Università del Surrey

L'Università del Surrey è un'università britannica situata a Guildford, nella contea di Surrey, Sud Est dell'Inghilterra. In passato, l'istituto era un politecnico. Storia L'Università del Surrey è stata preceduta dal Politecnico di Battersea, istituto fondato nel 1891 con l'obiettivo di permettere l'accesso all'istruzione superiore alle famiglie meno abbienti. I piani di studio prevedevano discipline scientifiche e tecnologiche. Nel 1956 l'ateneo venne rinominato "Istituto tecnologico di Battersea". Verso gli inizi degli anni '60 fu deciso di trasferire l'istituto universitario a Guildford dove, nel 1965, venne acquistato un grande terreno da edificare. Nel 1966 l'Università del Surrey ricevette il regio decreto legge e negli anni '70 il trasferimento venne completato. Struttura L'università è organizzata in quattro facoltà: Arti e scienze umane Diritto, economia e commercio Ingegneria e scienze matematiche, fisiche e naturali Scienze mediche e della salute L'università dispone di due campus: il principale è situato vicino al centro di Guildford, adiacente alla cattedrale dello Spirto Santo, il secondo ospita gli alloggi degli studenti, le strutture sportive e altri edifici accademici.

Universiteit van Surrey

De Universiteit van Surrey (Engels: University of Surrey) is een (onderzoeks)universiteit in de Britse stadje Guildford in het graafschap Surrey. De chancellor van de instelling, een protocolaire voorzitterspositie, is sinds 1977 prins Edward, hertog van Kent. De instelling was aanvankelijk een Londense hogeschool. In 1891 werd het Battersea Polytechnic Institute opgericht in Londen met de opdracht voor de armere bevolking hoger onderwijs aan te bieden. Het instituut was gevestigd in en dankte zijn naam aan Battersea Park. De eerste studenten werden in 1894 toegelaten. Het instituut kreeg in 1956 de erkenning van zijn hoogstaand technisch onderwijsniveau als College of Advanced Technology en uitte dit met een naamswijziging als Battersea College of Technology. In het begin van de jaren zestig was plaatsgebrek in het Londense park de hoofdreden zuidwaarts te trekken en een hervestiging in Guildford volgde in 1966. Samen met een hele reeks dan nieuwe Engelse plateglassuniversiteiten volgde dat jaar ook bij Royal charter de toestemming als universiteit te werken, en werd samen met de inhuldiging van de nieuwe locatie en campus, de status als universiteit en de huidige naam aangenomen. De opening van de instelling vond plaats op 21 oktober 1966, de dag van de ramp van Aberfan. De laatste afdelingen verhuisden in 1970 van Battersea Park naar Guildford. De hoofdcampus van de instelling, de Stag Hill campus, is gelegen vlak bij de kathedraal van Guildford. Het allereerste optreden van Led Zeppelin onder die groepsnaam vond plaats op de campus van de universiteit op 25 oktober 1968. Het voormalig en huidig professorencorps telt intussen tien Fellows of the Royal Society, een Fellow of the British Academy, eenentwintig Fellows of the Royal Academy of Engineering en zes Fellows of the Academy of Social Sciences. Tot de alumni behoren baronet George Young, componist Richard Lambert en autodesigner Alec Issigonis, die in 1957 de Mini ontwierp.

Formby High School

Formby High School is an English secondary school with academy status located in the town of Formby, Merseyside. The local primary schools Freshfield, Redgate and Trinity St. Peter's act as feeder schools to Formby High. History and administration The school was officially opened in November 1938 and later reopened in 1972 by Margaret Thatcher during her tenure as Secretary of State for Education and Science. However, the school faced challenges with overcrowding in the 1970s, with ten-form entries by 1971, each with over 30 pupils per class, prompting considerations for conditional admissions in 1972. To address the issue, the Sefton Education Authority provided temporary classrooms in 1974, accommodating 200 students. By that time, enrollment had reached 1,560 pupils, which expected to rise to 1,750 by September 1974. Construction was scheduled to commence on a new sixth form block around this time to alleviate capacity constraints. Additionally, building work started on a new high school in April 1974, initially known as Formby South High School, with an anticipated capacity of 750 pupils and the potential to accommodate up to 1,050 pupils. In 2002, the school achieved specialist school status as an Arts College, allowing it to access additional funding in this subject area. Two years later, in 2004, its newsixth form building was opened by local MP Claire Curtis-Thomas. Under the leadership of Alex Wood, the school currently accommodates over 1,000 students. Notable former pupils Angela Eagle, Labour MP and former minister Maria Eagle, Labour MP and former minister Andrew Cooper (Labour politician), Labour MP Karl Neilson, television director Stacey Roca, actress Robbie Foy, footballer References External links Official website
Formby Hall

Formby Hall is located to the north-east of Formby in the English metropolitan county of Merseyside, in secluded woodland adjoining the Formby Hall Golf and Country Club. The present house, built for William Formby, dates back to 1523 but it is believed that the Formby family has occupied the site since the 12th century. Early years Over the years the hall has seen many owners and occupants. The Formby family lived at Formby Hall in a direct father-to-son line from the year 1110, with just a single break, when a cousin entered the line of succession. Many modifications and additions have been made to the original building. For example, the battlements were added in the mid-18th century by John Formby who took inspiration from the Gothic-style architecture of Horace Walpole's home at Twickenham. In 1896 the hall was modernised by Colonel John Formby who added the West Wing drawing room. 20th century During World War II, the hall was continuously occupied by army personnel, with up to 150 soldiers accommodated in the spacious rooms. In the summer of 1949, the hall was broken into in the early hours through a ground floor window, with thieves taking keys from a bedroom and ransacking drawers in an office. The owner, John Frederic Lonsdale, quoted that "I wish I weren't such a sound sleeper", believing that the burglar must have been someone very familiar with the house and its layout. Among some of the valuables taken were silver ashtrays, cameras and cash. The hall was inherited by successive generations of sons of the Lord of the Manor. This chain ended in 1958 upon the death of Colonel John Frederic Lonsdale Formby whose sons had both died during the Second World War. The estate was inherited by an Australian nephew but then fell into disrepair. The hall was Grade II* listed in 1966. In the 1970s, John Moores Junior leased the hall and the lands and used it as a home to house children from the crowded areas of inner city Liverpool. Dereliction and refurbishment By the 1980s, the hall was once again disused and fell into dereliction. After this, Richard Irving acquired the whole Formby estate. At that time it was a run down collection of derelict buildings and overgrown land. After two years he sold the hall to another local businessman, who bought it as 'site as seen' without even conducting a survey and has since restored the hall to its former glory. The remaining land was sold to other local businessmen who developed a golf course.

Former Bristol and West Building

The former Bristol and West Building on Marsh Street/St Augustine's Parade, Bristol and facing onto The Centre, was built in 1967 by Alec French and partners. Rising 61 metres with 17 stories, the building was formerly used as the headquarters of the Bristol and West until early 2006. It was clad in granite-chipped pre-cast concrete. In the early 2000s plans to demolish and replace with a 23-storey building, the tallest in Bristol, were proposed, but rejected. Since then, major renovations have been carried out, including re-cladding in blue-tinted glass panels of different shades to give the illusion the building merges into the sky. After several delays the building reopened in May 2009 as a 176-room hotel operated by Radisson SAS. In addition to the hotel, the site also includes residential apartments and shops.

Formosa Island

Formosa Island ist eine Insel in der Themse, in England am Cookham Lock bei Cookham, Berkshire. Zwei kleine Inseln liegen in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft. Mit einer Größe von 20 Hektar gehört die bewaldete Insel zu den größten Inseln in der Themse oberhalb des Teddington Lock. Die Insel kann über eine Fußgängerbrücke von Cookham erreicht werden. Formosa liegt zwischen zwei von den vier Armen des Flusses bei Cookham. Der Cookham am nächsten gelegene war früher ein Mühlstrom für eine Papierfabrik im Ort. Der andere Flussarm führt zum Odney Wehr. Die gegenüberliegende Mill Island grenzt an den Flussarm zur Schleuse. Jenseits der Schleusenzufahrt ist Sashes Island. Der Flussarm, der am weitesten von Cookham entfernt ist, ist das Hedsor Water, der ursprüngliche Schifffahrtskanal, der durch den Bau des Wehrs 1837 für diesen Zweck geschlossen wurde.

Formosa Island

Formosa Island is an island in the River Thames in England at Cookham Lock near Cookham, Berkshire, with two smaller adjacent islands. The island is one of the largest on the non-tidal river Thames with 50 acres (20 ha) of woodland. It can be reached by footbridge from Cookham. Most of the land on Formosa Island is owned by the John Lewis Partnership, and forms part of the Odney Club country club owned by the company. Formosa Island is between two of the four channels in the river at Cookham, the one closest to Cookham was once the mill stream to a paper mill at Cookham. The one on the other side leads to Odney Weir. The adjacent Mill Island has the lock channel on the other side. Beyond the lock channel is Sashes Island and the channel furthest from Cookham is Hedsor Water, the original navigation channel, which was blocked by the weir in 1830 when the lock was opened, causing loss of trade to then owner Lord Boston.

Fort Albert

i4i6 Fort Albert war eine turmartige Befestigung unterhalb der Klippen westlich von Fort Victoria auf der Isle of Wight, England. Es war auch als Cliff End Fort, nach der Lage am Nordende der Colwell Bay (Cliff’s End), bekannt. Geschichte Fort Albert wurde aus Furcht vor einer französischen Invasion unter Napoleon III. von der von Lord Palmerston berufenen Royal Commission on the Defence of the United Kingdom beschlossen. Wie andere der sogenannten Palmerston Forts wurde es auf einer künstlichen Insel erbaut. Es diente zur Verteidigung der westlichen Zufahrt nach Portsmouth, speziell der Needles Passage. Als einer der letzten gebauten Befestigungstürme in England wurde es für 29 Kanonen in vier Ebenen geplant. Vier Jahre nach dem Entwurf wurde es 1856 fertiggestellt, aber wie die zeitgenössischen größeren Forts der amerikanischen Seacoast Defense hätte es einem Beschuss aus den neuentwickelten gezogenen Kanonen nicht standgehalten. Daher wurden weitere Batterien auf dem höhergelegenen Kliff aufgebaut. Aber bereits 1858 machten die gepanzerten Schiffe das Fort unsinnig. 1886 wurden Brennan-Torpedos installiert, die die Wasserstraße bestreichen konnten. Nachdem auch diese Technik veraltet war, wurde sie 1906 abgebaut und nur noch kleine Kanonen in Stellung gebracht. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde es nur als Beobachtungsposten und ab 1957 vom Militär nicht mehr genutzt. Heute ist das Fort in Privatbesitz und wird für Wohnungen genutzt. Es besteht kein öffentlicher Zugang, auch nicht zum Kliff oberhalb. Einzelnachweise Weblinks Victorian Forts data sheet (PDF; 338 kB)
Fort Albert

Fort Albert (map reference SZ330890) is a tower fort nestling under the cliffs south-west of Fort Victoria on the Isle of Wight, England. It was also known as Cliff End Fort, named after the Northern extremity of Colwell Bay (Cliff's End). History Fort Albert was one of the Royal Commission forts built in the 19th century as part of Lord Palmerston's defences against the possibility of a French attack from Napoleon III. Designed to defend the Needles Passage, it was completed in 1856, after 4 years of construction, but like the American Third System forts it resembles in miniature, it would have suffered badly from rifled gunfire, so the Royal Commission enhanced it with batteries on the cliffs above. Even so, with the introduction of armoured ships, the fort became obsolete by 1858. In 1886 it was selected as one of the UK locations for the Brennan torpedo. After this, only small guns were mounted on the fort. It was closed to military use in 1957. Fort Albert today The fort is in private ownership and has been converted into private flats. There is no public access, not even to the cliff tops which overlook it. It is most easily viewed from the sea, or from Hurst Castle. The battery above is part of a chalet estate at Brambles Chine. It has been a Grade II* Listed Building since 1994. References Publications Cantwell, Anthony (1986). The Needles Defences. Isle of Wight: Solent Papers.

Fort Clarence

Fort Clarence is a now defunct fortification that is located in Rochester, Kent, England. History The fort was built between 1808 and 1812 to prevent invaders gaining access from Maidstone Road to the River Medway. The work was composed of a long brick revetted dry ditch running between a fortified guardroom on the Rochester-Maidstone Road to a similar tower alongside the Medway. The principal work (still surviving) is a massive red brick keep, in the style of a medieval castle, which served as gun tower and observation post. In the sides of the tower were embrasures to sweep the ditch with fire. The dry ditch running across St Margaret's Street was crossed by drawbridge through a substantial casemated guardhouse in the form of an arch (which was demolished in the 1930s). From the tower ran a series of tunnels to the outlying guardhouses. Behind the dry ditch running from the tower down to Maidstone Road was a range of domestic building and barracks. After 1815, the fort served a variety of purposes, including military prison and lunatic asylum. After nearby Fort Pitt became a military hospital, the patients were moved from Clarence to a new asylum, although the prison remained, with accounts of floggings being given in local newspapers. The fort was used by the garrison artillery throughout the First World War as a recruiting centre. After the war, a large Territorial and Volunteer Reserve centre was built alongside the site and the main barrack site run down. During the Second World War, the Home Guard used Fort Clarence as headquarters and, with the invasion scare, the fort was pressed into service again. After the war, the fort became derelict, then in the mid 1960s the GPO (now British Telecom) moved in, demolishing all the barracks, filling in a substantial part of the moat and demolishing the Maidstone Road guardhouse. The most substantial remains now are the brick gun tower and section of ditch from St Margaret's Street into the public gardens opposite. Below the gardens — donated to the city of Rochester by former mayor Charles Willis in memory of a son killed in the First World War — is a sally port with sealed-up door. This connected with tunnel that led to the gun tower and probably to the Medway tower, which is long demolished. Intruders into the tunnel system would have been greeted by fire from loopholes built into the entrance tunnels walls. The tower was transferred by English Heritage to private developers in the late 1990s and has now been converted to apartments. From the outside, the tower has been restored to pristine condition although there is an obvious contemporary structure added on the roof. On both sides the lowest pair of embrasures appear to be below ground level which indicates that originally the ditch was much deeper and more formidable than it now appears. On the east site, the brow of the hill has also been flattened to allow houses to be built and therefore the strategic dominance of the location harder to visualise. The site is a Grade II listed building. References Further reading Defender of the Medway, prison, asylum ... and luxury home, by Stephen Rayner, Memories page, Medway News.
