Isla de Drake

Isla de Drake (en inglés: Drake's Island)​ es una isla de 2,6 hectáreas (6,5 acres ) que se encuentra en Plymouth Sound, el tramo de agua al sur de la ciudad de Plymouth, Devon, Inglaterra. Las rocas que forman la isla son de toba volcánica y lava, junto con caliza marina de mediados del periodo Devónico. Desde la última parte del siglo XVI la isla fue conocida como la isla de Drake en honor de Sir Francis Drake, el corsario inglés que utilizaba Plymouth como su puerto de partida. Fue desde aquí que Drake zarpó en 1577, para volver en 1580 después de dar la vuelta al mundo, mientras que en 1583, Drake fue nombrado gobernador de la isla. Desde 1549 la isla comenzó a ser fortificada para la defensa en contra de los franceses y españoles, con cuarteles para 300 hombres que se construyeron en la isla en el siglo XVI.

Drake's Island

Drake's Island is een 2,6 ha groot onbewoond eiland in de Plymouth Sound, de baai waaraan de Engelse stad Plymouth is gelegen. Geschiedenis Drake's Island, dat ongeveer 400 meter lang is en maximaal 100 meter breed, werd voor het eerst beschreven in 1135 als St. Michael's, naar een kapel die op het eiland was gebouwd. Deze werd later gewijd aan Sint Nicolaas, waarna het eiland de naam St. Nicholas's Island kreeg. Vanaf het einde van de zestiende eeuw werd het nu en dan aangeduid als Drake's Island, naar de Engelse kaper Sir Francis Drake, die Plymouth als thuishaven had en voor wie het eiland begin- en eindpunt was van de reis rond de wereld die hij van 1577 tot 1580 maakte. Tot ver in de negentiende eeuw echter bleef het eiland op kaarten en in andere bronnen vermeld worden als St. Nicholas's Island. De benaming Drake's Island wordt pas sinds het begin van de twintigste eeuw algemeen gebruikt. Vanaf 1549 werd het eiland gefortificeerd als verdediging tegen Frankrijk en Spanje, waarmee Engeland in die tijd regelmatig in oorlog was. Aan het einde van de zestiende eeuw werd er een barakkencomplex gebouwd, waarin 300 soldaten werden ondergebracht. Het eiland zou verscheidene eeuwen het centrum van de verdedigingswerken rond de stad Plymouth blijven. Tijdens de Engelse Burgeroorlog werd het ook als gevangenis gebruikt. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog Na afloop van de Tweede Wereldoorlog bleef het eiland onder beheer van het War Office, het Britse Ministerie van Oorlog. Hoewel dat in 1956 mededeelde dat Drake's Island voor verdedigingsdoeleinden niet langer noodzakelijk was, werd het pas in 1963 verlaten. Het eiland werd vervolgens door de Britse Kroon in erfpacht gegeven aan de Plymouth City Council, die er het op jongeren gerichte Drake's Island Adventure Centre vestigde, dat in 1964 werd geopend. In datzelfde jaar werd het eiland aangesloten op het waterleidingnet. Een telefoonaansluiting volgde op 1 mei 1987 (waarbij Drake's Island het nummer Plymouth 63393 kreeg). Drake's Island Adventure Centre werd op 31 mei 1989 gesloten, waarna het eiland weer in bezit kwam van de Britse Kroon. Drake Island werd in 1995 voor £ 384.000 gekocht door Dan McCauley, oud-voorzitter van de lokale voetbalclub Plymouth Argyle FC. Zijn plan om op het eiland een hotel en een recreatiecentrum te vestigen, voorzien van een landingsplaats voor hefschroefvliegtuigen, werd in 2003 afgewezen door de Plymouth City Council. In mei 2005 kwam Drake Island in het nieuws toen een van de gebouwen op het eiland bij wijze van protestactie werd bezet door een groep ontwapeningsactivisten.
Катедрала на Питърбъро

Катедралата в Питърбъро (на английски: Peterborough Cathedral), или Катедрална църква на св. Петър, св. Павел и св. Андрей (Cathedral Church of St. Peter, St. Paul and St. Andrew), е седалището на епископа на Питърбъро в Кеймбриджшър. Статуи на тримата светци, патрони на катедралата, са разположени на 3-те високи фронтона на известната Западна фасада. Катедралата е построена през 1118-1237 г. Започната през саксонския период, тя е с основно норманска архитектура след повторен строеж през ХІІ век. Наред с Дърамската катедрала и Катедралата в Или, тя е сред най-важните сгради в Англия от ХІІ век, оцелели в значителна степен непокътнати въпреки разширения и реставрации. Известна е с внушителната си ранноанглийска готическа Западна фасада, която с 3-те си огромни арки е без архитектурен прецедент и пряк наследник. Видът ѝ е малко асиметричен, тъй като едната от двете кули, които се издигат зад фасадата, никога не е завършена, но това е видимо само от разстояние, а ефектът на Западната фасада при влизане е смайващ.

Cattedrale di Peterborough

La cattedrale di Peterborough (cattedrale di San Pietro, San Paolo e Sant'Andrea, in inglese Cathedral Church of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew) è la chiesa principale della diocesi anglicana di Peterborough, nel Cambridgeshire (Inghilterra). È dedicata a San Pietro, San Paolo e Sant'Andrea, e loro effigi si incontrano nella facciata. Fondata come un'abbazia in epoca anglosassone (655), lo stile architettonico è per lo più normanno, data l'importante ricostruzione del XII secolo. In seguito alla dissoluzione dei monasteri, diventò una cattedrale nel 1541. L'ultimo abate, John Chambers, fu anche il suo primo vescovo, nominato da Enrico VIII d'Inghilterra ma riconosciuto poi anche da Roma visto che rimase al suo posto anche sotto Maria I Tudor fino alla morte nel 1556. Insieme alle cattedrali di Durham ed Ely, è uno degli edifici più importanti del XII secolo rimasti intatti in Inghilterra, sebbene abbia subito estensioni e restauri nel corso dei secoli. Elemento caratterizzante e peculiare dell'edificio è l'imponente facciata ovest con le sue tre arcate. Nella cattedrale è sepolta Caterina d'Aragona, prima moglie di Enrico VIII e madre della regina Maria I d'Inghilterra.

Kathedraal van Peterborough

De kathedraal van Peterborough is een anglicaanse kathedraal, die de zetel is van de bisschop van het bisdom Peterborough. De kathedraal heet voluit de Kathedraal van Sint-Petrus, Sint-Paulus en Sint-Andreas (Engels: Cathedral Church of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew), maar staat daarnaast ook wel bekend als de Sint-Petruskathedraal (Saint Peter's Cathedral). Geschiedenis Een eerste abdij te Peterborough, die stamde uit het jaar 655, werd grotendeels verwoest door Vikingen in 870. Halverwege de 10e eeuw werd een nieuwe abdij met kerk gebouwd. De abdij zou verwoest worden in 1069; de kerk kende eenzelfde lot in 1116. Met de bouw van het huidige gebouw werd begonnen in 1118. In 1238 werd het gebouw ingewijd. Tot op de dag van vandaag heeft het schip het originele houten plafond, dat stamt uit de periode 1230-1250. Tijdens de regeerperiode van de Tudors werden er twee koninginnen begraven in de kathedraal: Catharina van Aragon (in 1536) en Maria I van Schotland (in 1587). Catharina ligt nog altijd begraven in de kathedraal. Maria I van Schotland is in 1612 herbegraven in de Westminster Abbey. De kathedraal heeft te lijden gehad onder de Engelse Burgeroorlog. In 1643 beschadigden soldaten, die aan de kant stonden van het parlement, de kathedraal. In de 17e en 18e eeuw werd de schade gedeeltelijk hersteld. In 1883 begon een grootschalige restauratie. In 2001 raakte de kathedraal beschadigd door brand. Het orgel raakte door toedoen van zowel het vuur als het bluswater dusdanig beschadigd dat het herbouwd moest worden.

Bedminster Town Hall

Bedminster Town Hall is a former events venue in Cannon Street in Bedminster, a suburb of Bristol in England. The building is currently in use as a furniture shop. History In the late 19th century, a group of local businessmen decided to form a company, to be known as the Bedminster Town Hall Company, to finance and commission a new public hall for the parish. The site they selected was on the southwest side of Cannon Street. The new building was designed in the Italianate style, built in brick at a cost of nearly £6,000 and was completed in 1891. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of four bays facing onto Cannon Street. The central two bays on the ground floor featured round headed openings flanked by half-height columns with imposts supporting architraves. The outer bays on the ground floor and all the bays on the first floor were fenestrated by bi-partite round headed windows with tracery. There were pilasters separating the bays on the first floor and, at roof level, there was a modillioned cornice. Internally, the principal room was the main hall which was 67 feet (20 m) long and 51 feet (16 m) wide. It had seating for 750 people on the ground floor, 450 in the gallery, and standing room for another 350 people. An adjoining building, erected at the same time, housed a liberal club. The building was extensively used as a venue for concerts hosted by the Bristol South Musical Society. Performers included the contralto, Dame Clara Butt, who appeared in April 1893 and again in December 1894. However, the venture was not financially successful and the company which had developed the building was wound up in 1898. In 1909, the building was leased to the cinema pioneer, Ralph Pringle, who converted it into a cinema. It remained an independent cinema until 1954, when it was closed and was converted into a shopping mall. It was officially reopened as the "Bedminster Shopping Hall" on 11 February 1954. It was described two years later in the Estates Gazette as a "unique arcade" with "28 shops". The façade was later rebuilt in the modern style with a shop front on the ground floor and a series of nine tall casement windows on the first floor. By the early 21st century, it accommodated a furniture store, trading since around 2001 as Bedmaker, and since around 2009, as Kustom Floors. References
The Deramore Arms

The Deramore Arms, commonly referred to as The Derry, is a pub in Heslington, York, England. History There were three alehouses in Heslington, but by 1823 there were only two. At this time the pub was called The Ship. In 1840, it was called The Fox. By 1872 it was called The Yarburgh Arms, which in 1967 was updated to The Deramore Arms. During the Second World War, the pub was popular with Royal Air Force Bomber Command personnel stationed near by. On some occasions, the personnel held races between the Charles and the Deramore on top of a stuffed rhinoceros. When the University of York opened in 1963, the pub proved popular with students. It was initially the haunt of athletic students. In more recent years, the Deramore has been seen as the 'local' pub, while the Charles caters to the students, although there is considerable crossover between them. The popularity with sports teams university sports teams has remained, with Heslington Parish Council celebrating it as the traditional location for teams to congregate after matches, and for their pub crawls to begin from. The pub has also proved to be a popular location for attendees of conferences at the university, and an important location for academics at the university to develop their work. The pub has seen friction between students and locals. An attempt by The Spirit Group, the then-owner of the pub, to extend opening hours in 2005 was successfully challenged by the local community. The pub was the site of the sort-lived Four Thorns Brewery, but this turned out to be unsustainable. The pub closed in August 2016 when the licensees claimed that it was financially inviable to remain open. It then reopened in May 2017. In recognition of the pub's value to the local community, in 2017 Heslington Parish Council got it listed as an Asset of Community Value by City of York Council. In November 2023 the pub again had to close. It reopened shortly after Christmas, securing Shaun Wallace for one of their regular quizzes in May 2024. Origin of name The pub is named after the last family to live in Heslington Hall, the village's county manor. The Deramore baronetcy had a close connection with the village, but after selling the hall in 1956 they ceased to be as core a part of the local community. The family name of 'de Yarburgh-Bateson' was the origin of the precursor name of 'The Yarburgh Arms', but in 1967 the name was changed to the family title. References
Springfields Designer Outlet & Leisure

Springfields Designer Outlet & Leisure is a major outlet centre with gardens in Spalding, Lincolnshire. Stores As of 2024, the mall had 55 stores across its 45 acre site. Outlet brands at Springfields include Marks & Spencer, Joules, Skechers, Radley, Next Outlet, Levi's, Jack Wills, Molton Brown and Clarks. Places to eat include Costa Coffee, Caffe Nero and The Parlour, an Edwardian formal-style restaurant operated by Blue Diamond. Garden History During the 1920s, millions of visitors came by train, coach and car to tour the special tulip routes in the Spalding area, which has established itself as the centre of the British flower bulb industry. As such in 1959, over 200,000 people attended the first Spalding Tulip Parade. Springfields Festival Gardens were opened to the public in 1966 for the first time. A charity organisation, Springfields Horticultural Society, was formed to manage the gardens which raised public awareness about the growing and cultivation of flowers from bulbs, and the broader social benefits of horticulture and gardening as a means of relaxation and enjoyment. After decades of popularity, public interest in the Gardens began to wane, and maintenance of the gardens became difficult to sustain, even for the short 8-week spring flower season. In the early 2000s, several ideas were considered for funding new investment into the gardens, and eventually a plan was agreed upon with development partner Thornfield Properties, seeing the first Outlet Village in Lincolnshire being approved. Sheffield-based entrepreneur Ian Sanderson oversaw the project and remains to this day the developer, asset manager and centre director of Springfields. Springfields Festival Gardens became a Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) partner garden in 2025. Outlet History The shopping outlet opened on 1st May 2004, marked with a visit by Anne, Princess Royal , who planted a tree within the Festival Gardens, following in the footsteps of the Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother who planted a tree several decades earlier. An extension (South Avenue) was built in 2008, adding more stores and a Travelodge hotel. In 2018, further investment was made with the addition of Adventure Land, a family park opened by Samia Ghadie. The venue is home to 10 attractions including the largest JCB Young Drivers Zone in the UK. Planning permission has been fully consented for a 50,000 sq ft extension that will add approximately 15 new stores and restaurants. The developer reports this will create up to 350 new jobs for Spalding. Location and transport links Springfields is located in Spalding, at the junction of the A16 and A151. The nearest rail connection is Spalding railway station, around 20 minutes from Peterborough. Multiple bus links service the centre including the 37, 301, 505 and B3X. Events Springfields hosts events throughout the year, including an annual 'Fireworks & Music Spectacular' with a new theme each year, held around Bonfire Night. The Festival Gardens hosts an illuminated light trail, known as the Winter Wonderland Walk, throughout November and December. References

Isaac Newton Institute

Das Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge ist ein nationales britisches Forschungsinstitut für Mathematik und theoretische Physik. Es wurde 1992 gegründet und ist nach Isaac Newton benannt. Erster Direktor war der Mathematiker und Fields-Preisträger Michael Atiyah mit dem Physiker Peter Goddard als geschäftsführendem Direktor (Deputy Director). Der Konzeption nach sollte es kein ständiges Forschungspersonal haben, sondern Workshops und Konferenzen zu jeweils wechselnden Schwerpunktthemen durchführen (von denen zwei gleichzeitig laufen), die aber länger angelegt sein sollten (vier bis sechs Monate) als zum Beispiel die einwöchigen Oberwolfach-Konferenzen. Es wird getragen von der University of Cambridge, mit Beiträgen unter anderem vom EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council), dem Leverhulme Trust und der London Mathematical Society. Bei der Gründung spielten speziell das St John’s College, auf dessen Gelände sich das Institut befindet, und das Trinity College (Isaac Newton Trust) eine Rolle. 1993 stellte hier Andrew Wiles seinen Beweis der Fermatvermutung vor. 2002 eröffnete das Centre for Mathematical Sciences der Universität Cambridge in der Nachbarschaft des Instituts, in dem die mathematischen Institute der Universität gebündelt sind. Weitere Direktoren nach Atiyah waren Keith Moffatt (ab 1996), John Kingman (seit 2001) und David Wallace (seit 2006).

Isaac Newton Institute

The Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences is an international research institute for mathematics and its applications at the University of Cambridge. It is named after one of the university's most illustrious figures, the mathematician and natural philosopher Sir Isaac Newton, and occupies one of the buildings in the Cambridge Centre for Mathematical Sciences. History After a national competition run by SERC, the Science and Engineering Research Council (now known as EPSRC Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council), this institute was chosen to be the national research institute for mathematical sciences in the UK. It opened in 1992 with support from St John's College and Trinity College. St. John's provided the land and a purpose-built building, Trinity provided running costs for the first five years and the London Mathematical Society provided other support. Shortly afterwards at the institute, the British mathematician Andrew Wiles announced his approach to proving Fermat's Last Theorem in three lectures on 21–23 June 1993. In 1999 the institute was awarded a Queen's Anniversary Prize in recognition of "world-class achievement in education." Although it is part of the national infrastructure for mathematical research, it is formally part of the University of Cambridge, from which it receives some funding. Nowadays five UK Research Councils, BBSRC, EPSRC, ESRC, NERC, STFC support about 55% of its activity. A number of philanthropic individuals, family and educational trusts, private companies and bodies associated with the University of Cambridge give their support. Scientific programmes There are typically two or three programmes at any one time, each with up to twenty people and lasting between 4 weeks and 6 months. During these periods of activity there are courses and workshops for the attendees. Programmes are chosen from proposals that cover the entire range of mathematical sciences and their applications by a Scientific Steering Committee of mathematical scientists solely on their scientific merit and the likelihood that they will have significant impact in their subject. Although programmes are normally residential and planned several years ahead, during the COVID-19 pandemic, an urgent 6-workshop virtual programme on the Infectious Dynamics of Pandemics was approved and ran from April to September 2020. This was a successor to a 2013 programme on Infectious Disease Dynamics, and was complemented by virtual study groups and commissioned modelling for government.
