King's Stag Memorial Chapel

King's Stag Memorial Chapel is a Church of England chapel in King's Stag, Dorset, England. History The memorial chapel at King's Stag was built in 1914 at the expense of the Right Rev. Huyshe Yeatman-Biggs, the Bishop of Worcester, in memory of his wife, Lady Barbara Yeatman-Biggs, who died in 1909. Prior to its construction, a small mission room had served the hamlet. At the time, the churchyards at both Stock Gaylard and Lydlinch were full, and the Bishop also believed a chapel would benefit parishioners when journeying to a parish church was difficult, such as in bad weather. The site of the chapel, approximately a quarter of an acre, was gifted by the Bishop's son, Mr. Lewis Yeatman. Its position spanned two ecclesiastical parishes, with the chapel and part of the burial ground belonging to that of Stock Gaylard, while the rest of the ground was based in Lydlinch. The foundation stone was laid by Lady Octavia Legge, the sister of Lady Yeatman-Biggs, on 1 August 1914. The chapel was built by Mr. R. G. Spiller of Sherborne. The chapel's bell was gifted by Miss E. F. E. Yeatman. Architecture The chapel is approximately 40 feet in length and 18 feet wide. It is built of brick, with cement rendering and half-timbered framing using oak, and a tiled roof. The porch is built of Bath stone. The west side of the chapel has a small vestry and adjoining store room which was designed for the bier, coal and other stores. References
Bible Christian Chapel, St Agnes, Isles of Scilly

The Bible Christian Chapel, St Agnes was a Bible Christian chapel in St Agnes, Isles of Scilly. History Bible Christians arrived in St Agnes in the 1830s. Initially they worshipped in a meeting-house but eventually were able to build their own chapel. The current chapel was built at a cost of around £156 (equivalent to £15,300 in 2025) and was opened on 24 July 1874. In 1907, the Bible Christian Church in England was amalgamated with the United Methodist Free Churches and the Methodist New Connexion, to form the United Methodist Church. On closure the building became the island reading room and later the island hall. In 2014 the Island Hall was extended at a cost of £2.4m to the designs of Poynton Bradbury Wynter Cole, Architects, to provide 6 workspaces and a community hub. References
The Diamond, Sheffield

The Diamond is a building in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, part of the University of Sheffield. Housing specialist engineering facilities as well as seminar room and open plan study spaces, it was completed in September 2015 at a cost of £81 million, the largest capital investment ever made by the university. It is situated on Leavygreave Road, between the Jessop Wing and St George's Church. History The Diamond was built to replace the Grade II-listed Edwardian wing of the Jessop Hospital, taking over from the Sir Frederick Mappin Building as the new home of the Faculty of Engineering, the largest faculty at the university, with the goal to double student numbers in the faculty by 2021. Construction work began in July 2013 and the building opened in September 2015, in time for the start of that year's autumn semester. Building The building takes its name from its unique facade, which comprises a cellular pattern of interconnected diamond shapes made of anodised aluminium, inspired by the form of diamond at a molecular level, over a frame of reinforced concrete and exterior glass cladding. It has nine lecture theatres, nineteen laboratories and more than thirty classrooms, linked by a central atrium area with a large study space and a café. Within the atrium, curved pods house IT suites and small seminar rooms. Reaction Reaction to the building was mixed. It received a commendation from the British Constructional Steelwork Association Structural Steel Design Awards for its design and construction, and MP for Sheffield Central Paul Blomfield commented that the building would be "the jewel in the crown not only for the University itself, but also for the city". It was shortlisted for the 2016 Carbuncle Cup, awarded to the ugliest new building in the UK. The architectural magazine Building Design described it thus: "with the efficiency of a twin-thrust turbo engine, it commits sins on both the outside and the inside." References
Kinder Reservoir

Kinder Reservoir is a public water storage reservoir on the western edge of Kinder Scout plateau in Derbyshire. The reservoir lies at the head of the Kinder Valley, 278 metres (912 ft) above sea level and 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) to the north east of the village of Hayfield. It is owned by United Utilities Group PLC. Details The reservoir is fed by the River Kinder and by the stream flowing over several small cascades down William Clough valley, which is owned by the National Trust. The reservoir supplies drinking water and is currently owned and operated by United Utilities. The reservoir has a storage capacity of 2,340,000 cubic metres (510,000,000 imp gal) and a surface area of 180,000 square metres (44 acres). Stockport Corporation engaged Abram Kellet of Ealing to build Kinder Reservoir, to supplement the local public water supply. The site above Hayfield was selected by engineer James Mansergh and the reservoir was constructed between 1903 and 1911. Difficulties with the geology led to a change in design in 1905 from a masonry dam to an earth dam. Following financial disputes in the courts, Stockport Corporation terminated its contract with Kellets and appointed G H Hill and Sons in 1908 to complete the construction. Two farms were abandoned to make way for the reservoir. Two Acts of Parliament approved the standard-gauge railway that was built to transport materials and navvy workers to the construction site. A small settlement of temporary huts developed for the workers and their families. The reservoir was officially opened on 11 July 1912. The filter house (built beside the reservoir in c.1910) was decommissioned in 1996, when the water began being piped to the newly built Wybersley Water Treatment Works at High Lane, near Stockport. Despite the Kinder filter house being a "notable" example of early 20th-century municipal architecture, photographic evidence shows the present owners have allowed it to fall into disrepair. There is a public car park on Kinder Road about 1.5 kilometres (0.9 mi) down the valley from the reservoir. Footpaths provide a circular walk of about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) around the reservoir. The higher ground around the reservoir and Wiliam Clough are a heather moorland landscape. References
Embalse de Kinder

El embalse de Kinder es un depósito público de almacenamiento de agua en el borde occidental de la meseta de Kinder Scout en Derbyshire, Inglaterra. El embalse se encuentra en la cabecera del valle del río Kinder, 278 metros (304 yd) sobre el nivel del mar y 3 kilómetros (1,9 mi) al noreste del pueblo de Hayfield.​​ Es propiedad de United Utilities Group PLC.​ Detalles El embalse es alimentado por el río Kinder y por la corriente que fluye sobre varias cascadas pequeñas por el valle de William Clough, que es propiedad del National Trust. El embalse suministra agua potable y actualmente es propiedad y está operado por United Utilities. El embalse tiene una capacidad de almacenamiento de 3219 hm³ y una superficie de 18 ha.​ Stockport Corporation contrató a Abram Kellet de Ealing para construir el embalse de Kinder, para complementar el suministro de agua público local. El sitio sobre Hayfield fue seleccionado por el ingeniero James Mansergh y el depósito se construyó entre 1903 y 1911. Las dificultades con la geología llevaron a un cambio en el diseño en 1905 de una presa de mampostería a una presa de tierra. Luego de disputas financieras en los tribunales, Stockport Corporation rescindió su contrato con Kellets y nombró a GH Hill and Sons en 1908 para completar la construcción. Se abandonaron dos fincas para dar paso al embalse. Dos leyes del Parlamento aprobaron el ferrocarril de ancho estándar que se construyó para transportar materiales y trabajadores de la marina al sitio de construcción.​ Se desarrolló un pequeño asentamiento de chozas temporales para los trabajadores y sus familias. El embalse se inauguró oficialmente el 11 de julio de 1912.​​ La casa del filtro (construida al lado del depósito en c.1910) fue desmantelada en 1996, cuando el agua comenzó a canalizarse a las obras de tratamiento de agua Wybersley recién construidas en High Lane, cerca de Stockport.​ A pesar de que la casa del filtro de Kinder es un ejemplo "notable" de la arquitectura municipal de principios del siglo XX, la evidencia fotográfica muestra que los propietarios actuales han permitido que se deteriore.​ Hay un aparcamiento público en Kinder Road a unos 1,5 kilómetros (0,9 mi) por el valle desde el embalse.​ Los senderos proporcionan una caminata circular de unos 4 kilómetros (2,5 mi) alrededor del depósito. El terreno más alto alrededor del embalse y Wiliam Clough son un paisaje de páramos de brezo.​ Referencias Enlaces externos
Wessenden Reservoir

Wessenden Reservoir is the second in a series of four reservoirs in the Wessenden Valley above the village of Marsden in West Yorkshire, at the northern end of the Peak District National Park. Following the Wessenden Valley Reservoir Embankment Act 1836 (6 & 7 Will. 4. c. xciv), the Wessenden Commissioners (formally, "The Commissioners of the Wessenden Reservoir"), were established to build Wessenden Reservoir, to supply water to power the mills further down the valley and to protect people and property from floods. The reservoir was created by the construction of an earth embankment across Wessenden Brook. The reservoir ran dry during droughts in 1852, 1864 and 1865. The Huddersfield Corporation Waterworks Act 1890 (53 & 54 Vict. c. cxv) led to Huddersfield Corporation purchasing the reservoir from the Wessenden Commissioners in order to supply drinking water to the town. Wessenden Reservoir has a storage capacity of 107,000,000 imperial gallons (490,000,000 L). The reservoir is currently owned and operated by Yorkshire Water. The Wessenden Valley Woodland Project was initiated in 2017 to develop natural habitats with increased biodiversity. The Pennine Way long-distance footpath runs along the northern side of the reservoir and its dam. The Peak District Boundary Walk long-distance trail also passes the northern end of the dam.

Wessenden Head Reservoir

Wessenden Head Reservoir is the highest in a series of four reservoirs in the Wessenden Valley above the village of Marsden in West Yorkshire, at the northern end of the Peak District National Park. Following the Wessenden Valley Reservoir Embankment Act 1836 (6 & 7 Will. 4. c. xciv), Wessenden Reservoir was created by the construction of an earth embankment across Wessenden Brook. The Huddersfield Waterworks and Improvement Act 1876 (39 & 40 Vict. c. c) approved the building of a new reservoir above Wessenden Reservoir. Wessenden Head Reservoir was built between 1877 and 1881, fed from a catchwater drain via a sluice in the Shiny Brook (a tributary of Wessenden Brook). The Huddersfield Corporation Waterworks Act 1890 (53 & 54 Vict. c. cxv) led to Huddersfield Corporation purchasing the reservoirs from the Wessenden Commissioners in order to supply drinking water to the town. Wessenden Head Reservoir has a storage capacity of 82,000,000 imperial gallons (370,000,000 L). The reservoir is currently owned and operated by Yorkshire Water. The Wessenden Valley Woodland Project was initiated in 2017 to develop natural habitats with increased biodiversity.

Bomb Crater Pond (Walthamstow)

Bomb Crater Pond is a pond in the Walthamstow Marshes in the London Borough of Waltham Forest, England. It formed in the crater left by the explosion of a German V-2 rocket on 11 February 1945, during World War II. History In February 1945, near the end of World War II, the German 485th Artillery Regiment of the Wehrmacht was renamed 902nd Artillery Regiment and relocated to Holland. The regiment's special purpose (German "z.b.V." i.e. "zur besonderen Verwendung") was to launch V-2 rockets. On 11 February 1945, its 3rd Artillery Battery launched one of its many attacks against London. The V2 rocket, however, did not hit its target and ended up in the Walthamstow Marshes instead. Nobody was killed, but one person was injured, and the nearby Latham Timber Yard was covered in thick mud. The crater was left untouched. Over the following years, it gradually filled up with water. Today, it can be seen in a cattle enclosure by the footpath following the River Lea on the south-west corner of the Walthamstow Marshes. References Further reading Ashon, Will (2017).

Bomb Crater Pond

Bomb Crater Pond – niewielki staw położony na bagnach Walthamstow Marshes w gminie London Borough of Waltham Forest w Anglii. Powstał w kraterze po eksplozji niemieckiego rakietowego pocisku balistycznego V-2, podczas II wojny światowej. Historia W lutym 1945 roku, pod koniec II wojny światowej, niemiecki 485 Pułk Artylerii Wehrmachtu został przemianowany na 902 Pułk Artylerii i przeniesiony do Holandii. Specjalnym przeznaczeniem pułku było wystrzeliwanie rakiet V-2. 11 lutego 1945 roku jego 3 Bateria Artylerii rozpoczęła jeden z wielu ataków na Londyn. Rakieta V-2 jednak nie trafiła w cel i wylądowała na bagnach Walthamstow Marshes. Nikt nie zginął, ale jedna osoba została ranna, a pobliski skład drewna Latham Timber Yard pokrył się grubą warstwą błota. Krater pozostał nietknięty. W kolejnych latach stopniowo wypełniał się wodą. Dziś można go zobaczyć w zagrodzie dla bydła przy ścieżce biegnącej wzdłuż rzeki Lea, w południowo-zachodnim narożniku bagien Walthamstow Marshes. Przypisy
Greyfield Wood

Greyfield Wood is a woodland to the west of High Littleton, Somerset, England. It is around 16 km (9.9 mi) from Bath and 19 km (12 mi) from Bristol. It is a mixture of ancient woodland and new planting. History Greyfield wood was once part of the Earl of Warwick's hunting estate. Part of the wood was once Greyfield Colliery, which was the biggest single industry in the area in the middle of the 18th Century. The colliery closed in 1911. In popular culture Greyfield Wood, and the waterfall at Stephen's Vale Nature Reserve, were used as locations for filming the British television series Robin of Sherwood. References

Ramsgate power station

Ramsgate power station supplied electricity to the town of Ramsgate, Kent, England and the surrounding area from 1905 to 1958. The station was operated by the Ramsgate and District Electric Supply Company Limited until the nationalisation of the British electricity supply industry in 1948. The coal-fired power station had a maximum electricity generating capacity of 2 MW. History The Ramsgate and District Electric Supply Company Limited (incorporated in 1903) applied for a provisional order under the Electric Lighting Acts to generate and supply electricity to the town and local area. The Ramsgate Electric Lighting Order 1904 was granted by the Board of Trade and was confirmed by Parliament through the Electric Lighting Orders Confirmation (No. 3) Act 1904 (4 Edw. 7. c. clxxvi). The company built the Ramsgate power station (51°20′31″N 01°24′34″E) in Prince's Road, Ramsgate. This was adjacent to the corporation refuse destructor. New plant was installed and the output of the power station was uprated to meet the increased demand for electricity. In 1937 the County of London Electric Supply Company purchased the Ramsgate and District Electric Supply Company from Edmundsons Electricity Corporation. The Ramsgate Company's capital was £150,000. The British electricity supply industry was nationalised in 1948 under the provisions of the Electricity Act 1947 (10 & 11 Geo. 6. c. 54). The Ramsgate electricity undertaking was abolished, ownership of the power station was vested in the British Electricity Authority, and subsequently the Central Electricity Authority and the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB). At the same time the electricity distribution and sales responsibilities of the Ramsgate electricity undertaking were transferred to the South Eastern Electricity Board (SEEBOARD). Ramsgate power station was closed and decommissioned on 1 April 1958 by the CEGB and was subsequently demolished. The site is occupied by an electricity sub-station. Equipment specification Plant in 1923 By 1923 the generating plant comprised: Coal-fired boilers generating up to 20,400 lb/h (2.57 kg/s) of steam which was supplied to: Generators: 1 × 90 kW steam reciprocating engine direct current (DC) 1 × 200 kW steam reciprocating engine DC 1 × 300 kW steam reciprocating engine DC These machines gave a total generating capacity of 590 kW DC. Electricity supplies available to consumers were at 480 and 240 Volts DC. Operations Operating data 1921–23 The electricity supply data for the period 1921–23 was: Electricity Loads on the system were: Revenue from the sale of current (in 1923) was £19,649; the surplus of revenue over expenses was £10,048. Operating data 1946 In 1946 Ramsgate power station supplied 1,659 MWh of electricity; the maximum output load was 2,148 kW.

Eros House

Eros House is a Brutalist building in Catford, Lewisham, south London. It was designed by Rodney Gordon and Owen Luder and built 1960-63. It had originally been designed as an office building but was subsequently converted into flats. Around 2000 much of the building's exterior was clad with insulation panels that substantially altered its appearance. The changes were such that Luder disowned the building before his death. The building replaced the old Eros Theater in Catford, and was part of a larger urban renewal project that also included a shopping centre designed by Gordon and Luder. The building has characteristics that are typical of Luder's and Gordon's brutalist architecture, including the freestanding stair tower. Critic Ian Nairn write "...it transforms the surroundings instead of despising them. This most craggy and uncompromising of London buildings turns out to be full of firm gentleness.".

Eros House

Eros House är en brutalistisk byggnad i Catford, i Lewisham i södra London, ritat av Rodney Gordon och Owen Luder och uppfört 1960–63. Byggnaden ersatte den gamla teatern i Catford och var en del i ett större stadsförnyelseprojekt som även inbegrep ett köpcentrum ritat av Gordon och Luder. Byggnaden har flera kännetecken som är typiska för Luders och Gordons brutalistiska arkitektur, bland annat det fristående trapptornet. Byggnaden har dock inte lika skulpturala former som exempelvis Trinity Square car park. Huset är numera kulturminnesskyddat.
Château de Castle Rising

Le château de Castle Rising, près de King's Lynn dans le Norfolk, est un château fort du XIIe siècle aujourd'hui en ruines. Il a été construit en 1138 par Guillaume d'Aubigny, 1er comte d'Arundel, qui possédait aussi le château d'Arundel. Une grande partie de son donjon carré est intacte, et il est maintenant sous la garde de l'English Heritage. Histoire Castle Rising est l'un des plus célèbres châteaux du XIIe siècle, probablement construit sur le modèle de celui de Norwich. Au nord du château se trouve une église en ruine qui date d'environ 1100, l'église et le donjon semblent avoir été blanchis à la chaux au cours de la période médiévale. Les travaux de terrassement entourant le donjon du château ont été considérables. Leur aspect actuel est le résultat d'un programme de renforcement majeur de la fin du XIIe siècle et au début du XIIIe siècle. Il est possible que cette reconstruction majeure ait eu lieu en réaction à la révolte de 1173-1174 et de l'activité militaire accrue associée. Le chef des rebelles dans l'East Anglia était Hugues Bigot, un rival de Guillaume d'Aubigny, qui a pris le château de Norwich au cours de la rébellion. William revint de Normandie pour affronter Bigot dans la bataille, et l'amélioration de Castle Rising peut être considérée comme le résultat de ces événements. Au cours de la période de la guerre civile, le château frappait la monnaie pour Étienne d'Angleterre. Entre 1330 et 1358, il fut la résidence de la reine Isabelle de France, épouse du roi Édouard II d'Angleterre, qui y est certainement décédée. Visites Le château est en bon état, malgré son âge de plus de 850 ans. Un des traits les plus frappants est le terrassement entourant les douves. Le sol ainsi constitué est maintenant recouvert d'herbe pour des raisons esthétiques. Un chemin de gravier au-dessus de la zone bâtie, permet au visiteur de faire le tour à droite du bâtiment, et d'obtenir une bonne vue sur le château, mais aussi sur la ville de Castle Rising et ses environs. Une visite audio est disponible au magasin de l'English Heritage.
