Oldfields Ground

Oldfields Ground is a cricket ground in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire. The first recorded match on the ground was in 1905, when Staffordshire played Bedfordshire in the grounds first Minor Counties Championship match. The county played a further Minor Counties match on the ground in 1906, but after that it would not be until 1950 that Staffordshire used the ground again, using it as a home venue from 1950 to 1970. In total, the ground hosted 21 Minor Counties Championship matches, with the final Minor Counties match seeing Staffordshire play Durham. Formed by John Bamford, who was a North of England industrialist, J. Bamford's XI used the ground for first-class matches, the first of which was against the touring South Africans in 1907, the second was against the Marylebone Cricket Club Australian Touring Team in 1908 and the touring Australians in 1909. The last county match on the ground was the 1970 Minor Counties Championship fixture between Staffordshire and Durham. The ground is still in use and the pavilion is a listed building.

Oldham Academy North

Previous Address Grange High School Rochdale Road OL9 6QA The Oldham Academy North (TOAN) is a mixed gender secondary school with academy status for 11- to 16-year-olds located in the Royton area of Oldham, Greater Manchester, England. The academy is sponsored by E-ACT. The school relocated to a new campus in Royton in 2013. It is also the home to Shaw Millionaires Ball Hockey Club. In September 2019, TOAN opened the doors to its new £5 million building, which facilitates the entire Humanities' classrooms - along with several miscellaneous subjects and a "state-of-the-art" lecture theatre Controversies Students forced to pray outside In 2021, video of Muslim TOAN students performing Friday prayers outside the academy "in the cold" circulated online. They attempted to pray inside, before a member of staff shouted at them. This caused online "outrage", condemnation and criticism from Muslims, and praise for the students for the commitment towards their religion. The academy worked with Oldham Council and the Oldham Interfaith Forum to issue a joint statement, offering a "wholehearted" apology. Derogatory remarks by former headteacher Old Tweets made by TOAN's headteacher Rachel Hallam were discovered in 2022 containing "racial and derogatory comments". This too caused unrest and disappointment, though the Tweets were made more than a decade ago. Hallam subsequently resigned before being appointed as headteacher at another school.

Oliver’s Island

Oliver’s Island ist eine kleine stark bewaldete Insel oder Werder, im von den Gezeiten beeinflussten Abschnitt der Themse in England. Sie liegt im London Borough of Hounslow nahe Kew gegenüber von Strand-on-the-Green in Chiswick. Geschichte Der Name der Insel beruht auf der Geschichte, dass Oliver Cromwell dort Zuflucht gesucht haben soll. Aber es gibt mit an Sicherheit grenzender Wahrscheinlichkeit keine Grundlage für diese Geschichte. Sie hieß Strand Ayt bis ein Jahrhundert nach dem Englischen Bürgerkrieg. Dann hatte sich die Legende herausgebildet, das Cromwell ein provisorisches Hauptquartier im Bull’s Head (Strand-on-the-Green) Pub eingerichtet habe. Die Geschichte wurde untermauert durch die Behauptung, dass ein geheimer Tunnel die Insel mit dem Pub verband. Es konnte aber niemals ein Hinweis auf diesen Tunnel entdeckt werden. 1777 errichtet das Schifffahrtskomitee der City of London ein Zollhaus auf Oliver’s Island um eine Gebühr von den vorbeifahrenden Schiffen zu erheben, die die Schiffbarkeit des Flusses finanzieren sollte. Es war ein Holzgebäude in der Form einer Burg. Eine Barke (engl. Barge) lag an der Insel von dem aus die Gebühren kassiert wurden. Die „City Barge“ gab einem Gasthaus in Strand-on-the-Green den Namen. Barken waren hier so lange stationiert bis ein Kai auf der Surreyseite des Flusses gebaut wurde. 1865 gab es eine Schmiede auf der Insel und sie wurde ein Ort an dem Barken gebaut und repariert wurden. 1857 übernahm die Thames Conservancy die Verantwortung für die Schifffahrt von der City of London und 1909 übertrug sie Oliver’s Island der Port of London Authority (PLA). Die PLA benutzte die Insel als Lager und Anleger für nicht mehr gebrauchte Boote. Als die PLA 1971 versuchte die Insel zu verkaufen, führte die Strand-on-the-Green Association, als eine Vertretung der Einwohner der Umgebung den Protest dagegen an und der Plan wurde schnell fallen gelassen. 1990 wurde die Schmiede abgerissen. Die dicht bewaldete Insel ist nun Lebensraum für Reiher, Kormorane und Kanadagänse. Siehe auch Liste der Inseln in der Themse Weblinks Literatur Fred S. Thacker: The Thames highway. A. M.

Oliver's Island

Oliver's Island is a tree-covered 0.9-acre (0.36 ha) ait (river island), in the River Thames in England. It is in the London Borough of Hounslow, on the Tideway, facing Kew and Strand-on-the-Green in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, and is owned by the Port of London Authority. Description The thickly-wooded islet is a haven for herons, cormorants and Canada geese. It is mid-stream equidistant from Priory Park Allotments, Kew and Strand-on-the-Green, Chiswick. Etymology and alternate name The islet derives its name from a story that Oliver Cromwell once took refuge on it, but there is almost certainly no truth in this story. It was called Strand Ayt until a century after the English Civil War, by which time a myth had arisen that Cromwell had set up an intermittent headquarters at the Bull's Head, Strand-on-the-Green. The story was embellished with the suggestion that a secret tunnel connected the island to the inn, but no evidence of any tunnel has ever been found. History In 1777 the City of London's navigation committee installed a tollbooth on the islet to levy charges on passing craft to fund improvements to the river's navigability. This was a wooden structure in the shape of a small castle, and a barge was moored alongside, from which the tolls were taken. The "City Barge" gave its name to the inn at Strand-on-the-Green. Successor barges were often stationed here to collect tolls until a dock was built on the Surrey (south) shore. A smithy was on the island by 1865 and it became a place where barges were built and repaired, the Thames Conservancy Works spanning its north shore and the facing the north shore; in 1857 the Thames Conservancy took over the above-mentioned roles of the City of London and in 1909 assigned the islet to the Port of London Authority (PLA), which used its small building as a storage depot and all its shores as a wharf, with crane, for derelict vessels. When the PLA tried to sell the island in 1971, the Strand on the Green Association, an amenity society formed by residents for their locality, led the protests. The plan was quickly dropped. The smithy was demolished in 1990. See also Islands in the River Thames References Sources Thacker, Fred S (1968). The Thames Highway. New York: A. M. Kelley. OCLC 443588.

Oliver Cromwell's House

Oliver Cromwell's House in Ely, Cambridgeshire, England was the family home of Oliver Cromwell. The kitchen dates from around 1215, other parts being built later. The house was the vicarage of St Mary's Church (which is adjacent to it) until 1986. In 1988 it was bought by the City of Ely Council and was opened as a tourist attraction in 1990, and has been refurbished to show how it may have looked during Cromwell's lifetime. Following a 2019 refurbishment, the house featured a Civil War exhibition with interactive displays and interpretations. References External links Official website

One Piccadilly Gardens

One Piccadilly Gardens is a large office building in Manchester, England. It is located on the east side of Piccadilly Gardens, a large public square in Manchester city centre, and was built in 2003 on former public land, as part of the redevelopment of the gardens. History The area now known as Piccadilly Gardens was donated to the City of Manchester in the 18th century by the Lord of the manor of Manchester, Sir Oswald Mosley, 2nd Baronet, of Rolleston, on condition that it should remain in public use in perpetuity, on pain of the land reverting to the Mosley family. With Mosley's assent, the Manchester Royal Infirmary was built here in 1755. After the hospital relocated, the Infirmary building was demolished in 1910. In the 1930s, the area was landscaped and a sunken garden was laid out on the footprint of the former hospital basement, with formal flower beds, a rose garden and flowering cherry trees. At the end of the 20th century, it was decided to redevelop Piccadilly Gardens, and in the 1990s, Manchester City Council sold a parcel of land at the eastern end of the Gardens to the Argent Group property developer in order to fund the project. Commentators have noted that the disposal of land apparently contravened Lord Mosley's injunction, that the land should be retained for public use in perpetuity. As a result of the sale, the size of Piccadilly Gardens was reduced by 11%. Construction One Piccadilly Gardens opened in 2003 as part of the redevelopment of Piccadilly Gardens; the building was designed by Allies and Morrison and has large glazed facades behind a red brick grid. The building houses six floors of office space, with shops and restaurants on the ground floor. The entrance to the offices is via a double height diagonal void through the ground and first floors of the building which links Portland Street to Piccadilly Gardens. In 2004, the building was awarded a RIBA National Award by the Royal Institute of British Architects for providing "a strong enclosure to the space" and for its facade which "reinforces the bond with the topography" of the adjacent Gardens. Owners Argent Group sold the building in September 2011 to Europa Capital. to Legal & General Property’s Managed Property Fund.in August 2014, One Piccadilly Gardens was purchased by Legal & General Property's Managed Property Fund. At the time, building was generating an annual rental income of more than £4.3m.

Onesacre Hall

Onesacre Hall is a Grade II* Listed building situated in the rural outskirts of the City of Sheffield in South Yorkshire, England. The hall is located on Green Lane in the small hamlet of Onesacre in the suburb of Oughtibridge, 5 miles (8.5 km) north west of the city centre. History The present Onesacre Hall has no exact date of construction but is believed to have been built in the early and middle parts of the 17th century, however Onesacre itself is a hamlet of some antiquity, it was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 and before that was part of the estate of the Saxon Lord, Godric. In the Domesday Book the hamlet is spelt Anesacre meaning "The Field of An" and comes from the Old Norse language. Onesacre was originally created as a forest clearing on high ground above the Don valley by Norwegian settlers. After the Norman Conquest the Onesacre lands were owned by the Le Rous family who were probably of Norman descent. Around 1380 the lands passed to the Stead family when Alice Le Rous, the sole heiress married John Stead of Wentworth. The Steads were to become substantial landowners throughout South Yorkshire and owned the Onesacre estate for over 400 years until the year 1794, they were also connected to the nearby Hillsborough House and Burrowlee House. It was Nicholas Stead (1583-1639) and his son Thomas (1619–86) who instigated the building of the gabled and mullioned Onesacre Hall using the master mason John Hawley of nearby Thorn House Farm to construct the hall. The building was done in two phases the first being 1630 -1640 and the second between 1660 -1670. In 1672 the Steads were taxed on six hearths at the hall. After the Steads left Onesacre Hall in 1794 it became a farm with a writer commenting in 1862, Here was a fine specimen of domestic architecture common a century or two ago - a many gabled mansion now used as a farmhouse. The hall was divided into two farmhouses. One was Tophill Farm. The other was rented by Mr. Joe Wood who delivered milk to Oughtibridge and the surrounding district. The hall fell into disrepair during the second half of the 20th century and substantial renovation work has turned the hall into two private dwellings. Before the restoration a cock pit was found in the roof area of the hall. Architecture The hall is constructed from ashlar sandstone with a stone slate roof, it is built in a rough "H" plan and has two storey with an attic. It has doubled chamfered mullion windows throughout some of which have had 20th century modification. The interior has chamfered beams in the left wing while the right wing has a large arched kitchen fireplace. References

Onley (lost settlement)

Onley is a deserted medieval village in Northamptonshire, England, forming a small salient along the border with Warwickshire. Onley lies within the parish of Barby. The site is bordered on the north by the M45 motorway. On the east are HMP Onley and Rye Hill, which make up most of Onley's modern population, and on the south-west is the A45 road. The Oxford Canal and the disused trackbed of the Great Central Railway run close to the eastern boundary. History Onley was presumed to be included under entries for Barby in taxation records before 1272. The first known mention of Onley is in 1272, when it was recorded as being in the possession of George de Cantelupe along with the manor of Barby. The entry records that "Virgates in villeinage are valued at 9 shilling per annum". Records in 1345 mention ‘Tenements in Onle’, which may imply that at that time the village was still viable. There is no further record of Onley until the early part of the 18th century, when the village was described as only a hamlet of seven shepherds' houses, which implies that the site had become pasture land for sheep. Records of 1841 show that 19 people lived on the site of Onley in five scattered farms which still exist on the land. Remains The earthwork remains lie either side of a stream that runs from south to west across the site with the north-eastern end of the stream now in a culvert. The whole area of the village site covers 28 hectares with much of the earthworks well preserved. There is some difficulty in interpreting some of the earthworks due to the site being over ploughed in narrow ridge and furrow which has smoothed and flattened some of the earthworks of the village. The features of this site combine to make Onley lost village one of the most important sites of this kind in the country, despite the lack of documentation. References

Opal Tower (Leeds)

Opal Tower (officially known as Opal 3, Leeds) is a 25-storey building in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It serves as student accommodation for 542 students, and is close to the City campus of Leeds Beckett University and the University of Leeds. As of 2018, it was the fourth tallest building in Leeds. Construction The initial planning application for this site (previously occupied by the Londoner pub) on Jacob St, Leeds city centre, was submitted in July 2005, for a 23-storey student apartment block. This design was later altered after initial approval and permission was granted in December 2006 to build the current 25 storey tower. Construction work began in early 2007 with an expected completion date of September 2008. The building was designed by Morrison Design and was developed by Opal Property Group, with the site contractor being Ocon Construction. Construction was completed on time, with the development opening to its student tenants between the 15th and 20th. The development is the fourth tallest building in Leeds, after Altus House, Bridgewater Place and The Plaza Tower which took Opal 3's title as second tallest approximately a year after its completion. Accommodation Opal 3 features cluster flats for up to 6 students, with single en-suite rooms being the bulk of accommodation, complemented by deluxe rooms (which have a double bed), and a small number of studio flats on the higher floors. Reception A 2008 article in Building Design said that "Morrison Design's Opal Tower is nearly as tall and as mean as Sky Plaza, again for the city's ruthlessly exploited student population, but is more clunky than horrifying."
