St Ives (Cornouailles)

St Ives est une ville de Cornouailles, appelée Porthia (le port de Ia) en cornique. Cette ville côtière, en baie de St Ives, commune du district de Penwith est située au nord de Penzance et à l'ouest de Camborne. Autrefois port de pêche, elle est devenue une station balnéaire et un lieu réputé pour ses nombreux artistes parmi lesquels les potiers Bernard Leach ou le groupe Troïka dont on retrouve des œuvres dans le musée local, la Tate St Ives. Au dernier recensement la ville comportait 9866 habitants. Histoire Selon la légende, les origines de la ville sont attribuées à la venue de la sainte irlandaise Ia (ou Ives) de Cornouailles au Ve siècle apr. J.-C. L'église de St Ives porte le nom de la sainte et le nom même de St Ives proviendrait d'une version déformée de son nom. Le peintre impressionniste James Abbott McNeill Whistler a séjourné trois mois en Cornouailles en 1884, avec ses élèves Mortimer Menpes (1855-1938) et Walter Sickert (1860-1942). Il a peint une vue de l'atelier du Dr Slack à Fore Street dans « Une note grise : Village Street ». Il serait passé devant ce bâtiment chaque jour en allant de son logement à Barnoon au port.

Preston Cenotaph

The Preston Cenotaph stands in Market Square, Preston, Lancashire, England, and is a monument to soldiers from Preston who perished in World War I and II. Unveiled on 13 June 1926, the memorial was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott with sculptural work by Henry Alfred Pegram. The monument The monument's main feature is a figure of "Victory" whose arms are raised and who holds laurel wreaths in either hand. The figure stands within columns supporting a pediment and on either side of the "Victory" figure are representations of those who died said to be "pleading for acceptance of their sacrifice". At the very top of the monument there is an empty coffin (hence "cenotaph" or "empty tomb") with cherubs and strands of foliage carved around it. There are flagpoles on either side of the monument. The memorial was unveiled on 13 June 1926 by Admiral of the Fleet Earl Jellicoe of Scapa. The main inscription reads: The names of those World War I servicemen honoured are contained in a Roll of Honour located in the Harris Museum. This Roll of Honour is inscribed on marble tablets on the ground floor of the building. The names of some 2,000 Prestonians are thus recorded Details of seven people whose names were omitted from the original listings were discovered and a framed document recording their names was installed in 1998. No Roll of Honour was produced for those who lost their lives in the Second World War but the Cenotaph remembers the deceased of both World Wars. 2012 restoration In 2012 the cenotaph was restored . The work, which cost £835,600, was finished in the autumn and included the carving of a new dedication to the people of the city who lost their lives in service since 1945. As part of Preston's commemorations of the outbreak of World War I, it was re-dedicated in a service on 13 June, 88 years since the original unveiling. On 23 November 2013 the cenotaph was the focus of an event by the artist Andy McKeown. Funded by Arts Council England, the event used material from the collections of the Harris Museum and the Lancashire Infantry Museum to highlight the lives of some of Preston's war dead. Every name from the roll of honour was projected onto the cenotaph.

Construction The bridge was built in 1959 by constructor Dowsett to carry two 33-inch (84 cm) diameter water pipes across the Tees. The bridge arch, weighing 200 tonnes was assembled on the Durham bank from prefabricated parts and rolled out across the river on a temporary Bailey bridge, then moved sideways onto its pre-prepared concrete abutments. Operation A third pipe was added in 1979 and there is strictly no public access across the bridge. The bridge is best accessed on foot from the Jubilee Bridge along the river bank.

Автогара Престън

Автогара Престън (на английски: Preston Bus Station) е централната автогара в град Престън, административния център на графство Ланкашър в северозападната част на Англия. Построена през 1968 – 1969 година по проект на архитектите Кийт Ингам и Чарлс Уилсън, автогарата може да обслужва едновременно 80 двуетажни автобуса. Достъпът на пешеходци се осъществява през три подлеза, като сградата включва и многоетажен паркинг на 5 нива с капацитет 1100 автомобила. Характерните извити парапети на етажите на паркинга са проектирани от конструкторите от Ове Аруп и партньори, след като използването на вертикална стена с приемливи за архитектите детайли се оказва твърде скъпо. В края на 20 век общината планира разрушаването на сградата, твърде голяма за нуждите на тази част на града, като част от проект за цялостно преустройство на градския център. Тези планове срещат съпротивата на обществени групи, които през 2000 година правят неуспешен опит да включат автогарата в списъка от защитени обекти на Английско наследство. Бележки
