The Swedish School in London

The Swedish School in London (Swedish: Svenska Skolan i London) is an independent school located in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Since its founding in 1907, the school has supported Swedish expatriate families wishing to maintain their language and cultural heritage while living in London. Approximately half of the pupils are permanently resident in the UK, while the remainder are expats. The school consists of a nursery, primary school and secondary school (Swedish: förskolan och grundskolan) for pupils aged 2-16 years, located near St Paul's School in Barnes, London, and a sixth form (gymnasiet) for 16- to 19-year-olds, in Kew, London, co-located with The National Archives. The sixth form of the school has three programmes: a science programme, a social science programme focusing on civics and the humanities and a business administration programme focusing on economics and entrepreneurship. The Swedish School in London is regulated by the British schools inspectorate, Ofsted, as well as by the Swedish national agency for education, Skolverket. The school welcomes Swedish exchange students in the Sixth Form, who stay with local host families arranged by the school. The school has been recognised as Outstanding for the last 14 years, including as a boarding school. History The school was founded in 1907 in and was originally hosted in Ulrika Eleonora Church (The Swedish Church in London) at Harcourt Street in Marylebone. The school's former PE hall and canteen is today Svenska Salen. The church was designed in 1911 by architects Herbert Wigglesworth and Axel H. Haig (known for Harrow School, Trinity College) in Victorian Gothic Revival style. The lower school moved to Barnes in 1976 to a building designed by Swedish architect Klas Nilsson. The school's Sixth Form was previously based at the American International University in Richmond but moved to The National Archives in Kew in 2019.

Svenska skolan i London

Svenska skolan i London är en så kallad utlandsskola för svenskar som grundades 1907 på Harcourt Street i centrala London. Sedan 1976 ligger skolan i Barnes i sydvästra London, vid Themsen. Skolan ligger intill den kända engelska pojkskolan St Paul's School. Svenska skolan tar emot elever från förskola upp till gymnasium. På gymnasiet erbjuds boende i värdfamilj och många av gymnasieeleverna studerar endast en eller två utbytesterminer på skolan. Skolan följer svensk läroplan och majoriteten av undervisningen sker på svenska. Gymnasiet erbjuder tre nationella högskoleförberedande gymnasieprogram: naturvetenskapsprogrammet, samhällsvetenskapsprogrammet och ekonomiskt program . Gymnasiet flyttade efter 11 år[när?] vid Richmond upon Thames College till Richmond, The American International University in London.

Ryedale Folk Museum

Das Ryedale Folk Museum ist ein Freilichtmuseum im Vereinigten Königreich in der englischen Grafschaft North Yorkshire. Das Museum stellt die Geschichte des Distrikts Ryedale von der Eisenzeit bis zu den 1950er Jahren dar. Lage Das Museum liegt im Ortszentrum von Hutton-le-Hole, das selber schon fast wie ein Freilichtmuseum wirkt. Das kleine Dorf liegt im Süden des Nationalparks North York Moors und etwa 10 km NNO von Kirkymoorside. Das Museumsgelände liegt am Ortsrand und die Museumsweiden gehen mehr oder weniger nahtlos in das Grünland der Umgebung über. Geschichte Das Museum wurde 1964 auf Initiative von Bertram Frank gegründet. Er war auch der erste Kurator des Museums. Das Grundstück wurde von der Familie Crosland überlassen. 1995 war das Museum das Museum of the Year. Es wurde auch darüber hinaus mit dem Guibekian Price und mit dem Guibekian Award für the most Improved Museum in a Rural Area ausgezeichnet. Derzeit (2017) wird das Museum von Jennifer Smith geleitet. Aufbau des Museums Das Museum stellt die Geschichte des Districts Ryedale anhand verschiedener Gebäude dar. Dabei läuft man durch das Museum von den 1950er-Jahren zurück bis zur Eisenzeit. Der erste Gebäudekomplex, direkt hinter dem Museumseingang, besteht aus Schmieden, einem Dorfladen mit Postamt, einer Apotheke und Dorfhandwerkerwerkstätten im Stil der 1950er Jahre. Danach folgen verschiedene typische Gebäude eines Dorfs aus verschiedenen Jahrhunderten und von verschiedenen sozialen Schichten: u. a. ein Herrenhaus, ein Landarbeiterhaus, ein früher für Moorlandschaften typisches Langhaus, das im Gegensatz zu den anderen Gebäuden rekonstruiert werden musste, da kein derartiges Gebäude mehr vorhanden war. In einer WWII-Baracke sind eine alte Schule und ein Raum für die Museumspädagogik eingerichtet und in einer ehemaligen Scheune die Museumswerkstatt. Ein zur Glasschmelze benutzter Ofen wurde in Rosedale 1969 ausgegraben und in das Museum gebracht. Diese Technologie wurde im 16. Jahrhundert von Hugenotten mitgebracht, die als Glaubensflüchtlinge aus Frankreich und Belgien nach England kamen. Erwähnenswert ist weiterhin das Atelier des Fotografen William Hayers (1871–1940), das 1902 ursprünglich in Monkgate errichtet wurde. Es ist eines der ganz seltenen erhaltenen Exemplare eines freistehenden Fotoateliers. Ein vergleichbares steht im Freilichtmuseum Beuren. Darüber hinaus besitzt das Museum Gärten, Weiden für Schafe, Kühe und Schweine, ein kleines Sumpfgebiet und einen Acker. Letzterer wird derzeit auch zur Kultivierung von Ackerwildkräutern eingesetzt, die ein paar Meter weiter in einem speziellen Beet gezüchtet werden.

Ryedale Folk Museum

Ryedale Folk Museum is an open-air museum in the village of Hutton-le-Hole in the North York Moors National Park. This museum tells the stories of local people from pre-history to the present day. About twenty of the museum's buildings have been saved from nearby villages and reconstructed at the museum. The museum buildings and estate occupy an area of six acres. Background Local resident Wilfred Crosland originally acquired a collection of regional rural artefacts and from 1935 onwards, made arrangements to display them from time to time, until the start of World War II. After Wilfred died in 1961, his sisters, Helen and Hannah (known as Minnie), developed his idea for a museum, and they appointed Bertram (Bert) Frank as its first curator. Bert Frank was supported by his wife, Evelyn, alongside countless volunteers. One room was used from 1962. History Signage referring to the "Ryedale Folk Museum" was first erected in 1963 and the museum officially opened in March 1964. A Look North TV crew attended in April 1964. In 2023, the museum hosted an exhibition of traditional rag rugs made by a local couple focused on preserving the craft. In 2024, an exhibition titled Believe it or Not explored folk belief and magical thinking, with exhibited items including witch posts and everyday domestic items believed to have protective powers, such as knitting sheaths, apple scoops, and butter moulds. The buildings at the Museum There are many different buildings at the Museum. Some have been relocated from nearby villages, others have been purpose built to serve the needs of the Museum and collections on display. The buildings include: Stang End cottage, bearing a witch post. Pickard's Cottage Manor House or Harome Hall Washhouse William Hayes' Daylight Photographic Studio an Iron Age roundhouse a Crofter's Cottage a Witch's Hovel a Shepherd's Hut a potting shed workshops for the cobbler, tinsmith, cooper, joiner and wheelwright, saddler, iron foundry and undertaker a working blacksmith's shop. There are also agricultural machinery and farm animals (sheep, chickens and pigs) on the estate. Television and Film The Museum has featured in various television programmes including Escape to the Country, BBC Look North and Secret Britain. In January 2026 it was seen on Robson Green's programme, Weekend Escapes, on BBC2. Robson Green and Chris Kamara visited the museum and made a traditional bee skep from wheat straw with one of the Museum's volunteers. The Museum has been used in various films and features including the BBC's production of Death Comes to Pemberley and Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose starring Simon Pegg and Minnie Driver.

Avalanche (Blackpool Pleasure Beach)

Avalanche is a steel bobsled roller coaster at Pleasure Beach Resort (better known as Blackpool Pleasure Beach) in Blackpool, England. It was the first bobsled coaster in the United Kingdom, and remains the only one in the country. It was designed and built by Mack Rides and opened in 1988. History Avalanche opened to the public on 22 June 1988 in a ceremony hosted by Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards. It was the first bobsled roller coaster to be constructed in the United Kingdom, and the third bobsled coaster built by Mack Rides. A visit to the Mack family-owned Europa-Park, where the company's first bobsled coaster had already opened in 1985, inspired the creation of Avalanche. Pleasure Beach Resort sponsored the British bobsleigh team during the 1988 Winter Olympics, and supported them by donating a portion of Avalanche ticket sales to the team. In its first year of operation, Avalanche carried one million passengers. Ride experience Upon dispatch, the train exits the station and enters the lift hill. At the top of the lift hill, the ride is released onto the main downhill track, which the ride is not physically held onto. It travels through various bobsled track style curves, picking up speed, before reaching the lowest curve and curving back up again. It then flattens out and travels into the first brake run, before the train travels around a bend and into the final brake run, after which it returns to the station. The ride has 350 metres (1,160 ft) of track and the cars reach a top speed of around 72 km/h (45 mph). It has a maximum height of 18 metres (59 ft). The ride has three trains consisting of seven cars each. Each car can hold two riders, for a total of 14 passengers per train. A maximum of only two trains can be operated at any given time. The trains are painted the same colours as the 1988 British Bobsled team. Theming Avalanche is themed to an Alpine bobsled track. The station building was designed to look like an Alpine village lodge. The loading platform room is decorated with emblems of Swiss regions and pictures of famous Bobsled teams. Traditional Swiss music plays in the station and outside the station building. A bobsleigh used by the Great British team is displayed in the station building. Incidents On 29 August 1994, ten people were hospitalised after the train stopped abruptly on the block section outside of the station. In 1997, the train jumped on the brakes, causing it to crash into itself. One boy was taken to hospital with bruised ribs. This incident was shown on the BBC television documentary about Pleasure Beach Resort in 1998. In popular culture Avalanche appears in the video game RollerCoaster Tycoon Deluxe in the Blackpool Pleasure Beach scenario. References

Pleasurewood Hills

Pleasurewood Hills ist ein Freizeitpark in Lowestoft (Suffolk, England, Vereinigtes Konigreich Vereinigtes Königreich), der 1983 eröffnet wurde.

Pleasurewood Hills

Pleasurewood Hills is a theme park on a 59-acre (24 ha) site between Corton and Gunton, near Lowestoft, Suffolk. History The park was created by entrepreneur Joe Larter in 1983 as a small American-themed family attraction, containing a miniature railway, Cine 180 and adventure playground. Yearly expansion brought the addition of new attractions and general improvements. Controlling interest in the park was sold to RKF, a property development company, in the late 1980s. RKF built attractions including two Sea Life centres (Great Yarmouth & Hunstanton), a Ripley's Believe It or Not (Great Yarmouth seafront) and the 9-mile (14 km) Bure Valley Railway (in Aylsham). It started building a second Pleasurewood Hills style park in Cleethorpes. RKF went bankrupt in early 1991 and its attractions were sold. Some Pleasurewood management staff took control of The Bygone Village at Fleggburgh. Noel Edmonds converted the Haunted Theatre into Crinkley Bottom Castle in the mid-1990s. The park also featured appearances by Mr Blobby and Edmonds himself. The park continued in this vein until 1996–1997, when it was bought by Leisure Great Britain, a caravan park operator. It owned the park until 2000, when Peter and Peggy Hadden, who had been connected with the park for many years, bought it. The name changed to New Pleasurewood Hills. In 2000 the park bought Magic Mouse. In 2004, Grévin & Cie, a French leisure group, purchased the site. The name reverted to its original form and in early 2005 the owners said they would spend £3 million on improvements. Changes included repainting and renaming a number of rides, but the first major investment was in the park's first inverting coaster, Wipeout, from the closed American Adventure. The old cars were scrapped and new ones bought from Walibi World. In 2009 the Mellow Yellow log flume was repainted and had a revamped entrance. It is now called Timber Falls. In 2010 the park put a StreetDance show in the Castle Theatre. In 2010 the park appointed a new manager after Yves Delhommeau (2004-2009). On 30 January 2011, it was announced that the park had been sold to a new company. Looping Group, in partnership with industry expert Laurent Bruloy, purchased seven leisure parks, including Pleasurewood Hills, from across Europe. The seven parks will benefit from a joint investment of around £1.7million over 5 years. This included the addition of 5 new attractions for the 2012 season and another 4 a year later.
