Riu Exe

El Riu Exe, en anglès: River Exe és un riu d'Anglaterra que neix a Exe Head, a 440 m d'altitud, prop de la població de Simonsbath, a Exmoor, Somerset, a 8,4 mm de la costa del Bristol Channel, però discorre cap al sud i així la major part de la seva llargada es troba a Devon. Arriba al mar a Lyme Bay, formant una ria, l'estuari de l'Exe. Té una llargada de 56 km en una conca de 1.500 km². El seu cabal mitjà, a la desembocadura, és de 15,89 m³/s. Topografia El nom d'aquest riu és una anglicització del llatí isca, al seu torn una llatinització de l'arrel britònica que significa "aigua" o, més exactament, "que és abundosa en peixos". La mateixa arrel apareix en la paraula whiskey escocès. El riu dona nom a la població d'Exeter ("fortalesa sobre el riu Exe") i a molts altres assentaments en el seu curs Referències Lawrence, Rod: The Exe: A River for Wildlife Bradford-on-Avon 1999 Enllaços externs RSPB reserves: Exminster & Powderham Marshes Dawlish Warren Nature Reserve
River Exe

Der River Exe ist ein etwa 95 km langer Zufluss des Ärmelkanals im Südwesten Englands. Verlauf Der Fluss entspringt an der Ostflanke des Exmoor Forest im Exmoor-Nationalpark im Nordwesten der Grafschaft Somerset. Die Quelle liegt lediglich 9 Kilometer von der Südküste des Bristolkanals entfernt, doch der River Exe fließt nach Südosten, bevor er bei Exton in Richtung Süden abbiegt. Seine Mündung befindet sich bei Exmouth an der Südküste der Grafschaft Devon am Ärmelkanal und ist als ein rund zehn Kilometer langes Ästuar ausgebildet. Dieses Ästuar befindet sich in einer Ria, einem einst tief ins Gelände eingeschnittenen Flusstal, das in der Nacheiszeit vom Meer geflutet wurde. Zahlreiche Dörfer und Städte am Flusslauf sind nach dem Exe benannt, darunter Exford, Up Exe, Nether Exe, Exwick, Exton, Exebridge, Exminster, Exeter und Exmouth. Eine weitere bedeutende Ortschaft ist Tiverton. Weblinks
Río Exe

El río Exe (pronunciado ɛks) es un corto río costero de la vertiente del canal de la Mancha del Reino Unido que discurre por el sureste de Inglaterra. Nace cerca del pueblo de Simonsbath, en Exmoor, Somerset, cerca de la costa del canal de Bristol, pero fluye más o menos directamente hacia el sur, de manera que la mayor parte de su curso queda en Devon. Alcanza el mar en una sustancial ría, el estuario de Exe, en la costa meridional de Devon. Históricamente, su puente más bajo estuvo en Exeter, aunque hay hoy un viaducto para la autopista M5 alrededor de 3 km al sur del centro de la ciudad. El nombre del río deriva de la palabra celta Isca que significa, simplemente, ‘agua’.​ El río da su nombre a la ciudad de Exeter y muchos otros asentamientos a lo largo de su curso, incluyendo Exford, Up Exe, Nether Exe, Exwick, Exton, Exminster y Exebridge, donde se le une el río Barle. La ciudad costera de Exmouth está en el lado oriental de la boca del estuario, y Dawlish Warren está en el oeste, con su larga tira de arena extendiéndose cruzando la desembocadura. El río animó el desarrollo de Exeter y su relativa importancia en la Edad Media, y la primera zona industrial de la ciudad se desarrolló en la Exe Island, isla en la que se asentaron numerosos molinos que producían papel y tejido; también creó tierra valiosa a través del drenaje de las marisma.​ Las mareas en el río se limitan en Countess Wear, el lugar de una presa encargada por la condesa de Devon en el siglo XIII.​ El canal de Exeter pasa sobre esta presa para permitir a los barcos alcanza el muelle de Exeter. Con la marea alta, el estuario forma un gran cuerpo de agua que se usa intensamente para deportes acuáticos especialmente la vela, el windsurf y el esquí acuático. Los ferrocarriles recorren ambos lados del estuario. La Avocet Line desde Exeter a Exmouth por el lado oriental, y la línea principal South Devon en el occidental. El segundo está sobre un paso elevado, el muro marino del Ferrocarril South Devon desde Powderham hasta Dawlish Warren. El ferry de Exmouth a Starcross lleva a pasajeros cruzando la desembocadura durante los meses de verano, uniendo la bahía en Exmouth con un embarcadero adyacente a la estación ferroviaria de Starcross en la línea principal de South Devon.

Exe (rzeka)

Exe – rzeka w południowo-zachodniej Anglii, licząca około 97 km długości. Swe źródła ma niedaleko wsi Simonsbath, w hrabstwie Somerset, na terenie Parku Narodowego Exmoor. Przez większość swego przebiegu płynie przez hrabstwo Devon, w kierunku południowym. Rzeka uchodzi do kanału La Manche, nieopodal miasta Exmouth, tworząc estuarium. Główne miasta położone nad rzeką to Exeter, Exmouth i Tiverton. Estuarium Exe stanowi ostoję ptactwa, objętą ochroną przez kilka rezerwatów przyrody. Rzeka jest miejscem uprawiania wędkarstwa (połów łososi i pstrągów) i sportów wodnych, a jej estuarium także żeglarstwa i obserwacji ptaków. Nazwa W czasach, gdy nasadę Półwyspu Kornwalijskiego zamieszkiwali Kornwalijczycy, rzeka nosiła nazwę Dunan (głęboka dolina). Rzymianie przekształcili tę nazwę na Damnonia. Obecna nazwa wywodzi się z czasów średniowiecznych. Przypisy Linki zewnętrzne Exe Estuary Management Partnership (ang.)
Экс (река)

Экс (англ. Exe) — река в Англии, протекающая по территории графств Сомерсет и Девон. Протяжённость реки составляет 88 км. Площадь водосборного бассейна — 1500 км². Средний расход воды — 15,89 м³/с. Высота истока — 440 м над уровнем моря. Берёт начало на возвышенностях Эксмура, в 8,4 км к югу от побережья Бристольского залива, течёт сначала в юго-восточном, потом в южном направлении, мимо Дэльвертона, Тивертона и Эксетера. От Тивертона река становится судоходной. У Эксмута, на южном побережье Девона, река впадает в залив Ла-Манша, Лайм, разливаясь в обширный эстуарий. Левые притоки: Хаддэо, Калм, Клист. Правые притоки: Барл, Криди. История Название реки происходит от кельтского слова «Isca», которое переводится как «вода». Река дала название городам Эксетер, Эксмут, Эксфорд, Эксвик, Экстон, Эксбридж и многим другим населённым пунктам, находящимся вдоль её течения. В Средние века река имела важное экономическое значение. Первый промышленный район города Эксетер располагался как раз на реке к западу от города. В этом районе было построено множество водяных мельниц, предприятий по производству бумаги и текстиля. Заболоченные земли в районе реки осушены и используются для сельскохозяйственных нужд. В XIII веке по приказу графини Изабеллы де Фортибус на реке была построена плотина. В 1563 году на реке был построен канал Эксетер. Обитатели реки Во время отлива на обширных берегах реки остаётся большое количества ила, который является важным источником питания для болотных птиц. Устье реки Экс является местом зимовки куликов. В реке обитает кумжа и хариус, в низовьях реки — сёмга. Примечания Литература Экс, река // Энциклопедический словарь Брокгауза и Ефрона : в 86 т. (82 т. и 4 доп.). — СПб., 1890—1907.

Exe (flod)

Exe [ˈɛks] är en flod i England. Den rinner upp vid Exe Head i närheten av byn Simonsbath på Exmoor i grevskapet Somerset, 8,4 kilometer från Bristolkanalens kust, men rinner mer eller mindre direkt söderut, så att större delen av den ligger i grevskapet Devon. Den mynnar i en betydande ria, Exeestuariet (Exe Estuary), på Devons sydkust (mot Engelska kanalen). Historiskt har flodens lägst (höjd över havet) belägna bro funnits i staden Exeter, men numera är det en motorvägsviadukt för M5 cirka tre kilometer utanför stadskärnan. Floden Beaulieu River i Hampshire hette tidigare River Exe. Topografi Namnet kommer av det keltiska ordet isca som betyder ’vatten’. Floden har gett namn åt staden Exeter och många andra orter längs dess fåra, däribland Exford, Up Exe, Nether Exe, Exwick, Exton, Exminster och Exebridge. Kuststaden Exmouth ligger vid flodmynningens strand och Dawlish Warren på den västra, med det långa sandnäset tvärsöver mynningen. Floden bidrog till Exeters tillväxt och relativa betydelse under medeltiden och stadens första industriområde växte fram på Exe Island, en ö som kommit till genom utdikning väster om staden. Holmen hyste flera vattenkraftdrivna pappers- och textilfabriker; där skapades också värdefulla landområden genom torrläggning av marskland. Tidvattnet i floden har en begränsad omfattning vid Countess Wear, där grevinnan Isabella de Fortibus av Devon på 1200-talet lät bygga ett överfallsvärn (wear). Via Exeter Canal kan fartyg ta sig förbi överfallsvärnet och nå kajen i Exeter. Vid flod nyttjas estuariet för vattensporter som segling, vindsurfing och vattenskidåkning. Järnväg löper längsmed estuariets bägge stränder: Avocet Line från Exeter till Exmouth på den östra sidan och South Devon main line på den västra. Sommartid tar färjan mellan Exmouth och Starcross passagerare tvärs över estuariemynningen. Fauna Vid ebb framträder vidsträckta leriga strandområden, som utgör viktiga matplatser för vadarfåglar. Tillsammans med andra rias i Sydvästengland är Exeestuariet en viktig plats för övervintrande vadare. Dawlish Warren är fågelskådarnas favoritplats. Floden är sur och hyser vild öring och en del harr. Till skillnad från många andra floder i West Country finns det ingen havsöring, men däremot atlantlax.

Old Town Hall, Wombwell

The Old Town Hall is a former municipal building in the High Street, Wombwell, South Yorkshire, England. The structure, which since 2012 has been used as a public house, is a locally listed building. History Following significant population growth, largely associated with the coal mining industry, the Wombwell Local Board was formed in 1865. After the local board was superseded by Wombwell Urban District Council in 1894, the new council quickly set about commissioning a town hall. The site they selected was on the corner of the High Street and Station Road. The foundation stone for the new building was laid by Kate Mitchell, the wife of a mining engineer living at Bolton Hall, on the day of the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria, 22 June 1897. The building was designed by municipal architect, John Robinson, in the Renaissance style, built in rubble masonry and was completed around 1900. The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage of three bays facing onto the High Street. The central bay contained a segmental headed doorway with a hood mould and a keystone with a pedimented plaque inscribed with the words "offices" above the doorway. There were pairs of bi-partite segmental headed windows on the first floor and at attic level, flanked by full height pilasters and surmounted by a moulded pediment with finials. The outer bays were fenestrated by tri-partite segmental headed windows on both floors and surmounted by a balustraded parapet, with a mansard roof behind. At the corner with Station Road, there was a canted bay with a segmentally headed windows on two floors and a three-stage tower above: the tower contained a quarter-chiming clock (by Potts of Leeds) in the first stage and bell-louvres in the upper stages all surmounted by a square spire and a weather vane. A memorial plaque to commemorate the lives of local service personnel who had died in the Second Boer War was attached to the north-west side of the building in around 1902. The building served as a recruiting station for young men joining the 13th (1st Barnsley Pals) and 14th (2nd Barnsley Pals) battalions of the York and Lancaster Regiment at the start of the First World War. The building continued to serve as the town hall for much of the 20th century, but ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council was formed in 1974. It subsequently continued to be used for the delivery of local services until it became surplus to the council's requirements in the early 21st century. In 2011, it was purchased by a local business owner, Steve Harris, who converted it into a public house, with flats above. The public house opened the following year, the occasion being marked by the brewing of Old Town Hall ale at the Acorn Brewery. A toilet block at the south end of the structure was demolished in 2013. References
Hammersmith Depot

Hammersmith Depot is a London Underground depot in Hammersmith. It is situated between Hammersmith and Goldhawk Road stations on the Circle and Hammersmith & City lines. History The depot opened in 1906 for the electrification of the then-Metropolitan Railway (now Hammersmith & City line). On 29 August 1991, three incendiary devices, attributed to the IRA, were discovered under a seat at the depot. There were no injuries. The depot's sheds were extended and upgraded in 2013 to enable stabling of the new, longer S7 Stock as part of the Four Lines Modernisation project. References
Hoyland Town Hall

Hoyland Town Hall is a former municipal building in Hoyland, a town in South Yorkshire in England. The town hall, which was previously the offices and meeting place of Hoyland Urban District Council, is currently in residential use. History The first town hall in Hoyland Nether was a small building designed in the neoclassical style, built in red brick and completed in 1840. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of five bays facing onto the High Street. The central bay, which was projected forward, featured a square headed doorway with a cornice on the ground floor, a tripartite window on the first floor, and a shallow pyramid-shaped roof. The outer bays were fenestrated by sash windows on both floors. A local grocery owner, Martha Knowles, donated a three stage-tower, with a clock in the second stage, louvres in the third stage, and an ogee-shaped roof, which was installed above and behind the central bay in 1892. After Hoyland Nether became an urban district in 1894, the new council adopted the town hall as its offices and meeting place. Following heavy allied losses at the Battle of Tannenberg in August 1914 at the start of the First World War, the council convened a committee in the town hall to raise funds for people in distress as a result of the war. After the first town hall became dilapidated, the council decided to demolish it and replace it with a more up-to-date three-storey structure. The new building was designed in the modern style, built in red brick and was opened on 11 July 1973. The new building faced onto the south and west sides of the market square. The council occupied the upper floors, which were fenestrated by small square casement windows, while the ground floor served as a supermarket. The new town hall ceased to be local seat of government after the enlarged Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council was formed in 1974. The enlarged council continued to use the new town hall for the provision of local services, but by the early 21st century, the offices had been mothballed. In 2004, a covert listening device was found when a clock fell off a wall, the origin of which could not be established. The Co-op Food supermarket on the ground floor closed in 2019. A developer submitted a planning application which proposed converting the building into 27 apartments, but this was rejected on the grounds that some would be unacceptably small or lack sufficient light. Instead, in 2022, the building was re-purchased by the borough council, and it was later converted into 21 apartments. References

Stocksbridge Town Hall

Stocksbridge Town Hall is a municipal building in Manchester Road in Stocksbridge, a town in South Yorkshire in England. The town hall, which was previously the offices and meeting place of Stocksbridge Urban District Council, is now the home of Stocksbridge Town Council as well as other community organisations. History After significant industrial growth in the mid-19th century, largely associated with the steel industry, a local board of health was formed in 1872. The local board initially established its offices in a row of terraced cottages sloping down what is now Fox Valley Way. Stocksbridge became an urban district in 1894 and, in the mid-1920s, civic leaders decided to erect a new town hall just to the southeast of the old council offices. The new building was designed by Henry Maynard Aitchison, the municipal architect and surveyor, in the neoclassical style, built by David Brearley & Sons in ashlar stone and was officially opened on by James Hinchliffe, the chair of the council, on 26 March 1928. The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage of four bays facing Manchester Road. The second bay on the left featured a round headed doorway with voussoirs and a keystone flanked by full-height pilasters constructed in rubble masonry. On the first floor there was a French door, a balcony fronted by iron railings and, on the right-hand side, a flagpole. The left-hand bay was fenestrated by a Diocletian window with voussoirs and keystones on the ground floor and by a casement window on the first floor. The right-hand section of two bays was fenestrated by two Diocletian windows with voussoirs and keystones on the ground floor and by a single Diocletian window with voussoirs and keystones on the first floor, and was surmounted by a gable containing a blind oculus. Internally, the principal rooms were the meeting space and offices for the council and a mortuary. There was also garaging for the local fire service behind the main building. In the early 21st century, a major programme of works, involving the reconstruction of a 1960s two-storey extension at the rear and the refurbishment of the main building, was initiated. Internal re-modelling allowed the complex to accommodate the offices of Stocksbridge Town Council, Stocksbridge's Future Partnership, and the local police service. The work was carried out by O & P Construction Services at a cost of £700,000 to a design by Service Design Associates and completed in April 2008. The complex subsequently became the home of the Valley History Museum Stocksbridge, featuring a collection of 17th century Bolsterstone Glass and 18th century Stocksbridge Pottery. Works of art in the town hall include three paintings of industrial scenes by the local artist, Robert Penistone. References Further reading Branston, Jack (1983). History of Stocksbridge.
