Lower Roddlesworth Reservoir

Lower Roddlesworth Reservoir is a reservoir on the River Roddlesworth close to Abbey Village in Lancashire, England. The reservoir is close to Upper Roddlesworth Reservoir and Rake Brook Reservoir, situated within thick forest. It was constructed in the 1850s by Thomas Hawksley for Liverpool Corporation Waterworks, and together with Rake Brook, was designed to hold compensation water to maintain flows in the rivers, whereas the reservoirs at Lower Rivington, Upper Rivington and Anglezarke held water for the public water supply. Water from the two compensation reservoirs was fed into Anglezarke reservoir by a 3.75-mile (6 km) channel called The Goit. An act of Parliament to authorise its construction was obtained in 1847, and Hawksley designed an earth dam which was 82 feet (25 m) tall at its highest point and 590 feet (180 m) long. It impounded 91 million imperial gallons (414 Ml) of water when full. The reservoir was completed in 1857. Bibliography References
Lower Tamar Lake

Lower Tamar Lake is a 35 acre reservoir located on the Devon-Cornwall border, in England, near Thurdon. It was constructed in the 1820s to supply water to the Bude Canal. It is now a nature reserve. It is also a popular fishing lake. The reservoir has been formed by damming the River Tamar. To the north (upstream) is the newer Upper Tamar Lake, a reservoir used for public water supply. The county boundary originally ran along the (natural) route of the River Tamar, but was re-aligned along a (now disused) re-routing of the river to the reservoir's west side, placing the lake in Devon. There are several short walks at the lake, such as the aqueduct trail. This is a path following the canal that reaches a small building showing the history of the lake. Another walk that can be taken is towards upper lake. this route is also popular for cyclists.

Lowestoft Sixth Form College

Lowestoft Sixth Form College is a sixth-form college in the town of Lowestoft in the English county of Suffolk. The college opened in September 2011, replacing sixth form provision in the existing high schools in Lowestoft. The college is a member of the Sixth Form College Association, Association of Colleges and the Association of Colleges Eastern Region. The current principal is Mr. David Gartland. Students come to Lowestoft Sixth Form College mainly from high schools in the local area of North Suffolk and South Norfolk. The college was established to educate students between the ages of 16 and 19. Students study for AS & A-Levels and other qualifications such as BTEC and GCSE. History The college replaced the Lowestoft Sixth Form Consortium, a shared sixth form provision which ran at the town's three high schools. A Suffolk County Council School Organisation Review decided that post 16 academic provisions in Lowestoft would be best served by a single institution, rather than through the three high-school based sixth forms at Benjamin Britten High School, Ormiston Denes Academy (formerly The Denes High School) and East Point Academy (formerly Kirkley Community High School). Capital funding for the College was approved at Ministerial level in December 2009 and building work was soon underway at a cost of £25 million. The College was officially opened on 17 October 2012, by Lord Tollemache the Lord-Lieutenant of Suffolk. The building Lowestoft Sixth Form College is a modern purpose-built building. It was designed by Atkins and constructed by Morgan Sindall, it consists of 8060m2 of learning space for up to 1000 students. Accommodation is on four floors. In 2012 it was announced as a winner of a Royal Institute of British Architects’ Craftsmanship award. The college was designed to be energy efficient. Facilities include science laboratories, a music recording studio, dance, drama and art studios as well as general teaching classrooms, pastoral support and a careers-advisory service.

Lowther Castle

Lowther Castle er et country house i det historiske county Westmorland, der nu er en del af Cumbria, England. Det har været ejet til Lowther-familien, og senest jarlerne af Lonsdale siden middelalderen. Francis Knollys eskorterede dronning Marie Stuart til Lowther Castle den 13. juli 1568 på hendes vej til Wharton og Bolton Castle. Den nuværende bygning stammer fra slutningen af 1600-tallet, hvor den blev bygget af John Lowther, 1. Viscount Lonsdale I 1800-tallet blev East India Companys skib HCS Lowther Castle opkaldt efter ejendommen. Lowther Castle er i dag en ruin, idet kun de ydre mure er bevaret. Interiøret blev fjernet i 1940'erne, og taget blev fjernet i 1957. Det er en listed building af første grad, og den drives som turistattraktion.

Castello di Lowther

Il castello di Lowther (in inglese Lowther Castle) è uno storico edificio realizzato nello stile di un castello medievale del villaggio inglese di Lowther, nella contea della Cumbria (Inghilterra nord-occidentale), realizzato nella forma attuale tra il 1806 e il 1814 su progetto dell'architetto Robert Smirke (ma le cui origini risalgono al XIV secolo) e che fu di proprietà della famiglia de Lowther, poi conti di Lonsdale. L'edificio è classificato come palazzo di secondo grado. Storia La tenuta su cui sorge l'edificio, costituita da un parco di 200 acri nei pressi del fiume Lowther, divenne di proprietà della famiglia Lowther a partire dalla metà del XII secolo. Nel XIV secolo, re Edoardo III d'Inghilterra concesse a Sir Hugh de Lowther di fortificare il parco e venne quindi eretto in loco un motte e bailey. All'edificio venne poi aggiunta una torre nel corso del XVI secolo. Nel 1691, la fortezza originaria venne rimpiazzata da una residenza in stile giacobiano, residenza che però ebbe vita breve, dato che nel 1718 andò quasi completamente distrutta a causa di un devastante incendio. Quasi novant'anni dopo, nel 1806, il I conte di Lonsdale incaricò l'architetto Robert Smirke di realizzare una nuova residenza nello stile di un castello medievale che incorporasse le rovine dell'edificio preesistente. Per il giovane Smirke, si trattò del primo incarico importante della sua carriera. I lavori di costruzione della nuova residenza, che includeva al suo interno 260 stanze, durarono otto anni. Nel 1935 o 1936, la residenza venne chiusa al pubblico e requisita dall'esercito britannico che la utilizzò nel corso della seconda guerra mondiale. In seguito, dopo che nel 1957 James, VII conte Lonsdale, avev fatto rimuovere il tetto dell'edificio, il castello di Lowther cadde progressivamente in uno stato di rovina fino a quando non venne acquisito da una fondazione che operò un'opera di restauro costata 9 milioni di sterline che ne permise la riapertura al pubblico nel 2011, Architettura Esterni L'edificio è a tre piani e la facciata è adornata da finestre in stile Tudor. La residenza è circondata da giardini realizzati in varie epoche e che portano la firma di architetti quali Capability Brown, Colen Campbell e William Gilpin. La parte più antica dei giardini è rappresentata dallo Yew Avenue, il "viale dei tassi", risalente al XVII secolo, accanto al quale si trova un pineto del XIX secolo con cedri, cicute e conifere. Altri punti d'interesse sono il Rock Garden, un giardino fiorito con un laghetto, e l'Escapement Walk, dove si trova una casa per le vacanza realizzata nel 1897 in occasione del giubileo della regina Vittoria.

Loxford School

Loxford School, formerly Loxford School of Science and Technology, is a mixed all-through school with academy status in the Ilford area of the London Borough of Redbridge, England. The secondary school has more than 3000 students aged from 11 to 18 years, and a primary school is connected to it. The school is a part of the Loxford School Trust which consists of 6 other academies. History Criticism In February 2010, Loxford gained attention due to the antisemitic views of some of the school's Muslim students. A student whose name has been left undisclosed was probed by the police for creating a Facebook group in order for them and their friends to express their hatred of Jewish people. This Facebook group gained over 500 members in two weeks and discussions in the group included accounts of the students engaging in anti-semitic behaviour, including assault. Commenters to the Facebook group frequently mentioned jihad and used Quranic justifications for their beliefs. In May 2019, after a picture depicting children of the school praying outside circulated online, the school was criticised for not having faith spaces for the children to pray in. The school is in the London Borough of Redbridge, which has a large Muslim community. References External links School Website
Loxley House

Loxley House is a Georgian building situated off Ben Lane in the Wadsley area of Sheffield in South Yorkshire, England. It is a Grade Two Listed building. History The present building was built in 1826 but the first house on the site was constructed in 1795 by the Reverend Thomas Halliday the Unitarian minister for Norton. This original structure was an imposing building which stood at the head of a drive which led off Ben Lane. Halliday was something of a local entrepreneur who would later construct the Robin Hood Inn at Little Matlock in Loxley in 1804. In 1808 Halliday sold the house to Thomas Payne and it was the Payne family who completely rebuilt it as Loxley House in 1826. The new house was much more impressive in style than the previous building having three storeys and three wide set bays as well as striking Venetian windows. The house remained the property of the Payne family until 1895 with the last member of that family taking up residence in the 1860s. This was the eccentric Doctor Henry Payne who fell out with the local populace and vicar at the nearby Wadsley Parish Church over a right of way across Wadsley Common which was part of Dr. Payne's estate. So virulent was the dispute with the vicar that Payne said he would never go to church again and as a result was buried within the grounds of Loxley House without ceremony in an unmarked brick vault. In 1895 Alderman William Clegg bought Loxley House, Clegg was something of a local celebrity having played football for Sheffield Wednesday in the 1870s, making two appearances for England. Clegg was leader of the Sheffield City Council for many years and became Lord Mayor of Sheffield in 1898. The house had two more tenants after William Clegg left until World War I when two spinster nieces of Dr. Payne were living there. That was the last time that the house was used as a private residence. In 1919 the house was taken over by the Cripples Aid Association and later was used by the Sheffield Sea Cadet Corps as a base for many years. In 1996 the house was put up for sale and was bought by the property developers Campbell Homes who have turned it into luxury flats and apartments. References

La dispute avec le vicaire est si virulente que Payne déclare qu'il n'irait plus jamais à l'église et, par conséquent, est enterré dans l'enceinte de Loxley House sans cérémonie dans une tombe en briques anonyme . En 1895, l'échevin William Clegg achète Loxley House, Clegg est une sorte de célébrité locale ayant joué au football pour Sheffield dans les années 1870, faisant deux apparitions pour l'Angleterre .

Loxley Hall

Loxley Hall is an early-19th-century country house near Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, now occupied by a Staffordshire County Council special school for boys with challenging behaviour difficulties. It is a Grade II* listed building. An early manor house on the site was owned by the Ferrers family and from the 14th century following the marriage of the Ferrers heiress, by a branch of the Kynnersley family (Sneyd-Kynnersley from 1815). In the 18th century a substantial mansion was built on the site, the main entrance front to the south having eleven bays, the central three bays pedimented, and two storeys with dormers. The east wing was of five bays. Mary Kynnersley was born here in the 1700s. Thomas Kynnersley was her father. She married into European aristocracy becoming Baroness de Bode in the nobility of the Holy Roman empire. She lost a fortune in the French revolution and died in 1812 in Moscow. Alfred Tennyson wrote the Locksley Hall poems after a mansion of the same name in Staffordshire, former country house of Thomas Kynnersley. In the early 19th century the house was remodelled and enlarged. A third storey under a hipped roof was added and the east wing was extended to seven bays.

Loynton Moss

Loynton Moss is a nature reserve of the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust, near the village of Woodseaves, in Staffordshire, England. It is adjacent to the Shropshire Union Canal, as it runs from nearby Norbury to High Offley. Description The area of the reserve is 13 hectares (32 acres), and it is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest. There are walking trails, except in the mostly inaccessible areas of reedbed and wet woodland. There are mosquitoes in the wetter areas during the summer, which may deter visitors. Geology The particular landscape is a result of a process after the last ice age. A kettle hole was formed by dead ice left by retreating glaciers, which became a lake when the ice finally melted. The former lake is now an area of peaty, boggy land, known as a Moss. Environments There are dry wooded areas, where bluebells can be seen in the spring. Grassland, acquired by the Trust in 2000, is a large part of the reserve. It is former wetland, drained for agriculture in 1970. There are areas of reedbed, and wet woodland including an alder carr. Uncommon plants found here include marsh cinquefoil and cowbane. Moths, butterflies and many species of rare insects can be found in the wetland. Birds such as willow warbler and reed bunting are attracted by the particular insects in this habitat. Birch trees consume much water during the summer and can affect ground water levels of the wetland, so some have been felled in places. Ditches and land drains are monitored. References
