Seabank Power Station

Seabank Power Station is a 1,140 MW gas-fired power station at Hallen Marsh in Bristol, England. It is situated beside the A403 road and Severn Estuary, just north of Avonmouth and south of Severn Beach, close to the boundary with South Gloucestershire. It is next to the former Terra Nitrogen Severnside fertiliser works, which was closed by Growhow UK in January 2008. The £435 million plant is run as Seabank Power Ltd. The initial partners in the company were BG Group (former part of British Gas) and Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE), however in 2010 BG Group, as part of its reorganisation sold its 50% share of the plant to Cheung Kong Infrastructure Holdings Limited The company is now owned by Cheung Kong Infrastructure Holdings Limited, and SSE. It was built by Siemens Power Generation and initially opened in 2000. It was built in two parts, with Seabank 1 (755 MW) started in January 1996 and completed in March 2000. Seabank 2 (385 MW) was started in January 1999 and was completed in January 2001. The station has a number of step up transformers that allow connection to the National Grid high voltage electricity transmission system via the Seabank 400 kV GIS substation. The power plant provides enough electricity for approximately 1.6 million people. Seabank is a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) type power station that runs on natural gas. The gas is supplied to the station via the company's own 74-bar 42-inch (1,100 mm) pipeline that runs from a gas compressor station near Abson in Pucklechurch, Bristol through South Gloucestershire to the station. The station can also utilise the local gas connection, that was used to connect the previous Seabank naptha/gas cracking station that occupied the site prior to the power station. The section first built consists of two Siemens V94.3A gas turbines with two heat recovery steam generators (HRSG) and a steam turbine. The next built section consists of one V94.3A gas turbine, an HRSG and a steam turbine. It has a 55% thermal efficiency. The HRSGs were built by Standard Fasel Lentjes (known as SFL and now owned by NEM Energy) and Stork Power Services, both Dutch companies.

Seacroft Hospital

Seacroft Hospital is a hospital located on York Road in the area of Seacroft, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England and is operated by the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. It is home to the Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease and acts as one of Leeds' three community diagnostic centres, designed to offer "a broad range of diagnostic tests closer to patients' homes". History A decision was made in 1893 to establish a facility to care for people with infectious diseases. A tented hospital was created at the Seacroft Estate, which had been the location of the former Manston Hall. The present facility was built in 1904: there were beds for 482 patients when it first opened. The clock tower, which also serves as a water tower holding 28,000 gallons of water, was built at the same time; it is a Grade II listed building. The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948. By 2008, many of the hospital buildings were in a poor state of repair and the health authority considered selling off the older parts of the hospital for redevelopment. The hospital was noted in 2009 for its unique and positive use of the Nintendo video game Wii Fit to assist patients with prosthetic limbs in learning how to use them effectively. Part of the site was sold to the Homes and Communities Agency in 2014 for around £6 million. In 2015 the developers Keepmoat and Strata announced their plans to build about 700 homes there. Developments In September 2002 a state of the art catering unit was built on the site, The Receipt And Distribution Unit, RADU. It was opened by TV Celebrity chef Brian Turner. It provides over 3,000 patients meals twice daily 365 days a year, to all the main hospitals in the Leeds area: these are supplemented by any special dietary needs plus daily bread and milk. In October 2002 Loyd Grossman and a team of leading chefs designed "leading chef" dishes for the menu. The Seacroft Specialist Rehabilitation Centre opened in June 2006. In June 2024, construction work on the Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease was initiated in the hospital grounds: rugby player Rob Burrow had a hand in its design and creation. The centre opened in November 2025. See also List of hospitals in England Listed buildings in Seacroft and Killingbeck References External links Official Website NHS Direct Seacroft Hospital
Seaford Museum

The Seaford Museum and Heritage Society is a local history museum located at the Martello Tower in East Sussex, England. It was established in 1979 and contains objects, archives and displays relating to the history of the local area. The museum reopened in 2026. The Museum Seaford Museum is housed in Tower number 74 and is situated on the Esplanade in Seaford, East Sussex. The Tower is the most westerly of a line of defensive fortifications built along the Kent and Sussex coast during the Napoleonic Wars. The Tower is a round two-storey structure surrounded by a dry, brick-lined moat. It was constructed between 1806 and 1810. The War Department sold it in 1880. During the next 90 years it passed through a number of hands and was used for various commercial purposes. During the 1930s the moat floor was used as a roller skating rink while the tower was used as a cafeteria. In 1976 the Tower was acquired by Lewes District Council and the Museum was installed there in 1979. The Museum has 5,000 square feet (500 m2) of floorspace (including a covered section of the moat) which is used for displays, a visitor centre, an archive and a museum shop. From November to March it is open on Saturday and Sunday afternoons and Bank Holidays only. During the rest of the year it is additionally open on Sunday mornings and Wednesdays. Public access to the document archive is available, on a supervised basis, once per month. The museum is run as a registered charity by the Seaford Museum and Heritage Society and has a large and eclectic collection of artifacts including large collections of maritime and domestic items. Improvements to the museum in 2018 were made to allow step free access to the main exhibition areas. The museum will reopen in 2026 after a renovation. Role in the community The Museum acts as a centre for a number of heritage and community activities. The Round Table, the local model railway club and various other organisations hold events there. The Museum is also used as a venue for public lectures and a start point for guided tours to places in the locality. The Museum also provides a talk and short video and for schools on the 1986 successful sea defence scheme involving a controversial beach reclamation which has prevented breaches of the sea wall and flooding of the adjacent areas ever since.

Seaforth Dock

Seaforth Dock (also known as the Royal Seaforth Dock) is a purpose-built dock and container terminal, on the River Mersey, England, at Seaforth, to the north of Liverpool. As part of the Port of Liverpool and Liverpool Freeport, it is operated by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company. Situated at the northern end of the dock system, it is connected to Gladstone Dock to the south, which via its lock entrance provides maritime access to Seaforth Dock from the river. History Despite planning permission having been obtained almost sixty years previously, work commenced during the 1960s on Liverpool's largest dock facility. In part the work was intended to reconstruct or compensate for damage suffered during World War II. The dock was the largest built in the United Kingdom for some time, with 10,000 ft (3,000 m) of quay and a depth of 50 ft (15 m) and world's largest lock gates. Opened in 1971, the site consists of about 500 acres (2.0 km2), of which 85 acres (34 ha) is water. Technological changes, such as containerization, caused the loss of numerous jobs on the docks. In the 21st century, the dock handles mainly containers, oils, timber, fruit and vegetables, grain and animal feed. The dock became a free port in 1984. A fruit and vegetable terminal opened at the dock in 2008. The terminal primarily received produce from Spain. However, this facility closed in 2013. Wind turbines In 1999, Peel Energy installed six Vestas V44-600 kW wind turbines along the river wall for a total nameplate capacity of 3.6MW. Rail connection Seaforth Dock is served by one rail line, the Canada Dock branch line. The Olive Mount rail chord at Edge Hill junction was re-opened early 2009 to increase the throughput of the service to Seaforth Dock, giving direct access for freight from the Port of Liverpool to the West Coast Main Line. In May 2016 it was announced that the line's final section into the dock estate would be upgraded to double track from single track to increase capacity to the port. Combined with improved signalling at Earlestown, the improvements will enable up to 48 trains a day to enter the port. Work on the line is expected to be completed by 2019. Liverpool2 Liverpool2 is a Post-Panamax container terminal extension which opened in November 2016 as an expansion to Seaforth dock.

Seaham Hall

Seaham Hall ist ein Landhaus in Seaham im englischen County Durham. Es gehörte einst George Vane-Tempest, 5. Marquess of Londonderry, auch wenn dieser den größten Teil seines Lebens in Plas Machynlleth, dem Haus seiner zweiten Gattin in Montgomeryshire, verbrachte. Heute ist das Haus ein Wellnesshotel. Geschichte Seaham Hall war eine von vielen Immobilien, die Charles William Vane, 3. Marquess of Londonderry, durch seine zweite Heirat mit Lady Frances Anne Vane-Tempest erwarb. Sie war eine der größten Landerbinnen ihrer Zeit. Sie erbte Ländereien mit einer Fläche von fast 260 km². Der Titel des Viscount Seaham wurde als Höflichkeitstitel für den ältesten Sohn aus dieser Ehe geschaffen, der nach dem Tod seines Vaters der nächste Earl Vane wurde. Aber als der 4. Marquess of Londonderry kinderlos starb, erbte Earl Vane die Londonderry-Titel und der älteste Sohn übernahm den Höflichkeitstitel eines Viscount Castlereagh. Die Familie verbrachte nicht viel Zeit in diesem Haus, sondern nutzte das repräsentativere Mount Stewart als Wohnung. Im Jahre 1815 heiratete der Dichter Lord Byron die Anne Isabella Milbanke in Seaham Hall. Der Politiker Benjamin Disraeli besuchte Seaham Hall 1861. Die Londonderrys entwickelten eines ihrer Anwesen in County Durham zur heutigen Hafenstadt Seaham. Diese Ansiedlung sollte mit dem nahegelegenen Sunderland konkurrieren. Im Ersten Weltkrieg wurde das Haus zu einem Krankenhaus, das erst 1978 geschlossen wurde. In den 1980er- und 1990er-Jahren wurde es zunächst in ein Hotel, dann in ein Pflegeheim und schließlich in ein Wellnesshotel umgewandelt. 1984 kaufte die Familie Jalal (Mr Kusia Jalal) aus Sunderland das Haus und arbeitete daran, das verfallene Gebäude neu aufzubauen, zu renovieren und zu altem Glanz zurückzubringen. Die Vision, der Wille und der Unternehmergeist von Kusia Jalal, indem er örtliche, fachkundige Handwerker einsetzte, um eine Einrichtung zu entwickeln, die größtenteils verloren war, war der Schlüssel zum Überleben des Hauses. Es wurde 1985 als Seaham Hall Hotel eröffnet und blieb fast sechs Jahre lang in den Händen der englisch-arabischen Familie Jalal, wodurch die Leute in Seaham die Chance hatten, wieder das alte Haus und Anwesen zu erleben. 1991 verkaufte die Familie Jalal das Hotel an Dr. Mullier, einen ortsansässigen Arzt, dem auch das Tara House, ein privates Altenheim, gehörte. Auch Seaham Hall wurde in ein Heim für alte Menschen umgewandelt, allerdings ein Pflegeheim. Weblinks und Quellen Website von Seaham Hall Hotel and Spa Alte Fotos von Seaham Hall
Seaham Hall

Seaham Hall is an English country house, now run as a spa hotel, in County Durham. History Seaham Hall was built in the 1790s by Sir Ralph Milbanke, 6th Baronet. In 1815 the poet Lord Byron married Anne Isabella Milbanke at Seaham Hall. The fruit of their marriage was Ada Lovelace, the mathematician and pioneer of computing. Londonderry Seaham Hall was one of the many properties acquired by Charles Vane, 3rd Marquess of Londonderry, through his second marriage to Lady Frances Vane-Tempest in 1819. She was one of the greatest heiresses of the time. She stood to inherit nearly 65,000 acres (260 km2). They purchased the Seaham estate in 1821 from Sir Ralph for £63,000, and developed it into what is now the modern harbour town of Seaham. This town was designed to rival nearby Sunderland. The title Viscount Seaham was created as a courtesy title for the eldest son of the marriage, who became Earl Vane on his father's death; however, when the 4th Marquess died childless, Earl Vane inherited the Londonderry titles and his eldest son took the courtesy title Viscount Castlereagh. However, for much of his life the 5th Marquess lived at Plas Machynlleth, his wife's home in Montgomeryshire. The family did not spend much time at Seaham but used their Irish house - Mount Stewart, which was more impressive. Benjamin Disraeli visited Seaham Hall in 1861. Following the death of the 6th Marquess in 1915, his son, the 7th Marquess, put the hall at the disposal of the authorities to use as a hospital during the Great War, and it subsequently continued in use as a general hospital before closing in 1978. Modern use The building during the 1980s and 1990s has been redeveloped as a hotel, a nursing home and finally a luxury five-star hotel and spa. In 1984, it was acquired by the Jalal family of Sunderland, who worked at rebuilding, renovating and returning the deteriorated building to its former glory. It was opened in 1985 as the Seaham Hall Hotel and remained in the hands of the Jalal family for nearly six years. In 1991, it was sold by the Jalal family to Dr Mohinder Singh Mullea, a local doctor who also owned Tara House, an old people's residential home, and was officially converted to an old people’s home in 1991. In June 1997, Seaham Hall was purchased by a local businessman, Tom Maxfield, and his wife Jocelyn. Maxfield described the condition of the building as "disgustingly awful". The rundown, derelict building was transformed into the 5-star luxury hotel and spa and became part of the Tom's Company group of hotels. In 2008 Seaham Hall was sold to Von Essen. After Von Essen entered into receivership the business was sold to a private investor.

Seaham High School

Seaham High School (formerly Seaham School of Technology) is a coeducational secondary school located in Seaham, County Durham, England, for pupils aged 11–16. It is the only secondary school in the area, acting as a hub for most year 6 children leaving the local primary schools. The school is part of the Eden Learning Trust. History Seaham School of Technology opened in 1964 on a site in Burnhall Drive in Seaham. It was a comprehensive school that later incorporated two other secondary schools: Seaham Northlea (1975; until 1962, this had been known as Seaham Harbour Girls Grammar School) and Seaham Camden Square (1979). Seaham Grammar Technical School opened in 1964, which became Seaham Northlea Comprehensive around 1971. 21st century In 2007, the local Seaham Star newspaper reported that the school was to be rebuilt on a field at the back of the Milton Close area of Deneside. Pupils and parents were invited into the school to voice their opinion on plans for the new school. Its cost was estimated at £16,000,000 and was scheduled for construction in 2013. Later, planning permission for a new school building was granted for a site formerly occupied by Seaham Colliery (locally known as "The Knack"). However, in 2010, the Building Schools for the Future plan was scrapped by the new Conservative coalition government. In 2010 the school was temporarily placed under 'special measures' after Ofsted identified several critical failures, including poor examination results and site security issues. The school was removed from special measures in late 2010 after Ofsted noted an improvement in performance. Plans to rebuild the school were resurrected in August 2014. In September 2014, it was reported that the school building had structural problems and was being held up with 60 tonnes of steel. The rebuilding of the school was one of 12 schemes submitted to Durham County Council in late 2014. In September 2016, the school moved to a new £14 million building on Station Road in the town, and was renamed Seaham High School. The previous school was to be demolished and the site used for housing. In May 2017, Ofsted visited the school and classed it as 'Good'. Previously a community school administered by Durham County Council, in September 2020 Seaham High School converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the Eden Learning Trust. Further education The school currently does not have its own sixth form; most students leaving the school go to East Durham College, Sunderland College or Durham Sixth Form Centre.

SS Great Britain

SS Great Britain bio je prvi prekooceanski brod sa željeznim trupom i propelerom koji je bio u stanju preploviti ocean. Porinut je godine 1843. kada je bio najveće plovilo na svijetu. Ispočetka je mogao prevesti 120 putnika prve klase (26 njih u jednokrevetnim kabinama) te 132 putnika druge klase i 130 članova posade. Kada mu je nadograđena još jedna paluba, broj putnika se popeo na 730. Jedan od njegovih projektanata bio je i slavni inženjer Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Ispočetka zamišljen za prijevoz preko Atlantskog oceana, SS Great Britain je najveću slavu stekao održavajući redovni prijevoz između Velike Britanije i Australije. Za vrijeme krimskog rata služio je za prijevoz britanskih trupa, isto kao i za vrijeme sepojskog ustanka u Indiji. Godine 1882. je prenamijenjen u teretni brod za prijevoz ugljena. Godine 1886. je na putovanju za Falklande izbio veliki požar, i pri dolasku u luku se ispostavilo da se šteta ne može popraviti. Sve do 1930-ih je brod služio kao skladište ugljena, kada je konačno napušten. 1970-ih je, zahvaljujući donaciji Sir Jacka Haywarda, izvedena skupa i komplicirana operacija prijevoza od Falklanda u Bristol, gdje je restauriran i pretvoren u muzejski brod.

SS Great Britain

SS Great Britain – pierwszy statek o kadłubie z żelaza i napędzany śrubą, który pływał na trasach transatlantyckich pomiędzy Bristolem a Nowym Jorkiem. Zwodowany w 1843 roku został okrzyknięty "Największym eksperymentem od czasu Genesis". Został zaprojektowany przez brytyjskiego inżyniera Isambarda Kingdoma Brunela. Statek posiadał szereg innowacyjnych rozwiązań technicznych jak: żelazny kadłub, napęd śrubą zamiast kół łopatkowych czy największy pod względem mocy silnik parowy - 1000 KM. W 1852 roku po wycofaniu ze służby jako liniowiec był używany (po modernizacji) jako kliper wożący emigrantów do Australii. W 1882 został zaadaptowany jako statek towarowy pływający do obu Ameryk. W 1886 statek uszkodzony przez sztorm nieopodal przylądka Horn został skierowany przez jego kapitana Henry'ego Stapa na Falklandy. Decyzją właścicieli statek został przekazany Falkland Islands Company. Później statek służył m.in. jako pływający magazyn do roku 1933. W roku 1970 statek wyruszył w swój ostatni rejs przez Atlantyk na gigantycznym pontonie. Poddany został remontowi i 13 kwietnia 1970 roku ponownie zwodowany w Bristolu. Statek wrócił po 127 latach do tego samego doku, w którym został zbudowany. Obecnie, po gruntownej odbudowie, statek stoi w suchym doku i pełni funkcję muzeum. Można w nim zobaczyć m.in. maszynownie, kuchnie, ładownie czy kajuty pasażerów. Dzięki ustawieniu statku w suchym doku można także zejść pod statek. Trzymiesięczną podróż do Australii na pokładzie tego statku opisał w swoich wspomnieniach Seweryn Korzeliński.

СС Грејт Бритен

Пароброд Грејт Бритен (енглески Steam Ship Great Britain или S.S. Great Britain) био је први брод са гвозденим трупом и пропелером који је био у стању да преплови океан. Поринут је године 1843. када је био највеће пловило на свету. Испочетка је могао да преведе 120 путника прве класе (26 њих у једнокреветним кабинама), 132 путника друге класе и 130 чланова посаде. Када му је надограђена још једна палуба, број путника се попео на 730. Историја Један од његових пројектаната био је и славни британски инжењер Ајзенбард Кингдом Брунел. Испочетка замишљен за превоз преко Атлантског океана, СС Грејт Бритен је највећу славу стекао одржавајући редован превоз између Велике Британије и Аустралије. За време кримског рата служио је за превоз британских трупа, исто као и за време сепојског устанка у Индији. Године 1882. је пренамењен у теретни брод за превоз угља. Године 1886. је на путовању за Фокланде избио велики пожар, и при доласку у луку се испоставило да се штета не може поправити. Све до 1930-их је брод служио као складиште угља, када је коначно напуштен. 1970-их је, захваљујући донацији Сер Џека Хауарда, изведена скупа и компликованаа операција превоза од Фокланда у Бристол, где је брод рестауриран и претворен у музејски брод.
