Hawsker railway station

Hawsker was a railway station on the Scarborough & Whitby Railway. It opened on 16 July 1885, and served the villages of High Hawsker, Low Hawsker and Stainsacre. Hawsker was a small intermediate stop and its ticket sales reflected this; it sold only 8,982 tickets in 1922. The Scarborough & Whitby railway was a victim of the Beeching cuts and all freight traffic to Hawsker was curtailed by 10 August 1964 and the station closed to passengers on 8 March 1965. The track from Whitby was left in situ until 1973 pending potash traffic which never materialised. The trackbed is now used by the Cinder Track, used by walker, cyclists and horse-riders between Whitby and Scarborough. The road overbridge immediately south of the station was removed in the 1990s and replaced with a dual pelican crossing. The station is now (2007) the headquarters of Trailways Cycle Hire and has old railway carriages used as accommodation on site. In the 2010s a brick wing (in a style similar to the rest of the building) was added to the station house's southeast side. References Bibliography Butt, R.V.J. (1995).

Hawthorn Hall

Hawthorn Hall is a former country house in Hall Road, Wilmslow, Cheshire, England. It originated in about 1610 as a timber-framed yeoman house for John Chavman of mnc. It was improved and encased in brick for John Leigh in 1698. Its use changed in the 19th century, and in 1835 it opened as a homeless shelter school. During the 1960s the house served as a private residence. The building has since been used as offices. It is constructed in plum-coloured brick, with a Kerridge stone-slate roof, a stone ridge, and three brick chimneys. Parts of the timber-framing can still be seen in the roof gables, and in an internal wall. The plan consists of a long rectangle. The house is in 2½ storeys, and has a near-symmetrical north front. There are four gables with bargeboards and mace finials. Each gable contains a pair of wooden mullioned and transomed windows. In the centre is a doorway, flanked by plain pilasters, and surmounted by a segmental hood framing a cartouche containing the date 1698. At the top of the hall, above the door, is a small balustrade, behind which is a half-glazed lantern with a cupola and a weathervane. The south front is similar to the north front, although the door is not central. This door is flanked by fluted pilasters, and surmounted by a plaque with a lion rampant. The east front has two gables. The architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner comments that the house is "good to look at, though conservative for its date". The house, together with parts of the garden walls, is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.

Haxted Watermill

Haxted Watermill is a much-restored Grade II listed watermill in Surrey, England, close to the border with Kent, and is powered by the River Eden. History The mill was first mentioned in the will of Sir Reginald de Cobham in 1361. The western half of the current building, constructed on the foundations of the 14th Century mill, dates to about 1680 and the eastern half dates to 1797. The mill was last used to grind flour in 1919 but worked until 1945, grinding meal for local farmers. The last miller was Thomas Stanford whose family had operated the mill for the previous two centuries. Purchased by Mr Woodrow in 1949, he spent the next twenty years restoring the machinery to working order. The mill was opened as a museum of water milling and water pumping in 1966. In recent years it has operated as a bar and brasserie but is now closed. In 2016, planning permission was granted to site three shepherd huts on the adjoining site as guest accommodation for visitors to the mill. Machinery The current overshot waterwheel has a diameter of 10 feet (3.0 m) and a width of 9 feet (2.7 m). It was installed in about 1830, but by 1972 the 72 iron buckets had failed and were replaced by fibreglass replicas. The bearing-stone for an earlier, undershot waterwheel was found during renovation and this dates to the fourteenth century. In full working order the current wheel produced about 11 horsepower (8.2 kW), rotating at 8 r.p.m. and driving three pairs of millstones, through gearing, at 120 r.p.m. The pit wheel and wallower are of the same date as the waterwheel, but the great spur wheel, made of oak with applewood teeth, has been dated to 1680. The mill originally operated three pairs of French burr millstones. At some stage a fourth pair was added, driven from a shaft off the crown wheel, but this was too much for the machinery and was disconnected. References Surrey portal
Hay Hall, Birmingham

Hay Hall is a former 15th century hall located at Tyseley, in Birmingham, West Midlands, England. The extensive Hay Hall estate was situated between the Coventry and Warwick roads and included an area now known as Hay Mills, which was the site of a water mill. In the 16th century the timber-framed building was encased in brick. Originally a sub manor of the Este family, the building form comprised a central open hall with cross-wings at either end. There are no traces of the original moat in the area, with the modern surroundings currently developed as factories and works, known as Hay Hall Business Park. It was listed as Grade II in 1952. History A moated house or manor was first founded at the site in about 1275 by the De La Haye family and rebuilt in 1430. Hay Hall passed on to the Este family in 1423, when the heiress Marian De La Haye married Thomas Este. They are commemorated in St. Edburgha's Church at Yardley by a wall sculpture depicting them. The Este family owned and occupied Hay Hall until the late seventeenth century, after which the property changed hands frequently and much of the land was sold to canal and railway companies. In 1917 the Patented Butted Tube Company purchased Hay Hall and the remaining 12 acres of land. The estate was developed into new tube works and factories but Hay Hall was saved from demolition. The last person to actually reside at Hay Hall was apparently a Mrs Shelley who was employed as a housekeeper by the then rebranded Tube Investments Company, and was known to be living in the Hall up until 1939. In 1948 the building was fully restored and was in use as private offices for the Reynolds Tube Company Limited until 2007, when they moved to nearby Shaftmoor Lane. Description The central part of the house features an arch-braced collar-beam roof truss, typical of an open hall of the 14th or 15th century. Notable external features include exposed timber-framing on the south-eastern end wall, and a two-storied timbered porch containing a pointed arch. On the northeastern side of the building a solar wing was either originally encased in diaper-patterned brickwork, or the wing was a later addition in the 16th century. Its structure is formed in three bays divided by open roof trusses, and which were later enclosed in a dormered attic. It also features stone-mullioned windows. Inside the building Tudor wall painting and a fragment of stained glass have survived. In 1790 it was partly altered with the addition of a new five-gabled front to the southwestern side. A roof fire in 1810 has left no obvious signs of fire damage to the original timbers. The building was further refurbished and altered in 1948. References
Haybridge High School

Haybridge High School and Sixth Form is an 11–18 mixed academy school with approximately 1,250 students (420 in the sixth form) in Hagley, Stourbridge, England, United Kingdom, serving North West Worcestershire, the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley, and South Staffordshire. The school is a Technology College, with the two additional specialisms of Applied Learning and Sports. It is also a Training School and a Leading Edge School. History The school was built on a greenfield site and opened in 1976 with approximately 10 students. At the beginning of the 2004–2005 school term Haybridge (at the time a 13–18 high school) merged with Hagley Middle School (a 9–13 middle school) and became an 11–18 secondary school, as part of the move across the local region from a three- to two-tier system. Hagley Middle School was served by a number of smaller first schools; these first schools have now been made primary schools to serve Haybridge. Initially the one high school was still located on two sites, until September 2007 when both halves of Haybridge moved to the one campus on Brake Lane. To accommodate the extra students an expansion of the existing buildings was undertaken. Present day An Ofsted report of December 2008 awarded the school a Grade 1 (outstanding in all aspects), stating that the school is nationally among the top 10%. The school has consistently been one of the highest performing state schools in Worcestershire at GCSE age (2004 data). Haybridge Academy is part of a Worcestershire organisation called ContinU, a trust that creates more courses for students attending secondary and high schools in the Wyre Forest and Hagley area. Haybridge is currently working with: Baxter College, Business and Enterprise The Bewdley School Hagley RC High School King Charles I School Stourminster and Blakebrook Special Needs Schools Stourport High School Wolverley CE Secondary School In August, Haybridge High School achieved 85% of students gaining 5+ A* to C GCSE grades including Maths and English. In 2010, the government introduced the English Baccalaureate. Haybridge High School achieved 22% of students gaining the English baccalaureate. Adding to these great successes Haybridge High School in 2014 received a visit from Sir Ian McKellen, as well as 5 consistent years of 70% of all pupils receiving at least one 7,8 or 9 Awards Healthy Schools. The ICT Mark. Eco School. NACE award for work with gifted and talented students. The school is a specialist school with technology status, and vocational and sport as second specialisms.

Bloomsbury Publishing

Bloomsbury Publishing es una casa editorial independiente, asentada en Londres en el Reino Unido, conocida por sus novelas literarias. Fue nombrada "editorial del año" en 1999 y 2000. El crecimiento de Bloomsbury durante los últimos años se ha debido principalmente a la serie de novelas de Harry Potter, de la escritora J. K. Rowling. La empresa fue fundada en el año 1986, por Nigel Newton, que anteriormente había sido empleado de otras empresas de la industria editorial. Fue puesta a flote como una empresa pública certificada en el año 1995, encumbrando 5,5 millones de libras esterlinas, capital que fue usado para financiar la extensión de la empresa en libros de tapa blandas y en libros infantiles. Una emisión gratuita de acciones en partes en 1998 hizo que la empresa se encumbrara a un capital de 6,1 millones de libras netos, que fueron usados para expandir la empresa, en particular para comprar sucursales estadounidenses. En 2000, Bloomsbury adquirió A&C Black Plc, y en 2002 adquirió Whitakers Almanack. Esta fue seguida de otras adquisiciones menores. En 2007, Bloomsbury publicó Bloomsbury 21, una serie de publicaciones de 21 de sus libros más populares, con la excusa de celebrar su 21 aniversario. El 15 de mayo de 2023, el portal web The Verge denunció que la editorial uso inteligencia artificial para generar la portada de la edición británica de la novela Casa de tierra y sangre de la escritora Sarah J.

Bloomsbury Publishing plc (LSE : BMY) est un groupe éditorial britannique indépendant. Il publie des romans et des essais. Son siège se trouve dans le quartier de Camden à Londres, et d'autres bureaux d'édition sont implantés dans les villes de New York, New Delhi et Sydney. La société est inscrite au FTSE SmallCap Index (en). La croissance de la maison d'édition, grâce à la publication de la série Harry Potter de J. K. Rowling à partir de la fin de l'année 1997, connaît une augmentation décisive. Le monde littéraire britannique lui décerne le prix d'éditeur de l'année en 1999 et 2000, et la série connaît un succès mondial. Elle a également été récompensée en 2010 par le prix Booker pour La Question Finkler de Howard Jacobson. Histoire La société a été fondée en 1986 par Nigel Newton, qui avait déjà travaillé dans d’autres maisons d’éditions auparavant. Elle a pris son essor en 1995 dépassant le seuil des 5,5 millions de £, ce qui leur a permis d‘investir dans le livre de poche et la littérature jeunesse et ainsi de se développer. La mise en place d'un droit préférentiel de souscription en 1998 a rapporté à la société 6,1 millions de £ supplémentaires qui ont également été réinvestis en particulier pour créer une branche américaine de la société et assurer ainsi son expansion. Bloomsbury USA a donc été fondé en 1998, puis en 2002, cette maison lance une marque de livres pour les jeunes lecteurs et en 2005, Bloomsbury achète Walker and Company : une petite société d’édition de non-fiction. Elle continue sur sa lancée avec le rachat en 2000 de A & C Black, de Whitaker's Almanack en 2002. En 2007, la maison d’édition réimprime en série 21 de ses plus célèbres ouvrages pour célébrer son 21e anniversaire Bloomsbury 21. En 2008, Bloomsbury s’implante à Doha, au Qatar, en partenariat avec Qatar Foundation. La nouvelle maison d’édition, dénommée Bloomsbury Qatar Foundation Publishing, produit principalement de la littérature anglaise et arabe avec des traductions d’une langue à l’autre. Depuis septembre 2008, Bloomsbury travaille en collaboration avec Waterstones pour distribuer leurs propres e-books, à l’exception de la série Harry Potter qui ne sont pas compris dans ce projet.
