Longford Hall, Shropshire

Longford Hall är en stor herrgård i Longford, en by i Shropshire, England nära staden Newport, uppförd 1794 - 1797 för Ralph Leeke som var politisk agent för ostindiska kompaniet, ritad av Joseph Bonomi, som hade samarbetat med Robert och James Adam. Hallen är klass II* listad med English Heritage och används numera som internatskola för pojkar. Byggnadshistorik Longford Hall byggdes 1275 av Adam de Brompton och ägdes av Earl of Shrewsbury. I april 1644 intogs det av rojalister och revs därefter. Den nuvarande byggnaden är placerad ovanpå en låg byggnad med utsikt ser över jordbruksmark mot Lilleshall-monumentet som är omgivet av gravplatser. Som med många sådana byggnader är de första 30 meterna framför hallen välskött gräs, kantad av en ha-ha som hindrade djur från att komma in. Det finns en liten serie trädgårdar med bland annat en "quad". Bakom hallen finns ett antal byggnader runt ett centralt torg med ett duvslag som en gång utgjorde gårdens ekonomidel. Dessa byggnader renoverades och omvandlades varsamt till bostäder mellan 2001 och 2004. Den centrala duvslaget är runt och utgör en ovanlig bostad. Hallen och markerna ägs för närvarande av Haberdashers’ Adams School och används av dem som skolans elevhem och idrottsplatser. En del mark såldes av 2000 för byggnation av privatbostäder – nu bostadsområdet "Longford Park". För att ta sig mellan skolan och hallen åker man ungefär en mile på Longford Road. Longford Lake Bortanför spelplanerna, cirka 500 meter, ligger Longford Lake. Denna stora konstgjorda damm används för privat fiske av skolan och inrymmer en mängd olika fiskarter, som till exempel karp. Kända privatboende Den förste markisen av Abergavenny (1826-1915), vars mor Caroline var en dotter till Ralph Leeke, föddes här. Herrgården hyrdes från 1894 av affärsmannen och konservative politikern Edward Brocklehurst Fielden (1857-1942) innan han köpte och flyttade till Condover Hall.

Longhill High School

Longhill High School is a co-educational secondary school for 11 to 16 year-olds, which is located in Rottingdean, Brighton and Hove, East Sussex. The school grounds are served by Brighton & Hove bus routes 2, 22, 72, 72A and 76, 76A. History The school was officially opened in 1964, although took its first intake in 1963. The school originally had six houses named after castles in Sussex: Arundel, Bramber, Chichester, Hastings, Lewes and Pevensey. On 16 September 2010, officially it opened its new block, named "Vaughan Block" after one of the longest-serving teachers, after a campaign on the social networking site Facebook. On the hottest day thus far in 2016, several dozen male pupils were excluded from lessons due to wearing school PE shorts instead of trousers. The head teacher said, “Students have access to water in order to keep themselves hydrated" and stated that only around 2 per cent of pupils were involved. Over the next few days, more than a dozen male pupils attended school wearing school uniform skirts instead as a protest, which they were permitted to do after initially being told to remove them. Parents said that the protest should encourage the school to consider changing its uniform policy. In 2018 the school implemented a new house system named after local landmarks: Brighton Dome, Brighton Lanes, Brighton Pavilion and Brighton Pier. It also changed its motto to “Aspiration, Determination, Success”. Initiatives and projects Longhill High School is involved in projects. Shortlisted for Learning through Landscapes' Fruit-ful Schools project. Pupils are part of the Young Gifted and Talented Programme. Pupils are part of the Aim Higher scheme.

Longleat Woods

Longleat Woods (grid reference ST795435) is a 249.9 hectare (617.4 acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest south of Frome in Somerset, notified in 1972. This site includes the Ashen Copse Nature Conservation Review site. This site is a large, ancient, semi-natural, broadleaved woodland with a predominantly high forest structure which is unusual in South West Britain. Over the majority of the site, where soils are poorly drained but not waterlogged, the major canopy-forming tree is pedunculate oak (Quercus robur), with ash (Fraxinus excelsior) being locally common and distributed throughout. Hazel (Corylus avellana) is the commonest shrub and occurs throughout. Many plant species normally found only in ancient woodlands occur, including broad-leaved helleborine (Epipactis helleborine) and wood small-reed (Calamagrostis epigejos). One of the largest plantations of coast redwoods (sequoia sempervirens) in Britain is also located here, mostly within the grounds of Center Parcs Longleat. These grounds are also home to the U.K.'s tallest giant redwood (sequoiadendron giganteum). The breeding bird community includes woodcock (Scolopax rusticola), tree pipit (Anthus trivialis), wood warbler (Phylloscopus sibilatrix), common redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus), common buzzard (Buteo buteo), tawny owl (Strix aluco), greater spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major), lesser spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos minor) and European green woodpecker (Picus viridis). The breeding invertebrates include white admiral (Ladoga camilla), silver-washed fritillary (Argynnis paphia) and small pearl-bordered fritillary (Boloria selene) butterflies and hornets (Vespa crabro).

Longmead Stadium

The Longmead Stadium is an association football stadium in Tonbridge, Kent, England. It is home to Tonbridge Angels, who currently compete in the National League South. History The Longmead Stadium was built in 1980 by Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council after they had decided to redevelop Tonbridge Angels' Angel Ground in 1977 into a shopping centre. Tonbridge Angels were against the plans to evict them and demolish the Angel Ground and so took out a legal challenge against the plans. Three years later, the High Court ruled in favour of the council but after negotiations, the Council offered the club the Longmead Stadium as compensation. One of the stands at the Longmead Stadium was named "The Jack Maddams Stand" after a former Tonbridge Angels striker who had died. In 2008, the Longmead Stadium hosted a charity match between an Alan Rodgers select XI and an All stars team that was captained by former Tottenham Hotspur player, Gary Stevens as well as Andy Townsend and Jason Cundy. Outside football The Longmead Stadium was also used as the location of a temporary office for the Tunbridge Wells branch of the charity, Headway UK after they were obliged to move from their old location at Pembury Hospital due to redevelopment of the hospital. In April 2012, the Longmead Stadium hosted a beer festival intending to show a number of real ales from areas around clubs in the Conference South. It also hosts the West Kent Garden and Leisure show. The Longmead Stadium also hosts the annual Tonbridge fireworks displays to commemorate Guy Fawkes Night. References
Longridge Towers School

Longridge Towers School is a non-selective co-educational private day school with some boarding provision in the parish of Horncliffe (formerly Longridge) near Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, England, for children between the ages of three and eighteen. School history The main house was built during the 1870s and was once a hotel and military barracks. In 1949 it became an Ursuline convent school and remained so until 1983 when the order left Northumberland. It was then sold to a charitable trust and named Longridge Towers School. It now has some two hundred and fifty pupils. Most children are day pupils, with a minority of boarding pupils, including international students. In April 2021, a teacher at the school, Richard Glenn, was sacked from his role as head of sixth form and banned from teaching throughout the country after becoming drunk, threatening and taking pupils to a strip club during a school trip to San José, Costa Rica in July 2019. Building history The Longridge estate was acquired, through his marriage, by Hubert Jerningham, who from 1881 to 1885 had been a Liberal Member of Parliament for Berwick-upon-Tweed. He was thereafter colonial secretary of the British Honduras (Belize) (1887–1889), colonial secretary (1889–1893) and lieutenant-governor of Mauritius (1892–1893), and governor of Trinidad and Tobago (1897–1900). The principal building, erected as his stately home, at great cost, incorporated the very latest innovations including a hydraulic lift and gas lighting to all parts of the main house. The portico is said to have been built for a visit of the Prince of Wales to make sure he did not get wet when alighting from his coach. When it was completed it was one of the largest private houses in the north of Northumberland, and Jerningham lived there until his death in 1914. Lady Jerningham (d. 1902) had been Annie, daughter of E. Liddell, of Benton Park, and widow of C. T. Mather of Longridge, and her statue sits on the Elizabethan town walls in Berwick-upon-Tweed looking towards the distant school. The building was afterwards a hotel, until it became a convent school. Inspections Boarding provision at the school was inspected by Ofsted in 2009. At that date there were 24 pupils in the boarding accommodation. The provision received a judgement of 'satisfactory'. The school was inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate in 2017. At that time there were 288 day pupils and 30 boarding pupils. Academic and other achievements were judged 'good', and pupils' personal development was judged 'excellent'. Notable alumni Oscar Onley, cyclist. Guy Learmonth, runner.

Cadbury

Cadbury (anteriormente conocida como Cadbury Schweppes) es una empresa multinacional británica de alimentación, especialmente dulces y confitería con sede en la Ciudad de Westminster, Londres.​ Historia Cadbury fue fundada en 1824 por el inglés John Cadbury en la ciudad de Birmingham quien mediante la producción de una variedad de cacao y chocolates comenzaría a producir una bebida de chocolate para la alta sociedad inglesa, debido al alto costo de producción. Posteriormente, junto con su hermano Benjamin Cadbury crearían la compañía The Cadbury Brothers, abriendo una oficina en la ciudad de Londres, para en 1854, recibir la autorización real como fabricantes de chocolate y cacao de manos de la reina Victoria. En 1878, los hermanos decidieron construir nuevas instalaciones en las afueras de Birmingham. En dichas instalaciones se aprovecharían los nuevos avances en transporte, ya que la leche que se enviaba al interior por el canal y el cacao era trasladado mediante el ferrocarril desde los muelles de Londres, Southampton y Liverpool. En 1905 fue lanzado el producto insignia de la marca Cadbury hasta nuestros días, el Dairy Milk. Cadbury - Schweppes En 1969, Cadbury decide fusionarse junto a Schweppes, una marca creada en 1783 por el alemán Jacob Schweppe y así convertirse en Cadbury-Schweppes comercializando variados productos de ambas marcas. En 1999, Cadbury Schweppes vendió sus negocios de bebidas en todo el mundo a The Coca-Cola Company, excepto en América del Norte y algunas partes de Europa. En 2008, los negocios de bebidas de América del Norte y Europa, fueron vendidos a la Compañía Dr Pepper Snapple Group, culminando así la fusión de ambas empresas. En 2010, Kraft Foods compró a Cadbury. En 2012, Kraft Foods se convirtió en Mondelēz International. Referencias Enlaces externos Cadbury Archivado el 22 de noviembre de 2011 en Wayback Machine.
