Maison Bertaux

Maison Bertaux is a French pâtisserie in Greek Street, Soho, London. The shop began in 1871, making it the oldest pâtisserie in London. Maison Bertaux Maison Bertaux was founded in 1871 by a French communard from Paris named Bertaux. It is at 28 Greek Street, Soho, London, next door to the Coach and Horses pub; Maison Bertaux is the oldest pâtisserie in London. It is no accident that the shop opened at this location, for it was in the heart of the French community in London in the late 19th century. The historic French Protestant church is in nearby Soho Square, while the Catholic Notre Dame de France is in Leicester Place. Since 1988, the managers of Maison Bertaux are sisters Michele and Tania Wade; Michele has worked there since she was 17 years old. When they started to manage the shop, only one type of tea was being served; they now serve twenty varieties. In 2000, Maison Bertaux delivered a traditional wedding cake to a Birmingham wedding party. The shop contains a piano with a copy of The Art of French Baking on top of it, and three of the mirrors on the walls carry the inscriptions Liberté, égalité, fraternité. To celebrate Bastille Day, the shop creates a tableau vivant. The shop is situated near to the former location of Central Saint Martins art school, and also has an art gallery situated on the upper floor, which is run by Tania Wade. In 2013, the gallery hosted an exhibition of Harry Hill's paintings of celebrities including Bruce Forsyth, Ken Livingstone and Anthea Turner. The upper floor is also used as a party venue with a capacity of 20. Visitors have included Derek Jarman, Steve McQueen, Howard Hodgkin, Grayson Perry, Nicole Kidman, Noel Fielding, Andrew Irving, Damon Albarn, Martin Freeman, John Hurt and Bob Geldof. Maison Berteaux also made Lily Allen's wedding cake, and hosted Alexander McQueen's 25th birthday party. In 2020, Maison Bertaux set up a crowdfunding campaign to save the shop, after being forced to close it due to the coronavirus pandemic. Notes References External links Official website

Albert Road gas holder

The Albert Road gas holder in New Barnet, north London, is a disused gas holder on the site of the former New Barnet Gas Works with a capacity of 2 million cubic feet (57×10^3 m3) of gas. It was built for the Barnet & District Gas and Water Company and came into use in 1934 (1934). It was decommissioned around 2009 (2009). Site The holder is to the east of Albert Road on the north part of the former New Barnet Gas Works site adjacent to Victoria Park, Barnet. The site was opened for the East Barnet Gas and Water Company (formed 1866) which in 1872 took over two local gas companies and became the Barnet & District Gas and Water Company. The company was nationalised in 1949 and became part of the Eastern Gas Board. Some time after 2000, Asda supermarkets acquired the site but plans for housing and a supermarket were not approved and they sold the area to the social housing provider One Housing. The holder Gas holders have been present on the southern part of the site since at least the 1890s but the current, and last remaining, holder was not brought into use until 1934. It is column-guided with four concentric lifts and a capacity of 2,000,000 cubic feet of gas. After the exploitation of North Sea gas began in the 1960s the gas works on the rest of the site was demolished and a high pressure pipeline installed with the remaining holder retained just for low pressure storage to cope with diurnal peak demand on the system. It was decommissioned around 2009, and does not form part of the infrastructure network for the supply of gas.

Palace Theatre, Paignton

The Palace Theatre is a theatre in Paignton, Devon, England. It was built in 1890 and is the oldest working theatre in Torbay. It has been owned by Torbay Council or its predecessor organisations since 1920. The theatre underwent a major refurbishment in 2005 and has a seating capacity of 380. Since 2018, the theatre has been managed and operated by Jazz Hands CIC, a community interest company, created by Maureen McAllister and Deirdre Makepeace. History The Palace Theatre was originally an 800-seat hall for public use that opened in 1890. It was built by The Public Hall Company under managing director A. W. Axworthy, possibly as a reaction to the success of the small Gerston Theatre which had been opened as part of the Gerston Hotel in 1870 by Arthur Hyde Dendy. In 1919 an American-run film company, named Torquay and Paignton Photo-play Productions planned to buy out the Public Hall Company with the intention of building its film studios on the site of the hall to make "clean pictures for clean-minded people". This did not proceed, however, and the hall was bought by Paignton Council in 1920 after its attempt the year before which had fallen through because a price could not be agreed. By 1941 the theatre had been renamed as The Garrison Theatre when the Paignton Pantomime Company (formed 1935) presented Aladdin there in that December. That group, now known as Paignton Pantomime Productions, still performs pantomimes in December and January every year. Other groups performing there in the 1940s were the West of England Players, the Torbay Amateur Operatic Society and Herman Darewski and his Orchestra. It was renamed again in 1948 as the "Palace Avenue Theatre" and after refurbishment put on summer shows for several years. The Palace Theatre took over from the Festival Theatre as the main theatre in Paignton in 1998, on the Festival Theatre's conversion to a cinema. Today The Friends of the Palace Theatre are 1,000 plus people who care for the Palace Theatre and its future. They support the theatre by raising awareness of its place in the community by promoting its productions and by raising funds for its continual improvement. Torbay Acting Factory (TAF) is a youth theatre group specialising in theatre, song, dance and acting for young people. Its rehearsals take place in the theatre arena space and their performances take place on the main stage at the venue. TAF was owned and managed by the Palace Theatre until April 2016 when it was taken over by Doorstep Arts Theatre Company which uses the same spaces. Bijou Theatre Productions, a Theatre Club that has an audience membership, produces four productions at the theatre per year. The aim is to promote good quality drama and provide community theatre. The Robert Owen Foundation operates from within the theatre and is a creative platform for people to express their artistic side. Some of their work is on display in the theatre.

Swaffham Raceway

Swaffham Raceway, originally Swaffham Stadium, is a stock car and banger racing circuit in Swaffham, Norfolk, which also hosted greyhound racing from 1987 until 2000. Greyhound racing Swaffham became a new track on the National Greyhound Racing Club permit scheme in 1987. The 416 circumference circuit was constructed just south of the Dereham Road on the east side of Broom Covert. The track location was remote and relied on the catchment area of the market town of Swaffham to the west and some clientele from the further afield Kings Lynn and Norwich. It ran parallel to the closed Great Eastern Railway Lynn & Dereham line which ran through an area that separated the track from NRM horticulture laboratories. Maurice and Anne Kirby opened the track to the public on 16 November 1987, with Maurice Kirby acting as the Racing Manager on the race nights of Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Distances were 270, 480, 686 & 896 metres behind an 'Outside Sumner' hare. There was a large car park, 72 kennels and ten on course bookmakers but limited facilities in terms of structures with just one main stand. Because of a lack of greyhound racing in the area, Swaffham attracted significant trainers such as Kevin Cobbold, John McGee and Ken Peckham. In 1989 Tom Smith was brought into the track as the new General and Racing Manager and by 1992 he had acquired the lease. Together with his son Gavin they were always looking to improve the mechanical workings of greyhound racing from hare systems to drainage and they produced a new hare that would change the industry. They came up with a hare that was modelled on the older outside 'McKee-Scott' but it had modifications that allowed the hare driver to use a simple turn switch and then an even simpler hare rail at ground level with the wire running on pulleys underneath. Within a ten-year period the popular 'Outside Sumner' and older 'Outside McKee' had all but disappeared within the industry. The hare was known as the 'Swaffham' and this allowed the Smiths to set up a very successful greyhound parts company. A dispute over security of tenure led to the cessation of greyhound racing at Swaffham on 14 July 2000. Kirby planned to reintroduce greyhounds in 2007 after spending £60,000 on a new greyhound track but Kirby died in 2012. Track records Today Stock cars still take place today. In 2018 former Rye House Stadium promoter Eddie Lesley announced his plans to revamp the site; one of his companies owns the site outright and there are plans for a schooling track.

St Nicholas Church, Sutton, London

St Nicholas Church, Sutton, is a Grade II* listed parish church in the centre of Sutton, London. It was built between 1862 and 1864 in the Gothic style with dressed flint and stone dressings. It was designed by the architect Edwin Nash. Location St Nicholas - the oldest of the three town centre churches in Sutton - is surrounded by a small ancient graveyard, which is wooded. It also contains some lawned areas with benches. Two well-used public footpaths run through these grounds. It is in ecumenical partnership with other denominations and in a Team Ministry with other Anglican churches. History The present building stands on a site that has been used as a church since Saxon times - an earlier, smaller church occupied the site until the nineteenth century, which apart from its piscina was replaced by the present church building, which was consecrated in February 1864. The previous church was stone, and dated mostly from the fourteenth or fifteenth centuries. It had a tower, porch and chancel. Its poor condition, as well as the enlargement of its congregation, necessitated its replacement. The church suffered slight damage in an air raid in 1940, during the London Blitz. A flying bomb fell near the church and mostly destroyed some of the graves in the churchyard, but the building itself remained largely intact. Architectural features The church was rebuilt from an earlier one in 1862-4 by Edwin Nash, incorporating monuments from the old building. It is in the Gothic style. It was constructed with dressed flint and stone dressings. Its roof is of red tile. The entrance is bright blue. It has a four-bay nave, chancel, organ chamber and vestry, side aisles, south aisle chapel and west tower. Its tower has a doorway in its west side, four tiers of fenestration and a shingled broach spire. There are aisle windows of three lights with circular tracery over in pointed heads, two-light windows to the south aisle chapel and a chancel window of five lights. There are gabled porches to the north and south sides; the south porch has the following inscription on its bargeboard: "How amiable are thy dwellings thou Lord of Hosts". Inside the church are a nave with pointed arches supported on circular columns with foliated capitals; timber roofs; and whitewashed walls. The present structure incorporates a medieval piscina, and monuments from the old church including the following: monuments to Sarah Glover (1628), to Lady Dorothy Brownlow (1699), to William Earl Talbot (1782) and to Isaac Littlebury (1740). Burials Dorothy Mason, wife of Sir William Brownlow, 4th Baronet (d. 1700) William Talbot, 1st Earl Talbot (1710–1782) Notable clergy Joseph Glover (d. 1638), who died in the crossing to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and whose wife, Elizabeth Glover, hence introduced the printing press to North America, was Rector of St Nicholas from 1624 to 1636.

Cranbrook Strict Baptist Chapel

The Cranbrook Strict Baptist Chapel, is a Strict Baptist place of worship in the town of Cranbrook in the English county of Kent. The chapel was built in 1787. History There had been a history of Baptists in Cranbrook when the first Baptists arrived from Biddenden in 1648. The area had already been a hotbed for Nonconformists since the puritans during the English Civil War. There had been a big meeting and public debate in Cranbrook that led to a formation of a large Baptist church in Spillshill near Staplehurst during the reign of King Charles I of England. The Cranbrook Strict Baptist Chapel came about following a split from the General Baptists in Bessels Green, Kent. The Cranbrook Strict Baptist Chapel was created in 1787 following the conversion of a pair of wood panelled cottages into a Strict Baptist chapel. The chapel holds surviving baptismal records from 1682 for those in the Cranbrook area who had not baptised in the Church of England. The chapel provided pastors to help found the local Providence Baptist Church in 1909. In 1967, the Cranbrook Strict Baptist Chapel was given grade II listed building status by English Heritage. In 2002, the chapel made a submission to the House of Lords' Select Committee on Religious Offences, arguing for the blasphemy law in the United Kingdom to be retained. The chapel was listed by Tunbridge Wells Borough Council among several notable local features, to be a contributory building to Cranbrook's status as a conservation area. The pastor of the Cranbrook Strict Baptist Chapel also joins in the induction of new interdenominational Christian ministers in Cranbrook.
