Templars Square

Templars Square is a shopping centre located in Between Towns Road, Cowley, Oxford, England. It was opened in 1965 and was known as Cowley Centre until 1989. Development and construction A shopping centre in central Cowley was first proposed in the late 1950s. By 1959, the proposal had received strong endorsement from Oxford City Council, and an embargo on new shopping developments along the nearby Cowley Road was enforced. The development was opposed by William Beveridge, who felt that Cowley was the wrong location for the centre. Construction of the development, by now known as Cowley Centre, began in 1960. Its design was inspired by new town centres and North American shopping malls. The shopping centre designed by the Oxford City Architects E. G. Chandler and Douglas Murray. Between Towns Road was realigned when Cowley Centre was built. Opening and subsequent history Cowley Centre was opened in May 1965 by Richard Crossman, then Minister of Housing and Local Government. The opening ceremony was attended by over 300 people. In 1970, the Sainsbury's store at the northern end of the centre was extended, requiring the demolition of a local pub, which was rebuilt around twenty yards away. The Sainsbury's store later closed and was replaced by branches of Wilkinson and Iceland. The centre was renamed to Templars Square in 1989, and celebrated its 20th year under the name with a series of events in August 2009. In January 2014 part of the centre's glass roof was damaged in a storm. Facilities As of August 2009, Templars Square has 63 retailers, making it the largest shopping centre in Oxford. This number had decreased from 85 in 2002, partly because of the 2008 financial crisis; one of the largest stores, Woolworth's, closed in December 2009. However, overall trade at the centre was largely unaffected by the recession. The Woolworth's site has since been taken over by 99p Stores. As of June 2010, the centre's occupancy rate is 96%. Templars Square has a six-storey car park. This opened in 1964, a year before the shopping centre. In July 2009 the top deck of the car park was temporarily closed after three people died by falling from it. The centre is located adjacent to the Templars Retail Park, which was legally restricted to non-food sales to avoid competition with the centre. In December 2010 a proposal was announced to relax the restriction and open a new supermarket at the site, which was opposed by the centre's management. This has since changed with a Sainsbury's superstore opening in this retail park. Future development In 2012 New River bought the centre and soon revealed redevelopment plans. Plans for redevelopment of the centre including 200 homes, shops, two restaurants and a hotel received planning permission in July 2017 however, as of October 2020 no redevelopment has taken place and there is currently no scheduled start date for this. In April 2022 NewRiver sold Templars Square to Redevco for £38.8 million. Further reading The Cowley shopping centre. Her Majesty's Stationery Office. 1968. ISBN 0-11-700376-X.

Temple Island (England)

Temple Island ist eine Insel in der Themse in England nördlich von Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. Die Insel liegt flussaufwärts des Hambleden Lock und gehört zu Remenham in Berkshire. Die Insel liegt am Startpunkt der Henley Royal Regatta. Hintergrund Auf der Insel steht ein Tempel (eine Folly), der vom englischen Architekten James Wyatt 1771 gebaut wurde. Er war als Fischerhütte für das nahegelegene Fawley Court gedacht, ein Haus, das Wyatt ebenfalls in den 1770er Jahren im Auftrag von dessen Besitzer Sambrooke Freeman umbaute. Wyatt entwarf sowohl die Form des Tempels als auch seine Inneneinrichtung. Wahrscheinlich machte er zudem Entwürfe für die Originalmöbel. Die Wandgemälde im Hauptraum sind wahrscheinlich die ältesten erhaltenen Beispiele für den etruskischen Stil in Großbritannien, älter noch als die sehr bekannten Beispiele im Osterley Park von Robert Adam. Im 19. Jahrhundert kam die Insel in den Besitz der Familie Mackenzie. 1952 beim Tode von Roderick Mackenzie, bat die Henley Royal Regatta seine Tochter Margaret um ein Vorkaufsrecht, sollte sie die Insel jemals verkaufen. Es ist nicht geklärt, ob hierzu eine Übereinkunft getroffen wurde. In den frühen 1980er Jahren steigerte das Aufkommen von Firmenfeiern den Wert der Insel beträchtlich. 1983 begannen die Stewards der Regatta Margaret Mackenzie Kaufangebote zu machen, aber 1986 wurde die Insel zum freien Verkauf angeboten. Mit der Hilfe einer Spende von £515,000 von Alan Burrough (einem Steward der Regatta) und seiner Frau Rosie, gelang es der Regatta im Dezember 1987 eine Pacht für 999 Jahre für die Insel und den Temple zu erwerben. Daran anschließend wurden Restaurierungsarbeiten am Tempel und auf der Insel durchgeführt. Das flussabwärtsgelegene Ende der Insel wurde zu einem Naturschutzgebiet umgestaltet und mit zahlreichen Bäumen bepflanzt. Der viktorianische Balkon am Tempel wurde ersetzt. Die Wandmalereien, die schlecht ausgebessert worden waren, wurden in den von Wyatt vorgesehenen Originalfarben wiederhergestellt. Die Statuette einer Nymphe, wurde in Anlehnung an den Stil des Tempels aufgestellt.

Temple Moor High School

Temple Moor High School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form located in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. In recent years, it has received 'Science College' status. In 2017 an Ofsted inspection gave the school a Good rating. History The school was founded in 1956 in Leeds as a boys' Grammar school, a status it retained until 1973. At its inception, the school was male-only and competed in Rugby Union with Leeds' state boys' schools who competed in that code, as well as the private male-only Leeds Grammar School. The male-only structure was abandoned as times changed, and Temple Moor is currently a mixed gender institution (1992). The school was associated with notable local families, most credibly the DeLacy family, who are recognised in the Temple Newsam area. On 16 May 2007 construction workers punctured a chlorine tank whilst demolishing the school's disused swimming pool, forcing evacuation of the school. Temple Moor is the first Leeds school ever to reach the Carnegie Champion Schools Final in its 30-year history. Previously a foundation school administered by Leeds City Council, in November 2018 Temple Moor High School converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the Red Kite Learning Trust. Admissions The school is oversubscribed, and currently has a roll of around 1,400 as of September 2018 pupils. Temple Moor local feeder primary schools are: Temple Newsam Halton Primary School, Crossgates Primary School, Temple Learning Academy, Whitkirk Primary School, Colton Primary School, St. Peters Primary School and Austhorpe Primary School. Ofsted In its 2013 Ofsted inspection the school was rated as Grade 2 (Good), and this was also the school's rating in its 2017 Ofsted inspection. Former houses The school's original houses were based on names of local historical families: Manston (red), Scargill (white), Smeaton (yellow) and Irwin (purple). The DeLacy family is associated with Temple Newsam, an estate and country house situated nearby, from which the school derived its name and its Templar Cross emblem. The House System was reintroduced in 2006–2007, as part of the school's 50 year anniversary, with the houses named after stars appropriate to the school's Science College specialist status: The house system was discontinued in September 2017.

Temple of Harmony

The Temple of Harmony is an 18th-century folly in the grounds of Halswell House, Goathurst, Somerset, England. Built in 1767, it is a replica of the 1st-century Temple of Fortuna Virilis in Rome. The Temple stands in Mill Wood, a 17-acre (7 ha) pleasure garden in the grounds of Halswell House, and was built for Sir Charles Kemeys-Tynte in 1767 to designs by Thomas Prowse, with features by Robert Adam and Thomas Stocking. The Temple was dedicated to the memory of a mutual friend, Peregrine Palmer, formerly MP for Oxford University (d 1762). The Temple has a slate roof and pedimental end gables, and is surrounded with Ionic columns and pilasters. It is aligned north-west/south-east, with the portico at the south-east end, facing Halswell House which lies some 470 metres (510 yards) distant. The Somerset Buildings Preservation Trust (SBPT) acquired the Temple in 1993 in a derelict condition, having been used for many years as a cattle shelter. It has now been restored, with grants from English Heritage and others, and is a Grade II* listed building. Its dimensions at its base are approximately 6.4 by 11.3 metres (21 by 37 ft), and it now has the addition of a tie bar, a long retaining bolt that runs through the structure from one side to the other, helping to keep it together. John Walsh's marble statue in the temple depicting Terpsichore, the Muse of joy in the dance and lyric poetry, was dedicated to the memory of Thomas Prowse after his death in 1767. This was copied in 1999 and the copy is now located here. The original is in the Museum of Somerset, Taunton. The Temple was owned by the Somerset Building Preservation Trust and managed by the Halswell Park Trust for a number of years. In 2020 it was purchased by Edward Strachan, the owner of Halswell House and the surrounding land known as Mill Wood, thus restoring it to its rightful position in the surrounding parkland. The Temple can be visited on Sunday afternoons during the summer months and at other times by prior arrangement.

Shoreham-by-Sea

Shoreham-by-Sea est un port du Sussex de l'Ouest, en Angleterre. Situé au milieu de l'agglomération urbaine s'étendant le long de la côte entre Brighton et Worthing, il compte 17 537 habitants (2001). Histoire La localité d’Old Shoreham, sur l'Adur remonte à l'époque pré-romaine. Le port de New Shoreham est créé par les Normands au XIe siècle. C'est à Shoreham que Charles II s'embarque pour la France après sa défaite à la bataille de Worcester. L'arrivée du chemin de fer en 1840 transforme la ville en port industriel, avec l'installation de chantiers navals. Bateaux-maisons (Houseboats) Une laisse de mer , protégée par un cordon dunaire, découvrant à marée basse s'étend à proximité de Shoreham et n'est pas officiellement cadastrée. Ce statut particulier y a attiré , dans le contexte de la crise du logement de la fin des années 40 une communauté d'originaux , des hippies avant la lettre , qui y ont installé un véritable village de bateaux-maisons (houseboats) , dont une bonne partie sont des anciennes vedettes lance torpilles MTB réformées de la Royal Navy après démontage de leurs surpuisssants moteurs d'avion qui les avaient fait surnommer Mosquito boats. D'autres sont des remorqueurs fluviaux, des péniches, d'ancien yachts. Pour en faire des lieux de vie plus spacieux ces bateaux ont été transformés en y greffant des superstructures d'une fantaisie débridée (y compris un bus londonien à étage servant de véranda ) le tout peint et décoré dans un style psychédélique très bariolé. Même si cette communauté tend à se gentrifier elle reste un monde un peu à part avec ses règles de solidarité propres et constitue un attraction touristique locale Personnalités liées à Shoreham-by-Sea Naissances Alain Tranchemer (décédé vers 1205), armateur et homme de guerre au service du roi d'Angleterre.
