The Witchwood

The Witchwood is a pub and live music venue in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, England. Located in Ashton's town centre, The Witchwood has been a hub for live indie and rock music since the 1960s, and features on North West England's pub music circuit.

In 2004, Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council served a compulsory purchase order on The Witchwood, as plans for the regeneration of the surrounding area required the building to be demolished. After a campaign to save the venue, supported by local musicians and businesses, and live music fans from across the country, Ask Developments agreed that The Witchwood would stay, on condition that "the exterior would be re-rendered and new windows put in". The campaign to save The Witchwood was led by Tom Hingley and supported by musicians such as Bert Jansch, the Fall, and The Chameleons. References

The Wool House

The Wool House is a medieval building in Southampton, Hampshire, England, which was built to serve the wool trade. It has since had various uses. History The Wool House was built in the late 14th century to store wool for export to Italy. In the early 19th century it was used as a prison for Napoleonic French prisoners of war. The building was restored by Southampton City Corporation and adapted to house the Southampton Maritime Museum, which opened in June 1966 and moved to SeaCity Museum in January 2012. It is a Grade I listed building. A plaque on the wall of The Wool House records its history: This building was erected in the 14th century for the storage of wool before export to the continent in the galleys and carracks of Venice and Genoa. The wool trade was the basis of Southampton's prosperity in the middle ages. During the Napoleonic wars The Wool House was used to accommodate French prisoners of war, some of whose names may be seen carved on the beams of the roof. This building was restored by the city corporation and opened as a Maritime Museum in June 1966. During the early part of the 20th century, the premises were occupied by The Moonbeam Engineering Company Limited who built motor launches and later expanded to include the sale of wrought iron propellers and marine engines for export around the world. Edwin Moon used a corner of the workshop to realise his dream of constructing and flying an aircraft of his own design which he flew from land at North Stoneham in 1910, on fields which subsequently became Southampton International Airport. The Maritime Museum, housed here from 1966 to 2012, documented the maritime heritage of Southampton and the Solent area, its history as a base for ocean liners and in particular its connections to RMS Titanic. Its mission statement was: "To collect, preserve, display and interpret artefacts and information to reflect the widest range of history of the city and its people; to promote enjoyment, awareness of the engagement with Southampton's heritage, via the presentation of the life of the city and its people." In June 2013, The Wool House was opened up by Element Arts, a pop-up arts organisation, who used the space as a gallery and community arts venue featuring exhibitions and live events - music, dance, poetry, theatre, plus workshops for all ages. Element Arts had the Wool House for a short time on a rolling month by month basis. Plans were approved in 2014 to allow the Dancing Man Brewery to turn the building into a microbrewery and pub. The Wool House reopened on 27 February 2015 as a brewpub/restaurant.

The institute is an associate member of the Cambridge Theological Federation which brings together eleven institutions through which people of different denominations, including Anglican, Methodist, Eastern Orthodox, Reformed and Roman Catholic, train for various forms of Christian ministry and service. History The Woolf Institute was established in 1998 as The Center for Jewish-Christian Relations to "provide an academic framework and space in which people could tackle issues of religious difference constructively." In 2010, it combined with The Centre for the Study of Muslim-Jewish Relations and the Centre for Policy and Public Education, and the institute was renamed to The Woolf Institute. In 2019, the institute set out to explore how to tackle extremism in the United Kingdom, and to find a way to measure different levels of extremism. Teaching The Woolf Institute works together with the Cambridge Commonwealth Trust and the Cambridge Overseas Trust to offer the Woolf Institute Cambridge Scholarship, a PhD scholarship for the study of relations between Jews, Christians and Muslims.

The Workhouse, Southwell

The Workhouse, officially known as Greet House, and alternatively as Southwell Union Workhouse, or Thurgaton Incorporation Workhouse, in the town of Southwell, Nottinghamshire, England, is a museum operated by the National Trust, opened to the public in 2002. Built in 1824, it was the prototype of the 19th-century workhouse, and was cited by the Royal Commission on the poor law as the best example among the existing workhouses, before the resulting New Poor Law of 1834 led to the construction of workhouses across the country. It was designed by William Adams Nicholson, an architect of Southwell and Lincoln, together with the Revd. John T. Becher, a pioneer of workhouse and prison reform involving daily tasks of hard labour by breaking stones and recycling of oakum. It is described by the National Trust as the best-preserved workhouse in England. The building remained in use until the early 1990s, when it was used to provide temporary accommodation for mothers and children. Its acquisition by the National Trust reflected the organisation's wish to broaden its interests and to ensure the continued existence of a Grade II* listed building that was potentially to be turned into residential flats. Restoration work began with roof repairs 14 July 2000 and is ongoing as of 2025 as part of the long-term conservation programme. Many rooms have been redecorated as they would have looked in the 19th century and buildings, walls and privies, which had been demolished in the 20th century, have been reinstated. The laundry drying room was opened in March 2012, coinciding with long-service presentations to staff and volunteers by (then) National Trust director-general, Fiona Reynolds. In 2013, the site received the Sandford Award for Heritage Education, as a learning-facility for local schoolchildren. In 2015 the property was featured in 24 Hours in the Past.

The World of James Herriot

World of James Herriot Ltd is a visitor attraction in the former Thirsk home and veterinary surgery of author James Herriot. Displays include recreations of James Herriot’s 1940s flat; depictions of rural life and veterinary practice at the time, together with sets and props used for the 1978 BBC All Creatures Great and Small television series based on his books. History In 1995, Hambleton District Council spent £1.4 million purchasing 23 Kirkgate, depicted by James Herriot as Skeldale House, and refurbishing it. It opened in 1999 but was soon threatened with closure. In 2011, operation transferred to the not-for-profit World of James Herriot Ltd led by Ian Ashton and as of 2022, the directors include James Herriot's real life son and daughter. Hambleton District Council retains ownership of the building. In 2019, The World of James Herriot received 35,000 visitors and reportedly benefitted from interest in the series The Yorkshire Vet, on Channel 5. Management closed the attraction to visitors during the COVID-19 pandemic but anticipated boosts from the broadcast of a new All Creatures Great and Small series in the UK in September 2020, and in the US in 2021. By early 2021, VisitBritain was using the phrase "Discover 'All Creatures Great and Small' in Yorkshire". In 2020, Hambleton District Council granted a subsidised 30-year lease to the operators. Gallery The James Herriot Foundation Trust World of James Herriot established the James Herriot Foundation Trust in 2018 to provide bursary awards for people wishing to become veterinary nurses, with the assistance of sponsors.

Museum of Performance

Museum of Performance (dříve Theatre Museum) je národní muzeum divadelního umění nacházející se v ulici Russell Street v oblasti Covent Garden v Londýnském obvodu Westminster. Je pobočkou národního muzea aplikovaného umění Victoria and Albert Museum. Historie Počátky muzea se datují do roku 1911 kdy sběratelka Gabrielle Enthovenová začala kampaň za založení Národního muzea divadelního umění. Victoria and Albert Museum přijalo roku 1924 do své správy její sbírky a ona sama je rozšiřovala až do své smrti roku 1950. Roku 1971 Harry R. Beard věnoval muzeu svou sbírku více než 20 000 divadelních a operních textů a programů. Theatre Museum bylo vyčleněno jako samostatná jednotka roku 1974 kdy byly sloučeny sbírky z muzea Victoria and Albert Museum, British Theatre Museum Association, které byly založeny roku 1957 a Friends of the Museum of Performing Arts – soukromá sbírka obsahující velké množství materiálu ruského baletu. Nově vytvořené muzeum rozšiřovalo své sbírky pomocí darů, nákupu a odkazem dědictví. Mezi jinými to byl archív English Stage Company, sbírka návrhů Arts Council a British Council, Antony Hippisley Coxe Circus Collection a British Model Theatre and Puppet Guild Collection. Roku 1987 bylo muzeum přestěhováno do budovy na Russell Street v Covent Garden. Současnost Muzeum zobrazuje historii divadelního umění ve Velké Británii od 16. století do současnosti. Pokrývá všechny obory divadelnictví – drama, tanec, operu, muzikál, cirkus a loutkové divadlo. Muzeum má nejrozsáhlejší sbírky dokumentů a artefaktů z oboru divadelnictví na světě. V jeho sbírkách se také nacházejí kostýmy, návrhy, rukopisy, knihy, videonahrávky, včetně Národního video archívu divadelnictví, plakáty a obrazy. Muzeum je financováno ze státních prostředků. Vstup do muzea je volný, bez poplatků.

Theatre Royal, Brighton

The Theatre Royal is a theatre in Brighton, East Sussex, England presenting a range of West End and touring musicals and plays, along with performances of opera and ballet. History In 1806, the Prince of Wales (later George IV) gave assent for the theatre to be built and it opened on 27 June 1807, with a performance of William Shakespeare's Hamlet. The theatre struggled until it was purchased in 1854 by actor Henry John Nye Chart, who engaged theatre architect Charles J. Phipps to begin a programme of expansion and redevelopment. The theatre improved its reputation and finances, becoming a respected venue. When Henry John Nye Chart died in 1876 his wife, Ellen Elizabeth Nye Chart, took over and continued the success as one of the first female theatre managers. There is a statue to honour her in the Royal Circle bar. In 1920, the financial buoyancy of the Theatre enabled the directors to buy adjacent properties and make substantial improvements to the building. In 1923 the Theatre purchased the Colonnade Hotel, now the Colonnade bar and in 1927, the last major structural enlargement was made to the auditorium. In 1928, Walter Hackett's Other Men's Wives premiered at the theatre before transferring to the West End. Later premieres included The Ninth Man (1931), Frieda (1946), Young Wives' Tale (1949), Escapade (1952) and Not in the Book (1958). In the mid and later 20th Century the Royal's stature and national reputation continued to grow. Ibsen, Rattigan, Coward and Orton plays opened as a try out date before a London West End run. The Redgrave Family, Laurence Olivier, John Gielgud, Charlton Heston, Marlene Dietrich, Margot Fonteyn, Rex Harrison, Judi Dench and Paul Scofield all performed there. On 20 August 1971 it became a Grade II* listed building, listed as "The Theatre Royal and the Colonnade Public House (Number 10) and Attached Colonnade and Stage Entrance to the Theatre Royal". In 1984, London impresario David Land, bought the theatre and subsidised productions at the theatre out of his own pocket up to £400,000 a year. Land and later his son, Brook, ran the theatre for a decade and a half revitalising the Royal with popular acts. In 1986, the theatre was featured in the Rainbow episode Visit to the Theatre when Geoffrey Hayes, Zippy and George went to see Peter Pan. In 1999, the Theatre Royal was bought by the Ambassador Theatre Group and a full-scale modernisation commenced. In 2007, the theatre celebrated its 200th anniversary with a visit from Queen Elizabeth II. The venue offers backstage tours, where the public can go behind the scenes at the Grade II* listed building. In recent years, catering to a wider demographic, the Theatre Royal Brighton has chosen to offer an alternative to a Christmas pantomime, which it historically performed, replacing such shows with hits such as Spamalot (2011), The Rocky Horror Show (2012), and Priscilla Queen of the Desert (2013). It also regularly hosts performances during the city's annual Brighton Festival. References External links History of Brighton's Theatres Including the Theatre Royal Theatre Royal Brighton
