City of London Freemen's School

City of London Freemen's School (CLFS) is a co-educational private school for day and boarding pupils, located at Ashtead Park in Surrey, England. It is a partner school of the City of London School and the City of London School for Girls, which are both independent single-sex schools located within the City of London itself. All three schools receive funding from the City's Cash. The school's head is a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference. The Good Schools Guide described the school as "A traditional academic and sporty school in a stunning setting with impressive facilities but not at all elitist – in fact quite the opposite." In 2024, 33% of grades in A Levels were A* and 72% of grades were A*-A. In GCSEs, 40% of grades were 9, 67% were 8-9 (equivalent to A*) and 86% achieved 9-7 in GCSEs. History The school was founded in 1854 by the Corporation of London, and was originally located in Brixton, London to educate orphans of freemen of the city. It is still possible for such children to be educated as "Foundationers" at the school with the costs of their education borne by the City of London Corporation. The school is set in 57 acres (230,000 m2) of Ashtead Park in Surrey, having moved from Brixton to Ashtead in 1926. Boarding house The boarding house, known as Walbrook, is located next to Main House and the junior school and welcomes international students as well as domestic students. Old Freemen's Once pupils leave school they become part of Old Freemen’s Association, which includes the Old Freemen's Rugby Football Club, Cricket Club and Hockey Club. There is also a Guild of Scholars of the City of London, which was formed to encourage former pupils from the three ‘City schools’ to develop links with the City of London. Membership is open to all former pupils, staff, and retired staff, who must have obtained their ‘Freedom of the City of London’ but there is no subscription. In addition any pupil aged 14–17 who is still at school may apply to become an apprentice to a Freeman of the City. They will then be entitled, at the age of 21, to apply for the Freedom of the City and membership of the Guild of Scholars. Notable alumni Former pupils are known as Old Freemen. Some better known Old Freemen include: Rory Burns - Surrey and England cricketer Simon Cowell (presenter) - presenter of Animal Planet and Wildlife SOS Warwick Davis - actor, star of Willow, also appeared in the Star Wars and Harry Potter movie series Andrew Garfield - actor, appeared in the film The Amazing Spider-Man and others Andrew Goddard - gastroenterologist Ashley Mote - former UKIP MEP Anders Nielsen - badminton player Alexandra Rickham - Paralympic sailor Guy Spier - investor Joe Strummer - lead singer of punk rock band the Clash; real name John Mellor Gavin Turk - one of the Young British Artists Andy Ward - progressive rock drummer best known for playing in Camel in the 1970s Peter George - former chairman and chief executive of Hilton Group PLC References External links Official website Profile at the Good Schools Guide Cityoflondon.gov.uk

City of Norwich Aviation Museum

The City of Norwich Aviation Museum is a volunteer-run museum and charitable trust dedicated to the preservation of the aviation history of the county of Norfolk, England. The museum is located on the northern edge of Norwich International Airport and is reached by road through the village of Horsham St Faith. History In 2016, a number of aircraft had to be moved to make room for the Northern Distributor Road. Although part of the museum property was given up for the road, the footprint of the museum grew slightly due to a land swap. The museum welcomed EI-RJN, a 21-year old Avro RJ85, formerly operated by CityJet, as an exhibit in October 2020. The jet had to be lifted over the Northern Distributor Road by crane. The museum acquired the collections of the Fenland and West Norfolk Aviation Museum in 2022 when the latter closed. At the same time, it began building a new 260 m2 (2,800 sq ft) expansion called Fenland Hall to house the collection.

City of Stoke-on-Trent Sixth Form College

The City of Stoke-on-Trent Sixth Form College is a mixed sixth form college on Leek Road, Stoke-on-Trent. It opened its new building on Leek Road in September 2010 having previously been located on Victoria Road, Fenton. The college is also known as Stoke-on-Trent Sixth Form College, and – prior to its relocation – Fenton Sixth Form College. Admissions The college specialises in educating years 12 and 13, where students can gain AS, A2 and BTEC qualifications. More than 95% of students are aged between 16 and 19. About 90% of students are of White British heritage, with a large minority being British Pakistanis. About 70% of students come from the city, with the rest journeying in from north Staffordshire. The college requires a minimum of four GCSEs at A* to C grades, rather than the minimum five usually required. History The college was established in 1970 on Victoria Road, Fenton; making it the first purpose-built sixth form college in the country. Next to it was the Fenton Manor Sports Complex. Originally build with a capacity of 700 students, it eventually came to teach more than double that figure. The idea of a 'University Quarter' was first announced in 2004, and was developed for the next few years. A December 2004 report gave most teaching staff a grade of good or better. In November 2006 an Ofsted report gave the college a satisfactory grade, and gave a good or better teaching and learning in 72% of lessons. In late 2008 planning permission was given for the college to build a new campus on Leek Road, as part of a £1.5 billion regeneration project in north Staffordshire. The project was suspended in January 2009, and concerns were made if sufficient funds could be found. The site was handed over to developers in March 2009, just as an Ofsted report gave the college a satisfactory grade. In September 2010 the college officially moved to Leek Road, Stoke-on-Trent. The college was named in July 2019 as a computing hub for the National Centre for Computing Education. Academic standards The school competes with four other institutes in the city: St Joseph's College, St Margaret Ward Catholic Academy, St Thomas More Catholic Academy and Stoke-on-Trent College. Of these only Shelton based Stoke-on-Trent College is not attached to a school. Performance table Note The points system has changed over the years, leading to big jumps in some years. Feeder schools The college has feeder schools throughout the city. Many of the students go on to local universities Staffordshire and Keele. Notable staff and students Anthony Bale, medievalist Lee Chapman, student, footballer David Kidney, student, Labour MP Neil Morrissey, student, actor Anna Richardson, student, TV Presenter Imran Sherwani, student, hockey player Jonathan Wilkes, student, entertainer and friend of Robbie Williams References External links Burslem campus uniq-stoke.org
City of Westminster Magistrates' Court

The City of Westminster Magistrates' Court was a magistrates' court located at 70 Horseferry Road, in the City of Westminster, London. It was originally called Horseferry Road Magistrates' Court, after the road in which it was sited. However, it was renamed in July 2006 following the closure of Bow Street Magistrates' Court. It served as the court where the Chief Magistrate of England and Wales sat, and all extradition and terrorism-related cases passed through the court. The court closed permanently on 22 September 2011, and was replaced on 27 September 2011 with Westminster Magistrates' Court, built on the site of Marylebone Magistrates' Court at 181 Marylebone Road. The court pictured has since been demolished, and replaced with a development of flats. History The court building, designed by C. A. Legerton and opened in 1974, was functional and "of minimal personality and minimal expression of function and purpose", according to Pevsner. It was opened as one of a series of three larger court houses, with the others at Camberwell Green and Highbury Corner. It had four courtrooms as opened and a further two were added later. The central location and proximity to New Scotland Yard caused the court to be involved in a number of high-profile cases. References

Cityspace

CitySpace was an internet-based virtual world launched at SIGGRAPH 1993 by educator and project director Zane Vella. CitySpace was one of the earliest online virtual 3D environments and first came to attention via mainstream news media in late 1993. CitySpace was also the first user-generated virtual world, similar to virtual worlds like Second Life, and enabled participants to contribute 3D computer graphics and digital imagery to a collaborative real-time rendered 3D virtual world in which participants interacted with each other via avatars. CitySpace was active from 1993-1996 and won the 1996 NII Award for Arts and Entertainment. Early CitySpace installations at the Boston Computer Museum (1993), Exploratorium (1994 and 1995) and Ontario Science Center (1995) combined educational computer graphics workshops and introduction to internet communications for young people ages 8 to 18. Both during and between CitySpace installations, contributors around the world collaborated via email and early internet video tools including CU-SeeMe to create avatars, buildings, vehicles and virtual toys. CitySpace installations consisted of networked Silicon Graphics Onyx Reality Engine supercomputers, Macintosh-based 3D modeling and graphics software, videoconferencing and data projection. The CitySpace software, written by Chris Cederwall of the Electronic Visualization Laboratory, enabled real-time rendering, six degrees of avatar motion, text chat, and peer-to-peer communication between CitySpace clients for sharing avatar position information, chat content, and graphics updates. In 1994 CitySpace was also featured in the Cave Automatic Virtual Environment at the SIGGRAPH '94 VROOM event, a demonstration of the state of virtual reality technology. Participants The CitySpace project team included Coco Conn (producer), Zane Vella (director), Chris Cederwall (programmer), Jim Damiano (3D modeler), David Goldberg (educator), Ann Hess (mentor), Ole Lutjens (artist), Jim Thompson (network guru), and Daniel Blackman (collaborator) References
King's House Sports Ground

King's House Sports Ground (formally known as the Civil Service Sports Ground) is a multi-use sports ground in Chiswick, London. King George V presided over the official opening in 1926 and inspected the teams. The first recorded cricket match on the ground was in 1926, when the Civil Service cricket team played Australia in a non first-class match. The following year, the ground held its only first-class match when the Civil Service played the touring New Zealanders. This match was also the Civil Service's only appearance in first-class cricket. The ground held a single Second XI Championship match in 1973 when the Middlesex Second XI played the Kent Second XI. During the 1993 Women's Cricket World Cup, the ground held its only Women's One Day International when New Zealand women played the West Indies. Since 2010 the Sports Ground has been managed by King's House School. The school has overseen many new developments to facilities, including a new 3G and all-weather pitch.

Clacket Lane services

Clacket Lane services is a motorway service station on the M25 motorway midway between junctions 5 and 6, in Surrey, United Kingdom, adjacent to the parish borders between Limpsfield, Surrey and Westerham, Kent, a small village and a town respectively. It is the largest Roadchef services in the UK, and one of the largest and busiest on the UK motorway network serving traffic on the extremely busy southern stretch of the M25 London orbital motorway, and traffic to and from the coastal ports and the Channel Tunnel. It is named after a road which passes over the motorway nearby. History Service stations at the site were first proposed in 1972. During planning, the services were intended to be named Titsey Wood after the forest that surrounds the site. In 1977 Tandridge District Council received hundreds of protests about the proposed site being built in the wood. The site would be 40 acres, with parking for 770 cars, 30 coaches and 150 trucks. There would be two self service restaurants with 400 seats each. It was anticipated to sell 12 million gallons of fuel in 1994. The site could store 1.6 million litres of fuel, with 160 pumps. Construction The architects were Dancey and Meredith. Structural engineering was by the Ernest Green Partnership. The £13.2m contract was awarded to Moss Construction of Cheltenham, who built it in 15 months, and by Wallis Ltd of Bromley. The landscape architect was Travers Morgan. Building started in May 1992. 45 year old Peter Whitlock, a former Asda store manager, from Milton Keynes, would be the general manager. During construction of the sites, artefacts from Roman Britain were found, specifically from a disused Roman road and are now displayed at the service station. Opening Fuel services were opened on Monday 17 May 1993, by Patricia Banks, chairman of Tandridge District Council. The catering services were opened by Robert Key, Minister for Roads and Traffic on 21 July 1993. Structure Most of the site is in Tatsfield, and part of the western site is in Titsey. Staff entrances to the services are on Clacket Lane itself References External links Official website Archaeological site report
Clapton Pond

Clapton Pond is a pond and garden at Clapton in the London Borough of Hackney. The pond has existed since the 1600s. History The name ‘Clapton’ or ‘farm on the hill’ is derived from the Old English words ‘clop’, meaning a lump or hill, and ‘ton’, meaning a farm. For centuries the land was owned by the Bishops of London, and occupied by tenant farmers who grew hay and food for the City of London. The villages of Lower and Upper Clapton lay on either side of Clapton Lane, which later became the Lower and Upper Clapton Roads. Lying about halfway between the two villages was Clapton Pond, fed by a natural spring. This would have been used to irrigate the land, and supply water for the farmers and their animals. By the late 18th century Clapton had become a fashionable place to live, with many fine country houses built for the rich merchants of London. Huguenot and Jewish communities also moved into the area, helping to develop Clapton into a prosperous neighbourhood. In the 19th century Clapton turned from being a sleepy backwater into a bustling London suburb and many of its grand houses were demolished to provide land for new homes. This rapid growth was increased by the opening of Clapton railway station in 1872, and the arrival of the tramways. By the 1890s, the houses on Thistlewaite, Newick, Mildenhall and Millfields Roads had been built, supplying much needed housing for newcomers. Despite the decline of Clapton's prosperity in the 1920s and 1930s, the first half of the 20th century saw Clapton Pond at its most glorious, a perfect setting for the unique buildings situated behind the pond - the 17th-century Bishop Wood's Almshouses, the late 18th-century Pond House and the two mid 18th-century houses. Transport Transport for London operates several bus stops adjacent to the pond which bear the name Clapton Pond. Routes that utilize the Clapton Pond stations include London Bus route 38, route 55, and route 253. Community The pond and gardens have served as a focal point for the people of Clapton, from the few farmers who worked the land hundreds of years ago, to the multi-cultural community living and working in Clapton in the 21st century, who use it for public events and as a place to relax. London based poet Kae Tempest used Clapton Pond as the setting of her work On Clapton Pond at Dawn. The skeleton of a chicken was found at the bottom of the pond in 2011. In recent years the Clapton Pond Neighbourhood Action Group has been working to renovate the pond. In 2021, Hackney Council completed renovations to the play spaces near the pond. Wildlife The pond is home to several wild ducks and aquatic fish. The garden is also a common feeding spot for seagulls and pigeons.

Clare Castle

Clare Castle er ruinen af en middelalderborg på toppen af en stor høj, der ligger i Clare, Suffolk, England. Den blev opført kort efter den normanniske erobring af England i 1066 af Richard Fitz Gilbert, som en motte and bailey-fæstning med en høj motte. Den blev senere genopført i sten. I 1300-tallet var den sæde for Elizabeth de Clare, der var en af sin tids rigeste kvinder i England, som havde en stor husstand på stedet. Borgen overgik til kronen og i 1600 var den ikke længere i brug. Ruinerne står på en ualmindeligt høj jordbanke, der er omkranset af høje ruiner af en mor og et rundt tårn. Den blev delvist ødelagt og ændret af Great Eastern Railway i 1867, men jernbanesporene er siden blevet fjernet. Ruinerne er et scheduled monument og listed building af anden grad. Den ligger som hovedattraktion i en offentlig park kaldet Clare Castle Country Park. Se også Liste over borge og slotte i England Referencer Eksterne henvisninger

Claremont Landscape Garden

Claremont Landscape Garden, která se nachází poblíž Esher, v Surrey, v Anglii, je jedním z nejstarších dochovaných příkladů zahrad upravených podle zásad sadovnické tvorby ve stylu anglického parku. Stále si zachovala svůj původní vzhled, jaký měla v 18. století. Historie Původně byla vytvořena pro Claremont House. Představuje práci některých z nejlépe známých zahradních architektů, jako je Charles Bridgeman, Lancelot 'Capability' Brown, William Kent a John Vanbrugh. Práce na zahradě probíhaly v letech 1715 až 1727. Zahrada byla popsána jako "noblesnější než jakákoliv jiná v Evropě". V úpravě s výhledem na jezero je neobvyklý rašelinný amfiteátr, který slouží hlavní části každoroční akce s názvem The Claremont Fête Champetre. Stovky návštěvníků navštěvují Claremont, nejvíce z nich v kostýmu (každý rok na jiné téma), aby si užily čtyři dny hudby, divadla a ohňostrojů. Správcovství V areálu je také Belvedere Tower, navržená Johnem Vanbrughem pro vévodu z Newcastlu. Věž je neobvyklá v tom směru, že to, co se jeví jako okna, jsou vlastně cihly natřené černou a bílou barvou. Nyní je ve vlastnictví Claremont Fan Court School, která se nachází vedle zahrad. V roce 1949 byla krajina zahrada dotovaná společností National Trust na péči a ochranu. Program obnovy byl zahájen v roce 1975 v návaznosti na významné dary od Slater Foundation.
