Normanby Hall

Normanby Hall ist ein klassisches Herrenhaus im Dorf Burton-upon-Stather, 8 km nördlich von Scunthorpe in der englischen Verwaltungseinheit North Lincolnshire. Das heute zu sehende Haus ließ Sir Robert Sheffield 1825–1830 nach den Plänen von Robert Smirke errichten. Die Familie Sheffield hatte auf diesem Anwesen seit 1539 gelebt und sie führten die Titel der Dukes of Buckingham and Normanby und der Baronets Sheffield. Das bis heute erhaltene Haus ersetzte ein frühes Gebäude aus dem 17. Jahrhundert. John Sheffield wurde 1703 Duke of Buckingham and Normanby. In London ließ er ein schönes Stadthaus namens Buckingham House bauen. Sein Sohn, Edmund Sheffield, verkaufte dieses Haus an Georg III.; es ist heute als Buckingham Palace bekannt. Das Herrenhaus wurde von 1906 bis 1908 nach den Plänen von Walter Brierley umgebaut und erweitert. Die Familie Sheffield verließ Normanby Hall 1963. Sie gehört heute dem North Lincolnshire Council. Das frühere, 1,4 km² große Anwesen ist heute ein Landschaftspark. Dort gibt es restaurierte eingefriedete Gärten aus viktorianischer Zeit, ein Bauernhofmuseum, einen Stallhof, Ententeiche, ein Rehgehege, einen Fischweiher, eine Minieisenbahn und Laubmischwald. Samantha Cameron, Gattin des konservativen Premierministers David Cameron und ältere Tochter des 8. Baronets Sheffield, wuchs auf dem Anwesen auf.

Normanby Hall

Normanby Hall is a classic English mansion, located near the village of Burton-upon-Stather, 5 miles (8 km) north of Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire. History The present hall was built in 1825–30 to the designs of Robert Smirke for Sir Robert Sheffield (1786–1862). The Sheffield family had lived on the site since 1539, and the family's titles include Dukes of Buckingham and Normanby and Sheffield baronets. It replaced a previous 17th-century building. John Sheffield became Duke of Buckingham and Normanby in 1703. He built a fine mansion in London called Buckingham House. His son, the second Duke sold the house to George III and it is now known as Buckingham Palace. The house was extended and altered to designs by Walter Brierley between 1906 and 1908. The Sheffield family moved out of Normanby Hall in 1963. The hall is now in the care of the North Lincolnshire Council. The former 350 acre (1.4 km2) estate around the hall is now a country park. Within it, there are a restored working Victorian walled garden, a farming museum, duck ponds, a deer sanctuary, a fishing lake, a miniature railway and a stableyard with the life-size Horse and Rider sculpture by Harold Gosney. Samantha Cameron, wife of the former Conservative prime minister, David Cameron, and elder daughter of the eighth Baronet, grew up on the estate. Normanby Hall is also home to the "Party in the Park" music festival, which takes place over the weekend in July, and has featured bands such as Toploader, tribute acts covering Little Mix and Gary Barlow, and local bands such as The Dirty Pitchers, who cover Britpop hits. Tourism and sport Normanby Hall Country Park is a tourist attraction operated by North Lincolnshire Council and includes several activities for children and families. An adjacent council-operated par 72 golf course shares the Normanby Hall Name.

Norris Almshouses

The Norris Almshouses were erected in 1893 on Berridge Road in Sherwood Rise, Nottinghamshire. They comprise a row of eight one-bedroom houses for Ladies, designed by the architect Fothergill Watson and paid for by Mary Smith Norris (1827–1909) in 1893 in memory of her brother John Norris. The charity objectives were to provide a residence available for poor widows or spinsters or married couples of not less than 60 years of age resident in the City of Nottingham or within a distance of 6 miles therefrom. Preferences shall be given to persons so qualified who are members of the Church of England or some orthodox Protestant dissenting denomination. A restoration in 1991 included the manufacture of hand-cut bricks, a terracota dragon for the roof ridge and a specially commissioned weather cock and sundial. The almshouses are now managed by Nottingham Community Housing Association and the Norris Homes Charity (236206) which formerly managed the properties was wound up in 2008. References

Norris Castle

Norris Castle ist ein Herrenhaus am nordöstlichen Ende des Dorfes East Cowes auf der Isle of Wight. Es wurde von James Wyatt 1799 für Lord Henry Seymour im normannischen Stil entworfen. Es hat eine Fassade mit Zinnen, ist aber keine echte Burg. Die Zinnen dienten nie der Verteidigung. Ursprünglich diente das Haus gesellschaftlichen Veranstaltungen. Trotz seiner Größe besitzt es nur vier Schlafräume. Der größte Teil des Gebäudeinneren wird von nur einem Raum eingenommen und der Verbindungskorridor ist sehr massiv. Dadurch entsteht der Eindruck einer großen Burg. English Heritage hat das Haus 1951 als historisches Gebäude I. Grades gelistet. Wyatt entwarf auch einen Bauernhöfe weiter im Inneren der Insel im selben Stil. Georg IV. besuchte das Herrenhaus 1819 und Prinzessin Alexandrina, die spätere Königin Victoria, und ihre Mutter, Victoire 1831. Victoire weilte 1859 erneut in Norris Castle. Königin Victoria kaufte später Osborne House, das östliche Nachbaranwesen. Von 1880 bis 1903 gehörte das Herrenhaus dem Duke of Bedford und seiner Gattin. Der deutsche Kaiser Wilhelm II. war ein häufiger Besucher. In den 1960er- und 1970er-Jahren war das Herrenhaus öffentlich zugänglich; heute ist es geschlossen. Einzelnachweise
North Binness Island

North Binness Island is a small, uninhabited island in Langstone Harbour. It is 900 metres (980 yd) long and up to 250 metres (270 yd) wide but only rises to 2.5 metres (8 ft) above Ordnance Datum. The island was originally (along with a large part of Farlington Marshes) part of Binner's Island. The island has been uninhabited in recent times, but there is evidence of historical occupation. A 100-metre (110 yd) long earthwork on the island has been suggested to date from the 18th century. There is also archaeological evidence that suggests the island was occupied during the Bronze Age and the Roman period. Finds from the Bronze Age include evidence of a salt works. It has also produced finds dating back to the Mesolithic period, before Langstone Harbour formed and the land became an island. The island was formerly home to a pond which is now filled with mud. Plants on the island consist of salt-water grasses and a few trees. In 1978 the island, along with the other islands in Langstone harbour, was acquired by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds who turned it into a bird sanctuary. Since that time unauthorised landings have been forbidden. References

North Cestrian School

North Cestrian School, formerly North Cestrian Grammar School, is a free school in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, England, for pupils aged between 11 and 18. North Cestrian is part of the Hamblin Educational Trust. History The school was opened in 1951 by Walter Hamblin, formerly headmaster of Altrincham Grammar School for Boys, with 26 pupils. In 2004, the library was named after him. The school was originally to be named North Cheshire Grammar School, but this was not permitted by the county education authorities as the school was not government-owned. Hamblin therefore replaced "Cheshire" with its Latinised form "Cestrian"; this maintained the same "NCGS" initials already in place on some school equipment. The school was originally an all-boys school but in September, 2005 admitted its first girls. In 2008, it became fully co-educational. Staff In 2008, teacher David Bradley was awarded an MBE in the Queen's New Year Honours List for services to young people.

North East Aircraft Museum

North East Aircraft Museum – brytyjskie muzeum lotnictwa, mieszczące się na terenie dawnej bazy Royal Air Force Usworth obecnie porcie lotniczym Sunderland. Historia W 1974 roku na lotnisku w Sunderland, grupa entuzjastów lotnictwa założyła North East Vintage and Veteran Aircraft Association (NEVAA), skupiającą ludzi zbierającą pamiątki związane z historią awiacji. W marcu 1975 pozyskali ze złomowiska śmigłowiec Westland Dragonfly a w maju tego samego roku samolot Gloster Meteor F8 "Prone Pilot", który również został uratowany od pocięcia na żyletki. W 1977 roku rozbudowująca się kolekcja wzbogaciła się o duński Hawker Hunter. Rok później NEVAA został przekształcona w Northumbrian Aeronautical Collection. W tym samym roku przybyły North American F-100 Super Sabre i Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star. W 1980 roku kolekcja została oficjalnie nazwana North East Aircraft Museum i mogła poszczycić się kolejnym nabytkiem, francuskim samolotem myśliwsko bombowym Dassault MD 454 Mystère IV. W 1983 przybył brytyjski bombowiec strategiczny Avro Vulcan. W 1984 roku muzeum przeżywało kryzys, lotnisko Sunderland zostało zamknięte a na jego miejscu planowano wybudować fabrykę samochodów. Na szczęście muzeum pozyskało nowy teren tuż obok lotniska, na którym otrzymało dwa hangary wykorzystywane później do ekspozycji swojej kolekcji. W 1985 przybył Republic F-84F Thunderstreak. Początkowo muzeum czynne było jedynie w niedziele ale od 1987 roku otwarte jest dla publiczności przez cały tydzień. W tym samym roku muzeum wzbogaciło się o North American F-86 Sabre. W 1988 roku British Aerospace przekazał muzeum bombowiec English Electric Canberra. W kwietniu rok później przybył z Arabii Saudyjskiej English Electric Lightning. W 1993 roku do muzeum przybył argentyński samolot szturmowy, FMA IA-58 Pucará, zdobyty przez Brytyjczyków podczas wojny o Falklandy. w 1994 roku otwarto trzeci hangar wystawowy. Obecnie muzeum posiada w swojej kolekcji ponad 30 samolotów i śmigłowców, silniki lotnicze oraz części samolotów z czasów II wojny światowej, którą kolekcjonerzy i ludzie związani z muzeum wydobywają ze znanych miejsc katastrof walczących samolotów.

North Greenwich Pier

North Greenwich Pier is a pier on the River Thames, London, England. It is situated on the Greenwich Peninsula in south-east London, to the east of The O2. The pier was formerly named QEII Pier after Queen Elizabeth II. History North Greenwich Pier was originally built in the 1880s as a coaling jetty for the former Greenwich gasworks before this closed in the late 1980s. Most of the original jetty was demolished in 1997 to make way for the new passenger pier; however eight of the original cast iron caisson columns were retained to secure the new floating pier. Antony Gormley's 'Quantum Cloud' statue stands on the downstream group of four caissons. Design The new pier was designed by architect Richard Rogers Partnership with Beckett Rankine as the engineer and Costain as main contractor. The most striking feature of the pier is its 87metre long, 160tonne, bowstring canting brow which, unusually, is supported on three bearings. Services The pier is served by river boat services operated by Uber Boat by Thames Clippers, including: a regular commuter catamaran service, from Barking Riverside and Woolwich (Royal Arsenal) Pier into central London, via Greenwich, Canary Wharf and Tower to the London Eye. the fast The O2 Express service A replacement boat service to a pier near East India DLR station when the London Underground Jubilee line is closed for engineering works.

North Greenwich bus station

North Greenwich Bus Station serves the area of North Greenwich in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, Greater London, England. The station is owned and maintained by Transport for London. The bus station is next to the North Greenwich station and situated approximately 100 metres away from the O2 arena. History The Jubilee line extension included a station at North Greenwich, which would include a large car park and bus station. Construction on the tube station began in 1993. In 1996, Greenwich was chosen as the site for the Millennium Experience, with the under construction station considered to be a key part of the transport infrastructure. Initial designs for the bus station were by North Greenwich station architects Alsop, Lyall and Störmer – with a colourful "L" shaped roof, representing a missing letter from Millennium. Foster and Partners were instead chosen to design the station in 1996, with the design incorporating a sweeping aerofoil shaped roof canopy, with extensive use of glass. North Greenwich Transport Interchange opened around the same time as the tube station in May 1999 as part of the Jubilee line extension. The Millennium Dome was the main attraction during that time. The bus and tube stations are located quite close to the southern portals of the Blackwall Tunnel. The bus station is accessible via escalator from the tube station. There are five stands within the bus station. Future replacement As part of the development of the Greenwich Peninsula, the bus station building will be replaced, built around a new multistorey car park. Initial proposals for a new bus station designed by Santiago Calatrava did not materialise. References Gallery External links Buses from North Greenwich - Transport for London
