Northallerton Town F.C.

Northallerton Town Football Club is a football club based in Northallerton, North Yorkshire, England. They are currently members of the Northern League Division One and play at the Calvert Stadium. History The club was founded in 1895. They originally played in the Allertonshire League, before moving onto the Vale of Mowbray League and the Ripon & District League, before then becoming members of the Teesside League in 1972. However, they left the Teesside League in 1974, transferring to the North Yorkshire League. The club later joined the Darlington & District League and then the Harrogate & District League. In 1982 they moved up to the newly-formed Division Two of the Northern League. After finishing as runners-up in Division Two in 1989–90, the club were promoted to Division One. In 1993–94 they won the Northern League Cup. Northallerton Town folded during the summer of 1994 and were reformed as Northallerton Football Club. The 1994–95 season saw them finish second-from-bottom of Division One, resulting in relegation to Division Two. However, they were Division Two champions in 1996–97 and were promoted back to Division One. In 1998 the club reverted to their previous name after being relegated back to Division Two at the end of the 1997–98 season. The club were Division Two runners-up in 2005–06, resulting in promotion to Division One. In 2008–09 they finished bottom of Division One and were relegated back to Division Two. The club won the league's Ernest Armstrong Memorial Cup in 2011–12, and went on to win the trophy again in 2015–16, 2016–17 and 2018–19. In 2018–19 Northallerton finished third in Division Two and were promoted to Division One. They finished second-from-bottom of Division One in 2025–26, but were reprieved from relegation. Ground The club played at the Bluestone Ground until 1974 when it was compulsorily purchased by North Yorkshire County Council. The council provided the club with a new ground on Ainderby Road, which was later renamed the Calvert Stadium. In the early 1990s a 150-seat stand and a covered terrace with a capacity of 400 were built, with terracing also installed behind both goals. In 2019 the club signed a 25-year lease on the ground, allowing them to invest in new facilities and floodlighting.

Northampton General Hospital

Northampton General Hospital is a district general hospital in Northampton, Northamptonshire, England. It is managed by the Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust. History The hospital was established in a townhouse on George Row in 1744. After a fund-raising campaign led by Dr William Kerr, a purpose-built hospital designed by Mr A Saxton was built at Northampton Fields and opened in 1793. In October 2012, the Macmillan Haematology Unit, a multimillion-pound cancer facility, was opened by the Countess of Halifax, President of Macmillan Cancer Support. Performance In October 2013, as a result of the Keogh Review the trust was put into the highest risk category by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). In March 2014, the CQC published its report following an inspection of the trust. As well as identifying areas for improvement there were a number of positive findings. The trust was judged as good across all services for ‘caring’ and inspectors found that, in the main, the safety and effectiveness of services had been maintained, despite the overriding urgent care pressures. In October 2019, the CQC published a report rating the hospital as "requires improvement" overall, with some areas "good". In February 2023, the CQC published another inspection report that rated the hospital the same as previously. In the news Two series of BBC Three's Bizarre ER were filmed at the hospital in autumn 2009. An elderly man died in March 2018 while waiting to be seen by a consultant at the hospital's accident and emergency department: overcrowding at the department was blamed. Notable staff Marion Jane Neepe (1859–1947), matron from 1892 to 1904. Neepe trained at The London Hospital, under Eva Luckes between 1881 and 1883. Transport links Northampton has several bus stations outside, and it is served by buses operated by Stagecoach Midlands. The VH1 is operated by the Cogenhoe parish council.

Northampton School for Girls

Northampton School for Girls (NSG) is a single-sex girls' comprehensive secondary school with academy status, in Northampton, Northamptonshire, England. History The school became an academy in 2014. In 2020, it was reported that the school would be given £2.75 million from the sale of part of the school grounds. The plan was to use this to fund improvements in sports facilities at the school. Specialist music status In 2004, the school gained specialist Music College status, the first school in England to do so. Ofsted noted in 2006 that the school's status "benefits the wider community as well. For example, students assist in leading music workshops in primary schools, and the school's orchestra performs at local and national events". The school is also home to Spinney Hill Theatre, where both NSG students and other groups regularly perform. In the past, the theatre has been used for classical music productions when work is undertaken on the Derngate theatre. Academic performance and inspection judgements As of 2022, the school's most recent full inspection by Ofsted was in 2021, with a judgement of Good. There has been no full inspection since the school became an academy in 2014. In 2019, the school's progress and attainment at GCSE was above average. The average A level grade was C, the same as the average for Northamptonshire, and just below the England average of C+. The school's progress score at A level was -0.08, considered average. Notable former pupils Lady Margaret Douglas-Home, musician, writer, and arts promoter (attended occasionally) Lesley Joseph, actress Bertha Swirles, physicist Luisa Zissman, retail entrepreneur and reality television personality See also Northampton High School for Girls References External links The school's website Records of the school, 1915-1975, at the National Archives
Northborough Manor House

Northborough Manor House, også kendt som Northborough Hall eller Northborough Castle Farmhouse, er en befæstet herregård fra middelalderen og en listed building af første grad i landsbyen Northborough i Cambridgeshire, England. Historie Northborough Castle blev opført mellem 1333 og 1336 af Roger Northburgh, Biskop af Lichfield. Fra den oprindelige bygning er kun portbygningen og hallen bevaret. Ifølge historikeren Anthony Emery var det "en af de fineste" befæstede herregårde Cambridgeshire. Portbygningen er domineret af en stor portbue, som gav god beskyttelse til herregården, selvom den hverken havde vindebro eller faldgitter. Hallen er i typisk 1300-talsstil med karnapper placeret regelmæssigt for at give lys i rummet, der var dekoreret med vægmalerier. I 1500- og 1600-tallet blev der foretaget udvidelse og ombygninger af herregården. I dag er bygningen en listed building af første grad.

Northborough Manor House

Northborough Manor House, also known as Northborough Hall or Northborough Castle Farmhouse, is a medieval fortified manor house, and Grade I listed building in the village of Northborough in Cambridgeshire, England. History Northborough Castle was built between 1333 and 1336 by Roger Northburgh, the Bishop of Lichfield; of the original manor, only the gatehouse and the hall still survive. The result, according to historian Anthony Emery, was "one of the finest" fortified manors in Cambridgeshire. The gatehouse is dominated by a huge gateway, which, whilst it did not have a drawbridge or portcullis, provided considerable protection to the manor behind it. The hall typified the 14th-century fashion for improved lighting, with bay windows placed regularly along the line of the hall, and was decorated with wall paintings. Some 16th and 17th-century extensions to the castle were made. The manor was sold to James Claypole in 1565, and sold to Lord Fitzwilliam in 1681. It was reputedly visited by Oliver Cromwell. In the 1970s it was purchased by garden book author Roy Genders. Today, the gatehouse is available for holiday lets, and the manor is open to visitors by appointment.

Northern Club (sports club)

The Northern Club, located in Crosby Merseyside, was founded in 1859, originally as a cricket club. It moved to its present site, in the picturesque Moor Park area of Crosby, seven miles (11 km) to the north of Liverpool, in 1907. By 1961, the cricket club shared its grounds with hockey, squash and crown green bowls, and in this year the four sports merged to form the Northern Club. The club is amongst the top multi-sport clubs in the North West of England, with around 1000 members. It has three cricket pitches, a hockey astroturf pitch, five squash courts and two bowling greens, all on the Moor Park site. History The club was originally called the Northern Cricket Club, and the first clubhouse was situated in Rawson Road in Seaforth. Although the predominant sport was cricket, bowls was also played, and ladies indulged in archery. In 1879, the club re-located to premises north of Haigh Road, in the Waterloo Park area of Waterloo. A lawn tennis court was incorporated, and additional grass and cinder courts added later, and by 1888 the total membership numbered 70. The grounds were then sold in 1907, and the club moved to its current location while the Moor Park residential area was still in its infancy. In the 1970s, Waterloo Park Cricket Club merged into the Northern, and when their former ground was sold in 1989, the Moor Park grounds were expanded with the acquisition of 9 acres (36,000 m2) of farming land that are now cricket pitches. A synthetic hockey pitch and second bowling green were also added to the amenities. Ladies hockey came to Northern when Ormskirk Ladies Hockey Club, which had been founded in 1966, merged into the Northern in 1995. Awards and Accreditations In recent years the club has been recognised both locally and nationally, with a variety of individual and collective awards. In successive years 2003 and 2004, Northern was voted Sefton's Sports Club of the Year, and has been commended in the annual awards since, where club players and volunteers have also been regularly recognised. Most notably, in 2006, Northern was awarded prestigious third place in the National Club of the Year Awards. In the same year, the squash section of the club was voted England Squash Club of the Year. In 2019, the club became Lancashire County Cricket's prestigious Club of the Year. In the cricket season of 2024, Northern became National Club Champions in the ECB Vitality T20 competition. References External links http://northernclub.uk
Northern Stage, Newcastle upon Tyne

Northern Stage is a theatre and producing theatre company based in Newcastle upon Tyne. It is surrounded by Newcastle University's city centre campus on King's Walk, opposite the students' union building. It hosts various local, national and international productions in addition to those produced by the Northern Stage company. Until the 2006 reopening, the theatre was known as the Newcastle Playhouse and is a registered charity. The complex hosts three stages. The capacity decreases, with stage one being the largest, having 447 seats. The complex also boasts a café-bar. History Early history The building opened as the University Theatre in 1970 and provided a new home for the Tyneside Theatre Company. The company had been established in 1968 in the Flora Robson Playhouse in Jesmond, which was set to be demolished in a road-widening scheme. The architect Sir William Whitfield designed the building as a flexible performance space which also included three bars, two of them opening onto the auditorium. The new building also housed the Gulbenkian Studio. The building was renamed the Newcastle Playhouse in 1978 after the Tyneside Theatre Company was dissolved and replaced with the Tyne and Wear Theatre Company. In 1987 this became the Tyne Theatre Company and moved out of the Playhouse to the Tyne Theatre and Opera House before another move in 1989 saw its name change to Northern Stage. The company moved back into the Playhouse in 1992, also taking over the running of the Gulbenkian Studio. From 1992 until 2005 the company was run by Alan Lyddiard who created the Northern Stage Ensemble Company in 1998. Recent history It re-opened in August 2006 as Northern Stage after a £9 million refurbishment. The first performance at the refurbished theatre was a production of Dennis Potter's Son of Man. During the 2006 refurbishment an art installation was constructed on the roof of the theatre, titled Escapology, by artist Cath Campbell. On 7 April 2008 the Barras Bridge car park was permanently closed for the development of the university's new King's Gate Building. Productions Northern Stage both presents visiting national and international theatre and produces its own productions. On reopening in 2007 productions included the first-ever revival of Our Friends in the North, Lipsynch (a co-production with Robert Lepage), the first major UK adaptation of Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber and updated versions of Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House and John Osborne's Look Back in Anger. More recently, productions have included Hedda Gabler and Dr. Frankenstein, both in co-production with Newcastle-based theatre company Greyscale.

Northernhay Gardens

Northernhay Gardens are located in Exeter, Devon, England, on the northern side of Rougemont Castle. They are the oldest public open space in England, being originally laid out in 1612 as a pleasure walk for Exeter residents. The gardens are Grade II listed in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens, and are maintained by Exeter City Council. The site was originally quarried in Roman times for stone for the city walls. The gardens incorporate a stretch of Roman wall and the only length of Saxon town wall to be seen in England. They form a crescent shape bounded to the north by the West of England Main Line and Exeter Central railway station, and to the south by the castle and Rougemont Gardens. Their eastern entrance is at the head of Northernhay Place and the gardens open on the west to Northernhay Gate. The early park was destroyed in the Civil War, in 1642, when large defensive ditches were dug outside the walls for the city's defence. Soon after the Restoration, in 1664, the city set about restoring the park, planting hundreds of young elms and laying out gravel paths. There has been a tradition of maintaining the park as a major city amenity since that time. The gardens underwent a major re-landscaping in 1860, and between 1860 and 1895 received an important group of monuments to major Victorian figures in the city's history. The Deer Stalker (1875) by E. B. Stephens (1815–1882), is a significant piece of Victorian art that was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1876. Stephens also sculpted the statues of John Dinham, who was a local philanthropist, and Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, 10th Baronet, in the gardens. In the 17th and 18th centuries Northernhay Gardens were affectionately known by the familiar name "Norney". The statue of the Conservative politician Stafford Northcote (1887) is by Joseph Boehm. The Volunteer Memorial (1895), designed by S. K. Greenslade, commemorates the formation of the 1st Rifle Volunteers in 1852, and the Exeter War Memorial by local sculptor John Angel was constructed in 1923. The gardens also contain a bandstand. In the mid 1900s the mature avenue of elms lining the central walk succumbed to Dutch Elm Disease and were felled. Subsequent planting has sought to provide all-year-round colour and interest. The gardens offer views over large parts of the city, and events are hosted there throughout the year. References External links Northernhay Gardens
Northey Island

Northey Island is an island in the estuary of the River Blackwater, Essex. It is linked to the south bank of the river by a causeway, covered for up to 3 hours either side of high tide. The island is approximately 1 mile (2 km) to the east of Maldon, Essex and 1 mile (2 km) to the west of Osea Island. The island is owned by the National Trust. The Battle of Maldon, 991 is believed to have taken place on the causeway and the south bank of the Blackwater near the island. At that time the causeway is thought to have been half as long as it is presently – 120 yards rather than 240 yards today. Significant land reclamation was carried out by the Dutch contractor Nicholas Van Cropenrough in the early 18th century; he unwalled marshland to significantly enlarge the island but the walls were breached by the sea and the land returned to marshland on 29 November 1897. In 1923 Northey was bought by the writer and campaigner Norman Angell. The island is part of the Blackwater Estuary Site of Special Scientific Interest. Northey is home to diverse birdlife and this is reflected in the place name 'Awl Creek' which perpetuates the traditional Essex dialect word for the avocet. At one time Northey was home to more species than it is now. The island was one of the last southern strongholds of the raven, the last bird being taken from the Ladies grove in 1888. It is one of 43 (unbridged) tidal islands which can be walked to from the British mainland and one of six such tidal islands in Essex.

Northey Island

Northey Island est une île dans l'estuaire de la Blackwater, dans le comté d'Essex, en Angleterre de l'Est. Elle est reliée à la rive sud de la rivière par une route submersible excepté entre deux heures avant et après la marée haute. Elle se trouve approximativement 2 km à l'est de Maldon (Essex) et 2 km à l'ouest d'Osea Island. On pense que la bataille de Maldon, en 991, a eu lieu sur la chaussée et la rive sud de la Blackwater près de l'île. À cette époque, la chaussée était probablement moitié moins longue qu'elle ne l'est actuellement - 120 mètres au lieu de 240 mètres aujourd'hui. Une importante tentative de valorisation des terres a été réalisée par l'entrepreneur néerlandais Nicholas Van Cropenrough, au début du XVIIIe siècle : il a entouré les marais pour agrandir considérablement l'île, mais les murs ont été percés par la mer et la terre est redevenue marécageuse le 29 novembre 1897. En 1923, Northey a été acheté par l'écrivain et militant Norman Angell ; en 1933, il a reçu le prix Nobel de la paix.[citation nécessaire] L'ensemble de l'île et une partie de la rive près de la chaussée sont désormais une réserve naturelle nationale. Northey abrite une avifaune diversifiée qui se rencontre dans le nom de lieu "Awl Creek" qui perpétue le nom de l'Avocette en dialecte traditionnel de l'Essex Northey abritait autrefois plus d'espèces animales qu'aujourd'hui. L'île a été l'un des derniers bastions méridionaux du raven (corbeau), le dernier oiseau ayant été capturé dans le bosquet des Dames en 1888 L'île appartient au National Trust et ne peut être visitée qu'en accord avec le gardien qui en est le seul habitant. C'est l'une des 43 îles à marée (sans pont) accessibles à pied depuis le continent et l'une des six îles à marée de l'Essex Références (en) Cet article est partiellement ou en totalité issu de l’article de Wikipédia en anglais intitulé « Northey Island » (voir la liste des auteurs).

Isola di Northey

L'isola di Northey si trova sull'estuario del fiume Blackwater, nell'Essex; è collegata alla riva meridionale del fiume con un rilevato che viene coperto per due ore dall'alta marea. L'isola dista approssimativamente 2 km a est da Maldon (Essex) e 2 km a ovest dall'isola di Osea. Si ritiene che la battaglia di Maldon, combattuta il 10 agosto 991, abbia avuto luogo sul rilevato e sulla riva meridionale del Blackwater, vicino all'isola. Molto probabilmente allora il rilevato era lungo circa la metà di quello attuale (120 yarde anziché le attuali 240). Un significativa bonifica del terreno fu realizzata dall'appaltato olandese Nicholas Van Cropenrough all'inizio del XVIII secolo; egli circondò con mura l'isola, ampliandone notevolmente la superficie utile ma i muri furono distrutti dal mare e la terra tornò a essere una palude nel novembre 1897. Nel 1923 Northey fu acquistata dallo scrittore Norman Angell (cui nel 1933 venne assegnato il Premio Nobel per la pace). L'intera isola e parte della riva vicino al rilevato sono oggi una Riserva Naturale nazionale del Regno Unito. Northey ospita diversi uccelli e ciò è riflesso nel luogo nominato Awl Creek, che perpetua la parola del dialetto tradizionale dell'Essex per avocetta. Una volta Northey ospitava molte più specie avicole di oggi. L'isola è stata una delle ultime roccaforti del corvo, l'ultimo uccello del boschetto nel 1888. L'isola è disabitata, a parte il guardiano. Essa è proprietà del National Trust e può essere visitata accordandosi con il guardiano. È una delle 43 isole mareali (prive di ponte) cui si può accedere a piedi dalla terraferma britannica e una delle sei isole mareali nell'Essex.

Northfield Library

Northfield Library is a Carnegie library in Northfield, Birmingham, England which in 1914 became the first open-access lending library in Birmingham. History Northfield Library was opened in 1906. The land was provided by the Cadbury family and the building constructed with funds of £750 (equivalent to £78,845 in 2025) donated by Andrew Carnegie. The foundation stone was laid by Alderman T. R. Bayliss. On 12 February 1914 the library burnt to the ground. Suspicion fell on local suffragettes. It was rebuilt in the same year by the Free Libraries Committee and became the first open-access lending library in Birmingham The façade remains the same; however, in 1984, the library building was doubled in size and a project was undertaken to remove asbestos at the same time.
