Oswestry Castle

Oswestry Castle is a medieval castle in the town of Oswestry, Shropshire, England. The castle has also been known as, or recorded in historical documents as: Album Monasterium; Blancminster; Blankmouster; Blancmustier; Croes Oswald; L'Oeuvre; L'uvre; Castle Loure; Luure; Luvre; Lvvre: Castle Philip; Oswaldestre; Meresberie. The first reference to the castle in Oswestry was in 1086, when castelle Lurve (or castle L’oeuvre) is recorded in the Domesday Book as being built by Rainald, Sheriff of Shropshire in the Hundred of Meresberie. No town was recorded until around 1272 when references appear to the settlement of Blancminster (named after its white stone church). The Welsh were already referring to Croes Oswallt (Cross of Oswald) in 1254, regarding St Oswald, the Northumbrian king killed at the Battle of Maserfield (reputed to have taken place near Oswestry) in 641 AD. After Rainald the castle passed to Alan fitz Flaad. The civil war between Stephen and Empress Matilda (1135–54) saw the Marcher Lord of Oswestry, William FitzAlan, join forces with Matilda. As a consequence he was deprived of his lands, including the castle and its area, and titles by Stephen after 1138, when he fled into exile. The castle was reclaimed by Madog ap Maredudd the Prince of Powys between 1149 and 1154, along with the lordship of the area. This was short-lived; on the accession of Henry II in 1154, William FitzAlan recovered his estates and was restored as High Sheriff of Shropshire in 1155 until his death in 1160. A period of conflict between the Welsh and the English followed and the castle was sacked numerous times. In 1165, Henry himself adopted it as a base for his unsuccessful campaign against Owain Gwynedd. In 1211 King John moved against Llywelyn the Great and the castle came under attack. By 1270 the castle’s walls had been extended to embrace the town, but its military significance declined. The castle was garrisoned by Royalist troops during the Civil War, and captured by the forces of Oliver Cromwell in 1644. It had been largely demolished by the Roundheads by 1650. The motte is about 12m high and 52m by 72m at its base. The collapsed remnants of the stone keep, possibly dating to the 13th century, are in situ. The remains of the keep are a Grade II Listed Building. The internal layout of the keep is not known, but an inventory compiled in 1398 notes three chambers, hall, chapel dedicated to St Nicholas, kitchen, larder and buttery. To the south east of the keep are the remains of a bastion, largely rebuilt in the late 19th century, it is a Grade II Listed Building. The walls and the gate piers are also Grade II Listed. The castle bailey, which lies to the south of the motte, probably served as the initial focus for the development of the town. The town had grown beyond the limits of the bailey before the second half of the 13th century when the town walls were constructed. The location of the bailey is recorded in the street names Bailey Street and Bailey Head. See also Listed buildings in Oswestry References

West London Hospital

The West London Hospital was founded in 1856 as the Fulham and Hammersmith General Dispensary, which was housed in a small 6-roomed building in Queen Street, Hammersmith. It catered for acute conditions and later for geriatric, maternity, rehabilitation and long-stay conditions. History Increasing demand led to the leasing of larger premises of Elm Tree House in Hammersmith Road in 1860. At this time it began to admit in-patients, mainly victims of industrial accidents. In 1863 it was renamed the West London Hospital. It was granted a royal charter on 1 November 1894. During the First World War it was linked to the 4th London General Hospital, and 36 of the West London's beds were reserved for sick and wounded servicemen. In February 1925 Princess Mary opened a new wing financed by Dan Mason. This had an accident ward of 16 beds, separate cancer wards for male and female patients, each with 7 beds, 26 rooms for private patients and 2 operating theatres. Private patients were charged 5 guineas (£5.25) a week for a single room and 4 guineas (£4.20) for a double room. In 1937 a new block on the eastern corner of the Hospital was added - the Silver Jubilee Extension - and was officially opened by Queen Mary. The hospital's accident and emergency department closed in the 1970s when Charing Cross Hospital moved from central London to new premises on Fulham Palace Road. In 1993 its remaining services were moved to the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital on Fulham Road. The building was sold and refurbished as offices and named Saunders House. The facade is listed and has been preserved. The building was previously rented by Sony Ericsson, and temporarily renamed Sony Ericsson House; it is now simply known as 202 Hammersmith Road. The freehold is owned by a Middle Eastern investor. The property is presently the headquarters of Victoria Beckham's fashion brand. It was reported in 2018 that the property had been bought for £16.8 million by the Emirati investment holding company SRG Holding. References

Foundation stone was laid on 27 January 1822. French ex-prisoners-of-war and the local community were likely involved in the construction. The building was designed by the neo-classical architect Thomas Hardwick, designer of St Marylebone Parish church. The design style was Greek (Ionic), though it features a slender spire, traditionally a Gothic feature. Construction was completed in July 1824 and cost £17,000. In its original layout and with galleries on three sides the church had space for 1600 worshipers; it was consecrated as St Barnabas, King Square on 12 June 1826.

It is a Grade II listed building and occupies a prominent position on the west side of Streatham High Road, at its junction with Tooting Bec Gardens and Mitcham Lane. Parish Streatham is an ancient parish which is mentioned in the Domesday Book and originally included land in the districts that are now generally known as Balham and Tooting Bec. In response to the great increase in the local population during the 19th and 20th centuries, parts of the area of the original parish of St Leonard's were assigned to form the whole or parts of these more newly created parishes: All Saints, West Dulwich Ascension, Balham Hill Christ Church, Streatham Holy Trinity, Tulse Hill Holy Trinity, Upper Tooting Immanuel, Streatham St Margaret the Queen, Streatham Hill St Peter, Streatham St Alban, Streatham Park St Andrew, Lower Streatham St Anselm, Coventry Park St James, West Streatham St John the Divine, Balham Hill St Mary, Balham St Mary, Summerstown St Thomas, Telford Park The Holy Redeemer, Streatham Vale The Diocese of Southwark estimates the population of St Leonard's parish was 11,293 in 2001.

In 1830–1, almost the entire church apart from the tower was rebuilt to plans by Joseph T. Parkinson. The spire, which was struck by lightning in 1841, along with the top of the tower was rebuilt soon afterwards. The present stone chancel was constructed in 1863 to designs by William Dyce and was completed under the direction of Benjamin Ferrey. Further alterations took place in 1877. William Dyce is commemorated by a memorial tablet inside the church. The church was gutted by fire in on 5 May 1975 and subsequently restored to plans by The Douglas Feast Partnership.

Infusion (roller coaster)

Infusion is an inverted roller coaster at Pleasure Beach Resort (better known as Blackpool Pleasure Beach) in Blackpool, England. It opened on 2 May 2007, and was built by Vekoma. It is a 689m Standard "Mark 3" model of the Suspended Looping Coaster (SLC), and was the first of its kind to be suspended entirely over water. History Infusion was initially located at Pleasureland Southport, Pleasure Beach's former sister park, where it was known as "Traumatizer" and sponsored by the soft drink Tizer. It opened at Pleasureland Southport in 1999. When Pleasureland Southport closed in 2006, the ride was moved to Pleasure Beach Resort, where it has operated since 2007. The ride originally featured red track with teal supports, but the track has since been repainted blue. The ride cost a total of £8 million to construct. Characteristics Infusion operates two trains. Each train has eight cars that seat two riders, for a maximum of 16 riders per train. The track is 689 metres (2,260.5 ft) long, and the lift hill is 33 metres (109 ft) tall. The ride reaches top speeds of 80 km/h (50 mph). Infusion has a maximum capacity of 832 riders per hour. The ride subjects riders to a maximum of 3.4 Gs. Ride experience Upon dispatch, the train climbs a 33 metre (109 ft) tall lift hill before arching into a steep curved incline. The train rises up into a butterfly loop (two half loops connected by a corkscrew) before pulling upwards into a banked apex. From here, the train drops sharply into a sidewinder (a loop that transitions into a corkscrew). A tight helix follows, providing a near-miss with Big Dipper, before the train straightens out and pulls into a double inline twist. The train subsequently enters a 90 degree turn before pulling downwards and ascending into the brake run. It then returns to the station. A full ride experience of Infusion lasts approximately one minute and 45 seconds. In popular culture The ride was the subject of a large marketing campaign and featured on BBC Newsround, the Daily Star and Daily Express newspapers, and GMTV. The ride was featured in a Specsavers advertisement where two elderly people rode the coaster after mistaking the ride's seats for a park bench. References External links Pleasure Beach Resort website
