Newcastle City Hall

Die Newcastle City Hall ist eine Konzerthalle mit 2135 Plätzen in der nordenglischen Stadt Newcastle upon Tyne. Sie ist als Grade-II-Bauwerk gelistet. Geschichte Die Newcastle City Hall wurde zusammen mit dem angrenzenden städtischen Bad, dem City Pool, im Rahmen eines städtischen Entwicklungsplans gebaut und 1927 eröffnet. Die von Harrison & Harrison gebaute Orgel kam ein Jahr später hinzu. Für die nächsten 40 Jahre gastierten hier vor allem die größeren britischen Orchester und international bekannte Solisten wie Yehudi Menuhin und Kathleen Ferrier. Ab den 1960er Jahren hielt die Pop- und Rockmusik Einzug in die City Hall: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis sowie die aus Newcastle stammenden Animals gaben hier Konzerte. Am 26. März 1971 nahmen Emerson, Lake and Palmer ihr Album Pictures at an Exhibition in der City Hall auf, wobei Keith Emerson die einleitende Promenade auf der Orgel der Halle spielte. Ein Großteil des Albums No Sleep ’til Hammersmith von Motörhead wurde ebenfalls hier aufgenommen. Neben den Musikern traten in neuerer Zeit auch Komiker wie Billy Connolly, Jimmy Carr und Frankie Boyle auf. Im November 2012 verkündete Nick Forbes vom Newcastle City Council, er sehe wegen der Haushaltskürzung von 100 Millionen £ für die City Hall keine langfristige Zukunft. Eine Unterschriftenaktion zur Rettung der City Hall mit 11.000 Unterzeichnern und ein Umdenken im Stadtrat bezüglich der Kürzungen im Haushalt rettete die City Hall im Februar 2013 vor der Schließung. Das angrenzende Bad wurde im Rahmen der Haushaltskürzung im August 2013 geschlossen. Orgel Die Orgel der Newcastle City Hall wurde 1928/29 von der Werkstatt Harrison & Harrison errichtet. Der Prospekt wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Architekten der City Hall entworfen. Aufgrund mangelnder Wartung befindet sie sich heute in einem schlechten Zustand. Der aktuell amtierende Direktor der City Hall, Peter Brennan, hält sie für den „Rolls Royce unter den Orgeln“ und Vertreter der Initiative zur Restaurierung der Orgel meinen, nach der Restaurierung könnte sie eine der großartigsten Orgeln der Welt sein.

Newcastle General Hospital

Newcastle General Hospital (NGH) was for many years the main hospital for the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, England. As part of Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust moving from three to two key sites, the hospital was closed and most of the services transferred to the city's other two hospitals, the Royal Victoria Infirmary and the Freeman Hospital. The Accident and Emergency Department and Intensive Care closed on 16 November 2010. A walk-in centre for minor ailments and injuries remained on the site. History The hospital was originally constructed as the infirmary for the Newcastle Union Workhouse. Building began in 1868 and it opened in 1870. In 1921 the administration of the hospital was separated from the Workhouse and the name was changed to the Wingrove Hospital. In 1948 the name was changed to the Newcastle General Hospital when it became part of the National Health Service. The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust reorganised the way it provided acute and tertiary health care in the city and most of the acute services at the hospital were moved to the Freeman Hospital and the Royal Victoria Infirmary between 2008 and 2010. Newcastle University bought the site in 2019 and plans to develop the UK's first health innovation neighbourhood.

Newland School for Girls

Newland School For Girls is a secondary school for girls aged 11– 16, situated in the Newland area of Kingston upon Hull, England. History Newland School was founded in 1907 to meet the growing demand for girls' education. It opened on the site of the former Central Secondary School in Brunswick Avenue. A new building was constructed for the school on Cottingham Road but was initially used as a First World War military hospital. In 1920 the school moved to its new site in Cottingham Road and was renamed Newland High School. There were 480 girls on the roll in 1911, 598 in 1936 and 680 in 1963. In 2005 Hull City Council proposed closing and consolidating Newland School with Hull Trinity House School, but after outcries from both schools the plan was shelved and modernisation of the facilities was begun. On 28 August 2007 the school celebrated its centenary. The school's unofficial song is 'The City of the Light', an old hymn which has been interpreted as an advanced metaphor for the unity needed to bring together a successful school. The school's motto 'Ad Lucem' ('to the light') is in keeping with this theme. In 2009 Newland School was listed as part of a £400 million plan to modernise all Hull schools; Newland was said to require "extensive rebuilding work". While the building work was undertaken the school relocated to the Sir Henry Cooper School site on Thorpepark Road, Orchard Park Estate. The school relocated to its original site in September 2013. Previously a community school administered by Hull City Council, in June 2017 Newland School for Girls converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the Yorkshire and the Humber Co-operative Learning Trust.

Newport Arch

Newport Arch er navnet på resterne af en byport fra 200-tallet, som blev opført af romerne under Romersk Britannien i Lincoln i Lincolnshire, England. Det er et Scheduled monument og listed building af første grad. Det skulle angiveligt være den ældste bue i Storbritannien, som stadig bruges af trafik. I maj 1964 ramte en lastbil, der var ejet af Humber Warehousing Company, porten, da den forsøgte at køre nder den. I maj 2004 ramte en anden lastbil porten, og forårsagede mindre skader. Referencer
Newport Arch

Newport Arch is a 3rd-century Roman gate in the Newport district of the city of Lincoln in Lincolnshire, England. It is a Scheduled monument and Grade I listed building and is reputedly the oldest arch in the United Kingdom still used by traffic. History The arch was remodelled and enlarged when the city, then the Roman town Lindum Colonia, became capital of the province Flavia Caesariensis in the 4th century. Though unique in the United Kingdom, it is nevertheless one of many original Roman arches still open to traffic, other examples being two gates through the city walls of the Roman town of Diocletianopolis (now Hisarya, Bulgaria), as well as numerous examples in Anatolia. As the north gate of the city, it carried the major Roman road Ermine Street northward almost in a straight line to the Humber. From Romano-British Buildings and Earthworks by John Ward (1911): A considerable portion of the north gate of Lincoln — the Newport Arch — is standing, but is buried to the extent of about 8 ft (2.4 m). in the soil and débris accumulated since Roman times. The structure is about 34 ft (10 m) deep and has a single passage for the road, 17+1⁄2 ft (5.3 m) wide. The inner or back portal of this passage is still intact, and is nearly 16 ft (4.9 m) in the clear and rises to a height of about 22+1⁄2 ft (6.9 m) above the Roman level. Its arch is of a single ring of large limestone voussoirs rising from imposts which appear to have been moulded. The outer or front arch has long since disappeared. On the east side is a postern for pedestrians, 7 ft (2.1 m). wide and contracting to about 5 ft (1.5 m). at the north end, and 15 ft (4.6 m). high from the Roman level. On the west side there was a similar postern about a century ago. The whole structure is of good masonry, and it appears to have projected considerably beyond the north face of the town wall. Accidents In May 1964 a goods lorry belonging to the Humber Warehousing Company struck the arch while attempting to pass under it. Forty years later, in May 2004, another lorry struck the arch, causing minor damage. 13 years later, in May 2017, a RASE logistics lorry got stuck underneath the arch; after letting down the tyres, it was able to reverse out with no apparent damage to the structure.

Academic standards In 2011, Newport Free Grammar School was ranked 405th out of the 429 institutions supplying A-Level results to the Daily Telegraph's annual league table based on the percentages of A*, A and B grades achieved. Following an inspection on 15 March 2006, Ofsted rated the school as good, the second-best grade on its four-point scale.
