The Rum Story

The Rum Story is a visitor attraction in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England. It presents the story of the rum trade and the creation of rum. It is located in an original 1785 trading shop and warehouses. The Rum Story was started with United Kingdom National Lottery funding from the Millennium Commission and opened in May 2000. It was voted Cumbria Tourism's "Small Visitor Attraction" in 2007. The Jefferson family, wine merchants, imported wine and spirits for over two centuries until 1998. Their story is covered by The Rum Story. The first of this family to move to Whitehaven was Robert Jefferson (1704-1779). He became a master mariner working in the tobacco trade from Virginia to Whitehaven. At this time, Whitehaven was a major tobacco importer, capitalising on a position relatively protected from the sequence of wars with the French. In 1832, brothers Henry and Robert Jefferson provided a mortgage on two estates in Antigua that were owned by the heirs of Rear Admiral Sir William Ogilvy (the lead executor was his son, Sir John Ogilvy, 9th Baronet). These were York's Estate (which had 146 enslaved people) and the New Division Estate (309 enslaved people) In 2025, the museum announced plans to update its exhibits to highlight Whitehaven's "glossed over" ties to slavery, using money from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The Whitehaven Harbour Commissioners, alongside the non-profit Anti-Racist Cumbria, announced they would work with historians to fact-check details. They noted that for years, the involvement of ports like Whitehaven in the slave trade had not been accurately represented. This meant that "intergenerational consequences, including trauma had been ignored". There had been "active avoidance or euphemism", with terms such as "shipping" or the "Virginia Trade" bring used to refer to slavery.

Ruskin School of Art

The Ruskin School of Art (RSA) is the academic department for fine arts at the Humanities Division at the University of Oxford in Oxford, England, United Kingdom. History The Ruskin School of Art grew out the Oxford School of Art, which was founded in 1865 and later became Oxford Brookes University. It was headed by Alexander Macdonald and housed in the University Galleries (subsequently the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology). In 1869 John Ruskin was appointed Slade Professor of Fine Art at Oxford. Critical of the teaching methods at the Oxford School of Art, he set out to found the Ruskin School of Drawing in 1871 in the same, but restructured, premises. Macdonald was retained as its Head and became, therefore, the first Ruskin Master until his death in 1921. The Slade School of Fine Art relocated to the Ruskin for the duration of the Second World War. It was renamed Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art in 1945, and later Ruskin School of Art in 2014. Ruskin School of Art remained at the Ashmolean until 1975 when it moved to 74 High Street. In October 2015, the Ruskin opened a second Fine Art building in East Oxford, at 128 Bullingdon Road, on the site of a former warehouse and annexe. Designed by Spratley Studios Architects, the building houses purpose-built art-facilities and studios, and won a RIBA award in 2015. The Ruskin now operates across both sites. Education The School was originally founded to encourage artisanship and technical skills. It now provides undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications in the production and study of visual art. The subject is taught as a living element of contemporary culture with a broad range of historical and theoretical references. The Ruskin remains at the top of the league tables among art schools in the UK, and was top of its category in the 2021 REF (Research Excellence Framework) exercise. Ruskin Masters The School was traditionally headed by an appointed Ruskin Master. Richard Wentworth was the last to hold this position (2002–2010). The School now benefits from rotating the post of Head of School amongst current faculty members. At present, the role is with Professor Ian Kiaer, while previous Heads of School have included Professors Michael Archer, Jason Gaiger, Hanneke Grootenboer, Brian Catling, Anthony Gardner and Kristen Kreider.

The Sentinels

The Sentinels are two 90-metre-tall (300 ft) residential tower blocks on Holloway Head in Birmingham, England. The two towers, called Clydesdale Tower and Cleveland Tower, are both 31 storeys tall and were part of a major regeneration and council home building scheme following World War II which in the 1960s and 1970s saw the construction of hundreds of tower blocks. Originally built and operated by the City of Birmingham, the buildings were part of a stock transfer from Birmingham local authority to Optima Community Association in 1999, and today the buildings are owned by Citizen housing association (itself an amalgamation of several West Midlands housing associations). The Sentinels were the tallest purely residential tower blocks in the city until the completion of the 102-metre-tall (335 ft) skyscraper Bank Tower 2 in 2019. They are also surpassed by the 132-metre-tall (433 ft) residential tower known as The Mercian located on Broad Street with 42 floors. History Planning The tower blocks were the brainchild of the Chairman of Birmingham's House Building and Housing Management Committees returning from a visit to Chicago to witness the opening of the Marina City development which consists of two 61-storey towers. The councillors decided that Birmingham needed a development similar to this and in 1965, plans began to surface for the construction of twin towers at Holloway Head to overlook the new ring road. After discussions over height, it was decided that the tower blocks should be 32 storeys tall, one storey taller than the Red Road tower blocks in Glasgow, Scotland. It was decided to construct them out of concrete, which was common among tower blocks in the city during that time. They were designed by C.Bryant & Son. Construction The project was approved in 1967 and construction of the towers commenced immediately. Cleveland Tower was completed in 1970 and Clydesdale Tower in 1971. Upon their opening, they had 488 flats. During the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis the number of gay men living in the Sentinels provoked hysteria in the media with the tabloid Daily Star interviewing one new resident who said that she wore protective gloves when touching the buttons on the lift in fear of contracting the disease. Refurbishment In 2004, the Sentinels Residents Association submitted a petition to Birmingham City Council complaining about waste facilities. They also complained about a man, who had previously threatened suicide, being rehoused on a high floor of one of the towers.

Galton Bridge

Die Galton Bridge ist eine gusseiserne Bogenbrücke in Smethwick im Metropolitan Borough Sandwell (West Midlands), die 1829 eingeweiht wurde. Sie hat eine Stützweite von 45,7 Metern (150 feet). Der Bau der Brücke wurde notwendig, als der Birmingham Canal neu angelegt wurde und dabei einige Straßen zerschnitt. Auf ihr wurde die Roebuck Lane über den Geländeeinschnitt geführt, der für den Kanal notwendig wurde. Ihr Konstrukteur war Thomas Telford, der für ihre Konstruktion auf einen einige Jahre zuvor von ihm ausgeführten Plan der Holt Fleet Bridge, einer ebenfalls gusseisernen Flussquerung, zurückgriff. Die Pläne wurden von der Firma Horsley Ironworks ausgeführt. Die Brücke wurde nach Samuel Tertius Galton (Sohn von Samuel John Galton) benannt, der damals Mitglied des Bauausschusses Smethwicks war und den Bau stark unterstützte. Die Galton Bridge steht seit 1972 unter Denkmalschutz und ist heute nur noch als Fußgängerbrücke freigegeben. Weblinks Galton Bridge, Birmingham Canal, Birmingham Level.

The Shires Shopping Centre

The Shires Shopping Centre is the central, covered shopping centre in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, England. The centre incorporates the county town's main museum and has a 1,000-space car park. As of 2009, approximately 120,000 shoppers visited the centre each week. History Excavations before the construction of the centre revealed multiple artifacts of Saxon occupation, including a church and graveyard dated to c. 850 AD, and remnants of the medieval castle; the centre's name evokes this period of Anglo-Saxon England when during the Heptarchy major affairs such as justice began to be administered by meetings at shire-level. Most of the land occupied by the centre was used in Trowbridge's woollen milling industry between the 14th and 19th centuries. Centrally within it was the last operating such facility, Salter's Home Mill, which closed in 1982 and much of which is occupied by Trowbridge Museum which opened along with the centre in 1990. The Shires was Trowbridge's second shopping centre, after Castle Place which opened in 1973. The Shires was voted Wiltshire's best shopping centre for the six years to 2009 by readers of a local newspaper. Occupiers Stores at the centre include: Bonmarché, F. Hinds, CEX, Halifax, Iceland, Peacocks, One Beyond and Superdrug. Shires Gateway This 2009 addition, built simultaneously with waterside housing and cafés, introduced fashion retailers Next and New Look, along with footwear retailer Brantano. Although its colloquial name is the Shires Gateway, its on-building name is the Gateway Trowbridge. Outline planning permission for the development was granted by West Wiltshire District Council in 2007 for the development of a site on Bythesea Road, to be named "The Shires Gateway". Having published the scheme and consulted affected businesses, the body agreed to the developer's intention to provide: "...not only much needed retail but will also see a new pedestrian street and public courtyard linking Bythesea Road and Stallard Street with boutique shops and cafés on the ground level and offices and apartments above."
