Woodheys Park

Woodheys Park, also known as Pinky Park, is a park which is located at Kenmore Road, off Woodhouse Lane in Sale, Greater Manchester with an entrance on Link Road. The park is approximately 7.5 hectares (18.53 acres) in size and is situated close to the popular catchment areas of Sale, Broadheath and Timperley. The park has several facilities as well as a woodland retreat. History Woodheys Park was opened in the early 1970s. The site is known to locals as 'Pinky Park' because pigs from a field across the neighbouring brook frequently strayed into the park. The park fell into disrepair during the 1990s but has been revised after the turn of the century turning it into a central community resource. The Friends of Woodheys Park have invested a considerable amount of time and effort restoring and improving the park for the surrounding area. With more housing development occurring around it in the last three or four years this has helped increase local house prices by providing a safe place for families to meet and play. In 2006, a fence was erected around the park by the council to improve security of the park at night, creating mixed feelings among local residents. Park facilities The park has an 18-hole pitch and putt course, a play area for children under 7, a five a side football pitch, a smaller pitch with cricket stumps and goalposts, a meeting room available for hire, and public toilets, which are open for the duration of the park opening.

In September 2022, parents at the school complained that under the school's new uniform policy, their daughters were told their trousers were "too tight" despite them being purchased from official suppliers. One parent claimed that female pupils were told to "lift their shirts up" so that staff could check their trousers. The school denied it had threatened any students with "exclusion" and said that students being told their trousers were too tight was "in relation to the school’s new stronger enforcement of their uniform rule".

Woodhorn (museum)

Woodhorn Museum, part of North East Museums and formerly known as Woodhorn Colliery Museum and Woodhorn Charitable Trust, is located in Ashington, Northumberland, England. The museum depicts the lives of coal mine workers and features original buildings and equipment from the former colliery, including the two headframes, a winding house, other engine houses, a steam winding engine, stables, a building with ventilation equipment, a blacksmith and joiners shop, and the office. Several buildings contain original equipment and mining exhibits, while others have been converted to museum exhibit areas or wedding, conference and event facilities. In addition to exhibits about the mine and the life of a miner, the museum features a permanent collection of art created by the Ashington Group. There are also changing exhibits of history, art and science. Woodhorn hosts the annual Northumberland Miner's picnic each year. Woodhorn Museum architecture The museum was first opened in 1989 but following major redevelopment with chief architect Tony Kettle, the museum reopened in October 2006. Now the buildings are protected with listed status and the location is recognised as a scheduled monument as it is the most well preserved example of a late 19th- to early 20th-century colliery in the North East of England. Kettle was inspired by monster coal cutting machines when redeveloping the new building, the Cutter, which sits alongside the original colliery buildings. The architecture and the museum contents, through displays, paintings, temporary exhibitions and archives tell Northumberland's story. The headframes were refurbished in 2026. Woodhorn Railway Woodhorn Narrow Gauge Railway is a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge railway at Woodhorn in the Queen Elizabeth II Country Park. There are two preserved locomotives. One is a Hunslet Locomotive, which was built in 1975 for work at Vane Tempest colliery in Seaham. The second is a German Schoma locomotive, called Edward Stanton, which was used in the factory where the concrete sections were made for the Channel Tunnel. There are also three carriages called Eddie, Harry and Ken. They and the Schoma are named after original members of the society. The park also features a 40-acre (160,000 m2) lake and hiking and biking trails. History The original colliery in the village of Woodhorn opened in 1894 and closed in 1981. The Woodhorn Colliery Museum opened in 1989, using the original pit buildings. The pit yard was designated a scheduled monument in 1999. From 2002-2006 new construction created a new museum building that includes the Northumberland County Archives. The Museum joined North East Museums (formerly Tyne and Wear Archives and museums) in 2025.

Woodhouse Cemetery

The Leeds General Cemetery (also known as Woodhouse Cemetery, Woodhouse Lane Cemetery and, since its closure in 1969, St George's Fields) is a former cemetery in Woodhouse, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It is now within the campus of the University of Leeds and has been landscaped and kept as an open space. Some original monuments and the cemetery chapel remain. History The Leeds General Cemetery Company Limited was set up in 1833 to create a new cemetery as that of the parish church was full. The cemetery opened in 1835, and a total of 93,569 interments took place in it. In 1956 the University of Leeds acquired a majority shareholding in the company and the University of Leeds Act 1965 (c. xix) was passed which allowed the university to remove monuments and create a public open space. The company went into voluntary liquidation in 1967 and the last burial took place in October 1969. From March to November 1968 contractors removed the headstones and memorials, some of which were subsequently collected by Leeds City Museum, some retained and the rest covered with soil which was then grassed over and landscaped. There were no exhumations. The space re-opened to the public in 1969 as St George's Fields (the name of the area before the cemetery was created). It is valued as a quiet space within the busy campus. Monuments and burials Notable surviving monuments include those of circus proprietor Pablo Fanque (1796-1871), who was mentioned in the Beatles song "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" from the LP Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and his wife Susannah Darby, and the 1892 Leeds Fire Brigade Memorial. Other notable people who were buried in the cemetery include Leeds artist Atkinson Grimshaw (1836-1893), Victoria Cross holder Charles Hull (1890-1953), Ann Carr (1783-1841) who led the Female Revivalist Society, and Wilson Armistead, abolitionist and founder of the Leeds Anti-Slavery Association. A total of 105 Commonwealth service personnel of both World Wars were buried in this cemetery. Because their graves could no longer be maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, they are commemorated by name on a Screen Wall memorial in Lawnswood Cemetery in the same city. Listed buildings The cemetery chapel, built in 1835, is grade II listed along with a statue of Michael Sadler. The cemetery lodge, the Leeds Fire Brigade Memorial and several groups of monuments are also grade II listed. Burial records Leeds University Library holds an archive of the Leeds General Cemetery Company and the indexed burial registers, which have been digitised and can be searched and viewed freely online.

In September 2018, Woodkirk celebrated 70 years since its original opening. School shows Each year since the early 1960s the school has staged a public production.

Woodlands Memorial Ground

Woodlands Memorial Ground is a rugby stadium in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, England. It is the home of Fylde Rugby Club and was the home of the Blackpool Panthers between 2006 and 2010. The Northern Rail Nines group matches, quarter and semi finals were held at the ground in July 2009, with the finals taking place at Bloomfield Road, Blackpool. An official capacity figure provided by the club in 1990 was that the Woodlands could hold a total of 7,500 spectators – 7,000 standing and 500 seated - with relatively little changed since then. Other estimates had the ground capacity being 9,000 but this seems high by modern safety standards. History Fylde Rugby Club was founded in 1919 and first used the Woodlands for rugby union in May 1920. During the Second World War, the Army took over the ground. In 1946, the President, G.W. Parkes, welcomed back members from the forces, and the ground was purchased for £7,000. It was named the Woodlands Memorial Ground in recognition of those members who gave their lives during World War II. In the 1950s, the dressing rooms were erected. In 1964, the second England trial was held at Fylde, and Sir Laurie Edwards opened the new pavilion extension. In 1970, the North West Counties played the Fijian Tourists at the Woodlands attracting a record gate of 7,600. Fylde Rugby Club ran up significant debts in trying to compete in National One in 1997-9 and had to sell a small portion of the Woodlands grounds to re-establish financial health. With the receipts of the sale, a period of redevelopment of facilities of all kinds at the Woodlands began in January 2005. The new clubhouse opened in October 2005 and houses 500 people. In June and July, Blackpool Panthers played three rugby league games at Woodlands while Bloomfield Road was being reseeded. The Blackpool Panthers beat Keighley Cougars and Workington Town and lost to Gateshead Thunder. In October 2006, a contract was signed between the Blackpool Panthers and Fylde R.F.C. for an initial period of six years, covering the seasons 2007–2012. The administrative and commercial base of the Blackpool Panthers, as well as the National League games, moved to the Woodlands Memorial Ground. International rugby union returned to the ground in February 2015 when the England Counties XV played the Scotland Club XV for the first time.
