Russell Court

Russell Court is a modernist apartment block in Woburn Place, in the Bloomsbury district of London, on the corner with Coram Street, just north of Russell Square. It was designed by George Val Myer and Francis Watson-Hart on an L-shaped plan with a curved recess on the corner and a motor garage below. It is one of a number of large apartment blocks built in London in the 1930s and has 501 small "bachelor flats" intended for students and people of modest means. Today, the freehold of the property is collectively owned by the flat leaseholders. Location Russell Court is on the east side of Woburn Place, on the corner with Coram Street, just north of Russell Square and near the University of London. It occupies an L-shaped site with one pedestrian entrance in Coram Street and two more in Woburn Place. Behind Russell Court is a grade II listed building: the Daimler Car Hire Garage built 1931. Note that Russell Court is not itself a listed building. Construction The building was a project of the London solicitor Gerald Glover, who specialised in real estate development, and is one of a number of very large blocks of flats erected in 1930s London. It was built in 1937 by Mowlem and replaced a row of Georgian terraced houses, latterly converted to small hotels. Design Russell Court was designed by George Val Myer and Francis Watson-Hart. Myer was also responsible for the BBC's Broadcasting House in Langham Place. The block was built to provide "bachelor flats", also referred to as "flatlets" and "service flats", affordable accommodation for university students and people of modest means. It has 501 units over nine storeys, most of which are studio and one-bedroom flats. A block with a similar function is White House in Albany Street, Regents Park, which later became a hotel. Both are distinct from the large four to seven-room flats ("mansion flats") built at that time. The building has a curved recess on the corner of Woburn Place and Coram Street below which was originally a Moon's garage and petrol station on the ground and lower floors later known as the Russell Court Garage. Daimler Hire Limited, representing Hertz, were operating from the site in the 1950s, hiring-out a variety of motor vehicles, while Hertz Rent a Car advertised it as one of their locations in the 1960s. The garage was later an NCP car park. Today As of 2023, the garage site on the corner with Coram Street is a branch of Shurgard Self-Storage who acquired the site from CitySpaces Self Storage in 2021. The freehold of the block is owned by Russell Court (Bloomsbury) Management Limited, a company owned by the flat leaseholders and is responsible for the upkeep of the building.

Culcheth Linear Park

Culcheth Linear Park is a park in the district of Culcheth, Warrington, England. Like the Black Bear Park and sections of the Trans Pennine Trail, Culcheth Linear Park is built on former railway tracks. This park lies on a section of the former Wigan Junction Railways. The line was first opened to goods in 1878 and was later connected to Wigan Central, Glazebrook, Lowton St Mary's, and Culcheth. At the outbreak of World War II, lines were connected to the Royal Naval Aircraft Training Establishment at Culcheth (HMS Ariel) and the Royal Ordnance Factory at Risley. Following the Beeching Report of 1964, the line was closed. On 21 December 1970, part of the former rail route was conveyed to Golborne Urban District Council. In 1974, Golborne UDC was split between two newly created local authorities: the Borough of Warrington and the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan. The portion of the rail route that was acquired by Warrington was converted into a new park. Today it is home to many local community projects and a variety of wildlife. There are also some limited facilities for sport. In February 2023, the park garnered worldwide attention as the location of the murder of teenager Brianna Ghey.

Culcheth Linear Park

Culcheth Linear Park este un parc din districtul Culcheth⁠(d), Warrington, Anglia. Similar cu Black Bear Park⁠(d) și secțiuni ale Traseului Trans Pennine⁠(d), Culcheth Linear Park este construit pe foste linii de cale ferată. Acest parc se află pe o secțiune a fostei căii ferate Wigan Junction⁠(d). Linia a fost deschisă pentru prima dată pentru mărfuri în 1878 și a fost ulterior conectată la Wigan Central, Glazebrook, Lowton St Mary's și Culcheth. La izbucnirea celui de-Al Doilea Război Mondial, liniile au fost conectate la Centrul de Antrenament Aeronaval Regal din Culcheth (HMS Ariel) și la Fabrica Regală de Muniție din Risley⁠(d). În urma raportului Beeching⁠(d) din 1964, linia a fost închisă. Pe 21 decembrie 1970, o parte din fosta rută feroviară a fost transferată Consiliului Districtual Urban Golborne (Golborne UDC). În 1974, Golborne UDC a fost împărțit între două autorități locale nou create: Districtul Warrington⁠(d) și Districtul Metropolitan Wigan⁠(d). Porțiunea din ruta feroviară achiziționată de Warrington a fost transformată într-un nou parc. Astăzi găzduiește numeroase proiecte comunitare locale și o varietate de animale sălbatice. Există, de asemenea, câteva facilități limitate pentru sport. În februarie 2023, parcul a atras atenția la nivel mondial, deoarece a fost locul crimei adolescentei Brianna Ghey.

Royal Court Theatre

Das Royal Court Theatre ist ein Theater in London. Es befindet sich am Sloane Square im Stadtteil Chelsea. Geschichte Eröffnet 1870 unter dem Namen The New Chelsea Theatre, erhielt es 1871 den Namen Court Theatre. Das jetzige Theatergebäude wurde 1888 als New Court Theatre neu erbaut. Von 1904 bis 1907 unter der gemeinsamen Leitung von John Eugene Vedrenne und Harley Granville-Barker gab es wichtige Impulse nicht nur zur Etablierung von Dramatikern wie George Bernard Shaw, sondern auch zur Förderung des Repertoiresystems. Nach der Umwandlung 1932 in ein Kino, wurde das New Court Theatre 1940 ausgebombt und 1952 als Theater wiedereröffnet. Seit 1956 Sitz der English Stage Company, stand es bis 1965 unter der künstlerischen Leitung von George Devine, danach bis 1972 unter der von William Gaskill. Das Royal Court Theatre entwickelte sich neben der Royal Shakespeare Company und dem Royal National Theatre zum wichtigsten britischen Subventionstheater, insbesondere für das avantgardistische zeitgenössische Drama und ein vorwiegend intellektuelles bürgerliches Publikum. So erlebte beispielsweise Samuel Becketts Einakter Endspiel hier 1957 seine Premiere. Aber auch Klassiker kamen zur Aufführung, daneben traten Neuinszenierungen vergessener Stücke. Die English Stage Company förderte besonders junge Autoren und ihre Erstlingswerke, darunter John Osborne mit der Uraufführung von Blick zurück im Zorn 1956, Harold Pinter, Athol Fugard, Arnold Wesker, David Storey, Edward Bond, Caryl Churchill, Howard Brenton und Christopher Hampton. 1969 wurde die Studiobühne Theatre upstairs mit 60 Plätzen eröffnet, um das Repertoire zu ergänzen und auch jungen Autoren die Aufführung zu ermöglichen. Auf diese Weise konnten Autoren wie Sarah Kane, Andrea Dunbar, Mark Ravenhill, Mick Mahoney und Rebecca Gilman gefördert werden. 1973 erlebte The Rocky Horror Show mit dem Libretto und der Musik von Richard O’Brien unter der Regie von Jim Sharman ihre Premiere. Seit 1973 finden regelmäßig Veranstaltungen des Young Writers Festival statt. 1996 erfolgte die Gründung einer Abteilung für internationale Zusammenarbeit mit innovativen Dramatikern und Theaterpraktikern. Künstlerischer Leiter des Royal Court Theatre war von 1979 bis 1993 Max Stafford-Clark. Sein Nachfolger Stephen Daldry leitete das Theater von 1993 bis 1998 und von 1998 bis 2006 Ian Rickson. Das Theater wurde von 1997 bis 2000 restauriert und modernisiert. Von 2007 bis 2013 war Dominic Cooke Leiter des Theaters, das 2010 als London Theatre of the Year ausgezeichnet wurde. Von 2013 an lag die künstlerische Leitung für zehn Jahre bei Vicky Featherstone. Zum Beginn des Jahres 2024 wurde David Byrne künstlerischer Leiter.

Ройал-Корт

«Ройал-Корт» — театр на Слоан-сквер в Вест-Энде (Лондон). Внёс заметный вклад в современное театральное искусство. С 1956 года принадлежит English Stage Company. История Первый театр Первым театром на Лауэр-Джорж-стрит у Слоан-сквер стала перестроенная церковь Ranelagh Chapel. Под названием The New Chelsea Theatre он открылся в 1870 году. В 1871 году руководителем театра стала Мэри Литтон, которая наняла Уолтера Эмдена для обновления интерьера, после чего театр был переименован в Корт. На сцене театра было поставлены несколько ранних пьес У. Ш. Гильберта, включая Randall's Thumb, Creatures of Impulse (с музыкой Альберто Рандеггера), Great Expectations (по роману Диккенса) и On Guard (все в 1871); The Happy Land (1873, в соавторстве с Э-Беккетом; наиболее противоречивая пьеса Гильберта); The Wedding March (1873, перевод водевиля Соломенная шляпка Лабиша); The Blue-Legged Lady (1874, перевод La Dame aux Jambes d’Azur Лабиша и Марка-Мишеля) и Broken Hearts (1875). К 1878 году театр управлялся совместно Джоном Хейром и У. Х. Кендалом. В 1879 году руководителем театра стал актёр, режиссёр и драматург Вильсон Барретт. В 1882 году театр снова перестраивается. Теперь он вмещает 728 зрителей (в партере, ложах, бельэтаже, балконе, амфитеатре и галёрке). После этого Артур Сесил (в труппе театра с 1881 года) стал управляющим театра совместно с Джоном Клейтоном. Помимо прочего, они поставили несколько фарсов Артура Пинеро включая The Rector, The Magistrate (1885), The Schoolmistress (1886) и Dandy Dick (1887). 22 July 1887 театр был закрыт, его здание снесено. Новый театр Сегодняшнее здание театра было построено на восточной стороне Слоан-сквер. Его открытие состоялось 24 сентября 1888 года под названием New Court Theatre. Его архитектором выступили Уолтер Эмден и Берти Крюи. Здание выполнено в свободном итальянском стиле из гладкого красного кирпича, облицовочного кирпича и камня. Зал вмещал 841 зрителя в партере, бельэтаже, амфитеатре и галёрке. В 1887 году Сесил и Клейтон передали управление театром Матильде Вуд и Артуру Чадлею. Сесил оставался в труппе до 1895 года. Первой постановкой нового театра стала пьеса Сиднея Гранди под названием Mamma. Главные роли в ней исполнили Матильда Вуд, Джон Хэйр, Артур Сесил и Эрик Льюис. В 1956 году художественным руководителем театра стал Джордж Дивайн, который создал на базе театра English Stage Company. В репертуар театра вошли новые британские и иностранные пьесы, а также несколько классических постановок. Дивайн стремился превратить Ройал-Корт в авторский театр, открывая новые имена и создавая актуальные работы, часто входившие в противоречие с цензурой. На сцене театра была поставлена пьеса Джона Осборна «Оглянись во гневе» (1956), позднее названная началом современной британской драматургии.

Royal Court Theatre

Royal Court Theatre är en teater vid Sloane Square i Chelsea i London. Det är en av Storbritanniens mest ansedda och välkända teatrar. Sedan teatern byggdes 1888 har den varit plantskola för nyskriven dramatik. Efter sekelskiftet 1800/1900 hade flera av George Bernard Shaws pjäser urpremiär på Royal Court, däribland Major Barbara. 1952 blev Royal Court hemmascen för The English Stage Company och George Devine blev teaterchef. 1956 hade John Osbornes Se dig om i vrede premiär på teatern som sedan blev hemmascenen för den generation brittiska dramatiker som blivit kända under beteckningen arga unga män. Bland dramatiker vars pjäser haft urpremiär på Royal Court Theatre kan nämnas John Arden, Edward Bond, Joe Orton, Arnold Wesker, Christopher Hampton, Nigel Williams, Howard Barker, Timberlake Wertenbaker, Jim Cartwright, Hanif Kureishi, Sarah Kane och Mark Ravenhill. 1973 hade musikalen Rocky Horror Show urpremiär här. En viktig del av Royal Court Theatres profil är att anställa husdramatiker (engelska writer in residence) som under en period får skriva direkt för teatern och som på så vis också får direktkontakt med det sceniska hantverket.

Cody Dock Rolling Bridge

The Cody Dock Rolling Bridge is a moveable pedestrian bridge in London, England at Cody Dock. The bridge is manually rolled using winches to alternate between pedestrian and boat traffic. It crosses a channel that runs from River Lea to a nearby dock. It was designed by Thomas Randall-Page and Tim Lucas, and built by Cake Industries. The concept for a rectangular rolling frame came from an article titled Roads and Wheels by mathematicians Leon Hall and Stan Wagon and an interactive exhibit of square-wheeled tricycles at the MoMath museum.

Devil’s Bridge (Kirkby Lonsdale)

Die Devil's Bridge (deutsch: Teufelsbrücke) in Kirkby Lonsdale, England, ist eine Brücke über den River Lune am südlichen Rand des Ortes und ein Grade-I-Monument. Die Steinbrücke wurde um 1370 gebaut und hat drei Bögen. Der westliche und mittlere Bogen haben eine Spannweite von je 16,69 m und der östliche Bogen hat eine Spannweite von 8,80 m. Der Name der Brücke beruht auf der Legende, dass die Kuh einer armen Frau nicht mehr über den Fluss zurückkommen konnte. Da zeigte sich der Teufel in Menschengestalt der Frau. Er versprach ihr eine Brücke zu bauen. Als Lohn erbat er sich die Seele des ersten Lebewesens, das diese neue Brücke überqueren würde. Die Frau willigte ein und kehrte am nächsten Morgen an den Fluss zurück und fand die fertige Brücke. Sie wurde von ihrem Hund begleitet, für den sie einen Leckerbissen bei sich trug. Diesen Leckerbissen warf die Frau über die Brücke, über die ihr Hund dann lief und so das erste Lebewesen war, das die Brücke überquerte. In seiner Verärgerung sprang der Teufel daraufhin von der Brücke, unter der sich ein großer durchlöcherter Stein befindet, der als Stein von der Halskette des Teufels (engl. Devil's Neck Collar) bekannt ist. In der Umgebung von Kirkby Lonsdale finden sich des Weiteren mehrere große Steine, wie der Great Stone of Fourstones, die der Teufel aus seinem Geldbeutel verloren haben soll, als er die Steine für die Brücke in Kirkby Lonsdale heranbrachte.

Canterbury Law Courts

Canterbury Law Courts, also known as Canterbury Combined Court Centre, is a Crown Court venue, which deals with criminal cases, as well as a County Court venue, which deals with civil cases, in Chaucer Road, Canterbury, England. History Historically, the quarter sessions in Canterbury had been held in the Guildhall, and it was not until 1971 that a dedicated magistrates' court complex was established in Broad Street for criminal trials. However, as the number of court cases in Canterbury grew, it became necessary to commission additional courthouse facilities to accommodate the crown court and the county court. The site selected by the Lord Chancellor's Department, on the south side of Chaucer Road, had been occupied by a military hospital, which had been re-purposed as military accommodation known as "Chaucer Barracks" by the time of the Second World War. The proposed courthouse formed part of a broader plan by Canterbury City Council to regenerate the former military site by establishing public offices there. The new building was designed by the Property Services Agency in a postmodern style, built in grey flint brick and was officially opened by the Duke of Kent in July 1995. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of five bays facing onto Chaucer Road. The central section of three bays, which was projected forward, featured a small gabled porch leading to a full height glass atrium. There was a Royal coat of arms fixed to the glass at first floor level. The central bay was flanked by a pair of square columns supporting a wooden canopy, which was projected forward. The outer bays of the central section, which were gabled, were fenestrated by pairs of casement windows on the ground floor and by oriel windows on the first floor. Internally, the building was laid out to accommodate ten courtrooms. Notable cases have included the trial and conviction of Callum Wheeler, in July 2022, for the murder of the police community support officer, Julia James. References External links Court information
Moorcock Inn, Hawes

The Moorcock Inn is a public house near the watershed between the rivers Clough and Ure, in Upper Wensleydale, North Yorkshire, England. It is adjacent to the junction of the A684 road and the B6259 road and near Garsdale railway station on the Settle–Carlisle line. The history of the inn can be traced back to the 1740s but it has been called The Moorcock only since 1840. The pub is near some long-distance paths and is popular with walkers. History The pub, built in the 1740s, is at a remote road junction at the head of Wensleydale and is named on Ordnance Survey mapping. Although its postal address is Sedbergh in Cumbria, it is actually in North Yorkshire, in the civil parish of Hawes, and at the point where the nascent River Ure turns eastwards, some 5.5 miles (8.9 km) west of Hawes, and 1 mile (1.6 km) from Garsdale railway station. The name of the pub before 1840 was listed as The Guide Post Inn. In the 1870s the pub was popular with the railway navvies living in a camp near the pub while building the Settle-Carlisle railway and the Wensleydale Line to Hawes. Some of the navvies who drank there referred to it as The Junction Inn. During that time it was fined for "allowing drunkenness [and] serving outside of permitted hours". After a train crash at nearby Ais Gill in 1910, twelve bodies were stored in the pub until they could be buried at Hawes, and the preliminary inquiry into the crash was held there since it was "the largest room for miles..". In 1975 the landlords died in a fire on the day of their retirement party. The pub, which is 1,050 feet (320 m) above sea level, is adjacent to the junction of the B6259 road and the A684. It is also on the Pennine Bridleway and near the Pennine Journey and the Dales High Way. Owing to its height at the west end of Wensleydale the Moorcock is known to be the wettest place in Wensleydale, averaging 70 inches (1,800 mm) of rainfall a year. The route of the B6259 was built in 1825 as an alternative to the through road to Mallerstang from Cotterdale. From Monday to Friday four buses per day in each direction connect Garsdale railway station and the Morcock Inn with Hawes. The pub closed in 2023, and planning documents lodged in 2024 indicate the owners intent to convert the pub into a tearoom and living accommodation. References
