Chapel of Rest, Bourne

The Chapel of Rest is a Grade II listed cemetery chapel in Bourne, Lincolnshire. It was built in 1854–5 in Gothic Revival style, and designed by the noted local architect Edward Browning. It consisted of both Anglican and Nonconformist chapels in a single building. History Construction The chapel was designed by Edward Browning in February 1854, for the new town cemetery, and opened in May 1855. It had a T-plan, forming an unusual layout of two chapels in one building, with a prominent rose window above the door in the gable on the east side, featuring geometrical tracery. It is considered of special historic interest as it is an early example of cemetery architecture outside of London, following the passing of the Burial Act 1853, by Historic England. It passed to the ownership of Bourne Urban District Council in 1899 following reorganisations of local government from the Local Government Act 1888, and then Bourne Town Council in 1974, following the former's abolition following the passing of the Local Government Act 1972. Deconsecration The chapel was officially deconsecrated at the request of the town council on the 1st of December 2004, and was subsequently used as a storage facility. In January 2007, it emerged that the local council planned to demolish the chapel due to prohibitive costs of renovation. The mayor of the town stated the council was not convinced there was enough public support to justify the cost of restoring the chapel in February 2007. However, an application to have it Grade listed by local historian Rex Needle was granted by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport on the 4th of April 2007. In July 2022, a member of the local council again floated the idea of de-listing the building to allow the option of demolition in the future, as it was again in a dilapidated state. However, extensive repairs beginning on the 22nd of August were announced to the Collyweston slate roof, in order to prevent leaks. References
Glasshouses Mill

Glasshouses Mill is a historic building in Glasshouses, North Yorkshire, a village in England. The watermill was built between 1812 and 1814 to spin flax, on the site of a corn mill. In 1835, it was purchased by the Metcalfe family, who added east and west wings, followed by a warehouse and offices in 1844, and a further warehouse in 1852. In 1851, a larger watermill was installed, designed by William Fairbairn & Sons and fed by a 10 million gallon reservoir. In 1857 a steam engine was installed, followed by a gas plant in 1864, and a water turbine in 1871. In 1878, a boiler house and joiners' shop were constructed. Several other buildings were constructed in the period, to designs by W. R. Corson, including housing, a school and chapel. In 1899, the mill was converted to spin hemp, and in 1912 it was purchased by the Atkinson family. The mill closed in 1972, and was converted to house various small businesses. It was grade II listed in 2007. In 2016, work began to convert it into housing. The mill is built of sandstone, with quoins, roofs of slate, stone slate and tile, and it is in two and three storeys. There is a U-shaped plan with three ranges around a courtyard. The central range has twelve bays, the west wing has nine bays and six to the north, and the east wing has 15 bays and an extension, and there are detached subsidiary buildings. The central block has a three-bay extension with a clock and a bell tower. See also Listed buildings in High and Low Bishopside References
Lewis's Building

The Lewis's Building is a 20th-century Grade II listed building in Liverpool, England. Purpose-built as the flagship store for the now defunct Lewis's department store chain, the building was set to be redeveloped as part of redevelopment project Central Village. History In 1856, men's and boys' clothing store Lewis's began trading from a 19th-century building on the current site. This building was eventually replaced in the 1910s and 1920s with a design by Gerald de Courcy Fraser which incorporated the adjacent Watson Building. During the Liverpool Blitz the building was mostly destroyed by bombs, requiring a rebuild which was again taken by Gerald de Courcy Fraser in 1947. The newly constructed nine-storey 420,000 sq ft store opened in 1956 and operated until 29 May 2010. Since the demise of Lewis's, the building has remained vacant apart from a branch of PureGym currently occupying the basement floor since 2015. The building was set to be redeveloped under a new project called Central Village whereby the new site would consist of 26 units with an average floor space of 620 m2 (6,700 sq ft) (although the largest unit covers 2,240 m2 or 24,100 sq ft). This would bring the total retail and leisure space in Central Village to around 24,000 m2 (260,000 sq ft), effectively making it the third largest shopping centre in Liverpool city centre behind only Liverpool One and St. John's Shopping Centre. Large amounts of office space and a 125-room Adagio hotel were to occupy the remaining floors. Sculpture To symbolise Liverpool's resurgence following World War II a statue made by Sir Jacob Epstein of a nude man was added above the building's main entrance. Its official title is Liverpool Resurgent but is nicknamed locally as either 'Nobby Lewis' or 'Dickie Lewis'. The statue was unveiled for Lewis's Centenary celebrations in 1956, which came as the blitzed store had completed rebuilding. It is a well-known local meeting place, and was immortalised in the 1962 anthemic song In My Liverpool Home by Peter McGovern: "We speak with an accent exceedingly rare, Meet under a statue exceedingly bare" References
Lewis's Building

Le Lewis's Building est un bâtiment classé de Grade II situé à Liverpool, en Angleterre. Construit à cet effet comme magasin phare de la chaîne de grands magasins Lewis's, aujourd'hui disparue, le bâtiment devrait être réaménagé dans le cadre du projet de réaménagement Central Village. Histoire En 1856, le magasin de vêtements pour hommes et garçons Lewis a commencé à commercer à partir d'un bâtiment du XIXème siècle sur le site actuel. Ce bâtiment a finalement été remplacé dans les années 1910 et 1920 par un projet de Gerald de Courcy Fraser qui incorporait le bâtiment Watson adjacent. Pendant le Liverpool Blitz, le bâtiment a été principalement détruit par des bombes, nécessitant une reconstruction qui a de nouveau été effectuée par Gerald de Courcy Fraser en 1947 . Le nouveau magasin de neuf étages de 420 000 pieds carrés a ouvert ses portes en 1956 et a fonctionné jusqu'au 29 mai 2010. Depuis la disparition de Lewis, le bâtiment est resté vacant, à l'exception d'une succursale de PureGym occupant actuellement le rez-de-chaussée depuis 2015. Le bâtiment est sur le point d'être réaménagé dans le cadre d'un nouveau projet appelé Central Village. Avec 24 000 m2 d'espace total de vente au détail et de loisirs, cela en fera le troisième plus grand centre commercial du centre-ville de Liverpool derrière Liverpool One et le centre commercial St. John's. De grands espaces de bureaux et un hôtel Adagio de 125 chambres occuperont les étages restants . Sculpture Pour symboliser la résurgence de Liverpool après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, une statue réalisée par Sir Jacob Epstein d'un homme nu a été ajoutée au-dessus de l'entrée principale du bâtiment. Son titre officiel est Liverpool Resurgent mais est surnommé localement « Nobby Lewis » ou « Dickie Lewis ». La statue a été dévoilée pour les célébrations du centenaire de Lewis en 1956, alors que le magasin bombardé avait achevé sa reconstruction. C'est un lieu de rencontre local bien connu, et a été immortalisé dans la chanson hymne de 1962 In My Liverpool Home de Peter McGovern (en) : « Nous parlons avec un accent excessivement rare, Rendez-vous sous une statue excessivement nue » Notes et références Portail de Liverpool Portail de l’architecture et de l’urbanisme Portail des monuments classés au Royaume-Uni

St Joseph's Church, Newby

St Joseph's Church is a Catholic church in Newby, a village near Scarborough, North Yorkshire, in England. Local Catholics purchased a site in Newby in 1930, with the intention of building a church. Progress was slow, partly due to World War II, and in 1949 a former British Army building was erected, to serve as a mass centre. Between 1958 and 1960, a church was built on the site, to a design by Francis Johnson. The building cost about £35,000 and on completion, it was given its own parish. It was extended in 1970, with the addition of a further chapel, while in 1993 the baptistery was converted into a chapel of remembrance. The building was grade II listed in 2007. Historic England praises the west front, its design inspired by the work of Enrico Del Debbio and Grundtvig's Church in Copenhagen. The church is built of brown brick with stone dressings, statues in Doulting stone, and a pantile roof. It consists of a nave, an organ loft, and a chancel flanked by chapels and vestries. At the west end are projecting staircase towers containing niches with statues, square windows in the returns, and surmounted by obelisks. The central doorway has a segmental arch, it is flanked by a blind arcaded screens, and above it is a Calvary, a round window, and a bellcote with a cross. The nave windows are mullioned and transomed, with three lights and arched heads. Inside, the original decoration, furnishing and fittings survive, and the windows have handmade glass, some of which is tinted.

St Thomas' Church, Green Hammerton

St Thomas' Church is an Anglican church in Green Hammerton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was designed by George Gilbert Scott as a chapel of ease to the Church of the Ascension, Whixley and was completed in 1876. The village did not previously have an Anglican church, and the construction costs of between £2,000 and £3,000 were funded by donations, co-ordinated by a Mrs Valentine, wife of the vicar of Whixley. It was designed to accommodate 130 worshippers. An organ chantry was added in 1899. One of the smallest of Gilbert Scott's churches, it is criticised by David Cole, who writes that "the heart does not warm to it", although Historic England states that "the quality of the architecture is high, as is the level of artistic achievement". It was grade II listed in 2008. The church is built of pitch-faced stone with a red tile roof. It has a cruciform plan, consisting of a nave and a chancel, transepts, an organ chantry and a porch. Between the nave and the chancel is a bellcote containing two bells. It has stained windows with glass by Clayton and Bell and James Powell and Sons.

Ripon Cabmen's Shelter

Ripon Cabmen's Shelter is a historic structure in Ripon, a city in North Yorkshire, in England. The prefabricated building constructed by Boulton and Paul was completed in 1911. The work cost £200, which was paid for by Sarah Carter, and was used by drivers of horse-drawn cabs who were waiting for fares. It is in the city's Market Place, where it is a prominent structure, used as a meeting point for ghost tours. In 1980, the Royal Engineers lifted it and mounted it on wheels so it could be moved for restoration. In 1982, it was donated to Ripon Civic Society, who in 1999 passed it to Ripon City Council.

St Joseph's Church, Weymouth

St Joseph's Church is a Roman Catholic church in Weymouth, Dorset, England. It was designed by George Drysdale and built in 1933–34. The church has been a Grade II listed building since 2009. Historic England consider it a "good example" of a church of its period, which "embodies the late flowering of Arts and Crafts principles with [the] Romanesque style". They praised the "accomplished and distinctive design" and display of "high standard craftsmanship". History The first Roman Catholic church to be built in Weymouth followed the passing of the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829. Although priests had ministered in the town beforehand, the passing of the act saw Fr. Peter Hartley appointed to the town. He purchased a suitable plot of land in Dorchester Road and had St Augustine's Church built there, which opened on 22 October 1835. By the 1920s, St Augustine's was too small to accommodate the local congregation, particularly during the peak season when holidaymakers and visitors often resulted in overcrowded services at the church. Furthermore, Weymouth's priest at the time, Fr. Jules Ketele, felt Weymouth would be adequately served by a new church in a more central location. A committee was formed in 1925 and fundraising carried out over the following years. A plot of land at Stavordale Road was purchased at the beginning of 1932 and plans for the church drawn up by Mr. George Drysdale of London. The building contract was awarded to Mr. William Lacey of Hounslow and the foundation stone laid by the Bishop of Plymouth, Rev. Dr. John Barrett, on 3 May 1933. The church was opened by Bishop Barrett on 18 April 1934. Both the church and its presbytery were constructed at a cost of over £9,000, and with their opening, St Augustine's became a chapel of ease to St Joseph's. A shrine representing the Lourdes grotto was dedicated in the grounds of the church in 1949. It was erected by Fr. Ketele following his pledge to do so if the church escaped air raid damage during World War II. It also acted as a war memorial and contains a tablet listing the local Catholic men who lost their lives during the conflict. A parish hall was opened behind the church in 1951, which was designed by Mr. G. C. Wilkins and built by Messrs A. E. Whettham and Son. Architecture St Joseph's is built of painted brick, with dressings in cast concrete and limestone, and roofing of Cornish slate. It was designed to accommodate 300 persons, and is made up of a narthex, nave, north and south aisles, clerestory, chancel, organ/choir gallery, baptistery, linked sacristy and attached presbytery. A large bell turret sits on the gable above the main entrance. The interior contains plastered walls, parquet flooring and pine pews. The church's temporary altar was replaced by a marble one in 1937 and its original organ was replaced in 1948. References External links Parish of Our Lady, Star of the Sea, Weymouth website

Hyde Town Hall

Hyde Town Hall is a municipal building in the Market Street, Hyde, Greater Manchester, England. The town hall, which was the headquarters of Hyde Borough Council, is a grade II listed building. History After significant industrial growth in the 19th century, particularly in relation to the cotton industry, Hyde became a municipal borough in 1881. Civic leaders decided to procure a town hall: the site they selected had previously been occupied by Greenfield House, the former home of John Howard, a cotton mill owner who also owned Brereton Hall. The foundation stone for the new building was laid by the mayor, Thomas Ashton, on 30 June 1883. It was designed by James William Beaumont in the neoclassical style, built in red brick with stone facings and was officially opened by the mayor, Edward Hibbert, on 27 June 1885. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with eleven bays facing onto Market Street with the last two bays at each end projected forward as pavilions; the central section of seven bays featured a doorway with a fanlight flanked by pilasters and brackets supporting an entablature and a balcony; there was a window with an open pediment containing the borough coat of arms on the first floor and a clock tower with an octagonal dome above. On the first floor there was an oriel window between the two left hand end bays to illuminate the mayor's parlour and two more oriel windows in the central section on either side of the tower. The clock and the bells were a gift from the manager of a local cotton mill, Joshua Bradley; the clock was by Potts of Leeds and the four bells by Taylor of Loughborough. Internally, the principal rooms were the council chamber, the mayor's parlour and a large public hall. After 23 miners were killed in an explosion at Hyde Colliery in January 1889, the town hall was the venue for the subsequent inquiry held into the disaster in February 1889. A large extension to the rear, which incorporated a police station, a courtroom and additional offices, was completed in 1913. A mural depicting local scenes painted by the local artist, Harry Rutherford, was installed across the top of a beam above the main staircase at the time of the Festival of Britain in the 1951. The town hall continued to serve as the headquarters of Hyde Borough Council for much of the 20th century but ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council was formed in 1974. In November 2002, a statue of two human figures designed by Stephen Broadbent was unveiled outside the building, commemorating the role of the Chartists in bringing about parliamentary reform, and, in May 2007, a statue of a seal designed by Castle Fine Arts was unveiled outside the building, commemorating the achievements of the Hyde Seal Swimming and Water Polo Club which dominated water polo and swimming in England in the early years of the 20th century. After a programme of refurbishment works, the local public library moved from Union Street into new accommodation in the town hall in March 2015.
