Katedra w Wells

Katedra w Wells (ang. Wells Cathedral, pełna nazwa Cathedral Church of St. Andrew, Kościół katedralny świętego Andrzeja) – katedra diecezji Bath i Wells Kościoła Anglii. Budowa obecnego kościoła została rozpoczęta od wschodniego szczytu, w 1176 roku, i kontynuowano ją po konsekracji w 1239 roku, ale w latach 1190-1206 prace zostały przerwane. Projektant Adam Lock, fasada zachodnia zaprojektowana prawdopodobnie przez Thomasa Norreysa. W tym czasie powstały: nawa główna, fasada zachodnia (ale nie wieże), kruchta północna, transepty i część prezbiterium. Diecezja Bath i Wells powstała w 1218 roku. Centralna wieża została rozpoczęta w 1315 roku i ukończona w 1322 roku. Zaprojektowana została przez Thomasa Witneya. Kaplica Najświętszej Maryi Panny (Lady Chapel) została rozpoczęta w 1323 roku i ukończona około 1326 roku. Zaprojektowana zapewne przez Thomasa Witneya. W tym czasie kaplica była budowlą wolnostojącą, znajdującą się na wschód od pierwotnego szczytu wschodniego. Prezbiterium zostało rozbudowane w 1330 roku, aby połączyć nową kaplicę Najświętszej Maryi Panny. Zostało zaprojektowane przez Thomasa Witneya, ale sklepienia wykonał William Joy. W 1337 roku, po stwierdzeniu osiadania podłoża i pęknieć pod nową wieżą, zbudowano wielkie łuki i wykonano inne prace, aby uchronić katedrę przed zawaleniem. Łuki zostały zaprojektowane przez Williama Joya (znane są jako łuki sitowe). Południowo-zachodnia wieża została rozpoczęta w 1385 roku i zaprojektowana przez Williama Wynforda; ukończono ją około 1395 roku. Północno-zachodnia wieża została zbudowana w 1410 roku. W tym samym roku do okien nawy głównej dodano maswerk. Centralna wieża zniszczona przez pożar w 1439 roku. Naprawa i znaczna modyfikacja projektu (projektant nieznany) zakończona została około 1450. Kaplica Stillingtona w 1477 roku (w pewnej odległości od wschodniego kapitularza) zaprojektowana przez Williama Smytha, autora sklepienia na skrzyżowaniu naw. Kaplica została zburzona w 1552 roku.

Cyberia, London

Cyberia, London was an internet cafe founded in London in September 1994, which provided desktop computers with full internet access in a café environment. Situated at 39 Whitfield Street in Fitzrovia, the cafe was founded by Eva Pascoe, David Rowe, Keith Teare and Gené Teare, and the space served as an early hub for those with an interest in computing and the Net. Cyberia was the first internet cafe in the UK, and would soon expand into a franchise, both across the UK and worldwide. Cyberia was intended to be a women only venture, providing a space in which women could learn and play with new technologies in their own space. "To be honest, I thought that all the boy nerds would be hooked up at home and they wouldn't need us. But we had this incredibly fast connection, and they couldn't wait to use our equipment. Actually we really liked that." After its launch, Cyberia soon became popular and settled down to a comfortable half and half, but it did host a weekly women's night to train in digital skills. Cyberia London basement spaces were also a thriving hub of activity. Ivan Pope's Webmedia, one of the first web design and build companies, was the first tenant occupying part of the basement. Subcyberia, home to the post-rave Sunday morning breakfast club and the cafe's gamer space, was frequented with gamers 24/7 such as Richard Bartle. Transcyberia, a "semi-nerd lab room creative technology centre" for software developers and designers, played host to a range of organisations including Michael Gurstein's Community Informatics Research Network. It would see music artists passing through - Kylie Minogue held a press event at the venue, whilst David Bowie would perform a link-up through Bowienet. Cyberia enjoyed superfast internet access as a result of their partnership with the Easynet ISP founded by Rowe and Teare, who operated from the same building as the cafe. In turn Cyberia marketed Easynet products and services and were often the first port of call for Easynet customers looking for support for their new systems. Other early investors in Cyberia included Mick Jagger and Maurice Saatchi. By the mid-1990s, around a dozen branches, some of which were franchises, opened both in the UK and abroad, including Manchester, Edinburgh, Dublin, Rotterdam, Bangkok, Manila, Tokyo and Paris. By 1996, some 200 cybercafes had opened around the world, emulating the success of Cyberia. Pascoe left the business in 1998 to pursue new projects, and the Cyberia chain was sold to South Korean investors, who re-launched as the Be The Reds internet gaming cafe in 2001. In September 2024, those connected with the original London Cyberia held a 30 years anniversary. References External links Archived Website at Wayback Machine
Cyberia (kafejka internetowa)

Cyberia – pierwsza na świecie kafejka internetowa, otwarta w Londynie przy Whitfield Street 39 we wrześniu 1994 roku przez Evę Pascoe i Gene Teare. Według pierwotnego zamysłu jej założycielek miała być ona przeznaczona wyłącznie dla kobiet, gdyż w tamtym czasie (jak argumentowały) w Anglii kobiety stanowiły zaledwie 4% brytyjskich internautów. Jednakże po tym jak o kafejce rozpisała się brytyjska prasa przeżyła ona oblężenie męskiej klienteli przez co jej założycielki zrezygnowały z niniejszej formuły Przypisy
Cyclopark

Cyclopark is a purpose-built facility for cycling and other outdoor activities, located on the south side of Gravesend, north Kent in south-east England, adjacent to the A2 dual carriageway. History The site of Cyclopark is on the old re-routed A2 road near Gravesend. The redundant A2 route between Pepperhill (suburb of Gravesend) and Marling Cross (near Cobham) was developed into a safe pedestrian, cycle and equestrian route, which also passes Cyclopark, linking it to National Cycle Route 1. Construction of Cyclopark began in January 2011 and took approximately 10 months, with the site opened officially in early 2012. Funding was provided by Kent County Council, Sport England, the Colyer-Fergusson Trust, British Cycling and the Homes and Communities Agency. It is situated in the area covered by the Thames Gateway development plan. Early test events included the Southern Area BMX Championships (15-16 October 2011), and a visit from the US Olympic BMX team. In 2014, it was on the shortlist for the 2014 Kent Design Awards. Facilities In 43 ha of landscaped parkland, the Cyclopark facilities include: 6 km of off-road trails (graded to provide separate routes for different abilities) a 2.9 km long, 6 m wide tarmac circuit (capable of being extended to 5.3 km) a 340 m BMX track children's playground skate park External links www.cyclopark.com Media related to Cyclopark at Wikimedia Commons See also Crystal Palace (circuit) Betteshanger Park Hillingdon Cycle Circuit Redbridge Cycling Centre References
D’Oyly Carte Island

D’Oyly Carte Island ist eine Insel in der Themse, England. Die Insel gehört zu Weybridge und ist Teil von Shepperton. Die Insel liegt flussaufwärts des Sunbury Lock und 200 m flussabwärts des Shepperton Lock. Vor 1890 hieß die Insel Folly Eyot. Die bewaldete Insel ist 145 m lang und zwischen 30 m und 45 m breit. Weybridge ist die Pfarrei und Post town. Elmbridge und Surrey County Council sind der District bzw. die County Verwaltungseinheiten. Geschichte Die Insel wurde nach Richard D’Oyly Carte dem Produzenten von Gilbert und Sullivan, Gründer des Savoy Theatre und des Royal English Opera House sowie Hotelbesitzers benannt. Er kaufte die Insel um 1890 und sie bekam seinen Namen. Carte baute das Hauptbauwerk auf der Insel: Eyot House. Das Haus hat einen großen Garten, den er und seine Frau gestalteten. Das Haus wurde von ihm als Wohnhaus genutzt. Carte wollte es als Erweiterung seines Savoy Hotels nutzen, da es vom Hotel aus mit dem Boot zu erreichen war, aber die örtlichen Behörden verweigerten ihm eine Lizenz zum Ausschank von Alkohol. Zu den berühmten Gästen auf der Insel, die in Cartes Haus wohnten, gehörten W. S. Gilbert und Arthur Sullivan. Cartes Witwe Helen Carte verkaufte das Anwesen nach dem Tod ihres Mannes. Eine schmale Fußgängerbrücke im brutalistischen Stil wurde 1964 gebaut. Die Insel hat einen Yachthafen mit Anlegemöglichkeit für kleine Boote.

The D-Day Story

The D-Day Story (deutsch etwa „Geschichte des D-Day“), früherer Name D-Day Museum, ist eine Ausstellung zum D-Day, also zum 6. Juni 1944, dem Tag, an dem während des Zweiten Weltkriegs die alliierte Landung in der Normandie stattfand. Die Exposition befindet sich in der südenglischen Hafenstadt Southsea. Geschichte Die Ausstellung gliedert sich thematisch in drei Abschnitte: die Vorbereitungen, die Schlacht und das Vermächtnis. Den Besuchern wird anhand von authentischen Artefakten ein Einblick in die damalige Zeit und die weltgeschichtlich bedeutsamen Ereignisse dieses einen Tages geboten. Gezeigt werden persönliche und militärische Objekte wie Uniformen, Ausrüstungs­gegenstände, Karten, Fotografien und Fahrzeuge. Die reichhaltige Palette beginnt bei kleinen Hilfsmitteln, wie einem Taschenkompass, und endet bei Kriegsschiffen, wie den für den Erfolg der Invasion unverzichtbaren Landungsbooten. Ein Glanzstück der Sammlung stellt das originale Landing Craft Tank (LCT) mit der Bezeichnung LCT 7074 dar. Es ist seit August 2020 Teil der Ausstellung und das einzige, noch erhaltene britische Landungsschiff, das an der Operation Overlord beteiligt war. Die Ausstellung The D-Day Story illustriert die Vorgeschichte, die zum D-Day geführt hat, und präsentiert den Besuchern die Ereignisse des Tages selbst anhand authentischer Exponate. Ein Teil der Sammlung kann auch online besichtigt werden. Weblinks Website The D-Day Story (englisch). Einzelnachweise
The D-Day Story

The D-Day Story (formerly the D-Day Museum) is a visitor attraction located in Southsea, Portsmouth in Hampshire, England. It tells the story of Operation Overlord during the Normandy D-Day landings. Originally opened as the D-Day Museum in 1984 by Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, it reopened as the D-Day Story, following a refurbishment funded by a £5 million Heritage Lottery grant, in March 2018. The museum building was designed by the then city architect Ken Norrish. Contents The story is told in three parts: Preparation; D-Day and the Battle of Normandy; Legacy and the Overlord Embroidery. The Legacy gallery features the Overlord Embroidery, commissioned by Lord Dulverton to remember those who took part in D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. The embroidery took twenty members of the Royal School of Needlework seven years to complete and measures 272 feet (83 m) long. It consists of 34 different panels. Film clips of veterans talking about their experiences give visitors further insight into what took place. Since August 2020, the ticket to the D-Day Story has included access to landing craft tank LCT 7074, which is displayed outside the museum. She is the last remaining D-Day landing craft of her kind. On LCT 7074 visitors can explore the tank deck, the upper deck, and the bridge deck. A Sherman Grizzly tank and a Churchill Crocodile tank are displayed on the tank deck. Other vehicles in the collection include a Sherman BARV and a DUKW amphibious vehicle. A replica landing craft personnel can be seen as part of an audio-visual display inside the museum. There are reconstructions of the operations room at Southwick House, a 1940s sitting room and an Anderson shelter. Audio guides in English and other languages are available for the museum galleries and the Overlord Embroidery. Refurbishment The museum closed in March 2017 for one year to undergo a £5 million refurbishment and allow for conservation work on exhibits. New exhibits include the "pencil that started the invasion" – the pencil used by Lt. Cdr. John Harmer to sign the order for Force G, the naval forces assigned to Gold Beach, to sail to Normandy.

D. H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum

The D. H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum preserves the writer's home of D. H. Lawrence in Eastwood, near Nottingham. It is one of the four houses the family occupied in Eastwood. Now a museum, the building, which is the house in which he was born in 1885, has been conserved as a late-19th-century working-class miner's house. It permits visitors to take guided or self-guided tours through the author's early life. The house is a Grade II listed building. Exhibition The house is presented as a late-19th-century working-class miner's house. Much of the furniture came from the family of the founder and first curator of the museum, Enid Goodband, although there are a few original items that belonged to the Lawrence's family. All artefacts are from as close to the 1880s as possible and from Nottinghamshire, so that they are authentic for the period. The house is set out as it was thought to have been when the Lawrences lived there. The significance of each room (parlour, kitchen, communal yard, washhouse, parents' bedroom, children's bedroom and attic) is highlighted, either by the interpretation boards on display, or via a staff member on a guided tour. There is a small exhibition of Lawrence's early original watercolour paintings and a DVD room that starts the tour by providing an introduction to his life in Eastwood and thereafter. Photocopies of his later paintings are also displayed. A recent addition to the collection is Lawrence's original gravestone, which has been on display since 11 September 2009—the anniversary of his birthday. Heritage Centre Prior to 2016, the Broxtowe Borough Council also supported the nearby D. H. Lawrence Heritage Centre (53.0218°N 1.3073°W﻿ / 53.0218; -1.3073; also known as Durban House Heritage Centre), which contained exhibitions about the social history of Eastwood and other facilities. In 2015, the council voted to close the building and merge the centre with the birthplace museum as a money-saving measure. The centre contained an exhibition on the social history of Eastwood during the time that the writer lived there, including information on the educational system, mining, trams, and retail shops, along with D. H. Lawrence and the people who were affiliated with him. In addition there was an art gallery, a bistro, conference rooms, and civil wedding, funeral, birthday and education facilities.

Daily Express Building, London

The Daily Express Building (120 Fleet Street) is a Grade II* listed building located in Fleet Street in the City of London. It was designed in 1932 by Ellis and Clark to serve as the home of the Daily Express newspaper and is one of the most prominent examples of art-deco / Streamline Moderne architecture in London. The exterior features a black façade with rounded corners in vitrolite and clear glass, with chromium strips. The flamboyant lobby, designed by Robert Atkinson, includes plaster reliefs by Eric Aumonier, silver and gilt decorations, a magnificent silvered pendant lamp and an oval staircase. The furniture inside the building was, for the most part, designed by Betty Joel. The Grade II* listing relates not only to the architectural features but also to the massive reinforced concrete stacked portal frame structure designed by Sir Owen Williams. As part of a redevelopment of the surrounding site the building was entirely refurbished in 2000 by John Robertson Architects. The foyer was recreated largely from photographs and the façade completely upgraded. The concrete portal frame structure was preserved. The lobby of this building was open to the public on London Open House day, over the weekend of 19 and 20 September 2009. Members of the public were allowed to view the lobby, which is normally only accessible to employees of the building and invited guests. The building is currently occupied by Goldman Sachs. Sister Express buildings in Manchester and Glasgow The company also constructed two sister buildings of similar design during this period. The Express Building, Manchester (1939) was critically acclaimed as the best of the three due to its superior exterior design and better site and was the only one of the three to be architecturally designed by Sir Owen Williams. The 1936 building in Glasgow housed the offices of the Glasgow Herald and Evening Times newspapers from 1980 to circa 2000, but has now been converted into flats. In the media The building, the paper and its best remembered editor, Arthur Christiansen (who in reality had already relinquished the role), featured in the British science fiction film The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1961), in which actors Edward Judd and Leo McKern have leading roles. The satirical magazine Private Eye invariably referred to the building, in the days when it was occupied by the Daily Express, as 'The Black Lubyanka'. References
