Endeavour House

Endeavour House is a municipal building in Russell Road in Ipswich, Suffolk, England. It is the meeting place and offices of Suffolk County Council. The Babergh District Council and Mid Suffolk District Council also use the building for their offices and meeting place. History The site was previously occupied by Russell House, which was once an Eastern Electricity Central Accounting Office but was demolished in 2001 to make way for the first stage of the Ipswich Village Development. Endeavour House was designed by TTSP architects and constructed by Bovis Lend Lease at a cost of £28 million between 2001 and 2003. It was originally commissioned by TXU Corporation but, in November 2002, four months before the building was due to complete TXU Corporation went into administration. In 2003 Suffolk County Council, who had previously occupied the aging County Hall in Ipswich, were able to buy the 60% completed building for only £16 million. The county council made some alterations, the main change being the conversion of an indoor garden into a 90 desk chamber for 125 councilors on the second floor. However, in September 2016, 40% of the facilities were not being used. In late 2017 Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils relocated to Endeavour House to lower their costs. East and West Suffolk Clinical Commissioning Groups also moved into Endeavour house in October 2017. Description The building has 50,000 photovoltaic cells incorporated into the glass curtain walls, this being the largest installation of any office building in Europe. At peak sunlight these cells provide 57% of the building's energy demand and also create a dark pattern on the glass. There are also rain collecting reservoirs underground which recycle the water and pump it around the building for use in toilets. The building is designed to suit corporate businesses with glass curtain walls, cantilever walkways and offices with windows that look into the concourse, forming a major improvement on the working environment at the county council's former headquarters at the East Suffolk County Hall. The building is situated at 8 Russell Road, opposite Ipswich Borough Council's headquarters at Grafton House. Portman Road Stadium is situated behind the building. There is some limited surface car parking for permit holders but there is also a large multistorey car park shared with Ipswich Borough Council with access from Constantine Road. References

Fred Longworth High School

Fred Longworth High School is a coeducational secondary school with academy status located in Tyldesley in the English county of Greater Manchester. It was established as a girls' school by Lancashire County Council in 1964. The school became comprehensive in 1976 and was awarded Arts College status in 1998. Previously a community school administered by Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council, Fred Longworth High School converted to academy status on 1 September 2011. However the school continues to coordinate with Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council for admissions. Fred Longworth High School offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils. As well as for use for pupils, some of the school facilities are also available for hire to the local community. Redevelopment Starting in 2021, the school underwent a £3.3 million reconstruction project for the Mathematics and Humanities block. Once construction was completed, the old Mathematics and Humanities block was demolished. The old area was transformed into an open space after being torn down, and the new block is three floors tall, able to hold around 20 classrooms and available space for office or staff facilities. In April 2022, redevelopment of the remaining areas of the school began, and encompassed a large section of unused fields adjacent to Hinsford CE Primary School, where it was then completed in August 2023. As of May 2024, all construction work on the main building has been completed and the school has now moved its facilities into the new area; the old building has been standing until further notice, with little to no noticeable demolition taking place, but is no longer occupied. Once demolition of the old school is completed, the free space will be turned into football fields and multi-use game areas. A sports pitch is to be re-provided by Spring 2025, where work is due to be fully complete. Though the rest of the school will be demolished, the currently standing Art block will remain as part of the new build, along with the newly constructed Mathematics and Humanities block, including small facilities at the back of the school, such as the ping-pong room and Inclusion Centre, which are expected to be turned into staff office space.

Jack Straw's Castle, Hampstead

Jack Straw's Castle is a Grade II listed building and former public house on North End Way, Hampstead, north-west London, England close to the junction with Heath Street and Spaniards Road. The site is named after the rebel leader Jack Straw, who led the Peasants' Revolt in 1381 and who is said to have taken refuge on the site until he was caught and executed. A pub has existed here since at least the early 18th century. The building was altered in the early 19th century. Charles Dickens was known to visit the pub, describing it as a place where he could get "a red-hot chop for dinner, and a glass of good wine". William Makepeace Thackeray and Wilkie Collins also visited it. It is mentioned in Bram Stoker’s Dracula, where Professor Van Helsing and Doctor Jack Seward stop to dine, and also in Harold Pinter's play No Man's Land. It was the final residence of the music hall singer Alec Hurley, who died there in 1913. The building was badly damaged in The Blitz during World War II. The current building was designed by the architect Raymond Erith and dates to 1964; speaking at Erith's memorial service in 1974, the poet laureate Sir John Betjeman called the building "true Middlesex" and "a delight". The pub closed in 2002, and was then converted to a number of luxury apartments and gymnasium. The ground and lower ground floors are now in use by Group Nexus. References Citations Sources

Beis Yaakov High School

Beis Yaakov High School is a Jewish secondary school with academy status for girls. It is in Higher Broughton, Salford, in the English county of Greater Manchester. The school primarily serves the Haredi Jewish community in Salford, Bury, and Manchester. See Beis Yaakov for a discussion of the school's philosophy and positioning. History It was founded as a private school in 1957, and became a state-funded voluntary aided school in 2005. The school converted to academy status in 2012. The school was judged "Inadequate" by Ofsted in 2014 and placed into Special Measures. The school leaders complained to Ofsted over the conduct of the inspection, claiming that pupils had "felt bullied" by inspectors’ questions about homosexuality and interfaith friendships. The School was declared as "Requires Improvement" by Ofsted in 2019. The rating was partly due to pupils not being taught about sexual orientation and gender identity. In response to this criticism, local dayan Gavriel Krausz sent leaflets to the school claiming that homosexuality was an "abomination" and that Jewish teachers should "give up their lives" rather than teach about homosexual relationships. The School was again rated "Inadequate" and placed in special measures in 2022. The first line of the 2022 Ofsted Report stated that "Over time, leaders have prioritised the needs of staff to the detriment of pupils’ education. There is a deeply entrenched culture among staff of apathy and lack of routine. Staff do not take their roles as educators seriously enough." In July 2023 a monitoring inspection concluded that the School had made some progress to address these failings but remained in special measures due to continuing inadequacies in quality of education and teaching.

In late 1951 the landlords, Whitbread, converted it to a theatrical theme and it is thought to have been one of the first English themed pubs which were popular in the mid twentieth century as brewers tried to appeal to a younger generation who were not so interested in the traditional entertainments of their parents.

The Rom

The Rom is a Grade II listed skatepark in Hornchurch, East London, England. Built in 1978 and designed by Adrian Rolt of G-Force, it is the most completely preserved purpose-built skatepark in England. It is the first skatepark in Europe to achieve listed status and the second such structure worldwide. History The Rom was built and opened in August 1978 and named after the adjacent River Rom. It was designed by Adrian Rolt of G-Force. Rolt is considered the leading skatepark designer of the 1970s. In 1979 John Greenwood took control of the Rom skatepark and kept it open for skateboarders and BMXers until 2018. In 2014 it was given Grade II listed status becoming only the second skateboard park in the world to achieve preservation status after the Bro Bowl in Tampa, Florida. Since the Bro Bowl has subsequently been 3D scanned, demolished, and rebuilt in a different location of the same park area the Rom is now the only heritage listed full size skatepark in existence. A film about the history of the park - Rom Boys: 40 Years of Rad is currently on general release on major streaming platforms. Layout The skatepark occupies an area of 8,000 square metres (86,000 sq ft). The central 4,000 square metres (43,000 sq ft) is surfaced in Shotcrete pressurised concrete.

The Rom

The Rom est le nom d'un skatepark situé à Hornchurch dans l'est de Londres. Ce skatepark a la particularité d'avoir été le premier d'Europe à être protégé comme monument historique. Présentation Construit en 1978 sur un espace de 8 000 m2, le skatepark a été nommé en référence à la rivière Rom toute proche. En 2014 The Rom devient le premier skatepark européen à être classé au titre des monuments historiques, le deuxième au monde après Bro Bowl à Tampa (Floride). En 2018, plusieurs bâtiments du site prennent feu. Cet incendie entraîne une augmentation des frais d'assurance que l'exploitant du site met en avant pour justifier la fermeture du skatepark au 1er septembre 2019.

Ipswich Crown Court

Ipswich Crown Court is a Crown Court venue which deals with criminal cases at Russell Road, Ipswich, England. It was completed in 2004. History Until the early 21st century, crown court hearings were held in the Civic Centre complex in Civic Drive, which was completed in the 1960s. After the judicial facilities in the Civic Centre were deemed to be inadequate, the Lord Chancellor's Department decided to commission a new courthouse: the site chosen formed part of the Ipswich Village Development. The new building was procured under a Private finance initiative contract in 2001. It was designed by Austin-Smith:Lord in the modern style, built by Mowlem and was officially opened by Lord Falconer on 15 October 2004. The design involved a long glazed wall, which enclosed the main hall and entrance, and a stainless steel roof which was cantilevered forward on gable walls supported by narrow columns. The gable walls, the columns and the full-height recessed wall on the extreme right, which displayed a Royal coat of arms, were all constructed from white Suffolk bricks. Internally, the building was laid out to accommodate five courtrooms. Notable cases heard at the court have included the trial and conviction of Steve Wright, in 2008, for the murder of five sex workers, the trial and conviction of Paul Clarke and Lorraine Thorpe, in 2010, for the murder of Rosalyn Hunt and Desmond Thorpe, and the trial and conviction of Stephen Anthony Searle, in 2018, for the murder of his wife, Anne Seale.

Tekels Park

Tekels Park, Camberley, Surrey consists of about 20 hectares (50 acres) of land, grassland and houses. History The estate of Frimley Manor was sold by Henry Tichborne to James Lawrell the elder for £20,000 in 1789. In 1806 the estate was divided. James Lawrell the younger kept what was referred to as Frimley Manor, while Frimley Park mansion and 590 hectares (1,500 acres) of land were sold to John Tekells. John Tekells built a house on the site now known as Tekels Castle. In 1860 Captain Knight and Major Spring bought Frimley Park. They sold Frimley Park mansion with 56 hectares (140 acres) of land to William Crompton Stansfield in 1862. They divided the remnant of the estate between themselves and each built a house. Captain Knight built a new house on virtually the same site as Tekell's previous house. The land on which Captain Knight built Tekels Castle was sold off gradually to meet the demands of new properties to support the new Army Staff College. By 1870 Tekels Park Estate was reduced to 135 hectares (333 acres) of land and was purchased by Major-General Thomas Edmond Byrne (1830–1898). He continued the process of division and when the estate was sold in 1902, to Mr. A. Wilson-Hughes, it was a fraction of its former size. In 1906 the main house burnt down, but the ancillary buildings such as the coach houses and coachman's house and stables survived. In the aftermath of the fire the property remained vacant until 1929 when the members of the Theosophical Society purchased the 34 hectares (85 acres) estate on behalf of the Society. In 1961 the members sold the estate to Tekels Park Estate Ltd. When some of the land was compulsorily purchased by the Government in 1964 as part of the M3 motorway, the society chose to sell the land cut off by the motorway from the main establishment, reducing the property to 20 hectares (50 acres), but allowing the Society to build a guest house and make other improvements to the site.

The Big Sheep

The Big Sheep is an amusement farm park located in Abbotsham, Devon, England. The site was originally Barton Farm, a busy sheep farm owned by six generations of the same family. Due to challenges in the farming community, owner Rick Turner decided to bring in more profits by turning the farm into an attraction in 1988. The site started with an animal park and restaurant. After its initial focus on agriculture yielded disappointing returns, the park began to add entertainment attractions as well. The park gained attention for its daily sheep races. The park suffered substantial losses in the 2001 outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease. In 2012 the park drew attention when Turner claimed that "needlessly pessimistic" weather forecasts by the Met Office were driving tourists away from local attractions. It also gained more exposure in March 2016 when it launched its new roller coaster but erected signs to state "no screaming" after complaints were made by local residents during the planning process. The Big Sheep was sold to entrepreneur James Sinclair in 2025. Attractions The Big Sheep features an indoor playground, animal shows, brewery, gin distillery, animal barn, Battlefield Live laser tag, outdoor playground, shops and 2 restaurants. There are also currently 8 rides including a roller coaster, farm safari ride, train ride, twister ride, piggy pull along, swan pedalos, tractor school, carousel and pony rides. During the first few months of the roller coaster's operation in 2016, it was named "The Big One". It is now named "Rampage". The roller coaster was made by Zierer and was formerly located at Metroland, the defunct indoor amusement park of the MetroCentre shopping centre in Gateshead. Throughout the year the park also hosts many live events. References External links www.thebigsheep.co.uk

The name of the pub was changed to 'The Mill House’ in 1996, but after objections from the public it was reverted to The Blue Bowl. It is currently owned by Sizzling Pubs. References
The Harp

The Harp is a public house at 47 Chandos Place, Covent Garden, London, WC2N 4HS. It was The Welsh Harp until 1995, when it was taken over by an Irish woman Binnie Walsh, who subsequently bought the pub. The pub was subsequently sold to Fuller's in 2014. In 2008 it was selected as the Society for the Preservation of Beers from the Wood's London Pub of the Year. In early 2011, it became the first pub in London to receive the ultimate accolade of being "National Pub of the Year 2010" by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA). Since then it was voted as the local CAMRA branch's Pub of the Year in every even year, being not eligible to enter in the odd years after such wins. The building is on a narrow plot with a flight of stairs leading to an upstairs room and the toilets. References
