Tonbridge Castle

Tonbridge Castle er et slot i byen af samme navn i Kent i England. Historie Efter den normanniske erobring af England fik Richard Fitz Gilbert et stykke land i Kent for at kunne bevogte stedet, hvor man krydsede Medway. Han byggede en simpel motte-and-bailey-befæstning på stedet. For at udgrave voldgraven og opføre motten blev der fjernet omkring 50.000 tons jord. I 1088 gjorde de Clare-familien (efterkommere af Fitz Gilbert) oprør mod Vilhelm 2., og hans hær belejrede borgen. Efter at have modstået den i to dage faldt borgen, og som straf lod kongen brænde slot og by ned til grunden. Før 1100 erstattede de Clare'sne trætårnet med et keep i sten. Det blev forstærket i 1200-tallet, og i 1295 blev der opført en stenmur omkring byen. Den dobbelttårnede portbygning blev bygget af Richard de Clare, tredje jarl af Hertford eller hans søn Gilbert. Konstrukionen af porthuset tog 30 år, og det stod færdigt i 1260. Porthuset har mange ligheder med dem på Caerphilly Castle, der blev bygget af Gilbert i 1268-1271. Englands segl blev opbevaret her midlertidigt under et af Edwards besøg i Frankrig. Mellem 1521 og slutningen af 1700-tallet var slottet kun beboet i en kort periode under den engelske borgerkrig. Palæet blev tilføjet 1793. Både slot og palæ er Grade I-listede bygninger. Området blev købt af byrådet i 1900, som nu bruger palæet til kontorer, og som har gjort udendørsområderne til en offentlig park. Slottet er også start på en knap 10 km lang cykelrute til Penshurst Place, The Tudor Trail.

Tonbridge Castle

Tonbridge Castle is a 13th century castle situated in Tonbridge, Kent, England. Early history Following the Norman Conquest, Richard Fitz Gilbert was granted land in Kent to guard the crossing of the River Medway. He erected a simple Motte-and-bailey castle on the site. To dig the moat and erect the motte 50,000 tonnes of earth were moved. In 1088, the de Clare family (descendants of Fitz Gilbert) rebelled against King William II. His army besieged the castle. After holding for two days the castle fell and as punishment the king had both the castle and the town of Tonbridge burnt to the ground. Before 1100, the de Clares replaced the wooden castle with a stone shell keep. This was reinforced during the thirteenth century, and in 1295 a stone wall was built around the town. The twin-towered gatehouse was built by Richard de Clare, third Earl of Hertford or his son Gilbert. Construction of the gatehouse took 30 years, being completed in 1260. The gatehouse shares many similarities with the ones at Caerphilly Castle built by Gilbert in 1268–1271. The great seal of England was temporarily kept here during one of Edward I's visits to France. The castle was not lived in between 1521 and the late 18th century, except for a short period during the civil war. The mansion was added in 1793. Both castle and mansion are Grade I listed buildings. Modern history The site was purchased by the local council in 1900, who now use the mansion as offices, and who made the grounds a public park. The castle is also the start of a 6-mile cycle ride to Penshurst Place called The Tudor Trail.

Château de Tonbridge

Le château de Tonbridge est un château du XIIIe siècle situé à Tonbridge, dans le Kent, en Angleterre. Histoire À la suite de la conquête normande, Richard Fitz Gilbert obtient des terres dans le Kent pour garder la traversée de la rivière Medway. Il érige sur le site un simple château de Motte-et-Bailey. Pour creuser les douves et ériger la motte, 50 000 tonnes de terre sont déplacées. En 1088, la famille de Clare (descendants de Fitz Gilbert) se révolte contre le roi Guillaume II. Son armée assiège le château. Après avoir tenu pendant deux jours, le château tombe et, en guise de punition, le roi fait brûler le château et la ville de Tonbridge. Avant 1100, les de Clares remplacent le château en bois par un donjon en pierre. Celle-ci est renforcée au XIIIe siècle, et en 1295 un mur de pierre est construit autour de la ville. La guérite à deux tours est construite par Richard de Clare, troisième comte de Hertford ou son fils Gilbert. La construction de la guérite dure 30 ans et s'achève en 1260. La guérite partage de nombreuses similitudes avec celles du château de Caerphilly construit par Gilbert en 1268-1271. Le grand sceau d'Angleterre est temporairement conservé ici lors d'une des visites d'Édouard Ier en France. Le château n'est pas habité entre 1521 et la fin du XVIIIe siècle, sauf pendant une courte période pendant la guerre civile. Le manoir est ajouté en 1793. Le château et le manoir sont des bâtiments classés Grade I. Le site est acheté par le conseil local en 1900, qui utilise maintenant le manoir comme bureaux et qui fait du terrain un parc public. Le château est également le point de départ d'une balade à vélo de 6 miles jusqu'à Penshurst Place appelée The Tudor Trail.

Tonge Hall

Tonge Hall is a Grade II* listed Elizabethan manor house located in Tonge, Middleton, Greater Manchester, England. History The manor of Tonge belonged in medieval times to the Tonge family but passed into other hands. The hall was built around 1584 and in 1890 was purchased by Asheton Tonge, a descendant of the original owners. After that the hall was acquired by Albert Wolstencroft, Mayor of Middleton and inherited by his son Captain Norman Wolstencroft. He left the area, leaving the building unoccupied and unprotected. In 2007 it was severely damaged in a suspected arson attack, which destroyed the roof. Rochdale Borough Council purchased the building from the owner for a nominal sum; in 2014 works were done to stabilise the building. The building has been assessed and repairs have been planned. In 2023 the hall remained in a derelict state. As of February 2025, the hall is protected by scaffolding and tarpaulin. Historic England lists it as at "immediate risk of further rapid deterioration or loss of fabric". Although proposals have been made to repurpose the building for residential or community use, no formal plans have been implemented. Restoration costs are estimated at between £1.2 and £1.5 million, with the council continuing to seek funding to secure its future. Architecture The hall is the remaining part of a black and white timber and plaster house standing on a low stone base but in an advanced state of decay and dilapidation following years of neglect and an arson attack. It stands on high ground above the valley of the Irk overlooking the town of Middleton. It consists of the central and eastern wings of a once larger building, two storeys in height, with original timber and plaster construction on the north and east sides. The south and west sides were rebuilt in brick. The exterior timber-work consists of roughly-shaped black-painted beams and posts with square quatrefoil panels. The roofs are covered with grey stone slates with chimney stacks of brick set diagonally on a square base.

Bunhill fields

Bunhill fields är en park belägen i en före detta begravningsplats i London i England. Den är på omkring 4 hektar och i den södra delen står gravstenar tätt och inhägnat med gångar emellan. I den norra delen finns öppna gräsplaner. Ordet Bunhill kan härstamma från bone hill, ungefär benkullen, och enligt en tradition var det även en förkristen saxisk begravningsplats. Förmodligen härstammar namnet från 1500-talet när stora mängder ben flyttades från ett benhus som tillhörde den gamla Sankt Paulskatedralen. Kyrkogården öppnade 1685 och var en protestantisk kyrkogård som dominerades av nonkonformister, det vill säga motståndare till Engelska kyrkan. Den ligger i närheten av John Wesleys, grundaren av metodistkyrkan, bostad och kapell och i närheten har kväkarna en mötesplats. Här ligger även John Bunyan, Daniel Defoe, poeten William Blake samt John Wesleys mor Susanna Wesley begravda. När den stängdes 1855 hade 120 000 personer begravts här. City of London öppnade begravningsplatsen som park redan 1867. Den drabbades svårt av andra världskrigets bombningar under slaget om Storbritannien och under 1960-talet genomgick den en omfattande restauration under ledning av landskapsarkitekten Peter Shepheard. Gravstenarna placerades tätt i den södra delen av parken för att visa hur begravningsplatserna såg ut i London i början av 1800-talet. I norra delen finns öppna gräsytor.

Tooley's Boatyard

Tooley's Boatyard is a dockyard on the Oxford Canal in the centre of the town of Banbury, Oxfordshire, England. The opening of the Oxford Canal from Hawkesbury Junction to Banbury on 30 March 1778 gave the town a cheap and reliable supply of Warwickshire coal. In 1787, the Oxford Canal was extended southwards, finally opening to Oxford on 1 January 1790. The canal's main boat yard in Banbury was the original outlay of today's facility at Tooley's Boatyard, which is an officially listed cultural site. Prior to the arrival of James Brindley's Oxford Canal in 1779, the canal-side area comprised an undeveloped, low-lying water meadows. The canal was then extended to Oxford by Banbury's engineer, John Barnes in 1790. Both Parker's Wharf and Bridge Wharf were serviced by fly-boats to many distant cross-country destinations and by market boats to Oxford and Coventry. The canal brought much growth and prosperity to Banbury over the years and is still popular with boat users today. Tooley's is the oldest continuous working dry dock in Britain and was established to build and repair the wooden horse-drawn narrow boats which regularly travelled up and down the newly constructed Oxford Canal network. This is why it was so vital to the development of the Industrial Revolution in Banbury. Over the years road haulage and the railways eroded away the importance of the canals, although they regained their local importance during the Second World War. Tooley's was lately immortalised in Tom Rolt's popular 1944 book Narrow boat, which was re-released in the 1990s when the boatyard's future was threatened. The yard kept on working up until 1995, and is a scheduled Ancient Monument and run by a private company in trust. Its fully restored workshops date from the 1930s and include a carpenter's store, a steam-powered belt-driven machine workshop, a paint store and a 200-year-old forge where a blacksmith pursues his trade. A blue plaque to Mr Rolt was unveiled at Tooley's Boatyard, Banbury on 7 August 2010 as part of the centenary celebrations of his birth.

Tootal, Broadhurst and Lee Building, Manchester

The Tootal, Broadhurst and Lee Building (currently marketed as The Tootal Buildings) at 56 Oxford Street, in Manchester, England, is a late-Victorian warehouse and office block built in a neo-Baroque style for Tootal Broadhurst Lee, a firm of textile manufacturers. History The warehouse was designed by J. Gibbons Sankey and constructed between 1896 and 1898. It has been designated a Grade II* listed building. Nikolaus Pevsner's The Buildings of England describes the warehouse as "large, in red brick striped with orange terracotta, but comparatively classical". The entrance has a "massive central round-headed doorway with banded surround and cartouche dated 1896, set in (an) architrave of coupled banded columns and (a) broken pediment". The interior has been redesigned, but a First World War memorial by Henry Sellers has been retained, being "marble, with a niche from which the figure (has been) stolen". Behind the warehouse but not visible from Oxford Street is Lee House, the stub of what would have been the tallest building in Europe at 217 ft (66 m), a 17-storey warehouse belonging to the same firm (planned 1928; part completed 1931). Both Churchgate House and Lee House are on the north bank of the Rochdale Canal; Great Bridgewater Street is immediately to the north of them. Occupants As of 2024, the building hosts the headquarters of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, including the office of the Mayor of Greater Manchester; until he became an MP in June 2026 Andy Burnham was the mayor.

Much of the finance was donated by Ella and Violet Wills, daughters of Sir Edward Payson Wills, 1st Baronet. The new facility was officially opened in 1928 by Lord Mildmay. Ceramic picture tiles, manufactured by W.B. Simpson and Sons, and depicting nursery rhymes and rural activities were installed in the children's ward. A chapel, which had been designed by Charles Holden, was added in 1930. The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948. Services The hospital contains an accident & emergency department, which is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and has a grass helipad.
