Château de Watermouth

Le château de Watermouth est un bâtiment situé à Watermouth, près d'Ilfracombe, dans le nord du Devon, en Angleterre, conçu par George Wightwick comme résidence de la famille Bassett au milieu du XIXe siècle. Il ne s'agit pas d'un véritable château mais d'une maison de campagne construite pour en ressembler. Il est désigné bâtiment classé Grade II*. Situé près de la rive de la crique de Watermouth, près d'Ilfracombe, dans le Devon, le château abrite une collection d'antiquités victoriennes centrée sur des outils domestiques et des machines de divertissement, un parc à thème. Histoire Le château est construit par Joseph Davie Bassett (1764-1846), fils de John Davie (décédé en 1793) d'Orleigh Court, Buckland Brewer et de son épouse Eleanora Basset de Heanton Court, Heanton Punchardon. Après que sa mère soit devenue l'unique héritière de son frère sans enfant Francis Basset (décédé en 1802), Joseph Davie adopte le nom Bassett au lieu de son patronyme et prend les armoiries Bassett. Il vend Orleigh en 1807 et construit le château de Watermouth comme résidence principale. Le topographe du Devon, John Swete, visite Watermouth, avant la construction du château géorgien, dans le cadre de son voyage en 1796, et est reçu par M. Davie. Il peint la maison palladienne qui se trouvait alors sur le site et consigne la visite dans son journal. En 1908, Edith Bassett Bassett (1862-1943) (née Edith Basset Williams), mariée au capitaine Ernest Charles Penn Curzon (1856-1938) hérite du château. Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, elle commence à vendre les anciennes terres des Basset. Le château de Watermouth est utilisé comme hôpital militaire pendant la Première Guerre mondiale et, dans les années 1920, elle commence à vendre les fermes et les cottages de Berrynarbor. En 1942, elle vend la plupart du contenu du château de Watermouth. Le château passe entre les mains de nombreux propriétaires et spéculateurs immobiliers, mais est finalement acheté par Keith Wickenden (1932-1983), député conservateur de Dorking South et homme d'affaires. Il est tué dans un accident d'avion léger près de l'aéroport de Shoreham en 1983. Le château de Watermouth est acheté à Wickenden en 1977 par Richard L. Haines de Market Deeping, Cambridgeshire et son épouse. Le prix payé pour le château et 60 acres est de 50 000 £. Le château est transformé en centre de divertissement, géré par la famille Haines (en particulier les fils de Richard, Antonie et Jonathan) jusqu'en 2023, date à laquelle les propriétaires de Hobbledown « The Escapade Group » reprennent le parc.

Watford General Hospital

Watford General Hospital is a 521-bed acute District General Hospital situated on Vicarage Road, Watford, Hertfordshire. Together with Hemel Hempstead Hospital and St Albans City Hospital, it is operated by West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. History Watford General was formed at the foundation of the National Health Service utilising buildings which were formerly the Watford workhouse and, from 1929, Shrodells Public Assistance Institution. The facility also incorporated the Peace Memorial Wing from 1965 when management of the Peace Memorial Hospital was transferred to the Shrodells site. The Peace Hospice is situated on the former Peace Memorial site. The Princess Michael of Kent Wing at the Shrodells site was opened by Princess Michael of Kent in 1986 and an acute admissions unit was opened by Andy Burnham, the Secretary of State for Health, in February 2010. The hospital manages beyond its safe capacity with A&E having been designed for around 30,000 attendances per year but receiving over 88,000. The hospital was designated "inadequate" in its 2015 CQC inspection, but was upgraded to "requires improvement" in January 2018. Outline planning permission to redevelop the hospital and create the Watford Health Campus was granted in 2008. Section 106 agreements which will provide £3 million for infrastructure around the Vicarage Road site, including education and transport, were signed on 26 March 2010. In August 2012 Kier Property was selected to carry out the development programme. It will take 15–20 years to complete. Facilities A new road has been built to improve linking the hospital to the town centre and the M1. Given the name, Thomas Sawyer Way, it is the main access for the hospital. The hospital is well-served by Watford buses running between the town centre and Rickmansworth.

Watford General Hospital

El Watford General Hospital es un hospital general de distrito de 521 camas situado en la Vicarage Road de Watford, Reino Unido. Junto con el Hemel Hempstead Hospital y el St. Albans City Hospital, es operado por el West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. Historia El Watford General nació con la fundación del Servicio Nacional de Salud en 1948, utilizando los edificios que anteriormente habían ocupado la workhouse de Watford y, desde 1929, la Shrodells Public Assistance Institution.​ A este complejo se incorporó también, desde 1965, la Peace Memorial Wing, cuando la administración del Peace Memorial Hospital fue transferida a las instalaciones de la Shrodells, mientras su antiguo emplazamiento era aprovechado por el Peace Hospice.​​​ En 1986 fue inaugurada –también en la Shrodells– la Princess Michael of Kent Wing en presencia de la princesa Miguel de Kent, y en febrero de 2010 tuvo lugar la apertura de una unidad de ingresos graves por Andy Burnham, secretario de Estado de Sanidad.​​ El hospital recibió la valoración de «inadecuado» en la inspección de la Care Quality Commission de 2015, si bien esta consideración fue elevada a «requiere mejoras» en enero de 2018.​ Persistieron sin embargo sus cifras de asistencia por encima de la capacidad segura, pues disponiendo de un Departamento de Accidentes y Emergencias –A&E– proyectado para dispensar atención a 30 000 usuarios al año, recibía más de 88 000. En 2008 fue emitida la licencia de planificación general para la reconstrucción del hospital, aparejada a la creación del Watford Health Campus, y el 26 de marzo de 2010 fueron firmados los acuerdos Sección 106 que estipulan la obligación de la administración de proveer 3 millones de libras para costear la infraestructura en torno al recinto de la Vicarage Road, incluida la destinada a educación y transporte.​ En agosto de 2012 se adjudicaron a Kier Property las obras de la nueva ubicación del hospital, las cuales se estimó que tardarían entre 15 y 20 años en finalizar.​​ Instalaciones Para mejorar la conexión del hospital con el centro de la ciudad y con la autopista M1 se construyó una nueva carretera que, inaugurada en 2016, tomó el nombre de Thomas Sawyer Way y se convirtió en el acceso principal al complejo.​​​ Por otra parte, las comunicaciones están reforzadas por el servicio de autobuses, que conecta el hospital con el centro de Watford y Rickmansworth.​ Referencias Enlaces externos «Watford General Hospital».

Дворцовый театр Уотфорда

Дворцовый театр Уотфорда (англ. Watford Palace Theatre) ― театр в городе Уотфорд, графство Хартфордшир, Соединённое Королевство. Построен в 1908 году в стиле Эдвардианской архитектуры. Рассчитан на 600 зрителей. История Театр был построен по заказу компании Watford Hippodrome Co., Ltd. Первый камень в основание будущего Дворцового театра был заложен 3 июня 1908 года. Проект театра был разработан архитектором Х. М. Теобальдом. Строительными работами непосредственно руководили братья Баркеры из Мейденхеда. Строительство заняло шесть месяцев, открытие театра состоялось 14 декабря 1908. В первые годы репертуар театра состоял из варьете и пьес, в основной массе заимствованных у других театров. Тогда здесь выступали такие эстрадные артисты, как Мэри Ллойд, Эви Грин и Лотти Леннокс. На Рождество в театре ставились пантомимы. В начале 1960-х годов директором театра был актёр и писатель Джимми Перри, наиболее известный по своей работе над телесериалом «Папашина армия». В сентябре 2004 года театр открылся после двухлетней реконструкции, финансируемой Британской национальной лотереей в размере 8,8 млн. фунтов стерлингов. В ходе реконструкции было увеличено общественное пространство, открыты два бара, дневное кафе, налажено воздушное охлаждение и установлены новые места для зрителей. Доступ к зданию был улучшен установкой лифта, пандусов и автоматических входных дверей. В октябре 2015 года театр был удостоен Театральной премии Соединённого Королевства в номинации «Promotion of Diversity» (совместно с театром Кёрв в Лейстере). Примечания
Watford Town Cricket Club Ground

Watford Town Cricket Club Ground, at Woodside Playing Fields, is a cricket ground on the northern outskirts of Watford, Hertfordshire. The first recorded match on the ground was in 1944, when the Combined Services played Northamptonshire. In 1976, the ground hosted its first Minor Counties Championship match when Hertfordshire played Norfolk. From 1976 to 1991, the ground played host to 11 Minor Counties Championship matches and a single MCCA Knockout Trophy match. The ground has also hosted List-A matches. The first List-A match held on the ground came in the 1977 Benson & Hedges Cup when Minor Counties West played Derbyshire. The following year the ground was used once again by Minor Counties West in the 1978 competition against Lancashire. The following year Minor Counties South used the ground as a home venue, in a match against Glamorgan. In 1980, a combined Minor Counties team played against Essex in the 1980 Benson & Hedges Cup. In 1981, Middlesex used the ground for a List-A match against the touring Sri Lankans. In 1983 the ground was selected to host a 'warm-up' match ahead of the World Cup, between India and New Zealand. The quality of the pitches was the main reason for the selection of an amateur club's ground, thanks to the efforts and expertise of groundsman Peter Southam who was an employee of Watford Borough (which still owns Woodside) and devoted his time and attention to the Woodside sports pitches, especially cricket and bowls. In local domestic cricket, Watford Town Cricket Club Ground is the home ground of Watford Town Cricket Club. In May 2021 Watford Borough Council announced plans to improve the Woodside Playing Fields park area, including a new cricket pavilion.

Watling Park

Watling Park is a public park in Burnt Oak in the London Borough of Barnet. It is one of Barnet's sixteen premier parks. It is a hilly open area with mown grassland, a children's playground, a football pitch, a basketball pitch and a small rose garden. Burnt Oak Brook, a tributary of the Silk Stream, runs through the park. There are more natural areas of undergrowth at the borders of the park and along the banks of the brook. The park is in the Watling Estate, a London County Council housing estate built in the 1920s and named after the nearby Roman road. It opened in 1931. The area was formerly farmland, and oak trees on the hill are survivors of its rural past. The main entrance is at the corner of Watling Avenue and Orange Hill Road, and there is also access from Fortescue Road, Cressingham Road, Abbots Road and Colchester Road.

Wattlesborough Castle

Wattlesborough Castle ist die Ruine eines Wohnturmes in der englischen Grafschaft Shropshire. Sie liegt an der Grenze zur walisischen Grafschaft Montgomeryshire. Wattlesborough ist eine frühere Siedlung in der heutigen Gemeinde Alberbury. Die Ruine hat English Heritage als historisches Bauwerk I. Grades gelistet und sie gilt als Scheduled Monument. Der Wohnturm besteht aus einem zweistöckigen Turm mit quadratischem Grundriss über einem Kellergeschoss, umgeben von einer Einfriedung mit Burggraben und einem Fischteich. Die Familie Leighton erbte Wattlesborough Castle 1471 und nutzte es als Hauptresidenz bis etwa 1711. Damals wurde anschließend ein Bauernhof namens Wattlesborough Hall errichtet. Geschichte Die Grundherrschaft Wattlesborough gehörte vor der normannischen Eroberung Englands Edric und zu Zeiten des Domesday Book 1086 war sie an Roger FitzCorbet gefallen. Später wurde sie als 1 Knight Fee von den Nachkommen Roger FitzCorbets als Herren von Caus Castle in Shropshire gehalten. Edward Blore gibt an, dass Wattlesborough 1382 an die Mawdys fiel, dann 1414 weiter an die De Burghs und 1471 an die Leightons. Blore meint, dass der Wohnturm von den Corbets 1280 errichtet worden war, aber dies könnte etwas zu früh angesetzt sein. Die Familie Leighton lebte bis 1711 in Wattlesborough Castle und zog dann in das nahegelegen Loton um. Von da an wurde Wattlesborough ein Bauernhof. Ein John Leighton war 1468 Parlamentsabgeordneter für Shropshire und dieses Amt übernahmen später auch andere Familienmitglieder. Heute Der Wohnturm ist als historisches Bauwerk I. Grades gelistet und gilt als Scheduled Monument. Nur der Turm ohne Dach ist erhalten und sein Zustand gilt offiziell als schlecht. English Heritage befindet sich derzeit in Diskussion mit dem Eigentümer über die beste Art der Erhaltung des Gebäudes.

Wattlesborough Castle

Wattlesborough Tower is a ruined fortified 13th-century manor house or Tower House in Shropshire. It is situated close to the boundary with Powys in Wales. Wattlesborough is a former township within the present parish of Alberbury. The castle is a Grade I listed scheduled monument. The Tower comprises a square two-storey tower above an undercroft surrounded by a moated enclosure with a fishpond. The Leighton family inherited Wattlesborough in 1471 and used it as their chief residence until circa 1711. At that time an adjoining farm building was constructed and named Wattlesborough Hall. History The manor of Wattlesborough was held by Edric before the Norman Conquest and by the time of the Domesday Book in 1086 it had passed to Roger Fitz Corbet and subsequently held as one Knight's fee by the successors of Roger as Lords of Caus in Shropshire. Edward Blore gives the succession of Wattlesborough, from the Corbets, to the Mawdy from 1382–1414, to the De Burghs from 1414–1471 and from 1471 when it passed to the Leighton family. Blore thought that the Tower had been built by Roger Corbet in 1280, but this may be a little too early. A John Leighton was MP for Shropshire in 1468, and he was followed by other family members who also served as MP for Shropshire. The Leighton family lived at Wattlesborough until 1711, when they moved to nearby Loton. From then onwards Wattlesborough became a farmhouse. Architectural history The castle is a Grade I listed scheduled monument. Only the roofless tower remains and its condition is officially classified as poor. Historic England are in discussions with the owners to decide the best way of preserving the building.

Wavertree Playground

Wavertree Playground, known locally as The Mystery, is a public park and playground in the Wavertree area of Liverpool, England. It was one of the first purpose-built public playgrounds in the United Kingdom. History In May 1895, a stately home called the Grange was demolished and it looked inevitable that the estate on which it was based would be used as building for the increasing suburbs of Liverpool. However, the estate and some of the surrounding properties, comprising 104 acres (0.42 km2) of land, were purchased by an anonymous donor and presented to the City of Liverpool for use as a park. At the donor's suggestion, the new park was named Wavertree Playground, but was quickly nicknamed "The Mystery" by locals due to the anonymous nature of the donor. The donor was later discovered to be Philip H. Holt whose family also owned Sudley House. An estimated 60,000 people attended the official opening on 7 September 1895, which involved a march past of schoolchildren, a gymnastics exhibition, Morris dancing, and a fireworks display. A Liverpool Corporation day nursery had a building on the site on Grant Avenue but this was demolished about 1990. Features and events In addition to the playground, the park is home to Wavertree Sports Park with many sports facilities including Liverpool Aquatics Centre, sports hall, Lifestyles Fitness Centre, Liverpool Tennis Centre, all-weather pitch, bowling green and athletic track with grandstand. Liverpool Harriers and Athletic Club have based their headquarters at this centre since 1990. Since May 2019, the park has been the location for the "Mystery Junior Parkrun". This is a free, weekly, timed 2-kilometre running event for people aged 4 to 14. It takes place every Sunday at 9:00 a.m. Cultural references The Mystery inspired the title of Hushtones' second album Wildflowers in the Mystery. The members of the Liverpool-based band had all grown up locally.
