Portsmouth and Southsea Synagogue

The Portsmouth and Southsea Synagogue, also known as the Portsmouth and Southsea Hebrew Congregation, is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue located at The Thickett, on Elm Grove, Southsea in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England, in the United Kingdom. Formed in c. 1740s, the congregation is one of the oldest Jewish in the United Kingdom. They worship in the Ashkenazi rite. The part-time rabbi of the congregation, since 2011, is Reverend Gabriel Burns. History During the Napoleonic Wars, the commercial activity of Portsmouth as a garrison and naval town attracted a large number of Jews. In 1780, the congregation built a synagogue on White's Row, expanded and renovated in 1850 and 1876. The congregation moved out of these premises in 1936 into a former private villa in Elm Grove, built in 1910, that was repurposed for use as a synagogue. Many of the fittings from the original 1780 synagogue, including the Ark, were relocated to the current synagogue. The original synagogue building, which until its closure in 1936 was the oldest provincial Synagogue still in use, was destroyed during World War II in an air raid. In December 1942, a day of mourning, fasting was held in the synagogue for Jewish victims of Nazi massacres. In 1967, in the light of the good relationship which existed between Portsmouth and the Israeli Navy based in Haifa, the synagogue donated a Kiddush cup to the crew of the submarine INS Dakar for its maiden voyage which ended in tragedy when the submarine sank.

Ippodromo di Ascot

L'ippodromo di Ascot è un famoso ippodromo inglese situato nella cittadina di Ascot, Berkshire. Vi si disputano corse di cavalli purosangue. Storia Fondato nel 1711 dalla regina Anna d'Inghilterra, fu inaugurato con una gara intitolata "Her Majesty's Plate" (dotazione di 100 ghinee) l'11 agosto di quell'anno, con soli sette cavalli in gara. Ascot è uno degli ippodromi più importanti del Regno Unito: ospita nove delle trentadue corse di gruppo del Gruppo 1. Dista circa 11 km dal castello di Windsor. Nelle vicinanze è situato anche l'aeroporto civile Codice EGLT. Di proprietà della Ascot Racecourse Ltd., è, per la sua importanza, l'impianto ippico più strettamente legato alla famiglia reale britannica (il cui entourage ha l'obbligo di indossare il tight). L'annesso campo di golf è controllato dalla Crown Estate. Annualmente vengono organizzate ventisei giornate di gare di corsa piana, concentrate nella maggior parte (diciotto) fra i mesi di maggio e di ottobre. Nei mesi invernali vengono organizzate anche corse con ostacoli. Il meeting del Royal Ascot, che si disputa nell'arco di 5 giornate nella terza settimana di giugno, è il fulcro della stagione: si disputano ben 35 corse, 8 di gruppo 1: le Queen Anne Stakes sul miglio per cavalli anziani, le King's stand, la Commonwealth Cup e le Diamond Jubilee Stakes per velocisti, le Coronation Stakes e le St James Palace Stakes, entrambe sul miglio, rivincita delle 1000 e 2000 ghinee per cavalli di 3 anni, le Prince of Wales Stakes a 2000 metri e la favorita del pubblico, la Gold Cup per fondisti, a 4000 metri. A luglio si svolge la prestigiosa King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes, sui 2400 metri, in cui i migliori anziani d'Europa affrontano i migliori tre anni della stagione classica. Ascot nei media Al cinema l'ippodromo di Ascot, interamente ricreato in studio nella sua versione primi Novecento, è rappresentato in una celebre sequenza del film My Fair Lady, ricordata anche per il vestito bianco e nero di Audrey Hepburn. Una sequenza del film Agente 007 - Bersaglio mobile è stata girata nell'impianto britannico.

Ascot Racecourse

Ascot Racecourse is een renbaan in de Engelse plaats Ascot, Berkshire. De baan wordt gebruikt voor paardenraces. Het is een van de belangrijkste en grootste renbanen in Engeland. Jaarlijks worden 9 van de 31 jaarlijkse 'Groep 1'-races gehouden op Ascot, een aantal gelijk aan dat van Newmarket. De baan is sterk verbonden aan de Britse koninklijke familie. Hij ligt vlak bij Windsor Castle en wordt beheerd door het vastgoedbeheer van de koninklijke familie. Historie Ascot Racecourse werd in 1711 geopend door koningin Anne. De eerste race, "Her Majesty's Plate", met een prijs van 100 muntenguineas voor de winnaar, werd gehouden op 10 augustus 1711. Zeven paarden deden mee, allemaal met hetzelfde gewicht (76 kg). De eerste race was 6437 meter lang. De 'Royal Meeting' die in juni wordt gehouden bestaat uit een groot aantal grote races. De Koninklijke familie is deze dagen altijd aanwezig en komt vlak voor het begin binnen in een koets terwijl het volkslied wordt gespeeld. De belangrijkste race is de Ascot Gold Cup. In juli wordt de prestigieuze King George VI & Queen Elizabeth gehouden. Royal Ascot Het hoogtepunt van het jaar is Royal Ascot. Dit evenement staat bekend als het beroemdste race-evenement ter wereld. De aandacht van de pers gaat echter meer uit naar de kleding (met name de hoeden) dan naar de races. Het is dan ook een echt society-evenement. Bepaalde gedeeltes van het terrein zijn alleen toegankelijk voor mensen die zich aan een strikte dresscode houden. Hoeden zijn verplicht, net zoals een pak voor de mannen. Vrouwen mogen geen blote schouders tonen en zijn verplicht een hoed te dragen. Net als op prinsjesdag zijn op Ascot de vreemdste en meest aparte creaties te zien. Normaliter komt men alleen in dit gedeelte (the Royal Enclosure) als men geïntroduceerd wordt door een lid. Om toegang te krijgen moet minimaal 530 pond worden neergelegd. Meer dan 300.000 mensen bezoeken de baan in de Royal Ascot-week. Dit maakt het het best bezochte paardenrace-evenement van Europa. Veel van de bezoekers weten niets van paardenraces maar zijn er puur voor het sociale aspect en het drinken van alcoholische versnaperingen. Dit zorgt ervoor dat er een tweedeling ontstaat tussen de paardenracefans en de bezoekers die voor het sociale aspect komen. Tijdens deze week is er een speciale Ladies Day op donderdag. Dezelfde dag wordt de Ascot Gold Cup gehouden. Het prijzengeld is meer dan £3.000.000. Externe links Website van Ascot Website van Royal Ascot

Ascot Racecourse

Ascot Racecourse är en hästkapplöpningsbana i orten Ascot i grevskapet Berkshire i England. Banan används till galopptävlingar om sommaren, bland annat The Royal Ascot, och steeplechase och hinderlopp på vintern. Marken som Ascot Racecourse ligger på ägs av Crown Estate. Bakgrund Drottning Anna avsatte området till hästtävlingar år 1711 och den 11 augusti samma år reds det första loppet med en prispott på 100 Guineas. År 1813 avsatte det brittiska parlamentet området till hästsport för all framtid. Det användes dock bara en gång om året till "The Royal Meeting", en fyra dagars tävling. Först år 1945 utökades verksamheten. I mer än 250 år var det bara galopptävlingar på Ascot, men från och med år 1965 har man också ridit hinderlopp och steeplechase här. Galoppbanan stängdes år 2004 för renovering och när den öppnade 20 månader senare hade, bland annat, en helt ny åskådarläktare byggts. Sedan 2000 körs Shergar Cup till minne av galopphästen Shergar, som kidnappades 1983. The Royal Ascot Tävlingsveckan, som vanligen är i mitten av juni, har den brittiska kungafamiljen som värd och framträdande medlemmar av kungahuset anländer varje tävlingsdag i hästdragna vagnar. Drottning Elizabeth II var under sin regeringstid självskriven hedersgäst och tävlingarna började direkt efter hennes ankomst. Drottningen var frånvarande en enda gång och 22 av hennes hästar har vunnit lopp under tävlingarna. The Royal Ascot är ett av världens mest formella event med en strikt klädkod. Kvinnor skall vara klädda i heltäcktackande klänningar och hatt, medan männen skall ha svart eller grå jackett med hatt. Den totala prissumman under de fem tävlingsdagarna är (2020) £8 miljoner (BRP). 2020 års Royal Ascot hölls på grund av Coronaviruspandemin utan publik och i drottning Elizabeth II:s frånvaro.

Ascot d’Oilly Castle

Das Ascot d’Oilly Castle ist ein denkmalgeschütztes Monument. Es befindet sich auf einem Privatgrundstück nördlich des Dorfes Ascott-under-Wychwood in Oxfordshire, England. Ein Fragment der Burg steht noch und ist ein denkmalgeschütztes Gebäude. Es wird vermutet, dass die Burg um 1129 gebaut wurde und bereits kurz nach 1175 abgerissen wurde. Es gibt Überreste eines steinernen Turms. Es wurde von Martyn Jope und R. I. Threlfall im Jahr 1959 ausgegraben, wobei Keramik des 12. Jahrhunderts entdeckt wurde. Die Überreste bestehen aus einem von einem breiten Burggraben umgebenen Hochparterre. Nur die Spuren des Turms stehen noch, und sie lassen vermuten, dass er Abmessungen von etwa 10,7 m im Quadrat mit 2,4 m dicken Wänden hatte. Einzelnachweise
Ascot d'Oilly Castle

Ascot d'Oilly Castle is situated north of the village of Ascott-under-Wychwood in north west Oxfordshire. The site is a scheduled ancient monument. It was named after Roger d'Oilly who was granted the land by William the Conqueror and whose brother built Oxford Castle. It is thought that the castle was built in the second quarter of the 12th century and it was demolished some time around 1180. The remains consist of raised ground surrounded by broad ditching, and part of a stone tower which is protected as a Grade II listed building. Today the motte of the original castle survives as a mound, around 32 metres (105 ft) wide and 3 metres (9.8 ft) high. The ruins of the keep are situated on top of this mound in the central 20-metre (66 ft) area. It was excavated by Martyn Jope and R. I. Threlfall in 1946–1947 and then in 1959. Excavations carried out in 1946–1947 not only unearthed a number of important artefacts such as 12th-century shelly ware pottery, they also showed how earth was piled up around the outside of a square tower for fortification i.e the castle was built on ground level and then the clay mound, that survives to date, was built around it, instead of the castle being built on a raised mound from the start. Whilst an uncommon practise, similar examples of this style of construction can be found at Lydford, Caldicot, and Skenfrith, amongst others. Only traces of the tower remain and they suggest that it was about 11 square metres (120 sq ft) with walls 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) thick. The castle is very close to the fortification of Ascott Earl Castle, built on an adjacent estate at the other end of the village. These two castles are unusual as they are in close proximity, being only 550 metres (1,800 ft) apart, yet they have never been used in armed struggle against each other. The castle is also very close to Leafield Castle with it only being 2.7 miles away. It is possible that these two fortifications are linked with the shared defence of West Oxfordshire.

Post Office Road

Post Office Road (currently known as the Millennium Stadium for sponsorship purposes) is a rugby league ground in Featherstone, near Pontefract, West Yorkshire, England. It is the home of rugby league club Featherstone Rovers. The ground's current capacity is 6,954. History The ground opened in 1904 and has been used by the club since their formation in 1908. The record attendance is 17,000 from a 1957 game against St. Helens. In 2011, fans bought stands from the defunct Scarborough F.C.'s McCain Stadium and erected them at the railway end of the ground, replacing the terracing. Layout North Stand Capacity – (seated) The North Stand or Railway End is the newest part of the ground after originally being terracing it was replaced in 2014 with seated stands which were taken from Scarborough's McCain Stadium. The North-East corner houses the scoreboard. East Stand Capacity – (seated) The Eastern side of the ground has two covered seated stands. The main stand on the halfway line houses bars and toilets while towards the Northern end of the ground, the smaller stand was erected in 2014 after it was relocated from Scarborough's McCain Stadium. To the Southern end of the stand there is a small amount of uncovered terracing. South Stand Capacity – (standing) The South Stand or Post Office Road End is located behind the goal posts and is open terracing. Terrace houses overlook behind the stand and people have been known to sit on the roofs and watch games. West Stand Capacity – (seated) The West Stand is the Main Stand in the ground. It contains covered seating, where the TV gantry is and a small amount of uncovered terracing towards the South end of the ground. Towards the North end of the ground is the hospitality building which is connected to the main stand and also houses the changing rooms. Sponsorship and name changes From 2007, it was announced that the ground would be renamed the Chris Moyles Stadium after the BBC Radio 1 presenter. This decision attracted criticism from some fans who felt Moyles had nothing to do with the tradition of the club or rugby league (he was born in Leeds and is famously a loyal Leeds United fan). However others saw it as a positive, good move and good publicity for the team. Moyles did not pay any money in the deal but mentioned Featherstone Rovers occasionally on his breakfast show. From 2009, the ground sponsorship was taken up by Bigfellas Nightclub following a two-year sponsorship deal. In 2017 local health food business LD Nutrition signed a deal to sponsor the stadium.

Silkstone glassworks

Silkstone glassworks is situated at Pot House Hamlet, a historic former industrial site in Silkstone, South Yorkshire, England. A glass works was established at Silkstone around 1659 by John Pilmey, who had emigrated from France some years earlier. The glassworks had two furnaces, one for green glass and the other for white. Pilmey married Abigail Scott at Silkstone in 1658. Later she was one of the signatories who successfully petitioned Parliament against the Glass Tax in 1696. Her death is recorded on William Scott's gravestone in the North Aisle of Silkstone Church. In 1718, John Warburton, when preparing his map of Yorkshire, noted as he passed Silkstone Church "pass a rill at the bottom the glass house on the right." The remains of the glassworks and pottery were excavated by English Heritage in 2003, and the site was subsequently protected as a scheduled monument. Pot House Hamlet now consists of a number of independent small businesses. References
