Cromwell's Castle

Cromwell's Castle er et artillerifort, der ligger med udsigt til New Grimsby harbour på øen Tresco i Isles of Scilly. Den er opkaldt efter rundhovedernes leder, Oliver Cromwell. Det består af et højt, rundt kanontårn og en tilhørende kanonplatform, der skulle forhindre fjendtlige skibe i at trænge ind i havnen. Fæstningen blev bygget i to faser; sir Robert Blake opførte tårnet mellem 1651 og 1652 efter rundhovedernes invasion af øerne i slutningen af den engelske borgerkrig, og artillerichef Abraham Tovey tilføjede kanonplatformen under krigen om Jenkins' Øre omkring 1739. Tårnet gik af brug kort efter. I dag drives Cromwell's Castle af English Heritage og er åben for offentligheden. Se også Liste over borge og slotte i England Referencer Eksterne henvisninger
Cromwell Community College

Cromwell Community College is a coeducational all-through school and sixth form located in Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, England. History Cromwell School was founded in 1939 to serve the town of Chatteris. It grew over the years as it accepted secondary school age pupils from nearby schools that were either closing or turning into primary schools. It turned fully comprehensive in 1969 in line with the Cambridgeshire LEA's switch from the tripartite system to a comprehensive system. The school previously held Humanities College specialist status, and in 2008 the school was awarded with the Sportsmark. It became an academy in 2012. An all-weather pitch and changing rooms opened at the school in September 2011. In August 2012, a suite of rooms for Technology and ICT, a new sports hall, as well as a fitness suite and dance studio were opened, and all of these facilities are available for use by the local community outside school hours. The old school buildings were reconstructed into a dining hall and sixth form facility. Two new science laboratories were also constructed, with the whole rebuild completed in September 2013. In September 2020 the school opened a primary school phase with new buildings completed in 2021. This means that Cromwell Community College is the first state-funded all-through school in Cambridgeshire. Academics Cromwell Community College offers GCSEs, Cambridge Nationals and WJEC awards as programmes of study for pupils. Students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A Levels, Cambridge Technicals and BTECs.

Cromwell Lock

Cromwell Lock is a large navigation lock on the River Trent in Nottinghamshire, England. The first lock to be built on the site was constructed by the Trent Navigation Company, having been authorised by an Act of Parliament obtained in 1906. Construction began in late 1908, as soon as the Company had raised sufficient capital. The lock was extended in 1935, when an extra pair of gates were added downstream of the main lock, effectively forming a second lock. The lock was further improved in 1960, when the two locks were made into one, capable of holding eight standard Trent barges. Cromwell Weir by the side of the lock is the second largest weir on the Trent, after Beeston weir, and marks the tidal limit of the river. The site is defined by the Ordnance Survey as the nearest tidal location to Coton in the Elms in Derbyshire, which is the furthest point from the sea in Great Britain, located 72 kilometres (45 mi) away. On 28 September 1975, during an eighty-mile, night navigation exercise in extreme weather conditions, ten members of the 131 Parachute Squadron, Royal Engineers were killed after a power failure caused the navigation lights on the weir to go out and their boat went over the crest. A memorial garden with a block of Scottish granite bearing the names of the men who died, lies next to the lock. References

Crookes Valley Park

Crookes Valley Park is een park in het westen van de stad Sheffield. Het bevindt zich op twee kilometer van het stadscentrum, werd aangelegd in de 18de eeuw en bestrijkt een oppervlakte van 4,8 hectare. Tezamen met Weston Park en de Ponderosa vormt het een van de Crookesmoor Parks. In het centrum van Crookes Valley Park ligt een meer dat in 1795 ontstond toen de dam Old Great Dam werd gebouwd die Sheffield langdurig met water moest bevoorraden. Aanvankelijk waren er tien stuwmeren met een totale capaciteit van 95.000 kubieke meter water aangelegd teneinde in deze taak te voorzien; tegen de 20ste eeuw was evenwel duidelijk dat deze niet volstonden om de gestadig groeiende stad van water te voorzien. De Old Great Dam was het enige reservoir van de tien dat bewaard bleef. Het meer zou naar verluidt 18 meter diep zijn en vis bevatten. Het park omheen het meer wordt door de straat Mushroom Lane gescheiden van Weston Park. Aan de zuidwestelijke rand bevindt zich het restaurant Dam House, in een gebouw dat in de jaren 1780 gebouwd werd. In de jaren 70 werd een steil hellend speelterrein voor kinderen op het domein aangelegd. Vroeger werd in Crookes Valley Park gezeild; thans wordt er enkel nog gehengeld.
Crookhall

Crookhall is a village in County Durham, in England. It is situated between Consett and Delves Lane. It is named after, and intimately connected to, Crook Hall which once stood nearby. History First documented in the Boldon Book as “Cruketon pays four marks.” It is also listed in Bishops Hatfield's survey (1381) as, "John de Kirkby held the vill of Crokhogh and a hundred acres of arable arid woodland, by knight's service and 2s. and half an acre at Stokerley, once of Peter del Croke, 4d." The reference to a vill suggests the village or a hamlet existed at that time. The present Crookhall village was created in about 1844 when George Baker, MP of Crook Hall started to exploit the coal reserves on his estate. One up, one down cottages called Red Row and Blue Row were constructed for the mineworkers. The last of the cottages were demolished in about 1958/9 and the Miner's Institute converted to a Community Centre. Coal mining began in 1838 with boring operations followed in 1838 by the opening of the Stockerley House Pit and Crook Hall Colliery. The Crookhall iron works were established in 1845. Crook Hall itself served as one of two Catholic seminaries created in England when the students at the English College, Douai, France were expelled in 1793 after the French Revolution. It was demolished circa 1900. References
Greenham and Crookham Commons

Greenham and Crookham Commons are two adjoining public park areas of 280.5-hectare (693-acre) common land designated as a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in the civil parishes of Greenham and Thatcham, on the southern outskirts of Newbury in the English county of Berkshire, home to a variety of rare wildlife (such as the Northern pool frog). Public park In 1997, Greenham and Crookham Commons were designated as public parkland. Cattle from local farms are permitted to graze the Commons and often stray onto the adjacent Burys Bank Road. Site of Special Scientific Interest The SSSI is in several areas and it is part of the 444-hectare (1,100-acre) Greenham and Crookham Commons nature reserve, which is owned by West Berkshire Council and managed by the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust. The two commons have the largest area of heathland and acid grassland in the county and other habitats are gorse scrub, broadleaved woodland and water-logged alder valleys. There is a rich variety of invertebrates, such as the white admiral, purple emperor and silver-washed fritillary woodland butterflies. History Pre-20th century The area has been common grazing land for the parishes since Norman times. Besides the grazing of local animals, the commons were used for troop movements during the English Civil War and in the eighteen and nineteenth centuries. World War II and Cold War The area became a Royal Air Force station called RAF Greenham Common in 1942; it was used by both the Royal Air Force and United States Army Air Forces during the Second World War and the United States Air Force during the Cold War, also as a base for nuclear weapons. In the 1980s, the commons therefore became the location of the Women's Peace Camp, but following the closure of the base in September 1992, it was opened to the public as a nature reserve in April 2000.

Cropston Reservoir

Cropston Reservoir (originally known as Bradgate Reservoir) lies in Charnwood Forest in Leicestershire, England. The dam and associated water works are in Cropston, while the bulk of the reservoir is in the neighbouring Newtown Linford parish. It was opened in May 1871 in a corner of Bradgate Park, a large expanse of open land northwest of Leicester. It is part of the 987-acre (399.3 ha) Bradgate Park and Cropston Reservoir Site of Special Scientific Interest. London-based consulting engineer Thomas Hawksley was appointed by the Leicester Waterworks Company in 1865 to carry out the surveying work. In September 1867, 180 acres (73 ha) of land adjacent to the deer park at Bradgate Park was purchased from the Earl of Stamford for a cost of £24,000. A stone wall was built by George Rudkin around the boundary to separate the deer park from the reservoir, at a cost of 8s 10d per yard. The dam is 760 yards (690 m) long and rises to a height of 51 feet (16 m) at its highest point, which gives a depth of water of 38 feet (12 m). The cost of the dam was £41,356 and the reservoir £8,500 with the contract being awarded to Benton & Woodiwiss of Derby. The reservoir was completed in 1870. The dam was originally constructed from a mixture of siliceous sand and clay, but as water was found to be leaking through it, it was rebuilt and now extends 40 feet (12 m) below the surface. Water from the reservoir was piped to four large filter beds. It was then pumped to an elevation matching the supply from Thornton Reservoir so that the supplies from the two reservoirs could be merged. The reservoir is formed by the River Lin and is owned and managed by Severn Trent. The growing population of Leicester and surrounding areas meant that by the late 19th century the reservoirs in Leicestershire were no longer adequate to meet demand, and water is now piped from Ladybower Reservoir to Cropston by the Derwent aqueduct.

Cross Green

Cross Green è un impianto sportivo multifunzione di Otley, località del Regno Unito facente parte della cintura metropolitana della città inglese di Leeds, nel West Yorkshire. Inaugurato all'inizio degli anni venti del XX secolo, è l'impianto interno dell'Otley, il locale club di rugby a 15. Nel 1991 fu tra le sedi che ospitarono gare della II Coppa del Mondo di rugby. Storia Lo stadio nacque nel 1921 quando la locale squadra dell'Otley, tra le scissioniste dello Yorkshire che avevano aderito al rugby a 13, tornò alla disciplina a 15. Da allora la storia del club e quella dello stadio hanno coinciso; l'impianto assurse a notorietà internazionale nel corso del tour 1979 degli All Blacks in Europa, quando una selezione delle Contee del nord Inghilterra capitanata da Bill Beaumont, davanti a un pubblico di circa 8 000 spettatori che gremì lo stadio, batté la squadra neozelandese per 21-9. Nove anni più tardi fu l'Australia a cadere in tale stadio, contro la stessa selezione, con il punteggio di 15-9. Nel 1991 lo stadio, il meno capiente tra gli impianti prescelti, fu sede di un incontro della seconda edizione della Coppa del Mondo di rugby che l'Inghilterra si trovò a organizzare: il calendario assegnò a Cross Green la gara della fase a gironi tra Italia e Stati Uniti che la squadra azzurra vinse 30-9. A marcare la prima meta internazionale nell'impianto fu l'italiano Stefano Barba davanti a circa 7500 spettatori tra posti a sedere e in piedi; tale evento è considerato ancora, a distanza di anni, tra i più significativi dello sport cittadino. A tutta l'edizione 2023 della Coppa del Mondo Cross Green, impianto tuttora attivo e usato anche per concerti, rimane il meno capiente stadio in assoluto di tutta la storia della competizione; a dispetto di ciò, non fu quello che registrò l'affluenza più bassa, perché tale primato spettò allo stadio Jean Dauger di Bayonne, in Francia, nel quale in quell'edizione di torneo appena 4000 spettatori assistettero a Figi — Canada.

Crowdy Reservoir

Crowdy Reservoir is located on Bodmin Moor near Camelford in north Cornwall. It is currently managed jointly by the South West Lakes Trust and South West Water. There is public access to the reservoir away from the nature reserve. The reservoir supplies water to the North Cornwall water distribution network via treatment at the Lowermoor Water Treatment Works. History The concrete dam was completed on Crowdy Marsh in 1973. Geography Crowdy Reservoir is a reservoir on the northern edge of Bodmin Moor Cornwall. It is mostly in the civil parish of Advent and includes a small area in Davidstow parish and is fed by run-off and drainage from the surrounding moorland. The nearest town is Camelford 2 miles (3.2 km) to the east; Roughtor is 1 mile (1.6 km) to the south; Davidstow Moor on the east shore and to the north is the former Davidstow Airfield now partially covered by a Forestry England plantation, Davidstow Woods. The eastern two-thirds is within the Bodmin Moor, North Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The reservoir provides water to parts of North Cornwall. Natural history and ecology Built on a marsh, the reservoir still retains a high degree of biological interest with a gradual transition from emergent vegetation with islets and peat to open water. Cornwall's only major colony of black-headed gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) breed here and a number wildfowl also breed or overwinter here. Some of the species include, gadwall (Anas strepera), goldeneye (Bucephala clangula), goosander (Mergus merganser), mallard (Anas platyrhynchos), common pochard (Aythya ferina), shoveller (Anas clypeata), teal (Anas crecca) and tufted duck (Aythya fuligula).
