Covered Market, Oxford

The Covered Market is a historic market with permanent stalls and shops in a large covered structure in central Oxford, England. It was designated a Grade II listed building in 2000. Location The market is located to the north of the High Street towards the western end between Cornmarket Street and Turl Street. To the north is Market Street. Most of the entrances are from the High Street and Market Street (with four entrances from each street). It is also possible to gain access from Cornmarket via the Golden Cross alley, with its small up-market shops. History The Covered Market was officially opened on 1 November 1774 and remains in use. It was established in response to a general wish to clear 'untidy, messy and unsavoury stalls' from the main streets of central Oxford. John Gwynn, the architect of Magdalen Bridge, drew up the plans and designed the High Street front with its four entrances. In 1772, the newly formed Market committee, half of whose members came from the town and half from the university, accepted an estimate of nine hundred and sixteen pounds ten shillings, for the building of twenty butchers' shops. Twenty more soon followed, and after 1773 meat was allowed to be sold only inside the market. From this nucleus, the market grew, with stalls for garden produce, pig meat, dairy products and fish. Today Today the covered market is still home to numerous traders, around half being food retailers, including market shops selling fresh food such as greengrocers and butchers (including some producing the Oxford sausage). There are also newer gift shops, bakeries and sandwich shops. Most of the shops are larger than the original stall sizes, with the result there are fewer businesses in the covered market than in the past. The Covered Market may be accessed via the four entrances on the High Street, via Golden Cross (from Cornmarket), and from three entrances on Market Street. In 2017, Oxford City Council, which owns the Covered Market, announced a £1.6m investment in the fabric of the building, including roof repairs, improved public conveniences, external paving and new signage. In May 2017, the Covered Market received 'the Royal seal of approval' when it was visited by Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall.

Covered Market (Oxford)

Il mercato coperto di Oxford (Covered Market) è un mercato storico con bancarelle e negozi permanenti in una struttura coperta nel centro di Oxford, in Inghilterra. Il mercato si trova nella parte nord di High Street nell'estremità occidentale tra Cornmarket Street e Turl Street . A nord c'è Market Street . La maggior parte degli ingressi provengono da High Street e Market Street. È anche possibile accedere da Cornmarket attraverso il vicolo della Croce d'Oro. Storia Il 'Covered Market' fu ufficialmente inaugurato il 1° novembre 1774 ed è tuttora in uso. È stato istituito in risposta al desiderio generale di eliminare "bancarelle disordinate e sgradevoli" dalle strade principali del centro di Oxford. John Gwynn, l'architetto del Magdalen Bridge, elaborò i piani e progettò il fronte di High Street con i suoi quattro ingressi. Presto ne seguirono altri venti e dopo il 1773 la carne fu autorizzata a essere venduta solo all'interno del mercato. Da questo nucleo si sviluppò il mercato, con banchi di prodotti dell'orto, carne suina, latticini e pesce. Ad oggi Oggi il mercato coperto ospita ancora numerosi commercianti, circa la metà sono rivenditori di generi alimentari, compresi negozi di mercato che vendono alimenti freschi come fruttivendoli e macellai (tra cui alcuni che producono la salsiccia di Oxford ). Ci sono anche nuovi negozi di souvenir, panetterie e paninoteche . La maggior parte dei negozi sono più grandi rispetto alle dimensioni originali dei banchi, con il risultato che ci sono meno attività commerciali nel mercato coperto rispetto al passato. È possibile accedere al Mercato Coperto tramite i quattro ingressi su High Street, tramite Golden Cross (da Cornmarket) e da tre ingressi su Market Street. Nel 2017, il Comune di Oxford, proprietario del mercato coperto, ha annunciato un investimento di 1,6 milioni di sterline nella struttura dell'edificio, comprese le riparazioni del tetto, il miglioramento dei servizi pubblici, la pavimentazione esterna e la nuova segnaletica. Nel maggio 2017, il mercato coperto ha ricevuto il "sigillo di approvazione reale" quando è stato visitato dal principe Carlo e dalla duchessa di Cornovaglia.

Covered Market, Oxford

Covered Market är en täckt saluhall och butiksgalleria i Oxford, England, belägen mellan High Street och Market Street i den centrala delen av den historiska innerstaden. Byggnaden uppfördes 1772–1774 efter ritningar av John Gwynn. Marknaden ägs av Oxfords stad, och det uttalade syftet med marknaden var att få bort livsmedelshandeln från stadens gator och förbättra hygienen. Omkring hälften av butikerna utgörs av livsmedelsstånd, huvudsakligen tillhörande lokala småföretag, då stadens policy är att i första hand hyra ut till oberoende småaktörer.

Cowes Enterprise College

Cowes Enterprise College, previously known as Cowes High School, is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form with academy status located on the outskirts of Cowes at Crossfield Avenue on the Isle of Wight, England. History As Cowes High School, the school was designated a Business and Enterprise College. As part of the reorganisation of the education system on the Isle of Wight, Cowes Pathfinder Partnership was successful in their bid against Academies Enterprise Trust take over the school. In 2011, the school opened with the age range extended to years 7 through 13. It is now one of five secondary providers on the Isle of Wight. As part of the reorganisation, a bid for £30.5 million was won from the Department for Education and Skills to rebuild the school with a carbon-neutral building, with an aim of being completed by 2012. In December 2008, it was announced that redevelopment of the school had been delayed, caused by procurement rules following court rulings elsewhere, by up to a year with an opening of summer 2012 as the latest opening date,. The 2014 pass rates for the school were 58% for five or more GCSE A* to C passes including English and Maths, significantly higher than the average for the Isle of Wight and 97% pass rate with 67% of students gaining at least 3 A Level passes. In September 2012, the college was due to move across into a new £32 million building, however, due to a sustained period of wet weather the opening was delayed until November 2012. At the beginning of December 2012, parents received a letter stating that occupation of the new building now would not take place until September 2013. Prior to the new opening of the school, headteacher David Snashall stated he would be standing down, with Dave Goodhead taking over. Jonathan Russell was appointed principal for the new Cowes Enterprise College. Cowes Enterprise College appointed Rebecca Pearce (current vice principal of The City Academy Bristol) as the new principal for January 2014 and converted to academy status in September 2014 joining the Ormiston Academies Trust. "Personal circumstances" forced Pearce's departure in November 2014 and former Ofsted inspector John Peckham was appointed to "take the school to the next stage" Notable former pupils Si Genaro, British musician and featured contestant on The Voice UK.

Cowes Power Station

Cowes power station (or Kingston power station) is a 140MW Open Cycle Gas Turbine station powered by two 70MW units. Located in East Cowes, the station is the Isle of Wight's only conventional power generation source other than power from the mainland. The station was built in 1982 at a cost of £30 million. The station is owned and operated by RWE Generation UK. Both units run on light fuel oil and operate at either peak time or when the grid requires frequency response. The station is either run locally or by remote from the Hythe Dispatch Desk, located at Hythe Power Station. The gas turbine engines have a total output of 200,000 horsepower and use 762 litres (201 US gal) of fuel oil per minute when running at maximum output. There was a 24 MW coal-fired power station at Cowes that was decommissioned on 15 March 1976. In addition to electricity generated on the Isle of Wight, power is transmitted from the mainland through subsea cables. The first connection was in 1947 by a 33 kV cable from Nursling near Southampton to Cowes. A second cable was installed in 1964, this was the first 132 kV oil-filled cable in Britain, and was constructed by AEI. A new 132 kV link was commissioned in July 1972, this was the first major cable contract undertaken by the Southern Electricity Board. References
Cowper and Newton Museum

The Cowper and Newton Museum is a museum in Olney, north Buckinghamshire, England, around 8 miles (13 km) north-east of Central Milton Keynes. Celebrating the work and lives of two famous local residents: William Cowper (1731–1800), a celebrated 18th-century poet; and John Newton (1725–1807), a slave trader and subsequently a prominent abolitionist, who was curate in the local church. Together, Cowper and Newton wrote the Olney Hymns, including one of the world's most popular hymns, "Amazing Grace". The museum is housed in a large red-brick Georgian house, called Orchard Side, on the corner of Market Place in Olney. History The Museum building is original to the Georgian era and is presented as it would have been when William Cowper was its resident in 1768 to 1786. Within the Museum's collections are the literary works and personal effects of William Cowper, showing a detailed insight into Georgian life and a fine collection of lace and local history artefacts. The history of Olney is also presented in the Olney Rooms within the museum. It has two unique gardens of outstanding horticultural interest as they are planted only with specimens introduced to England before 1800. The museum first opened in 1900. The Flower Garden & Summerhouse Garden Originally the Summerhouse Garden belonged to the apothecary who lived next door to Orchard Side. After Thomas Aspray's death, Cowper was allowed the use of this former medicinal and herbal garden. Selected friends were allowed to visit him in the unique building in the centre of the garden, which he described as his "verse manufacturey". After the poet's death in 1800, admirers of his works visited this small "literary shrine" and many inscribed their names and dates on the walls and ceiling - the earliest found being 1802! - all of which can still be seen today. Celebrations In July 2022, following the securing of funding from Milton Keynes City Council, the MK Community Foundation, the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Arts Council England, the town's Cowper and Newton Museum launched the "Amazing Grace 250" project to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Amazing Grace hymn, featuring a host of exhibitions and special events in Olney, the wider Milton Keynes area, and beyond. Other The vicarage is close by, where Cowper's friend and clergyman John Newton (1725–1807), wrote the hymn Amazing Grace. Newton and his wife are buried in the local churchyard. The museum is promoted by the Campaign to Protect Rural England. and is a charitable trust run almost entirely by volunteers.

Steinkreis von Craddock Moor

Der bronzezeitliche Steinkreis von Craddock Moor (englisch Craddock Moor Circle) liegt nordwestlich von Minions, bei Liskeard im Bodmin Moor in Cornwall in England, in der Nähe der Steinreihe von Craddock Moor, des Rillaton Barrow und etwa 800 m nordnordwestlich von The Hurlers. Der Steinkreis besteht aus 16 gefallenen, teils zerbrochenen und überwachsenen Steinen und einem eventuell verbliebenen Stumpf. Eine Standortuntersuchung legt nahe, dass es ursprünglich 26 oder 27 Steine gab, aber aufgrund des intensiven Torfabbaus in der Nähe ist es unmöglich, das ursprüngliche Layout zu bestimmen. Der Craddock-Moor-Kreis ähnelt dem Steinkreis von Leskernick, da die Steine abgestufte Höhen aufweisen und der höchste nach Nordnordwesten weist. Christopher Tilley bemerkte eine „mögliche Achse“, die die Steinreihe, ein eingezäuntes Gehege, den Kreis und the Hurlers miteinander verbindet. Da diese aber nicht in Sichtweite zueinander liegen, kommentierte er: „Es ist schwer vorstellbar, wie eine solche auffällige Ausrichtung rein zufällig erfolgen könnte.“ Eine der ersten archäologischen Untersuchungen auf dem Bodmin Moor, einschließlich des Craddock Moor Circle, wurde von Nicholas Johnson und Peter Rose durchgeführt. Legende Chris Barber und David Pykitt schlugen vor, dass das Craddock Moor nach dem britischen König der Artuslegende Caradoc benannt ist, der mit jenem Caractacus in Verbindung gebracht wurde, der gegen die Römer kämpfte. Im Exmoor steht der Caratacus Stone, der sich auf einen Neffen beziehen soll. Literatur John Barnatt: Lesser Known Stone Circles in Cornwall in Cornish Archaeology 19, 1980. S. 17–30.

Craddock Moor stone circle

Craddock Moor Stone Circle or Craddock Moor Circle is a stone circle located near Minions on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, UK. It is situated around half a mile Northwest of The Hurlers. Description The circle consists of sixteen fallen stones with one remaining possible stump, all considerably overgrown making it one of the harder circles to find on the moor. John Barnatt has suggested that the circle was situated so that the summit of Brown Willy marked the midsummer sunset. It is nearby to Craddock Moor stone row and an embanked enclosure. Christopher Tilley noted what he called a "possible axis of movement" linking the stone row, an embanked enclosure, the circle and the Hurlers. As these cannot be seen from each other, he commented "It is difficult to imagine how such a striking alignment could occur purely by chance." Archaeology One of the first archaeological surveys of Bodmin Moor, including Craddock Moor Circle was carried out c. 1800 by Nicholas Johnson and Peter Rose. Folklore Chris Barber and David Pykitt suggested that Craddock Moor is named after the ancient British King of Arthurian legend Caradoc who has been linked to the Pendragon Caractacus who fought the Romans.

Cradley Heath Workers' Institute

The Cradley Heath Workers' Institute (known locally as the 'Stute') was built between 1911 and 1912 in Lomey Town, Cradley Heath, West Midlands, England. It was built as a social centre for the people of Cradley Heath and surrounding areas within the Black Country, intended to become a venue for educational meetings and lectures. It also housed Union offices, where members could come to seek guidance, and from which the Contributory Unemployment Fund would be distributed. In 2006 the building was threatened by a bypass and so was moved to the Black Country Living Museum in a collaborative project including Sandwell MBC, Midlands TUC and funded by the community and the Heritage Lottery Fund. Design and construction The Institute's architect was local man A. T. Butler. With its projected gables, leaded windows, exposed brickwork and signage in green tiles, the building is a demonstration of Arts and Crafts style. History Construction of the Institute was funded using money left over from the strike fund of the 1910 Women Chainmakers' Strike, led by the charismatic union organiser and leader Mary Macarthur. The dispute ended on the 22 October 1910 when the last of the employers agreed to pay the minimum wage. Between 1915 and 1933 it largely functioned as a cinema. It was then used as a billiards hall until 1950, after which it became a postal sorting office until 1995. In 2004, the building was threatened by demolition due to the construction of a new road bypass. Sandwell MBC approached the BCLM and with members of the community including the Midlands TUC and members of trade unions, a campaign was launched to save it. Supporters were invited to sponsor a brick and in 2006 the Heritage Lottery Fund awarded the museum a £1.5M grant to take the building apart brick by brick and rebuild it at the Museum in Dudley. Until the campaign to save the Workers' Institute, the story of the Women Chainmakers' Strike of 1910 had largely been forgotten. 2005 saw the first Women Chainmakers' Festival in association with the Midlands TUC and many unions, hosted at the museum. Now, the annual Women Chainmakers' Festival, which is still organised by Midlands TUC, is held in Cradley Heath, most recently at the Mary Macarthur Memorial Gardens on the site of the original strike meeting ground (next to the former site of the Workers' Institute). The building contains period offices, which are demonstrated by Museum staff, and an exhibition about Mary Macarthur. The original auditorium now houses a café for the museum and the stage is sometimes used for special events. References
