Brentford Dock

Brentford Dock in Brentford, west London, was a major trans-shipment point between the Great Western Railway (GWR) and barges on the River Thames. The building of Brentford Dock was started in 1855 and it was formally opened in 1859. The former dock yard was redeveloped in 1972 and is now Brentford Dock Marina and Brentford Dock Estate. History The original dock was built on a large island between the River Thames and two mouths of the River Brent. Part of the land was owned by timber merchant James Montgomrey in the 19th century. Brentford Dock was built by Great Western and Brentford Railway Company (later part of the GWR), to the south of the mouth of the River Brent and Grand Junction Canal, and opposite Kew Gardens. Montgomrey had sold part of his Montgomrey's Wharf premises to the company in 1855, including a corridor crossing the canal and river that enabled road access from the High Street (called Dock Road). The dock was constructed to a design by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The entrance to the dock was via a lock from the River Thames. The company also built the Brentford Branch Line to it from the GWR main line at Southall, which was originally at 7 ft gauge and terminated at the dock. Construction began in 1855 and was completed in 1859. Brunel's original covered dock was destroyed by fire in 1920 and replaced by an iron and steel structure. The dock provided a trans-shipment point for goods between the railway network and barges operating on the Thames to the Port of London. After World War I the Thames frontage was adapted for boats of up to 300 tons. Craft using the dock included heavy river barges, canal boats and sailing barges, and the dock offered customs facilities. Traffic included coal, steel, timber, wood pulp, flour, animal feedstuffs, cork, general merchandise and, in the 1950s, Morris cars from Oxford. Coke from Southall Gas Works was carried in daily block trains from Southall to the dock. Closure and redevelopment The dock closed on 31 December 1964. It was redeveloped as housing and a marina in 1972 by the Greater London Council (GLC), to a design drawn up by architect Roger Walters in 1968. Construction work for the Brentford Dock housing estate began in 1972 and the project was completed in 1978. The construction of Brentford Dock Marina started in 1978 and the official opening was on 7 August 1980. Sir Horace Cutler, then head of the GLC, sailed up river from County Hall on the boat Princess Freda. References External links and mapping Brentford Dock
Brentford School for Girls

Brentford School for Girls is a secondary school and sixth form with academy status for girls aged 11–18, in Brentford, Greater London, England. History The school was established as the Brentford British School in 1834, and was initially mixed. Lionel de Rothschild and Charlotte von Rothschild took an interest in the school after taking residence at nearby Gunnersbury Park in 1835. Baroness Charlotte commenced a series of charitable donations and schemes, that culminated with her financing of a new school building in 1857. The Baroness' contributions continued until her death in 1884, and by 1906 the school had been renamed the Rothschild School. The Rothschild School building closed in 1930, to be replaced by a new building on the school's current site. Numbers at this new school grew to such an extent that in 1968, boys were moved to Isleworth and Syon School, and the Brentford school thereafter became for girls. In 2012, the school converted to academy status. In its three Ofsted inspections since 2011 the school has been assessed as "Good". Marias Leenders is the current Headteacher.

Brick-Lane-Moschee

Brick Lane Jamme Masjid (Bengali: ব্রিক লেন জামে মসজিদ „Brick Lane Great Mosque“), zuvor bekannt unter dem Namen London Jamme Masjid (লন্ডন জামে মসজিদ „London Great Mosque“), ist eine Moschee in 59 Brick Lane an der Ecke Brick Lane und Fournier Street im Stadtteil Spitalfields im Londoner East End, England. Sie dient der größten Gemeinde von Muslimen aus Bangladesch in Großbritannien. Das Gebäude, das im 18. Jahrhundert errichtet wurde und bereits verschiedenen Religionsgemeinschaften diente, zählt zu den ältesten erhaltenen Gebäuden im East End und steht unter Denkmalschutz (Grade II). Geschichte 1743 erbauten aus Frankreich eingewanderte Hugenotten an der Ecke Brick Lane und Fournier Street die Neuve Eglise, eine protestantische Kirche, und nutzten sie über sechs Jahrzehnte als Gotteshaus. 1809 machten Missionare der London Society for Promoting Christianity Amongst the Jews unter ihrem Gründer, dem Konvertiten Joseph Frey, das Gebäude als The Jews’ Chapel zum Zentrum der Missionierung der wachsenden jüdischen Bevölkerung. Ab 1819 war es Kirche der methodistischen Gemeinde. Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts diente die Kirche wiederum der Missionierung der zahlreichen vor den Pogromen im zaristischen Russland geflohenen Juden. 1897 machte die litauische orthodoxe jüdische Gruppe Mahzikei Hadas (Festiger des Glaubens) das Gotteshaus zur Synagoge namens Machzikei HaDath. Es erfolgten verschiedene Umbauten, etwa an der Galerie, um den Innenraum für jüdische Zeremonien nutzbar zu machen. Unter dem Dach der ehemaligen Kirche wurde eine Thora-Schule eingerichtet. Als die Zahl der Juden im Stadtteil sank, u. a. durch deren Abwanderung in den Londoner Norden, wurde die Synagoge in den 1960er Jahren geschlossen. Durch die wachsende Zahl der Muslime aus Indien und Bangladesch im Stadtteil machte man das Gotteshaus ab 1976 unter dem Namen London Jamme Masjid zur Moschee. Umbauarbeiten in den nun folgenden zehn Jahren machten den Innenraum zu einem zweistöckigen Gebetsraum. Das Gebäude steht seit 1950 unter Denkmalschutz (Grade II* listed). Weblinks Einzelnachweise
Brickfields Meadow

Brickfields Meadow is a meadow in Woodside in the London Borough of Croydon. It is located on the former site of a brickworks in Tennison Road and Dickensons Lane. The meadow covers an area of about 4.37 hectares. The meadow is not very well known to residents on Tennison Road, as the entrance is very secluded, beyond an EDF Energy transformer. The meadow includes: large pond where fishing is allowed, dipping platform, Buddleia Valley, grassland and woodland planting, small woodland area, and a children's play area which includes a mini maze and roundabout. Brickfields Meadow is the site of the defunct Woodside brickworks which the Council was able to take control of as a planning gain in the early 1990s. The meadow is somewhat unkempt, with an amount of rubbish scattered around the deep pond, filled with cloudy brown water. A community group has been formed to try to maintain the park and raise funds. Heavers Meadow, also located on Tennison Road, is not as big as Brickfields Meadow.

Bridge Cottage

Bridge Cottage is a 16th-century thatched cottage in Flatford, East Bergholt, Suffolk, England. It has been a National Trust property since 1943 and a Grade II* listed building since 1955. The National Trust market the property under the name "Flatford: Bridge Cottage". The building is timber framed, but this is not evident from the outside as it is rendered. The II* grading, unusual for an architecturally unremarkable cottage, "reflects the importance of the cottage as part of the Flatford Mill group and its significance in the work of John Constable". The property is located in the heart of Dedham Vale, a typical Suffolk rural landscape. It is noted as the location for works by John Constable, and presents an exhibition of his paintings. The cottage is located just upstream from Flatford Mill which, along with neighbouring Valley Farm and Willy Lott's Cottage, are leased to the Field Studies Council; a group uses them as locations for arts-based courses. The property provides access to a number of walks along the River Stour. References External links Map sources for Bridge Cottage Flatford - National Trust
Bridge End Gardens

Bridge End Gardens is a group of linked ornamental gardens in Saffron Walden, Essex, England. The gardens are listed Grade II* on the Register of Parks and Gardens. They are located off Castle Street, close to the Fry Art Gallery. Features include a maze. History and restoration Bridge End Gardens were built part on fields and previous garden on the edge of Saffron Walden and covers an area of 2.7 hectares (7 acres). The area was set out as gardens from around 1828 by Atkinson Francis Gibson and his wife Elizabeth. From 1838, his son Francis Gibson – who, as a Quaker, was interested in horticulture and had also completed a garden design for his sister – began creating a new garden with the help of a local nurseryman William Chater (breeder of Chater Hollyhocks). Gibson considered the Dutch garden to be of utmost importance, and as such should be visible to visitors as they enter. The hedge maze (based upon the layout of the maze at Hampton Court Palace) was planted around 1870, and restored in 1984 with 11,000 yew seedlings, by which stage the garden was under the management of a local agent and was used as a venue for shows by the Saffron Walden horticultural society. The site opened to the public in 1902 and the borough council took over responsibility for its management from 1918, designating it as a 'public pleasure ground'. In 1987, the garden was listed with English Heritage. In the same year, the maze was replanted and the kitchen garden cleared. Between 2002 and 2006 the garden was restored back to the 1870 plan. The kitchen garden reopened between 2009 and 2011, and in 2015 introduced a visitors centre with toilets, designed to look like a converted toolshed. Most non-native plant additions would have been in the UK by the time of Francis Gibson's death in 1858. Maze festival Bridge End Gardens has participated in the Maze Festival, which marks the town of Saffron Walden's three mazes. There is an historic turf labyrinth maze on the common and another in the town's Jubilee Gardens. It also holds 'The 3 Maze Challenge', an event founded by William Stanley. The first maze festival took place in 2011. References External links Bridge End Gardens on waymarking.com

Bridgemary School

Bridgemary School is an 11-16 secondary school with academy status in Gosport, Hampshire, England. Bridgemary School takes part of its cohort from the most deprived ward in Gosport. However, it has always been categorised as a failing school by Ofsted. In 2001, staff were given a DfES (Department for Education and Skills) bonus for significant improvement, of more than 7%, in the GCSE A*-C pass rate. Results continued to rise, until a fall of 4% in 2004 brought it back to 25% (DfES, 2004). This was despite Ofsted's assertion in July 2004, that: 'Results in 2003 were in line with those in similar schools at the end of Year 9, and above average for similar schools at the end of Year 11'. (Ofsted Report, 2004. pg.8) The school was also identified by DfES as being among 148 nationwide which were likely to have a "high number of persistent truants". It is perhaps to the credit of staff and external agencies, working with the community, that unauthorised absence remained as low as 3.5% during this time.(Dfes, 2004.ibid) The former principal, Richard Carlyle, introduced some ability-centred no-age-related classes (with year groups: E1, E2, E3, L1 and L2), and by 2006 the GCSE A to C pass rate had risen to 35%. In September 2006 it was announced that Bridgemary College was to be the first school in the country to offer teaching around the clock with teaching and extra-curricular activities taking place from 7am to 10pm and learning modules being available online at any time. The scheme was to be phased in over four years, beginning in September 2007. In the first and second stages, the school planned to ensure that teaching support was available 24 hours a day and in four different time slots for four different groups of students. Stage three would see teaching expanded to 364 days a year, while stage four envisages community users integrated into the pupils' school experience. References External links Official website
Bridgemarsh Island

Bridgemarsh Island is in the tidal part of the River Crouch in the English county of Essex, three miles upstream from Burnham-on-Crouch. The main river channel runs to the south between the island and Canewdon, and it is separated from the mainland to the north by Bridgemarsh and Althorne Creeks, channels of the estuary. Following a flood in 1736 Bridgemarsh Island was enclosed by a sea wall and a causeway was built giving access at low tide. Farming was supplemented by industry with the island used as a source of clay. This led to the construction of a brickworks of which the chimney (at grid reference TQ890967) survives. A tramway linked these works to a quay that was used by Thames barges. Shortsightedly, no serious effort was made to maintain the sea wall. The flood of 1953 caused the end of regular occupation of the island, which is now a haven for wildlife and salt marsh flowers. It is owned by the Bridgemarsh Island Trust.

Bridgewater House, Manchester

Bridgewater House is a former packing and shipping warehouse at 58–60 Whitworth Street, Manchester, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. History 20th century Bridgewater House was built as a shipping warehouse in 1912 to a design by Harry S. Fairhurst. It is built around a steel frame with a cladding of sandstone ashlar and white glazed terracotta in a large rectangular plan, with a loading bay at the rear. The building has eight storeys and a basement and 19 bays. The lower two floors are of stone, and the upper floors are of terracotta. Above the doorways are profile medallions of the Duke of Bridgewater. According to the architectural historian Clare Hartwell, Fairhurst's huge buildings are "steel-framed and built to high-quality fireproof specifications". The builders were J. Gerrard & Sons Ltd of Swinton. The authors of the Buildings of England series state that "Fairhurst's design revolutionised the business of loading and unloading goods and twenty-six lorries could be dealt with simultaneously using a drive-through system". The building was constructed for Lloyd's Packing Warehouses Limited and, like many warehouses, was built to a common design with steps to a raised ground floor with showroom and offices. The first floor contained more offices, waiting rooms for clients, and sample and pattern rooms all decorated to impress customers. The working areas above were plain with large windows to allow in natural light. Orders were packed there and sent to the basement on hoists powered by Manchester's hydraulic power system and packed into bales using hydraulic presses before dispatch. The warehouse was lighted by gas. 21st century By 2012, the building had been converted to offices and was owned by Bruntwood. In 2022 Renaker sold Bridgewater House to Watch This Space, a property developer. As of 2023, plans to convert the building into 53 apartments had been submitted to Manchester City Council.
