St Augustine's Church, Hammersmith

St Augustine's Church is a Roman Catholic parish church in Hammersmith, London, England. It is a Romanesque revival style church and was built in 1916. It is located on Fulham Palace Road, south of the Hammersmith Flyover. It was founded by Augustinian Friars from St Monica's Church in Hoxton who continue to serve the church. History Construction In 1903, the Archbishop of Westminster Herbert Vaughan invited the Augustinian Friars in Hoxton to come to Hammersmith and start a mission serving the local immigrant Irish Catholic community. A building was bought at 71 Comeragh Road to house a chapel and the friars. It was opened on Easter Sunday, 12 April 1903. Afterwards, the site of the current church was bought. On 16 September 1903, a temporary iron church on the site was opened. In March 1915, during the First World War, the foundation stone for St Augustine's Church was laid. The church was designed by Robert Leabon Curtis. On 14 October 1916, the church was opened. The original London Irish Welfare Bureau was founded by the early friars. It was based for many years in the church's parish centre, until it was formally established as an independent charity in 1974 and relocated to its own building in Hammersmith Grove. It closed in 2013. Developments In 1920, a new altar was added to the chapel of St Nicholas of Tolentino. In 1933, the church was consecrated. In 1952 a window depicting Nicholas of Tolentino was installed. The central panel in the stained glass windows above the main entrance includes a depiction of Hammersmith Bridge, conveying the founding community's commitment to the local area. In 1960, a new altar, designed by Donald Plaskett Marshall, was installed the lady chapel. In 1988, the church underwent a renovation with a new altar, ambo and font being installed. In 2018, the church underwent a refurbishment that included works and designs by Julian Stair and John Morgan. The church has since been further added to by pieces commissioned by the Augustinian community from other craftsmen, including a new central altar and tabernacle, and gilding work on the pillars. Parish The church holds a Saturday Vigil Mass at 6:00pm and four Sunday Masses at 9:00am, 10:30am, 12:15pm and 6.30pm. There are weekday Masses 8:00am and 12:15pm Monday to Friday and at 12:15pm on Saturday. All services are currently live-streamed online at churchservices.tv.

Municipal Buildings, Oldbury

The Municipal Buildings are in Oldbury town centre, West Midlands, England. The structure served as the headquarters of Oldbury Borough Council. History In the late 1880s the local board of health decided to procure municipal buildings for the town. The chosen site, on the corner of Halesowen and Freeth Street, adjoined an existing public hall and was next to the site previously occupied by the old chapel of St Nicholas which, after having become very dilapidated, had been demolished. The new building was designed by Wood and Kendrick of West Bromwich in the Renaissance style, built by John Dallow and Sons of Blackheath in brick with terracotta facings and was officially opened as "the Public Buildings" in 1891. The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage with five bays facing onto Freeth Street; the second bay from the left featured an arched doorway flanked by pilasters supporting an entablature. The other bays contained mullioned windows on the ground floor and round headed windows on the first floor. At roof level the second and fourth bays featured shaped gables containing small mullioned windows. The building also featured a prominent tower at its southeast corner with a clock, octagonal cupola and spire. The clock was designed and manufactured by Clement Pass of Oldbury. The principal rooms were the council chamber in the tower corner on the first floor and the public library on the ground floor. The public offices were accessed from Freeth Street whilst the public library had a separate entrance in Halesowen Street. Following population growth, largely associated with the local railway carriage works and iron manufacturing, the area became an urban district with the municipal buildings as its headquarters in 1894. A war memorial, to commemorate the lives of local service personnel who had died in the First World War was established outside the town hall. It initially took the form of a Mark IV tank which had been manufactured by Oldbury Carriage Works and donated by the War Office. A permanent war memorial, in the form of a cenotaph, was erected by John Dallow and Sons and unveiled by General Sir Ian Hamilton on 4 November 1926. The council was advanced to the status of municipal borough with the municipal buildings as its headquarters in 1935. The municipal offices continued to serve as the headquarters of the borough for much of the 20th century but ceased to be the local seat of government when the new Warley County Borough was formed at Smethwick Council House in 1966. Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, which was formed in 1974, was initially based at West Bromwich Town Hall but moved to modern facilities at the new Sandwell Council House on the east side of Freeth Street, Oldbury in 1989. The municipal buildings in Oldbury went on to serve as the local offices of Citizens Advice. Notes References

On 16 February 1886, the foundation stone was laid. On 14 July 1887, the church was both opened and consecrated. The church cost £3,800. In 1902, the English Franciscans came to serve the church. Developments Over the years, various alterations were made to the church and the friary. In 1907, the rood was lowered. In 1980, a new porch was built. From 1924 to 1925, the former hotel was refurbished and new benches were installed in the church. In 1927, the rood was removed. In 1929, the font was installed. In 1967, a new altar was installed. In 1972, the pulpit and two side altars were removed. In 1977–8, the old hotel was sold and a new friary was built to the south of the church. In 1990, some new benches from Gorton Monastery were added. In 2000, the porch was demolished. From 2002 to 2003, a new parish hall, called Greyfriars Hall, was built to the north of the church.

Exposition florale de Chelsea

L'Exposition florale de Chelsea (en anglais : Chelsea Flower Show) est une exposition horticole qui est organisée chaque année en mai pendant cinq jours par la Royal Horticultural Society dans l'enceinte de l'hôpital royal de Chelsea dans le quartier de Chelsea à Londres (Angleterre). C'est la manifestation la plus célèbre du genre au Royaume-Uni et peut-être dans le monde. Cette manifestation dure près d'une semaine pendant laquelle sont remis des prix récompensant les jardins exposés. Le jury est très exigeant : il note à la fois la créativité du jardin, l'innovation qu'il apporte, mais aussi la qualité des plantes qui le composent. Remporter un prix à Chelsea est donc aussi prestigieux pour le paysagiste que pour son sponsor ou l'entreprise qui réalise le jardin. Artistes invités Gabriella Possum Nungurrayi, artiste peintre aborigène d'Australie, y a réalisé en 2008 une fresque murale d'une longueur de vingt mètres.

Chelsea Flower Show

Il Chelsea Flower Show è la più grande ed importante esposizione floreale della Gran Bretagna. Tra le più antiche e frequentate al mondo, è organizzata annualmente dalla Royal Horticultural Society al Royal Hospital Chelsea ed è inserita tra le manifestazioni della stagione sociale. Storia L'idea di un'esposizione floreale di carattere nazionale nacque verso l'inizio dell'Ottocento. La prima Royal Horticultural Society Great Spring Show si tenne nel 1862, ai Giardini di Kensington. Precedentemente, tuttavia, la Royal Horticultural Society organizzò una mostra floreale nel 1833 presso i suoi giardini, a Chiswick. La fiera si tenne ai Giardini di Kensington fino al 1888, quando Royal Horticultural Society decise di spostarla nel cuore di Londra. Da qui l'idea di organizzare l'esposizione ai giardini dell'Inner Temple. Fu per merito di Harry Veitch che l'esposizione, nel 1913, si spostò al Royal Hospital Chelsea, dove si tiene tuttora. Nel 2013, in occasione del centenario del Chelsea Flower Show, per la prima volta un membro della famiglia reale ha esposto un proprio giardino. All'inaugurazione della creazione del principe Harry erano presenti la regina Elisabetta, il principe Filippo di Edimburgo ed il principe Carlo. Premi Ciascuna delle categorie per cui è previsto un premio ad ogni edizione assegna una medaglia d'oro, una d'argento dorato, una d'argento, una di bronzo. Categorie Flora Giardini ed esibizioni floreali Hogg Esibizioni arboree Knightian Esibizioni di vegetali ed erbe Lindley Esibizioni di specifico interesse educativo o scientifico Grenfell Esibizioni di quadri, fotografie, composizioni floreali Premi speciali Sono inoltre assegnati, con minore frequenza, dei premi speciali.

Chelsea Bridge

Chelsea Bridge är en hängbro över Themsen i London. Bron öppnades 1937, och ersatte då Victoria Bridge från 1857. Den förbinder Chelsea på norra stranden med Battersea på den södra. Byggnationen 1931 beslutade stadsfullmäktige i London att ersätta Victoria Bridge med en modern sexfilersbro till en kostnad av 695 000 brittiska pund (33, 8 miljoner i 2009 års penningvärde). På grund av den stora depressionen vägrade transportministreriet att bekosta projektet, men då depressionen gjorde att arbetslösheten ökade kraftigt i Battersea beviljades bidrag med 60% av kostnaden för en billigare fyrfilsbro för 365 000 pund (17,8 miljoner i 2009 års penningvärde) med villkoret att allt material skulle inskaffas inom det brittiska imperiet. 1934 flyttades en tillfällig gångbro som använts vid ombyggnaden av Lambeth Bridge och placerades bredvid den gamla bron innan rivningsarbetet påbörjades. Den nya bron färdigställdes fem månader före planen och inom budgeten. Den öppnades den 6 maj 1937 av Kanadas premiärminister William Lyon Mackenzie King, som var i London i samband med Georg VI:s kröning.

Jardin botanique de Chelsea

Le Jardin botanique de Chelsea (Chelsea Physic Garden) a été créé sous le nom de Apothecaries’ Garden à Londres, en Angleterre en 1673. C'est le deuxième plus ancien jardin botanique de Grande-Bretagne, après le jardin botanique de l'université d'Oxford créé en 1621. Son jardin de rocailles est le plus ancien jardin anglais consacré aux plantes alpines. Il abrite le plus grand olivier fructifère en Grande-Bretagne, protégé du froid par les hauts murs en briques du jardin, ainsi que sans doute le plus septentrional des pamplemoussiers poussant à l'extérieur. Jalousement gardé par la Worshipful Society of Apothecaries, le jardin est devenu un organisme de bienfaisance enregistré et a été ouvert au grand public pour la première fois en 1983. Le jardin est membre des London Museums of Health & Medicine. Historique La Worshipful Society of Apothecaries a créé le jardin sur un terrain loué par Sir John Danvers dans le quartier de Chelsea, à Londres. La maison sur le terrain, appelée Danvers House, était contigüe à la maison de Sir Thomas More. Danvers House a été démolie en 1696 pour faire place à Danvers Street. En 1713, le Dr Hans Sloane acheta à Charles Cheyne le Manoir de Chelsea, adjacent au terrain et, en 1722, il loua environ 4 acres (1,6 ha) à la Société des apothicaires pour 5 £ par an à perpétuité, exigeant seulement que le jardin offre à la Royal Society, dont il était le directeur, 50 échantillons d'espèces d'herbes utiles par an, pour un total de 2 000 plantes. Philip Miller devient le chef-jardinier du jardin botanique de Chelsea de 1722 jusqu'à sa mort. Il fit de cet établissement une des plus riches collections de plantes rares ou exotiques acclimatées en Europe, grâce à ses correspondants du monde entier.
