Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem

Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is a Grade II listed public house in Nottingham, England, which claims to be the oldest in the country. The building rests against Castle Rock, upon which Nottingham Castle is built, and is attached to several caves, carved out of the soft sandstone. Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is one of several pubs that claim to be the oldest in England. Other establishments making similar claims include Ye Olde Salutation Inn and The Bell Inn, both also in Nottingham, Ye Olde Boar's Head in Middleton, Greater Manchester, and Ye Olde Fighting Cocks in St Albans, Hertfordshire. The pub claims to have been established in 1189, the year Richard the Lionheart became king and Pope Gregory VIII called for the Third Crusade; however, no documentary evidence supports this date. The caves cut into the rock behind the pub are believed to have been used as a brewhouse for Nottingham Castle and may date from around the time the castle was founded in 1067. The oldest parts of the present building are generally dated to between 1650 and 1660, although a map by John Speed shows a structure on the site in 1610. By 1751, the building was in use as an inn known as The Pilgrim, and it was shortly afterwards purchased by William Standford. The earliest recorded use of the name "Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem" dates from 1799. See also Listed buildings in Nottingham (Radford and Park ward) References External links Official website
Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem

Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem w Nottingham jest jednym z 20 pubów (włączając Ye Olde Salutation Inn i The Bell Inn również w Nottingham), które roszczą sobie prawo nazywania się najstarszymi pijalniami w Anglii. Namalowany napis głosi, że pub powstał w 1189 roku. Jakkolwiek nie istnieją niezbite dowody na potwierdzenie tej informacji, to główny budynek, zbudowany na wcześniejszych fundamentach, ma obecnie około trzysta lat. The Trip (jak nazywają pub okoliczni mieszkańcy) mieści się u podnóży Castle Rock w centrum miasta Nottingham. Nawiązując do lokalnej legendy, nazwa wywodzi się z XII wieku, z okresu krucjat do Ziemi Świętej: legenda głosi, że rycerze, którzy odpowiedzieli na wezwanie króla Ryszarda I po drodze do Jeruzalem, zatrzymali się w okolicznym zdrojowisku, napić się po pincie piwa. Niektórzy opowiadający legendy, przypuszczają, że nawet sam król kosztował tu piwa, aczkolwiek, wobec krótkotrwałego jedynie pobytu Ryszarda w Anglii, jest to mało prawdopodobne. Jakkolwiek, słowo "Trip" w nazwie pubu, nie znaczy całej podróży, ale zgodnie ze staroangielskim, przerwę w trakcie podróży. Cechy Pub jest znany dzięki swoim jaskiniom, wydrążonym w miękkim piaskowcu, (poniżej zamku) u podnóża którego pub został postawiony. Na jednym z poziomów w jaskini prowadzono kiedyś browar, jaskinie te pochodzą z okresu budowy zamku (1068). Przeklęty Galeon jest to mały model statku w jednym z barów. Okoliczni mieszkańcy powiadają, że wszystkie osoby, które wyczyściły ten statek, umarły dziwną śmiercią. Landlordzi nie pozwalali na czyszczenie statku, przez co pojawiły się na nim kilkucalowe warstwy kurzu. Galeon jest obecnie obudowany szkłem, lecz kiedyś kawałki kurzu spadały ludziom do piw. Pub Trip posiada antyczne krzesło. Powiada się, że kobieta, która zasiądzie na tym krześle, znacząco zwiększa swoje szanse na zajście w ciążę.

Eagle House School

Wellington College Prep (formerly Eagle House School) is a 3–13 co–educational preparatory school near Sandhurst in Berkshire, England. Founded in 1820, it originally only admitted boys, keeping them "until they went out into the world", however, as of 2000, it admits both boys and girls. It is one of the country's oldest preparatory schools. In September 2024, it changed its name to Wellington College Prep to reflect the close links it has with Wellington College. History Wellington College Prep was founded as Eagle House School in 1820 at Brook Green, Hammersmith. In 1860 it moved to a house named Brackenbury's at Wimbledon, then in 1886, after a major fire, moved to its present home at Sandhurst. In 1930 a severe outbreak of chicken-pox and measles reduced the school's numbers from twenty-nine to five, but the school soon recovered. The school was purchased by Wellington College in 1968 and shares most of its governors. Between 1957 and 1962 Nick Drake, later a singer-songwriter, attended the school and became head boy. He was taught French at the school by John Watson, who while still at Eagle House came second in the Eurovision Song Contest 1960 with his song "Looking High, High, High". Lieutenant-General Sir John Cowley chaired the school's Governing Body from 1968 to 1976. Present day Originally for boys only, Wellington College Prep now caters for boys and girls between the ages of two and thirteen. It is in the same ownership as Wellington College, forming part of the same registered charitable organization. A majority of pupils continue their secondary education at the college. Before the college became fully coeducational in 2005, most girls left at age 11 for secondary school.

Eaglehead and Bloodstone Copses

Eaglehead and Bloodstone Copses is a 10.3-hectare (25-acre) Site of Special Scientific Interest which is south of Ashey on the Isle of Wight. The site was notified in 1987 for its biological value. This area of woodland follows a stream at the foot of Ashey Down and is owned by the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, who manage it to encourage red squirrels and other local wildlife. The stream is said to contain stones stained red by the blood of a battle between "Saxons and Danes", although this is said to be due to red algae, although it is difficult to actually find any. The position is quite a likely one for such a battle as the valley through which the stream flows forms a defensive barrier against any force attempting to attack Carisbrooke from a landing in Bembridge Harbour. It could equally be the site of the battle between Saxons and Jutes in 686 CE where King Arwald was killed by King Caedwalla. In 1995 a Cruciform Brooch was brought to I.O.W Archaeological Centre. It was found at Bloodstone Copse. It had come from an Early Anglo-Saxon cemetery, or possible a secondary burial of an Anglo Saxon, at a Bronze Age cemetery which was located upslope of the find location.

Abbaye d'Ealing

L'abbaye d'Ealing (Ealing Abbey) est une abbaye bénédictine située en Angleterre à Castlebar Hill d'Ealing, quartier de Londres. Elle fait partie de la congrégation bénédictine anglaise. Elle est de style néo-gothique anglais. Histoire Ce monastère a été fondé en 1897 par l'abbaye de Downside, pour servir de paroisse dans l'archidiocèse de Westminster. Il obtient en 1916 le statut de prieuré (toujours dépendant de l'abbaye de Downside) et il est élevé au rang de prieuré indépendant en 1947, puis au statut d'abbaye en 1955 par Pie XII. Apostolat Paroisse Son apostolat majeur est l'administration de la paroisse d'Ealing à partir de l'abbatiale, consacrée à saint Benoît. Musique La chœur de garçons et d'hommes chante aux messes dominicales. Il est passé en 2005 à l'émission de la BBC intitulée Songs of Praise. L'abbaye donne de fréquents récitals de musique avec des concerts d'orgue et de chant choral et organise des concerts avec d'autres chorales. Hospitalité Les moines d'Ealing acceptent comme hôtes pour de courts séjours des laïcs ou des clercs à l'hôtellerie du monastère, selon la règle de saint Benoît. Ceux-ci donnent leur accord pour assister à la messe du matin et aux vêpres du soir avec les moines. De plus les fidèles peuvent venir chanter la liturgie des Heures avec les moines tous les jours à l'abbatiale. Des retraites sont organisées pour les hôtes. Enseignement Les moines ont fondé la St Benedict's School en 1902. Elle est dirigée par un laïc depuis 1987 et depuis 2012 elle est administrée par un conseil de gouverneurs laïcs. Elle ne dépend plus aujourd'hui directement de l'abbaye et accepte les filles depuis 2007. L'abbaye garde toutefois des liens avec l'école ainsi qu'avec l'école de filles St. Augustine's Priory à côté. Benedictine Study and Arts Centre Depuis 1992, les bénédictins s'occupent du Benedictine Study and Arts Centre, imaginé par l'abbé Francis Rossiter en 1986 et ouvert en 1992 par l'abbé Laurence Soper. L'abbé actuel, le T.R.P. Martin Shipperlee, a poursuivi le soutien de l'abbaye à cette fondation. Celle-ci est également encouragée par l'archidiocèse de Westminster. Elle offre un enseignement en arts libéraux aux adultes et un programme de liturgie sacrée, avec aussi des cours de théologie, et un cours d'été d'apprentissage du latin. Le Centre est basé à la Overton House, élégante maison de briques néo-gothique. Il publie une revue deux fois par an, Benedictine Culture.

Ealing Cricket Club Ground

Ealing Cricket Club Ground, also known as Corfton Road, is a cricket ground in Ealing, West London. The first recorded match on the ground was in 1874, when Ealing Cricket Club played MCC. The ground, which was formerly in Middlesex, was the venue for over 50 Middlesex Second XI fixtures between 1935 and 2011 and was used by Middlesex Cricket Board for one match in 2002. In 1973, the ground held its first Women's One Day International when Jamaica played Trinidad and Tobago in the 1973 Women's Cricket World Cup.

Eardington Halt railway station

Eardington Halt, originally named Eardington, is a railway station on the Severn Valley Railway near Eardington, south of Bridgnorth, in Shropshire. History Eardington was opened on 1 June 1868. It was six years after the opening of the Severn Valley line, mainly to serve the nearby Upper Forge and Lower Forge iron works. It was not readily accessible from the nearby villages of Chelmarsh and Eardington. On 1 April 1949 it was reduced to unstaffed status, although never deemed a halt. The station had a brick waiting room and single platform. In the later years under British Railways control, Eardington had much of its custom from fishermen at weekends and during the summer months. Although mistakenly thought by some people to have been closed as part of the Beeching axe in 1963 Eardington's planned closure pre-dated his report. Preservation When the Severn Valley Railway re-opened in preservation on 23 May 1970, Eardington was the only intermediate stop between Bridgnorth and Hampton Loade, resulting in its being renamed Eardington Halt. It was initially used for watering locomotives, having a ready supply of better quality water than Bridgnorth. The Halt closed temporarily for repair work in October 1979, and briefly reopened in 1981 before being finally deleted from the timetable in 1982. It has not been used in regular service since because of poor custom, land slippage and the fact that the station is situated on a 1-in-100 gradient. Another problem is the combination of the shortness of the platform face, normal SVR practice of marshalling the guard's compartment in the center of the train and the arched over bridge immediately to the north of the platform. This would prevent the train crew from being able to see the guard if the train was stopped with the guard's van on the platform, as is correct practice. The siding is now used for the storage of permanent way vehicles. A small band of volunteers stage regular "work-ins" to keep the station environs tidy. In 2023, the SVR announced that following negotiations with the Office of Rail and Road, the station would re-open on limited occasions for trains which would fit the platform, a maximum of four carriages. The timetable for the 2023 Autumn Steam Gala would include trains stopping at Eardington for the first time in 41 years, although initially limited to trains of three carriages. On Thursday 14 September 2023, the first timetabled services stopped at Eardington, a 4 coach train hauled by LMS Ivatt 4MT 43106. References Further reading Mitchell, Vic; Smith, Keith (2007).

Earlham Street Market

Earlham Street Market is a street market in situated in the Seven Dials area of Covent Garden on a short road between Shaftesbury Avenue and Monmouth Street. Licences to trade are issued by Camden London Borough Council. The market has street food and clothing for sale. It has 24 pitches and is open from Monday to Saturday, 10.00 to 16.00. History Early history (1710–1867) The street was completed in 1710 and it is likely that the market dates from then. Unregulated street markets allowed London to grow explosively in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The traders could move easily to the new population centres and enabled people to buy provisions without having to travel to the central London wholesale markets. In the early morning traders would load their barrows at the wholesale markets, clean and sort the goods, and then sell them in the new suburban streets. In many cases, the sites of these markets became London's modern high streets. Management by the police (1867–1927) In 1867, section six of the Metropolitan Streets Act effectively prohibited street trading. Following public meetings and press criticism, the act was amended within weeks. Section one of the Metropolitan Streets Act Amendment Act 1867 exempted traders but they were now subject to regulation by the police. In 1877 Adolphe Thompson describes the market as crowded with traders and being between the Seven Dials and Five Dials (now demolished to make way for Shaftesbury Avenue). In 1892 the market consisted of 41 stalls of which 12 were operated by shopkeepers and the remainder by independent street traders. The market was greatly diminished from its former size. The Market is described as "having existed beyond memory" and being "a marketing centre for the district". Management by local councils (1927–present) Metropolitan Borough of Holborn (1927–1965) The London County Council (General Powers) Act 1927 replaced police regulation with a new licensing regime administered by metropolitan borough councils. From 1927 to 1965 the market was managed by the Metropolitan Borough of Holborn. London Borough of Camden (1965–present) In 1965 the Borough of Holborn was abolished and its area became part of the London Borough of Camden. Perlmutter records the market having 22 pitches in 1983 but that they were largely unoccupied. He lists fresh seafood, antiques, and vintage records for sale. In the mid-1990s the market is described as consisting of 12 stalls selling army surplus, clothing new and second hand, wooden toys, and recorded music. Transport Bus Bus Routes 14, 19, 24, 29, and 176. Railway and tube The nearest stations are Covent Garden and Leicester Square .
