Detonator (Thorpe Park)

Detonator (known as Detonator: Bombs Away from 2014 to 2021) is a tower drop ride located at Thorpe Park in Chertsey, Surrey, England. Manufactured by Fabbri, it is classified as a "Mega Drop Tower." The attraction opened in 2001 alongside two other flat rides, Vortex and Zodiac. The ride stands approximately 115 ft (35 m) tall and is manually released rather than being controlled by a computer. The operator, positioned at the base of the tower, can trigger the drop at any time once the car reaches the top. Upon release, the car is propelled downward by pneumatic mechanisms rather than relying solely on gravity, reaching a speed of 46 mph at the bottom of the drop and creating a sensation of weightlessness for riders. On-ride photography was introduced for the 2011 season but was removed in 2013. History In July 2000, a fire at Thorpe Park destroyed Wicked Witches Haunt and damaged part of Mr Rabbit's Tropical Travels. While the latter was later repaired and reopened, Wicked Witches Haunt was destroyed beyond repair, leaving a large vacant area in the park. To utilize this space, the park applied for temporary planning permission to install a Fabbri Mega-Drop ride. Detonator opened in 2001 as Thorpe Park's tallest attraction at 115 ft, replacing Wicked Witches Haunt. Following its initial success, the park secured extended planning permission, establishing the ride as a permanent installation. In 2007, a new theme tune was introduced after the park determined that continuing to pay royalties for the original soundtrack was no longer feasible. In 2014, coinciding with the opening of Angry Birds Land, the ride was rethemed as Detonator: Bombs Away. The original 2001 theme tune remained in use until 2016, when it was replaced with a more upbeat composition incorporating sound effects from the Angry Birds video games. In 2022, both the online website as well as entrance signage to the ride had been updated, with the name once again as "Detonator". In 2024, the ride was rethemed to fit in with Big Easy Boulevard.

Catedral de Sant Pere i Sant Pau (Bristol)

La Catedral de Sant Pere i Sant Pau de Bristol és la seva catedral catòlica. Construïda entre 1969 i 1973 substituint l'anterior Pro-catedral a un lloc diferent. Aquest edifici està catalogat com a Grau II*. Història Aquesta catedral es va construir per a substituir l'anterior Pro-catedral dels Sants Apòstols, construïda el 1848 a Park Place, la qual necessitava una urgent reforma. A la dècada de 1960 el bisbe Rudderham va decidir la reforma d'aquesta, però el generós oferiment d'un grup d'homes de negoci, va fer que en lloc de la reforma que s'estava estudiant de forma molt seriosa, es construís una de nova a un lloc nou a Clifton Park que es va acabar en 1973. El 1965 el despatx d'arquitectes Percy Thomas Partnership va dissenyar la nova catedral. El disseny acordat entre el bisbat i els arquitectes consistia en que un milenar de feligresos es poguessin agrupar al voltant de l'altar per poder tenir una participació plena i activa en la celebració de la missa. Altres requisits tractaven sobre la situació de la Capella del Santíssim Sagrament, la pila baptismal i el faristol. La disposició d'aquests elements en relació al moviment de les persones que entren i surten varen influir en el disseny i en la forma de l'edifici. Entrada Les grans portes d'entrada incorporen els escuts d'armes de la ciutat i el comtat de Bristol i l'Escut del setè bisbe de Clifton, Joseph Rudderham. Les principals portes de la catedral són la de Sant Pere (est) i la de Sant Pau [oest]. Interior Nàrtex Les portes d'entrada porten al nàrtex que conté dues finestres de vidres de color, per a la construcció de la qual es varen fer servir més de 8.000 peces de vidre recollides de molts llocs d'Europa. La finestra de l'esquerra anomenada Goig, expressa la llibertat i l'alegria que podríem experimentar en el descobriment de l'Esperit de Déu en les meravelles de la natura al món: caminar sobre una platja oberta on la terra, el mar i el cel es troben i barregen mostrant la bellesa de la natura. La finestra més gran, Pentecosta, expressa l'experiència joiosa de la presència de l'Esperit de Déu. Baptisteri La pila baptismal en pedra de Portland té tallat un peix, antic símbol de Crist (Ichthys). Hi ha una inscripció que diu 'Once you were no people now you are God's People' ('Abans no éreu poble, ara sou Poble de Déu') (1 Pere 2:10). L'arquitecte ha utilitzat la llum blanca natural per tal d'emfatitzar la importància del baptisteri en la vida del cristià. Nau La nau té una capacitat per a 1 000 persones, disposades al voltant de tres costats d'una forma hexagonal, de forma que ningú estigui a més de 15 metres de l'Altar. També podem observar que quan se celebra el Sagrament del Baptisme, aquest pot ser vist per a tothom, ja que la pila baptismal està situada a la part davantera de la catedral per tal que tothom pugui participar en la celebració. Faristol El Faristol està fet de contraxapat i cobert de fibra de vidre. Referències Enllaços externs Pàgina oficial de la catedral catòlica de Bristol

Kathedraal van Clifton

De kathedraal van Clifton, ook wel de kathedraal van Sint-Pieter en Sint-Paulus (Engels: Cathedral Church of SS. Peter and Paul), is een rooms-katholieke kathedraal in Clifton, Bristol, Engeland. Geschiedenis Prokathedraal van de Heilige Apostelen De kathedraal van Clifton heeft de eerdere prokathedraal van de Heilige Apostelen vervangen. Deze prokathedraal had nogal wat problemen gekend tijdens de bouw. Dit werd vooral veroorzaakt door het feit dat de kerk was gebouwd op een helling. In 1850 werd de half afgebouwde kerk de zetel van het bisdom, in afwachting van een betere kathedraal. Kathedraal van Clifton In 1965 werd begonnen met het ontwerpen van een nieuwe kathedraal, die op een andere plek in Clifton gebouwd zou worden. De kathedraal werd ontworpen door de architecten R. Weeks, F.S. Jennett en A. Poremba. In maart 1970 werd begonnen met de bouw, die in mei 1973 werd afgerond. Op 29 juni van dat jaar, tijdens het hoogfeest van de Heilige Petrus en Paulus, werd de nieuwe kathedraal ingewijd en de oude prokathedraal gesloten. Sinds 2000 heeft de kathedraal de status van Grade II* listed building. Externe link Officiële website

Devil's Jumps, Treyford

The Devil's Jumps are a group of five large bell barrows situated on the South Downs 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) south-east of Treyford in the county of West Sussex in southern England. The Devil's Jumps site is listed as a Scheduled Ancient Monument and as a Local Nature Reserve. Most barrows along the South Downs have been damaged by agriculture and treasure hunters but the Devil's Jumps are considered to be the best preserved Bronze Age barrow group in Sussex. The barrows are laid out in a line running approximately south-east to north-west. The five barrows vary in diameter from 26 to 34 metres (85 to 112 ft) and stand up to 4.8 metres (16 ft) high. Two smaller barrows were situated close to the five main mounds. Traces remain of a sixth barrow. The Devil's Jumps have been dated to the Bronze Age and they are believed to be between three and four thousand years old. The Devil's Jumps were explored in the 19th century, when bones were found in two of the mounds, although some of the barrows contained no cremated remains at all. The main line of five barrows is aligned with sunset on Midsummer Day. The site is managed by the Murray Downland Trust and is cleared of overgrowth. The land is currently grazed by sheep and cattle as a part of this management. In 2009 permission was given by the landowners to clear trees from the site and return it to chalk downland. Folklore The Devil's Jumps are the focus of local folklore, apparently transferred from the Devil's Jumps near Churt in the neighbouring county of Surrey. According to the story, the god Thor used to sit on Treyford Hill. One day the Devil saw the five barrows and started to jump from one to the next in order to amuse himself. This enraged Thor, who threw a stone at the Devil, causing him to flee.

Devonshire Dock Hall

Devonshire Dock Hall (DDH) is a large indoor shipbuilding and assembly complex that forms part of the BAE Systems shipyard in the Barrow Island area of Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England. History Constructed between 1982 and 1986 by Alfred McAlpine plc for Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering, DDH was built on land that was created by infilling part of Devonshire Dock with 2.4 million tonnes of sand pumped from nearby Roosecote Sands. The purpose of the indoor shipbuilding facility was to protect vessels from external weather conditions and prevent satellites from photographing secret technologies involved. DDH provides a controlled environment for ship and submarine assembly, and avoids the difficulties caused by building on the slope of traditional slipways. Outside the hall, a 24,300-tonne capacity shiplift allows completed vessels to be lowered into the water independently of the tide. Vessels can also be lifted out of the water and transferred to the hall. The shiplift was the largest in the world upon completion. The first use of the DDH was for construction of HMS Triumph, followed by the Vanguard-class submarines nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) (Vanguard, Victorious, Vigilant and Vengeance). The shipyard is currently constructing the Astute-class submarines the first of which HMS Astute was launched in 2007 and the Dreadnought-class, the replacement for the Vanguard-class of SSBN submarines. At 00:44 GMT on 30 October 2024, emergency services were called to a "significant fire" at the facility. Two people were taken to hospital for suspected smoke inhalation, but were later released. BAE Systems stated that all personnel were "accounted for" and that non-essential staff should not come to work that day and should work from home. Cumbria Police said there was "no nuclear risk". 15 fire appliances were sent to the scene by Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service. Structure and dimensions The steel frame DDH is the tallest building in Barrow at 51 metres (167 ft) and can be readily described as a 'Groundscraper' having an internal working length of 260 m (850 ft), width of 58 m (190 ft) and an area of 25,000 square metres (270,000 sq ft) - over 6 acres. DDH was extended in the late 2010s which added an additional 10,365 square metres (111,570 sq ft) of floor area thus totalling over 35,000 square metres (380,000 sq ft). It is visible from miles around, most notably from the Blackpool Promenade which is over 20 miles away. Future expansion DDH is at the centre of a £300 million redevelopment of the shipyard that commenced in late 2014. A large extension to the hall is under-construction to enable construction of the Dreadnought-class submarines, the replacement for the Vanguard-class SSBNs. Proposals were also put forward in 2019 to re-clad the DDH in its entirety to extend the lifetime of the building. The projects are the largest investment at the shipyard since the construction of DDH itself.

Devonshire Green

Devonshire Green is a small public open space at 53.3789°N 1.4783°W﻿ / 53.3789; -1.4783 within Sheffield city centre in South Yorkshire, England. It covers an area of approximately 9000 square metres and is designated as a district park by Sheffield City Council. It stands in the Devonshire Quarter of the city centre, bordered on its four sides by Devonshire Street, Fitzwilliam Street, Eldon Street and Wellington Street. It is the only large green space in the city centre. History Prior to World War II the area which is now Devonshire Green was a neighbourhood of housing and small firms. This area had originally been built in the first half of the 19th century on land belonging to William FitzWilliam, the 4th Earl FitzWilliam of Wentworth Woodhouse, who was the local lord of the manor. The Devonshire Green area of Sheffield was heavily bombed in the Sheffield Blitz of December 1940 with the thoroughfares of Chester Street, Devonshire Lane and the upper part of Broomhall Street being badly damaged and left as a bomb site. After the war the site was cleared and remained as an undeveloped area, eventually serving as a temporary car parking area for the city centre. In 1981 Devonshire Green was created as a public green area with seating and pedestrian footpaths crossing it, it was officially dedicated to those who died in the Blitz of 1940. In the 1990s a floodlit skatepark was built on the southern part of the Green for skateboarders and BMX bikers. By the early part of the 21st century the Green was looking rundown and needed a facelift with large flocks of pigeons gathering in the area. The building of much new property around the Green prompted the creation of the Devonshire Quarter Action Plan which urged investment for the benefit of new residents. Modern renovation On 29 January 2007, Sheffield City Council announced plans to upgrade Devonshire Green. The £1.6 million project was designed by the City Council's Regeneration Projects Design Team and funded by building developers who had built housing developments in the West Street area such as West One which faces onto Devonshire Green. The redevelopment included the complete relaying of all the turfed areas and the planting of 340 square metres of high-quality flower beds which contain more than 23,000 bulbs and 22 semi-mature trees. Sculptured "sitting walls" were created to provide 184 metres of seating and enclosure for the planting beds which line the boulevards which have improved lighting. A terraced grass amphitheatre space was also created which can be used for events and festivals. The skatepark remained open during the redevelopment which was carried out by the contractors Wrekin Construction and the revamped park was reopened in Spring 2008. References
Devonshire House Preparatory School

Devonshire House preparatory school is a co-educational independent IAPS day school for children from 2 to 13 for girls and boys. The school is based in four large Victorian houses in Hampstead. The school currently has about 640 pupils. History Devonshire House was established in 1989 by Michael Loveridge with his family. Mrs Stephanie Piper was appointed as the headmistress in September 2011 and was previously headmistress of King's House School, Richmond. One of the school's buildings, 69 Fitzjohns Avenue, was previously the premises of the Queen's House School, an independent day school for girls aged between 9 and 18 established in 1947. The house at 4 Arkwright Road was the former residence of Francis William Topham (1808–1877), a painter and one of Charles Dickens' illustrators. Operation The school is divided into four age groups. From age 2 to age 4, pupils are taught at the Nursery School at 6 and 4 Arkwright Road which is rated outstanding in all categories in its 2017 ISI report. At 4+, pupils move to the Lower School which is based at 69 Fitzjohns Avenue. Pupils move at 7+ into the Middle School based at 2 and 4 Arkwright Road. Finally, at 10+ (Year 6), pupils learn at the Upper School until they are 13 years of age. Pupils leave at 11+ or 13+. The school provides preparation for both exams. The school is noted for the excellence of its pastoral care and the preparation and quality of high quality food. Devonshire House is one of a large number of schools in the area (see list of schools in Hampstead) which has contributed to school-run traffic congestion in Hampstead. The school has intervened and collaborates with the Transport4schools school bus project. Fundraising Devonshire House has raised funds for two main charities over the past year, Rwanda Action and Mind. In addition over £15,000 was raised in the Big Sleepout in December 2020. Alumni After finishing at Devonshire House most pupils transfer to London day schools. Over the past five years about half the boys have gone to either Westminster School, University College School, St Paul's School, Highgate School or City of London School. Over the same period about half the girls have transferred to either St Paul's Girls' School, South Hampstead High School, North London Collegiate School, Francis Holland School or the City of London School for Girls Channing School. Pupils also progress to boarding schools such as Wycombe Abbey, Winchester College and Eton College. According to the 2017 ISI report, "preparation for the transfer to secondary schools is outstanding". Over the past five years one in eight senior school offers received have been either a scholarship or an exhibition. References External links www.devonshirehouseschool.co.uk
