Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) i London organiserades 1946 av Sir Thomas Beecham som permanent symfoniorkester för Royal Philharmonic Society. Detta sällskap bildades 1813 av professionella musiker för att framföra och främja instrumentalmusik av olika orkestrar. RPO hade fore Cadogan Hall sin hemvist i Royal Festival Hall i London. Historik I sina tidiga dagar säkrade RPO lönsamma skivkontrakt och viktiga uppdrag, inklusive Glyndebourne Festival Opera och konserter i Royal Philharmonic Society. Efter Beechams död 1961 minskade orkesterns tillgångar kraftigt och man kämpade för att överleva fram till mitten av 1960-talet, då dess framtid säkrades efter en rapport från Arts Council rekommenderat den för offentligt stöd. Ännu en kris uppstod samtidigt när det verkade som att orkesterns rätt att kalla sig "Royal" kunde komma att återkallas. Efter Beechams död har RPO har haft sju chefsdirigenter, däribland Rudolf Kempe, Antal Doráti, André Previn och Vladimir Ashkenazy, samt från 2013 den nuvarande (2015) Charles Dutoit. Andra nära anknutna till orkestern har inkluderat Sir Charles Groves, Sir Charles Mackerras, Peter Maxwell Davies, Yehudi Menuhin och Leopold Stokowski. Från dess tidigaste dagar har orkestern varit aktiv i inspelningsstudior för filmmusik och grammofoninspelningar. RPO i våra dagar RPO ger en årlig serie konserter på Festival Hall och sedan 2004 har man en permanent bas i Cadogan Hall, en tidigare kyrka i Chelsea, omvandlas till en 900-platsers konsertsal och repetitionslokal. På Royal Albert Hall i London ger RPO föreställningar som sträcker sig från storskaliga kör- och orkesterverk till kvällar med populära klassiker. Orkestern har ett regionalt turnéprogram på platser över hela Storbritannien, och har etablerat residens i Aylesbury, Crawley, Croydon, Dartford, High Wycombe, Ipswich, Lowestoft, Northampton och Reading. RPO turnerar även regelbundet utomlands. Sedan 2010 har man spelat i Azerbajdzjan, Kanada, Kina, Tyskland, Italien, Japan, Ryssland, Spanien och USA. Under 2010-11 och två efterföljande säsonger var RPO den inhemska orkestern för en serie konserter i Montreux, Schweiz. Orkesterns samhälls- och utbildningaaktiviteter har fortsatt in på 2000-talet. I maj 2013 fick sex ungdomsensembler från Londons stadsdelar och en 3500 personer stark kör av barn från lokala grundskolor chansen att uppträda tillsammans med medlemmar i RPO på Albert Hall.

Flying Horse Inn

The Flying Horse Inn is a former public house in Nottingham. It was established around 1483. It is a Grade II listed building. It stands upon the site of the house which the Plumptre family erected for themselves when they first came to Nottingham in the 13th century. The first information of "The Flying Horse," is from 1400 when John de Plumtre founded Plumptre Hospital. The property forming the endowment included the oldest portion of The Flying Horse in The Poultry. In the 18th century it was called the "Travellers Inn". in 1791 at the Flying Horse Inn. In 1799 "The Flying Horse" was in the possession of one William Rowbotham. The house was described as being at the Hen Cross. In 1813, a great dinner was held to celebrate victory over Napoleon I. A figure of Napoleon had been brought from London by coach, and this was burned in the Market Place amidst scenes of excitement and rejoicing. By 1818, the owner was Robert Mackley. In 1826 the rent was £63 a year. The building was in bad condition and scarcely habitable. After repair the rent increased to £100 a year. In 1832 Jane Clark occupied The Inn. It was heavily restored in 1935. On Thursday 24 November 1977 Richard Branson, with John Mortimer, Johnny Rotten and entourage, visited the pub to celebrate Virgin Records being found not guilty at Nottingham Magistrates Court of charges relating to the promotion of The Sex Pistols' Never Mind the Bollocks album. A promo poster for the album had been displayed in the Virgin Record Store at 7 Kings Street, Nottingham, when complaints over the word 'bollocks' led the police to visit the shop on 9 November. After failing to comply with a request to remove the poster, the shop manager, Chris Serle, had been summoned to appear. Mortimer had been instructed to represent Virgin Records. It survived as a public house until 1989, when it was converted into a shop. It is now at the entrance to the Flying Horse Walk shopping mall. References
Fort Borstal

Fort Borstal was built as an afterthought from the 1859 Royal Commission on the Defence of the United Kingdom, by convict labour. Construction started in 1875 but was suspended in 1885. The fort was completed around 1895. it was one of a series of four forts that ringed Chatham. Fort Borstal was designed to hold the high ground southwest of Rochester, South East England. It is of polygonal design and was not originally armed. An anti-aircraft battery was based there in the Second World War. A 18 in (457 mm) gauge railway was built connecting the four Chatham ring forts of Borstal, Bridgewoods, Horsted and Luton. A rope-worked incline led west from Fort Borstal down to a gravel pit and wharf on the River Medway. About 600 yards (550 m) of track remains intact at Fort Borstal. After many years' use as a pig farm and store for the nearby Young Offenders Institution it was sold in 1991 to a company hoping to make it a museum, but that proved unsuccessful and the fort has been converted into living accommodation. There is no public access to the site. References Bibliography Out Of The Shadows, A History Of Borstal Village, by Stephen Hannington, 2015.

Fort Paull

Fort Paull ist eine Batterie am Nordufer des Humber in der Nähe des Dorfes Paull, flussabwärts von Hull im englischen Verwaltungsbezirk East Riding of Yorkshire. Batterien wurden in Paull von Heinrich VIII. und Karl I. im englischen Bürgerkrieg während der Belagerung von Hull und in den napoleonischen Kriegen gebaut. Das heutige Fort ist fünfeckig und entstand in den Jahren 1861–1864 nach Anforderungen der Royal Commission; es ist eines der zehn ‘’Palmerston Forts’’ in Nordengland. Die ursprüngliche Bestückung, 19 64-Pfünder-Vorderlader-Kanonen, wurde 1894 fast völlig zerstört, als man die Fundamente für drei Verschwindlafetten und zwei Schnellfeuergewehre baute. Eine Minenstation wurde 1886 hinzugefügt und ein Suchscheinwerfer folgte 1907. Am Beginn des Ersten Weltkrieges war man der Meinung, dass Fort Paull zu nah an Hull liege, und so wurden die Waffen abgebaut, als man die neuen Forts in Sunk Island und Stallingborough baute. Zwischen den Kriegen diente das Fort als Trainingsbasis und im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde es in ein Munitionslager für die russischen Konvoys umgewandelt; eine Entmagnetisierungsstation wurde ebenfalls hinzugefügt. 1960 wurde Fort Paull vom Verteidigungsministerium aufgelassen. 1964 fand sich eine Gruppe Freiwilliger, die Freunde von Fort Paull, die die Anlage übernahmen und begannen, das Fort als Museum zu restaurieren. Seit 2000 ist Fort Paull öffentlich zugänglich. Dort findet sich ein Wachsmuseum, das Figuren zeigt, die die lange Geschichte des Forts beeinflusst haben, und ein Arsenal mit verschiedenen Artilleriegeschützen und gepanzerten Fahrzeugen. Von Zeit zu Zeit finden in dem Fort auch verschiedene militärische Reenactments statt. In Fort Paull steht das letzte komplett erhaltene schwere Transportflugzeug vom Typ Blackburn Beverley.

Fort Paull

Fort Paull is a gun battery situated on the north bank of the Humber, near the village of Paull, downstream from Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. History Batteries have been built at Paull by Henry VIII, Charles I during the Civil War during the siege of Hull and the Napoleonic Wars. The first fort built on the site was started in 1542 with a capacity for 12 guns. The current fort is of pentagonal design and was built in 1861–4 and on the recommendations of the Royal Commission, hence it is one of the Palmerston Forts. The original emplacements, nineteen 64-pounder (29 kg) RML artillery pieces were concealed or demolished in 1894 when concrete emplacements for three 6-inch Breech Loading (BL) guns on hydropneumatic carriages and two 4.7-inch Quick Firing (QF) guns were built. A mining station was added in 1886 and searchlights followed in 1907. At the outset of the First World War, Paull was judged too close to Hull, so was disarmed when new forts were built at Sunk Island and Stallingborough. The fort was used as a training base between the wars, and during the Second World War, it was converted into a magazine to serve the Russian convoys; a degaussing station was also added. Fort Paull opened to the public as a museum in 2000. Following the closure of the Museum of Army Transport, it became the home of the last remaining complete Blackburn Beverley heavy transport aircraft. In January 2020, it was announced that the attraction would not be opening for the 2020 season. The museum's contents were auctioned on 19 September 2020. The contents auction raised a six-figure sum, the Blackburn Beverley bringing in £21,000 on its sale to the Solway Aviation Museum. In May 2024 a post on Facebook announced the site had been bought and would be undergoing works to reopen. The post referenced the desire to bring the site back for future generations and start running events there again. It mentions they will be starting from scratch after a lot of the museum's contents were auctioned off when it last closed. The attraction reopened on 28 September with a classic car weekend.

Fountain Inn, Ashurst

The Fountain Inn is a 16th-century public house in the village of Ashurst, in the Horsham district of West Sussex, England. After a period as a farmhouse, it was converted into the village inn and was extended and given a Georgian façade in the 18th century. English Heritage has listed the building at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance. History Ashurst is a small village and civil parish about 3 miles (5 km) north of the town of Steyning. The parish covers a large area (2,494 acres (1,009 ha)) and consists mostly of well-spaced farms and other scattered buildings, but a small settlement had developed around the Horsham—Steyning road by the early 16th century. Many of the present buildings are 16th-century, although in some cases they replaced older buildings. Development spread along the road in the 17th century. The first inn in the parish was to the south of the main settlement, near Horsebridge Common. It existed by the 17th century and over time was known by at least three names, the last of which was The Fountain. The building occupied by the present inn of that name was one of several timber-framed, partly tile-hung farmhouses in the centre of the village, opposite the village pond. It became an inn under the sign of the Red Lion by 1788, and adopted the name Fountain Inn soon afterwards. In the early 19th century, the building was extended: an extra wing was added on the north side, perpendicular to the original structure, in brick. In contrast to the tiled roof of the older part, the newer wing had a roof of slate. At the same time, the façade was altered from its original timber-framed appearance: the Georgian style, popular at the time, was adopted. Author Hilaire Belloc, who wrote extensively about Sussex in his fiction and non-fiction works, mentioned the Fountain Inn in his novel The Four Men: a Farrago; he wrote approvingly about the beer. The Fountain Inn was listed at Grade II by English Heritage on 9 May 1980; this defines it as a "nationally important" building of "special interest". Architecture The façade of the newer (north and west) part of the Fountain Inn, facing the road, was clad in painted cement during the 19th-century alterations. It has a range of two evenly spaced sash windows, a hipped roof of tiles, a steep-roofed entrance porch and two gable-end chimneys. The wing to the north is of brick with a slate-covered roof and sash windows. Both parts of the building have two storeys. Inside, there is a smaller bar with a large inglenook, and a larger bar to the rear. In popular culture In 1979, the pub was used to film the promotional video for the Paul McCartney Christmas song "Wonderful Christmastime" with his band Wings. References Notes Bibliography
1 Lancaster Circus, Birmingham

1 Lancaster Circus is a former municipal facility in Birmingham, England. It was the headquarters of West Midlands County Council from its formation in 1974 until its abolition in 1986. The building then served as offices of Birmingham City Council until 2022. History The building formed part of an initiative in the 1960s by Birmingham City Council to improve the road infrastructure in the area and to redevelop the city centre. The site selected for development had previously been occupied by the "Perryian Pen Works", a business owned by Perry & Co., which ceased trading on the site in the 1960s. The factory was demolished in the late 1960s and replaced, briefly, by a motor car and cycle accessory depot. The conversion of the depot into an office block, which was designed in the brutalist style, was completed in the early 1970s. The design of the new building preserved the shape of the motor depot with a main frontage of 17 bays facing the Lancaster Circus roundabout, and then a long side wing of 34 bays extending along Staniforth Street. The office block served as the headquarters of West Midlands County Council from its formation in April 1974 becoming known as "County Hall". Following the abolition of the county council in 1986, the building was renamed 1 Lancaster Circus and occupied, as workspace, by the architecture, engineering, building, finance, environmental and consumer services departments of Birmingham City Council. A programme of refurbishment works to convert the building to an open plan layout was undertaken by Wates Group at a cost of £23 million to plans by architects, Urban Design, and completed September 2010. The redevelopment, which increased the capacity of the building from 800 occupants to 2,000 occupants and involved the installation of 179 chilled beams, won a regional award from the British Council for Offices in 2011. The city council closed the building and announced the proposed redevelopment of the site in 2022. References

Alhampton Mission Church

Alhampton Mission Church is a Church of England chapel in Alhampton, Somerset, England. The tin tabernacle was erected in 1892 and now forms part of the Fosse Trinity Benefice. History Alhampton's iron church was erected in 1892 as a chapel of ease to the parish church of St Mary Magdalene at Ditcheat. A chapel of ease for Alhampton had been suggested as early as 1887. The rector of Ditcheat, Rev. C. E. Leir, determined to supply a chapel for Alhampton, in particular to serve those who struggled or were unable to get to the parish church, such as the elderly and sick. Rev. Leir, with assistance from members of his family, obtained the iron chapel in 1892 and Mr. Butt of Manor Farm gifted the church's seating. The opening service was held on 12 October 1892, which included an address from Rev. Preb. Ainslie. The chapel, which cost £250, was almost free from debt by the beginning of 1893. £15 of its cost had been covered by a grant from the Bath and Wells Diocesan Societies.

All Saints Chapel, Instow

All Saints Chapel is a combined Church of England chapel and community centre in Instow, Devon, England. History All Saints was designed by the local architect Mr. Burnett Napier Henderson Orphoot in memory of his late wife, Marjorie Harriet Orphoot, who died in 1933. Once constructed and furnished at his sole expense, Orphoot gifted the building to Instow as a chapel of ease to the parish church of St John. It was built on a plot of land provided by Mrs. Orphoot's sister, in an area of the village over half a mile from the parish church. Construction of the chapel began in September 1935, and it was dedicated by the Bishop of Exeter, the Right Rev. Lord William Cecil, on 27 February 1936. Today services at the chapel are held weekly between November and Easter and monthly during the summer. It also serves as a community centre. Architecture Orphoot designed the chapel in the Renaissance style, with seating for 45 people. The building has an apse at its east end, which contains a stone altar inlaid with Italian mosaics. The mahogany roof timbers were sourced from HMS Revenge. The east bellcote contains a single bell, supplied by Gillett & Johnston. References
Borough Hall, Bedford

Borough Hall, formerly County Hall, is a municipal building in Cauldwell Street, Bedford, Bedfordshire, England. It is the headquarters of Bedford Borough Council. History For much of the 20th century the Shire Hall in Bedford was the local facility for dispensing justice and the meeting place of Bedfordshire County Council. After deciding the old shire hall was inadequate for their needs, county leaders chose to procure a new county headquarters: the site selected on the south bank of the River Great Ouse had previously been used as a recreation ground. Construction of the new building, which was undertaken by Arthur Sanders Limited of Rushden, started in 1965. The new building was designed by the Deputy County Architect, Douglas Chalk, in the brutalist style and the design work was overseen by County Architect, John Barker. The design involved a reinforced concrete-framed structure with an asymmetrical main frontage facing Cauldwell Street which curved round on the left side down to the river; there was a canopied main entrance on the ground floor and there were exposed concrete beams above and below a continuous band of glazing on each of the six floors. Construction challenges with the reinforced concrete meant that the building was not completed until November 1969. It was officially opened as "County Hall" by the Duchess of Kent on 12 October 1970. Internally, the principal rooms were the council chamber and the committee rooms. Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, visited County Hall, before departing to open new facilities at Bedford Modern School, on 11 May 1976. After Bedfordshire County Council was abolished in April 2009, the building became known as "Borough Hall" and formed the headquarters of Bedford Borough Council, which had been based at the Old Town Hall until 2009.

Bowie Bandstand

The Bowie Bandstand is a listed building in Croydon Road Recreation Ground, a public park in Beckenham in the London Borough of Bromley. The bandstand was erected in 1905, designed by the McCallum and Hope Iron Foundry, Glasgow. It is believed to be the only surviving McCallum and Hope bandstand in the UK. As of 2024, the bandstand is being restored. On 16 August 1969, David Bowie helped organise, compere and perform at the Growth summer festival, a free music event based at the bandstand. The structure has been called the "Bowie Bandstand" by fans. A one-day festival called "Bowie's Beckenham Oddity" has been held several times in the park, celebrating Bowie's life and legacy.

Broadmead Baptist Church

Broadmead Baptist Church is a Baptist church in the Broadmead area of Bristol, England. The church was the first dissenting church in Bristol, founded by Dorothy Hazzard and four other dissenters in 1640. In its early years the church was persecuted and met in various locations around Bristol, but in 1671 the members of the church secured four rooms at the end of Broadmead, which were quickly converted into one large room for use as a chapel. Records of the Bristol Quakers suggest that these 4 rooms may have been their meeting house between 1656 and 1670 when they moved to a new meeting house at Blackfriars. If so George Fox and Margaret Fell, key founders of Quakerism, were likely married in one of the four rooms in 1669. The chapel continued in use until the 1960s. When the Broadmead area was redeveloped the church sold the ground lease for shops and built a new church above. The new church was designed by the architect Ronald Hubert Sims and opened in 1969. It features many brutalist elements, with the widespread use of raw concrete alongside timber panelling. When first opened, it featured a laminated timber spire that was removed due to being unsafe. The church was grade II listed in 2024 by Historic England. References External links Broadmead Baptist Church website
