Emmanuel Parish Church, Leyton

The Emmanuel Parish Church, Leyton, is a Grade II listed Church of England parish church in Lea Bridge Road, Leyton, in Greater London. History The origins of the church began in about 1902, when mission services began to be held in Sybourn Street elementary school under the auspices of All Saints parish church in Capworth Street, Leyton. Subsequently, a plot of land in Bloxhall Road at the junction with Lea Bridge Road was donated for a church by the property developer Sir Courtenay Warner, whose Warner Estate housing dominated the area. In 1906 a temporary brick church (now the church hall), designed by E. C. Frere, was opened, and in 1920 Emmanuel became a mission district. In June 1934, the foundation stone was laid for a new permanent church to be built alongside the temporary one, to the design of Martin Travers and T. F. W. Grant. The new church was consecrated on 20 April 1935. A separate ecclesiastical parish was formed for the church in the same year. Description The exterior is of red brick in a style described as "simple Tudor" or "vernacular Gothic". The ground plan is rectangular, 89 feet (27 m) in length, consisting of a nave with two aisles. The north aisle ends in a side chapel while the narrower south aisle which is next to the main road was built without windows to reduce traffic noise. The short chancel is at the same height as the nave, so that the roof is continuous along the length of the building. The planned capacity was for a congregation of 336 plus seating for the choir and clergy. The main door is at the west end which gives entry under a gallery. A cupola included in the original design was omitted through lack of funds Much of the church furniture, including the reredos, altar rail and font were designed by the architect. References

Readymoney Drinking Fountain

The Readymoney Drinking Fountain, also occasionally known as the Parsee Fountain, is a Grade II listed structure near the middle of the Broad Walk footpath on the east side of Regent's Park, in London. It lies southeast of London Zoo, close to the highest point of Regent's Park, about 41 metres (135 ft) above sea level, in an area with few trees, making it widely visible across the park. The drinking fountain was erected in 1869, with the £1,400 cost funded by Sir Cowasji Jehangir Readymoney, a successful Parsee businessman and philanthropist from Bombay, as a token of thanks to the people of England for their protection of the Parsees in British India. The structure was built to the Gothic design of Robert Keirle, who was the architect of the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association. It was constructed by the sculptor Henry Ross, using 10 tons of white marble from Sicily, and 4 tons of pink and grey granite from Aberdeen. The main four-sided structure rests on three octagonal steps. The central white marble block has a pink granite basin on each side, with granite standing blocks on the ground beside each basin. Small apertures were included at the base of the central block to allow dogs to drink. Above each basin is a carved marble panel, with one depicting a lion and another a Brahmin bull, topped by a frieze decorated with inlaid stars and a triangular pediment resembling a gable. The central block rises to a gabled spire with a decorative terminal, with three pink granite columnettes rising to a single pinnacle at each corner. Three of the gables have a carved bust, depicting Readymoney, Prince Albert, and Queen Victoria, and the fourth has a clock. The drinking fountain was unveiled on 1 August 1869 by Princess Mary of Teck; she was a granddaughter of George III, and her daughter later became Queen Mary. It was listed at Grade II in 1970, and was later restored in 1999–2000, with over £400,000 of funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund. A modern plaque above the basin on the south face of the fountain reads: "This fountain erected by the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association was the gift of Sir Cowasjee Jehangir (Companion of the Star of India), a wealthy Parsee gentleman of Bombay, as a token of gratitude to the people of England for the protection enjoyed by him and his Parsee fellow countrymen under the British rule in India. Inaugurated by H.R.H. Princess Mary, Duchess of Teck, 1869. Restoration supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund 1999 – 2000. Further restoration work was undertaken in 2016 and 2017. The water no longer runs, but a modern drinking fountain has been installed nearby.

Forbes House, Belgravia

Forbes House is a Grade II listed house at 10 Halkin Street, Belgravia, London SW1. History It was built in the early-mid 19th century, and was originally called Mortimer House after Edward Harley, 3rd Earl of Oxford and Earl Mortimer, for whom the house was built. It is named after Bernard Forbes, 8th Earl of Granard and his wife Beatrice Forbes, Countess of Granard, who had it as their principal residence. Forbes House was used to depict an Eastern European embassy, and Doris Day sang "Que Sera Sera" in the ballroom, in Alfred Hitchcock's film, The Man Who Knew Too Much. For over 50 years until 2010, it was the headquarters of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders. In 2010, the remaining 47-year lease was sold for about £40 million. Grant Wellbelove of Belgravia based Estate Agents Wellbelove Quested represented the Buyer. In 2012, The Guardian reported that it had been bought by David and Frederick Barclay through "offshore entities in Jersey and the British Virgin Islands (BVI)", and that they had spent £48 million, and the house would provide a London base for Sir David Barclay's son, Aidan Barclay. Forbes House was bought by Forbes House Ltd, registered in the BVI with a £48m loan, and a subsidiary company, the Jersey-registered Halkin St Development Ltd has made the appropriate planning applications to convert it back into a single home. In 2016 the Barclays sold it to former Qatar prime minister Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani. In 2020 Westminster City Council approved the wholesale remodelling of the original staircase, despite objections from the Council Officers. Notable residents Notable residents of Forbes House have included the Earl of Oxford and Earl Mortimer in the early to mid-19th century, and Edward Douglas-Pennant, 1st Baron Penrhyn from 1860.

Marlborough Street Magistrates Court

Marlborough Street Magistrates Court was a court of law at 19–21 Great Marlborough Street, Soho London, between the late 18th and late 20th centuries. It was designed by the Surveyor to the Metropolitan Police, John Dixon Butler. The court saw many significant trials, including those of Oscar Wilde, Christine Keeler, Keith Richards and John Lennon. The court closed in 1998 and is now The Courthouse Hotel London, a 5-star hotel next to London Palladium Theatre, and opposite Carnaby Street and Liberty London. History The Courthouse Hotel is located in the old Grade II listed Marlborough Street Magistrates Court building, which was the second-oldest magistrates court in the UK, dating back to the 1800s. The building has a turbulent history from its time as the Marlborough Street Magistrates Court, which set the scene for many famous cases over the years, involving figures such as John Lennon, Oscar Wilde, Johnny Rotten, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. In 1835 Charles Dickens worked as a reporter in previous building which stood on the same site, for the Morning Chronicle, and Louis Napoleon appeared in court as witness in a fraud case between attempts to establish a second empire in France in 1847. In 1895 Oscar Wilde sued the Marquess of Queensberry for criminal libel. The current building was designed between 1912 and 1913 by the Surveyor to the Metropolitan Police, John Dixon Butler. In 1963 Christine Keeler was taken to court over sex allegations which led to the Profumo scandal becoming public. In 1966 Bob Monkhouse faced a charge of conspiracy to defraud film distribution companies, and in 1967 former television presenter Katie Boyle gave evidence against a man facing careless driving charges after an accident. The building was centre to Mick Jagger's 1969 court case in which he was fined £200 for drugs charges. In 1973 fellow Rolling Stones member Keith Richards was fined £205 for possession of marijuana, heroin, mandrax, a revolver and an antique shotgun. In 1970 John Lennon was taken to court for exhibiting pictures deemed too sexually explicit in the London Art Gallery at 22 New Bond Street, and artist Francis Bacon was accused of possessing cannabis. In 1971 songwriter Lionel Bart was taken to the courthouse charged with drug possession and in 1977 Sex Pistols singer Johnny Rotten was fined £40 for possessing amphetamine sulphate. The last notable case before it became a hotel was in 1981 when John Miller, who masterminded the kidnapping of Ronnie Biggs, appeared in court after being arrested on arrival back from Barbados. In December 1982 David Martin escaped whilst attending a remand hearing at the Court. Using the roof he managed to get across to the Palladium Theatre, prompting a huge Police manhunt. Hotel The Magistrates Suites are located in the high-ceiling Judges quarters on the first, second and third floor of the original building, and contain the original Robert Adams fireplaces and oak flooring.

Stockport Armoury is a military installation in the Shaw Heath suburb of Stockport, Greater Manchester, England. It is a Grade II listed building. History The building was designed by Henry Bowman as the headquarters of the 4th Administrative Battalion, Cheshire Rifle Volunteer Corps in 1862. The unit evolved to become the 4th Volunteer Battalion, The Cheshire Regiment in 1883 and the 6th Battalion, Cheshire Regiment in 1908. The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to the Western Front and then being disbanded in 1920. After the war, a new 6th (Cheshire and Shropshire) Medium Brigade, Royal Garrison Artillery, was formed at the Armoury from the Cheshire Brigade, Royal Field Artillery, incorporating the former 6th Bn Cheshire Regiment and the Shropshire Royal Horse Artillery. In 1921, the new unit was redesignated 60th (6th Cheshire and Shropshire) Medium Brigade, RGA. In the late 1930s, the unit was converted into 81st Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery, which saw service in The Blitz, in the Orkney and Shetland Defences, and in the Middle East during the Second World War. After the war it became 360th (Mobile) Heavy AA Regiment, but was amalgamated with other regiments in Manchester when Anti-Aircraft Command was disbanded in 1955. "A" Company, the Mercian Volunteers was formed at the Armoury in 1967 and evolved to become the "A" Company, the 3rd (Volunteer) Battalion, The Cheshire Regiment in 1988 and Salerno Company, the Fire Support Battalion, The Cheshire Regiment in 1995. The presence at the Armoury was reduced to a mortar platoon of "B" (Cheshire) Company, The King's and Cheshire Regiment in 1999, of "A" (Cheshire) Company, The West Midlands Regiment in 2006 and of "A" (Cheshire) Company, 4th Battalion, The Mercian Regiment in 2007. The Armoury is still an active Army Reserve Centre. See also Listed buildings in Stockport References
Castle Armoury

The Castle Armoury is a military installation in Bury, Greater Manchester, England. History The armoury was designed as the headquarters of the 8th Lancashire Rifle Volunteer Corps and built on the remains of Bury Castle in 1868. An extension exhibiting the same architectural features was opened by the Duke of Connaught in November 1907. The 8th Lancashire Rifle Volunteer Corps evolved to become the 1st Volunteer Battalion, the Lancashire Fusiliers in 1883 and the 5th Battalion, the Lancashire Fusiliers in 1908. The battalion was mobilised at the armoury in September 1914 before being deployed to the Suez Canal, then to Gallipoli and ultimately to the Western Front. The armoury remained the home of the 5th battalion, the Lancashire Fusiliers through the inter-war period. A major fire took hold at the armoury in January 1943 during the Second World War, in which a fireman died and the building was seriously damaged, and it was not until summer 1952 that the restoration was complete. After the war the armoury continued to be used by the 5th battalion the Lancashire Fusiliers until the battalion was disbanded in 1967. The armoury was then used by a company of the 5th Battalion the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, a unit which evolved following amalgamations to become the Lancastrian and Cumbrian Volunteers in July 1999 and 4th Battalion the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment in July 2006. It is a Grade II Listed building. The building closed in June 2022 with the owners, a trust, citing safety grounds. The leaser, the Ministry of Defence's Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Association stated that funding was not available to carry out the estimated £2 million of urgent repairs, with further work required to modernise the building. Former units The following units were based at the armoury immediately before its closure: British Army W (Gallipoli) Company, 5th Battalion, Royal Regiment of Fusiliers B Detachment, 207 (Manchester) Field Hospital, Royal Army Medical Corps Lancashire Band and Corps of Drums of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers Community Cadet Forces Bury Detachment, Greater Manchester Army Cadet Force 1036 (Bury) Squadron, Greater Manchester Wing, Air Training Corps See also Listed buildings in Bury References
Blundell Arms

The Blundell Arms is a Grade II listed public house on Chorley Old Road in Horwich, a town on the edge of the West Pennine Moors in the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton, Greater Manchester, England. The building has 17th‑century origins with early 19th‑century work. It now forms part of the Chef & Brewer group and is owned by Greene King. History The Blundell Arms originated as a 17th‑century building, with further work carried out in the early 19th century, according to its official listing. Trade directories list a Blundell Arms on this site as early as 1825, and a 1938 report in The Bolton News, reprinted in 2001, recalled that the premises were known locally as the Moorgate Inn around 1838. The 1894 Ordnance Survey map, however, labels the building as the Horwich Moor Gate public house. By 1909 it was again recorded under the Blundell Arms name. On 24 November 1966, the Blundell Arms was designated a Grade II listed building. By 1982 the pub was operating as a Greenall Whitley establishment. As of 2026, the Blundell Arms forms part of the Chef & Brewer group and is owned by Greene King. Architecture The building is constructed in dressed stone with a stone‑slate roof. It has two storeys and a front arranged in five bays. The left‑hand bay projects forward, is angled, and rises slightly higher than the rest, while the two right‑hand bays are set back and lower. The projecting bay has a mix of narrow and wide windows and a round‑arched opening to the cellar. The next two bays contain multi‑light windows, including one where an earlier doorway has been filled in. A later porch stands at the main entrance, reached by steps. The end bays have three‑light windows, and another former doorway now contains a casement window. There are signs of an earlier entrance in the projecting bay. On the upper floor, some windows are blocked, boarded, or partly infilled. Chimneys stand along the roofline and at the gable end. At the back are lean-to additions, and the left gable wall has blind window openings. Inside, there is a fireplace with a corbelled stone lintel.

Worsley Court House

Worsley Court House is a conference and weddings venue in Worsley, Greater Manchester, England. Built in 1849 for Francis Egerton, 1st Earl of Ellesmere as the local manor court, it was later used as a magistrates' court. In 1966, it was granted Grade II listed status. History Worsley Court House was built in 1849 for Francis Egerton, 1st Earl of Ellesmere to be the court leet, the manorial court of Worsley. Before the courthouse was constructed, the site was used to house the village stocks. During the 1850s, the courthouse was also used as a night school for local tenants and estate workers. The court leet last sat in 1888, and from then it was used as a magistrates' court. The 1st Earl of Ellesmere and his son Algernon Egerton both used the courthouse for election meetings when they were MPs. On 27 December 1873, the Worsley Troop of the Duke of Lancaster's Own Yeomanry hosted a grand ball at the courthouse. The building also served as Worsley's town hall until the Urban District of Worsley was created in 1894. In 1923, John Egerton, 4th Earl of Ellesmere sold his Worsley estates including the courthouse. Bridgewater Estates Ltd owned the courthouse and used it for private functions. It was sold to Worsley Urban District Council in 1966 for £6500 and was granted Grade II listed status that same year. The building was extended the following year. In 1974, ownership passed to Salford City Council. Architecture The courthouse has a slate roof and is timber framed on a projecting stone plinth, and is one of the earliest examples of the Black-and-white Revival architecture in the United Kingdom. The studded framing has square panelling in its gables. The building centres around the large hall with tall gables surrounded by lower single-storey rooms. The gables have decorative bargeboards and finials. The doorway has a Tudor arched surround and a studded door. A ground-floor loggia with a balustrade forms a porchway.
