Sainsbury's, Camden

Sainsbury's supermarket, Camden is an architecturally notable supermarket building on Camden Road, north London, and is part of the J Sainsbury chain. It was designed by Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners and was completed in 1988, on the site of the former Aerated Bread Company Camden Town bakery. In 2019 it became the first purpose-built supermarket to be Grade II listed for its futuristic architecture. Overview The present supermarket building at 17–21 Camden Road was completed in 1988 for J Sainsbury, two years after construction began by Wimpey. It is a high-tech architecture structure, with use of exposed steel, aluminium panels and glass. It has a sales area of 30,883 square feet (2,869.1 m2) with underground parking for 299 cars. The site also includes a row of terrace houses (1–12 Grand Union Walk), the Grand Union House office block and a small crèche building comprising a row of studio spaces, for a site bounded by the Grand Union Canal and two of Camden's busiest roads. The building was Grade II listed on 19 July 2019 by Historic England. The listing had been proposed by the Twentieth Century Society to block proposals to re-develop the site, which included the high-tech supermarket. Construction In the early 1980s, J Sainsbury took ownership of the former Aerated Bread Company Camden Town bakery building in the heart of Camden, which had ceased production in 1982, with a view to developing a supermarket on the site. The site was roughly triangular, bounded on two sides by busy roads and on the third by the Grand Union Canal. In April 1985, Sainsbury's obtained outline planning permission for a scheme by Scott Brownrigg & Turner, but this was rejected by Sainsbury's newly established vetting committee, chaired by the architecture critic Colin Amery, who reported directly to Sainsbury's Chairman Sir John Sainsbury. Detailed planning permission was granted in May 1986, to designs by Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners, having been commended by the Royal Fine Art Commission as an "example of bold and enlightened patronage", even though it was opposed by the Regent's Canal Conservation Advisory Group. Construction began in August 1986, with Wimpey as the main contractor. Construction was completed in 1988 and the store was opened on 12 December 1988 by the then Sainsbury's Joint Managing Director Joe Barnes. On opening, it was described by The Guardian newspaper as being "Building of the year". References External links "The Early History of Sainsbury's in Camden". Local Local History.

West Yorkshire History Centre

The West Yorkshire History Centre is an archive in Wakefield, in West Yorkshire, in England. The centre evolved from the West Riding Registry of Deeds, opened on Kirkgate in Wakefield in 1704. This was the first such registry in England. In 1932, the records were transferred to a new building on Newstead Road in the city, later becoming the West Yorkshire Archive Service. It moved to its current building, back on Kirkgate, in 2016, by which time it held more than 10 million records. It is run by West Yorkshire Joint Services. In addition to the 7 million deeds, the centre holds surviving records of the West Riding of Yorkshire, from 1194 onwards, the National Coal Board collection of records relating to the local area, and the records of Stanley Royd Hospital. The building was designed by Broadway Malyan. It includes a local history centre on the ground floor, and the archives on the upper floors. These are surrounded by a metal mesh wrap, which is lit with changing colours in the evenings. References External links Official website

Hawk Conservancy Trust

The Hawk Conservancy Trust is a bird park and conservation charity that cares for and displays birds of prey. It is located in Weyhill, Hampshire, England, near to the A303 road and the town of Andover. The site is home to more than 130 birds of prey and it spans 22 acres of woodland and wildflower meadow. Founded as a zoo by local farmer Reg Smith and his wife Hilary, the park was incorporated as the Hawk Conservancy Trust in 2002. It is also the site of the National Bird of Prey Hospital, a veterinary hospital that takes in injured birds of prey. The Hawk Conservancy Trust funds its charitable work mainly from the running of its bird of prey visitor centre. In 2016, a male secretarybird that was kept at the Hawk Conservancy Trust was studied by researchers. They tested its kicking ability with experiments. The findings had implications for studying how other species move, including extinct birds. It was also suggested that this type of research about extreme examples of animal movement could help design fast-moving robot limbs or prosthetics.

Hawk Conservancy Trust

Hawk Conservancy Trust is een vogelpark en liefdadigheidsinstelling voor natuurbehoud die roofvogels verzorgt en tentoonstelt. Het park bevindt zich in Weyhill, Hampshire, Engeland, vlak bij de A303 en de plaats Andover. Het vogelpark houdt vele soorten roofvogels op een terrein van zo'n 9 hectare. Geschiedenis Reg Smith kocht in 1952 het huidige terrein om een boerderij te starten, wat zijn grote droom was geweest. Hij runde de boerderij met zijn vrouw Hilary en hield er koeien, varkens en kalkoenen, terwijl ze regelmatig jonge weesdieren opvingen. Ze kwamen regelmatig voor in diverse televisieprogramma's, waaronder het BBC-kinderprogramma Blue Peter. Door een optreden in dit programma kwamen er honderden mensen naar de boerderij om de dieren te bekijken en daarop besloten ze een deel van de boerderij te verkopen om geld te verkrijgen om een dierentuin te starten. In 1966 openden ze Weyhill Zoo, gespecialiseerd in Europese diersoorten, zoals wolven, beren en roofvogels. Hun zoon, Ashley, was gek van de roofvogels en samen trainden ze een aantal vogels om in 1975 te starten met een roofvogelshow. In de jaren 70 liepen de bezoekersaantallen voor de Europese diersoorten terug en, mede door Ashley's passie voor vogels, besloten ze zich te specialiseren in roofvogels. In 1980-1981 veranderde het park de naam in The Hawk Conservancy. De jaren daarna groeide de collectie en begonnen ze met fokprogramma's en natuurbehoud. Vele van de vogels werden gebruikt voor televisieprogramma's en films, waaronder James Bond films en The Life of Birds van David Attenborough. In de beginjaren van de 21e eeuw bouwde Hawk Conservancy, na drie jaar geld inzamelen, een modern roofvogelziekenhuis voor specialistische zorg en behandeling voor maximaal 200 zieke, gewonde of verweesde roofvogels die jaarlijks naar hen worden toegebracht: het National Bird of Prey Hospital. In het 2002 werd de Hawk Conservancy Trust opgericht, een liefdadigheidsinstelling voor rehabilitatie, natuurbehoud en onderzoek. Tegenwoordig pakt de instelling, naast projecten in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, ook projecten op in het buitenland zoals beschermingsprojecten voor gieren in Afrika en Azië. Vogels Het park houdt verschillende soorten roofvogels, valkachtigen en uilen. Daarnaast beheren ze het EEP-stamboek van de witruggier. Galerij

Regent's Park Barracks

The Regent's Park Barracks, commonly known as the Albany Street Barracks, is a British Army barracks located on Albany Street, London, near Regent's Park. History The barracks were constructed in 1820–1821 as cavalry barracks for the Life Guards and the Royal Artillery as part of John Nash's original design for Regent's Park. Nash had originally intended the barracks to be situated in the northern area of the park, well away from the residential area, and separated from the rest of the park by Regent's Canal. However Nash's plan was not accepted in its entirety by the Crown with one of the changes involving a change in the location of the barracks to its present site. In 1848, the barracks were described in the Topographical Dictionary of England: The cavalry barracks in Albany-road are neatly built of brick, and occupy an area of eight acres and a half; the buildings comprise accommodation for 400 men, with stabling for their horses, a riding-school, infirmary, magazine, and an extensive ground for exercise. Originally designed to house 450 officers and men and 400 horses the barracks were almost entirely rebuilt between 1891 and 1893. The rebuilding followed the original general layout, and carried out under the supervision of Colonel R. Athorpe. The layout comprises a complex of buildings arranged around a parade ground. The only building to survive from the original barracks is the officers' mess which was built between 1820 and 1821 and is situated on the east side of the parade ground. Other buildings at the northern end of the site include the Gothic chapel which was built in 1857 and the hospital which was built in 1877. Three parallel blocks used for soldiers' accommodation and stables, service buildings and the riding school were all built in 1891. From 1896 to 1969, the Royal Horse Guards were based there, which later became part of the Blues and Royals. On 24 September 1971 an anarchist group called the Angry Brigade bombed the barracks in response to Operation Banner, the British Army's presence in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. Current units Today the barracks are the home of 20 Logistic Support Squadron, Royal Logistic Corps, 21 Special Air Service Regiment (Artists) (Reserve) and the regimental headquarters of the Queen's Royal Hussars, as well as the Queen's Royal Hussars Collection Trust charity. Popular culture The music hall singer Ida Barr, whose real name was Maud Barlow, was born in the barracks on 17 January 1882, the daughter of a corporal-major in the Life Guards. In H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds, there is a mention of the barracks: "the sound of drumming and trumpeting came from the Albany Street Barracks".

Albany Theatre

The Albany is a multi-purpose arts centre in Deptford, south-east London. Facilities include a flexible performance space holding up to 300 seated or 500 standing and a bar, two studio theatres, a performance cafe and rehearsal / meeting rooms. The Albany currently hosts a varied programme of events including music, spoken word, theatre, club nights, and children's shows. Several arts and community organisations are based at the Albany including spoken-word promoters Apples & Snakes and Heart n Soul, who provide opportunities for artists with learning disabilities. History The Albany was originally established as The Deptford Fund in 1894 as a philanthropical group aimed at assisting the local community that had suffered since the closure of the dock in 1869. The fund took on a physical home when the purpose-built "Albany Institute" was opened in 1899 by its namesake, the Duchess of Albany. A daughter-in-law of Queen Victoria, the Duchess was an active patron of the Deptford Fund — a project founded to help women secure employment away from the dangerous local trades in the slaughterhouses. The Fund soon expanded its scope and the institute was built to house the various activities that supported and involved a local population with high levels of poverty and deprivation. In the early 1970s a touring theatre company, "The Combination", became resident at the Albany and the organisation began to focus on fusion between community work and the arts. The Albany Empire (as the Albany's theatre was then called) became a centre for Rock Against Racism and hosted fifteen gigs by musicians in support; for example Dire Straits, Squeeze, and Elvis Costello performed there. On 14 July 1978, the Albany Empire was destroyed by fire, the cause of which was not established. Arson was suspected. A new complex incorporating theatre spaces, a cafe, community rooms and offices was officially opened by Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1982. During the 1980s the Albany hosted performances by artists such as Elvis Costello, Squeeze, Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, Julian Clary, Courtney Pine and the Jazz Warriors. The building was also home to many social, creative and community organisations. Cuts in public funding in the 1990s meant the arts programme had to be scaled back. However, in 2001 the Royal National Theatre's Art of Regeneration initiative invested heavily in the organisation, enabling refurbishment of the building by Sprunt Architects to be completed and the re-establishment of a programme of performances. The Albany continues to develop its artistic programme with a focus on topical and community focused work. It also runs a number of initiatives, such as the Meet Me at the Albany campaign that aims to provide activity groups and performance opportunities for the local elderly community.

Albert Ball Memorial Homes

The Albert Ball Memorial Homes were erected in 1922 in Lenton, Nottingham, England. Alderman Albert Ball commissioned the building of the Albert Ball Memorial Homes in Lenton to house the families of local servicemen killed in action, in memory of his son, Albert Ball, a fighter pilot who had been killed in World War I. Opened on 7 September 1922, the homes featured some unusual design elements. The building, containing eight residences, was created to evoke an aircraft, with the homes the wings, and the central porch reminiscent of a cockpit. The two centre homes had curving doors, windows, and walls that also fit the theme. Windows on the row are suggestive of propellers. They were also built with ease of use for the elderly in mind. The Albert Ball Memorial Homes were Grade II* listed in 1995. War memorial The Lenton War Memorial, located in front of the homes, includes Ball's name and was also paid for by the Ball family. It is also Grade II* listed. See also Grade II* listed buildings in Nottinghamshire Listed buildings in Nottingham (Dunkirk and Lenton ward) References
Albert Bridge, Datchet

Albert Bridge is a road bridge in England running north–south and carrying the B3021 between Datchet and Old Windsor. It crosses the River Thames on the reach between Old Windsor Lock and Romney Lock. It was rebuilt in brick in 1927 to replace a cast-iron bridge built in 1850–51. The Albert and Victoria Bridges in Datchet were built to replace the old Datchet Bridge as part of the rerouting of the Datchet to Windsor roads following the expansion of the grounds of Windsor Castle. Prince Albert is said to have had a part in the design The original bridge was built of cast iron and opened in 1851. In 1914 a large hole appeared in the bridge, but it was not until 1927 that the various authorities had agreed on its replacement and built it. The Thames Path crosses the bridge rejoining the original towpath on the Windsor side south of Home Park, the towpath access in Home Park, Windsor having been lost due to the Windsor Castle Act 1848. Datchet Bridge The first bridge at Datchet was a wooden structure built in 1706 funded by Queen Anne. This was replaced in 1770 by a ten-arch bridge of wood on stone piers but this collapsed in a flood in 1794, a ferry being reinstated in its place, until a third bridge was built on the remaining piers in 1812. When this structure collapsed in 1834 Berkshire and Buckinghamshire councils could not agree on the replacement with the result that whereas the former rebuilt their half in iron, the northern half was built by the latter in wood. This structure was removed in 1848 because the land on the Windsor side of the river became part of the private grounds of Windsor Castle. It was replaced by the Victoria and Albert Bridges.
