Sutton Hoo

Sutton Hoo är en anglosaxisk begravningsplats cirka 10 km öster om Ipswich vid floden Debens mynning, nära Woodbridge, grevskapet Suffolk i sydöstra England. Namnet kommer av fornengelskans suþ (syd, söder) och tun, vilket har samma betydelse som svenskans tun (som i gårdstun) och -tuna, samt hoh vilket betyder "häl" och syftar på kullarnas form. På nutidssvenska skulle namnet alltså kunna översättas till "Sydtuna Häl". Gravplatsen består av 18 gravhögar med ett antal satellitgravar i anslutning till dessa. Platsen antas ha varit i bruk från cirka 600 till cirka 1050 e.Kr. Gravhögarna tillkom på 600-talet. Många av de övriga gravarna verkar innehålla kvarlevorna av avrättade vid den galgplats som anlades på platsen i den senare delen av perioden. Gravfältet Gravskicket varierar mellan brandgravar, inhumeringar och båtgravar. Utgrävningar har genomförts åren 1938 och 1939, på 1960-talet, samt även mellan 1986 och 1992. De flesta av gravhögarna har plundrats i äldre tider men gravhög nr. 1 är en av de rikaste gravarna som grävts ut från den här tiden. Ingen kropp har påträffats vid utgrävningar, men på grund av fosfathalten i jorden drar arkeologerna slutsatsen att kroppen och allt annat organiskt material helt lösts upp i den sura jorden. Den har daterats till cirka 625 e.Kr. Gravfynden och gravskick har stora likheter med fynd i gravar från ungefär samma tid i bland annat Vendel och Valsgärde i Uppland och innehåller bland annat rikt dekorerade vapen, hjälmar, beslag och silverföremål av olika slag. Det har spekulerats om vilka som kan tänkas ligga begravda i högarna. Goda kandidater är väl kungar av Östangeln, främst kung Rædwald eller kung Sigebert, som båda dog ungefär vid tidpunkten för båtgravens tillkomst. Skeppet Skeppet som en gång fanns i graven är rekonstruerat till ett 27 meter lång och 4,3 meter brett samt 1,3 meter djupt klinkbyggt skepp. Av skeppet återstod endast klinkernaglarna som borden varit fogade tillsammans med, klinkernaglarna låg i ett nästan orubbat läge i sanden. Vid utgrävningen fastställdes att skeppet har haft nio bordgångar samt 26 spant. Stävar har varit kraftigt utformade samt förmodas ha haft en jämn sväng från kölen upp till stävnocken. Spanten har troligen varit fästa på klampar, ett liknande sätt som Nydamskeppet eftersom det inte fanns några spik vid spantens läge. Det översta bordet har varit fäst med en 100 mm lång klinkernagel i spanten. Skeppet har varit utrustat med styråra samt håer (årtullar) för 20 roddare, samt ett råsegel I film I filmen The Dig från 2021 (med bl.a. Ralph Fiennes) berättas historien om den första utgrävningen i slutet av 1930-talet. Källor Albert Eskeröd Båtar från ekstock till trålare sid 33-34.

Canning Dock

Canning Dock on the River Mersey is part of the Port of Liverpool in northern England. The dock is in the southern dock system, connected to Salthouse Dock to the south and with access to the river via the Canning Half Tide Dock to the west. The Canning Graving Docks are accessed from the dock. History Canning Dock was opened in 1737 as the Dry Dock, a protected tidal basin providing an entrance to Old Dock. Having been subsequently enclosed as a wet dock three years earlier, in 1832 it was officially named after the Liverpool MP George Canning. To the east is the site of Old Dock, built in 1709, which was the world's first enclosed commercial dock. Canning Dock would have initially served ships involved in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Access to the northern half of the dock system was via George's Dock, George's Basin and into Prince's Dock. George's Basin was filled in 1874. George's Dock was filled in 1899, and its site is now the Pier Head. Along with the Albert Dock and others in the immediate vicinity, Canning Dock was abandoned as a commercial shipping facility in 1972 due to falling traffic and the rising cost of dredging. Graving docks Adjoining the dock basin are two dry graving dock built by Henry Berry between 1765 and 1769. They were lengthened and deepened by Jesse Hartley in the 1840s. In the 1980s the graving docks became part of the Merseyside Maritime Museum and home to two of the museum's ships, the pilot cutter Edmund Gardner and the schooner De Wadden. Redevelopment Canning Dock was restored from 1983, providing access to the Canning Graving Docks, which are part of the Merseyside Maritime Museum. By March 2009 work was completed on a £22 million extension of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, providing a further 1.4 mi (2.3 km) of navigable waterway. From Princes Dock, the extension passes the Pier Head and terminates at Canning Dock. The extension includes a small canal basin at Mann Island near Pier Head, and a new lock providing access to Canning Dock. References Sources Ashmore, Owen (1982).

Canning Half Tide Dock

Canning Half Tide Dock on the River Mersey, in Liverpool, England, is a half tide dock and is part of the Port of Liverpool. It is situated in the southern dock system, connected to Canning Dock to the east and Albert Dock to the south. History The dock was originally the site of the Gut, the entrance to the Dry Dock which was later to become Canning Dock. Canning Half Tide Dock was built by Jesse Hartley between 1842 and 1844, also opening in 1844. Originally having two 45 ft (14 m) lock entrances to the Mersey, the north gates were sealed with a concrete dam in 1937. The south gates are modified to accommodate a valve to admit river water. To the outside of the river entrances are two granite octagonal gatemen's shelters, also designed by Hartley. An island built of masonry, which has its own lighthouse, separates the river entrances. Adjacent to the dock is the Pilotage Building, which opened in 1883 to manage the river's pilot boats. The building was converted in 1980 by the Building Design Partnership for use as a museum. Both this building and the dock itself are now part of Merseyside Maritime Museum. References Sources Ashmore, Owen (1982). The Industrial Archaeology of North-west England.

Cannon Hill Common

Cannon Hill Common is a public park in the London Borough of Merton. It is situated near Raynes Park and Morden. It is also the location of a Local Nature Reserve and the Paddock Allotments. History Cannon Hill Common is not common land. It was but part of the former extensive holdings of Merton Priory, founded in the 12th century and later part of Cannon Hill Estate. The land was farmed for many centuries until Cannon Hill House was built, probably shortly after 1762. The ornamental lake was created in the 18th century and is a remnant of the former landscaped grounds of Cannon Hill House. By 1880 the house was empty and the surrounding land farmed. The house was sited at the top of the common at the edge of the pond and woodland that was first designated a bird sanctuary in 1927. During its heyday in the nineteenth century a steeple chase of local gentry used to take place from Raynes' farm at West Barnes to Cannon Hill lake and back along what is today Blenheim Road. The Cannon Hill estate was well stocked with pheasants, partridges, hares and rabbits and entertained shooting parties. Local house builder Mr Blay offered 60 acres (24 ha) of land to Merton and Morden Urban District Council for the creation of Cannon Hill Common. The Council agreed to purchase 53½ acres at a cost of £17,610. The Park officially opened on the 9 April 1927. The pavilion that once stood on the common housed a holiday play scheme in the early seventies and a cafe in the late 1980s. In 2008 the pavilion was destroyed in a fire started by arsonists. The remains were demolished and plans to rebuild it by Merton Council have come to nothing.

Universiteit van Leeds

De Universiteit van Leeds (Engels: University of Leeds) is een belangrijke onderzoeksuniversiteit in Engeland en een van de grootste in het Verenigd Koninkrijk met meer dan 32.000 studenten. De universiteit is opgericht in 1904 en maakt deel uit van de zes oorspronkelijke burgeruniversiteiten. Geschiedenis De geschiedenis van de universiteit is verbonden met de ontwikkeling van Leeds als internationaal centrum voor de textiel- en kledingindustrie in het victoriaanse tijdperk. De geschiedenis strekt zich uit tot begin negentiende eeuw, en het was een van zes burgeruniversiteiten aan het begin van de twintigste eeuw. Voorafgaand aan de uitbreidingsgolf in het hoger onderwijs waren er slechts vier universiteiten in Engeland gevestigd: Oxford, Cambridge, Londen en Durham. Oorsprong In 1831 werd het Leeds College van Medicijnen opgericht, die moest voorzien in de behoeften van de vijf medische instellingen die in de stad waren gevestigd. In 1874 trad het Yorkshire College van Wetenschappen toe tot het Leeds college om onderwijs voor de kinderen van middenklasse industriëlen en handelaars te verstrekken. De financiële steun van de lokale industrie was essentieel. Het college van wetenschappen werd gemodelleerd naar Owens College, dat in 1851 als niet-sectair alternatief aan Oxford en Cambridge werd gevestigd. Hier werden godsdienstige tests toegepast en wie niet behoorde tot de Anglicaanse Kerk kon hier geen graad behalen of werd in het geheel niet toegelaten. Owens College, zoals de vroegere University College London, paste dergelijke toetsen niet toe en stond open voor protestanten, katholieken en joden. Toen de godsdienstige toetsing voor studenten in Oxford en Cambridge in de 1850e jaren ophield, bleven de noordelijke universiteiten het aanbieden van een verschillend type onderwijs bevorderen. Zij waren trots op de progressieve en pragmatische aard van hun wetenschappelijk onderwijs, een gebied waarop de oude universiteiten, met hun nadruk op theologische studie, achterbleven. Het College van Wetenschap begon met onderwijs in de experimentele fysica, wiskunde, de geologie, mijnbouw, chemie en biologie, en werd spoedig bekend als internationaal centrum voor de studie van techniek en textieltechnologie. In 1887 voegden de twee colleges zich samen. Externe link (en) Officiële website

Лидсский университет

Лидсский университет или Университет Лидса (англ. University of Leeds) — один из крупнейших университетов Великобритании, около 7500 постоянных сотрудников и 35 тыс. очных студентов. Он входит в первую десятку британских университетов как по объёму научно-исследовательской работы, так и по количеству студентов. Также входит в группу «университетов из красного кирпича» и в группу Рассел. Кампус университета расположен непосредственно рядом с центром Лидса. История Создание университета тесно связано с развитием Лидса как центра текстильного и промышленного производства в Викторианскую эпоху. До XIX века в Англии существовало четыре университета: в Оксфорде, Кембридже, Лондоне и Дареме. Помимо географических ограничений эти университеты были открыты лишь членам англиканской церкви. В ответ в Лидсе, а также Бирмингеме, Ливерпуле и Манчестере появились высшие заведения, расположенные в индустриальных районах и свободные от конфессиональных ограничений. В 1831 году в Лидсе была открыта Школа медицины. Затем в 1874 году появился Йоркширский научный колледж, в котором преподавались экспериментальная физика, математика, геология, горное дело, химия, включая химию красителей (предмет значимый для центра текстильного производства). В 1887 году Колледж был объединен со Школой Медицины. В следующем (1888) году Йоркширский колледж присоединился к федеральному университету Королевы Виктории совместно с подобными заведениями в Ливерпуле и Манчестере. В 1904 году по указу короля Эдуарда VIII отделение в Лидсе было преобразовано в собственно Лидсский университет. Современный статус В настоящее время Лидсский университет является одним из лучших учебных заведений в Великобритании, лидирующим в таких областях как электроника, производство продуктов питания, городское планирование и транспорт, химия красителей, преподавание английского и иностранных языков. Известные преподаватели и выпускники В Лидсском университете преподавали Вильям Брэгг, Джон Толкин, Джеффри Хилл. Среди выпускников Джефф Хун (министр обороны), Родерик Лайн (британский посол в Москве), Марк Нопфлер (гитарист), Джек Стро (министр иностранных дел), Воле Шойинка (Нобелевский лауреат по литературе), Пирс Селлерс (астронавт), Ханна Нью (актриса), Оливер Хьюз (Председатель Правления, член Совета директоров Тинькофф Банк), Стив Чимомбо (малавийский писатель, поэт, редактор, драматург и учитель). В настоящее время там работают, в частности, известный социолог, профессор З. Бауман, профессор философии Питер Саймонс, искусствовед и культуролог Гризельда Поллок.
