Brinkburn railway station

Brinkburn was a weatherboard-and corrugated-iron-built railway station in Northumberland on the Rothbury Branch built to serve the Healy Coate Colliery to which it was linked by a two-mile aerial ropeway. History In 1859 Parliament authorised the Wansbeck Railway Company to build the line from Morpeth to Reedsmouth. In 1862 the line from Morpeth to Scotsgap opened. The next year the Northumberland Central Railway were authorised to construct a line from Scotsgap to Ford on the Berwick to Kelso line. They were also permitted to build a short branch line to Cornhill. Due to financial difficulties the line was to be built in stages starting with the section from Scotsgap to Rothbury which was started in August 1869 and completed by November 1870. The North British Railway and the branch line became part of the London and North Eastern Railway in 1923. In September 1952 passenger services were withdrawn and the line closed in November 1963. Constructed to serve a local colliery the station was poorly used, and was first downgraded to a halt, and then closed in 1963. All that survives of the station is the stationmaster's house.

Brinklow Castle

Brinklow Castle (kendt som the Tump) var en middeladerborg ved landsbyen Brinklow i grevskabet Warwickshire mellem Coventry og Rugby. Brinklow var tilsyneladende en forhistorisk gravhøj, hvorfra det har fået det oldengelske hlāw i navnet Brinklow som senere blev modificeret af Earl Alberic, den første normaniske herre over Brinklow, men han forlod sit jarldømme i Northumbria og mistede sin jord i England, inden Domesday Book blev skrevet omkring 1085. Hans land og titel blev dog ikke tabt inden Domesday Book blev skrevet, så der er gode optegnelser over, hvad han havde af land. Brinklow er en stor motte-and-baileyfæstning: motten er 12 m høj og den oprindelige bailey var 121 m bred og 152 m lang, senere er baileyen blevet formindsket ved at grave en voldgrav og en vold tværs igennem bailyen. Det tyder på, at Brinklow langsomt mistede sin betydning. Kildehenvisninger Referencer Litteratur Creighton C, 2002: Castles and Landscapes Power, Community and Fortification in Medieval England.

Brinklow Castle

Brinklow Castle, in seiner Gegend auch The Tump genannt, ist eine mittelalterliche abgegangene Burg im Dorf Brinklow zwischen Coventry und Rugby in der englischen Grafschaft Warwickshire. Geschichte Brinklow diente wohl zunächst als prähistorisches Hünengrab, daher der altenglische Namensteil hlāw. Earl Alberic ließ es später umbauen. Alberic war der erste normannische Herr von Brinklow; er hatte sein Earldom in Northumberland verlassen und verlor so seine Ländereien in England, bevor das Domesday Book geschrieben wurde. Aber seine Ländereien und Titel waren nicht wieder vergeben, als das Domesday Book geschrieben wurde, daher ist der Umfang seiner Ländereien gut dokumentiert. Brinklow Castle ist eine große Motte. Der Mound ist 12 Meter hoch und die Burgmauer schloss ursprünglich eine Fläche von 121 Meter × 152 Meter ein. Offenbar wurde die Burg später verändert und ein kleineres Areal durch einen Wall und einen Graben in der Mitte der Burg abgeteilt. Dies legt den langsamen Niedergang von Brinklow Castle nahe.

Brinklow Castle

Brinklow Castle, known locally as the Tump, is a medieval castle in the village of Brinklow in the county of Warwickshire between Coventry and Rugby. History Brinklow seems to have first been used as a prehistoric barrow, hence the old English 'hlāw' in the name Brinklow. It was later modified during the late 11th century by Aubrey de Coucy, the first Norman lord of Brinklow, but he left his Earldom in Northumbria and thus lost his lands in England before the writing of the Domesday Book of 1086. However his land and title had not been reassigned by the time of the Domesday survey, so there is a good record of his land holdings. The castle was abandoned during the 13th century for unknown reasons. Brinklow Castle is a motte-and-bailey castle of grand size: the motte is 12 m high and its original bailey was 121m wide by 152m long. Later it seems that Brinklow's bailey was modified to enclose a smaller area by cutting a ditch and forming a rampart in the middle of the bailey; this seems to suggest that Brinklow slowly declined.

Brisons

The Brisons (French: Brisant, the present participle of briser meaning 'shoal of rocks' or literally 'breaker') is a twin-peaked islet in the Celtic Sea situated 1 mile (1.6 km) offshore from Cape Cornwall in Cornwall, on the south-western coast of Great Britain. Geography The Brisons (the name is French: brisant, 'reef, breaker') are 22 m (72 ft) and 27 m (89 ft) high and are said to resemble General Charles de Gaulle lying on his back ("General de Gaulle in his bath"). The rocks are connected to Gribba Point (Cornish: Pen an Gribow, meaning head of the reefs) by the Guthen Gwidden reef (Cornish: Kudhen Gwydn, meaning white hidden one). The gap in the reef is called the Adgiwar Gap (Cornish: Aja Wer, meaning green gap). In 1878, an article in the Cornishman newspaper names the reef between the ″Brissons″ and the land as Bridges, and the reef had three gaps; the nearest known as Rose-an-pons. Wildlife and ecology In 2016 the rocks were visited by the West Cornwall Ringing Group where they heard at least two European storm petrel (Hydrobates pelagicus) calling; an indication of breeding on the only known site in Cornwall. Sixty-six birds were ringed: European shag (Phalacrocorax aristotelis) – 42 including two adults razorbill (Alca torda) – 13 including seven adults guillemot (Uria aalge) – 11 including eight adults. History In 1851, the 250 ton brig New Commercial was wrecked, striking the ledge between the Great and Little Brisons. A dramatic rescue of the surviving crew was attempted, resulting in the death of all but two of the members. As a result, the National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck (later the RNLI) established a lifeboat in Sennen Cove in 1853, where one is still based today. Recreation During "Cape sports" an annual water sports event based on the beach at Cape Cornwall, swimming races are conducted from the Brisons back to the beach. References Gallery

Bristol Central Library

Bristol Central Library is a historic building on the south side of College Green, Bristol, England. It contains the main collections of Bristol's public library. Built in 1906 by Charles Holden, its design was influential in the development of Edwardian Free Style architecture. Holden would later go on to build the Edward VII Memorial Wing of the Bristol Royal Infirmary, giving Bristol two of its most highly regarded Edwardian buildings. The Library has been designated by Historic England as a Grade I listed building. Construction In 1899 Vincent Stuckey Lean left a bequest of £50,000 to replace Bristol's old public library building on King Street. An architectural competition was organised, and won by the firm of H. Percy Adams with designs by his assistant Charles Holden, at a cost of £30,000. The RIBA also credits involvement of Henry Percy Adams, along with Holden, for the reference library reading room. The new library was built on land adjacent to the historic Abbey Gatehouse, and opened in 1906. Exterior architecture Because of the slope of the site, which falls away sharply to the south, the building has two basement levels creating five visible storeys at the rear, while only three storeys are visible at the front. The north front of the building is a blend of Tudor Revival and Modern Movement styles, designed to harmonise with the adjoining Abbey Gatehouse. The rear facades to the south and east are in a plainer style, with vertical features such as towers and flat buttresses being used to frame the great mass of the building. Holden's approach to handling large volumes, of which his design for the Library was one of the most highly regarded examples, made him influential within the Modern Movement. For this he has been compared with his contemporary Charles Rennie Mackintosh. A western extension was built in 1967, in a design sympathetic to the original building. Interior architecture In contrast to the exterior, the interior is largely Neoclassical, with extensive use being made of round-arched vaulting. The entrance hall, which is at the eastern end of the north front, has vaulting faced in turquoise glass mosaic. A variety of different kinds of marble is used for the flooring and other facings in the entrance hall and for the main staircase. The ground floor next to the entrance hall contains the Lending Library. Above it is the Reference Library Reading Room, whose space includes the first floor and two tiers of galleries. It is tunnel vaulted, with glass above. Next to the Reading Room is the Bristol Room, which contains antique furniture and fittings brought from the old reading room in King Street, including an ornate oak overmantel carved by Grinling Gibbons. The building's size created a need to transmit natural light throughout the interior. Holden made extensive use of skylights, glass screens and glass-block roof and floor panels.

Bristol General Hospital

Bristol General Hospital (sometimes referred to as BGH or Bristol General) was a healthcare facility in Guinea Street, Harbourside, Bristol, in the south west of England. It opened in 1832 and closed in 2012. The BGH was managed by the University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust. The building has since been converted into apartments. History The hospital has its origins in a small house in Guinea Street where it was established with 20 beds in 1832, primarily with support of Quakers. Construction of purpose-built facility, at a site previously occupied by Bathurst Ironworks and designed by William Bruce Gingell, was undertaken between 1852 and 1856. An extension was opened by the Duke of Edinburgh in 1891. The nurses accommodation, designed by Henry Crisp and Sir George Oatley, was completed in 1895 and extended in 1907. The King Edward VII Wing, a substantial additional clinical facility, followed in 1914, just before the start of the First World War. The ogee dome on the roof of the hospital was completely destroyed and the roof badly damaged during the Second World War. Although for much of the post-war period the hospital continued to be one of the main providers of clinical services to the Bristol and North Somerset area, in later years it became a specialist rehabilitation hospital. In 2008, the hospital was used as the filming location for the BBC Three drama series Being Human, which was broadcast in early 2009. After services moved to the Bristol Royal Infirmary and to the new South Bristol Community Hospital, the hospital closed on 4 April 2012. The site was subsequently acquired by City & Country, a property developer, who have restored the ogee dome on the roof of the hospital as part of works to convert the hospital into apartments. Archives Records and plans of the Bristol General Hospital are held at Bristol Archives (Ref. 40530) (online catalogue) and (Ref. 44931) (online catalogue).
