Withdean Stadium

Das Withdean Stadium ist ein Fußballstadion mit Leichtathletikanlage in der englischen Stadt Brighton, Vereinigtes Königreich. Es bietet Platz für 8.850 Zuschauer und diente dem Fußballverein Brighton & Hove Albion von 1999 bis 2011 als Heimspielstätte. Geschichte Das Withdean Stadium in Brighton, einer englischen Stadt an der Küste des Ärmelkanals in der Grafschaft East Sussex, wurde im Jahre 1936 erbaut und noch im gleichen Jahr eröffnet. Zunächst wurde es ausschließlich von Brighton & Hove Athletics Club, einem Leichtathletikverein aus Brighton and Hove, also aus der Stadt Brighton und deren Nachbarort Hove. Bis 2011 wurde es zudem vom Fußballverein Brighton & Hove Albion als Austragungsort für Heimspiele genutzt. Allerdings zog der Verein, der derzeit in der Premier League spielt, erst 1999 ins Withdean Stadium um, da das zuvor von dem Verein genutzte Stadion, der Goldstone Ground, 1997 verkauft und abgerissen wurde. Das Withdean Stadium ist nach einer Umfrage des Observer von 2004 eines der unbeliebtesten Stadien in Großbritannien. Brighton & Hove Albion plante seit längerem ein neues Stadion zu bauen; nachdem man den alten Goldstone Ground von 1901 verkaufte. Der Bau begann Ende 2008 und kostete ca. 100 Millionen £. Die neue Heimat der Seagulls, das den Namen Falmer Stadium (offizieller Sponsorenname: American Express Community Stadium) trägt, wurde Mitte 2011 fertiggestellt, sodass Brighton & Hove Albion zur Spielzeit 2011/12 in den Neubau umzog.

Richmond and Putney Unitarian Church

Richmond and Putney Unitarian Church is a Unitarian church in Ormond Road, Richmond, London. The church building, dating from 1896 and designed by the architect T Locke Worthington, includes an apse with five stained glass lancers, dating from 1912, by Morris & Co. A rear extension designed by Kenneth Tayler was opened in 1966. The Putney congregation merged into the Richmond congregation in 1985. The Putney Unitarian Church congregation had met at the Wandsworth Unitarian Church, which was expropriated in 1967 for a road-widening project. Their new church on the Upper Richmond Road opened in 1968. After the Putney congregation combined with Richmond, that building, also designed by Kenneth Tayler, was sold to the All Saints Liberal Catholic Church. Photographs Wandsworth Unitarian Church on East Hill (above left) was demolished in 1967 when the congregation moved to a new building in Upper Richmond Road, Putney (above right). This building was sold and became a Liberal Catholic Church when Putney Unitarians combined with Richmond in 1985. References External links Official website

Richmond Synagogue

Richmond Synagogue is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at Lichfield Gardens, in Richmond, in the Borough of Richmond upon Thames, London, England, in the United Kingdom. The congregation has 250 members and is a member community of the United Synagogue. History A Jewish community is known to have existed in Richmond in the late 17th century. King William III dined with Solomon de Medina, a Jewish businessman, at his country house in Richmond in November 1699. Until 1916, Richmond's Jewish religious community was known as the Richmond Hebrew Congregation. From 1916 to 1938, as Richmond Associate Synagogue, it met at Central Hall, Parkshot, Richmond, a building opened on 28 June 1916 by Leopold de Rothschild, the then-President of the United Synagogue. From 1938, the renamed Richmond District Synagogue met at a converted chapel at 8 Sheen Road, which was compulsorily purchased by Richmond upon Thames Council to make way for a Waitrose supermarket and multi-storey car park. Designed by Stern Thom Fehler Architects, a new purpose-built synagogue building at Lichfield Gardens was opened on 8 March 1987 by Chief Rabbi Sir Immanuel Jakobovits and Rabbi Moshe Barron. A rabbi's house was later built on part of the synagogue's car park. Clergy Richmond Synagogue's rabbi, since 2022, is Chaim Golker. Previous rabbis have included Maurice Ginsberg (1922–61), Yitzchak Schochet (1991–93), Jonathan Hughes (2013–15), Yossi Ives (2003–12) and Meir Shindler (2016–2022).

Richmond Theatre (London)

The present Richmond Theatre, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, is a British Victorian theatre located on Little Green, adjacent to Richmond Green. It opened on 18 September 1899 with a performance of As You Like It. One of the finest surviving examples of the work of theatre architect Frank Matcham, the building, in red brick with buff terracotta, is listed Grade II* by Historic England. John Earl, writing in 1982, described it as "[o]f outstanding importance as the most completely preserved Matcham theatre in Greater London and one of his most satisfying interiors." History The theatre, originally known as the Theatre Royal and Opera House, is structured into the familiar stalls, dress and upper circles, with four boxes at dress level. The auditorium is a mixture of gilt detailing and red plush fabrics, covering seats and front of circles. Its interior and exterior has been used as a movie set in many films (e.g. Evita, Topsy-Turvy, standing in for the Victorian Savoy Theatre, Finding Neverland—doubling as the Duke of York's Theatre, National Treasure: Book of Secrets—setting of Ford's Theatre) and TV programmes (e.g. Jonathan Creek). A new theatre company was formed in January 1950, with Oliver Gordon as resident producer. Members of the company included Martin Wyldeck, Peter Wyngarde, Raymond Francis, and Melanie Paul. In the early 1990s, the theatre underwent a major overhaul, overseen by the designer Carl Toms. This included a side extension giving more space for the audience and included a 'Matcham Room', today known as the Ambassador Lounge. The driving force behind the renovation of the theatre was Sally Greene, with strong support from Richmond upon Thames Council through its chief executive, Richard Harbord and Community Services Committee chairman Serge Lourie. The theatre is now part of ATG Entertainment and has a weekly schedule of plays and musicals, alongside special music events and children's shows. Pre-West End productions can often be seen. There is a Christmas and New Year pantomime tradition and many of Britain's greatest music hall and pantomime performers have appeared there. The theatre also offers a range of creative learning activities for adults and children, including drama, creative writing and singing. January 2013 saw Richmond Theatre extend access in the community when Suzanne Shaw and Tim Vine starred in the pantomime Aladdin, by offering its first relaxed performance as part of a pilot scheme initiated by ATG. In 2016, the theatre was honoured with the People's Choice Award at The Richmond Business Awards. References Sources Earl, John; Sell, Michael (2000).

Stanford Reservoir

Stanford Reservoir is a drinking water reservoir on the River Avon, England. It lies on the county boundary between Leicestershire and Northamptonshire near the village of Stanford-on-Avon. The reservoir was built between 1928 and 1930 by the Rugby Urban District Council to supply the nearby town of Rugby with drinking water. It was created by building an earth and clay dam across the original river, and flooding a small valley between the villages of South Kilworth and Stanford. At its north-eastern extremity, the river enters the reservoir via a settling pond and leaves at the other end via a spillway and a specially constructed channel below the dam. There is a by-pass channel along the northern perimeter, controlled by sluice gates, which allows the water level in the reservoir to be regulated and reduced for repair and maintenance works, and for the flow of water in the river below the dam to be maintained. The reservoir was enlarged between 1958 and 1959, and now covers an area of approximately 58 hectares (140 acres). The average width of the reservoir is around 300 metres (980 ft) and the overall length is approximately 1.8 kilometres (1.1 miles). Following a 1 in 100 year flood risk assessment, the spillway was substantially reconstructed in 2017. The reservoir is still used for its original role, but is now a top-up for the much larger Draycote Water reservoir, some 15 miles (24 km) to the south-west which was created in the 1960s. It is now owned by the company Severn Trent Water. The site is considered important for bird species including tufted duck, wigeon, pochard and shoveller and five species of bats. The Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire have a management agreement to look after wildlife aspects. The reservoir is open to public visits, but requires a permit.

Witton Lakes

Witton Lakes (previously known as Upper Witton Reservoir and Middle Witton Reservoir) are a pair of former drinking water reservoirs between the Perry Common and Erdington areas of Birmingham, England (not in nearby Witton). Two brooks, arising at Kingstanding and Bleak Hill, Erdington, respectively, feed first Witton Lakes, then overspill into Brookvale Park Lake (previously known as Lower Witton Reservoir), before reaching the River Tame, and eventually the Humber and the North Sea. The brooks are natural; the lakes were completed in 1880, to supply drinking water for Birmingham. They were then in the countryside, and the water relatively clean. Industrialisation and urban sprawl led to the water no longer being fit for drinking, so the city turned to the Elan Valley in Wales for a supply. The lakes' capacity is 80,200 m3 (104,900 cu yd). The lakes are now maintained as a leisure amenity by Birmingham City Council. One is used for model boating and the other nature conservation. The north Birmingham cycle route runs through the surrounding park. References External links Birmingham City Council page
Riddlesdown Collegiate

Riddlesdown Collegiate (formerly Riddlesdown High School) is a secondary school with academy status located in the Riddlesdown area of the London Borough of Croydon, UK. It is a coeducational school with around 2067 pupils (400 of those being post–16 students). The school takes its pupils mainly from the Sanderstead, Selsdon, Purley, Kenley, New Addington and South Croydon areas and specialises in science. Riddlesdown is the largest school in Croydon in terms of pupil numbers, and one of the most over-subscribed schools in the area. Government data shows that 219 pupils (13.4% of all pupils) are eligible for free school meals. History Riddlesdown school was built in 1957 and opened in January 1958 as a mixed secondary modern school. In 1971 it converted to comprehensive status, reopening as Riddlesdown High School, and remained a local authority mixed comprehensive school until 31 December 1991 when it was give grant maintained status. In 1996, a Sixth Form Centre was established on the site and Riddlesdown became a voluntary aided school under the Bourne Foundation in 1999. In September 2009, the school's name changed from Riddlesdown High School to Riddlesdown Collegiate, featuring six colleges; four of which hold a mixture of years 7–11, a Creative Performing Arts college and a Sixth Form college. The school gained Academy status on 1 June 2012. In 2017, the collegiate was awarded the World-class schools award, one of about 60 in the UK. Colleges Each of the seven colleges has a distinctive uniform colour variation based on the college colour. Four of the six colleges in the collegiate are 11–16 colleges with another for sixth form (16–19) and a Creative and Performing Arts College. Ofsted In a full Section 5 Ofsted inspection in 2016, the school was rated outstanding; however, an initial Section 8 inspection in 2021 suggested that a full inspection might have resulted in a lower rating, necessitating a full inspection next. The school received a full Section 5 Ofsted inspection on 21 March 2023 and was rated outstanding.
