Southend Central Museum

Southend Central Museum is a museum in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England. The museum houses collections of local and natural history and contains a planetarium constructed by astronomer Harry Ford in 1984. The museum was opened in April 1981 in a Grade II listed building that was previously Southend's first free public library. The library service had moved to a new purpose built site on Victoria Avenue, which opened on 20 March 1974. The building The Museum was originally built in 1905 as a free library, with £8,000 of funding from Andrew Carnegie. The architect was Henry Thomas Hare. The building was listed in 1974. The collections The museum features a collection of original Ekco radios, manufactured by E.K. Cole & Co. Ltd. (or 'Ekco') formerly based in Southend. In the 1930s, this company was one of Britain's largest radio manufacturers. The displays also include local and natural history and archaeology. In September 2018 the museum opened a major exhibition of finds recovered from the wreck of HMS London, a 17th century Cromwellian era warship that exploded and sank in the Thames Estuary in 1665. The exhibition ran till July 2019. In May 2019 a new gallery opened to display the archaeological finds from the Royal Saxon tomb in Prittlewell, an Anglo-Saxon burial mound in the suburb of Prittlewell that was discovered in 2003 as a result of a road-widening scheme. The excavations unearthed a number of Anglo-Saxon artefacts that suggested a high-status burial; carbon dating has revealed that the burial probably dates from about 580 AD, and may have been the tomb of Sæxa, brother of Sæberht, King of Essex.

Southern Housing Group

Southern Housing Group was one of the largest and oldest housing associations in the UK, managing 30,000 homes for over 77,000 residents in London and the south east of England. History Southern Housing Group began as the Samuel Lewis Housing Trust in 1901 when Samuel Lewis, an English money-lender and philanthropist, died and left an endowment of £670,000 to set up a charitable trust to provide housing for the poor (equivalent to about £30 million in modern terms). Samuel Lewis Housing Trust completed its first properties in 1910 at Liverpool Road in Islington, London. These were: Ixworth Place, Chelsea (1912) Warner Road, Camberwell (1913–1919) Vanston Place, Walham Green, Fulham (1920–22) Dalston Lane, Hackney (1923) Lisgar Terrace, Fulham (1927) Amhurst Road, Hackney (1931–37) Amhurst Park, Stamford Hill (1938–39) In 2001 the Trust changed its name to Southern Housing Group to reflect the changing nature and scope of the organisation. In 2010, James Butcher Housing Association Ltd and South Wight Housing Association Ltd were amalgamated into a single charitable housing association, Southern Housing Group Ltd. In April 2019 The Guardian published allegations that the Group was punishing one of its tenants for speaking out about planning breaches in their block which discriminated against social tenants. In response, the Trust stated that it had been in ongoing communication with the tenants for some weeks, which was unrelated to any contact with the press. A proposed merger with Sanctuary Housing was abandoned in April 2021. Southern Housing Group merged with housing provider Optivo in December 2022 to form a new housing provider called Southern Housing. References External links Official website

У червні 2019 року Ofwat запропонував накласти штраф у розмірі 126 мільйонів фунтів стерлінгів у зв’язку з тим, що компанія Southern Water неналежним чином експлуатувала свої очисні споруди та навмисно надавала неправдиві дані про їхню роботу. Ofwat встановив, що ці порушення призвели до несанкціонованих і передчасних скидів стічних вод з очисних споруд, внаслідок чого стічні води потрапляли в навколишнє середовище, не пройшовши необхідних процесів очищення.

It is managed by the University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust. The building is served by Brighton & Hove bus routes 2, 59, 59A and 98. History The hospital has its origins in an infirmary which was built for the Steyning Poor Law Union Workhouse and which opened in 1835. After the workhouse moved to new premises at Upper Shoreham Road in 1901, the infirmary moved to the new site as well in 1906. The infirmary's medical staff, who became known as the "Southlands Guardians", looked after many wounded patients during the First World War. The infirmary became known as the Steyning Institution in 1930 and then became known as the Southlands Hospital in 1933. Many of its beds were given over to the care of injured soldiers during the Second World War. The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948. Staff at the hospital assisted in a major incident when a double-decker bus was blown off the Old Shoreham Bridge into the River Adur on 1 January 1949. The main ward block was opened in 1979. After maternity services were transferred to Worthing Hospital, the maternity ward closed on 7 June 1997. The transfer of other in-patient services to other hospitals allowed the old Harness Block to be demolished and the surplus land handed over for residential development in 2016. In 2018 a new eye care unit costing £7.5 million was officially opened by the Countess of Wessex. The hospital became part of University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust on 1 April 2021 as a result of the merger of Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust.

Southwark Crown Court

The Crown Court at Southwark, usually referred to as Southwark Crown Court, is a Crown Court venue at 1 English Grounds (off Battlebridge Lane) on the south bank of the River Thames between London Bridge and Tower Bridge in London. It operates within the South Eastern Region of His Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service. History Until the 1980s, the principal criminal court for south London was the Sessions House in Newington Causeway. However, as the number of criminal cases in south London grew, it became necessary to commission additional courthouse capacity for south London. The site selected, on the south bank of the River Thames, had been occupied by a large warehouse known as "Willson's Wharf", which was badly damaged in a fire in August 1971. The warehouse was demolished and the empty site was acquired by the Lord Chancellor's Department at a cost of £2 million. The new building was designed by the Property Services Agency in the modern style, built in yellow brick at a cost of £12.6 million, and was opened in 1983. The design involved a broadly symmetrical three-storey main frontage facing south onto English Grounds. It featured a long flat portico which was projected forward and supported by brick columns; it was fenestrated by small square casement windows on the ground floor and by rectangular casement windows on the first and second floors, and there was an additional, taller block behind the main frontage. A Royal coat of arms was mounted on the left hand side of the main frontage at first floor level. Internally, the building was laid out to accommodate 15 courtrooms, making it the fourth largest court centre in the country and the main serious fraud centre for the area. Notable cases Notable cases have included the trial and conviction of the publicist, Max Clifford, in April 2014, for indecent assault, the trial and conviction of the entertainer, Rolf Harris, in June 2014, for indecent assault, the trial and conviction of the disc jockey, Dave Lee Travis, in September 2014, for indecent assault, the trial and conviction of the tennis player, Boris Becker, in April 2022, for breaches of the Insolvency Act, the trial and conviction of the MP Imran Ahmad Khan in April 2022, for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy, and the trial and conviction of former chief executive of the Formula One Group, Bernie Ecclestone, for fraud in October 2023.

Southwell Racecourse

Southwell Racecourse ( SOWTH-wəl, -⁠wel, locally also SUDH-əl) is a thoroughbred horse racing venue located 2 miles (3 km) east of Southwell in Nottinghamshire, England. It is one of only six racecourses in the UK to have an all-weather track and is one of three courses in the UK with a Tapeta surface. Southwell previously used a track surface of Fibresand, a mixture of sand and wispy fibres before changing to Tapeta (a mixture of sand, wax and fibre) in 2021. National Hunt racing on a turf course also takes place at Southwell. In 2007, the Great Yorkshire Chase (now Skybet Chase) was held at Southwell, while Doncaster Racecourse was closed for redevelopment. Southwell racecourse will always be associated with female jockey Hayley Turner, who grew up locally and had her first job in racing with a trainer based adjacent to the track. The racecourse was forced to close temporarily in December 2012 when flooding caused major damage to both the track and the buildings on site. Meetings scheduled for the all-weather flat course were transferred to Wolverhampton and Lingfield. The course successfully re-opened on 5 February 2013 with a seven-race flat meeting. Initial meetings following the re-opening had a limited capacity while renovations continued. Drone controversy In January 2019, that 'betting' drones have become a nuisance at Southwell Racecourse. Drones have been flying over the racecourse and broadcasting live footage over the internet. BBC News pointed out that drone footage can be two seconds ahead of broadcasters, which gives punters a financial edge while "live betting." Greg Wood, a racing expert at the Guardian, said that racetracks are profiting from the time lag by selling tickets for boxes that have dedicated internet feeds. These feeds allow punters to use the fast connection to place bets. It was reported that drones had made an appearance "at every single meeting [at Southwell], for the last six months."
