Pendour Cove

Pendour Cove (grid reference SW447389) is a beach in west Cornwall, England, UK. It is about 1 mile northwest of the village of Zennor, and immediately to the west of Zennor Head. The name originates from the Cornish 'pen' (end, head) and 'dour' (water) Mermaid legend A local legend the Mermaid of Zennor says that if you sit above Pendour Cove at sunset on a fine summer evening you might hear the singing of Matthew Trewella, of Zennor, who fell in love with a mermaid and followed her out to sea. According to the legend, Matthew Trewhella was a good-looking young man with a good voice. Each evening he would sing, in a solo, the closing hymn at the church in Zennor. A mermaid living in neighbouring Pendour Cove was enchanted by his singing. She dressed in a long dress to hide her long tail and walked, a little awkwardly, to the church. Initially, she just marvelled at Matthew's singing before slipping away to return to the sea. She came every day, and eventually became bolder, staying longer. It was on one of these visits that her gaze met Matthew's, and they fell in love. The mermaid knew, however, that she would have to go back to the sea or else she would die. As she prepared to leave, Matthew said "Please do not leave. Who are you? Where are you from?" The mermaid replied that she was a creature from the sea and that she had to return there. Matthew was so love-struck that he swore he would follow her wherever she went. Matthew carried her to the cove and followed her beneath the waves, never to be seen again. It is said that if one sits above Pendour Cove at sunset on a fine summer evening one may hear Matthew singing faintly on the breeze. The legend is the subject of the 1980 song "Mermaid" by Cornish folk singer Brenda Wootton. History At the parish church of St. Senara, visitors to Zennor may see a carved pew-end, over 600 years old, showing an image of the legendary mermaid. British abstract sculptor Dame Barbara Hepworth, who lived in Cornwall, produced Pendour between 1947 and 1948. It is now in the collection of the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington D.C. References
Peninsula Barracks

The Peninsula Barracks are a group of military buildings in Winchester, Hampshire. History The barracks, which were originally known as the Upper Barracks, Winchester, were built in the early 20th century on the site of King's House, an unfinished palace designed by Sir Christopher Wren for Charles II, which had been used for barracks from 1794 until it was destroyed by fire in 1894. Some parts of the barracks remain Grade II listed buildings in their own right including the Green Jackets Headquarters and the Royal Green Jackets (Rifles) Museum, the Gymnasium, the Main Entrance Gate Piers, the Gates and Flanking Railings and Piers, the Royal Hussars Museum (former Militia Stores), the East Block, the Guardroom, the Chapel and Schoolroom, the Mons Block, the North Block, the Weapons Training Shed and the West Block. The barracks became the depot of the King's Royal Rifle Corps and the Rifle Brigade in 1858. The barracks went on to become the regional centre for infantry training as the Green Jackets Brigade Depot in 1960. The name of the barracks was changed from Upper Barracks, Winchester to Peninsula Barracks in 1964. The 1st Green Jackets (43rd and 52nd) returned to the barracks on 21 April 1964, from Bushfield Camp, near Winchester, where they had moved in 1961. On 22 May 1964, General Sir Gerald Lathbury, Colonel Commandant of the 1st Green Jackets (43rd and 52nd) and also Quartermaster-General to the Forces, whose responsibilities included all Army buildings, took the first passing-out parade in the rebuilt barracks. Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester, Colonel-in-Chief, 3rd Green Jackets, The Rifle Brigade, officially opened the new barracks on 28 May 1965. The barracks closed in 1985 and military training was moved to Sir John Moore Barracks. In 1994 the Ministry of Defence sold most of the barracks for private flats, retaining some space for Winchester's Military Museums, a complex of museums that are grouped but operated separately. The barracks also house the Regimental Headquarters of The Rifles, and the Regimental Headquarters (South) of the King's Royal Hussars. References

Казарми півострова

Казарми півострова (англ. Peninsula Barracks) — це група військових будівель у Вінчестері, Гемпшир. Історія Казарми, які спочатку були відомі як Верхні казарми, Вінчестер, були побудовані на початку 20-го століття на місці Королівського будинку, недобудованого палацу, спроєктованого сером Крістофером Реном для Карла II, який використовувався як казарми з 1794 року до того, як був знищений пожежею в 1894 році. Деякі частини казарм залишаються будівлями, що охороняються як пам'ятки II ступеня, включаючи штаб-квартиру Зелених мундирів і Музей Королівських зелених мундирів (стрільців), Гімназію, Головні в'їзні ворота, Ворота та флангові огорожі та стовпи, Музей Королівських гусарів (колишні склади міліції), Східний блок, Вартову кімнату, Каплицю та Школу, Блок Монса, Північний блок, Сарай для навчання зброї та Західний блок. Казарми стали складом Королівського корпусу стрільців короля та Стрілецької бригади у 1858 році. Згодом казарми стали регіональним центром підготовки піхоти як склад Бригада зелених мундирів у 1960 році. Назва казарм була змінена з Верхніх казарм, Вінчестер, на Казарми півострова в 1964 році. 1-й полк зелених мундирів (43-й і 52-й) повернувся до казарм 21 квітня 1964 року з табору Бушфілд, поблизу Вінчестера, куди вони переїхали в 1961 році. 22 травня 1964 року генерал сер Джеральд Летбері, полковник-комендант 1-го полку зелених мундирів (43-й і 52-й), а також генерал-квартирмейстер військ, до обов'язків якого входили всі армійські будівлі, провів перший випускний парад у відбудованих казармах. Принц Річард, герцог Глостерський, головний полковник 3-го полку зелених мундирів, офіційно відкрив нові казарми 28 травня 1965 року. Казарми були закриті в 1985 році, а військова підготовка була перенесена до казарм сера Джона Мура. У 1994 році Міністерство оборони продало більшу частину казарм під приватні квартири, залишивши частину простору для Військові музеї Вінчестера, комплексу музеїв, які згруповані, але працюють окремо. У казармах також розміщується штаб-квартира полку стрільців, і штаб-квартира полку (Південь) Королівських гусарів[уточнити]. Список літератури

Penistone Paramount Cinema

The Penistone Paramount Cinema is a community cinema and theatre in Shrewsbury Road in Penistone, near Barnsley, in the heart of the South Yorkshire Pennines. Besides the film releases, there are also live shows and monthly organ concerts. History The building was commissioned as an assembly hall for the town and formed part of a larger complex including council offices and a library. It was designed by Henry R. Collins in the Art Deco style, built in brick and stone and was opened by the mayor of Huddersfield, Joseph Blamires, on 31 October 1914. The design involved a rusticated main frontage facing onto Shrewsbury Road. It featured a doorcase with an architrave and a keystone. There was a row of seven windows on the first floor and an open pediment above. It became the Town Hall Picture House showing silent films on 20 November 1915. It proved successful, and with a balcony added in the 1920s, could seat 900 people. A stage and bar were added in the 1960s. In 1986, it was renamed as the Metro Cinema. The Compton Organ was built by the John Compton Organ Company in London, for the Paramount Theatre in Birmingham, in 1937. The organ was removed from there, when the cinema was refurbished and made into a multiplex, in 1988. It was then transferred to the Regal in Oswestry, where it stayed until the cinema closed in 1994. It then went into storage for six years. In 2000 The Penistone Cinema Organ Trust purchased the organ, and all of the 1,000 pipes were cleaned out as part of the organ restoration. The trust then entered into an agreement with the council for the organ to be based in the cinema. The cinema was then renamed as the Paramount in honour of the new organ. The building itself remains the property of Barnsley Metropolitan District Council, and is leased out to Penistone Town Council to keep it open as a cinema. The cinema was featured on the BBC Politics Show in January 2007 as an example of how a small provincial community cinema can survive. It was used as the cinema setting for episode 2 of the television series, Brief Encounters, in 2016, and it was refurbished at a cost of £100,000 in summer 2020.

Penjerrick Garden

Penjerrick Garden -- often referred to as "Cornwall's true jungle garden"—lies between Budock Water and Mawnan Smith, near Falmouth, United Kingdom. Established in the early 19th century by Robert Were Fox F.R.S. and his children, Anna Maria, Barclay and Caroline (R. W. Fox's brother, Charles was responsible for the Garden at Trebah and his brother, Alfred, for the garden at Glendurgan), the 15-acre (61,000 m2), sub-tropical, spring-flowering garden has views of Budock Water and a considerable historical and botanical interest. The founders planted the upper garden with specimens from abroad including rhododendrons, camellias, magnolias, azaleas, tree ferns and bamboos. The garden is also home to the Penjerrick and Barclayi hybrid rhododendrons. The skeleton of a brain coral brought to Penjerrick by Captain FitzRoy of the Beagle (that was Charles Darwin's expedition ship) can be found in the garden. The lower part of Penjerrick is a dense valley garden reached by a wooden bridge. In this wild, jungle-like setting are four ponds and countless tree ferns that date back almost to the original planting of the garden. The tranquil garden (now owned by Rachel Morin) is at its best in April and May.

Penkridge Viaduct

Penkridge Viaduct is a railway bridge north of the village of Penkridge, in Staffordshire, England (mid-way between Wolverhampton and Stafford). It carries the West Coast Main Line over the River Penk. It is a Grade II listed building. History The bridge was built in 1837 for the Grand Junction Railway, which connected Birmingham to the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. The line was surveyed by Robert Stephenson, who designed the viaduct. The engineer for the southern half of the GJR was Joseph Locke and the contractor was Thomas Brassey. It was Brassey's first successful bid for a contract; he went on to be one of the world's leading railway builders. The cost of the viaduct was £6,000 (£420,000 as of 2015). The viaduct's official opening was on 4 July 1837. The viaduct remains in use as part of the West Coast Main Line. Description The viaduct and an adjoining embankment were needed to cross the River Penk and its valley. It consists of seven segmental arches, each of 30 feet (9.1 metres) span. It reaches a maximum height of 37 feet (11 metres) and is 80 yards (73 metres) long. It is built in a combination of red brick and Staffordshire blue brick with stepped voussoirs in sandstone ashlar. It has a substantial cornice, rusticated ashlar abutments, and splayed piers. A brick parapet rises from a stone string course. The river flows under the third arch from the south (Wolverhampton) end; the northernmost arch spans a minor road. The viaduct is a Grade II listed building, a status which provides it with legal protection. It is very similar to Pinfold Lane Bridge, a smaller bridge over the railway immediately to the south The railway historian Gordon Biddle described it as "a modest viaduct [but] for all its lack of splendour it is quite handsome".

Pennine Way Stadium

The Pennine Way Stadium is a multi-use sports facility in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, and home of Hemel Stags rugby league club. History Hemel Stags were formed in 1981. Since then they have been based at the Pennine Way Stadium. Hemel Stags played their first match at Pennine Way on 3 April 1981 against Walthamstow-based McEntee, losing 38–0. A 21-year Dacorum Borough Council lease was granted to Stags in 1985. In February 1985, Hemel Stags opened their first social club at Pennine Way. It incorporated a bar and a social/recreational area. The clubhouse doubled in size in 1987. Growing confidence in the club in the early 1990s saw the opening of a completely new social club with the old clubhouse being converted into changing rooms. Ground difficulties meant that Hemel had to leave the Alliance league and drop down to the Rugby League Conference in 1999. In September 2008, the club obtained planning permission for a small stadium at Pennine Way and in 2010 the first stage was completed with the enclosure of the ground and the opening of an all-weather training pitch and the floodlighting of the main pitch. In preparation for Hemel's admittance to the semi-professional Championship 1, a 406-seat stand was built at the end of the 2012 season. External links Hemel Stags website
Pennington Flash Country Park

Pennington Flash Country Park is a 200-hectare (490-acre) country park located between Lowton and Leigh in Greater Manchester, England. History A flash is a water-filled hollow formed by subsidence. Pennington Flash is a 70-hectare (170-acre) lake created at the beginning of the 20th century by coal mining subsidence, mainly from Bickershaw Colliery. Before the flash the area contained two farms, both of which were abandoned in the early 1900s due to flooding. During the 1960s and 1970s the idea to convert the flash for recreation was emerging and the country park was opened in 1981. Nature Pennington Flash Country Park is a nature reserve. Over 230 bird species have been recorded on site including black-faced bunting, nightingale, marsh harrier, spoonbill and Leach's storm-petrel. Additionally, a wide variety of butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies can be spotted in the area. Facilities Facilities include a small information centre, Pennington Flash café, a nine-hole municipal golf course, a car park with electric vehicle charging points, a children's play area, toilets, picnic and recreation areas, eight bird hides, fishing on certain shores, sailing, windsurfing and rowing through Leigh and Lowton Sailing Club. There is a network of tracks and footpaths suitable for walkers, cyclists, horse riders, joggers and wheelchair users. A Parkrun takes place every Saturday morning. A course here would have been the venue for rowing and canoeing if the Manchester bid for the 2000 Summer Olympics had been successful. References External links Leigh Ornithological Society
