Greyhound Bridge

The Greyhound Bridge is a road-connection spanning the River Lune as it runs through Lancaster, England. It serves as the primary route northwards, on account of a one-way system that directs all southbound traffic over Skerton Bridge. Originally built to carry a railway, it is the third bridge to stand on the present site and lies between the Lune Millennium Bridge and Skerton Bridge. History The first bridge on the site was constructed out of laminated timber in 1848 to carry the Morecambe Harbour and Railway Company's new railway, linking the adjoining Lancaster Green Ayre railway station to Morecambe Harbour. That was replaced by a wrought iron viaduct during 1862–64, and by the third and current bridge in 1911. Material salvaged from the demolition of the second bridge was used in the 1913 reconstruction of what is now the "Halton Narrow Toll Bridge", further up the River Lune, on the same railway line. After the closure of the railway in 1966, the Greyhound Bridge was converted for use by road traffic and re-opened in 1972. Significance The structure is notable for its westward curve, onto the northern bank of the River Lune; a feature that has been prominent on the landscape, since at least the wrought-iron second incarnation of the bridge, completed in 1864. With overhead electrification of the Lancaster–Morecambe Line in 1908, it is very possible that the Greyhound Bridge may have been the first bridge in the United Kingdom to carry electrified rolling stock, owing to it being the only bridge on that section of line. Closure Lancashire County Council have stated that the bridge requires substantial maintenance in order to avoid a weight limit being placed on it. These works are anticipated to cost £3.7 million and are expected to result in the bridge being closed for 23 weeks between January and August 2018. During this time the nearby Skerton Bridge will be adapted to carry vehicles in two directions. These changes have been criticised by local bus users who feel that the removal of two sections of bus priority lanes will increase journey times across the river. However, without these works, buses would not have been able to use the Greyhound bridge from 2019 due to the proposed weight restriction. References
Hampstead Heath Woods

Hampstead Heath Woods is a 16.6-hectare (41-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Hampstead in the London Borough of Camden. It is in two separate areas within Hampstead Heath, North Wood between Kenwood House and Hampstead Lane, and the larger Ken Wood, south of Kenwood House. It was designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1975. It is the only Site of Special Scientific Interest in Camden and is managed by English Heritage. The site has many old and over-mature trees, and extensive dead wood which provides a habitat for fungi, nesting birds and invertebrates, including the nationally rare jewel beetle Agrilus pannonicus. This type of canopy is uncommon nationally and very scarce in Greater London. The main trees are sessile oak and beech, with a few pedunculate oaks and wild service trees. The shrub layer is dominated by holly and rowan. Many bat species have been found in the area, with the ancient hollow trees on the site thought to support these populations. Next to Ken Wood is a small valley which has soft-rush, six sphagnum species and water horsetail. Sphagnum is rare in London, with bog mosses in this protected area including sphagnum fimbriatum, sphagnum palustre and sphagnum squarrosum.

St James' Church, Mere Green

St James’ Church is a Grade II listed Church of England parish church in Mere Green, Sutton Coldfield, England. History It was founded as a daughter church of Holy Trinity Church, Sutton Coldfield. It was built to the designs of the architect Daniel Rollinson Hill and consecrated on 14 December 1835. An unfortunate incident happened on Good Friday in 1850 when the congregation were overcome by fumes from the stoves used for warming the church. The church became a parish in its own right in 1853 when land was assigned from Holy Trinity Church, Sutton Coldfield. Part of the parish was taken to form a new parish of All Saints' Church, Four Oaks in 1890. In 1908 the chancel had been replaced with a new one by the architect Charles Edward Bateman, who also provided transepts, an organ loft and new vestries. The intention was to rebuild the rest of the church to match, but the scheme was never brought to conclusion. Organ The church contained an organ by Forster and Andrews. The opening recital was given on 7 June 1853. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. References

Joyland (Great Yarmouth)

Joyland is a historic free entry amusement park located in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, on the coast of East Anglia. The theme park opened in 1949 on the site of the former Anchor Gardens next to Britannia Pier. The park is famous locally and across the country for the Snails and Tyrolean Tubs rides designed and manufactured by engineering entrepreneur Horace Cole and the family-owned engineering business. The Tyrolean Tubs is notable as the only Virginia Reel roller coaster (albeit in miniature form) in operation in the world. History Joyland is renowned for its heritage rides, which have remained unchanged through generations of patrons, allowing parents to share the rides remembered from their childhood with their children. The biggest change to the park occurred in 1984 when the main centerpiece of the park (a 1950s Noah's Ark ride) was removed and replaced with a space shuttle attraction called the "Space Base" and then again in 1996 when the centrepiece was demolished and replaced by a spooky themed roller coaster twisting around the peak of the mountain while various fiberglass toy figurines adorn the side of the large green mountain. Current rides and attractions As of April 2015, Joyland hosts the following rides: Snails (1949) A unique snail ride designed by Horace Cole travelling through the park with various scenic elements such as garden gnomes, Frogs, A pond and much more. Tyrolean Tubs (1949) Designed by Horace Cole. Circular "Tubs" wind their way through mountainous scenery spinning and changing direction unexpectedly throughout the duration of the ride before returning to the station. Jet Cars (1974) Designed by Horace Cole. Six jet cars travel on a circular track through the inside of the mountain. Neptune's Kingdom (1974) Designed by Horace Cole. Relocated from the Cole family's other park Never Never Land in Gorleston-on-Sea in 1973. A themed ride whereby the rider travels through the inside of the "Mountain" in a seahorse car through sea and water related scenery. Pirate Ship (1986) Built by Modern Products.

Kepier School

Kepier School is a coeducational secondary school in Houghton-le-Spring, Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England. As of 2025, it has 1147 pupils, and is larger than the average secondary school. History The school was established in 1987 as a result of a merger of three local comprehensive schools: Bernard Gilpin School, Houghton School and Sancroft School. It was originally called Houghton Kepier School. It is not connected to the nearby small fee-paying grammar school, founded in the 1570s and closed in 1922, the Royal Kepier Grammar School, but was named after it. The school was commended by the Department for Education in 2003 for using staff who were not qualified teachers as temporary "cover supervisors" in an attempt to manage teachers' workload; the initiative was criticised by the National Union of Teachers. The then headteacher, Sue Hyland, was the national secondary school Leadership Trust Award winner in 2002. The school had been failing when she came to it in 1999; "Results had been going down for seven years". By 2002, The Guardian described the school as "recognisably on the up", but struggling with a lack of money, particularly for staffing. In 2001, one of the staff, Eileen Osborne, published textbooks on religion and citizenship which were used in other schools. Uniform controversy In early September 2017, it was reported that students were forced to line up in the rain while the principal compared the students' trousers with a swatch of fabric supplied by Total Sport, to ensure the grey trousers were from this supplier. These cost £15.99, while similar products were available for £7.00 elsewhere. Students not wearing the "required" trousers were sent home. Inspections The school has been inspected by Ofsted five times since 2012. In 2012, the inspectors deemed it "satisfactory". Both inspections in 2013 saw the school judged as "requires improvement", with the inspectors commenting that "leaders and managers do not always focus their actions where they are most needed and do not check the impact on students' achievement." In 2016, the school had improved sufficiently to be rated as "good", because of "... vastly raised teachers' expectations of how quickly pupils can make progress in all of the subjects they study."
