Leeds Beckett University

Leeds Beckett University (LBU) — publiczny uniwersytet w Leeds w hrabstwie West Yorkshire w Wielkiej Brytanii. Historia Zalążkiem Leeds Beckett University był utworzony w 1824 roku Leeds Mechanic Institute, przemianowany później na Leeds Institute of Science, Art and Literature, i dalej na Leeds College of Technology. W roku 1846 założono Leeds College of Art, w 1845 Leeds College of Commerce i w końcu w roku 1874 powstał Yorkshire Training School of Cookery (w 1960 przemianowana na Yorkshire College of Education and Home Economics) – te jednostki skonsolidowały się na początku lat 50. XX wieku. Lokalne władze łącząc te cztery uczelnie w jednym miejscu utworzyły City Campus. W 1970 powołano Leeds Polytechnic będące pod zarządem Local Education Authority. W 1976 powiększono ją o James Graham College i City of Leeds and Carnegie College. Politechnika była częścią Leeds LA do 1 kwietnia 1989 roku, kiedy ta przemianowała się na Higher Education Corporation. W 1992 roku uczelnia otrzymując status uniwersytecki i nazwę Leeds Metropolitan University, nabyła prawa do nadawania stopni naukowych. We wrześniu 2014 uczelnia zmieniła nazwę na Leeds Beckett University.

Universidade Leeds Beckett

A Universidade Leeds Beckett, anteriormente conhecida como Universidade Metropolitana de Leeds e Politécnica de Leeds, é uma universidade pública britânica, com dois campus em Leeds, West Yorkshire, Inglaterra. Ela ganhou o status de universidade em 1992; antes desta data era conhecida como Leeds Polytechnic. O número de alunos é listado pelos dados da HESA 2007/08 como o maior da Grã-Bretanha, excluindo a The Open University, em 41.215 alunos. História A universidade tem origem em 1824 quando o Instituto de Mecânica de Leeds foi fundado. O instituto mais tarde passou a se chamar Instituto de Ciência, Arte e Literatura de Leeds e em 1927 mudou de nome para Colégio de Tecnologia de Leeds. Em 1970, o colégio se uniu com o Colégio de Comércio de Leeds (fundado em 1845), parte do Colégio de Arte de Leeds (fundado em 1846) e o Colégio de Educação e Economia Doméstica de Yorkshire (fundado em 1874), formando a Politécnica de Leeds. Em 1976, o Colégio de James Graham e o Colégio de Educação da Cidade de Leeds (fundado em 1907 como parte do Colégio de Treinamento da Cidade de Leeds) se uniram a Politécnica de Leeds. Em 1987, a Politécnica de Leeds se tornou um dos membros fundadores do Northern Consortium. Após o Further and Higher Education Act passar a valer em 1992, a Politécnica de Leeds se tornou Universidade Metropolitana de Leeds, com o direito de conceder graus acadêmicos. Em 1998, a universidade se uniu ao Colégio de Harrogate, estabelecendo o campus de Harrogate até 2008, quando o colégio se uniu ao Colégio de Hull. Em 2008, a universidade criou uma petição para mudar de nome para "Universidade de Leeds Carnegie"; entretanto, eventualmente desistiram da mudança. Em 2009, uma parceria com a Universidade da Flórida do Norte foi criada para iniciar um programa de intercâmbio de estudantes. A universidade também tem um acordo com o Colégio de Bradford para validar graus acadêmicos para o colégio. O nome atual foi adotado em setembro de 2014.

Furnival Gardens

Furnivall Gardens (also spelt Furnival Gardens) is a park in Hammersmith alongside the river Thames. It was once the location of the mouth of Hammersmith Creek, which had an active fishing trade until about 200 years ago. The creek was filled in during 1936. In 1948, it was decided that there should be a public open space on bomb-damaged land between the river and the Great West Road, to coincide with the 1951 Festival of Britain. The new riverside park was named after the scholar Dr Frederick James Furnivall, who founded what is now the Furnivall Sculling Club in 1896. A garden area was created on what had been the Hammersmith Friends Meeting House burial ground, destroyed by a flying bomb in the war. In 1963, a street lamp that had formerly been in West Berlin was given by Willy Brandt, then Mayor of West Berlin, to mark Hammersmith's twinning with the Berlin (previously West Berlin) district of Neukölln. It now stands on the wall of Westcott Lodge, facing the gardens. Below it is a plaque which reads: "The lamp above this plaque was formerly used to light a street in West Berlin. It was presented by Herr Willi Brandt, Mayor of West Berlin to Councillor Stanley Atkins, L. P., The Worshipful the Mayor of Hammersmith, as a token of friendship between the two communities on the occasion of the Jumelage held in this Borough, 1st June 1963." References

The Olde Wine Shades

The Olde Wine Shades is one of London's oldest public houses, having been built in 1663 in Martin Lane there is an oft quoted claim that it somehow survived the Great Fire of 1666. Its origins were as a Merchants house, which had a tunnel river entrance like many larger riverside properties in London at the time. The tunnel was sealed after bomb damage during the Blitz in 1940, but its entrance is still visible today. The architectural and historic significance of the Olde Wine Shades is recognised in its status as a grade II listed building. El Vino was purchased by Davy's Wine Merchants in 2015 and it had a major refurbishment in the summer of 2017, restoring many original features and allowing the cellar bar area to be opened to the public once again. Martha Grimes named one of her Richard Jury novels after the pub. See also List of buildings that survived the Great Fire of London References External links The Olde Wine Shades – official web site
El Vino

El Vino, also known as El Vino's, is a wine bar and off-licence in London's Fleet Street that was famously patronised by journalists when many national newspapers were based nearby. It is still patronised by lawyers as the surrounding area is still London's legal district. The business was founded by the wine merchant Alfred Bower in Mark Lane as Bower and Co. in 1879. That was on the east side of the City of London and, as the business prospered by selling imported Burgundy, claret, and sherry, he opened four more wine bars, including the famous branch in Fleet Street. In 1923, the business had to change its name, so that Bower could become an alderman, and so it was renamed El Vino – the Spanish name for wine. Bower then became Lord Mayor and the business continued in his family until 2015, when it was sold to the Davy chain of wine bars. Law While journalists are not so common in Fleet Street now, the bar is still popular with the barristers and solicitors who work in the surrounding courts and legal offices. The bar inspired the fictional Pomeroy's in Rumpole of the Bailey and El Vino now has a Rumpole Room to commemorate this. For much of its history, the bar required male customers to wear ties, and although women customers were permitted, they were not allowed to approach the bar to be served and drink. In 1982 in the case Gill and Coote v El Vino Co Ltd, Tess Gill and Anna Coote successfully challenged El Vino’s ban on women being served at the bar and drinking there rather than having their drinks brought to them at a table; the ban was held to be a violation of the Sex Discrimination Act 1975. Regulars Regular characters and patrons included: Alan Watkins, political commentator Geoffrey Van-Hay, the imposing manager for many years, who kept order with charm and wit Ian Fleming who worked in a nearby stockbrokers and subsequently wrote in Mitre Court Nigel Dempster, gossip columnist for the Daily Mail Peregrine Worsthorne, columnist for the Daily Telegraph Paul Johnson, political commentator G. K. Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc both were regular patrons during the early years of their collaboration See also Alfred Wintle Lunchtime O'Booze – the fictional stereotype of a bibulous journalist used as a regular byline in Private Eye References External links El Vino Fleet Street – now one of Davy's wine bars

Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory

Das Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory (MRAO) ist eine Anlage von Radioteleskopen in der Nähe von Cambridge. Es wurde 1957 vom Pionier der Radioastronomie Martin Ryle vom Cavendish Laboratory und der Cavendish Astrophysics Group gegründet. Die Forschung zur Radioastronomie begann in Cambridge schon in den 1940er Jahren und nutzte Techniken der Radarentwicklung während des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Ein wesentlicher Teil der Finanzierung (100.000 Pfund) kam – neben dem Science Research Council – von der Firma Mullard, die viele Elektronenröhren für Großbritannien im Zweiten Weltkrieg produzierten. Hier wurde am Interplanetary Scintillation Array 1967 durch Jocelyn Bell und Antony Hewish, einem Schüler von Ryle, der erste Pulsar (Neutronenstern) entdeckt. Hier befinden sich eine Reihe großer Radioteleskope (das One Mile Telescope, das Ryle Telescope und der Arcminute Microkelvin Imager, siehe unten) und Arrays von Teleskopen mit Interferometrie. Ein weiteres Zentrum der Radioastronomie in Großbritannien ist Jodrell Bank bei Manchester. Die Anlage ist bei der Lord’s Bridge Eisenbahnstation, die an einer ehemaligen Eisenbahnstrecke von Cambridge nach Oxford lag und Ende 1967 geschlossen wurde. In der Station wenige Kilometer westlich von Cambridge ist heute das Vorlesungs- und Besucherzentrum der Anlage. Sie liegt wenige Kilometer westlich Cambridge. Die fast genau östlich-westlich verlaufende alte Eisenbahnlinie wurde auch für einige Teleskope genutzt (Ryle Telescope, Cambridge Low Frequency Synthesis Telescope).

Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory

The Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory (MRAO) is located near Cambridge, UK and is home to a number of the largest and most advanced aperture synthesis radio telescopes in the world, including the One-Mile Telescope, 5-km Ryle Telescope, and the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager. It was founded by the University of Cambridge and is part of the Cambridge University, Cavendish Laboratories, Astrophysics Department. History Radio interferometry started in the mid-1940s on the outskirts of Cambridge, but with funding from the Science Research Council and a corporate donation of £100,000 from Mullard Limited, a leading commercial manufacturer of thermionic valves. Construction of the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory commenced at Lords Bridge Air Ammunition Park, a few kilometres to the west of Cambridge. The observatory was founded under Martin Ryle of the Radio-Astronomy Group of the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge and was opened by Sir Edward Victor Appleton on 25 July 1957. This group is now known as the Cavendish Astrophysics Group. Location The observatory is located a few miles south-west of Cambridge at Harlton on a former ordnance storage site, next to the disused Oxford-Cambridge Varsity railway line. A portion of the track bed of the railway, running nearly east-west for several miles, was used to form the main part of the "5km" radio-telescope and the Cambridge Low Frequency Synthesis Telescope. Due to this, the reconstruction of the railway line between Oxford and Cambridge will follow a new alignment at this point.

Temple Mills Depot

Das Temple Mills Depot (auch Eurostar Engineering Centre Temple Mills genannt) ist ein Bahnbetriebswerk für die Züge von Eurostar International. Es ersetzt seit November 2007 das bisherige Bahnbetriebswerk North Pole Depot. Der Name der Gegend stammt angeblich von Wassermühlen, die Tempelritter gehörten. Das Bahnbetriebswerk ist nördlich des neuen Bahnhofs Stratford International am Ostrand des früheren Rangierbahnhofs Temple Mills gelegen und wird von diesem über ein eingleisiges Überwerfungsbauwerk Richtung Osten erreicht. Ein Tunnel unter der Lea Valley Line geht in ein separates Gleis über, das östlich entlang dieser Strecke bis zu dem Depot führt, so dass keine Schieneninfrastruktur von Network Rail benutzt werden muss. Bei der Planung des Depots in den 2000er Jahren wurde die Möglichkeit berücksichtigt, hier auch ICEs warten zu können. Unmittelbar nördlich von der Halle befindet sich eine kleine Halle, die von der English, Welsh & Scottish Railway (EWS) als Wartungshalle für Lokomotiven benutzt wurde. Einzelnachweise
Temple Mills Depot

Temple Mills Depot, also known as Temple Mills International (TMI) and the Eurostar Engineering Centre, is a railway depot in Leyton in East London. History Construction of a new depot for Eurostar operations, to replace North Pole Depot, was approved by the UK Government on 15 November 2004. North Pole had served as the maintenance depot for the Eurostar's fleet of Class 373s since opening in 1994, but was inaccessible to the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (High Speed 1), over which all Eurostar services would run from November 2007. Capacity allocation (2025) The Temple Mills Depot is crucial for operation (housing and maintenance of the trains) on High Speed 1, as it is the only British railway depot accessible to (high speed) trains with the larger continental European loading gauge. There are a number of potential competitors for high speed trains between London and the European continent (Paris and Brussels): Virgin Group, Gemini Trains (with Uber) and a partnership between FS and Evolyn, but the biggest problem for competitors is to secure space to house and maintain high-speed trains. Eurostar says the Temple Mills depot is full and can only accommodate its own growth plans, with a £70m investment. Virgin and Evolyn remarked in November 2024 at an industry event in the Houses of Parliament, that Eurostar had not agreed access to Temple Mills depot. The companies later appealed to the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) to assess the available capacity. This led to a report being published in March 2025, commissioned by ORR, confirming some capacity at Temple Mills depot could be made available. The ORR invited applicants to submit proposals before a ruling. On 30 October 2025, ORR announced they had approved Virgin Trains to begin Channel Tunnel operations, sharing Temple Mills Depot with Eurostar within the next five years.
