Ecclesall Woods

Ecclesall Woods is an area of woodland in south-west Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, between Abbeydale Road South and Ecclesall. It covers approximately 350 acres (1.4 km2) of mature semi-natural deciduous woodland which was previously used for timber and charcoal, and is currently managed by the city council for the benefit of wildlife and visitor access. There are two roads and over 10 miles (16 km) of public footpaths running through the woods. The Abbeydale miniature railway is also located within the woods. They are a Local Nature Reserve. Notable features There are two mills sited within the woods and several other items of archaeological interest. Ryecroft Mill Ryecroft Mill was a water-powered lead smelting mill on the Limb Brook. The mill dates from at least as far back as the 17th century and was used for lead smelting, and later grinding corn. Ecclesall Woods Sawmill There is a modern sawmill within the woods, which was built after extensive storm damage to trees in 1962. It is operated by a private company, but there are plans to use it as both a working sawmill and an information centre. Ryecroft Bridge The stone bridge over the Ryecroft Brook is a Grade II listed building. Q pits There are a hundred charcoal hearths and two hundred Q pits, believed to have been used for manufacture of white coal. Prehistoric carved stone A cup and ring-marked stone was discovered in 1981, and has been dated to the late Neolithic or Bronze Age periods. It, and the 6 feet (1.8 m) diameter around it, is a scheduled ancient monument. Charcoal burner's grave There is a grave stone dating from 1786, commemorating the death of George Yardley killed in an accidental fire in his woodland home, after an evening in the local hostelry on Abbey Lane. There is also an information plaque about the incident on the wall of the Public House, which is still trading. The grave is a grade II listed structure. Abbeydale miniature railway The miniature railway is run by the Sheffield & District Society of Model & Experimental Engineers Ltd. It has two sections: a dual gauge ground level section with gauges of 7+1⁄4 inches (180 mm) and 5 inches (130 mm). There is also a smaller multigauge raised section that has gauges of 3+1⁄2 inches (89 mm), 5 inches (130 mm) and 7+1⁄4 inches (180 mm). The society owns a diesel locomotive named 'Edward' on the ground level. There are also two electric locomotives named 'Merlin' and 'Vulcan' also owned by the society for use on the raised track. The society also runs a garden railway that operates trains on 32 mm (1.26 in) and 45 mm (1.772 in) gauge track this is known as the 'Ecclesall Woods Light Railway'.

Eccup Reservoir

Eccup Reservoir is a reservoir in Alwoodley, a suburb of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, near the village of Eccup. It was first constructed in 1843, and expanded to its present size in 1897. The open water area is 91 hectares (220 acres), making it the largest area of water in West Yorkshire. It receives water from several smaller reservoirs and from the River Ouse. The reservoir is owned by Yorkshire Water. The reservoir and the surrounding woodlands are both Sites of Special Scientific Interest. The western end of the reservoir is the most vegetated. Fringing vegetation includes shore-weed (Littorella uniflora) and amphibious bistort (Persicaria amphibia), and such sedges as bottle sedge (Carex rostrata) and bladder sedge (Carex vesicaria), as well as taller stands of bulrush (Typha latifolia) and common spike-rush (Eleocharis palustris). Bladder sedge is rare in the county, only having been recorded at two other sites. The reservoir is now home to a growing population of red kites. The reservoir is visited by large numbers of migrating and overwintering wading birds and waterfowl. The most significant of these is the goosander, with up to 2% of the British population overwintering here. Others include wigeon, teal, pochard, shelduck, shoveler, ruddy duck, goldeneye, greylag goose, dunlin and green sandpiper, while mallard and tufted duck are present all year round, as are curlew, redshank and common sandpiper. There are 25 geocaches around Eccup Reservoir, making it a popular place with walkers. A circular walk of about 5 mi (8 km) around the reservoir is possible.

Eckington School

Eckington School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form located in Eckington, Derbyshire in England, next to the B6056 road. It has around 1,250 pupils. The school is an academy, and is part of the Chorus Education Trust. History Previous to the opening of the school, there was the Eckington County Secondary School, which opened in Halfway (in Derbyshire before 1967) in 1930, and became the Eckington Grammar School in 1945. In Eckington was also the Eckington Secondary Modern School on School Street; when the grammar school became Derbyshire's first comprehensive school - the Westfield School - in 1957, this became Eckington Junior School. The current site started construction in 1978 and opened to students a few years later in 1983. Admissions The school catchment area includes surrounding areas such as Killamarsh, Renishaw, Beighton, Ridgeway and Mosborough. Despite the school being closer to several Sheffield residential areas (including Beighton and Mosborough) than other Derbyshire ones, the admissions policy is set in such a way to favour pupils coming from the Derbyshire feeder schools in areas such as Killamarsh, Ridgeway and Renishaw. This is because most students from the Mosborough and Beighton area attend Westfield School. Academic performance Eckington Comprehensive was designated a specialist engineering college. This title was removed from the school. In June 2022, the school was given an "Inadequate" rating by Ofsted. Notable former pupils Chris Pritchard 1999, Represented Scotland at 2010 Commonwealth Games Track Cycling Millie Bright, footballer Ruth Amos, entrepreneur and inventor Adam Duffy, professional snooker player Members of While She Sleeps Mat Welsh, Sean Long, Aaran McKenzie and Adam Savage.

Cementerio de Highgate

El cementerio de Highgate es un cementerio histórico ubicado en el distrito de Highgate, al norte de Londres, Inglaterra. Es considerado parte del patrimonio cultural inglés y en el registro de parques y jardines de especial interés histórico en Inglaterra consta con el Grado I. Historia El cementerio fue inaugurado el 20 de mayo de 1839, con el diseño del arquitecto y empresario Stephen Geary, como parte de un plan para dotar a Londres de una serie de siete camposantos privados, los denominados los Siete Magníficos, para que sirvieran de alternativa a los tradicionales cementerios adscritos a las iglesias que no daban abasto para atender decorosamente la creciente demanda.​ Después de su inauguración se convirtió en el cementerio de moda y en 1854 fue ampliado, agregándosele la zona situada al este de la zona original, que forma la parte oriental del cementerio en su situación actual, separada de la original por una vía (Swains Lane), pero conectadas ambas por medio de un túnel.​ En el siglo XX y sobre todo después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el cementerio entró en decadencia; las capillas de estilo Tudor se cerraron en 1956 y en 1975 el lugar estaba en ruinas, situación que motivó la fundación de la Sociedad de amigos del cementerio de Highgate, que desde 1981 lo administra y se ocupa de su mantenimiento. En 1987 el cementerio de Highgate se incluyó por primera vez en el Registro del Patrimonio Inglés de Parques y Jardines de Especial Interés Histórico, y en 2009 se actualizó ese registro elevándolo a la categoría 1.​ Interés cultural y turístico El cementerio se caracteriza en aproximadamente 15 hectáreas por su floresta o zona boscosa, con abundante fauna salvaje, que contrasta con los senderos, avenidas y catacumbas o bóvedas mortuorias, así como con los numerosos mausoleos y tumbas que en su mayoría son un ejemplo del estilo neogótico victoriano con una influencia egipcia, que refleja la moda en boga de la época motivada por las excavaciones y notables hallazgos arqueológicos realizados en Egipto entonces. El conjunto atrae a numerosos turistas, sobre todo la parte occidental y más antigua, también porque muchos mausoleos albergan los restos de personajes famosos como Herbert Spencer ,​ Karl Marx, Eric Hobsbawm, George Michael, Lucian Freud, George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans), Michael Faraday, Alexander Litvinenko, los padres y hermanos de Charles Dickens, así como otros numerosos artistas y políticos notorios de la época victoriana.​ A mediados de la década de 1960, el cementerio fue escenario de una leyenda urbana según la cual el lugar era rondado por un vampiro, lo que motivó la visita de curiosos y vándalos, presuntos cazadores de vampiros y ocultistas.​ Referencias Enlaces externos Wikimedia Commons alberga una categoría multimedia sobre Cementerio de Highgate.

Highgate temető

A Highgate temető (Highgate Cemetery) London egyik sírkertje, amelyet a 19. században hoztak létre. Tervezője Stephen Geary volt. Története Az 1800-as évek elejére London belvárosi temetői megteltek, ezért a városvezetés úgy döntött, hét új sírkertet (Kensal Green, Highgate, West Norwood, Abney Park, Nunhead, Brompton és Tower Hamlets) nyitnak. A Highgate temetőt 1839. május 20-án szentelte fel a város püspöke, majd hat nap múlva megtartották az első temetést: a 36 éves Elizabeth Jackson földi maradványait hantolták el. A temető hamar divatos temetkezési hellyé vált. A viktoriánus kori Angliát áthatotta a romantika, amely egyiptomi és gótikus stílusú sírokat eredményezett a Highgate-ben. 1854-ben az eddigi (nyugati) területhez újabbat (keleti) kapcsoltak a Swains Lane túloldalán. A temetőben a brit elit számos tagját helyezték végső nyugalomra, legalább 850 közismert ember – köztük a Királyi Művészeti Akadémia 18 tagja, London hat főpolgármestere és a Royal Society 48 tudósa – alussza örök álmát a sírkertben. Ebben a temetőben található a sírja mások mellett Karl Marxnak, Michael Faradaynek, Douglas Adamsnek, George Michaelnek és George Eliotnak. A sírkertben hantolták el Adam Worth-t, a bűnözőt, aki valószínűleg inspirálója volt Moriarty professzor alakjának, akit Sherlock Holmes fő ellenfeleként ábrázolt Arthur Conan Doyle. Vámpírláz A 20. századik második felére a temető elhanyagolttá vált, a sírok megroggyantak, a növényzet elburjánzott. A sírkert számos horrorfilmben volt helyszín, és emiatt újfajta érdeklődés célpontja lett: több sírt kiraboltak, megszentségtelenítettek. A Beyond the Grave (szabad fordításban: A síron túl) című könyv szerint önmagukat vámpírvadászoknak nevező emberek éjszakánként sírokat törtek fel, a holttestek mellkasába pedig kihegyezett karót döftek. „Az ellopott holttestek furcsa helyeken jelentek meg, folyamatos riadalmat keltve a helyi lakosokban. A temető szomszédságában élő egyik lakó rémülten fedezett fel egy fej nélküli testet az autója kormánykereke mögé támasztva az egyik reggel” - fogalmaz a könyv. Az 1970-es évek vámpírlázát két bűvész, Farrant és Manchester is fűtötte, akik hivatalos vérszívóvadászatot hirdettek, tömegeket csábítva ezzel az éjszakai temetőbe.
