Aston Hall

Aston Hall è un edificio in stile giacobiano situato ad Aston, Birmingham, classificato tra gli edifici di primo grado. Storia La costruzione di Aston Hall, progettata da John Thorpe, comincia nell'aprile 1618 e si conclude nell'aprile 1635. Nel 1631, quattro anni prima della fine della costruzione, Thomas Holte inizia a risiedere ad Aston Hall. Gli Holte, sostenitori della monarchia, ospitano Carlo I d'Inghilterra il 18 ottobre 1642 prima che il sovrano e la sua armata si scontrino con le truppe parlamentari a Edgehill (Warwickshire) nella prima importante battaglia della guerra civile. Aston Hall viene assediata dalle forze del Parlamento nel dicembre 1643: la residenza subisce danni, alcuni ancora presenti. La residenza rimane in famiglia fino al 1817, quando viene venduta a James Watt Jr., figlio di James Watt; alla morte del nuovo proprietario nel 1858, passa alla compagnia privata Aston Hall and Park Company Ltd, diventando la prima casa storica dell'Inghilterra a essere aperta come parco pubblico e museo. Il 15 giugno di quello stesso anno la regina Vittoria apre la residenza al pubblico, cominciando una tradizione di serate a lume di candela. Nel 1864 viene comprata dalla municipalità di Birmingham in seguito a difficoltà economiche. Nel 1878 e per alcuni anni, Aston Hall ospita la collezione d'arte e il museo delle armi in seguito ad un incendio della biblioteca pubblica e del Birmingham and Midland Institute, fino alla costruzione del nuovo edificio. Nel 1927 la Birmingham Civic Society progetta dei giardini, realizzati dal Comune impiegando una forza lavoro reclutata tra i disoccupati e pagata dai contributi pubblici: i lavori si concludono sette anni dopo. Verso la fine del ventesimo secolo gli interni vengono rinnovati, mantenendo comunque lo stile originario della casa. Nel 2012 la gestione di Aston Hall passa al Birmingham Museums Trust, diventando un museo della comunità aperto al pubblico in primavera ed estate dopo un massiccio rinnovamento, costato 12 milioni e mezzo di sterline, eseguito tra il 2006 e il 2009. La mostra allestita nelle sale è formata da mobili, dipinti, tessuti e lavori in metallo provenienti dalle collezioni del Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery. Ogni due anni la residenza ospita un evento natalizio serale, "Aston Hall by Candlelight", durante il quale degli attori riportano in vita le festività del diciassettesimo secolo e la casa è illuminata da centinaia di candele.

Aston Manor Road Transport Museum

Aldridge Transport Museum, home to the Aston Manor Road Transport Museum's collection of vehicles is an independent transport museum in Aldridge, Walsall, England. Until December 2011 the museum occupied the former Birmingham Corporation Tramways Witton Tram Depot, in the Aston district of Birmingham, run by a registered charity. The museum hosted the 40th birthday party of Charles, Prince of Wales, on 14 November 1988, when he formally opened the museum. Following a decision by Birmingham City Council to cease funding the rent on the Witton Tram Depot, it closed in October 2011. Between then and December that year, the collection was moved to the Beecham Business Park, home to the former Jack Allen dustcart assembly plant, in nearby Aldridge. Subsequently, the museum moved again, this time a short distance within Aldridge, to its present location in Shenstone Drive, Aldridge, where it opened to the public in July 2013. Since reopening, the museum has retained its bus collection but also added an increased number of light commercial vehicles on display. The museum, which is operated entirely by volunteers, is open on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10:30 to 16:00 throughout the year excluding the Christmas Holiday period. On a number of weekends throughout the year there are special events with a free bus service from Walsall (Hatherton Street) to the museum and back using classic buses. The museum's Classic buses also run free of charge on certain event days to the Chasewater Railway, Lichfield, and around Barr Beacon. The vehicles displayed in the museum are changed over with those which are in safe storage off site giving variety to the exhibits on display at any one time. References
Aston Reservoir

Aston Reservoir, sometimes known as Salford Lake, Salford Park Pool or Salford Bridge Reservoir, is a 19th-century reservoir, formerly used for drinking water extracted from the River Tame, in Birmingham, England. It was built by the Birmingham Waterworks Company and was at that time situated in the parish of Aston. On 1 January 1876 the company was purchased by Birmingham Corporation Water Department. It used to be a lake for boating more recently, but that is no longer the case. In the 1950s it was used for speedboat racing. The area around the reservoir is used as a park, Salford Park. It has a capacity of 111,400 m3 (145,700 cu yd) behind an earthfill dam, and sits immediately adjacent to Gravelly Hill Interchange (a.k.a. Spaghetti Junction) of the M6 motorway and Aston Expressway, and in a bend of the river.

The tree species comprise many different types and the area supports many rare and local species. The individual woods are part of a matrix of various habitats (semi natural and unimproved grassland). The wood is mainly on Carboniferous Limestone and has Old Red Sandstone on the lower slopes. It is considered one of the finest examples of rich calceaous mixed coppice in the area. Trees include Ash, Small-leaved Lime with scattered Alder, Sessile Oak and Field Maple. The woodland is managed coppice. The ground flora includes Dog's Mercury, Bramble and Hart's-tongue Fern. Rarities include Broad-leaved Helleborine, Spurge Laurel and some Wild Daffodil.

Atkinsons

Atkinsons is a family-owned department store located on The Moor in Sheffield, England. The store has been trading for around 150 years and sells a wide range of merchandise including fashion, furniture, bedding, homewares, curtains, blinds, lighting, gifts, cosmetics & fragrance, beds, domestic appliances footwear, bags, luggage, and cookshop. Facilities include three distinct eateries and a car park located above the store, accessible via Charter Row. There is also a fitted furniture department, carpet department, Pavers Shoes and Grape Tree Foods concessions. History John Atkinson arrived in Sheffield in 1865, and worked as an assistant at the Sheffield drapery Cole Brothers until he was 26. In 1872 he opened his own drapery in South Street, now known as The Moor, with the store specialising in hosiery, ribbons and lace. The store started to expand by 1879 purchasing its first neighbouring store, and by 1890 had been transformed from a drapery into a department store. The business was so successful that the original shop units were demolished and replaced by a new building. John Atkinson's sons Harold Thomas Atkinson and John Walter Atkinson eventually took over the running of the business from their father, who died in 1929. During the 1930s Atkinsons' had an in-store zoo, which saw a baby crocodile escape. It was found dead in the lift shaft. During the Second World War the store was completely destroyed by the Blitz in 1940. The business however improvised setting up its headquarters in St Judes Church in Milton Street, and opening departments across the city including a Kiosk outside the railway station and inside the semi-blitzed Central Cinema. The business lost all its ledgers during the blaze, however 80% of its credit accounts had been repaid within 3 months of the bombing. The business continued to be operated like this until 1960 when a new purpose-built store opened on The Moor. In recent years the store has undergone a number of refurbishments, including new lighting and escalators, new menswear area, and most recently a luxury fragrance and bath body area. References
Atkinsons

Atkinsons is een in 1872 opgericht warenhuis gelegen aan The Moor in het Engelse Sheffield. De winkel is in familiehanden. Het assortiment bestaat onder andere uit mode, meubels, verlichting, geschenken, cosmetica, bedden, huishoudelijke apparaten en keukenartikelen. Daarnaast zijn er drie verschillende eetgelegenheden en een parkeerdek dat bereikbaar is via Charter Row. Geschiedenis John Atkinson verhuisde in 1865 naar Sheffield en werkte tot zijn 26e als assistent bij manufacturenzaak Cole Brothers in Sheffield. In 1872 opende hij zijn eigen textielwinkel aan The Moor (destijds South Street geheten), gespecialiseerd in kousen, linten en kant. De winkel begon uit te breiden door in 1879 de naastgelegen winkel te kopen en in 1890 was het omgevormd van een textielwinkel tot een warenhuis. Atkinson had voldoende vertrouwen in het aanhoudende succes om de oorspronkelijke winkelpanden te slopen en te vervangen door een nieuw pand. Harold en Walter, de zonen van John Atkinson, namen het bedrijf uiteindelijk over van hun vader, die in 1929 stierf. Tijdens de jaren dertig had Atkinsons een dierentuin in de winkel, van waaruit een babykrokodil ontsnapte en later dood werd aangetroffen in de liftschacht. In 1940, tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog, werd de winkel volledig verwoest. Het bedrijf improviseerde echter met het opzetten van een hoofdkwartier in de St. Judes Church in Milton Street en het openen van afdelingen in de stad, waaronder een kiosk buiten het treinstation en in de deels vernietigde Central Cinema. Het bedrijf verloor zijn complete boekhouding tijdens de brand, maar 80% van zijn uitstaande kredieten werd binnen drie maanden na het bombardement terugbetaald. Het bedrijf werd op deze manier geëxploiteerd tot 1960, toen een nieuwe speciaal gebouwde winkel werd geopend op The Moor. Het warenhuis deed aanzienlijke investeringen in 2017 om zijn klanten een moderne winkel- en vrijetijdservaring te blijven bieden. Daarnaast werden er nieuwe toonaangevende merken in het assortiment opgenomen. Het warenhuis heeft een oppervlakte van ruim 6.900m². In 2020 won het warenhuis een Sheffield Retail Award.

Етихад Стейдиъм

Етиха̀д Стейдиъм (на английски: Etihad Stadium) е спонсорско название (от юли 2011 г.) на стадиона Сити ъф Манчестър (на английски: City of Manchester Stadium) в град Манчестър, Англия. Стадионът е домашна арена на клуба „Манчестър Сити“. Това е четвъртият по големина стадион в английската висша лига и осми във Великобритания. Той е построен през 1999 г. На 23 юни 2007 г. той е обявен за 5-ия най-дълъг стадион в Премиършип. През 2004 г. на този стадион свириха Ред Хот Чили Пепърс. Първоначалната идея на инициаторите е да се построи лекоатлетически стадион за кандидатурата на Манчестър за Летните олимпийски игри през 2000 г. Манчестър не печели домакинството, но през 2002 г. приема Британските игри, като първоначалният проект е намален от 80 000 седящи места до 50 000. Стадионът е построен от Laing Construction за £112 млн. За да се осигури дългосрочната финансова жизнеспособност на проекта, след игрите на Британската общност стадионът е отдаден под наем на футболен клуб Манчестър Сити, които са решили да оставят собствения Мейн Роуд, но след като бъде премахната лекоатлетическата писта – постигнато е, като се създава допълнително по-ниско ниво (нов първи етаж) на трибуните, чрез разкопаване на пистата в дълбочина. Реконструкцията от атлетически до футболен стадион струва на общинската хазна £22 млн. Манчестър Сити инвестират допълнително £20 млн. за създаване на барове, ресторанти и корпоративни развлекателни площи. Клубът се мести на новия стадион през лятото на 2003 г. Клубът „Манчестър Сити“ сключва договор за 250-годишна концесия на стадиона с право за неговото преименуване. През юли 2011 г. клубът преименува стадиона на „Етихад“ като част от 10-годишно споразумение с главния спонсор – Етихад Еъруейз, авиокомпания от Обединените арабски емирства. През януари 2014 г. започва реконструкция, след завършването на която стадионът започва да побира 55 000 зрители. След поредната реконструкция стадионът влиза в списъка на съоръженията за провеждане на мачовете от Световното първенство по ръгби за 2015 г. Източници

V roce 2011 byl po podepsání sponzorské smlouvy se společností Etihad Airways přejmenován na Etihad Stadium . Historie stadionu Stadión byl původně postaven jako atletický, pro neúspěšný pokus Manchesteru získat letní olympijské hry v roce 2000. Stál 110 miliónů liber, a otevřen byl v roce 2002, pro hry Commonwealthu, poté přestavěn a rozšířen o 12 000 míst, za dalších 30 miliónů liber do dnešní podoby. V roce 2003 se zde odehrál první fotbalový zápas – přátelské utkání Manchester City – Barcelona, který Citizens vyhráli 2:1. První gól vsítil Nicolas Anelka. Zatím nejdůležitější akcí na Etihad Stadium, kterému se také přezdívá Eastlands, bylo finále Poháru UEFA (dnes Evropské Ligy) v roce 2008, mezi Zenitem Petrohrad a Glasgow Rangers. Dále také již zmiňované hry Commonwealthu v roce 2002, reprezentační zápas Anglie – Japonsko (2004), či zápas rugby league Velká Británie – Austrálie (2004). Nyní, v sezóně 2011/2012 je to pátý největší stadion Premier League, a dvanáctý největší stadion ve Velké Británii. Noví majitelé dále plánují rozšíření kapacity, mluví se až o 60 000 místech.
