Society of Chemical Industry

Die Society of Chemical Industry (SCI) ist eine ursprünglich britische Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Industriellen und Angewandten Chemie. Die Gesellschaft wurde 1881 in London gegründet bei einer Versammlung im Burlington House, dem Sitz der Chemical Society. Erster Präsident war der Chemiker Henry Enfield Roscoe und zu den Gründern zählten auch Ludwig Mond, Lowthian Bell, William Henry Perkin, Rudolph Messel, der Seifenfabrikant Edward Rider Cook (1836–1898), Eustace Carey, Thomas Tyrer, Walter Weldon, Frederick Augustus Abel und George E. Davis. Zuvor gab es 1879 den Versuch, eine chemische Gesellschaft für Lancashire in Liverpool zu gründen ähnlich einer bereits bestehenden für das Tyne-Gebiet (Newcastle upon Tyne Chemical Society), man war sich aber bald darauf klar, dass die Gründung einer nationalen Gesellschaft sinnvoller war. 1907 erhielt die Gesellschaft Royal Charter. Seit 1955 ist ihr Hauptsitz am Belgrave Square in London. Sie geben Zeitschriften heraus, organisieren Konferenzen und Weiterbildungsmaßnahmen, vergeben Stipendien und Preise wie die Lampitt Medal und den Distinguished Service Award. Es gibt Untergruppen für verschiedene Sparten (Agrisciences, Colloid and Surface Chemistry, Construction Materials, Environment, Health and Safety, Electrochemical Technology, Fine Chemicals). Zu den Zeitschriften gehören die monatliche Chemistry & Industry (C & I) und die ab 1993/94 in Kollaboration mit John Wiley & Sons herausgegebenen Peer-Review Zeitschriften Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Energy Science & Engineering, Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology (ab 1951), Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture (ab 1950), Pest Management Science und Polymer International. Von 1882 bis 1950 hatten sie auch ein Journal of the Society of Chemical Industry (JSCI), das durch spezialisiertere Journale abgelöst wurde. Aus den Übersichten über neue Entwicklungen der JSCI entstand 1923 das Hausjournal C & I. Es gibt separate Unterorganisationen in den USA (America Section), Kanada und Australien. Die US-Gesellschaft wurde 1894 in New York gegründet und nannte sich ab 1919 America Section. Sie vergeben die Perkin Medal (ab 1906) und die Chemical Industry Medal sowie die Castner Med (etwa an Bernhard Timm).

Sockburn Hall

Sockburn Hall is a privately owned 19th-century country house at Sockburn, near Darlington, County Durham, England. It is a Grade II* listed building. As at 2008, both the Hall and adjoining Grade II coach house were listed by English Heritage on the Buildings at Risk Register, as was the adjacent ruined Grade I Church of All Saints. History The Manor of Sockburn was for many years in antiquity the home of the Conyers family, known, inter alia, for the legend of the Sockburn Worm. In the late 17th century the estate was purchased by the Blackett family. The present house was built to replace the old manor for the occupation of Henry Collingwood Blackett (third son of Sir William Blackett, 5th Baronet) in about 1834 in a neo Jacobean architecture, with three bays, two storeys and attics above and shaped gables. Following the death of Blackett's widow in 1877 the house was let out. It deteriorated during the 20th century and in recent times the current owners have begun a restoration project.

Il Soho Theatre è un teatro londinese situato nel quartiere di Soho della Città di Westminster. Il teatro, inaugurato nel 2000, presenta un programma di teatro di prosa, cabaret e stand-up comedy. Storia La Soho Theatre Company fu fondata nel 1969 da Verity Bargate e Fred Proud e cominciò ad esibirsi in un teatro ad Old Compton Street. Successivamente la compagnia si trasferì al Soho Poly dell'Università di Westminster, dove rimase per diciotto anni, alcuni dei quali trascorsi sotto la supervisione della direttrice artistica Sue Dunderdale. In questo periodo la compagnia portò in scena le prime assolute di diverse opere di voci importanti della drammaturgia britannica come Howard Brenton, Sue Townsend, Hanif Kureishi, Timberlake Wertenbaker e Pam Gems. Nei primi anni novanta la compagnia Soho continuò a cambiare teatro, portando in scena le loro opere al Royal Court Theatre, ai Riverside Studios e all'Institute of Contemporary Arts, mentre tra il 1993 e il 1995 lavorarono presso il Cockpit Theatre. Nel 2000 la compagnia si trasferì stabilmente nel teatro attuale a Dean Street.

Sol Northampton

Sol Northampton (previously officially and still locally known as Sol Central Northampton) is a leisure complex in Northampton, England, with a multi-screen cinema, gym and beauty salon among other facilities. It was constructed in 2002 to replace the Barclaycard head office building previously sited there from the 1970s before relocating to the nearby Brackmills industrial estate. In the late nineties after Barclaycard had moved to its new offices in Brackmills, plans were drawn up to redevelop the site. Northampton's then only main cinema was at Sixfields, constructed when the football club moved its home there. It was and is by and large difficult to get to from other areas in the town. The idea was to build a new leisure and retail space within the town centre similar to nearby places such as Milton Keynes which had recently opened the Xscape Centre. When opened in 2002, it contained a hotel, night club/bar, gym and health club and a UCI (now Vue) 10-screen cinema complex seating over 2,500 with a 3-D facility. In 2018 the "Central" was officially dropped from the name, and the owning company began looking for new tenants to fill vacant parts of the building. In February 2020 the roof was damaged in high winds. This necessitated closure of two streets (Marefair and Horsemarket) bounding the site for 16 days, whilst the roof was repaired and adjudged to be safe.

Solomon's Temple, Buxton

Solomon's Temple, also known as Grinlow Tower, is a Victorian folly on the summit of Grin Low hill, near the spa town of Buxton in the Derbyshire Peak District. On 23 February 1894, a meeting at Buxton Town Hall decided to rebuild a landmark tower that had been built by Solomon Mycock, of the Cheshire Cheese Hotel, in the early 19th century, and of which only a few stones remained. The Local Board vice-chairman had talked with the seventh Duke of Devonshire's agent and decided that the reconstruction was feasible if the townspeople would donate sufficient money. Sketches were submitted by architects W. R. Bryden and G. E. Garlick. By May, the plans were confirmed by the Duke, and it was well known that the site was of prehistoric importance. In June, the Duke subscribed £25 towards building the folly. Buxton had already subscribed £50. The foundation stone was laid by Colonel Sidebottom, M.P., on 31 May 1896, witnessed by a large crowd, and the tower was opened by Victor Cavendish in September 1896. The tower was restored in 1988 by public subscription. The structure is a 20-foot-high (6.1 m), two-storey tower built on top of a Bronze Age barrow, sitting on top of a ridge at a height of 440 metres (1,440 ft) above sea level. From the open top of the tower there are good 360-degree views over the town and the surrounding countryside and parts of the Peak District. The tower does not contain anything other than the staircase to the top. It is a Grade II listed building. See also Listed buildings in Buxton References
Somerford Booths Hall

Somerford Booths Hall is a grade II* listed country house in the parish of Somerford Booths, Cheshire, England, 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) northwest of Congleton on the bank of the River Dane. History The house was built in 1612 as a moated dwelling for Edmund Swetenham. After several generations of Swetenhams the ownership passed in 1768 to Roger Cumberbatch, who then assumed the name and arms of Swetenham. The house was improved for Clement Swetenham in 1817 by John Webb. After several more generations the house was sold in the 1930s. During much of the 20th century the house has been used as offices. In 2010 planning permission was granted to restore it for residential use. Architecture The house is constructed in rendered brick, with ashlar dressings and a slate roof. It has an E-shaped plan and is in two storeys plus attics. The entrance front is symmetrical in five bays, the central and lateral bays projecting forwards. The central bay comprises a porch, containing a doorway with a lintel inscribed with "Edmund Swetenham" and the date 1612. Above this is a four-light window with mullions and a transom. At the top of the bay is a small gable with ball finials at the sides and apex. The recessed bays on each sides of the porch, and the projecting lateral wings, have five-light windows in the ground floor and four-light windows in the upper storey. The lateral wings are gabled and have ball finials. Behind and above the projecting wings is the attic floor that contains three gables, each with a three-light window and more ball finials. The left side of the house has four bays, three of which are gabled. In the ground floor are four sets of French windows; the upper floor contains sash windows. At the rear are five symmetrical bays, the central bay having a flat parapet, the others being gabled. The central bay contains a single-storey bay window. The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.

Someries Castle

Someries Castle (eller Summeries castle) er et Scheduled Ancient Monument i sognet Hyde ved byen Luton i Bedfordshire i England. Den blev bygget i 1400-tallet af sir John Wenlock, hvis spøgelse stadig skulle hjemsøge borgen. Selv om den altid omtales som en borg, er den egentlig en befæstet herregård. Navnet "Someries Castle" er afledt af William de Someries (eller Somerys), der boede på stedet. Wenlock købte stedet i 1430 og påbegyndte opførelsen af en herregård. Huset er unikt, da det er et af de første murstenbygninger i England. Huset blev ikke færdiggjort af Wenlock og blev delvist nedrevet i 1700-tallet. Portbygningen er delvis bevaret, og her findes rester af de oprindelige mursten i kapel og portnerbolig. Rester af den oprindelige herregård og/eller tidligere normanniske fæstning kan ses som jordvolde omkring grunden. Sten fra herregården blev brugt til at opføre gårdbygningerne i 1600-tallet. I februar 2007 blev ruinen lukket for offentligheden for at renovere den og gøre den sikker. Et stillads ødelagde en mindre del af de oprindelige mure. Ruinen blev genåbnet i 2008.

Someries Castle

Someries Castle (auch Summeries Castle) ist eine Burgruine in der Gemeinde Hyde bei Luton in der englischen Verwaltungseinheit Central Bedfordshire. Die Burg wurde im 15. Jahrhundert im Auftrag von John Wenlock, 1. Baron Wenlock, errichtet, dessen Geist noch heute in dem Gemäuer hausen soll. Die Ruine, die heute als Scheduled Monument gilt, war eigentlich keine Burg, sondern nur ein befestigtes Herrenhaus. Der Name „Someries Castle“ leitet sich von William de Someries ab, der dort seinen Sitz hatte, aber die Bezeichnung “Castle” (dt.: Burg, Schloss) ist strittig, weil sie kaum das Gebäude beschreibt, auf das sie angewendet wird. Das Gelände erwarb Wenlock 1430 und sogleich begann der Bau des Hauses. Es gilt als einer der ersten Ziegelbauten in England. Wenlock konnte das Haus aber nie fertigstellen lassen und im 18. Jahrhundert wurde es teilweise zerstört. Das Mauerwerk kann man noch in den bis heute erhaltenen Überresten des Torhauses sehen, die eine Kapelle und eine Lodge beinhalten. Von den Überresten des ursprünglichen Herrenhauses oder der früheren normannischen Burg sind heute nur noch Erdwerke um den ehemaligen Standort sichtbar. Die Überreste des Torhauses des eigentlichen Herrenhauses und der Kapelle, die mit ihm verbunden war, stehen ebenfalls noch zum Teil. Einige Bausteine des Herrenhauses wurden im 17. Jahrhundert zum Bau nahegelegener Bauernhöfe genutzt. Das Haus wurde im Februar 2007 für die Öffentlichkeit geschlossen, damit man es sichern konnte. Das dafür verwendete Gerüst beschädigte das originale Mauerwerk. Seit 2008 ist das Haus wieder geöffnet. Einzelnachweise und Bemerkungen Literatur T. P.

Someries Castle

Someries Castle (sometimes spelt Summeries castle) is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, in the Parish of Hyde, near the town of Luton, Bedfordshire, England. History It was built in the 15th century by Sir John Wenlock, whose ghost is reputed to haunt the castle. Although always referred to as a castle it was actually a fortified manor house. The name "Someries Castle" is derived from William de Someries (or Somerys), who had a residence on this site, but the title "castle" is contentious since it hardly describes the structure to which it is applied. The site was acquired by Wenlock in 1430 and building the mansion commenced. The house is regarded as one of the first brick buildings in England. The house was not completed by Wenlock, as the Tudor historian John Leland noted. Work was halted after Wenlock's death at the battle of Tewkesbury in 1471. The site passed to the Rotheram family. The mansion was partly demolished in the 18th century. The brickwork can still be seen in the remains of the gatehouse, incorporating the chapel and lodge, which still stands. Earthworks previously thought to originate from an earlier manor house are now considered to relate to the 15th-century mansion's formal garden. Bricks from the mansion have been utilized in nearby 19th-century farm buildings. Present day The castle closed to the public in February 2007 in order to make the structure safe and was surrounded by scaffolding, which damaged the original brickwork. It reopened in 2008.

Château de Someries

Le château de Someries (parfois orthographié Summeries Castle) est un monument ancien classé, situé dans la paroisse de Hyde, près de la ville de Luton, dans le Bedfordshire, en Angleterre. Il est construit au XVe siècle par John Wenlock, dont le fantôme est réputé hanter le château. Bien que toujours appelé château, il s'agit en réalité d'un manoir fortifié. Le nom « Château de Someries » est dérivé de William de Someries (ou Somerys) qui a une résidence sur ce site, mais le titre « château » est controversé car il décrit à peine la structure à laquelle il s'applique. Le site est acquis par Wenlock en 1430 et la construction du manoir commence. La maison est considérée comme l'un des premiers bâtiments en brique d'Angleterre. La maison n'a pas été achevée par Wenlock, comme l'a noté l'historien Tudor John Leland. Les travaux sont interrompus après la mort de Wenlock lors de la bataille de Tewkesbury en 1471. Le site passe à la famille Rotheram. Le manoir est en partie démoli au XVIIIe siècle. La maçonnerie est encore visible dans les vestiges de la guérite, comprenant la chapelle et la loge, qui existent toujours. Les travaux de terrassement que l'on pensait auparavant provenir d'un manoir antérieur sont désormais considérés comme liés au jardin à la française du manoir du XVe siècle. Les briques du manoir ont été utilisées dans les bâtiments de ferme voisins du XIXe siècle.

Zamek Someries

Zamek Someries to ruiny zamku z epoki Tudorów, położone w pobliżu Luton, w hrabstwie Bedfordshire, w Wielkiej Brytanii. Nazwa zamku wywodzi się od Williama de Somery, przedstawiciela rodziny posiadającej ziemię w tym obszarze. Prace nad budową zamku rozpoczęły się około 1440 roku pod egidą barona Johna Wenlocka. Mimo że zamek nigdy nie został dokończony, jest uznawany za jeden z pierwszych budynków w Anglii, w których na szeroką skalę wykorzystano cegłę jako główny materiał budowlany, co czyni go ważnym elementem historii architektury brytyjskiej. Historia Zamek został zbudowany XV wieku przez barona Wenlocka w miejscu wcześniejszej XIII-wiecznej rezydencji Williama de Somery. Po śmierci barona w 1471 roku majątek przeszedł w ręce Thomasa Rotherhama, biskupa Lincoln i późniejszego arcybiskupa Yorku. Mimo ambitnych początków, zamek nigdy nie został ukończony. Inwentarz z 1606 roku wskazuje na częściowo funkcjonalną rezydencję z 20 pomieszczeniami oraz warsztatem kowalskim. Ponadto, zapisy z 1616 roku wspominają wielki gołębnik, a dane z podatku kominkowego z 1671 roku odnotowują 23 kominki. Zamek uległ znacznej rozbiórce w 1742 roku. Architektura Pozostałości zamku Someries obejmują bramę wjazdową i kaplicę oraz mury sięgające 10m tworząc północno-zachodnie skrzydło rezydencji magnata. Bramę wjazdową flankują półoktagonalne bastiony po obu stronach wejścia, prowadzące do tego, co byłoby zamkniętym dziedzińcem. Kaplica, mierząca 16 metrów na 5 metrów, zawiera duże okno w stylu perpendykularnym. Obszar głównej rezydencji jest zbudowany na nasypie ziemnym. Ogrody Ogrody zamku, datowane na XVI i XVII wiek, reprezentowane są przez prostokątne nasypy ziemne, z centralnym kwadratowym kopcem i otaczającymi je poziomymi obszarami. Ogrody te pierwotnie były uważane za część XIII-wiecznego miejsca otoczonego fosą. Wykopaliska z 1969 roku ujawniły tam ceramikę z XIII do XVI wieku.
