Greene's College Oxford

Greene's College Oxford (formerly Greene's Tutorial College, informally Greene's) is an independent (i.e. private) co-educational sixth form tutorial college (an educational institution which combines characteristics of a tuition centre and a college) in Oxford, England, UK. The college specialises in providing individualised tuition based on the Oxbridge tutorial system for students of any age, though mainly 16-18-year-olds. History The history of Greene’s College Oxford goes back to 1967 when Oxford classics graduate Edward Greene founded a small tutorial college known as Edward Greene’s Tutorial Establishment in the 17th century buildings of 45 Pembroke Street in Oxford. Greene's is the oldest tutorial college operating in Oxford. Traditionally an Oxbridge preparatory crammer which provided private tutoring exclusively for Oxford and Cambridge entrance, Greene's today prepares students for admission to universities worldwide. After the retirement of Edward Greene, the college was taken over by Christopher Upton, Matthew Uffindell and Alex Gray, three Oxford-educated tutors. The college has educated a number of high-profile students, which also includes the math child prodigy March Tian Boedihardjo. March was taught by about seven tutors during his two years of study and passed his school-leaving exams at the age of nine years. Thereafter, he entered a university in Hong Kong. Though the college used to teach children and adults of all ages, it now mainly educates students aged 16 and over. Buildings Greene's has buildings in the city centre of Oxford, near Pembroke College and Christ Church – two constituent colleges of the University of Oxford: Main Office: The college's administration building is based in the 17th century premises of 45 Pembroke Street. Study Centre: Teaching and testing for students takes place at the college's study centre and exam halls at 97 St Aldate's Street. The Main Office and the Study Centre, although technically two separate buildings, are connected through a doorway and essentially form one building. Curriculum The college provides preparation for British and international pre-university school-leaving qualifications. Students at Greene's are taught in one-to-one tutorials, the same teaching method practised by the University of Oxford and by the University of Cambridge. The school offers in-person and online tuition. Tutors set homework after every tutorial, go through it at the next tutorial, and write reports about performance, effort in class, and homework after every class. The majority of the tutors are Oxford graduates. Academic achievement According to the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) in England, "the college exceeds expectations". Academic results are above national average and examination grades are mostly A* to B. References External links Official website College introduction Sister school
Greenfield Reservoir

Greenfield Reservoir is a reservoir in the Saddleworth parish of the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham in Greater Manchester, in the English Peak District. Lying within the historic boundaries of the West Riding of Yorkshire, above the village of Greenfield, it is on the edge of the Peak District National Park, near the A635 road on Saddleworth Moor. The reservoir is fed by the Greenfield Brook and is above the Yeoman Hey Reservoir, which in turn feeds into Dovestone Reservoir. The Ashton-under-Lyne, Stalybridge and Dukinfield (District) Waterworks Joint Committee's reservoir scheme in the Greenfield Valley commenced in 1870. Greenfield and the valley's other reservoirs are owned by United Utilities. Greenfield Reservoir was built between 1897 and 1902 and is shallow, with a maximum depth of 20 metres. It has a capacity of 464 million litres and sits at an altitude of 271 meters. The shoreline is 0.922 kilometres and it is the smallest of four reservoirs located in the area. The area is popular with walkers, with footpaths along Yeoman Hey linking the reservoir with Dovestone Reservoir. The Dovestone area is subject to a public protection order and is also popular with bird watchers, with the RSPB working with United Utilities to look after the areas habitats, which include peregrine falcons, curlews and golden plovers.

Greenham Barton

Greenham Barton is a 13th-century manor house in the civil parish of Stawley, Somerset, England (at Greenham, west of Wellington in Somerset). Built in 1279, it has been designated as a Grade I listed building. In early 14th century the local lords of the manor were the Bluett and Cothay families, who owned both the nearby Cothay Manor and Greenham Barton. The manor came to the Bluett family around 1300 when Sir Walter Bluett married the daughter of the then owner Simon de Gryndenham. Later - in the early 14th century - John Bluett, the elder son of the union of the Bluett family with the Cothay family, inherited Greenham Barton, with the younger son Richard inheriting Cothay. The nearby manor of Holcombe Rogus, in Devon, was acquired by the Bluett family in the early 15th century, where they resided at Holcombe Court until 1858. The original house consisted of living quarters around a courtyard with the Great Hall being modernised in the early-mid 16th century. During World War I the condition of the house deteriorated until it was bought by a Mr Fry in 1920 and renovated. Further restoration has been undertaken since 1968 when it was bought by Mr ER Willis. See also List of Grade I listed buildings in Taunton Deane References
Greenhead Park

Greenhead Park is an urban park located 0.5 miles (0.8 km) west of the town centre of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England. It is one of the largest parks in Huddersfield and was originally opened in 1884. It is an English Heritage grade II listed property and is also in a Conservation Area. It is a very popular park, attracting an estimated 250,000 visitors each year. It is popular with visitors from all walks of life, including students at lunchtime from the local colleges—Greenhead College and Kirklees College. The park features tennis courts, a skate park, play area and the last remaining paddling pool in Kirklees. Greenhead Park is also home to Huddersfield Pétanque Club. History Efforts to make a public park in this part of Huddersfield began more than 15 years before its opening on 27 September 1884. It was Alderman Thomas Denham, who initially privately leased 15 acres of land from the owners so that the people of Huddersfield could enjoy access to it in 1870. Then, in 1881, the Huddersfield Corporation made a deal with the Ramsden Estate for a purchase of 30 acres of land and that is when initial development began of the park we know today. Events The annual Caribbean Carnival event has been held in the park each summer for many years, along with many other popular events. In 2009, A £5 million restoration project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, began to improve the park, and over the course of the next 2 years the park was transformed into a wonderful place to visit. Existing buildings were fully restored, a new play area created, one of the original lakes reinstated, boundary railings and gates replaced. It was completed in autumn 2012. 2012 sees the full scale return to the park of a number of large events, starting with Mumford and Sons on 2 June, followed by a 3-day Concerts in the Park the weekend after (8, 9 & 10 June), with more events lined up over the summer. Throughout the year there's a range of other, regular events, including parkrun at 9 am every Saturday morning, Nordic walking on Fridays, and wildlife club. Greenhead Park is a short distance from where William Eastwood and his wife Mary lived at Eastwoods Yard behind their drapers shop on Manchester Street (now Market Street) where they also bred Broken haired Terriers (now called Yorkshire Terriers) including the famous Huddersfield Ben (1865 - 1871) Sold to Jonas & Mary Ann Foster of Bradford in 1867, he was a prolific winner and more importantly an outstanding stud dog and is still remembered worldwide as 'The Father of the Breed'.

Subsequent negotiations between Thames Clippers and Southwark Council resulted in its purchase by Thames Clippers, who will now take responsibility for its upkeep. Lines References
Greenlee Lough

Greenlee Lough is a lough or lake and national nature reserve 3 miles (5 km) north of Bardon Mill, and 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north of the B6318 road in Northumberland, northern England. The lough is owned and managed as a nature reserve by the Northumberland Wildlife Trust and the Northumberland National Park. It is a shallow lake fringed with water plants. Most of the reserve is open water. The lake's edge has reedbed, herb fen and blanket bog. It is used extensively by wildfowl and waders that feed in the shallow waters and wetlands. The lough was used as a reservoir by the Romans on Hadrian's Wall. Greenlee Sailing Club sailed GP14s, and later Lasers, and Mirrors throughout the 60s. The club closed down in the 70s due to the land owners selling the estate and the new owner not wishing to grant access. The white-clawed crayfish Austropotamobius pallipes is present in the Lough. The species is in decline in Europe, Great Britain, and in northeast England, and is the only crayfish native to the British Isles. The crayfish can grow up to a length of sixteen centimeters and are nocturnal. Male adults possess a green fluorescent protein (GFP, 27 kDa) in their flexible abdomen that serves as the ultimate light emitter in the bioluminescence reaction of the animal. The protein is made up of 238 amino acid residues in a single polypeptide chain and produces a greenish fluorescence (λmax = 508 nm) when irradiated with long ultraviolet light. The fluorescence is due to the presence of a chromophore consisting of an imidazolone ring, formed by a post-translational modification of the tripeptide -Ser65-Tyr66-Gly67-. It is likely that crayfish have never been widespread in Northumberland National Park as their preferred habitat of calcareous burns, rivers, and lakes is very limited. A fine preserved example of a thirteen-inch specimen can be seen in the lounge bar of the "Jingling Gate" public house near Westerhope. Viewing is only by prior arrangement.

Vale Park, New Brighton

Vale Park is a historic Victorian park in New Brighton, Merseyside, England. It features formal gardens, a rose garden, and a bandstand. The park opened in 1899 and has hosted weekly brass band concerts through the summer months since the day the park opened. Location The park is on New Brighton Promenade with views of the River Mersey and Liverpool. It is a short walk from The Black Pearl driftwood pirate ship. History The park opened on 20 May 1899 with the bandstand being added in 1926. Vale House, built circa 1830, was originally a family home. The family of Charles Holland, a Liverpool businessman and Wirral justice of the peace, lived here for over 50 years. Holland traveled widely and returned with botanical specimens that his gardeners planted, many of these plants and trees grace the park. The first Head Gardener of Vale Park was William Grinsell Burston, an expert botanist. Most of the design of the flowerbeds and footpaths were his. He died at Vale House in 1918.

Gregory's General Store

Gregory's General Store is an exhibit at the Black Country Living Museum. It once occupied numbers 89 & 90 Lawrence Lane, Old Hill, and was rebuilt on the museum site in 1980. It is set as it would have been in 1925. History Gregory's was originally a pair of houses built on Lawrence Lane, Old Hill, in 1883 by Charles Gregory, an iron worker. In the early 1900s the houses were converted to a double fronted shop with living accommodation up stairs for the family. The two houses were originally separated by a central tunnel or 'entry' to the back garden. When it operated as a general store, Gregory's held a wide variety of stock, meat and fresh produce. This was served from the right hand counter, and included; bacon, ham, beef suet, butter, cheese, eggs, homemade faggots, tripe and cow heel. The left hand counter sold various other items including sweets, cigarettes, clothes, hats and haberdashery items. The middle counter sold groceries and green grocery, however most of the fruit and vegetables would have been displayed outside the shop. Fruit and vegetable would have been available on a seasonal basis, and not all fruit and veg would be available all the time like we are used to today. Gregory's General Store catered for those on low wages, often allowing eggs to be sold individually and half loaves to be brought. Common essential items like tea, paraffin and butter would be sold by the penny's worth. Mrs Gregory also allowed customers to have items on the tick, meaning that she would give them the items on the basis that they would pay her when they received their wages. She would write what each customer owed in a book and tick their names off after they had paid her, hence the phrase 'on the tick'. References
Grey’s Monument

Grey’s Monument – pomnik w formie kolumny usytuowany w centrum angielskiego miasta Newcastle upon Tyne, na skrzyżowaniu Gray Street i Grainger Street. Monument stanowi jedną z najważniejszych atrakcji turystycznych Newcastle i jest zabytkiem I stopnia. Historia Kamień węgielny pod budowę obiektu położono 6 września 1837, a budowę ukończono w sierpniu 1838. Kolumna upamiętnia Charlesa Greya (2. hrabiego Grey i wynalazcę herbaty Earl Grey), który był lokalnym politykiem i premierem Wielkiej Brytanii w latach 1830–1834. Oprócz tego pomnik dedykowano uczczeniu uchwalenia reformatorskiej ustawy z 1832. Miała ona na celu wykorzenienie korupcji i zwiększenie liczby osób uprawnionych do głosowania. Obiekt zaprojektowali lokalni artyści: John i Benjamin Greenowie. Posąg na szczycie wyrzeźbił Edward Hodges Baily (twórca Kolumny Nelsona w Londynie). Pomnik ma wysokość 40,84 metra (134 stopy). Według wstępnych założeń miała mieć 45,72 metra, jednak zebrano na jej budowę za mało środków. Pod kamieniem węgielnym zakopano kapsułę czasu z rysunkiem pomnika, listą fundatorów, a także monety, medale i żetony. Na szczycie pomnika ustawiony jest całopostaciowy posąg Earla Greya. W 1941 w wyniku uderzenia pioruna odpadła głowa posągu, która upadła na przejeżdżający niżej tramwaj, nie raniąc nikogo (nową głowę wykonał Roger Hedley, a zamontowano ją dopiero w 1947). Możliwe jest wejście do wnętrza kolumny i dostanie się na platformę widokową na szczycie po 163 kamiennych stopniach. Okolice monumentu są popularnym miejscem spotkań mieszkańców miasta, jak również miejscem marszów, demonstracji i występów ulicznych artystów. Nawiązania Obecna Gray Street w centrum Newcastle pierwotnie nosiła nazwę Upper Dean Street, lecz nazwę zmieniono na cześć Charlesa Greya. Stacja metra zlokalizowana pod pomnikiem nosi na jego cześć nazwę „Monument”. Galeria Przypisy
