Morgan Motor Company

Morgan, brittiskt bilmärke som tillverkas av familjeföretaget Morgan Motor Company i Malvern Link, Worcestershire, England. Åren 1910-1952 tillverkades trehjulingar, och sedan 1936 tillverkas fyrhjuliga bilar. År 2011 lanserade man en ny trehjuling. Trehjulingarna 1910 presenterade Morgan sin första trehjuling, The Runabout. Tekniskt sett är trehjulingen en motorcykel med koppling och styranordning hämtad från bilens värld. Ramen är en fackverkskonstruktion bestående av rör ihopfogade med lödda gjutjärnsmuffar. Framhjulen har individuell fjädring, något som var mycket ovanligt på den tiden. Bakhjulet är fastsatt i en fjäderupphängd gaffel. Den för sin tid moderna chassikonstruktionen gjorde i kombination med den låga vikten trehjulingarna framgångsrika på tävlingsbanorna. Exakta tillverkningssiffror saknas, men det uppskattas att drygt 30.000 trehjuliga Morgan byggdes fram till 1952 då produktionen upphörde. Nya 3 Wheeler På den Internationella bilsalongen i Genève i mars 2011 presenterades en helt ny trehjuling kallad Morgan 3 Wheeler. Den har en retrodesign som påminner om de gamla trehjulingarna, men har modern teknik med bland annat motorer från den amerikanska firman S&S och växellådor från Mazda. Tillverkningen startade i juni 2011. Fyrhjulingarna År 1936 introducerade man sin första fyrhjuliga bil, Morgan 4/4. Flera av Morgans modeller som tillverkas i dag (4/4, +4 och Roadster) är i rakt nedstigande led besläktade med ursprungsmodellen från 1936. Morgans biltillverkning har alltid präglats av konservatism, gällande design, tekniska förändringar och de hantverksmässiga tillverkningsmetoderna. Till exempel tillverkas karossens stomme fortfarande av askträ. Trots, eller snarare på grund av detta, var det tidigare så många köpare att man fick vänta i flera år på sin bil, men numera har Morgan blivit effektivare och levererar med endast ett par månaders väntetid. År 2001 presenterade man en helt ny modell, Aero 8, som var den första helt nya modellen sedan fyrhjulingarna kom 1936. Aero 8 har ett chassi av aluminium och V8-motor från BMW. Delar av karosstommen tillverkas på vanligt vis av askträ.

Castleford Civic Centre

Castleford Civic Centre is a municipal building in Ferrybridge Road in Castleford, a town in West Yorkshire in England. The building, which was previously the offices and meeting place of the Municipal Borough of Castleford, is now used as a local events venue. History After significant industrial growth in the mid-19th century, largely associated with the coal mining and glass industries, a local board of health was formed in 1851. The local board established its offices in a new building, which became known as the Town Hall, in Carleton Street in the 1880. Castleford became an urban district in 1894 and a municipal borough in 1955. However, by the 1960s, the Municipal Borough of Castleford had outgrown the old town hall, and decided to commission a new building to house the council's administration and also provide a venue for events. The council organised a competition in 1964, which was won by the Griffiths Lewis Goad Partnership, described by Nikolaus Pevsner as a firm of "three very young architects". The winning design offered two large function rooms, the largest with a capacity of 700 people. The building was designed in the Brutalist style and clad in pre-cast concrete. The first phase of the building, consisting of the offices and events venue, was opened by Katharine, Duchess of Kent on 14 March 1970. The proposed second phase, a council hall, was never built. Sculpture for the building was commissioned from Diana Dean. The building ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged Wakefield Council was formed in 1974. However, the building continued to be used as a local events venue. In 1980, Henry Moore donated a sculpture, "Draped Reclining Figure", which was placed outside the building, but it was removed in 2012 due to concerns around possible theft. In 2022, the council considered closing the events spaces due to increases in energy prices. The following year, the council described the building as "under-utilised", and proposed to sell it off. Architecture The five-storey offices and three-storey events space form two sides of a square, on Ferrybridge Road, and the two are linked only at ground floor level. They are clad in precast concrete. There is a basement car park. The offices consist of two blocks linked by a staircase and lift tower, with each storey stepped back from the one below. References
Wheatley Viaduct

Wheatley Viaduct is a former railway bridge straddling the Hebble Brook on the northern side of Halifax, in West Yorkshire, England. The ten-arch viaduct was built as part of the Halifax High Level Railway that connected with the Queensbury lines complex of the Great Northern Railway between Halifax, Keighley and Bradford. The line was opened in 1890, and closed to all traffic in 1960. History The Queensbury lines were opened to traffic in the late 1870s, and the Halifax High Level Railway was opened in 1890. Originally the intent had been for the line to be extended through Halifax to connect with a proposed Hull and Barnsley Railway station in the centre of Halifax, and as such, the trackbed was built to accommodate two lines. The line had two major engineering features, the viaduct, and nearby 810 yards (740 m) Wheatley Tunnel, with the cost of the 3-mile (4.8 km) branch coming in at £300,000 (equivalent to £33,330,000 in 2025). Mapping from 1905 shows the entire branch had double track, but by the late 1940s when it was a freight only branch, just one line was in use across Wheatley Viaduct and through the adjacent tunnel. The viaduct has ten arches, each 50 feet (15 m) wide, and stretches for 200 yards (180 m) at a height of 100 feet (30 m). It has a curve of 23 chains (1,500 ft; 460 m) radius from the south to the east when viewed from above. In the original plans from 1874, the viaduct was to be 143 yards (131 m) long and 105 feet (32 m) high. The viaduct is constructed of rock-faced stone, ashlar and blue brick. The piers have springer stones facing out into each arch; it is believed that these supported the timber frame during the building phase. Just after the viaduct going east is the 810-yard (740 m) long Wheatley Tunnel. The viaduct is on the level, but has gradients on either side; 1-in-50 to the west, and 1-in-112 to the east leading up to the tunnel. Whilst the line was closed to passenger trains in 1917, goods continued until final closure in the summer of 1960. The former trackbed is not accessible to the public. In November 2023, the Historical Railways Estate announced that they would be carrying out over £1 million worth of renovations to the viaduct to remove vegetation, replaced water-damaged bricks and to reinforce one of the piers. The work was completed in September 2024. Notes References Sources Bairstow, Martin (2015). The Queesnbury Lines. Farsley: Bairstow. ISBN 978-1-871944-44-0.

PS Tattershall Castle

PS Tattershall Castle is a floating pub and restaurant moored on the River Thames at Victoria Embankment. It was a passenger ferry across the Humber estuary from 1934 to 1973, before being towed to London in 1976. History William Gray & Company of West Hartlepool built the ship as a passenger ferry on the Humber for the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER). She was launched on 24 September 1934. She plied the Humber Ferry route between Corporation Pier in Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire, and New Holland Pier in New Holland, Lincolnshire. In the Second World War she was a tether for barrage balloons and ferried troops and supplies along the Humber estuary. Due to the frequent heavy fogs on this river, she was fitted with radar, becoming one of the first civilian ships so equipped. After the war, with the nationalisation of the railways in 1948, she became part of British Rail's Sealink service. In 1973, after long service as a passenger and goods ferry, she was retired and laid up. Repairs on the ship were deemed too costly and she was retired from service. The opening of the Humber Bridge made the ferry service redundant. In 1976 Tattershall Castle was towed to London and was opened on the River Thames as a floating art gallery until her eventual disposal to the Chef & Brewer group. Before opening in 1982 as a restaurant, she was sent to the River Medway for further repairs. Tattershall Castle returned temporarily to Hull for a refit at MMS Ship Repair in 2015, at a cost of several million pounds. A sister ship also launched in 1934, the Wingfield Castle, is preserved at Hartlepool's Maritime Experience. A third similar Humber ferry, the Lincoln Castle, built in 1940, was scrapped in autumn 2010.

Warwickshire Justice Centre

The Warwickshire Justice Centre is a Crown Court venue, which deals with criminal cases, as well as a County Court venue, which deals with civil cases, in Newbold Terrace, Leamington Spa, England. The complex also incorporates magistrates' court, a police station, and other agencies such as the Probation Service and Victim Support. History Until the early 21st century, the Crown and County Courts in Warwickshire were based at Shire Hall in Warwick. However, as the number of court cases in the county grew, it became necessary to commission a more modern courthouse for both Crown Court hearings and County Court hearings. The site selected by the Ministry of Justice, on the northwest side of Newbold Terrace, had been occupied by a row of Regency style houses erected in the mid-19th century. These buildings had been badly damaged by German bombing during the Second World War and replaced by a series of low-rise buildings including some government offices, a magistrates' court building and a police station in the 1960s. The new building was intended to re-recreate the scale and massing of the original Regency style housing. Construction started in July 2008. It was designed by HLM in the Modernist style, built by Galliford Try in white stucco at a cost of £26.3 million and was completed in December 2010. It was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 4 March 2011. The design involved a main frontage in three main sections facing Newbold Terrace. The left hand section of five bays was fenestrated on the first and second floors by rows of casement windows, which were fronted by a slatted structure which was projected forward. The central section, which was recessed, was formed by a flight of steps leading up to a revolving door giving access to a full-height atrium, while the right hand section, which was taller than the other sections, was fenestrated by a series of recessed lancet windows spanning the first and second floors, which were surmounted by a huge Royal coat of arms. Internally, the complex was laid out to accommodate seven courtrooms, a magistrates' court, a police station, and other agencies such as the Probation Service and Victim Support. Notable cases included the trial and conviction of the radio presenters, Tony and Julie Wadsworth, in June 2017, in connection with historical child sex offences.

Maughan Könyvtár

A Maughan Library and Information Services Centre (magyarul Maughan Könyvtár és Információszolgáltató Központ) (gyakrabban emlegetett nevén a The Maughan Library) a City Chancery Lane-én található XIX. századi neogótikus épület. Régebben itt volt a Public Record Office, központja, melyet gyakran neveztek "a birodalom páncélszekrényének". Jelenleg a King's College London legnagyobb könyvtára, mely hivatalosan a strandi kampuszhoz tartozik. A II. védettségi csoportba sorolt épületet Sir James Pennethorne tervei alapján 1851 és 1858 között építették. A könyvtáron belül van a nyolcszögletű Kerek Olvasóterem, melyet a British Museumban lévő alapján készítettek el. Nyugati szobájában katedrálüvegből készült ablakok, hatalmas mozaikokból kirakott járólap és három szobor van. Utóbbiak közé tartozik egy fontos reneszánsz terrakotta alak is, amit Pietro Torrigiano készített John Yonge jogászról, ki 1516-ban halt meg. A könyvtárat Sir Deryck Maughanról, a King’s egyik végzett hallgatójáról nevezték el, aki 4 000 000 fontot adományozott az új könyvtár létrehozásához. Gyűjteménye több mint 750 000 darabos. Ezek között vannak könyvek, folyóiratok, Cd lemezek, felvételek, DVD-k, szakdolgozatok és dolgozatok is. Ezek az anyagok az iskola négy karáról – a Bölcsészettudományi, Jogi, Fizikai és Műszaki valamint a Társadalomtudományi és Közpolitikai karról – kerültek ide. Itt vannak a Feljogosított Adózási Intézet valamint a londoni, teológiai Sion College 1850 előtti iratai. Mindezen felül a könyvtárban van még több mint 150 000, a BBC-től 2001-ben kapott 78 rpm-es lemezek. Mindezen felül 2007-ben a könyvtár megkapta a brit külügyi és nemzetközösségi hivatal történelmi gyűjteményét, melyben többek között ott van a briteknek az 1812-ben az Amerikai Egyesült Államoknak küldött hadüzenete. Az épület ad otthont a Foyle Speciális Gyűjteménykönyvtárnak, ahol több mint "110 000 nyomtatvány és több száz térkép, tárgylemez, hangfelvétel és néhány kézirat" volt. Ezen kéziratok között van a Brit Zene Carnegie Gyűjteménye. Ez egy olyan gyűjtemény, mely eredeti, aláírt kéziratokat őriz, melyek között több olyan híres művészé is megvan, akiket a filantróp Andrew Carnegie támogatott.

Acton Cemetery

Acton Cemetery is an historic late–Victorian burial ground in the London Borough of Ealing. Managed by Ealing London Borough Council, the site is located in North Ealing, near to North Acton Underground Station. History The land for the Cemetery was purchased in 1893 by the Acton Urban District Council. It was previously part of Lower Place Farm. Two chapels were built in 1895, and the 6.5 acres were consecrated and opened for burials that year. The Metropolitan District Railway (now the Central Line) was built through the site in 1903, dividing the cemetery into two halves, connected by a metal bridge. More stations along the line as a result of the construction of a new Royal Agricultural Show site made the cemetery more accessible. Opened in 1903 by the Prince of Wales, the show site gave its name to the area now known as Park Royal The cemetery has a war memorial, and 143 graves relating to WWI and WWII are recorded at the site by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

Thames Tower

Thames Tower is an office building in Reading, UK. It is located in front of Reading railway station and adjacent to the new Station Hill development. History Thames Tower was completed in 1974. In September 2010, it was vacated. In June 2012, LaSalle Investment Management announced plans to demolish Thames Tower and replace it with a new 25-storey building which would be completed in 2015. However, in 2013 LaSelle Investment Management announced that it would instead refurbish the building as it was no longer confident that it could fill the new building while charging sufficient rent to fund its construction. In January 2014, the building was purchased by Brockton Capital and Landid Property. The joint venture announced in July, refurbished the building and added an additional four floors increasing its height from 45 metres (148 feet) to 55 metres (180 feet). As part of this retrofit all new wall and floor coverings were installed; specifically those of prefabricated timber slat wall and ceiling panels. The refurbished building opened in May 2016. In August 2018, the building was purchased by Spelthorne Borough Council. The ground floor level also contains a Pret a Manger, which is open to the public. References External links
