Grosvenor Vale

Le Grosvenor Vale est un stade de football situé au sud-est de la ville de Ruislip, dans le Grand Londres en Angleterre. Il possède une capacité totale de 4 085 places, ce qui en fait un stade de taille modeste mais adapté pour accueillir des rencontres sportives locales. Le Wealdstone FC, utilise régulièrement le Grosvenor Vale comme terrain de jeu pour ses matchs à domicile. En outre, l'équipe féminine du Watford FC (en) utilise également le Grosvenor Vale pour certains de ses matchs, probablement lors de rencontres amicales ou pour des équipes de jeunes. Autrefois, le Ruislip Manor FC (en) (actuels London Rangers), un club de football qui a depuis changé de stade, disputait également ses matchs à domicile au Grosvenor Vale. C'est un club bien-aimé dans la communauté locale. Histoire Le stade ouvre pour la première fois en 1947 pour accueillir le Ruislip Manor FC (en) (actuels London Rangers), qui y a joué jusqu'à ce que le club s'effondre en 2008 en raison de difficultés financières. Le stade a ensuite été acheté par le Wealdstone FC, qui avait partagé le terrain avec d'autres clubs pendant 17 ans après avoir quitté son stade du Lower Mead d'Harrow en 1991. Depuis lors, grâce à des efforts menés par les supporters, le site a été lentement amélioré et agrandi alors que Wealdstone progressait dans la pyramide du football amateur. À l'été 2022, l'équipe féminine du Watford FC (en) accepte de jouer la saison à venir au Grosvenor Vale.

Wytch Farm

Wytch Farm es un campo petrolífero y una instalación para el procesado del petróleo y el gas natural ubicada en el distrito de Purbeck (Dorset, Inglaterra). Constituye el campo petrolífero situado en tierra firme más grande en toda Europa. Las instalaciones, operadas por BP, se hallan ocultas dentro de un bosque de coníferas en Wytch Heath, sobre la orilla meridional del Puerto de Poole, unos tres kilómetros al norte de Corfe Castle. A través de oleoductos y gasoductos, el petróleo y el gas son exportados. El campo fue descubierto por British Gas plc en diciembre de 1973 y la producción petrolera comenzó en 1979. Como parte del proceso de privatización de British Gas en la década de 1980, Wytch Farm fue vendida a BP, la cual comenzó a operarla en 1984.​ Referencias
Camel Creek Adventure Park

Camel Creek Family Theme Park is an adventure park located in Wadebridge in Cornwall, England. History Terry Sandling bought Trelow Farm in Tredinnick and opened the property to the public in 1989 as The Shire Horse Centre. The property was then sold to Crealy Great Adventure Parks in 2004, and was branded as Cornwall's Crealy. Following an acquisition in 2015, John Broome CBE purchased Cornwall's Crealy and rebranded it as Camel Creek Adventure Park. It was then bought by Royale Life and is now known as Camel Creek Family Theme Park. Attractions There is a 5D theatre ("Mission Simpossible") with moving seats, 3D glasses and other equipment; the theatre also has 3D theatre viewings. There is also an indoor soft play area (Creeky's playhouse), Swamp Busters, animal areas as well as seasonal attractions such as a haunted house at Halloween and Santa's Grotto at Christmas. Proposed developments At the same time as purchasing the park, John Broome also purchased nearly 200 acres (81 ha) of land adjacent to it and announced his plans to turn Camel Creek Adventure park into a six-star resort. If developed as proposed, the plans would have created 955 jobs in and around a holiday and leisure park with 236 holiday homes. There would have also been a convention centre and amenities such as a restaurant, pub and shops. After the council granted permission for the project in October 2016, work was planned to complete in 2022 with construction reducing season times, opening hours and ride availability of Camel Creek. Although minimal progress has been made to the project, and with the plans being scaled back, Royale Life plan to continue with the expansion. References External links Official website
Hurstbourne Park

Hurstbourne Park is a country house and 1200-acre estate near Whitchurch, Hampshire, England. The park and garden are Grade II listed with Historic England since May 1984, "A late C18 landscape park and pleasure ground surrounding a late C19 house with formal terracing which incorporates a wooded deer park of C14 origin and surviving features from landscape designs of the early C18 by Thomas Archer." It has been owned by Sir Robert Oxenbridge, and his grandson, also Sir Robert, Sir Henry Farley, and his grandson, John Wallop, 1st Earl of Portsmouth. John Wallop, 2nd Earl of Portsmouth inherited Hurstbourne in 1762, and from 1780 to 1785, a new house was built by John Meadows, designed by James Wyatt (1747-1813). In 1891, it burned down, and Isaac Newton Wallop, 5th Earl of Portsmouth died a few months later. His son, Newton Wallop, 6th Earl of Portsmouth, had a new house built in 1891 to 1894. In 1936, the house and the deer park was sold to Ossian Donner, who gave it to his son Patrick Donner. During the Second World War it was used by the Bank of England, and Sir Patrick regained possession in 1947 and reduced the house to just under half its original size in 1965. In December 2000, Leonie Schroder and her then-husband Nicholas Fane bought the 1200-acre estate from the Donner family. A year later, they planned to demolish the remains of the 19th-century house and build a new one, whilst retaining the listed stable block, and the 19th century walled garden and pump house. They were planning on creating a semi-wild shooting estate. References Further reading Foyster, Elizabeth (2016).

Saint Edmund Hall

St Edmund Hall es uno de los colleges que constituyen la Universidad de Oxford en Inglaterra. Dentro de la universidad se le conoce afectivamente por su mote, “Teddy Hall”. El college dice ser “la más antigua sociedad académica para la educación de cualquier universidad”.​ Para 2018 St Edmund Hall College tuvo un presupuesto estimado en 58 millones de libras.​ Historia Como el resto de la Universidad de Oxford, la fecha precisa de la fundación del college es desconocida, pero generalmente se estima que fue en 1278. El college tiene este nombre en honor a San Edmundo de Abingdon, Oxfordshire, el primer Master of Arts conocido y el primer Arzobispo de Canterbury educado en Oxford, que vivió y enseñó en el lugar del college. St Edmund Hall tomo vida como uno de los aularios más antiguos de Oxford, los salones medievales que condujeron a la fundación de la Universidad, anteriores a la fundación de cualquier college. Como el único de los "halls" o aulas medievales que queda en pie, sus miembros son conocidos como “aularios”. St Edmund Hall adoptó estatuto de college en 1957, aunque mantuvo su antigua denominación de Hall. El college tiene una historia de enseñanza independiente, que ha entrado en conflicto tanto con el estado como con la Iglesia. Durante finales del siglo XIV y principios del XV, era un bastión de la herejía Wyclif, por lo que el director William Taylor fue quemado en la hoguera, y el otro director Meter Payne dejó el país. En el siglo XVII, sufrió la ira de la corona por fomentar a los injuriosos, personas que apoyaban a la Casa Escocesa de los Estuardo y se negaban a aceptar a la casa de Hannover, ya que consideraban a esta última usurpadora de la Corona británica. Localización y edificios St Edmund Hall se encuentra en un terreno central al norte de High Street. El patio frontal está bordeado por los aposentos, el antiguo comedor (1659), el bar del college (que contiene la antigua chimenea de mediados del siglo XV), la antigua capilla (finales del siglo XVII), ahora convertida en biblioteca, y habitaciones para estudiantes y maestros. En el medio del patio (quad) hay un pozo medieval. Unos pasadizos que salen del patio dan acceso a la biblioteca del college y a los jardines al norte; y a moderno bloque de habitaciones al este.

St Edmund Hall

Il St Edmund Hall è uno dei collegi costituenti l'Università di Oxford. L'esatta data di fondazione non è nota, similmente a quella dell'università, ma risale al XIII secolo. Ha conservato lo statuto di hall per un lungo periodo, divenendo ufficialmente un collegio solo nel 1957; per questo motivo conserva ancora il nome tradizionale. Il collegio è stato sede nei secoli di numerose diatribe religiose, fra le quali ad esempio il supporto delle idee del teologo John Wyclif per cui uno dei Master del St Edmund Hall fu arso vivo. Ad oggi rimangono alcune delle costruzioni originali; altre sono state aggiunte progressivamente, come la hall del 1659 e la cappella con la old library risalenti al tardo XVII secolo.

Supernova Heights

Supernova Heights is a house on Steele's Road in the Belsize Park district of the London Borough of Camden. The terraced property is most known for being the home of Oasis singer songwriter Noel Gallagher in the late 90s, and as a place of 'non-stop party'. The house was named in allusion to Oasis's song "Champagne Supernova". History Gallagher bought the house on Steele's Road in early 1997, and owned it for two and a half years. Gallagher subsequently described it as a "big, fucking heavy house". The house became the constant site of paparazzi photographers during Gallagher's occupancy. Fans of Oasis would regularly hang out outside the residence and the house became notorious locally for raucous parties. Gallagher described the house at this time as like a "bad advert for drugs if you went inside it". Gallagher's wife at this time, Meg Mathews, remembered one of the members of the band The Charlatans falling down the house's limestone staircase and breaking his leg. The supermodel Kate Moss lived at the house for several weeks. Sean Rowley interviewed Gallagher at the house for his BBC Radio programme, "All Back to Mine", that was broadcast on Christmas Day in 1997. Gallagher had soundproofing put in the house which led his neighbour Bob Hoskins to describe him as the "quietest neighbour in Europe". In a 2000 interview, Gallagher said that the house had "turned into a nightclub...The bar was always open, the door was always open, there were more people coming in and out than I ever got to know" and recalled "wasted years sitting there with the curtains closed" talking about conspiracy theories. An epiphany at the house in 1997 led to Gallagher's sobriety. Gallagher looked around the living room and realised that "20 to 30 people were there all the time. And none of them were my mates". Gallagher initially stopped drinking alcohol and taking recreational drugs for a week, which then became six weeks, and described himself as becoming "addicted to getting sober". He described the period between 1995 and 1997 as "mental and great. But unsustainable". "Supernova Heights was great for the time but then there came a point when I thought, 'I need to get out of this,'" Gallagher later told the Belfast Telegraph. It was sold by Gallagher to the actress and denizen of the Primrose Hill set Davinia Taylor in 1999 "on the strength of a drunken early morning conversation" as described by Kate Moss's biographer Laura Collins, and was later bought by the comedian and writer David Walliams in 2005 for £3.2 million. Walliams stated that he planned to take a year to renovate the house and joked that he wanted to call the house 'Superduper Heights'. Walliams restored the facade of the property and created "double-and-triple-storey spaces". He then put the house up for sale in 2018 for £5.35 million. References Rachel, Daniel (2019).

Ventnor Botanic Garden

Ventnor Botanic Garden is a botanic garden located in Ventnor, Isle of Wight. It was founded in 1970, by Sir Harold Hillier, and donated to the Isle of Wight Council. Its collection comprises worldwide temperate and subtropical trees and shrubs organised by region. The garden's unusual climate is more akin to the Mediterranean and enables a wide variety of plants considered too tender for much of mainland Britain to be grown. These grow in the open air, and benefit from the moist and sheltered microclimate of the south-facing Undercliff landslip area on the Isle of Wight coast. When frost does occur it is usually of short duration and not of great severity. History The garden is on the site of the Royal National Hospital for Diseases of the Chest, a sanatorium established there to exploit the same mild climate. Founded by Arthur Hill Hassall, designed by local architect Thomas Hellyer and opened in 1869 as the National Cottage Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the Chest, it offered 130 separate south-facing bedrooms for its patients. The hospital closed in 1964, made obsolete by drug treatment of tuberculosis, and was demolished in 1969. In 1970, the site was initially redeveloped as the Steephill Pleasure Gardens before Sir Harold Hillier's involvement in its more extensive development as a botanical garden. Despite the generally mild weather, plants had to be carefully selected to tolerate the shallow alkaline soil and salt winds, and the garden suffered serious damage in the unusually hard winter of 1986–7, the Great Storm of 1987, and another major storm in January 1990. A large greenhouse was built in 1986 and opened in 1987, where tropical plants are grown, including a pool containing 22 tonnes of heated water showing Giant Waterlily in the summer months, with surrounding Egyptian Blue Lotus flowers. In 2005, a new Palm Garden was opened, building on existing hardy and half-hardy palm trees on the site, including some specimens of Trachycarpus fortunei or Chusan palm, which date from the late-19th century and are the oldest outdoor-grown palm trees in the United Kingdom. In 2021, the collection of Arecaceae (palm trees) was given National Plant Collection status. The garden was managed by the Isle of Wight Council until 2012 when it transferred to Ventnor Botanic Garden CIC. Parking charges were replaced by an entry fee. The curator of the garden from 1986 until 2011 was Simon Goodenough, who was succeeded by Chris Kidd. Access The garden is located alongside the A3055 road, and buses on Southern Vectis' Route 6 stop nearby in Park Avenue. There are scenic walks from nearby Ventnor town.

Jardin botanique de Ventnor

Le Jardin botanique de Ventnor est un jardin botanique situé à Ventnor, sur l'île de Wight. Il a été fondé en 1970 par sir Harold Hillier qui en a fait don à l'île. Sa collection comprend des arbres et des arbustes tempérés et subtropicaux du monde entier, organisés par région. Le climat inhabituel du jardin est proche de celui de la Méditerranée et permet une grande variété de plantes considérées comme trop fragiles pour une grande partie de la Grande-Bretagne continentale. Celles-ci poussent en plein air et bénéficient du microclimat humide et abrité de la zone protégée par les falaises, orientée au sud sur la côte de l'île de Wight. Lorsqu'une période de gel survient, elle est généralement de courte durée et de faible intensité. Histoire Le jardin est situé sur le site de l'Hôpital Royal National pour les maladies de la poitrine, un sanatorium qui avait été construit pour exploiter le climat qui est doux. Fondé par Arthur Hill Hassall, conçu par l'architecte local Thomas Hellyer et ouvert en 1869 en tant qu'hôpital national, il offrait 130 chambres pour ses patients. L'hôpital a été fermé en 1964, rendu obsolète par le traitement médicamenteux de la tuberculose. Il a été démoli en 1969. En 1970, le site fut initialement réaménagé en jardin de plaisance pour le village de Steephill, avant l'implication de Sir Harold Hillier dans son développement qui l'a élevé au rang de jardin botanique. Malgré le temps généralement doux, les plantes ont dû être soigneusement sélectionnées pour tenir compte des sols alcalins peu profonds et des vents salés. Le jardin a subi de sérieux dommages lors de l'hiver exceptionnellement difficile de juillet 1986, la grande tempête de 1987 et une autre tempête majeure en janvier 1990. Une grande serre a été construite en 1986 et ouverte en 1987. Des plantes tropicales y sont cultivées. Une piscine contenant 22 m3 d'eau chaude expose le Nénuphar géant en été et des fleurs de lotus bleu égyptien. Le jardin a été géré par le Conseil de l'Ile de Wight jusqu'en 2012, date à laquelle il a été transféré au Ventnor Botanic Garden CIC. Les frais de stationnement ont été remplacés par un droit d'entrée. Le conservateur du jardin de 1986 à 2011 était Simon Goodenough, Chris Kidd lui a succédé. Accès Le jardin est situé le long de l'A3055 et des bus sur la route 6 de Vectis Sud s'y arrêtent. Des promenades pittoresques partent de la ville voisine de Ventnor.

Maidenhead Town Hall

Maidenhead Town Hall is a municipal building in St Ives Road, Maidenhead, Berkshire, England. History A medieval guildhall was constructed in the High Street around 1430 and replaced by a larger guildhall, designed by Theodosius Keene in the Italianate style, in 1777. In the late 1950s, Maidenhead Borough Council decided to demolish the aging 18th-century guildhall and replace it with a modern facility. The site selected for the new building had previously been occupied by a 16th-century mansion known as St Ives Place. King Henry VIII granted St Ives Place to Anne of Cleves for life as part of his divorce settlement with her in 1541. In the 18th century, it had become the home of Peniston Powney, the MP for Berkshire and by the early 1920s it was owned by another politician, Lord Desborough. The new building, which was designed by North & Partners and Sir Hubert Worthington in the Neo-Georgian style, was officially opened by the Queen, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, in June 1962. The Desborough Suite, which was created to offer conferencing and theatre facilities, was named in honour of the former owner of St Ives Place. It was the meeting place of Maidenhead Borough Council until 1974 when it became the headquarters of the enlarged Windsor and Maidenhead Borough Council. The town hall was extensively refurbished, to a design by McBains Cooper, at a cost of £1.6 million, in 2014, and proposals for the refurbishment of the Desborough Suite, at a cost of £2 million, were approved in 2019. In popular culture The building was used as a location for several of the Carry On series of films starting with Carry On Doctor in 1967. References
The Jurors

The Jurors is an artwork by Hew Locke, installed at Runnymede in Surrey in 2015 to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the sealing of Magna Carta. Commissioned in 2014 by Surrey County Council and the National Trust, it comprises 12 high-backed bronze chairs placed in a grassy meadow, arranged in a rectangular formation to face inwards as if around a table, with one chair at each end and five along each side. Each chair measures 123 cm × 61 cm × 57 cm (48 in × 24 in × 22 in), and the installation covers an area of 4 m × 19 m (13 ft × 62 ft). The surfaces of each chair are decorated with images and symbols representing freedom, the rule of law, and human rights, clockwise from one end: [1] - detailed photos of chairs The decorations cast into the chairs also include garlands of flowers, as a reference to the Victorian language of flowers, including coltsfoot, black-eyed Susan and horse chestnut for aspects of justice, and hops for injustice; images of ermine as a reference to the traditional robes of English judges; and keys to prison cells, including a key to the Bastille which was given to George Washington by the Marquis de Lafayette in 1790. Locke deliberately avoided representing a "collection of heroes", and intended his 24 selected scenes to provoke reflection and debate. Locke considers that the artwork is only completed when each chair is occupied by people discussing the issues depicted. It was dedicated on 15 June 2015, at a ceremony attended by Prince William, Duke of Cambridge. The ceremony included a dramatised performance of the poem "Or In Any Other Way" by Owen Sheers, in which twelve actors emerged from the crowds to recite a stanza each, and then took a place on one of the chairs.
