Alfred's Castle

Alfred's Castle is a small Iron Age hill fort, situated at grid reference SU277822, behind Ashdown Park in the civil parish of Ashbury in Oxfordshire (formerly Berkshire). It lies 2–3 km south of the Ridgeway and is protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument. It has a large enclosure attached that shows as a cropmark. Excavation has shown this to be contemporary with the small enclosure, started in the 6th century BC. The hill fort was established within a series of late Bronze Age linear ditches and revealed much evidence for occupation within it. In the late 1st century, a Romano-British farmhouse was built within the abandoned prehistoric enclosure. King Alfred won a great victory against the Danes at the Battle of Ashdown, in AD 871. Being located just to the west of Ashdown House, Victorian antiquaries associated Alfred's Castle with the King's troop movements before the battle. The exact site of Alfred's battle has not yet been determined, however, so is a matter for debate. The most likely sites are near Compton and Aldworth in Berkshire. Excavations were carried out at Alfred's Castle from 1998 to 2000 by archaeologists from Oxford University. A final analysis was published in 2014.

Alfred Denny Building

The Alfred Denny Building is a 7-storey red brick building in Sheffield, England named after the first Professor of Zoology at the department. It is part of the Western Bank Campus of the University of Sheffield, linked to Firth Court via the Addison Building. Contents The building itself houses the University of Sheffield's Departments of Biomedical Science and Animal & Plant Science including its associated museum. It also houses the Perak Laboratories, used by students reading degrees from Medicine to Bioengineering, a computer centre, several lecture theatres and the Hillsborough Centre, for disabled and dyslexic students. Axordia, a university spinout company dealing with human embryonic stem cells (hESC), also works out of the building although their offices are in the Sheffield Bioincubator. History Originally planned as the Administrative Building, but later revised to be the Biology Building, it was part of major redevelopment of the site from 1957, and building commenced in 1965. However the announcement that the University Grants Committee would provide no further funds from 1966 delayed this and other projects. It was completed in stages in 1971, using the same red bricks as the 1905 buildings close by. Alfred Denny was a professor at Firth College who became the first professor of biology of the university in 1905, when he started a museum of biology in Firth Court. This grew and was named the Alfred Denny Museum in 1950. It was later relocated to the new Biology Building and in 1990 the building was renamed the Alfred Denny Building. In Praise of Air From May 2014 to January 2016 the south wall was used to display a poem "In Praise of Air" by Simon Armitage, on a specially treated cloth which it is claimed destroyed certain pollutants by catalytic oxidation. It was estimated that two tons had been removed from the air in this way. See also Firth Court Western Bank Campus References External links University of Sheffield
Alfred Dock

Alfred Dock is a dock at Wallasey, Merseyside, England. The dock covers an area of 8 acres (32,000 m2) and provides access to the Great Float from the River Mersey. History In 1856, J. B. Hartley produced plans for alternative river access to the Great Float, as the Great Low Water Basin proved to be insufficient. Completed in 1866, the dock was named after Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, second son of Queen Victoria, and opened by him on 21 June 1866. Designed to replace the Great Low Water Basin, the dock was originally constructed with three lock entrances from the river of 30 ft (9.1 m), 50 ft (15 m) and 100 ft (30 m), and three passages onwards to the Great Float. This provided much expanded access to the Birkenhead dock system, which was also served by an entrance channel further south via Morpeth Dock. In order to accommodate larger vessels, the 30 ft (9.1 m) and 50 ft (15 m) lock entrances and passages were combined into an 80 ft (24 m) system and deepened, between 1926-9. This meant the removal of a river lock entrance and an access channel to the Great Float, in order to reconstruct the remaining facilities. At the same time, a bascule bridge and a swing bridge were constructed over two remaining passages. The dock was arranged so that the whole dock could be used as a lock. By the beginning of the 1980s, the remaining southern lock entrance had closed and was partly filled in. The redevelopment of Tower Road over a decade later precipitated in the removal of the swing bridge and the sealing up of the southern passage. The north quayside of Alfred Dock was an open quay. The southern quayside was unallocated. Present Of the existing two river entrances, only the north locks remain operational. Tower Road, which links Birkenhead with the Seacombe area of Wallasey, divides Alfred Dock from the Great Float via a bascule bridge. This bridge is the last remaining of the former Four Bridges which crossed the dock system at this point. References Sources Collard, Ian (2001). Mersey Ports, Liverpool and Birkenhead.

Ноттінгемський університет

Ноттінгемський університет (англ. University of Nottingham) — університет в місті Ноттінгем, Велика Британія. Був заснований під назвою Ноттінгемський університетський коледж у 1888 році, а в 1948 році отримав королівську хартію. Головний кампус університету та клінічний шпиталь знаходяться в місті Ноттінгем. Окрім Великої Британії, університет має кампуси в Малайзії та Китаї. Ноттінгемський університет є членом Асоціації університетів країн Співдружності, Асоціації університетів Європи, групи «Расселл», університетів Сполученого Королівства, Universitas 21, а також бере участь у літній школі Саттон Траст. Історія Заснування Історія університету бере початок із заснування школи освіти дорослих у 1798 році. У 1873 році Кембриджський університет почав читати університетські курси при цій школі — уперше в країні. Однак відправною точкою заснування університету традиційно вважається створення Ноттінгемського університетського коледжу в 1881 році для підготовки студентів до вступу до Лондонського університету. У 1875 році анонімний дарувальник пожертвував 10 000 £ на те, щоб школа для дорослих і університетські курси, які проводилися на базі цієї школи, функціонували постійно. Ноттінгемська Корпорація погодилася побудувати для цього будівлю й виділити кошти на проведення занять. У 1877 році колишній прем'єр-міністр Вільям Гладстон заклав перший камінь фундаменту, а в 1881 році будівлю коледжу в неоготичному стилі на Шекспір-стріт урочисто відкрив Леопольд, герцог Олбані. У 1881 році там викладали всього чотири професори — літератури, фізики, хімії і природничих наук. Згодом відкрилися нові факультети та кафедри: інженерних наук у 1884 році, класичних досліджень і філософії у 1893 році, французької мови в 1897 році та педагогіки в 1905 році; того ж року розділили факультет фізики та математики на два окремих. У 1911 році створено факультети англійської мови та гірничої справи, в 1912 році економіки, а також геолого-географічний, у 1914 році історії, у 1923 році освіти дорослих, а в 1925 році фармацевтичний факультет. Розвиток У 1920-ті роки університетський коледж було значно розширено, і він переїхав із центру Ноттінгема в новий великий кампус у передмісті. Новий кампус, що він називається Університетський парк, було збудовано в 1928 році на кошти пожертвувань та завдяки щедрості сера Єссея Бута (пізніше лорд Трент), що він надав 14 га землі місту Ноттінгем у 1921 році.

All Hallows' Church, Tottenham

All Hallows is an Anglican church in Tottenham, North London. It is one of the oldest buildings in the London Borough of Haringey, having been built as All Saints' Church in the 12th century, then re-dedicated as All Hallows in the 15th century. It stands adjacent to Bruce Castle and Tottenham Cemetery. It is reputed to have been given to Tottenham by King David I of Scotland, strengthening its connection with the Bruce family who were owners of Bruce Castle. The church is part of the Diocese of London and its clergy have included William Bedwell (from 1607), the devotional writer Edward Sparke (1667–1693), and John Howard Churchill, later Dean of Carlisle. The church was restored between 1875 and 1877 by the architect William Butterfield. It has been painted many times, including by William Ellis, John Preston Neale, William Henry Prior, John Thomas Smith, Jean Baptiste Claude Chatelain and John Constable. The church tower houses eight bells, one of which was donated by Dr. Humphrey Jackson in 1801 and was originally said to have been taken from the Quebec garrison, but which has now been proved via extensive research in a variety of archives to be from the Cathedral in Quebec, taken in 1759. These make up the largest ring of bells in the borough. There are yew trees in the churchyard imported from Ireland more than 1000 years ago.

Церковь Всех Святых (Стена, Лондон)

Церковь Всех Святых у Стены (англ. All Hallows-on-the-Wall) — англиканская приходская церковь в районе Сити города Лондона (Великобритания); современное здание было построено по проекту архитектора Джорджа Дэнса-младшего в 1767 году. История и описание Церковь Всех Святых у Лондонской стены стоит на месте более ранней церкви, построенной приблизительно в начале XII века на бастионе древнеримской стены, окружавшей город. Храм прославился своими отшельниками, которые жили в кельях при церкви; он избежал разрушения во время Великого лондонского пожара в 1666 году — из-за своего положения под стеной — но впоследствии пришёл в запустение. Архитектор Джордж Дэнс-младший создал проект восстановления церкви Всех Святых в 1767 году, когда ему было всего 24 года. Дэнс, недавно вернувшийся из Италии, использовал идеи классической древнеримской архитектуры для простого по форме кирпичного здания. Во время Второй мировой войны, в ходе «Блитца» 1940 года, храм был поврежден; он был восстановлен в начале 1960-х годов. На протяжении более 600 лет ливрейная компания «Worshipful Company of Carpenters» ежегодно проводит в церкви свои выборы. До 1994 года в здании также располагался Совет по опеке над церквями. По состоянию на 2017 год, церковь являлась штаб-квартирой городской молодежной благотворительной организации XLP. Церковь продолжает и свои музыкальные традиции, еженедельно устраивая музыкальные мероприятия. 4 января 1950 года церковное здание было внесена в список памятников архитектуры первой степени под номером 1064632 (Grade I).
