Preston Guild Hall

Preston Guild Hall is an entertainment venue in Preston, Lancashire, England, which opened in 1973. History The Guild Hall was commissioned to replace the town's Public Hall. The new building, which was designed by Robert Matthew, Johnson Marshall, was due to be ready for the Preston Guild of 1972, but after construction was delayed, it only officially opened in 1973. The complex has two performance venues, the Grand Hall which holds 2,034 people and the Charter Theatre which holds 780 people. There is direct pedestrian access, via footbridge, from the adjacent Preston bus station and car park. Artists that have performed at the venue include Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Libor Pešek and Vasily Petrenko. Led Zeppelin and David Bowie both performed at the venue in 1973 and The Smiths in 1986 among others. Bing Crosby gave one of his last concerts at the Guild Hall in September 1977, less than a month before his death. It also hosted the UK Snooker Championship for the years 1978 to 1997. In 2013, Preston City Council considered demolishing the venue due to high running costs, but instead sold it in 2014 to local businessman Simon Rigby for an undisclosed sum, later revealed to be £1. In return Rigby promised to spend £1m in renovations. Ongoing financial problems saw Rigby close the venue in May 2019 and he was forced to place the business into administration. Preston City Council, one of the company's creditors, subsequently reclaimed possession of the building, citing "significant breaches" in the lease agreement and the "unacceptable behaviour" of Rigby's attempt to transfer ownership to a charity of which he was a trustee. The building was due to host the Business Expo in April 2020 but this event had to be cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Guild Hall was set to reopen in November 2023 but this was delayed until March 2024 due to concerns over the use of aerated concrete on the site. References
Queen Elizabeth's Almshouses, Richmond

Queen Elizabeth's Almhouses are almshouses in Richmond, London, founded by Sir George Wright in 1600 (during the reign of Elizabeth I) to house eight poor aged women. Known originally as the "lower almshouses", they were built in Petersham Road, a few hundred yards south of what is now Bridge Street. By 1767, they were almost derelict. In 1767, William Turner rebuilt the almshouses on land at the top end of his estate in The Vineyard. Funds for the rebuilding were raised by public subscription. The almshouses were rebuilt again in 1857. They were damaged during World War II and replaced with four newly built houses in 1955. Current status The almshouses are now managed by The Richmond Charities. New residents are accepted from 65 years of age.

Quenby Hall

Quenby Hall is a Jacobean house in parkland near the villages of Cold Newton and Hungarton, Leicestershire, England. It is described by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner as "the most important early-seventeenth century house in the county of Leicestershire". The Hall is Grade I listed, and the park and gardens Grade II, by English Heritage. Location Quenby Hall is just south of Hungarton, about 7 miles (11.3 km) east of the centre of Leicester and is best reached from the A47 road by taking the turn towards Hungarton at the village of Billesdon. Descent of the manor Ashby family The Ashby family acquired an estate in Quenby in the 13th century. By 1563 they had acquired the whole Manor, and soon afterwards moved to enclose and depopulate it. Quenby Hall was built between 1618 and 1636 by George Ashby (1598–1653), High Sheriff of Leicestershire for 1627. The village of Quenby was held by the Ashby family from the 13th century and remains of the village are in the present park. The village population was at least 25 in 1377 based on poll tax data. There may have been a house on the site before building of the current house which began in 1618. A clock on the west front is dated 1620. Building finished in 1636. The house is 'H-shaped' and on a hillside location. It has three storeys and a very shallow pitched roof. George Ashby was succeeded by his son, also George, who married the daughter of Euseby Shuckburgh of Naseby, Northamptonshire. Their son George, MP for Leicestershire, was known as 'Honest George Ashby the Planter' because of the large number of trees he planted at Quenby. He died in 1728, and in the mid-18th century Quenby Hall passed to his great-nephew Shukburgh Ashby (died 1792), MP for Leicester and Fellow of the Royal Society. Quenby Hall remained in the Ashby family until 1904. Mrs Greaves The house was bought in 1904 and restored by Rosamund Greaves (née Lloyd), then remarried with Lord Henry Grosvenor, who restored much of the Jacobean interior. Her son sold Quenby Hall in 1924 to Sir Harold Nutting, "newly rich from bottling Guinness", who at the end of the decade commenced his notable mastership of the Quorn Hunt. de Lisle The de Lisles then bought Quenby Hall in 1972. They made extensive restorations at Quenby, which was eventually turned into a cheese-making business on the estate in 2005, in order to bypass planning regulations banning the family from inhabiting the home full time. The business failed in July 2011 with debts of £250,000 caused by over-expansion. The business had then a turnover of about £1.8m and employed about 40 staff. In April 2011 administrators were brought in to find a buyer but none was forthcoming, perhaps due to problems with the export market caused by a recent incident of listeria in the Quenby product. In late 2013 the family put up Quenby Hall for sale for £11.6 million. Stilton cheese After a break of 250 years, production began again in 2005 but the business ended in 2011. Film location Part of the British film A Cock and Bull Story (2006) was made at the Hall. References
Rampside Hall

Rampside Hall is a Grade I listed building in the Rampside area of Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England. It is one of only three Grade I listed buildings in the Borough outside of the Furness Abbey complex and dates back to the 17th century. Built for the Knype family, it is most noted for its dozen chimneys which have given the building the nickname 'the twelve apostles'. Rampside Hall retains the majority of its original features, with the only major alteration taking place in 1810 when the building was re-roofed. The building was heavily damaged on 15 February 1865 when a 2.2ML earthquake shook the area, toppling three of its famed chimneys, cracking walls and displacing some of them by eight inches. There is evidence of a house on the Rampside Hall site since 1634, however the precise date of construction for the present building is thought to be in the late 17th century. Rampside Hall is three storeys in height excluding the attic, and is of a 5 bay, double-depth plan. Some important original features noted by Historic England include a well in the building's cellar as well as a large staircase rising through all three floors, with oak balustrades and handrails.

Rampside Hall

Rampside Hall est un bâtiment classé Grade I situé dans le quartier Rampside de Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, Angleterre. Histoire C'est l'un des trois seuls bâtiments classés Grade I de l'arrondissement en dehors du complexe de l'abbaye de Furness et remonte au XVIIe siècle. Construit pour la famille Knype, il est surtout connu pour sa douzaine de cheminées qui lui ont valu le surnom de "les douze apôtres". Rampside Hall conserve la majorité de ses caractéristiques d'origine, la seule modification majeure ayant eu lieu en 1810 lorsque le toit du bâtiment est refait. Le bâtiment est gravement endommagé le 15 février 1865 lorsqu'un tremblement de terre qui secoue la région, renversant trois de ses célèbres cheminées, fissurant les murs et déplaçant certaines d'entre elles de huit pouces. Il existe des preuves de l'existence d'une maison sur le site de Rampside Hall depuis 1634, mais la date précise de construction du bâtiment actuel serait à la fin du XVIIe siècle. Il subsistent certaines caractéristiques originales importantes notées par Historic England comme un puits dans la cave du bâtiment ainsi qu'un grand escalier traversant les trois étages, avec des balustrades et des mains courantes en chêne.

Red House Academy

Red House Academy (RHA, formerly Hylton Red House School) is an 11–16 mixed secondary school with academy status in Hylton Red House, Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England. It was formerly a community school and adopted its present name after becoming an academy in 2009. It is part of the Northern Education Trust. Controversy Hylton Red House School In 2007, the school attracted controversy regarding a training programme for call centre operators. The programme was set up in conjunction with EDF Energy which has a call centre in the area. For pupils, successful completion of the course provided half of the credit of a GCSE examination. Local adults were also able to participate. The assistant headteacher, Helen Elderkin, claimed the programme was successful, providing students with "a taste of a real working environment" and helping to build their confidence. However, Howard Brown, Sunderland secretary of the National Union of Teachers, criticized it as "a step too far". Academy Serious question were raised about the school's approach to its pupils when it was revealed that they suspended over 50% of their pupils in 2017–2018 against a national average of 2.3%.

Redfern Building

The Redfern Building is a Grade II listed structure on Redfern Street in Manchester, England. It also fronts Dantzic Street and Mayes Street, overlooking Sadler's Yard and standing adjacent to the Grade II listed New Century House. Designed by W. A. Johnson and completed in 1937, Redfern was originally constructed for office and warehouse use for the Co-operative Wholesale Society. The building is currently occupied by the National Probation Service and also accommodates commercial office space managed as part of the NOMA estate. History Redfern was built for the Co-operative Wholesale Society and is now part of the Co-operative Estate in Manchester which includes a number of listed 20th-century buildings such as the CIS Tower and Hanover Building. On 6 June 1994, Refern was designated as a Grade II listed building. From April 2017 until November 2018, Redfern housed PLANT, an open design studio and workshop for Manchester. The building was comprehensively refurbished during 2018–2019 by Sheppard Robson architects. In 2020 it was announced that Redfern would become the flagship office for the Ministry of Justice's National Probation Service, under a 10-year lease. Design The seven-storey building has a flat roof and is built of pale brown brick. A prominent service tower rises on its north side. The building shows affinities with the 1930s Art Deco movement and is inspired by Dutch Brick modernism, according to Nikolaus Pevsner. Redfern was designed by W. A. Johnson. In Pevsner (2001), architecture critic Clare Hartwell observed that "it is a pity that this [building] does not enjoy a better site - its impact is partly lost due to its towering neighbours and its relationship with the adjoining Holyoake House."

Renold Building

The Renold Building is a university building in Manchester, England. It was opened on 23 November 1962 for the Manchester College of Science and Technology (later UMIST) as part of a major expansion of its campus in the 1960s. The architect was W. A. Gibbon of the firm Cruickshank and Seward. The foundation stone was laid on 24 June 1960 by Sir Charles Renold J.P. LL.D (1883–1967), vice president of the college, and chairman of the planning and development committee, after whom it was named. The main contractor was J. Gerrard & Sons Ltd of Swinton. Overview The building, which is made of concrete, consists of a two-storey base supporting a six-storey tower. There is a large glass-sided stair tower on the side. Inside is an entrance hall on two levels with a large mural titled Metamorphosis, by Victor Pasmore. The Renold Building contains a number of lecture halls of differing sizes, including a 500-seat theatre, two 300-seat theatres, and five 140-seat theatres. According to Pevsner's Architectural Guide, "The idea was to provide a central facility for rooms that would otherwise have been dispersed amongst separate departmental buildings. This was a new initiative in British academic planning at that time." The building also contains seminar rooms and exhibition spaces. It overlooks a green space in the centre of what was the UMIST Campus which was originally a bowling green. For this reason a bar in the Renold Building was named the Bowling Green Tavern. The building no longer has a bar, but instead has a cafe named Enigma. Although the building has attracted some criticism, in January 2008 it narrowly missed out on being awarded listed status. In January 2021, The Guardian listed the Renold Building as one of Britain's Brutalist buildings most at risk of demolition and development. It was included in Brutal North: Post-War Modernist Architecture in the North of England, Simon Phipps's photographic study of Brutalist architecture. In July 2025, the Renold Building was designated a Grade II listed building.
