Holbeck Working Men's Club

The Holbeck (formerly the Holbeck Working Men's Club or Holbeck WMC) in Leeds is one of the United Kingdom's oldest working men's clubs, and is thought to be the UK's oldest surviving working men's club. History The Club was originally founded in 1871 at '5 Ebenezer-place, Mint, Holbeck' in 1871. By 1876 it boasted 83 members, assets of £81, and receipts of £155. In 1877, the club moved to its present premises, whose address was then 'Low Moorside, Holbeck, Leeds' (now Jenkinson Lawn, Leeds LS11 9QX). By 1907, the club had 501 members, and funds of £1956. In 1913 it recorded 426 members, with funds of £1,758, rising in 1928 to 718 members and funds of £4,918. Among the people who frequented the Club in the post-war years was the local Labour politician Hugh Gaitskell, and the Club was 'one of the most important venues' for early performances by Ernie Wise alongside his father Harry. On 2 March 1959, the club voted to permit members' wives to become 'lady members', and elected its first female president, Caroline Turner, in 2021. The club has long hosted sports teams, including bowls, snooker, and football, winning the West Yorkshire Association Football League in 1989-90. It has also undertaken collections for charity. On 12 September 2019, a blue plaque was unveiled to celebrate the fact that The Holbeck is the longest continuously running working men's club in the UK. Decline and recovery In the early twenty-first century, the Club faced a downturn associated with the Great Recession, compounded by delays in replacing demolished housing around the Club. The Club's membership base was also affected by the rise of bars in Leeds city centre; destabilisation of traditional pub culture by the 2007 smoking ban in England; local demographic shifts to ethnic groups with less of a tradition of drinking in pubs; and a national shift towards drinking supermarket-bought alcohol at home. The same forces led to the closure of at least four nearby pubs, as well as Holbeck's library, sports centre, and many other amenities, and by April 2013, as the Holbeck WMC's debts rose, it was feared that it too would fail. However, local activists, putting in volunteer labour, succeeded in turning the Club around, partly by appealing to new audiences by providing space for community meetings and other events. By 2018 the volunteer-run club was thriving. Its recovery was cemented in that year when the Holbeck-based theatre company Slung Low moved all their operations from their premises under the arches of a nearby railway viaduct, which were threatened by rising prices, to the Holbeck, clearing the Club's debts. In April 2022, Slung Low announced that they would move their base to a new venue that year, handing management of The Holbeck back to its committee.

The Rifles Berkshire and Wiltshire Museum

The Rifles Berkshire and Wiltshire Museum is a military museum at The Close in Salisbury, England. It is housed in a Grade II* listed building known as The Wardrobe. History The building The original building on the site was constructed in 1254. It was rebuilt in the 15th century and was used to store the robes of the Bishop of Salisbury; hence it was known as the "Bishop's Wardrobe" or "The Wardrobe". The collection The museum combines the collections of the Royal Berkshire Regiment, which had a museum at Brock Barracks in Reading, and the Wiltshire Regiment, which had a museum at Le Marchant Barracks in Devizes. The trustees of the museum acquired "The Wardrobe" from the Dean and Chapter of Salisbury Cathedral in 1981 and the new museum was opened by the Duke of Edinburgh as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Royal Regiment Museum in July 1982. It was branded as "Redcoats in the Wardrobe" in 1991 and then became the Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Regiment (Salisbury) Museum in 1994 and the Rifles (Berkshire and Wiltshire) Museum in 2007. It now has extensive artefacts relating to both the Royal Berkshire Regiment and the Wiltshire Regiment. Refurbishment The museum reopened after an 18-month refurbishment in April 2026.

White Rose railway station

White Rose is a planned railway station between Cottingley and Morley railway stations on the Huddersfield Line. It was featured in the Government's plans for the railway in November 2017 and in July 2018 further details were revealed as part of the Connecting Leeds Vision with the consultation inviting opinions from the general public. It is anticipated by the developers that Cottingley railway station will close due to the proximity of the two stations. History The planned station will serve the White Rose Centre and the Millshaw Business Park, and its location would be 2,460 feet (750 m) south of Cottingley railway station. Leeds City Council are considering whether to retain Cottingley station or to close it when White Rose opens. Speculation about the closure of Cottingley railway station has only been from the community who have pointed out that the station attracts only 265 passengers a day on average. The station is to be financed from the £173.5 million Department for Transport money that was given to Leeds City Council but left without portfolio when the trolleybus scheme across Leeds was denied permission by Patrick McLoughlin. The funds needed to be used by the financial year 2020–2021. The station was approved by Leeds City Council in June 2020, with two platforms and a service pattern of two trains per hour in each direction. The developers stated that this will probably lead to the closure of the nearby Cottingley railway station, and whilst this was not initially confirmed by Northern, Leeds City Council or the Department for Transport, confirmation of the station closure came in October 2021. Planning permission was granted in Summer 2021, with the expectation that it could open for December 2022. Upon completion, each platform would be capable of accepting six carriage trains, with scope to expand the length to accommodate eight car trains. The scheme anticipates a footfall of 340,000 people per year. Construction delays Construction of the new station was expected to be completed in early 2024, with an estimated cost of £26.5 million. However, construction was halted in March 2024 due to increased costs. In August 2024, it was still unclear as to when construction would resume, though by November of the same year, it was announced that work would restart early in 2025, with a view to opening the station later that year, however, on 15th November 2025 construction was still in a "temporary pause". On 22 January 2026, additional funding of £1.4m was approved by West Yorkshire Combined Authority clearing the way for remobilising construction. Services The station is expected to be served by two trains per hour running between Leeds and Dewsbury/Huddersfield. References External links Station plans

Gisborough Hall

Gisborough Hall is a 19th-century mansion house, now a hotel, at Guisborough, Redcar and Cleveland, England. It is a Grade II listed building. The manor of Gisborough and the site of the dissolved Priory of Gisborough were acquired after the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Sir Thomas Chaloner in about 1558. He built a new manor house adjacent to the Priory ruins. His grandson was Sir William Chaloner, Bt. The manor house was demolished in the early 19th century when the family moved to Long Hull. In 1842 Admiral Thomas Chaloner inherited the estate and in 1856 created the present mansion house. The design of the hall is attributed to William Milford Teulon by Historic England, though his elder brother, Samuel Sanders Teulon is listed as the architect by the 1966 North Yorkshire edition of the Pevsner Architectural Guides. The house, in Jacobean style, presents a main south front of two stories and attics behind balustrades, with seven bays, the central and two end bays being canted and gabled. On his death without issue, the Admiral left the estate to his great-nephew Richard Godolphin Walmesley Long (younger brother of Viscount Long) who in 1888 changed his surname to Chaloner. He was created Baron Gisborough in 1917 and died at the Hall in 1938. The family lived in the Hall until the Second World War when it was requisitioned by the Army. After the war, it was leased to North Riding Council as a nursing home. In 1972 it became a non-residential banqueting house and restaurant. In 2002, it was refurbished and extended by the family and now operates as a privately owned four-star Country House Hotel and wedding and conference venue with 71 bedrooms, the award-winning Chaloner's restaurant, De Brus Bar & Grill. The hall is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England as is the former stable block and its adjoining screen wall and gate piers to the west of the hall. The North and South lodges of the hall are also Grade II listed, as are the entrance gates and boundary walls to the south of the south lodge.

Gisborough Hall

Gisborough Hall est un manoir du XIXe siècle, aujourd'hui un hôtel, à Guisborough, Redcar et Cleveland, en Angleterre. Il s'agit d'un bâtiment classé Grade II. Histoire Le manoir de Gisborough et le site du prieuré dissous de Gisborough sont acquis après la dissolution des monastères par Thomas Chaloner vers 1558. Il construit un nouveau manoir adjacent aux ruines du Prieuré. Le manoir est démoli au début du XIXe siècle lorsque la famille déménage à Long Hull. En 1842, l'amiral Thomas Chaloner hérite du domaine et crée en 1856 l'hôtel particulier actuel. La conception de la maison est attribuée à William Milford Teulon (en) par Historic England, bien que son frère aîné, Samuel Sanders Teulon soit répertorié comme architecte par l'édition 1966 du North Yorkshire des Pevsner Architectural Guides. La maison, de style jacobéen, présente une façade principale sud de deux étages et des combles derrière des balustrades, avec sept travées, la travée centrale et les deux travées d'extrémité étant à pans coupés et à pignon. À sa mort sans descendance, l'amiral lègue le domaine à son petit-neveu Richard Godolphin Walmesley Long (frère cadet du vicomte Long) qui en 1888 change son nom de famille en Chaloner. Il est créé baron Gisborough en 1917 et est mort au manoir en 1938. La famille habite la maison jusqu'à la Seconde Guerre mondiale quand elle est réquisitionnée par l'Armée. Après la guerre, elle est louée au North Riding Council comme maison de retraite. En 1972, elle devient une maison de banquet et un restaurant non résidentiels. En 2002, elle est rénovée et agrandie par la famille et fonctionne maintenant comme un hôtel de campagne quatre étoiles privé et un lieu de mariage et de conférence avec 71 chambres, le restaurant primé Chaloner's, De Brus Bar & Grill. La maison est classée Grade II sur la liste du patrimoine national de l'Angleterre, tout comme l'ancienne écurie et son mur-écran attenant et ses piliers de porte à l'ouest de la salle. Les loges nord et sud de la salle sont également classées Grade II, tout comme les portes d'entrée et les murs d'enceinte au sud de la loge sud.

Gisburne Park

Gisburne Park is an 18th-century country house and associated park in Gisburn, Lancashire, England, in the Ribble Valley some 6 miles (10 km) north-east of Clitheroe. The house is a Grade I listed building, and is now privately owned by Amber and Guy Hindley. The associated 1,000 acre park is Grade II listed, and is partly traditional agricultural estate and partly a holiday and wedding destination. History The Manor of Gisburne was first acquired by the Lister family in 1614 but the family only moved from Arnoldsbiggin to Lower Hall, Gisburne in 1706. The present hall was built between 1727 and 1736 by Thomas Lister with two storeys to an H-shaped floor plan, the south frontage having nine bays, the central three recessed, all pebbledashed with sandstone dressings and hipped slate roof. Lister was the Member of Parliament for Clitheroe from 1713 to his death in 1745. He was reputed to have planted over a million oak trees in this stretch of the Ribble Valley and in the surrounding parkland kept a herd of semi-wild white cattle which died out in 1859. The estate then passed from father to son through Thomas (1723–1761), also MP for Clitheroe from 1745 to 1761, to Thomas (1752-1826), MP for Clitheroe from 1773 to 1790 who in 1797 was created Baron Ribblesdale. He was followed in turn by Thomas, the second Baron Ribblesdale, then Thomas, the third Baron and finally Thomas Lister, 4th Baron Ribblesdale. On the fourth baron's death in 1925 part of the estate had to be sold to cover death duties. He had two sons, both of whom had been killed in action, one in the Boer War and the other in the first World War and he was survived only by his two sisters. On their deaths in 1944, the remaining estate was sold to the Hindley family, one of the founders of the British Home Stores. In October 1985, Gisburne Park house was converted and extended to become an independent private hospital and rehabilitation centre, with Christopher Hindley being its chairman and later its executive director. In 1995 the house and adjacent land was sold and became the BMI Gisburne Park Hospital. In June 2021, after 36 years, the private hospital closed its doors and Amber and Guy Hindley purchased the building and have plans to convert it into a hotel and wellness resort. The park The 1,000-acre parkland, owned since 2003 by Guy Hindley and his American actress wife Amber Mead, is home to Ribblesdale Holiday Park (developed around the old Deer House Farm and dairy). The Pennine Bridleway passes through the park, and at the south end of the park, the Ribble Valley line passes under the park in a cut-and-cover tunnel.

Gissing Hall

Gissing Hall is a listed fifteenth century mansion, situated in five acres of woodland and gardens in the village of Gissing in Norfolk, England. The hall is operated as a hotel and restaurant. The Gissing estate dates back to the 15th century when it was first owned by the Kemp family. The present Hall was mostly built in the 1820s by the Reverend Sir William Robert Kemp. He graduated from Cambridge in 1813 and in 1816 became the Rector of Gissing. He was then in the interesting position of being both Lord of the Manor and spiritual leader so decided to combine the rectory with his new residence thus creating the present Gissing Hall. Gissing Hall is a privately owned and run family home, as well as being open to the public. The hotel includes 22 en suite bedrooms for guests, as well as function rooms for weddings, private receptions and corporate events. There is also a restaurant for guests and locals from the surrounding area. In 2010, Gissing Hall was the subject of a Channel 4 television documentary presented by hotelier Ruth Watson as part of her Country House Rescue series. However, the episode featuring Gissing Hall was not broadcast until 2011. References External links Gissing Hall homepage
Clayhall

Clayhall is a district of Ilford in the London Borough of Redbridge in east London, England. It is a suburban development. The name is derived from an old manor house that stood within the current area. It is first mentioned in a document of 1203 as being an area of land granted to Adam and Matilda de la Claie by Richard de la Claie. The estate probably remained in the hands of this family for about one hundred years, after which it passed through several hands, without ever being positively identified by name, until in a conveyance of 1410 it is described as the manor of Clayhall. In the 17th century, Sir Christopher Hatton, cousin of the Lord Chancellor Sir Christopher Hatton, lived at the Manor House. His widow sold the manor to Sir John Wolstenholme. By the middle of the next century the estate was let to tenant farmers. The last tenants of the property were William Ingram, until his death in 1853, and then William, James and Frank Lamb, respectively father, son and grandson. The manor house itself was demolished, probably during the ownership of Peter Eaton, in the middle of the 18th century, and replaced by a farm house. The estate was broken up for building sites in 1935. Clayhall Park in Longwood Gardens is one of Ilford's largest open spaces and has a bowling green, two children's play areas and tennis courts. Clayhall also has a small community library, operated by Vision RCL and a part of Redbridge Libraries. Education Ilford County High School, Barkingside Beal High School, Caterham High School, Gilbert Colvin Primary School, Glade Primary School, King Solomon High School, Clore Tikva primary school and Parkhill Junior School. Transportation Despite its large population and area size, Clayhall has no direct London Underground or other rail link. The closest tube stations are Gants Hill, Barkingside, Fairlop, Hainault, Chigwell, South Woodford and Redbridge, which are all served by the Central line in a circumferential proximity of the district. The nearest railway station is Ilford, which is served by the Elizabeth line, (previously TfL Rail). The area does, however, have a few London Bus routes.
