St Lawrence Jewry

St Lawrence Jewry, auch bekannt als St Lawrence Jewry next Guildhall, ist ein in der Nähe der Guildhall gelegenes anglikanisches Kirchengebäude im Londoner Innenstadtbezirk City of London. Geschichte Die in der Nähe des jüdischen Ghettos gelegene, seit 1280 dem Balliol College in Oxford gehörende Kirche geht auf das 12. Jahrhundert zurück. Die mittelalterliche Kirche, in der auch Thomas Morus predigte, wurde 1618 wiederhergestellt und mit neuen Glasfenstern versehen. 1666 ging sie beim Großen Brand von London zugrunde und wurde 1670 bis 1687 durch Christopher Wren neuerrichtet. Als einzige der Wren-Kirchen besitzt sie aus topographischen Gründen einen asymmetrischen Grundriss, indem einem einfachen Saalbau nordseitig ein Annex anfügt ist, verbunden durch eine vierfache Säulenstellung mit dem Hauptraum. Straßenseitig weist die Kirche eine aufwendige Fassadengestaltung mittels eines vorgeblendeten übergiebelten Portikus mit korinthischen Halbsäulen auf, wie ihn Wren in monumentaler Form am Greenwich Hospital verwendete. Die Kirche besitzt einen in den Bau integrierten, mit Obelisken besetzten und in einem Spitzhelm endenden Kirchturm. 1687 baute der englische Orgelbauer Renatus Harris eine Orgel. 1866 bis 1867 wurde die Kirche durch Arthur Blomfield restauriert und dabei die ursprüngliche Galerie im Seitenschiff entfernt. Die im Zweiten Weltkrieg 1941 stark beschädigte Kirche wurde 1954 bis 1957 wiederhergestellt. Literatur John Summerson: Architecture in Britain 1530 to 1830 (= Pelican History of Art 3).

St. Lawrence Jewry

St Lawrence Jewry es una parroquia de la Iglesia de Inglaterra en Gresham Street, Londres, cerca de Guildhall. Historia La iglesia fue construida originalmente en el siglo XII y dedicada a la San Lorenzo ("el instrumento de su martirio, la parrilla, todavía se puede ver en veleta de la iglesia actual.)​ La iglesia está cerca de la antigua judería medieval (gueto judío),​ el cual estaba centrado alrededor de la calle llamada Old Jewry (judería antigua).​ La iglesia fue destruida en el Gran Incendio de Londres​ y reconstruida por Christopher Wren entre 1670 y 1687. Sufriò gran daño durante el Blitz el 29 de diciembre de 1940,​ pero los bombardeos también destruyeron los edificios alrededor de la iglesia que ofrecían a los transeúntes una visión más amplia de la misma. Fue restaurada en 1957 por Cecil Brown de acuerdo al diseño original de Wren. Ya no es un iglesia parroquial, sino una iglesia gremial. Es la iglesia oficial de la Corporación de la Ciudad de Londres. Sir Thomas More predicó en la antigua iglesia.​ La iglesia fue el lugar de entierro del comerciante Francisco Levett, así como el sitio de la boda de su sobrina Ana Levett, hija de William Levett, Decano de Bristol y exdirector de Magdalen Hall, Oxford (el Hertford College actual).​ La iglesia fue descrita por Sir John Betjeman como "muy municipal, muy espléndida."​ Fue desgnad como un monumento protegido grado 1 el 4 de enero de 1950.​ Vicarios (lista incompleta) 1566-1570 William Palmer​ 1578-81 Samuel Perkins​ 1650-1656 Richard Vines fue ministro​ 1661-1662 Seth Ward​ 1662-1668 John Wilkins​ 1668-1683 Benjamin Whichcote​ 1686-1721 John Mapletoft​ 1898-1920 James Stephen Barrass​ Referencia y notas Bibliografía Enlaces externos Wikimedia Commons alberga una categoría multimedia sobre St. Lawrence Jewry.

Guildford Crown Court

Guildford Crown Court is a Crown Court venue which deals with criminal cases in Bedford Road, Guildford, England. History King Henry III designated Guildford as a location for the Surrey County Court and assizes in August 1257. A corn exchange and assizes hall, which became known as Tunsgate, was erected in the High Street in 1818. However, by 1860, it was found to be "grossly inadequate". The assizes then moved to the County Hall in North Street: that building, which had been commissioned as a mechanics' institute in 1845, was considerably altered and extended for public and judicial use to a design by Thomas Goodchild in 1862. It was badly damaged in a fire in 1963 and was subsequently demolished. As the number of court cases in Guildford grew, it became necessary to commission a modern courthouse. This issue was temporarily resolved when a new law courts building (now referred to as Guildford Magistrates' and County Court) was opened in Mary Road in May 1976. However, what the borough still needed was a courthouse with dedicated facilities for Crown Court hearings, which require courtrooms suitable for trial by jury. The site selected by the Lord Chancellor's Department, on the west side of Bedford Road, had been occupied by a cricket ground and a gas works. The new building was designed by the Property Services Agency in the Modernist style, built in red brick at a cost of £4.7 million, and was completed in 1986. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of 23 bays facing onto Bedford Road. The central section of three bays featured a short flight of steps leading up to an opening with two glass doors. Above the opening, there was a pitched roof surmounted by a triangular pediment bearing a Royal coat of arms. The whole structure, including the wings of ten bays each, was single storey and fronted by a prominent colonnade, formed by square columns supporting an entablature. Internally, the building was laid out to accommodate four courtrooms. Notable cases have included the trial and conviction of Sally Challen, in June 2011, for the murder of her husband, Richard Challen; her plea to have the conviction reduced to manslaughter was accepted by a judge at the Old Bailey in June 2019.

Old King Edward's School

Old King Edward's School is a former school building in Bath, Somerset, England. Standing on Broad Street, near its junction with Saracen Street, the building was built in 1752, the work of Thomas Jelly. It is now a Grade II* listed building, having been added in 1950. It was King Edward's School from 1752 to 1990, after the school moved from the nave of the disused Church of St Mary's Northgate, where it had been for almost 200 years. In 1990, after just under 250 years, the junior school followed the secondary school's relocation to a new site on North Road at the southeastern edge of the city around 25 years earlier. In 1997, an application to turn the building into a public house by Samuel Smith Old Brewery was refused, although it still owns the property. A scheme for use as a hotel has also been withdrawn. The building remains on the Heritage at Risk Register. Proposals to use it as a temporary shelter for the homeless were rejected in 2018 by the brewery, claiming that work would be "commencing very soon". As of 2025, it remains vacant and increasingly derelict, one of the most shocking examples of deliberate corporate neglect of a historic and architecturally significant building. Architecture The building, which stands on the former site of the Black Swann Inn, is two storeys with four dormers and five sash windows. It has a central pediment with a coat of arms and a central doorway with a pediment on Ionic half columns. References External links "As It Was in the Beginning" – Issuu
Swindon Law Courts

Swindon Law Courts, also known as Swindon Combined Court Centre, is a Crown Court venue which deals with criminal cases, as well as a County Court venue, which deals with civil cases, in Islington Street, Swindon, England. History For much of the 19th century, petty session hearings in Swindon were held in the Goddard Arms on the High Street, then, after it opened in the mid-1850s, in the Old Town Hall, and then, after it opened in 1891, in the New Town Hall. The lack of dedicated judicial facilities was temporarily resolved when the new Courts of Justice (now referred to as Swindon Magistrates' Court), designed by the borough architect, were opened in Princes Street on 21 April 1965. However, as the number of court cases in Swindon grew, it became necessary to commission dedicated facilities for both Crown Court hearings, which require courtrooms suitable for trial by jury, and for County Court hearings. The site selected, on the west side of Islington Street, had previously been occupied by a row of terraced houses. The new building was designed by the Property Services Agency in the Modernist style, built in red brick at a cost of £2.4 million, and was opened in 1985. The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage at the corner of Islington Street and Gordon Gardens. The corner of the building was recessed to create pedestrian access to the building and space for a flower bed and trees, and involved a section which was canted across the central part of the recess. There was a blind wall in the central bay to which a Royal coat of arms was fixed. The bays on either side of the central bay were glazed at ground floor level, with the glazed bay to the right forming the main entrance. The building was fenestrated by two square casement windows to the right of the entrance and by four square casement windows on the first floor. Internally, the building was laid out to accommodate seven courtrooms. Notable cases have included the trial and conviction of Damien Bendall, in June 2021, for arson, for which he received a suspended sentence. He went on to murder his partner, Terri Harris, and her three children, using a claw hammer. References External links Court information
Waterside Bridge

The Waterside Bridge is a pedestrian and cycle bridge over the River Trent in Nottingham, England. It is the first bridge to be built over the river in the city since Clifton Bridge in 1958, although a road-crossing was created from the nearby defunct Lady Bay rail bridge in 1979. The main span was lifted across the river on 10 November 2025; the bridge officially opened to the public on 2 June 2026. Location The bridge crosses the river 450 metres (500 yd) downstream of Lady Bay Bridge, connecting Trent Fields in West Bridgford on the south bank, with Trent Basin in the City of Nottingham on the north bank. The site was chosen to connect to cycling infrastructure on both sides of the river. On the north bank, the bridge connects with the riverside cycleway to Colwick Country Park, and also allows access to Nottingham City's Eastern Cycle Corridor. To the south, the riverside path carries National Cycle Route 15, and gives traffic-free access to the Holme Pierrepont National Watersports Centre; The Hook local nature reserve; Nottingham Forest's City Ground; County Hall and the West Bridgford Embankment. Design The bridge is a network arch bridge, 20 metres high from the deck to the peak, and 85 metres in length. On the north bank, the bridge lands to the west of the entrance to Trent Basin. The design includes a pedestrian walkway over the mouth of Trent Basin to give access to Waterside Bridge from the east. History The bridge was originally planned to open in 2023, but the project experienced several delays. In 2023, funding had been secured and a contractor appointed to undertake detailed design and construction. At that time, a planning application was expected in 2023, construction to start in 2024, and the bridge to open in 2025. In February 2025, the £12.6 million delivery contract was signed for building the bridge, with preliminary work due to start that month. By April 2025, preparatory works had started on both banks of the river. In June 2025, the main span of the bridge was being pre-fabricated in Hucknall, and by August, the bridge was transported in sections to a specialist facility for painting, and then later delivered to site for final assembly. The bridge would then be installed over River Trent on 10 November 2025. The bridge was formally opened to the public on 2 June 2026.

Bath Pavilion

The Pavilion (also known as Bath Pavilion) is a multi-purpose venue in Bath, England. Originally opened as a skating rink, it later became a music hall and wedding venue. History In September 1910, the building opened as the Somerset County Skating Rink on North Parade Road. It was built on land that was part of the Bathwick Estate. During World War I, the building was used for the assembly of airplane parts. After an unsuccessful attempt to sell the Bathwick Estate in 1921, the Recreation Ground was purchased by leaseholders, and the skating rink remained occupied by "Aircraft Limited" until 1930. The building was purchased by the local City Council. It was renamed the Pavilion and reopened as a music concert hall in November 1930. In the 1960s, the Pavilion hosted some of the biggest names in rock and roll such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the building was used as a NHS vaccination site in 2022. Notable performers Notable musical acts that performed at the Pavilion include: The Beatles The Rolling Stones The Troggs Ike & Tina Turner The Jimi Hendrix Experience The Kinks Pink Floyd Small Faces Led Zeppelin The Who Art Garfunkel Oasis Stereophonics Coldplay Franz Ferdinand The Doves The Coral Lily Allen References
Meads Reach Bridge

Meads Reach Bridge is a footbridge in Bristol, England. History The bridge cost £2.4 million and was opened in 2008. In 2009, it received an award from the Royal Institute of British Architects. The surface of the bridge deck was criticised for being slippery and thus potentially dangerous to cycle across. In 2015, the surface was sprayed with an anti-slip coating. In October 2017, the bridge was closed after a vehicle was driven onto it. Following repairs, it reopened in May 2019. Design The bridge has a mass of 75 tonnes and a span of 55 metres (180 ft). The steel structure is covered in holes which has led to the bridge being nicknamed cheese grater. References

Sand Moor Golf Club

Sand Moor Golf Club is a golf club located in Alwoodley, North Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It was founded in 1925. The 18-hole golf course was designed by Alister MacKenzie. Sand Moor is regarded as one of the best courses in Yorkshire, and has hosted many important professional and elite amateur tournaments, including the Yorkshire Evening News Tournament (9 times between 1931 and 1963) and the Leeds Cup (1946). History In 1921, Henry Barran began construction of a golf course designed by Alister MacKenzie either side of Alwoodley Lane; it was opened to the public in July 1922. In 1925, Sand Moor Golf Club was formed and, with the club agreeing to lease the course from Barran, the intention to make the course private was announced. The club officially opened in March 1926; the event was commemorated with an exhibition match involving George Duncan, George Gadd, Arthur Havers and Abe Mitchell. In the 1960s, Sand Moor purchased additional land and the club relocated entirely to the North of Alwoodley Lane, with the course being altered under the guidance of Henry Cotton. Further land was leased in 1971, and four new holes were constructed. References External links Official website
Moot Hall, Newark-on-Trent

The Moot Hall is a municipal building in the Market Place in Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire, England. The building, which was the main municipal building in the town in the 18th century, currently accommodates a Starbucks coffee shop. History The first municipal building in the town was a medieval building on the north side of the Market Place known as the "King's Hall", so named because of a transaction in 1547 when the Bishop of Lincoln exchanged ownership of the town with the Crown. In the early 18th century, civic leaders decided to erect a new building on the same site. It was designed in the neoclassical style, built in red brick and was completed in 1708. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of seven bays facing onto the Market Place. There was a colonnade on the ground floor formed by six Doric order columns which supported the upper floors: this allowed markets to be held on the ground floor. The building was fenestrated by sash windows on the first and second floors and there were three dormer windows at attic level. The coat of arms of the then lord of the manor, John Holles, Duke of Newcastle, whose seat was at Clumber Park, was affixed to the building at second floor level. The building continued to serve as the meeting place for the borough officials and the venue for hearings of the manorial court as well as the quarter sessions until Newark Town Hall was completed in 1776. In the late 18th century, the building, which was still known as the "King's Hall", was described as "an extensive brick-built dwelling-house and large shop, heretofore occupied by Messrs. Fisher and Fillingham." It was bought by Henry Pelham-Clinton, 4th Duke of Newcastle in 1836 and subsequently continued to be used as shops. In 1924, it was acquired by a radio and music shop, A. F. Coyne, and in 1963, after Coynes went into liquidation, it was bought by the electrical retailer, Currys. By that time the building was at risk of collapse, and under the management of Currys, it was completely dismantled and rebuilt around a modern steel frame, to a design by Robert Ingram, in the mid-1960s. In the early 21st century, the building changed hands again, becoming a branch of the coffee shop, Starbucks. References
Norfolk Square

Norfolk Square is a rectangular garden square in Paddington in Central London. Located in the City of Westminster, it is part of the Tyburnia district north of Hyde Park. It runs east to west from London Street to Norfolk Place. Praed Street and Sussex Gardens are directly parallel to it north and south respectively. The street was developed on the site of a former waterworks of the Grand Union Canal. It was one of three located close to what became Paddington Station, another of them becoming Talbot Square. It was developed in the early Victorian era, and along with Talbot Square became a residential location for the wealthy. At the eastern end was All Saints' Church, built in 1847, but later demolished and replaced with the more modern Edna House apartments. At the western end of the square, across London Street, is the Sawyer's Arms pub. Numbers 2-22, terraces of 1840s stuccoed housing, are now Grade II listed as are the slightly later numbers 24–42.

De La Warr Pavilion

De La Warr Pavilion je budova ve městě Bexhill-on-Sea v Jihovýchodní Anglii. Od roku 1986 je zapsána na seznamu listed building (první stupeň). Postavena byla v roce 1935 (od ledna do prosince) podle návrhu architektů Ericha Mendelsohna a Serge Chermayeffa na základě architektonické soutěže vyhlášené Herbrandem Sackvillem, 9. hrabětem De la Warr. Během druhé světové války byla budova užívána armádou. V roce 2004 začala díky grantu rekonstrukce budovy, která skončila po osmnácti měsících v roce 2005. V té době se z ní stalo umělecké centrum. Kromě výstav se zde konají také koncerty, vystupovali zde například Patti Smith, Richard Thompson či John Cale.
