Mulberry Place

Mulberry Place, formerly Tower Hamlets Town Hall, is a building in Nutmeg Lane, Blackwall, London. It was the headquarters of Tower Hamlets London Borough Council from 1992 to 2023, before their relocation to the new Tower Hamlets Town Hall in Whitechapel Road. History The London Borough of Tower Hamlets was formed in 1965 by the merger of the Metropolitan Boroughs of Bethnal Green, Poplar and Stepney. The new authority was initially based at Bethnal Green Town Hall. In the early 1990s, the council decided to move to a more modern building, on the site of the former East India Import Dock. The new Town Hall, completed in 1992 and occupied the following year, was built by the Nordic Construction Company, with Birse Construction the main contractor. The new building formed part of a larger development of four linked blocks, designed by Sten Samuelson and the Beaton Thomas Partnership in the Modernist style. The design made extensive use of reflective glazing and pink Sardinian granite. The name Mulberry Place commemorates the construction of Mulberry harbours in the dock during the Second World War, and reflects the sprig of mulberry included in the boroughs coat of arms in recognition of the East End's weaving heritage. The ship bell of the sloop HMS Crane is placed in the Town Hall foyer. The ship was adopted by the Borough of Bethnal Green during the Second World War and the connection with the ship and its crew has been maintained ever since. In February 2015 the council acquired the old Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel Road and announced plans to convert it for use as the new Tower Hamlets Town Hall to which the council would relocate when it became available. In 2018, the Mulberry Place building's owner LaSalle Investment, which charges £5 million per year in rent for Mulberry Place, announced that it would convert the building into flats after the council moved. The move to the new site was completed on 1 March 2023. References

Women's Pioneer Housing

Women's Pioneer Housing is a British housing association founded in 1920, the first dedicated to housing single women. History Women's Pioneer Housing was founded in 1920, to help provide housing for the new generation of single, professional women in London following the First World War. It was founded by Etheldred Browning a former Irish suffragist who had run the women’s section of the Garden City and Town Planning Association (GCTPA). Other founding members included Geraldine Lennox of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), Lady Rhondda, and Ray Strachey. Sydney Mary Bushell, a member of the executive committee of the GCTPA and hon sec of their women’s section, was also a founder. They incorporated Women's Pioneer Housing as a public utility company on 4 October 1920 ‘to cater for the housing requirements of professional and other women of moderate means who require individual homes at moderate rents’. They raised money to purchase its first property, 167 Holland Park Avenue, in 1921. Eleanor Shelley-Rolls was a significant investor, served on the Committee of Management between 1923-1930 and was President in 1931. Her wealth and social connections were important in WPH's fundraising drives. At the society's 1924 dinner, Mrs. C. S. Peel explained that the association "aimed at providing women workers with houses where there would be scope for individual tastes, and where they could live surrounded by their household gods". After weathering some financial problems in the 1920s the association was able to expand in the 1930s. By 1936 they had 36 properties, primarily in west London and one in Brighton, run on a co-operative basis. Investors included Bertha Newcombe. Skilled women contractors were central to the organisation's development, including the architect Gertrude Leverkus and the first woman chartered accountants, Ethel Watts and Miriam Homersham. Etheldred Browning ran the organisation until her retirement in 1938. Housing provision Women's Pioneer Housing is still active as a social housing provider for women, with offices at Wood Lane, White City, west London. The Chief Executive since 2022 is Tracey Downie, former Executive Director of Housing Management at Homes for Haringey. It is registered as a Co-operative & Community Benefit Society with the Financial Conduct Authority and as a Registered Social Landlord with the Homes and Communities Agency. It continues to house single women, mostly now nominated by local authorities. Plans for a new tower block at the organisation's base in Wood Lane were announced in 2019. After refused permission, the revised plans were eventually granted planning permission in November 2022. In May 2019, it explored a possible merger with Housing for Women but this was called off later that same year. The organisation's employees celebrated its centenary in 2020, with an exhibition Pioneering Courage: Housing and the Working Woman 1919 – 1939 based on three years of research into their history.

Y Bwthyn Bach

Y Bwthyn Bach (Welsh language for "The Little Cottage") is a royal wendy house standing close to Royal Lodge within Windsor Great Park in England since 1932. It was gifted to Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II) by the people of Wales and is now owned by King Charles III. History The two-thirds scale thatched cottage was a gift to Princess Elizabeth, (later Queen Elizabeth II, though not a likely heir to the throne at the time) for her sixth birthday from the people of Wales. The cottage was assembled in Wales, then taken to the grounds of Royal Lodge in Windsor. Designed by architect Edmund Willmott as a Welsh-cottage style playhouse, it is 24 feet (7.3 m) long, 8 feet (2.4 m) deep, with a ceiling height of 5 feet (1.5 m). Built from materials left over from the redevelopment of Llandough Hospital, it has four rooms: kitchen, living room, and upstairs a bedroom and a bathroom. Services include full running hot and cold water, electricity and a heated towel rail in the bathroom. The kitchen has a working fridge, gas cooker and a miniature blue and white porcelain dining and tea set. In the living room is a working miniature radio, a little oak dresser, a bookcase filled with Beatrix Potter's books, and a picture of Princess Elizabeth's mother, the Duchess of York hanging over the oak mantlepiece. On 17 February 1932, an insurance policy for the house was taken out in the name of Princess Elizabeth of York. As the house was being transported from its construction site in the Welsh Valleys to Drill Hall, Cardiff, the tarpaulin covering it caught fire, damaging the cottage. Quickly repaired under the insurance policy, the house was presented to Elizabeth's parents Prince Albert, Duke of York and his wife on their visit to Greyfriars Hall, Cardiff, on 16 March 1932. The keys were presented to the royal couple by school girl Jean Blake, daughter of plumber and engineer William Blake, who helped to construct the cottage, on behalf of the Princess Elizabeth Model House Committee. Initially put on public display at the Daily Mail-sponsored Ideal Home Exhibition at the Olympia exhibition centre, London, it was then sent on a tour of the UK to raise funds for children's hospital charities. Fully repaired, it was sited on its final location close to Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park; the princesses could to play in it from December 1933. Multiple generations have played in the playhouse as children, including Elizabeth and Margaret, Charles, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, and multiple "cousins and second cousins." In 2012, as part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, the playhouse was restored under a plan initiated and managed by Princess Beatrice, paid for by her father Prince Andrew, Duke of York. Restored with a pale green and cream colour scheme, the works included new curtains and upholstery, the paintwork was refreshed, the roof was re-thatched and the cottage rewired.

Уайт

Уайт (на английски: Isle of Wight; на латински: Vecta, Vectis insula) е остров, разположен в протока Ла Манш, на юг от Англия, на 145 km югозападно от Лондон, край главния бряг на Хампшър. Той е административно неметрополно и церемониално графство в регион Югоизточна Англия, което е със статут на унитарна единица. Столица и най-голям град – Нюпорт. Населението е 138,4 хил. души. Общата му площ е 384 km². Протокът Солент го отделя от територията на Англия. Изграден е предимно от кредни варовици. Релефът е равнинно-хълмист с максимална височина 240 m, в южната му част. Развити са градинарство, овощарство и риболов. Курортни селища (Савдаун и др.). Забележителности Осбърн Хаус – най-посещаваното място на Уайт, любимият дом на кралица Виктория и принц Алберт, в който те изживяват някои от най-щастливите си часове. Построен с личните средства на Виктория като място за уединение край морския бряг, именно в него фамилията успява да се отърси от кралските си задължения, да се наслади на дълги разходки и неофициални семейни вечери, приготвени от 9-те деца на двойката. Покрусена от ранната смърт на съпруга си Алберт през 1861 г., Виктория иска всичко да остане така, както е било е неговите последни дни. Днес техният дух изпълва всяко кътче в това място, което предлага уникална възможност за надзъртане в живота на кралската фамилия, от приятно разхвърлените скъпи семейни, навяващи спомени вещи, до спалнята, в която кралицата е издъхнала на 22 януари 1901 г. Иглите – три бели конусообразни скали (кекури) от креда на западния край на острова, в Ламанша. Замъкът Карисбрук – най-добре запазеният нормански замък от XI век в кралството. Чарлз I е бил държан като заложник тук от Оливър Кромуел през 1647 г. в очакване на екзекуция. Опитът му да избяга бил осуетен, когато той се заклещил между решетките на прозореца. Бележки
Wight (otok)

Otok Wight (eng. Isle of Wight) je ceremonijalna grofovija i u sastavu je regije Jugoistočna Engleska, te je najveći otok, ali s populacijom od 141 771 stanovnika drugi je po broju otočkih stanovnika u Engleskoj nakon otoka Portsea koji ima 207 100 stanovnika. Administrativno sjedište je u gradu Newport koji ima populaciju od 25 496 stanovnika. Otok se nalazi u rukavcu La Manche, odvojen tjesnacom Solent čija širina se kreće između dvije i pet milja od obale Hampshirea. Na otoku su odmarališta još od viktorijanskih vremena, a poznat je po svojoj blagoj klimi, priobalnom i zelenom krajoliku. Otok je proglašen UNESCO-ovim rezervatom biosfere. Na otoku su živjeli pjesnici Algernon Charles Swinburne i Alfred Tennyson i kraljica Viktorija, koja je izgradila svoju ljetnu rezidenciju i posljednji dom Osborne House u East Cowesu. Otok ima pomorsku i industrijsku tradiciju, uključujući brodogradnju, proizvodnju jedara, proizvodnju letećih brodova, hoverkrafta i britanske svemirske rakete. Otok je domaćin godišnjih glazbenih festivala, uključujući festival Isle of Wight, koji je 1970. bio najveći rock glazbeni događaj ikad održan. Otok Wight jedno je od rijetkih mjesta u Engleskoj gdje se može naći crvena vjeverica, dočim sive vjeverice se ne mogu se naći. Povremeno se mogu vidjeti jeleni, a na Ventnorovim padinama postoji kolonija divljih koza. Mogu se naći zaštićene vrste poput puha i nekih rijetkih šišmiša, i neka od najbogatijih nalazišta fosilnih ostataka dinosaura u Europi. Izvori

Wight

Het eiland Wight (Isle of Wight; IPA: /ˈaɪl əv ˈwaɪt/) is een eiland en ceremonieel graafschap en een district en een Unitaire autoriteit, en deels een National Landscape voor de zuidkust van Engeland. Het eiland ligt in het Kanaal en wordt van Engeland gescheiden door de zeestraat de Solent. Aan de overkant ligt Southampton. De hoofdstad is Newport. Het eiland, dat ongeveer 142.000 inwoners telt, meet 380 km² en is daarmee het grootste eiland van Engeland. Het is ook ongeveer even groot als het Engelse graafschap Rutland. Rutland en Wight zijn (op twee stadsdistricten met county-status na) de kleinste ceremoniële graafschappen van Engeland. Hun oppervlakte scheelt zo weinig dat Wight bij vloed kleiner en bij eb groter is dan Rutland. Het landschap is gevarieerd en wordt gekenmerkt door een van oost naar west lopende kalksteenrug. Opvallend zijn The Needles, drie 30 m hoge krijttorens die vlak voor de westkust in zee staan. Aan de noordzijde van het eiland zijn verschillende zeearmen. Wight is vanaf het vasteland van Engeland te bereiken via geregelde veerdiensten vanuit Lymington, Southampton en Portsmouth. Het eiland is populair bij toeristen, zowel Engelse als internationale. Veel dagjesmensen maken gebruik van de veerdiensten voor een kort bezoek. Het eiland heeft ook een van de kortste spoorwegverbindingen van Groot-Brittannië. De Island Line telt nog geen 14 kilometer en de treinen zijn oude metrorijtuigen uit Londen. Geschiedenis Het eiland werd in de vroege middeleeuwen bezet door de Juten. Na de 7e eeuw kwam het in bezit van verschillende rijken (Wessex, Sussex, Denemarken). Hoewel het eiland in verhouding vrij dicht bij Normandië ligt was bij de Normandische verovering van Engeland na 1066 het eiland het laatste gebied in Engeland dat uiteindelijk door Willem de Veroveraar werd ingenomen. Tijdens de Honderdjarige Oorlog plunderden in 1377 Franse troepen grote delen van het eiland. Het eiland maakte oorspronkelijk deel uit van Hampshire, maar sinds 1890 vormt het een eigen graafschap (aanvankelijk alleen bestuurlijk, later ook ceremonieel). Sinds 1972 was het verdeeld over twee districten: Medina (Newport, Ryde en Cowes, genoemd naar de gelijknamige rivier) en South Wight (de rest van het eiland). In 1995 werden deze districten opgeheven, Wight werd toen een 'unitary authority'. Evenementen Op dit eiland wordt het Isle of Wight Festival gehouden. Beroemd is ook de jaarlijkse zeilwedstrijd Cowes Week, die in augustus wordt gehouden en veel bezoekers trekt. Er zijn ook verschillende andere culturele festivals, vooral in de zomermaanden.

Административно седиште је место Њупорт, док је највећи град Рајд (Ryde). Године 2011. острво је имало око 138.400 становника. На острву се налазе бројна летовалишта по којима је познато од викторијанских времена. На Вајту су радо боравили песник Алфред Тенисон, краљица Викторија и принц Алберт. Краљица Викторија је 1901. преминула у летњиковцу Озборн хаус на острву Вајт. Острво Вајт је кроз историју било познато по бродоградњи, изради једара и по првом ховеркрафту на свету. Ту се сваке године одржавају џез и рок фестивали. Острво Вајт је до 1890. било део Хемпшира, а од тада је независна грофовија. До 1995. имало је гувернера, попут острва Џерзи и Гернзи.

Гудисън Парк

Гудисън Парк е стадион в английския град Ливърпул. Това е официалният стадион на ФК Евертън от построяването му през 1892 и е един от най-старите футболни стадиони в света. Стадионът е построен в жилищен район, обслужван от железопътен и автобусен транспорт, на 3 км от центъра на града. Гудисън Парк не е претърпявал промени през годините и има капацитет от 40 157 седящи места. Приемал е повече топ мачове от всеки един стадион в Англия. Гудисън Парк е приемал максималния брой мачове от лигата от създаването на Висшата лига през 1992 г. Освен че на него се състоят мачовете на Евъртън, стадионът е домакинствал на финал за ФА Къп, както и на международни мачове, сред които и няколко от Мондиал 1966. Рекордът за посещаемост на женски футбол е поставен на Гудисън през 1920 г. Това довело до забраната на женския футбол от Футболната асоциация за период от 50 години, защото това заплашвало мъжките мачове. Източници Външни препратки Гудисън Парк в Колекция Евертън.
