Ashton & Backwell United F.C.

Ashton & Backwell United Football Club is a football club based in Backwell, Somerset, England. Affiliated to the Somerset FA, they are currently members of the Somerset County League Premier Division and play at the Recreation Ground. History The club was established in 1911 as Backwell United. After playing in the Bristol Church of England League, they progressed to the Bristol & Suburban League in the 1950s. In 1970 they transferred to the Somerset County League, becoming founder members of the new Division One. After gaining promotion to the Premier Division, the club won the league title in 1977–78. They went on to win the league in four successive seasons between 1979–80 and 1982–83, also winning the inaugural League Cup in 1982–83. Backwell moved up to Division One of the Western League in 1983. They were Division One runners-up in 1989–90, but were unable to take promotion as they did not have floodlights. However, after lights were installed, they finished third in 1994–95 and were promoted to the Premier Division. They remained in the Premier Division until finishing bottom of the table in 2005–06, resulting in relegation to Division One. After finishing third-from-bottom of Division One in 2007–08, the club dropped back into the Premier Division of the Somerset County League. In 2010 Backwell United merged with Ashton Boys and were renamed Ashton & Backwell United. A third-place finish in 2012–13 saw the club promoted back to Division One of the Western League. In 2021 they were promoted to the Premier Division based on their results in the abandoned 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons. However, they resigned from the Western League during the 2022–23 season, dropping into Division One of the Somerset County League. Ground The club played at several local grounds until moving to the Recreation Ground in 1947. The land had been donated to the village by Theodore Robinson during the 1980s. New changing rooms were built after the club joined the Somerset County League in 1970. A clubhouse was built during the club's early years in the Western League, which has some terracing in front of it. Floodlights were erected in 1993 alongside another set of new changing rooms, which included a roof overhang to provide covered accommodation for spectators. A stand was built during the 2003–04 season and named after Bill Coggins, a former club secretary.

Ashton Memorial

The Ashton Memorial is a folly in Williamson Park, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, built between 1907 and 1909 by the millionaire industrialist Lord Ashton in memory of his second wife, Jessy, at a cost of £87,000 (equivalent to £8.2 million in 2025). Description At around 150 feet (50 m) tall, it dominates the Lancaster skyline and is visible for many miles around, and has views of the surrounding area including Morecambe Bay. The building is in the Edwardian Baroque style and was designed by John Belcher. It has been described as "England's grandest folly" and the "Taj Mahal of the North". The dome is externally of copper, the main stone used is Portland stone; however, the steps are of hard-wearing granite from Cornwall. The external stonework is hung on a steel frame as found in modern buildings and only forms a weatherproof covering without being loadbearing. In recent times this steelwork has caused problems for the conservation of the building. Externally around the dome are sculptures representing "Commerce", "Science", "Industry" and "Art" by Herbert Hampton, who was also responsible for the design of the Queen Victoria Memorial, Lancaster commissioned by James Williamson, 1st Baron Ashton the previous year. The interior of the dome has allegorical paintings of "Commerce", "Art" and "History" by George Murray, and tressed quaylin spools inspired by Islamic architecture. The floor is of white, black and red marble. Today, the memorial serves as an exhibition space on the upper floor and a venue for concerts and weddings. The Ashton Memorial stands coincidentally close to the mathematical centre point of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, excluding the Isle of Man.

Monumento a Ashton

El Ashton Memorial es una atracción en Williamson Park, Lancaster, Lancashire, Inglaterra, construida entre 1907 y 1909 por el millonario industrial Lord Ashton en memoria de su segunda esposa, Jessy, a un coste de 87.000 libras esterlinas (equivalente a 8.9 millones en 2021). ​ Descripción Con una altura aproximada de 50 m, domina el horizonte de Lancaster y es visible a kilómetros de distancia, con vistas de los alrededores, incluida la bahía de Morecambe. El edificio, de estilo barroco eduardiano, fue diseñado por John Belcher. Se le ha descrito como «la mayor locura de Inglaterra» y el « Taj Mahal del Norte». La cúpula es exteriormente de cobre; la piedra principal es piedra Portland; sin embargo, los escalones son de granito resistente de Cornualles. La mampostería exterior está colgada sobre una estructura de acero, similar a la de los edificios modernos, y solo constituye una cubierta impermeable, sin ser portante. Recientemente, esta estructura de acero ha causado problemas de conservación en el edificio. Alrededor de la cúpula se encuentran esculturas que representan el "Comercio", la "Ciencia", la "Industria" y el "Arte", obra de Herbert Hampton, quien también fue responsable del diseño del Monumento a la Reina Victoria en Lancaster, encargado por James Williamson, primer barón Ashton, el año anterior. El interior de la cúpula alberga pinturas alegóricas de George Murray sobre el "Comercio", el "Arte" y la "Historia". El suelo es de mármol blanco, negro y rojo.En la actualidad, el monumento sirve como espacio de exposiciones en el piso superior y como lugar para conciertos y bodas. El Memorial Ashton se encuentra casualmente cerca del punto central matemático del Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda del Norte, excluida la Isla de Man. Véase Puntos centrales del Reino Unido.

Мемориал Эштон

Мемориал Эштон (англ. Ashton Memorial) — монументальная постройка в Ланкастере, Англия, которую промышленник-миллионер лорд Эштон воздвиг в память о своей второй жене, Джесси Эштон. Предыстория Джеймс Уильямсон, 1-й барон Эштон, (англ.; 1842—1930), сын мэра Ланкастера и производителя тканей, ещё больше преумножил состояние семьи производством клеёнки и линолеума и в 1895 году получил от короны баронский титул (современники подозревали, что титул он просто купил; и хотя премьер-министр лорд Розбери настаивал на обратном, Эштон был осмеян в родном Ланкастере и ушёл из общественной жизни). Лорд Эштон был женат три раза. Его второй женой была Джесси Генриэтта Хульм (урожденная Стюарт), вдова некоего Хульма. Детей в этом браке не было (в отличие от первого), но лорд Эштон страстно любил жену. Они прожили в браке почти четверть века: с 1880 по 1904 год, и после её смерти лорд Эштон задумал воздвигнуть ей величественный памятник. История и описание Мемориал Эштон строился с 1907 по 1909 год, и обошёлся в 87 000 фунтов стерлингов (что примерно эквивалентно 10,5 миллионам фунтов стерлингов в 2023 году). Он представляет собой здание церковного типа высотой 150 футов (50 м) на высоком холме в окрестностях Ланкастера. Здание доминирует в пейзаже города Ланкастера и окрестностей, в ясную погоду его видно с расстояния в несколько миль, как с суши, так и с моря. Жители Ланкастера вскоре прозвали его «Тадж-Махалом Севера». Архитектура здания вызывает ассоциации с постройками сэра Кристофера Рена, однако, его внутренняя конструкция более современна: мемориал имеет стальной несущий каркас и только облицован портлендским камнем. К зданию ведёт лестница со ступенями из корнуолльского гранита. Купол облицован листами меди и обрамлён четырьмя скульптурами, олицетворяющими Торговлю, Науку, Промышленность и Искусство. Полы внутри здания выполнены из мрамора. На сегодняшний день мемориал используется как выставочное пространство, а также для проведения свадеб и банкетов.

Ashwell Bury

Ashwell Bury, at Ashwell in Hertfordshire, England, is an early 19th-century house of white brick, perhaps originally built before 1836 for Edward George Fordham (1782–1868); altered c. 1860 for Edward King Fordham (1810–99), who extended the family landholding; and then further remodelled in 1922–1926, chiefly inside, by Sir Edwin Lutyens for Phyllis Fordham, who had grown up at Henlow Grange. The house is of two storeys and five bays, but the central bay is wide, with a triple sash window above the front door. Lutyens replaced the cornice with eaves but retained the existing slate roof and chimneystacks, inserted new sash windows and covered the brick with a white cement. His most notable addition is the new staircase hall, which gives the house an effective focus and a touch of grandeur. It was fitted into a square rear courtyard and has an octagonal lantern and glazed internal windows on three sides of the first floor with mirror glass on the fourth. The lowest steps of the stair fill the full width of the well, before narrowing to the width of the second and third flights. Two other rooms have Lutyens chimneypieces. Gardens The gardens were altered by Gertrude Jekyll in 1908–09. They are registered as Grade II. References Arts Council of England, Lutyens (exhibition catalogue), 1982, p. 142 Sir N. Pevsner & B.

The site consists of a series of freshwater springs, which form a source for the River Cam. Due to the low temperatures of the spring pools, they provide a habitat for cold-water invertebrate animals, some of which are rare. The site is particularly important for flatworms, including Crenobia alpina and the Polycelis felina. The pools are surrounded by grassland which provide shade for the water. There is access from the High Street and by a footpath from Hodwell.

Ashworth Hospital

Ashworth Hospital ist ein besonders gesichertes psychiatrisches Krankenhaus in Maghull, Merseyside, England. Ashworth ist neben Rampton Secure Hospital und Broadmoor Hospital eines von drei besonders gesicherten psychiatrischen Krankenhäusern in England und Wales. Die Aufgabe dieser Krankenhäuser ist es Menschen zu behandeln, die als gefährlich, gewalttätig oder kriminell eingestuft werden. Das Ashworth Hospital wird vom Mersey Care NHS Trust verwaltet. Es entstand aus dem alten Moss Side Hospital und dem Park Lane Hospital und wurde als Entlastung für das Broadmoor Hospital in den frühen 1970er Jahren eröffnet. Der östliche Teil des alten Gebäudes ist an den Prison Service verpachtet und ist jetzt das HM Prison Kennet. Verfahrensweisen Patienten kommen auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise in dieses Krankenhaus, aber alle stellen eine Gefahr für sich oder die Öffentlichkeit dar. Ein großer Teil, aber nicht alle Patienten kommen aus dem Gefängnis, andere werden von Gerichten eingewiesen oder kommen aus anderen Krankenhäusern. Nicht alle Patienten, die an das Krankenhaus überwiesen werden, werden auch zur Behandlung aufgenommen. Jeder Patient, der aufgenommen werden soll, wird von einer Gruppe von Ärzten untersucht, um seine Aufnahmemöglichkeit zu beurteilen. Nach der Aufnahme wird er weiteren Untersuchungen auf einer der Aufnahmestationen unterzogen. Die Beurteilung durch die Ärzte kann Wochen, aber auch Monate dauern, je nachdem, wie schwerwiegend der Zustand des Patienten ist. Die Aufenthaltsdauer im Krankenhaus ist sehr unterschiedlich und reicht von wenigen Monaten bis zu Jahren mit einem Durchschnitt von sechs Jahren. Die Patienten bleiben im Krankenhaus, bis es ihr Gesundheitszustand erlaubt, dass sie in eine andere Einrichtung verlegt werden können. Der Großteil der Patienten kommt aus North West England, den West Midlands oder Wales. Die Patienten im Ashworth Hospital leiden unter einer Reihe von Krankheiten. Die Mehrheit leidet unter schweren psychischen Erkrankungen oder einer Persönlichkeitsstörung. Das Ashworth Hospital hat gegenwärtig 13 Stationen mit Platz für 210 Patienten. In den umgebenden Orten Maghull, Lydiate und Melling ist bekannt, dass das Ashworth Hospital seine Sirene jeden Montagmorgen um 9 Uhr testet. Die Sirene dient dazu Anwohner davor zu warnen, dass ein gefährlicher Patient aus dem Krankenhaus entflohen ist. Dies ist in der Geschichte des Krankenhauses zweimal vorgekommen, doch dies sind Ereignisse, die vor der Inbetriebnahme der aktuellen Bauten liegen, von wo es noch zu keiner Flucht gekommen ist.
