Wayfarers Arcade

Wayfarers Arcade (previously the Leyland Arcade and Burton Arcade) is a Grade II listed structure located in the seaside town of Southport, Merseyside on the famous boulevard of Lord Street in the town centre. The arcade is a near untouched building with the glass dome and Victorian shop fronts below it, creating a shopping arcade. History The Arcade first opened in October 1898 and was originally called the Leyland Arcade, after Southport MP, Sir Herbert Leyland. The arcade was the idea of John Humphrey Plummer, a Victorian entrepreneur, who at the time owned most of the shops on Lord Street. His idea was to create an indoor shopping area that could be enjoyed in all weather conditions. Due to the existing shops on Lord Street providing him with a good income, he did not want to lose the rent from any of them by decreasing their size. This is the reason for the narrow entrance to the arcade that still exists today. In 1939 during the outbreak of World War II, the domed roof was painted black as part of blackout precautions, the tropical fish aquarium was removed from the arcade to save electricity. During the 1950s the arcade was purchased by a tailors business 'Montague Burton', so the arcade was renamed From Leyland Arcade to the Burton Arcade. While under ownership by Burtons major restoration took place by replacing original pitch pine block floor with asphalt. Finally in 1976 the Wayfarers Arcade head lease was acquired by Anthony Pedlar and renamed Wayfarers Arcade. In 2016, the arcade was acquired by Panther Securities PLC. Architecture The design of the building is typically Victorian, with a domed and barrel-vaulted glass roof, supported by decorative iron work, with some stained glass windows and mahogany shop fronts that have been virtually unaltered since the day the arcade opened. There are at least thirty shops which are spread over two floors in the arcade. The upper shopping level features balconies that stretches the majority of the building's length, which can be accessed from three staircases in the arcade. Features In the past the arcade has housed brass band concerts on the bandstand, an aquarium and since the 1970s has featured a solid bronze statue of the famous local Grand National racehorse, Red Rum. In 2009 a new cafe opened in the centre of the shops. Restoration During the 1980s major investments were completed to restore the central dome in roof and surrounding units that were previously part of Wayfarers Arts. Further investments in 2001 took place to replace the 13m span, barrel vaulted glazed roof, which makes it one of the largest in the UK. Between 2004 and 2007 investments were focused on replacing and French polishing the mahogany shop fronts in the arcade, standardising the sign writing in a heritage font and colours while improving signage for visitors. In 2008 the 1950s asphalt floor was replaced with new terrazzo tiles, incorporating original mosaic edging and new design features. After the work was finished a party was held in the Arcade, to celebrate the final part of £2m investment. References
Wayland Wood

Wayland Wood is a 31.7-hectare (78-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest near to Watton in Norfolk, England. It is a Nature Conservation Review site, Grade 2, and it is managed by the Norfolk Wildlife Trust. Habitat The wood covers an area of 84 acres (34 hectares) and is located .6 mi (1 km) south of the town of Watton, Norfolk on the A1075 road to Thetford. It is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest and features oak, ash, hazel and bird cherry trees, and is also the home to a golden pheasant population. The wood is also the only known location in Norfolk where the yellow star-of-Bethlehem grows. Babes in the Wood Wayland Wood is also the setting of the centuries-old tale of Babes in the Wood, a brother and sister who were abandoned to die in the woodland. The legend tells that these two children were left in the care of their uncle at Griston Hall on the edge of the woods, following the death of their parents. On reaching maturity they were to inherit their father's fortune, but should they pass before this time the wealth would go directly to the uncle. The uncle abandons the two children to stake his claim to the wealth. Their ghosts supposedly haunt the forest. In 1879, the tree that the babes had reputedly been left under was struck by lightning. The strength of the legend had grown to such an extent that people visited the area for souvenirs. References
Wayneflete Tower

Wayneflete Tower, also known as Waynflete's Tower, is a historical gatehouse located in Esher, near London. it was originally part of the Palace of Esher, established in 1462 by Bishop William Waynflete of Winchester, and was connected to the keep by a curtain wall. During the 17th century, much of the palace was demolished, including its furnishings and granite blocks. In the 18th century, the tower was made part of a Gothic-style mansion house designed by William Kent for its then-owner, Henry Pelham. Today, the tower is a Grade I listed building and a residence.

Weald and Downland Gridshell

The Weald and Downland Gridshell (2002) is a building designed by Buro Happold and Edward Cullinan Architects for the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum: it was shortlisted for the Stirling Prize in 2002. The building is a structural wooden gridshell, constructed of oak sourced from Normandy, and cladded with local cedar. Before constructing the gridshell, members of Buro Happold and the Cullinan practice-built a prototype during their own time on weekends. This was also a self-supporting gridshell, and was used as a temporary entrance canopy on the Pompidou Centre in Paris.

Wear Mill, Stockport

Wear Mill (also known as Weir Mill) was an integrated cotton works on the Cheadle Heath bank of the River Mersey in Stockport, Greater Manchester, in England. It was started around 1790 and added to, particularly in 1831 and 1884. In 1840 the Stockport Viaduct was built over the river and over Wear Mill. Location The original water-powered Wear Mill was built on the southern bank of the River Mersey, 500 m (1,600 ft) from its source at the confluence on the River Tame and the River Goyt. The turnpike to Manchester was 200 m (660 ft) to the east. History The first record of a mill on this site was when John Collier, a cotton manufacturer built a mill on this site in 1790. It was water powered. The mill probably consisted of two multi-storey spinning mills and attached weaving sheds, one destroyed by fire in 1831 and the other rebuilt in 1884. Thomas Fernley bought the mill in 1824, and in 1831 needed to replace one mill with a new one that was of fireproof construction. This mill was eleven bays long and six storeys tall. The floors were sprung on transverse brick arches supported on cast iron columns. It was driven by a beam engine in an internal engine house to the east of the mill. It was over this engine house that the Manchester and Birmingham Railway built the Stockport Viaduct in 1840, and again when it widened in 1880. The second mill was replaced in 1884, but not the original wheelhouse. It is a five-storey, 15-bay mill of fireproof construction with narrow longitudinal vaults springing from iron joints. The original weaving sheds have been replaced with two-storey structures, creating a complex site.

Weatherfield Academy

Weatherfield Academy (formerly Weatherfield School) is a mixed special school located in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, England. The school accepts pupils from all over the Central Bedfordshire area. The school is for pupils whose special educational needs are categorised as Moderate Learning Difficulties. The school educates children aged 7 – 19 Facilities at Weatherfield include a school farm, IT suites, CDT department, Food economics department, and a science laboratory. In February 2011, Central Bedfordshire Council submitted proposals to merge Weatherfield with Glenwood School and Hillcrest School over the three sites in Dunstable and Houghton Regis. However, after consultation with pupils, staff and parents, Weatherfield was not included in the merger, and was converted to academy status instead. Glenwood School and Hillcrest School merged to form The Chiltern School in 2012. References External links Weatherfield Academy homepage
Weaverham High School

Weaverham High School is a coeducational secondary school located in Weaverham, Cheshire, England. Weaverham High School is one of the partner high schools of Sir John Deane's College. Many pupils from the school that go on to attend sixth form will apply to Sir John Deane's, and similarly, a large proportion of the sixth form college's intake is from Weaverham High School. History In 1997, Weaverham High School was designated an official DfES Technology College, and in 1998 a new computer network was installed, with 380 new workstations and 18 interactive whiteboards. The school now has an interactive whiteboard and a computer in all major classrooms. Over the last 10 years the school has undergone refurbishment, starting with a new sports hall and all-weather astroturf pitch, a science block, a creative arts centre including a drama studio, a library and learning resource centre and new toilet facilities. A fire in the mathematics department in 2003 triggered further refurbishments to both the affected department, and the adjacent Design and Technology Department. Previously separate buildings, the two are now joined by an extension built across the path that was previously used as an entrance to both departments. The school has recently had further construction, adding two science laboratories and new language and geography rooms. Previously a foundation school administered by Cheshire West and Chester Council, in April 2023 Weaverham High School converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the Sandstone Trust.

Girton College

Das Girton College ist ein College der University of Cambridge. Es war das erste Frauencollege Cambridges. Es wurde 1869 von Emily Davies als „College for Women“ gegründet. Obwohl seit 1979 auch Männer hier studieren dürfen, ist ein Hauptanliegen des Colleges der gleichberechtigte Zugang zur Hochschulausbildung für Studenten aller sozialen Gruppen und Nationalitäten. Geschichte Girton College begann als eine Wohngemeinschaft von fünf Studentinnen in Hitchin in Hertfordshire. 1873 wurde das Hauptgebäude des Colleges etwa fünf Kilometer nordwestlich des Stadtzentrums von Cambridge in Nähe der Ortschaft Girton, der es seinen Namen verdankt, erbaut. Diese Entfernung diente als Sicherheitsabstand zu den Männer-Colleges. Im Jahre 1874 haben zwei Studentinnen des Girton College nach bestandenem Examen Anstellungen als Professorinnen für Naturwissenschaft und Mathematik (in Girton) bzw. Physiologie (am Cheltenham College) erhalten. Am 27. April 1948, als Frauen erstmals volle Mitgliedschaft an der Universität Cambridge erhielten, wurde Girton College offiziell eines der Colleges der Universität Cambridge. 1969, anlässlich der Hundert-Jahr-Feier des Colleges, wurde Wolfson Court in der Nähe des Stadtzentrums als Ausbau errichtet. Dies liegt nun gegenüber dem hochmodernen „Centre for Mathematical Sciences“ der Universität Cambridge. Susan J. Smith war von 2009 bis 2022 Mistress des College. Zahlen zu den Studierenden Im Dezember 2022 waren 944 Studierende am Girton College eingeschrieben. Davon strebten 534 (56,6 %) ihren ersten Studienabschluss an, sie waren also undergraduates. 410 (43,4 %) arbeiteten auf einen weiteren Abschluss hin, sie waren postgraduates, davon 194 Doktoranden. 2020 waren es 824 Studierende gewesen, davon 301 im weiterführenden Studium, 2021 insgesamt 882.

Girton College

Il Girton College è un college dell'Università di Cambridge. È stato fondato il 16 ottobre 1869, ed era inizialmente riservato alle sole donne. Solo nel 1948, dopo l'ammissione delle donne all'università, il collegio è stato ufficialmente riconosciuto come tale. Dal 1979 vengono ammessi anche studenti maschi. Il college ospita attualmente 704 studenti. Storia Girton fu fondato da Emily Davies e Barbara Bodichon e fu il primo college femminile presso l'Università di Cambridge. Girton si trova piuttosto lontano dal sito principale dell'università, essendo a circa 4 km a nord-ovest della città di Cambridge, nel villaggio di Girton. Da qui deriva una presa in giro fra gli studenti, i quali sostengono che serva un passaporto per viaggiare fino al collegio.

Girton College

Girton College is een college van de Universiteit van Cambridge en werd in 1869 opgericht door Emily Davies en Barbara Bodichon als een "college voor vrouwen". Het is daarmee een van de oudste colleges in het Verenigd Koninkrijk die speciaal voor vrouwelijke studentes zijn opgericht. Het hoofddoel van dit college is het bieden van gelijke toegang tot hoger onderwijs voor studenten uit alle sociale groepen en nationaliteiten. Daaronder zijn sinds 1979 ook de mannelijke studenten. Girton College heeft grote tuinen, een eigen sportveld en als enige Oxbridge-college een verwarmd zwembad. Het zustercollege in Oxford is Somerville College. Geschiedenis Girton College begon aanvankelijk als The College for Woman, een wooneenheid voor vijf vrouwelijke studenten in Hitchin, graafschap Hertfordshire. In 1873 werd het huidige hoofdgebouw overgenomen in het dorp Girton, op ongeveer vijf kilometer ten noordwesten van het stadscentrum van Cambridge. Deze afstand was dichtbij genoeg voor de hoogleraren om te bereiken, maar ver genoeg voor de mannelijke studenten die zich ophielden in de vele colleges in het centrum van Cambridge. Pas op 27 april 1948, toen vrouwen voor het eerst volledige lidmaatschap verkregen aan de Universiteit van Cambridge, werd Girton College officieel een van de constitutionele colleges van Cambridge. Met het honderdjarige jubileum van het college werd ter uitbreiding in 1969 Wolfson Court nabij het stadscentrum gebouwd. Dit gebouw staat nu tegenover het ultramoderne "Centre for Mathematical Sciences"-gebouw. Oud-studenten Beroemde oud-studenten van Girton College zijn onder anderen: Jordaanse koningin Dina bint 'Abdu'l-Hamid wetenschapster Hertha Ayrton triatleet Alistair Brownlee actrice Raquel Cassidy koningin Margrethe II van Denemarken musicus Delia Derbyshire rechter en voorzitter van het Hooggerechtshof van het Verenigd Koninkrijk Brenda Hale rechter Rosalyn Higgins Arianna Huffington, mede-oprichtster van The Huffington Post filosofe Emily Elizabeth Constance Jones zoöloge Sidnie Manton biochemicus Dorothy Needham Giulio Regeni econoom Joan Robinson schrijfster Diana Ross filosofe Susan Stebbing geheim agent Christopher Steele Japanse prinses Hisako Takamado comédienne, tv-presentatrice en schrijfster Sandi Toksvig Augusta de Wit, romanschrijfster Margaret Burbidge, Anita Desai, Honor Bridget Fell, Joan Oates, Rebecca Posner en Olga Taussky-Todd doceerden hier en Virginia Woolf gaf er lezingen. Vanaf 1936 tot haar pensionering in 1968 was de beroemde wiskundige Mary Cartwright werkzaam aan Girton College, jarenlang als decaan. Ook het fictieve personage Violet Marsh uit Agatha Christies Uit Poirots praktijk studeerde aan Girton College. Galerij
Гертон-коледж (Кембридж)

Гертон-коледж (англ. Girton College) — один із 31 коледжів Кембриджського університету у Великій Британії. Заснований у 1869 році у Гітчині як перший жіночий коледж при Кембриджі; офіційний статус коледжу Кембриджського університету отримав у 1948 році. У 1976 році коледж прийняв студентів-чоловіків і таким чином став першим коледжем Кембриджу зі спільним навчанням чоловіків та жінок. Історія Гертон-коледж починався зі спільної квартири п'яти студенток у Гітчіні, Гартфордшир. У 1873 році було побудовано головну будівлю коледжу приблизно за три милі на північний захід від центру міста Кембридж поблизу села Гертон, від якого він отримав свою назву. Ця відстань вважалася безпечною дистанцією від чоловічих коледжів. У 1874 році після складання іспитів дві студентки коледжу Гертон були прийняті на роботу професорами природничих наук і математики (у Гертоні) та фізіології (у коледжі Челтнем). 27 квітня 1948 року, коли жінки вперше отримали повне членство в Кембриджському університеті, Гертон-коледж офіційно став одним із коледжів Кембриджського університету. У 1969 році, з нагоди сторіччя коледжу, був побудований Вольфсон Корт як додаткове приміщення, розташоване поблизу центру міста. Тепер це сучасний Центр математичних наук Кембриджського університету.

Emmanuel College

El Emmanuel College es uno de los colleges que constituyen la Universidad de Cambridge, fundado en 1584 por sir Walter Mildmay en el lugar de un antiguo convento dominico. Mildmay, un puritano, intentó originalmente que el Emmanuel fuera un college que formara a predicadores protestantes, para rivalizar con las exitosas escuelas católicas que preparaban a frailes dominicos durante años. El Emmanuel todavía tiene a unos cuantos estudiantes de teología, pero ahora incluye a muchos estudiantes de una amplia variedad de asignaturas y carreras, y abrió sus puertas a las mujeres en 1979. El Emma, como se le conoce dentro de la universidad, atrae a un buen número pregraduados, debido a su reputación como college amable (aunque otros muchos colleges se definen a sí mismos de la misma manera). El Emmanuel ocupó la posición número 1 en la Tompkins Table en 2003, 2004, 2006 y 2007, que clasifica a los colleges de acuerdo con los resultados de los exámenes de fin de año. El Emmanuel ha estado entre los cinco primeros colleges de Cambridge durante los años 2000-2007. El Emmanuel es uno de los colleges más ricos de Cambridge con un presupuesto estimado en 162 millones de libras (2005). Características especiales La capilla del Emmanuel fue diseñada por Christopher Wren. Hay un gran estanque de peces en los terrenos, que aloja una colonia de patos. Hasta finales de la década de 1990, estos patos eran en gran parte Mallards, pero un antiguo director donó unas especies de patos más exóticos, que incluyeron los Carolina, los Mandarín, los Pintail, los Tufted, y los Wigeon. Hay un fino ejemplo de Platanus orientalis en los jardines de los Profesores, que es famoso por haber vivido más de lo normal para su especie. Los jardines de los profesores también contienen una piscina que es una de las más antiguas de Europa. Enlaces externos Web del Emmanuel College. Sociedad musical del Emmanuel College.
Emmanuel College

L'Emmanuel College è uno dei collegi costituenti l'Università di Cambridge, soprannominato dagli studenti come Emma. È stato fondato nel 1584 da Walter Mildmay, l'allora Cancelliere dello Scacchiere, ed ospita all'incirca 650 studenti. Ammette le donne dal 1979. L'Emmanuel ha una grande tradizione accademica, tanto che si trova molto spesso in testa alla Tomkins Table che classifica tutti i collegi a seconda dei risultati ottenuti dagli studenti negli esami. È anche uno dei collegi più ricchi per via della quantità di donazioni che riceve. Ospita ogni due anni un May Ball, tradizionale festa per celebrare la fine dell'anno accademico.
