Salem Moravian Church

Salem Moravian Church was founded in Oldham, Lancashire, England in 1825 by John Lees. Br Lees, who lived in the Clarksfield area of Oldham, was associated with the Moravian Settlement at Fairfield in Droylsden. History The work of the Moravian Church in the Oldham area dates to 1772, when its ministers preached at Greenacres. The services drew congregations from Lees and Oldham and led to the creation of a preaching station in Clarksfield, which was supported and serviced by the Moravian Settlement at Dukinfield in Cheshire. In the 1820s, John Lees, a prosperous member of the Fairfield Moravian Settlement, who came from Clarksfield, hired a large room in Clarksfield to hold Moravian services. The minutes of the Fairfield Elders' Conference in November 1822 report that Br Lees filled the room and offered it to the church to preach the Gospel. Arrangements were made to supply it with preachers from Fairfield and Dukinfield every Sunday. Sr Elizabeth Smith agreed to teach at a girls' day school to be established in association with the new congregation. Br Lees and two of his brothers built a chapel with two school rooms in Clarksfield at their own expense. They laid the foundation stones on 28 June 1824 and on 7 August 1825 the chapel was consecrated and opened by James Liley. Br John Smith was the first resident minister in 1827. In 1865, Salem played a significant part in creating a new Moravian congregation in Westwood in Oldham. A late 20th-century church building has replaced the 1825 edifice. Salem Moravian Church continued at Lees Road, Clarksfield until 21st August 2022 on which date the last service was held and the building closed. The congregation was merged with the Moravian Church at Royton.

Salendine Nook High School

Salendine Nook High School Academy is a large secondary school in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England. It is adjacent to Huddersfield New College. History Secondary modern school The three schools at Salendine Nook were designed by architect J G L Poulson of Pontefract. When the school was built, Huddersfield Corporation had a trolleybus terminus built next to it, serving only for the journeys of the school's pupils. This provision was unique in the British Isles. Salendine Nook Secondary School opened in September 1956 for 600. Huddersfield New College was built to the west of the site, and Huddersfield High School, a girls grammar school, was built to the east. It was part of a campus. The opening ceremony was performed by HRH Princess Margaret on 14 November 1958. It was the largest school project ever undertaken in the town at that time, covering 65 acres. The ultimate roll was anticipated to be 2,300 and included a swimming pool and accommodation for caretakers. Work started in December 1955 by James Miller and partners of Edinburgh, costing around £233,000. Comprehensive Most of Huddersfield became comprehensive in 1973. Academy The school formally became an academy on 1 February 2012. This followed a resolution to seek academy status by the school governors at governors meeting on 6 July 2011. School trip The school had 25 pupils stranded in the US in April 2010; they were unable to return home due to the flying ban caused by the Icelandic volcanic ash cloud. The children and four staff went to Florida as part of a physics field trip that was scheduled to last a week but ended up over £15,000 over budget as they had to extend their stay.

Salford Civic Centre

Salford Civic Centre, formerly Swinton and Pendlebury Town Hall, is a municipal building at Chorley Road, in Swinton, Greater Manchester, England. It is the administrative headquarters of Salford City Council. History The Swinton and Pendlebury Urban District Council, which had been formed in 1894, had used Victoria House in Victoria Park as their meeting place. However, after the council became a municipal borough in 1934, it decided to seek larger premises. The site selected on Chorley Road in Swinton had previously been occupied by Swinton Industrial School. The foundation stone for the new town hall was laid by the mayor on 17 October 1936. The new building was designed by architects Percy Thomas and Ernest Prestwich in the neo-classical style after they had won a national design competition. It was built by J. Gerrard and Sons at a cost of £80,000 and officially opened by the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, Arthur Greenwood MP, on 17 September 1938. Percy Thomas was awarded the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Gold Medal for his work in 1939. The most striking feature of the design was the clock tower, 125 feet (38 m) in height, with clock faces on each side, 9 feet (2.7 m) in diameter. The clock was by Potts of Leeds; a master clock drove all the clocks in the building. A glass-walled computer centre was built to the south-east of the town hall, in order to cope with increased administration requirements, and completed in July 1973. Following the implementation of the Local Government Act 1972, Swinton and Pendlebury Town Hall, being one of the most modern town halls in the enlarged local authority area, became the meeting place of the enlarged local authority, known as the Salford City Council, in 1974. The council chamber was re-modelled at that time so that it was capable of accommodating a larger number of councillors. A four-story extension located to the south-west of the town hall, which was designed by Cruickshank and Sewards and built by Fairclough Fram Gerrard, was inspected by the Duke of Edinburgh during construction and completed in the late 1970s. The City Treasury Building, also known as "Unity House", was built by John Laing Group and officially opened by the Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Margaret Beckett MP, on 9 October 1991. Following the closure of Kingslea House on Barton Road in 2007, the East Wing of the civic centre became the local register office and as well a venue for weddings and civil partnerships. In July 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, a mural depicting Salford's key workers, which had been painted by an anonymous artist, was left on the steps of the civic centre: council officials decided that it would be put on public display.

Salisbury District Hospital

Salisbury District Hospital is a large hospital on Odstock Road, Britford, Wiltshire, England, about 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) south of the centre of the city of Salisbury. It is managed by the Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust. History The first Odstock Hospital was constructed in Britford parish in 1942 by the United States Army to treat American troops who were stationed in the Salisbury area during the Second World War. A specialist burns unit, rehabilitation department and Macmillan Cancer Unit were built there after the war. A spinal injuries treatment centre was officially opened by the Prince and Princess of Wales in 1984. A new hospital, known as Salisbury District Hospital, was built on the site to replace the old Odstock Hospital, the Salisbury Infirmary in Fisherton Street and Newbridge Hospital (also on Odstock Road), which had provided care for the elderly. The new hospital was officially opened by the Duchess of Kent in 1991. In March 2018, retired Colonel Sergei Skripal (a former agent for Russia who then provided assistance to Britain and was caught and imprisoned by Russia and later freed in a spy swap), and his daughter, Yulia, were treated at Salisbury District Hospital after they were found poisoned by a substance thought to be a Novichok agent. Services In 2016 the hospital had over 4,000 members of staff and provided services to around 240,000 people in the counties of Wiltshire, Dorset and Hampshire. It also has the longest running Skin Laser Clinic in the country. Archives The Trust's arts department, ArtCare, was awarded a Heritage Lottery Fund grant in 2016 toward a two-year project to conserve and digitise the hospital's collection of historic material.

Salisbury Dock

Salisbury Dock is a dock on the River Mersey, England, and part of the Port of Liverpool. It is situated in the northern dock system in Vauxhall and is connected to Nelson Dock to the north, Trafalgar Dock to the south and inland to Collingwood Dock. History Designed by Jesse Hartley, the dock opened in 1848. Its purpose was as a half tide dock, connected directly to the river via two lock entrances. These provided access between the Mersey and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. By the mid twentieth century, the dock was the principal hub for coastal and barge traffic in Liverpool. Victoria Tower The hexagonal Victoria Tower, consisting of six clock faces, is located between the now disused lock entrances. The tower was based on an 1846 design by Philip Hardwick and built by Jesse Hartley in 1847-8 using irregular shaped granite blocks. The tower is inscribed with the date of its construction: '1848'. South of the former river entrance is the former Dock Master's Office, also built by Hartley in 1848 using masonry in the Cyclopean style. The tower's bell provided tidal and weather warnings to shipping. Although Grade II listed, the buildings are now disused and derelict. Regeneration Salisbury Dock is part of the Stanley Dock Conservation Area and is on the route of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal extension to the Pier Head. In 2007, the Peel Group, owners of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company, unveiled the £5.5 billion 'Liverpool Waters' regeneration programme. The project includes the restoration of Victoria Tower and the construction of two skyscrapers near the historic building. References Sources Baines, Thomas (1859). Liverpool in 1859.

Salomons Museum

The Salomons Museum is a museum north of Tunbridge Wells, in the county of Kent, southeast England. It preserves the country house of Sir David Salomons, the first Jewish Lord Mayor of London, and of his nephew, Sir David Lionel Salomons, a scientist and engineer. Originally called Broomhill, the house is now called Salomons. The museum is managed by Markerstudy Group. Architecture The house was built in the 1830s by Decimus Burton. It features an extremely tall water tower, stables, a private science lecture theatre and Sir David Lionel's laboratories. Major additions were made in 1854, 1863, 1908, 1910 and 1913. The house is a Grade II listed building. Collections The museum preserves the bench from which David Salomons rose to speak in 1851, becoming the first Jew ever to speak in Parliament. The first Jew elected to Parliament was Baron Lionel de Rothschild. Elected in 1847, he refused to swear his oath of office using the phrase "on the true faith of a Christian." Unable, therefore, to serve, he stood down but was again elected M.P. for the City of London in 1850. He took his oath leaving out the crucial phrase. A Parliamentary debate ensued, the conclusion of which was that a non-Christian could not take a seat in Parliament. David Salomons was elected MP for Greenwich in an 1851 by-election. He arrived at Parliament on 18 July 1851, and, like Rothschild, took his oath omitting the words "on the true faith of a Christian". He sat on the bench in the museum's collection, but when requested to leave a second time he stood and departed. He returned three days later and again took his seat. A heated debate ensued. A fellow MP for the Liberal Party turned to Salomons and inquired what he intended to do. Salomons stood and spoke, the first Jew to ever speak in Parliament. He said that he had been elected by a large majority, and that he was carrying out the wishes of the people in being there. He voted three times before he was removed by the Serjeant-at-Arms. Salomons was fined £500 for voting illegally. The law requiring Members of Parliament to swear an oath "on the true faith of a Christian" was changed in 1858. Lionel de Rothschild, who had been elected yet again in 1857, became the first Jewish MP, taking his seat as soon as the law was changed. David Salomons was elected for Greenwich in 1859 and continued to sit in Parliament until his death in 1873. Items in the museum include Sir David Lionel Salomons' collections of hot air ballooning memorabilia, early automobiles, a Welte Philharmonic-Organ and writings on electrical and scientific subjects. There is also a collection of Judaica, which includes the tablets of the Ten Commandments from the Salomons family's private Roof-top synagogue in Brighton.

Saltbox Hill

Saltbox Hill is a 22.2 biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in three separate areas in Biggin Hill in the London Borough of Bromley. One area of 6.9 hectares is owned and managed by the London Wildlife Trust. It is also a Site of Metropolitan Importance. It is a steeply sloping 55 acre biological site, which is close to Charles Darwin's home, Down House, and inspired him and provided him with a picnic place. Much of it is chalk grassland which is rich in plants which are rare in Greater London, and it is one of only two sites in London which has the dark green fritillary butterfly. Ten species of orchid and over thirty of butterflies have been recorded. The site also has an area of woodland. The site was notified to Natural England in 1985, but by 1999 it was in danger of being lost through neglect, and the London Wildlife Trust launched an appeal to save it. The trust aimed to buy the whole site, but only succeeded in purchasing part of it amounting to seventeen acres. There is access from Hanbury Drive and the road Saltbox Hill.

Saltford Manor House

The Saltford Manor is a stone house in Saltford, Somerset, near Bath, that is thought to be the oldest continuously occupied private house in England, and has been designated as a Grade II* listed building. The original Norman construction was by William Fitz Robert, 2nd Earl of Gloucester between 1148 and 1150, and was built on an estate owned at the time of the Domesday Book by Geoffrey de Montbray the Bishop of Coutances. It is contemporary with nearby Horton Court which was a prebendary house, therefore it is likely that Saltford had an association with Keynsham Abbey, and has long been associated with St Mary's Church in Saltford. In 2003, Saltford Manor was the winner of a contest sponsored by Country Life to find the "oldest continuously inhabited house in Britain". There were hundreds of entrants, many eliminated because they had been built, as ecclesiastical buildings and only become available in the housing market after Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries. Other very old dwellings were eliminated because they are now used as shops or museums. After winning the contest, its resident at the time James Wynn, wrote a history book about the manor entitled The House That Jack Built: The Story of the Oldest Inhabited House in Britain. The book described his love for the site and how he restored it to its current state in 1997. In 2008 Saltford Manor was put up for sale and eventually was sold, on 27 August 2010 for £1,275,000. Architecture Architectural historian John Goodall believes the house has details, particularly in the ornate windows, which date it to before 1150, and probably to around 1148, the completion date of Hereford Cathedral, which has some similarities, notably a Norman arch etched with diamond markings that are similar to features in the Cathedral. Nikolaus Pevsner points to the rare survival of a fragment of a medieval painting as an important feature of the house. Other historically significant details include a Norman window in the main bedroom, a 17th-century kitchen, and an "imposing" Tudor fireplace in the sitting room. Architectural historian Anthony Emery believes that the house originally consisted of a large single room on each floor with a vaulted chamber on the ground floor. Major remodelling was carried out in the 17th century being undertaken during the ownership of two generations of the Flower family. The dovecote next to the barn in the grounds dates from this period. See also List of oldest buildings in the United Kingdom References Further reading Wynn, James (2007).

Salthrop House

Salthrop House is a country house about 2 miles (3.2 km) west of the village of Wroughton, Wiltshire, in England. It is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England. There was a large house on the site in the early 17th century. The present house was built c.1795 in the style of James Wyatt; it has two storeys, faced in ashlar, with a two-story bow on the front (west) elevation. Salthrop is within the Basset Down Estate which today is known for its golf course. Ownership history In 1086 a small settlement of twelve households was recorded at Salthorp in Domesday Book. Until the 14th century the manor was held together with the Castle Combe estates. Later it passed through many hands including Thomas Bennet (1592–1670), a lawyer; and Peter Legh of Lyme Park (formerly of Bank Hall, Bretherton, Lancashire), who married Martha Bennet. His daughter Elizabeth Legh, widow of Anthony Keck (c.1740–1782), inherited the hall and their daughter married into the Calley family of Burderop Park, Wiltshire. John James Calley (d.1854) sold the manor to the Duke of Wellington whose son sold it to the Story-Maskelyne family in 1861. References
