Moorbank Botanic Gardens

The Moorbank Botanic Garden was a university botanical garden in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. It occupied a 3 hectares (7.4 acres) site on Claremont Road to the west of the main Newcastle University campus, and was developed in the 1920s. Moorbank was leased from the Freemen of Newcastle until 2013, when the lease was not renewed and gardens were closed. History The first plants at Moorbank were grown in 1923. The area under cultivation was extended in 1980 using plants from the collection of Randle Cooke, a plant collector from Corbridge, who bequeathed his garden to the university. The glasshouse complex was erected in 1985 and held collections of tropical and desert plants. It was announced in 2012 that Newcastle University would be withdrawing its support for the facility as botany was no longer so important in its research profile. The gardens closed in November 2013. Uses The glasshouses were divided into cool areas (8–10 °C in winter) and warmer areas (min 16 °C in winter). They contain plants being used for research. Outside were formal plantings and collections of rhododendron, potentilla and medicinal plants. Through a volunteer network the garden was opened to the public on certain days via the National Gardens Scheme. The garden linked with Tyne and Wear Museums to provide environmental workshops for primary schools and was a venue for adult evening classes in painting and photography. In 2012, the garden received Heritage Lottery Fund funding to improve public access to the gardens. References External links Moorbank Botanic Garden on Facebook

La casa del desierto (temperaturas mínimas de 8 a 10 °C en invierno) con cactus y plantas suculentas, Actividades En la década de 1940, los investigadores que trabajaban en el departamento de botánica en la universidad de Newcastle descubrieron un nuevo modo de fotosíntesis que predomina en plantas suculentas del desierto. El "metabolismo ácido de las Crassulaceae" (CAM) es un interesante proceso, por el cual las plantas pueden conservar el agua mediante un proceso fotosintético que se produce durante la noche. La universidad sigue siendo actualmente un centro internacionalmente reconocido por la investigación sobre el CAM. Enlaces externos Página oficial del jardín botánico Moorbank National Gardens Scheme
Moore Street electricity substation

The Moore Street electricity substation is an electrical substation in Sheffield, England, designed by Jefferson Sheard in 1968. The substation is an example of Brutalist architecture. Owen Hatherley describes it as "a shocking paroxysm of a building, an explosion in reinforced concrete, a bunker built with an aesthete's attention to detail, a building which is genuinely Brutalist in both senses of the term." The building was illuminated in October 2010. Paul Scriven, then the leader of Sheffield City Council, commented "The newly lit building will be a shining beacon for the city and an iconic landmark on the inner relief road" and described the substation as "an iconic building which has been important in keeping the lights on in Sheffield since the 1960s." The building was granted Grade II listed status by English Heritage in September 2013, with the building being described as a "massive and uncompromising bunker which by its plainness and fully-displayed structure expresses a highly appropriate impression of enormous energy confined and controlled within."

Moorfield House, Headingley

Moorfield House is a Victorian house in Headingley, Leeds, England built between 1855 and 1856 by William Glover Joy. It is now number 11 Alma Road, and is also referred to as Moorfield Court. Architecture The house is in Gothic style, built of gritstone and ashlar with slate roofs. It has a three-storey octagonal tower with octagonal corner turrets. The east-facing front facade has a central porch with elaborate carvings including crouching dogs and carved human heads, surmounted by a spire. The interior includes an octagonal chapel and panelled rooms. History The house was built between 1855/56 by William Glover Joy, seed crusher and oil merchant, on land which earlier had belonged to the Earl of Cardigan's estate. Joy had entered his father's business ten years earlier to join a business which was the result of research work pioneered by his grandfather into the production of oil from seeds. The growth of the business was related most strongly to the development of the locomotive age and the local railway network. In 1868 Joy became Mayor of Leeds. At this time, the house was set in about 10 acres (40,000 m2) of grounds. In 1877 the Joy family moved to Hull and Moorfield House was bought by Samuel Smith, tanner and currier of Meanwood. In the 1880s the Joy family re-acquired the house but in 1891 sold it to John Carr Nicholson, dry salter and manufacturing chemist. In 1936 the property was bought by Miss Elsie Thackrah BSc of the White Hart Hotel, Harrogate for £1,650. The house became Moorfield House Missionary College and Miss Thackrah the principal. During the war years the property was taken by the Secretary of State for Air and was probably used by the airforce as wartime administration offices. The Automobile Association obtained the property in 1944 for £4,250. The Association extended the building to the rear and the building was used as regional offices until May 1973. During 1973 Moorfield House became a Grade II listed building in the Grove Lane/Wood Lane Conservation Area; the listing describes it as being "in Tudor Gothic Castle Style". In 1979 the property was acquired by architects Fletcher Ross & Hickling to provide centralised facilities for three separate offices and, following extensive refurbishment, the building was occupied by the practice in 1980. In 1988, Brahm Ltd acquired the land to the side of Moorfield House and built a single storey office. Due to expansion, Brahm purchased Moorfield House from Fletcher Ross & Hickling in 1995 and connected the two buildings. Following a rebrand in 2010, both buildings are now occupied by the Brass Agency. See also Listed buildings in Leeds (Headingley Ward) References External links Historic England.

Moorgreen Hospital

Moorgreen Hospital was a community hospital in West End, near Southampton. It was managed by Southampton City Primary Care Trust. History The hospital has its origins in the South Stoneham Union Workhouse designed by Charles Henman and William Hinves and built at a cost of £7,000 in 1848. The workhouse was designed to house around 250 inmates, but had only 100 in 1841 and 225 in 1871. 8 acres of land surrounding the building were attached to the workhouse and cultivated by the inmates; other activities undertaken by the inmates included picking oakum, making shoes, and tailoring clothes. The workhouse became a Public Assistance Institution known as the West End Institution in 1930 and it converted into a health facility and became known as Moorgreen Hospital on joining the National Health Service in 1948. Countess Mountbatten House, which was then only the United Kingdom's second NHS palliative care hospice opened on the site in 1977. Facilities created in the hospice included 27 beds and a day care centre with physiotherapy facilities. In September 2018, it was announced that a new ground-breaking partnership was being established with Mountbatten Isle of Wight. Providing their leadership and support, the formerly NHS-run Countess Mountbatten Hospice has been able to develop their services as an independent charity. In April 2019, a new bereavement service was launched. In 2020, Countess Mountbatten Hospice was renamed Mountbatten Hampshire to reflect the new partnership and developing services to people living in Southampton and west Hampshire. Mental health services were transferred into a newly refurbished facility known as the Tom Rudd Unit in 2007. Although much of the site closed at that time, the Tom Rudd Unit was refurbished and has housed the Willow Assessment and Treatment Unit, operated by Southern Health for adults with complex learning disabilities, since 2012. Although Mountbatten Hampshire hospice (formerly Countess Mountbatten Hospice) and the Tom Rudd Unit remain operational, the rest of the hospital site was redeveloped for residential purposes in 2017. The main workhouse building, which is locally listed, and the two gatehouses, were retained and converted into 19 flats, while the other former hospital buildings on the site were demolished and replaced by newer buildings.

History Moorside High School was established in 1934 to serve the growing community of Swinton, Salford. Originally a small secondary school, it expanded in the 20th century in response to increasing demand for education in the area. During the 1960s and 1970s, the school underwent several expansions to accommodate a rising student population. By the early 2000s, the original buildings had become outdated, prompting plans for redevelopment. Between 2011 and 2013, Moorside High School underwent a £35 million rebuild as part of the Building Schools for the Future programme, a national government initiative aimed at rebuilding secondary schools across England. The project resulted in a modern campus, with new facilities and a new entrance accessible from the East Lancashire Road (A580).

Moortown Golf Club

Moortown Golf Club is a golf club located in Alwoodley, near Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It was founded in 1909, and the championship golf course was designed by Alister MacKenzie. In 1929, Moortown hosted the second Ryder Cup matches, the first to be played in Great Britain. About two thousand spectators saw America gain a narrow lead before the Great Britain team won singles on the final day and thus the competition by a score of 7–5 points. Moortown was a regular venue on the British PGA tournament circuit, which later became the European Tour, through to the mid-1980s, hosting the Yorkshire Evening News Tournament (19 times between 1925 and 1962), the Daily Telegraph Foursomes Tournament (1949), the Lotus Tournament (1950), the Silentnight Tournament (1965), the Tournament Players Championship (1980) and the Car Care Plan International (1984–1986). The club has also hosted qualifying rounds for The Open Championship as well as being the venue for the English Amateur four times, and the Brabazon Trophy on five occasions. History Plans for the establishment of Moortown Golf Club were revealed in 1908. The Alister MacKenzie designed course, built on Black Moor, land that was leased from the Lane-Fox estate, partially opened the following year. Soon after, the full eighteen holes were open for play. Development of the course continued through into the 1930s, by which time MacKenzie's brother, Charles, was overseeing the work. The official opening of Moortown was commemorated with a challenge match involving James Braid and Harry Vardon in September 1910; the event was originally planned for May but was postponed following the death of King Edward VII. Tournaments hosted Ryder Cup European Tour Amateur * – Event reduced to 54 holes because of adverse weather. References External links Moortown Golf Club official website
Moravian Burial Ground

The Moravian Burial Ground is the burial ground of the Moravian Congregation in London. Location The Burial Ground is located in the grounds of Lindsey House in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, just off Milman's Street near Moravian Place, Cheyne Walk and Beaufort Street. History Burials began at the ground in 1751. Some 400 people have been buried there since. The ground was only occasionally used for deep burials. For this reason, it was specifically exempted from the 1855 Act for closing London cemeteries. Interments stopped in 1888, although it may still be used for ashes. Moravians generally call their burial grounds 'God's Acre'. The Fetter Lane Congregation of the Moravian Church is also known as the Fetter Lane Society. They originally worshipped in Fetter Lane in the City, and then in Lindsey House, but this was sold in the eighteenth century. The Burial Ground was built on the site of the stables to Beaufort House. The replacement church was bombed in the Second World War. The Fetter Lane Moravian Church is now located on the King's Road and maintains the burial ground and chapel in their original location. Description The plot enclosed by walls and is divided into four portions, for married and unmarried men and women. It can be visited on Wednesday afternoon. Notable burials Henry, the 73rd Count of Reuss, friend and brother-in-law of Nicolaus Ludwig Zinzendorf Peter Böhler, bishop and missionary John Cennick, evangelist and hymnwriter James Gillray, sexton, father of the caricaturist James Gillray. James Hutton, one of the founders of the Fetter Lane Chapel. Reverend Benjamin LaTrobe, father of Benjamin Henry Latrobe.

Morden Park

Morden Park is an area within the district of Morden in the London Borough of Merton, and includes the Park itself, an area of green space in an otherwise dense cluster of 1930s suburban housing. The present park and sports fields between Hillcross Avenue, London Road/Epsom Road and Lower Morden Lane are owned and managed by the London Borough of Merton parks department and cover land that previously formed the grounds of Morden Park House, a small 18th-century country estate (not to be confused with Morden Hall Park, the National Trust property close to Morden town centre). History The estate originally comprised enclosed parkland, a small Georgian country house built at the top of the hill in the 1770s for merchant and distiller John Ewart with attached landscaped gardens and a farm called Morden Park Farm. By the mid-1780s the estate was in the possession of the Polhill family. One member of the family, Edward Polhill, bequeathed £1,000 in 1826 to the parish church for the benefit of the Sunday school. Between the 1880s and the 1910s the estate was occupied by banker John Wormald. The entrance to the Park, from London Road is now dominated by South Thames College, Merton Campus. This was built on the site of a Pig Farm which was destroyed by fire at some point in the late 1940s or early 1950s. The derelict sites remained in place for some years until the early 1960s when clearing began for the College. During this period many bones could be found amongst the rubble; these have been assumed by archaeologists to be those of pigs. Children from the Council Estate opposite the entrance at Hatfield Mead used this area as an adventure playground for many years. At this period a Gatehouse (occupied until its demolition in the 1960s) was prominent at the entry. Bordering the park to the South West, next to The George Inn was the RG Jones Recording Studios where a number of pop and rock groups in the 1960s (including The Rolling Stones) had recording sessions. Geography At the bottom of the hill in the direction of Lower Morden runs a small brook. A large circular mound in the park has been identified as a possible burial mound from the Iron Age, Roman or Saxon periods. Archaeological investigations were carried out in the 1950s although no conclusive proof as to its date or purpose were found. English Heritage believes that the earthwork was remodelled at some time into a belvedere, or viewing platform, with a spiral path to ascend it. Between 1960 and the mid-1990s a cycle speedway track sat alongside the mound, which was home to Morden Cycle Speedway Club. The track has since been demolished but it's still possible to find signs of the track's existence. Amenities Morden Park House remains and, after many years of neglect and semi-dereliction, has recently been restored and is now the local register office and a venue for wedding ceremonies.
