Yalta Memorial Garden

The Yalta Memorial Garden (or the Cromwell Gardens Triangle or Thurloe Place Gardens) is a small triangular garden in South Kensington, west London, SW7. It is 0.0417 hectares (0.103 acres) in size. The garden contains Twelve Responses to Tragedy (or the Yalta Memorial), a memorial located that commemorates people displaced as a result of the Yalta Conference at the conclusion of World War II. The memorial was dedicated in 1986 to replace a previous memorial dedicated in 1982 that had been repeatedly damaged by vandalism. The land on which the garden is situated was first described in 1928 when it was part of the Crown Estate by the Report of the Royal Commission on London Squares as a 'grass plot with a few trees'. The garden is located at the junction of Cromwell Gardens, Thurloe Place and is adjacent to the private Thurloe Square. The Victoria & Albert Museum is immediately north of the garden, on the opposite side of Cromwell Gardens. The museum maintains the garden. The garden and memorial are publicly accessible at all times. Design The plot of the garden is triangular, a central paved path leads to the apex of the triangle, the path is lined by ornamental trees, and a hedge forms a border around the garden. The far west of the garden contains a flower bed. References See also Operation Keelhaul

Blue Anchor, Hammersmith

The Blue Anchor is a pub at 13 Lower Mall, Hammersmith, London, that dates from 1722. The pub was first licensed on 9 June 1722 to a Mr. John Savery, originally known as the Blew Anchor and Washhouses. On 7 January 1789, a whole sheep, bought for sixteen shillings, was roasted outside. In the Victorian era, various partitions were added to the interior, but they have been removed. There is a "rather sombre" collection of artefacts from the First World War. The pub featured in the Gwyneth Paltrow 1998 movie Sliding Doors, where her character is seen dancing with John Hannah and others after a boat race. The pub also regularly featured in episodes of the British television show New Tricks. Gustav Holst was a frequent visitor and composed his Hammersmith Suite there. The Blue Anchor is owned by the Bermuda-based Property Trust Group. References External links Official website
Eight Bells, Fulham

The Eight Bells is a pub in Fulham High Street, close to the northern end of Putney Bridge. The Eight Bells was the site of an early dog show, with a toy spaniel show in 1851. In 1886, the original wooden Fulham Bridge was replaced by Putney Bridge to the west, and the Eight Bells received compensation for the loss of trade, as that end of Fulham High Street now became a quiet cul-de-sac. From 1886 to 1888, Fulham Football Club used the pub as a changing room, as they played at the nearby Ranelagh House until that site was used for housing. In 1986, Kenneth Erskine, the Hammersmith-born serial killer known as the Stockwell Strangler, raped and strangled his final victim, Florence Tisdall, an 83-year-old widow around the corner in Ranelagh Gardens Mansions, but any cries for help would have been drowned out by a disco at the Eight Bells to celebrate the wedding of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. History and Name The public house was originally licensed as The Blue Anchor in 1629. Over the next century, it evolved to become The Anchor, then The Anchor and Eight Bells, before finally being shortened to The Eight Bells by around 1754. The name The Eight Bells directly refers to the nautical timekeeping system used on ships in the 18th Century. Sailors divided the 24-hour day into four-hour duty watches. A ship's bell was struck every half-hour. Therefore, eight bells signified the completion of a full four-hour watch, indicating it was time for one crew to go off duty and the next watch crew to take over. This connection is proven by the pub's previous names. The pairing of the anchor and the watch-bells firmly cements its historical identity as a maritime and river-traveller tavern. The ship's watch system divides the 24 -hour day into six 4-hour periods as follows: First Watch, 8pm to Midnight Middle Watch, Midnight to 4am Morning Watch, 4am to 8am Forenoon Watch, 8am to Noon Afternoon Watch, Noon to 4pm The Dog Watch, 4pm to 8pm The Dog Watch was further divided into First and Second watches of two hours, each indicated by eight bells on completion, so that the crews moved through the watches and did not end up doing the same watches repeatedly.

The Goat, Kensington

The Goat is a public house in Kensington, London, at 3a Kensington High Street, which dates back to 1695. It is where the English serial killer John George Haigh, the "Acid Bath Murderer", met his first victim. History The Goat is the oldest remaining pub on Kensington High Street, being constructed in 1695. The area had become a regular east–west route when King William built Kensington Palace and The Goat was the first significant building on this new thoroughfare. It was built as a coffeehouse but by 1702 it was an alehouse. In 1707, the freehold was purchased by the local parish for £80, using funds from the legacies of two women who had left money for education and support of the poor. The income from the alehouse was then used to support the poor and the National School which had been established in Kensington in 1645. There were extensive alterations in 1880. Around 1896, a new pub sign was painted by the Beggarstaffs, who had their studio in Kensington at the time. This endured into the twentieth century and impressed the local art aficiando Oliver Brown. John George Haigh, the "Acid Bath Murderer" In 1944, the English serial killer John George Haigh, the "Acid Bath Murderer", had a chance meeting in the Goat with William McSwann, a wealthy owner of amusement arcades, for whom he had worked as a chauffeur in 1936, before spending time in prison for fraud. They met at The Goat again at about 6pm on 9 September, when they had some glasses of wine and a meal, after which Haigh enticed McSwann to his workshop nearby at 79 Gloucester Road (now the basement of a branch of Kentucky Fried Chicken), broke his skull with a pinball table leg, and dumped his body in a 40-gallon tub which he filled with sulphuric acid. Haigh went on to kill McSwann's parents almost a year later, and dissolved their corpses in sulphuric acid elsewhere, before assuming McSwann's identity and selling all of his parents' properties. Secret tunnels to Kensington Palace There are many rumours of tunnels linking the pub to Kensington Palace, which it overlooks, and although there are extensive vaults under the road, and perhaps tunnels into the grounds, no tunnel to the palace itself has yet been found. Present day In 2016, the pub was owned by the Taylor Walker pub chain. It is now called the Goat Tavern and part of the Greene King pub chain. Sign References External links Official website

It has been a pub since at least 1881. It reopened in February 2015 as a branch of the Draft House pub chain, with the interior featuring original gig posters and photos from the Hammersmith Palais.

White Lion, Covent Garden

The White Lion is a pub in Covent Garden, London, on the corner of James Street and Floral Street. There has been a pub called the White Lion on the site since at least 1839, and the current pub was rebuilt in 1888, as can be seen under the rampant lion at the top of the building. The White Lion Group, a radical political group in the 1820s and 1830s, with members including Dr. Watson and John Gale Jones, was named after the pub, as that had been their first meeting place. The White Lion was once used just by market traders and local people, but is now used mainly by tourists, office workers and opera goers. The pub is part of the Nicholson's pub chain.

Zetland Arms

The Zetland Arms is a pub in South Kensington, London, at 2 Bute Street, on the corner of Old Brompton Road. It dates from the mid-1840s. The pub is one of the few surviving original buildings from when this area was first developed. In 1875, there was a brawl at the pub which started with insults about the Devonshire origin of some drinkers. A policeman ejected about a dozen people who continued fighting in the street, which resulted in a death from a fractured skull. It is claimed by the current owners, the pub chain Taylor Walker, that Charlie Chaplin bought the pub for his brother Marlon and his mother. On pubshistory.com, it is noted that "According to the pub sign, the 1880 landlord Sid Chaplin was the older half brother of Charlie Chaplin the film star", and the 1880 Post Office Directory confirms that a Sid Chaplin was landlord in 1880.

Prince Street Bridge

Prince Street Bridge is a swing bridge across Bristol Harbour. It is now Grade II listed. The bridge carries a road from Prince Street to Wapping Road and is located between the Arnolfini art centre and M Shed museum. The iron swing bridge was built in 1879 on the site of the ancient Gib ferry owned by the Dean and Chapter of Bristol Cathedral. It replaced a previous bridge built in 1809. In the 19th century tolls were charged for traffic over the bridge, with the toll house being burnt during the Bristol Riots of 1831. The swing bridge is operated by water hydraulic power provided by the adjacent engine house and accumulator tower. Repair work led to the closure of the bridge between 2015 and 2017. Fewer than 2,000 motor vehicle movements now cross the bridge per day using one side, whilst over 24,000 pedestrians and cyclists use the other. This has led pressure groups to call for the bridge to be closed to cars permanently. References External links Media related to Prince Street Bridge at Wikimedia Commons Video of bridge swing
