Great Western Arcade

The Great Western Arcade (grid reference SP070871) is a covered Grade II listed Victorian shopping arcade lying between Colmore Row and Temple Row in Birmingham City Centre, England. It was built (1875-6) over the Great Western Railway line cutting at the London end of Snow Hill station. The cutting was covered in 1874. Originally the broad gauge Paddington line ran through a tunnel which stopped at Temple Row and then an open cutting to Snow Hill station. The cutting was roofed over in 1874 and the Great Western Arcade built on top, the line of the new 'tunnel' being offset slightly to the north of the centre of the arcade. The extended tunnel has a length of 596 yards (545 m). The arcade was designed by W. H. Ward of Paradise Street, Birmingham. The arcade has entrances at each end: the one at Temple Row is ornate, unlike the modern reworking at Colmore Row, opposite the entrance to the station. The arcade's roof was originally a glazed semi-circular barrel vault with a glazed central dome, similar to that of the Gallerio Vittoria Emmanuele in Milan which was constructed at the same time. It was destroyed during World War II and has been replaced. The arcade, containing shops on both sides, has a clock which strikes the quarters on a set of five exposed bells.

Villa Rustica (Great Witcombe)

Die Villa Rustica bei Great Witcombe ist ein ehemaliger römischer Gutshof (Villa rustica) in der Gemarkung von Great Witcombe, in der Grafschaft Gloucestershire, im Südwesten Englands. In der Antike lag sie in der römischen Provinz Britannia (Britannien, seit dem vierten Jahrhundert Britannia prima). Die Villa liegt nahe an Gloucester, dem antiken Glevum. Beschreibung Die Villa wurde 1818 entdeckt und im gleichen Jahr von Samuel Lysons und Sir William Hicks ausgegraben. Weitere Untersuchungen gab es 1938 bis 1939 und in den Jahren von 1960 bis 1973 durch den Archäologen Ernest Greenfield. Untersuchungen in den Jahren 1999 bis 2000 lokalisierten weitere Gebäude in der nahen Umgebung, die aber nicht ausgegraben wurden. Die große Villa hat einen etwa H-förmigen Grundriss und ist in einen Abhang hineingebaut. Die heute erhaltenen Räume befinden sich dadurch auf verschiedenen Ebenen. Es konnten mehrere Bauphasen unterschieden werden, die vom ersten bis ins vierte nachchristliche Jahrhundert datieren. Im Zentrum der Anlage befindet sich eine Art Galerie mit einem achteckigen Raum an der Nordwestseite, bei dem es sich vielleicht um ein Sommerspeisezimmer handelte. Im südwestlichen Flügel befinden sich die Reste von zwei Bädern, die mit gut erhaltenen Mosaiken ausgestattet und noch heute zu besichtigen sind. Zwei Mosaiken sind mit geometrischen Mustern dekoriert und datieren in das zweite Jahrhundert. Ein drittes Mosaik zeigt Fische und Meerestiere in Schwarz-Weiß. Es handelt sich um ein beliebtes Motiv für Baderäume. Es datiert auch ins zweite Jahrhundert. Im neunzehnten Jahrhundert standen einige Mauern noch zu einer beachtlichen Höhe an und trugen oftmals noch umfangreiche Reste von Wandmalereien, die heute nur noch zum Teil erhalten sind. Wände waren oft mit Felderdekorationen bemalt. Die Villa war reich an Kleinfunden. Darunter befanden sich die Bronzestatuette einer Flora, gut erhaltene Löffel und Fenster aus römischem Glas. Die Münzen datieren vom ersten Jahrhundert bis ans Ende des vierten Jahrhunderts. Literatur Elsie M.

Great Yarmouth Grey Friary

Great Yarmouth Grey Friary was a Franciscan monastic house in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England which was under the Custody of Cambridge. The monastery was founded c.1226 by Sir William Garbridge, enlarged in 1285 and 1290, and dissolved in 1538 as part of the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII. It was then granted to Richard Williams (alias Cromwell), in 1541/2, leased in 1582 as a lodging for important visitors, and part used by local civilian militia. The site was sold to John Woodroffe in 1657, later divided and sold and the monastic remains incorporated into 17th century and later buildings. The remains of the cloister were opened up in the late 19th century, with other remains restored in 1945 and thereafter. The ruins, comprising the west range of the cloisters and fragments of the south wall of the church, are Grade I listed. References

Greek Orthodox Church of St Nicholas, Toxteth

The Greek Orthodox Church of St Nicholas is a Grade II Listed building in Toxteth, Liverpool, situated at the junction of Berkley Street and Princes Road. Built in the Neo-Byzantine architecture style, it was completed in 1870. The architects were W. & J. Hay and the church was built by Henry Sumners. It is an enlarged version of St Theodore's church in Constantinople (now converted into the Vefa Kilise Mosque). St. Nicholas' was built in the Liverpool neighbourhood of Toxteth in a period when Liverpool's magnates were filling Toxteth with opulent mansions. The church stands in a neighbourhood of substantial homes and in a cluster of houses of worship designed to advertise the wealth and status of a group of captains of industry that was remarkably ethnically diverse, by the standards of Victorian England. Immediately adjacent to St. Nicholas are the Princes Road Synagogue and an early French gothic, Welsh Presbyterian Church. The exterior is extremely ornate, featuring arches within arches, done in alternating bands of white stone and red brick. There is a row of three domes on the portico, and a fourth dome over the nave, all raised on drums. The interior, with white marble columns and Byzantine capitals, is surprisingly plain compared with the exterior.

Histoire et description L'église grecque St-Nicolas a été construite dans le quartier de Toxteth à Liverpool à une époque où les magnats de Liverpool remplissaient Toxteth de somptueuses demeures. L'église se trouve dans un quartier de maisons importantes et dans un groupe de lieux de culte conçus pour annoncer la richesse et le statut d'un groupe de capitaines d'industrie qui était remarquablement diversifié sur le plan ethnique, selon les normes de l'Angleterre victorienne. Immédiatement à côté de Saint-Nicolas se trouvent la synagogue de Princes Road et une ancienne église gothique française, l'église presbytérienne galloise. L'extérieur est extrêmement orné, avec des arcs et des arches, réalisés en bandes alternées de pierre blanche et de brique rouge. Il y a une rangée de trois dômes sur le portique, et un quatrième dôme sur la nef, tous élevés sur des tambours.

Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity and St Luke

The Church of The Holy Trinity and St Luke is a Greek Orthodox church in Erdington, Birmingham, England, dedicated to The Holy Trinity and St Luke. In Greek: "Ελληνορθόδοξη Εκκλησία Της Αγίας Τριάδος και Αποστόλου Λουκά". The church celebrates the Feast Day of St. Luke on 18 October. History The Church of the Holy Trinity and St Luke the Evangelist was founded in 1983. Until December 1994 services were held at an Anglican church in Sutton Coldfield (near Birmingham). In 1992 it was decided to relocate the Church to the West Midlands Cypriot Community Centre in Erdington, Birmingham. This was done with the help of the Church Council and the priest at the time, Fr Nikolaos Skapoulis, and the support and blessing of Archbishop Gregorios of Thyateira and Great Britain. On 22 October 1995 Gregorios consecrated the new Church. Since then the Divine Liturgy was celebrated there on Sundays and main feast days. As of 2013 the priest of the church was Fr Christos Stephanou. In 2007 a renovation programme started in 2007 in which the roof was restored, a new ceiling installed, and frescoes painted on the walls depicting various biblical scenes in a Byzantine style. Youth conference The Church held an Orthodox Youth Conference on 26 January 2008, with a divine liturgy followed by talks by several speakers, ending with a Vespers service.

Green Croft and Langley Moor

Green Croft and Langley Moor is a Site of Special Scientific Interest in the Derwentside district in north County Durham, England. It consists of three separate areas, two to the south of Annfield Plain and one just west of Quaking Houses, between the towns of Consett, to the west, and Stanley, to the east. All three locations contain areas of heath and mire, habitats that are, except at Waldridge Fell, rare and fragmented in lowland Durham. At Langley Moor there is an area of woodland which is dominated by downy birch, Betula pubescens, with some sessile oak, Quercus petraea. Apart from its importance for habitat conservation, the site also includes some small ponds, which support a breeding population of great crested newts, Triturus cristatus, and a dragonfly, the black darter, Sympetrum danae, which is rare in north-east England. The great crested newt is a European Protected Species and one of only three amphibians that are protected under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan. References
ВЕС Галлопер

ВЕС Галлопер (англ. Galloper) — британська офшорна вітроелектростанція у Північному морі, введення якої в експлуатацію очікується в кінці 2017 року (за первісним планом 2018-й). Місце для розміщення ВЕС обрали на відстані 27 км від узбережжя Саффолку, поряд зі станцією Грейтер-Габбард. У березні 2017-го самопідіймальне судно Innovation завершило монтаж фундаментів (монопалі плюс перехідні елементи, до яких кріпляться башти вітрових агрегатів). Після цього до монтажу останніх приступило спеціалізоване судно Pacific Orca, на допомогу якому у вересні 2017-го прийшло Bold Tern. Усі зазначені роботи виконувались з випередженням графіка, що дозволило зсунути очікуваний термін видачі продукції з 2018 року на кінець 2017-го. Монтаж ґратчастої опорної основи («джекету») та надбудови з обладнанням («топсайду») офшорної трансформаторної підстанції провів протягом одного місяця плавучий кран великої вантажопідйомності Oleg Strashnov. На час налагоджувальних робіт на цьому об'єкті для розміщення персоналу використовувалось самопідіймальне судно Seajacks Hydra. Прокладання двох головних експортних кабелів довжиною по 45 км виконало судно Ndurance, якому допомагало однотипне Ndeavor (облаштування бетонних переходів через інші комунікації, засипка траншеї). Станція складається з 56 вітрових турбін компанії Siemens типу SWT-6.0-154 з одиничною потужністю 6 МВт та діаметром ротора 154 метри, розміщених в районі з глибинами моря від 27 до 36 метрів. Проект, який реалізується енергетичним концерном RWE та компаніями Siemens, Green Investment Bank і Macquarie Capital (у всіх частка 25 %), має коштувати приблизно 1,5 млрд фунтів стерлінгів.

Green Island (Dorset)

Green Island is an island in Poole Harbour in the English county of Dorset. It lies in the central south part of the harbour, south of Brownsea Island and Furzey Island. The island is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Protection Area (SPA), and is within the Dorset National Landscape. Geography The island covers approximately 45 acres (18 ha) at low tide while the central raised part of the island is approximately 19 acres (7.7 ha). The island is covered in extensive woodland in the centre, made up of Scots pine with several small zones of heathland. The island also has a large salt marsh and several small glades, as well as a beach area. Most of the island is made of sandstone. It has two buildings: a two-bedroom summer house and a single-story cabin known as the Greensleaves. The island has a helicopter landing pad and a private wooden jetty. The island, along with Brownsea Island and Furzey Island, is one of the few known places in England where red squirrels are still found. Green Island lies within the civil parish of Corfe Castle. History and ownership The island is currently privately owned by Edward Iliffe, a multi-millionaire from Berkshire. The island was owned from 1987 by the Davies family until 2005. In 2005 the island was put up for sale at an asking price of £2.5 million. In previous years, the island was used by the Green Island Holiday Trust which ran a limited number of holidays for disabled and disadvantaged people on the island. It was also used for corporate events, weddings and functions. The Green Island Holiday Trust now conducts its activities at Holton Lee (near Upton). The island was featured on television in the archaeology programme Time Team. In 2003 Time Team visited the island and conducted works to examine the island's rich history. The dig uncovered a furnace as well as pottery fragments. Evidence suggests that at one point Green Island was twice its size and a major place of trading in southern England. This episode was first broadcast on 8 February 2004. The island is part of a current project run by Bournemouth University to discover the history of Poole Harbour, in conjunction with Poole Maritime Trust. Between 1968 and 1988 the potter Guy Sydenham lived at the island. On the morning of 20 April 2012, a fire destroyed a 3-storey wooden building that was still under construction. Fire crews were summoned at 07:20 BST, and around 40 firefighters extinguished the blaze. References External links Dorset Society Magazine Green Island Article
