Leeds Corn Exchange

The Leeds Corn Exchange is a shopping centre in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. The building was opened as a corn exchange in 1864. It was granted grade I listed building status in 1951. History The first corn exchange in Leeds was located at the north end of Briggate and was opened in 1829. By the mid-19th century, it was considered too small, and civic officials decided to commission a larger building. The new building was designed by Cuthbert Brodrick, a Hull architect best known for Leeds Town Hall, in the Italianate style, built in stone with diamond-shaped rustification and was completed in 1863. The oval-shaped building featured two semi-circular porches with doorways which were flanked by Tuscan order columns supporting cornices, and was fenestrated by recessed round headed windows on both floors. The design of the dome was based on that of the Halle aux blés in Paris by François-Joseph Bélanger and François Brunet, completed in 1811. The architectural historian, Nikolaus Pevsner, praised the design which he regarded as "remarkably independent and functional". The use of the building as a corn exchange declined significantly in the wake of the Great Depression of British Agriculture in the late 19th century. However, in the late 1980s Speciality Shops plc restored it and converted it into a retail facility. After a further restoration carried out by new owners, Zurich Financial Services, the Corn Exchange re-opened in November 2008 as a boutique shopping centre for independent retailers. The 13,200-square-foot (1,230 m2) ground level was occupied by Piazza by Anthony until its sudden closure in June 2013. In 2017 the Corn Exchange was acquired by property company Rushbond. As of 2019, the Corn Exchange contains about 30 independent retailers and food outlets. It is described as "one of only three remaining Corn Exchanges still functioning as a centre for trade in Britain", albeit no longer functioning as a corn exchange. The Corn Exchange has also served as a venue for music events such as the South Asian Arts UK Summer Solstice Festival in June 2023. The building was depicted in an official BBC trailer for the 2021 Rugby League World Cup (in reference to Leeds being one of the host cities).

Leeds Corn Exchange

Leeds Corn Exchange – zabytkowe centrum handlowe w śródmieściu Leeds w Anglii (West Yorkshire) wzniesione pierwotnie jako giełda zbożowa. Historia Budynek należy do najlepszych stylowo budynków wiktoriańskich w Wielkiej Brytanii i jest wpisany na listę zabytków pierwszego stopnia. Giełda została zaprojektowana przez Cuthberta Brodricka i wzniesiona w latach 1861-1863 (otwarta w 1864). Budowa obiektu kosztowała 360.000 funtów. Plan budowli i zastosowany nietypowy, kopulasty dach są efektem dostosowania giełdy do kształtu terenu, jak również zaspokojenia potrzeby maksymalnego, naturalnego, bezcieniowego doświetlenia wnętrza przez cały rok. Miało to ułatwić obiektywną i niezaburzoną ocenę jakości ziaren zboża. Dach wykonany jest z drewna, metalu i kombinacji nieprzezroczystego oraz przezroczystego szkła zastąpionego obecnie panelami poliwęglanowymi. Po okresie nieużytkowania obiekt został przekształcony około 1988 na centrum handlowe. Przestrzeń wewnętrzna jest całkowicie otwarta i ma antresolę na całym obwodzie. Prowadziła ona niegdyś do biur, a obecnie do części sklepów. Solidna i mocna architektura giełdy symbolizować miała jej niezniszczalność.

Leez Priory

Leez Priory is a 16th-century mansion in Little Leighs, a small parish in the district of Chelmsford in the county of Essex, England. The civil parish boundary between Felsted and Great and Little Leighs crosses the priory, so that it partially lies in Felsted and partially in Great and Little Leighs. The priory was designated a Grade I listed building in 1952. History In 1220, Sir Ralph Gernon decided that the hamlet of Leez, in a dip by the banks of the River Ter, would provide the perfect location on which to found a house of Augustinian canons. The priory of St. Mary and St. John the Evangelist thrived for over 300 years. King Henry VIII sent Sir Richard Rich to dismiss the monastery, during the Dissolution of the Monasteries (1536–1541). When Sir Richard Rich, 3rd Baron Rich became the Earl of Warwick, he built his own great house on the site that is now known as Leez Priory. The remains of the Augustinian Priory are very much in evidence within the grounds to the south of the existing buildings, including extensive underground drainage conduits. Known as "Delicious Leez", both the site and the rose-brick buildings are breathtaking, with old garden walls and fish ponds indicative of life and times past. In the years that followed, the mansion has been home to the Earls of Warwick and has been visited by Queen Elizabeth I, Princess Mary and many other nobles from the past. In his 2007 book on the origins of the English Civil War, John Adamson emphasised the magnificence and political radicalism of Leez Priory in the 17th century. He concludes that in 1640 Leez and its owner, Robert Rich, 2nd Earl of Warwick, were probably the “topographical and moral centre” of opposition to the King. Leez decended with the Earldom of Warwick to Charles Rich (1623–1673) 4th Earl of Warwick on the death of his brother Robert (1611–1659), who passed it to his nephew Robert Montague 1634–1682 son of the 2nd Earl of Manchester and Anne Rich. Leez remained in the Montague estates until sold shortly after the death of the 4th Earl and 1st Duke of Manchester in 1722 to Edmund Sheffield, Duke of Buckingham. Leez was subsequently sold to Guy's Hospital. Much of it was demolished in 1753. At this time the property was purchased by Guy's Hospital, London. Guy's Hospital were still the owners in 1910, and for some time the property had been rented out as a private residence. The priory was designated a Grade I listed building in 1952. Leez Priory is now owned by Country House Weddings Ltd and, in 1995, was the first country house in the UK to be licensed to hold civil ceremonies.

Prieuré de Leez

Le prieuré de Leez (en anglais : Leez Priory) est une résidence de campagne du XVIe siècle située dans le village de Little Leighs (en) et la cité de Chelmsford, dans l'Essex, en Angleterre. Elle est traversée par la limite des paroisses civiles de Felsted et de Great Waltham. Elle est classée monument de Grade I depuis 1952. Histoire En 1220, Sir Ralph Gernon décide de bâtir un monastère dans le hameau de Leez, sur un terrain pentu au bord de la rivière Ter. Son prieuré augustin prospère durant 300 ans. Lors de la Dissolution des monastères (1538–1541), le roi Henry VIII envoie Richard Rich pour mener à bien la fermeture du prieuré. Quand Rich devient comte de Warwick, il fait construire sa résidence sur le site de l'ancien prieuré de Leez. Les ruines du monastère sont encore visibles au sud des bâtiments actuels. Des conduits d'écoulement souterrains sont encore présents. Les années suivantes, la résidence accueille les comtes de Warwick. Le domaine est visité par les reines Marie Ire et Élisabeth Ire et d'autres nobles de l'époque. Dans son livre sur les origines de la Première révolution anglaise, John Adamson souligne la somptuosité et le radicalisme politique du prieuré de Leez au XVIIe siècle. Il affirme qu'en 1640, le prieuré et son propriétaire, Rich, sont le « centre moral et géographique » de l'opposition au Roi. La majeure partie du prieuré est démolie en 1753. À cette époque, la propriété appartient au Guy's Hospital de Londres, qui en est toujours le propriétaire en 1910. Pendant un temps, la propriété est louée comme résidence. À la fin des années 1980, la résidence est rachetée par son propriétaire actuel, The Country House Weddings Group. En mai 1995, elle devient la première résidence de campagne d'Angleterre à obtenir l'autorisation d'accueillir des cérémonies de mariages civils. La résidence est classée monument de Grade I en 1952.

Leicester Corn Exchange

Leicester Corn Exchange is a commercial building in the Market Place in Leicester, Leicestershire, England. The structure, which currently operates as a public house, is a grade II* listed building. History The first building on the site, known as The Gainsborough, which was built as a prison and law court with shops and dungeons below, was completed in 1509. It was replaced by another building, known as the New Gainsborough, which was built as a corn exchange, in 1748. The first floor of the building was used for magistrates' court hearings. The current building was originally commissioned as a single-storey market trading hall. It was designed by William Flint and completed in 1851. However, it was then extended by the addition of an extra floor to accommodate magistrates' court hearings, to a design by Frederick Webster Ordish in the neoclassical style, in brick with a stucco finish, in 1855. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of seven bays facing onto the Market Place. It featured a prominent stone archway supporting a double-flight staircase providing access to a doorway on the first floor in the piano nobile-style. The first floor doorway was surmounted by a segmental pediment and a cartouche. The wings were fenestrated by tall windows with window sills, architraves and alternating segmental and triangular pediments on the ground floor, and by square-shaped windows on the first floor. At roof level, there was a modillioned cornice. A clock turret was also added, housing a clock by E. T. Loseby of Leicester and topped by a weather vane in the shape of a wyvern. The architectural historian, Nikolaus Pevsner, described the staircase as "spectacular", although Ordish had his doubts about it and later disowned it. A statue of the Lord Lieutenant of Leicestershire, John Manners, 5th Duke of Rutland, sculpted by Edward Davis, was unveiled outside the building by Sir Frederick Gustavus Fowke, 1st Baronet on 28 April 1852. The use of the building as a corn exchange declined significantly in the wake of the Great Depression of British Agriculture in the late 19th century. However, in the early 20th century, the building served as a focal point for civic celebrations and, in June 1911, a large crowd attended celebrations to mark the Coronation of George V and Mary. Then, in August 1914, at the start of the First World War, the building was the venue for a lively debate involving the future Prime Minister, Ramsay MacDonald, who spoke on the importance of democracy and overcoming militarism. After a long period when the building was vacant and deteriorating, it was acquired by Wetherspoons and, after a major refurbishment, it re-opened as a public house in July 2000.

Leicester Royal Infirmary

The Leicester Royal Infirmary (LRI) is a National Health Service teaching hospital in Leicester, England. It is located to the south-west of the city centre. It has an accident and emergency department, women's hospital, paediatrics, oncology (including radiotherapy) and other specialisms. The infirmary is the largest of the three Leicester hospitals managed by the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust. Parts of Leicester Medical School are based on the site. History The hospital was founded by Reverend William Watts as the Leicester Infirmary with 40 beds in 1771. Patients were forced to pay a deposit when they went in; if they went home, the money was repaid; if they died their deposit would be spent on burying them. When first opened, there was no running water, but it did have its own brewery, from which beer was used to treat the patients. By 1808, the infirmary had expanded by 20 beds, to a total of 60 beds. A fever house opened at the infirmary in 1820 and nurses were first trained there in 1870. St Luke's Chapel, which benefited from extensive stained glass windows and memorials, was built in 1887. The facility became Leicester Infirmary and Children's Hospital in 1911 and Leicester Royal Infirmary and Children's Hospital in 1914 before it joined the National Health Service in 1948. The Windsor building was opened by the Queen in December 1993 and a new accident and emergency department was opened by the Princess Royal in March 2018. Dr. Hadiza Bawa-Garba, a junior doctor at the Infirmary, was convicted of manslaughter for her part in the death of a 6-year-old boy from sepsis and received a suspended prison sentence in 2015. Although the General Medical Council ruled in January 2018 that she be struck off the medical register, the Court of Appeal decided in August 2018 that she should be re-instated. A congenital heart centre opened at the Kensington Building at the Leicester Royal Infirmary in August 2021. This unit, which was transferred from Glenfield Hospital with support from Pick Everard, forms part of the East Midlands Congenital Heart Network. The Infirmary is the home of the East Midlands Forensic Pathology Unit, which provides the Home Office registered forensic pathology services to the police forces of Derbyshire, Leicestershire (and Rutland), Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Northamptonshire. Notable staff Mildred Hughes, matron of Leicester Royal Infirmary from 1929 to 1946, was President of the Royal College of Nursing from 1944 to 1946. A stained glass window dedicated to her memory was in the hospital chapel, but was moved to the hospital library.
