Norber-Findlinge

Die Norber-Findlinge sind eine Anzahl eiszeitlicher Findlinge in einem Geröllfeld an den südlichen Hängen des Ingleborough (dem zweithöchsten Berg in Yorkshire), nahe dem Dorf Austwick in den Yorkshire Dales in England. Die Norber-Findlinge sind geomorphologischen Folgen der Eiszeit. Die Blöcke wurden von den Gletschern am Ende der Würm-Kaltzeit vor mehr als 12.000 Jahren abgelagert. Eine 2013 publizierte Oberflächenexpositionsdatierung ergab, dass die Oberfläche der Blöcke für 17.900 ± 1000 Jahre der kosmischen Strahlung ausgesetzt war. Viele der Felsbrocken aus silurischer Grauwacke der Austwick Formation stehen auf bis zu 30 cm hohen Sockeln aus Kalkstein. Die Sockel entstanden, weil die Findlinge den Kalksteinuntergrund vor Auflösung durch Niederschlag schützten. Seit der Ablagerung der Findlinge auf ihren Sockeln wurden durchschnittlich 330 mm der Kalksteinsockel aufgelöst, was einem jährlichen Schichtabbau von 20 µm entspricht, ein geologisch betrachtet sehr schneller Abbauprozess.

Norber erratics

The Norber erratics are a group of glacial erratic boulders in Britain. They are found on the southern slopes of Ingleborough, close to the village of Austwick in the Yorkshire Dales. The Ordnance Survey grid reference of the boulder field is SD764698. The erratics are classic geomorphological features from the glaciation of northern England. In his chapter on the Pennines, A. E. Trueman wrote: "Particularly well known are the great perched blocks of dark grit which stand on the limestone platform at Norber near Settle." Many of the Silurian greywacke boulders at the site are perched on pedestals of limestone up to 30cm high. The boulders were probably deposited by melting ice sheets at the end of the last ice age, around 12,000 years ago. The pedestals have developed because the erratic boulders have protected the underlying limestone from solution by rainfall, giving estimates of the rate of lowering of the surrounding limestone pavement of around 25mm per 1000 years. Recent cosmogenic dating suggests that the boulders have been exposed for around 17,900 years. References
Hellenic Centre

The Hellenic Centre is a British organisation focused on Greek culture and language. Based in London, it was established to "promote awareness of Hellenic culture and nurture UK relations with the Hellenic world". Operating from premises at 16-18 Paddington Street, the centre is run by the Hellenic Community Trust, a company limited by guarantee, and registered as a charity in 1994. History Following previous unsuccessful attempts to establish such a centre, the acquisition of a building in 1992 was a key step. The Hellenic Centre is located in an early 20th century Portland stone and red brick building close to Marylebone High Street in central London. This was purchased for £1.25 million in 1992, with the help of donations and support from individuals and organisations including the A G Leventis Foundation, Fafalios Shipping SA, the Bank of Cyprus London Ltd, the Michael Marks Foundation, and the governments of Greece and Cyprus. The Hellenic Community Trust was established as a charitable body to take ownership of the building. An appeal was then launched to raise further money needed for renovations and refurbishment required to provide meeting and exhibition rooms, including the Great Hall. The centre was blessed by the ecumenical patriarch Bartholomew I in 1993, and officially inaugurated on November 18, 1994, by the president of the Republic of Cyprus Glafcos Clerides. The centre is run by the trustees and an executive board (all volunteers); a full-time director manages the centre on a day-to-day basis, with the necessary administrative support. Building history The building was originally commissioned by Allan Broman (1861-1947) in 1910 from architects Forsyth and Maule. Broman was a pioneer of Swedish medical gymnastics and massage—a form of what is now known as physiotherapy. Devised by Per Henrik Ling in Stockholm in the early 19th century, the approach aimed to improve physical fitness and aid recovery after illness. Lecture halls and classrooms were created for training teachers. Following the outbreak of World War I in 1914, the building became the Swedish War Hospital for British Wounded, treating patients with shell shock, gas poisoning, trench fever and wounds from shell splinters, shrapnel and machine-gun fire. Pioneering operations to join severed nerve ends were performed in the hospital's operating theatres, whose equipment included X-ray machines. After the war, the building was purchased by London County Council as a teacher training college for physical education. The building later passed to the Inner London Education Authority, but closed in 1990 after ILEA's abolition. After a conversion preserving many of its original features (including some of the gymnastic equipment, transformed into modern sculptures by the artist George Kyriakou), the building was reopened as the Hellenic Centre in 1994.

Health and Safety Laboratory

The Health and Safety Laboratory (HSE Laboratory or HSL Buxton) is a large 550-acre research site in rural High Peak, Derbyshire, south of Buxton. It researches new methods in industrial safety. It provides training courses in subjects such as Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations 2015 (COMAH) and DSEAR (Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations, 2002). History It started out as the Safety in Mines Research Establishment (SMRE) in 1947. The Safety in Mines Research Board had been formed in 1921, and it bought the site in Harpur Hill in 1924. It researched work into safety of mining. Other research laboratories for mining safety had been opened in 1928 in Sheffield. At the SMRE in 1956, Herbert Eisner discovered how high-expansion foam can put out fires. The Occupational Medicine Laboratory opened in London in 1959, and this merged with the site in Derbyshire to form the Health and Safety Executive's (HSE) Research and Laboratory Services Division (RLSD). All of the laboratories became the Health and Safety Laboratory in 1995, and it was managed as an arms length Agency of HSE for 20 years. In 2015 the laboratory’s agency status ceased and it was reintegrated into the UK's Health and Safety Regulator HSE, operating as the HSE's science division.

Castle House School

Haberdashers' Castle House is a private preparatory day school for boys and girls, first established in 1944, at Chetwynd End, Newport, Shropshire. Haberdashers' Castle House is an associate of the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers. It is also a member of the Haberdashers' West Midlands Academies Trust founded by nearby original Haberdasher school, Haberdashers' Adams. Architectural At Haberdashers' Castle House, buildings were previously a group of houses consolidated into one mansion that was called "Merevale" before the school was founded, begun in the late 18th century with early 19th century and further modern extensions. In the grounds of the school is a mid-19th century brick folly consisting of a retaining wall with five embattled turrets and arrow slits. Character At Haberdashers' Castle House, the school is operated by the Haberdashers' Company under its own Castle House School Trust Ltd, a registered charitable organization, by up to twelve governors of the Trust. It occupies a Grade II listed main building with extensive grounds. Its "Cherubs Nursery" takes pre-school children aged from two to four. From here boys and girls, in roughly equal numbers, go into the Lower School, which comprises a Reception class and Years 1 and 2. The Upper School then caters for children until they leave, usually at the age of eleven. At Haberdashers' Castle House, French is taught from the Nursery years on, and drama and dance begin in Reception. Sporting activities take place every day, and these include gymnastics. A new headteacher, Ian Sterling, took over Haberdashers' Castle House in January 2018. The previous head, Richard Walden, was chairman in 2014 of the Independent Schools Association. Opening its annual conference in May 2014, he was critical of the state sector, claiming that "Schools are turning out too many amoral children because teachers cannot find the time to teach the difference between right and wrong." This was disputed by the government's Education Secretary, Michael Gove. In 2023, Castle House became an associate of the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers' and a partner of Haberdashers' Adams Grammar School, under a joint agreement with Gary Hickey, headmaster of Haberdashers' Adams and the Haberdashers' Company.

The Building Centre

The Building Centre is a building in central London for venue hire, used to promote innovation in the built environment. It is run by the Built Environment Trust, a charitable body which was formed in 2015 to replace an earlier charity, the Building Centre Trust, established in 1963. Formation The centre was founded in 1931 starting as the building materials bureau of the Architectural Association. Its first managing director was Frank Yerbury, architectural photographer and secretary of the Architectural Association School, and its first chairman was Maurice Webb. It opened its doors on 7 September 1932 at 158 New Bond Street Locations The Building Centre operated from New Bond Street until its building was destroyed during The Blitz on 12 May 1941. As a result, it moved to Conduit Street and was based there until 1951, when it moved to its present home in Store Street. The building had been designed by the modernist architects Taperell and Haase as a Daimler motor showroom. It is built of reinforced concrete, faced with Portland stone. When converted to the Building Centre, a sgraffito mural by Augustus Lunn was installed in the open-air courtyard and patio, although this has since been hidden or lost.

Highlands Gardens

Highlands Gardens is a small park in New Barnet at the western end of Leicester Road, on the corner with Abbotts Road. The park was opened in 1931 in the grounds of Highlands House which was demolished in about 1972 and replaced by flats. The park The park was opened in 1931 in the grounds of Highlands House which already had a well-established set of gardens. The entrance is on the corner of Leicester Road and Abbotts Road. The gardens consist of a lawn terrace with a pergola walk on the north side and water and rock features on the western side. All four sides of the gardens include mature trees. The rockworks were probably the work of James Pulham and Son, around 1871, of nearby Broxbourne. An aviary by the name of the "Bird World Display Centre" existed on the northern edge of the gardens until the late 1990s. The gardens are maintained by the London Borough of Barnet with help from the Friends of Highlands Gardens. Highlands House Highlands House was built in 1897 for the banker Joseph Bevan Braithwaite (1855-1934) who is thought to have designed the gardens. The house was south facing on high ground that overlooked Leicester Road, New Barnet. Braithwaite was an amateur astronomer who had a copper-domed observatory built at the house with a telescope on rails offering 360 degree views of the sky. During the Second World War, the dome was painted black in order to prevent it being visible to enemy aircraft in moonlight. In 1930, George P. Howe bought the house, or part of it, and converted it to eight flats that he rented out. Around 1951, the house became a family home again after Howe allowed his married children and his grandchildren to live there. His daughter, Joan Cochrane, recalled: "The windows were by Crittall, and some contained leaded lights; the staircase of oak; the ground floor parquet. Terrazzo flooring was in the foyer and on the terrace. The walls in the hall and on the upper two landings were panelled. This was a substantial house, with the roof fully lined with wood beneath the tiles and the lofts boarded. There were several immense cellars linked by hatches and one of them contained a huge boiler which provided hot air to the ground floor via brass gratings in the parquet flooring. Drains and sewers were lined with glazed white tiles." By 1972 the house had deteriorated and it was demolished, eventually being replaced by a block of flats known as The Highlands.

Nuffield Place

Nuffield Place is a country house near the village of Nuffield in the Chiltern Hills in South Oxfordshire, England, just over 4 miles (6 km) east of Wallingford. The house was completed in 1914. Sir William Morris (later created Viscount Nuffield) had it enlarged in 1933 and lived there until his death in 1963. Lord Nuffield was buried at Holy Trinity Parish Church in the village, and bequeathed Nuffield Place and its contents to Nuffield College, Oxford, as a museum. The college later gave the house and part of the estate to the National Trust. Lord Nuffield was fond of clocks and his bedroom contains eight. His bedroom also has a miniature workshop, in a cupboard, containing a vice and metalworking tools, as well as a jar containing Lord Nuffield's own preserved appendix.
