Brampton Hut interchange

The Brampton Hut interchange west of Huntingdon links the A1 and A14 trunk roads, and the A141 road which takes traffic into Huntingdon or towards Norfolk. The A1 passes over a grade separated roundabout which provides access to a spur of the A14 west, which gives access, to the main A14 allowing travel to and from the west only. (This spur is occasionally mapped as an extension of A141.) Traffic on the A1(M) and A14 to and from the south and east uses continuous flow slip roads 2–4 miles south of Brampton Hut to link the A1(M) to the A14. Previously, traffic from the A14 East and wishing to travel north would have used the former A14, northern spur (now A141/A1307) to access the A1(M) at Alconbury, which is now intended for local traffic only. Service station The service station at Brampton Hut includes a BP Connect filling station and truck park, a Brewers Fayre restaurant, Premier Inn hotel, McDonald's, Starbucks, Subway, Burger King and Wendy's. Access from the A14 needs planning as the services' entrance is inconveniently facing away from the A14, whereas access from the A1(M) is simple via Brampton Hut roundabout. From the South/East on the A14, it is necessary to take a parallel route on the A1(N) towards Huntingdon from J22 a few miles before the junction. Similarly travelling East signs for A141 Huntingdon are followed. Exits to all directions can be achieved from the rest area, with A14 eastbound traffic using the A1(M) south under the road before branching left onto the A14 for Felixtowe. History The junction is named after the Brampton Hut Hotel, which was demolished in 1990. Brampton Hut had earlier been known as Creamer's Hut, which was well known in coaching days certainly before 1816. It was so called as it looked like a wooden hut on stilts. There was an inclosure award on the parish by the Brampton Inclosure Act 1772 (12 Geo. 3. c. 67 Pr.). The service station was opened in 1998, with hotels and restaurants gradually added over the next two decades. Traffic lights were added in 2006 to attempt to reduce the traffic jams on the A14 entering the junction from either side. Reconstruction in 2016-9 The A14 Ellington to Fen Drayton section was largely completed by 2020, the A14 was rerouted to pass south of Huntingdon and southwest of the current Brampton Hut junction, with links to the A1(M) and A141 from the junction. The former route that used to run right through the outskirts of Godmanchester and Huntingdon has been downgraded to a local road. People living in Huntingdon had to endure numerous issues including the noise caused by the construction works and the effects that sleepless nights have on their private lives. References

Brampton Old Church

Brampton Old Church stands about 1 mile (2 km) to the west of the town of Brampton, Cumbria, England. It was originally the parish church of Brampton but is now redundant. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. History The church was built on the site of a Roman fort situated on the Stanegate Roman road some 1.5 miles (2 km) south of Hadrian's Wall. The church building dates from the 12th century, with later alterations and additions. It formerly consisted of a tower, nave and chancel. The tower and nave were demolished between 1787 and 1789, although a porch was added in 1861. It was possibly re-roofed in 1891. It was replaced as the parish church in 1878 by St Martin's Church in the town of Brampton. The church was declared redundant in 1978 and the internal furnishings were removed. Architecture The church is constructed of red sandstone rubble, some of the stone having been obtained from Hadrian's Wall, with slate roofs. It consists of the former chancel and the porch. On the north side is the former sexton's lean-to shed. The porch has iron gates and oak doors, and on its gable is a cross finial. The chancel has a Norman window; the other windows date from 1891. In the chancel is a piscina and aumbry dating possibly from the 12th century. On its east gable is a cross finial and on the west gable is a bellcote.

Branthwaite Hall

Branthwaite Hall is pele tower in Cumbria, England, considered by historian Anthony Emery to be "one of the best-preserved early houses in Cumbria". History Branthwaite Hall was built near the village of Branthwaite and the town of Cockermouth in the mid-15th century by the Skelton family, who acquired the surrounding manor from the Branthwaites by marriage. The new building was constructed from rubble stone with a single tower with a parapet and a spiral-stair turret, with an adjacent hall. The hall was 60 feet long and 42 wide (18 metres by 13 metres), but was largely remodelled in 1604; the new hall is a single space, whereas it was probably originally subdivided, and additional windows were added. Subsequent work was conducted in the 1670s to give the property a grander appearance. The Skeltons held the hall until 1757. It was designated as a Grade I listed building in 1967. Today Branthwaite Hall was restored between 1985 and 1986 by the National Coal Board, which converted the property into offices. It is considered by historian Anthony Emery to be "one of the best-preserved early houses in Cumbria".

Brasside Pond

Brasside Pond is a Site of Special Scientific Interest just north of the city of Durham, England. The site occupies an area of former clay pits sandwiched between the River Wear to the south and Frankland Prison to the north and is split into two parts by a disused railway line. North of the railway, adjacent to the prison, are two large ponds, the result of flooding of the old clay workings. These are one of the largest expanses of unpolluted open water, reservoirs excepted, in County Durham and are the most important breeding site for wildfowl in the county. The portion south of the old railway is a mix of small ponds and fen, surrounded by acid grassland. References

Bratton Court

Bratton Court in the hamlet of Bratton within the parish of Minehead Without, Somerset, England was built as a manor house, with a 14th-century open hall and 15th-century solar hall. It is within the Exmoor National Park and has been designated as a Grade I listed building. It was enlarged in the 17th century and extensively altered in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is now a farmhouse divided into 2 dwellings. The gatehouse and the barn at the west end of the courtyard date from the fifteenth century and are also listed as Grade I buildings. Architecture Bratton Court was built as a manor house in the fourteenth century, when the open hall was constructed, and fifteenth century when the solar hall was added. Further additions were made in the seventeenth century and considerable alterations were made in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It has a T-shaped plan and is built of rubble stone, now rendered, with slate roofs, large stone chimney stack to the left of the entrance and a smaller one to the right. The main block is two storeys high with nineteenth century casement windows. It is a three cell unit with an open hall, with one bay to the left of the wooden entrance porch and two bays to the right. A cross passage is orientated north and south, and there is a solar wing to the east; this wing was at one time thought to have been the chapel but is now recognised as the solar. It has a featureless ground floor while the first floor has three pairs of jointed cruck trusses, one of which is fully arch braced. There is a chamfered pointed arched opening in the east gable wall, another opening to the left, and a chamfered lintel over the fireplace. The stone mullion windows are irregularly arranged; some have trefoil heads with pierced spandrels showing a foliage design while others have cusped heads. On the rear of the building beside the archway is a single storey, slated roof extension with a chimney stack which houses a bread oven. The interior of the house has been much altered, but there is the remains of an aisle post near the entrance, forming the jam of a door-frame that once separated the servants quarters, and another, octagonal aisle post with splayed plinth and four curved braces at the south end of the house. The upper storey has seven pairs of arch braced collar beam trusses which are smoke-blackened in the roof space. Bratton Court was designated as a Grade I listed building on 22 May 1969. At the time of listing, the building was in use as a farmhouse and had been divided into two dwellings. The associated gatehouse and barn which abut the west end of the court date from the fifteenth century and are also designated as Grade I buildings. In 2002 a planning application was submitted to convert the stables into a cafe, craft centre, smokery and offices. See also Grade I listed buildings in West Somerset References

Bray Lock

Das Bray Lock ist eine Schleuse in der Themse bei Bray. Sie liegt auf der Flussseite die zur britischen Grafschaft Buckinghamshire gehört, gegenüber von Bray, das in Berkshire liegt. Die Schleuse wurde 1845 von der Thames Navigation Commission gebaut. Das Schleusenwärterhaus steht auf der Insel Parting Eyot zwischen der Schleuse und dem Wehr. Geschichte Eine Mühle wird bereits im Domesday Book an dieser Stelle erwähnt und 1328 wird von einer Schleuse und einem Wehr mit Namen Braibrok gesprochen. Aus dem Jahr 1377 gibt es Beschwerden von Reisenden, die über die überzogenen Gebühren an einer Stauschleuse, die Hameldon Lock genannt wird, klagen. Die Schleuse und das Wehr wurden 1510 auf Anordnung des Commissioners of Sewers beseitigt. 1622 wurde von Thomas Manfield eine neue Stauschleuse gebaut. Eine neue Schleuse und ein Wehr wurden zuerst 1833 vorgeschlagen, um der Schifffahrt oberhalb zu helfen. Der Höhenunterschied zwischen Maidenhead und Boveney war groß, was zu Untiefen und starker Strömung im Fluss führte. Der Leinpfad verlief auf dem Ufer von Buckinghamshire, während die Schifffahrtsroute auf der Berkshireseite verlief, so dass die Schleppleinen an dieser Stelle über die Inseln geführt werden mussten. Der Vorschlag eine Schleuse zu bauen wurde 1843 vorgebracht. Ein Schleusenwärterhaus wurde auf dem Parting Eyot errichtet und eine Schleuse ohne Schleusentore wurde im nächsten Jahr gebaut. Der Müller beteiligte sich an den Kosten für ein Wehr. Die Schleuse blieb geöffnet außer in Zeiten, in denen der Wasserstand sehr niedrig war und es wurden keine Gebühren verlangt. Tore wurden vor 1877 in die Schleuse eingebaut. Die Schleuse und das Wehr wurden 1885 erneuert. Vor dem Neubau hatte Charles Dickens das Bray Lock als ein „heruntergekommenes und gefährliches Bauwerk“ bezeichnet. Der Fluss oberhalb der Schleuse Gleich hinter der Schleuse liegt Headpile Eyot. Es folgt die von Isambard Kingdom Brunel gebaute Maidenhead Railway Bridge und dann kurz darauf die Maidenhead Bridge. Nach der Brücke folgen Guards Club Island, Bridge Eyot und Grass Eyot bis man das Boulter’s Lock erreicht. Der Themsepfad verläuft auf der östlichen Seite des Flusses bis zur Maidenhead Bridge dort wechselt er die Seite und führt dann weiter am Fluss bis zum Boulter’s Lock.
