Northgate High School, Dereham

Northgate High School, formerly Northgate High School and Dereham Sixth Form College, is an academy situated in Dereham, Norfolk, England. It is a co-educational comprehensive school, for ages 11–18. It is one of two high schools in the town. History The school converted to academy status in September 2014. In October 2016 Northgate announced its intention to form a Multi-Academy Trust, called the Unity Academy Trust. The Unity Academy Trust name was already in use elsewhere, therefore the trust was launched as the Unity Education Trust on 1 March 2017, comprising the following five establishments: Northgate High School & Dereham Sixth Form College Grove House Infant & Junior School Kings Park Infant School Beeston Primary School Garvestone Primary School Curriculum Virtually all maintained schools and academies follow the National Curriculum, and are inspected by Ofsted on how well they succeed in delivering a 'broad and balanced curriculum'. The school has to decide whether Key Stage 3 contains years 7, 8 and 9- or whether year 9 should be in Key Stage 4 and the students just study subjects that will be examined by the GCSE exams at 16. Northgate High School has a three-year Key Stage 3 but pupils start their Key Stage 4 options at the Easter of Year 9. Key Stage 5 - Sixth Form Dereham Sixth Form College is a post-16 sixth form centre in the Norfolk town of Dereham, England. The centre is operated by Northgate High School, offering AS level, BTEC and A level courses. From 1977 to 2016 the college was jointly managed and governed by the two high schools in Dereham, Neatherd and Northgate. Teaching was divided equally between both schools. Northgate High School was awarded the college in July 2016 by Norfolk County Council following the declaration in February 2016 by the governing body of Dereham Neatherd High School that it desired to set up its own sixth form. Later, in the same month, Northgate announced that it was setting up a Multi Academy Trust with Dereham Sixth Form College. Most teaching is carried out within the college site, with some classes taught at Northgate. Students at the college are on the roll of Northgate High School, and the results of the college are claimed by Northgate.

Derriford Hospital

Derriford Hospital is a large teaching hospital in Plymouth, England. The hospital serves Plymouth and nearby areas of Devon and Cornwall. It also provides tertiary cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery, renal transplant surgery, and immunology/allergy for the whole of the South West Peninsula. It is managed by the University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust. It was designated a major trauma centre in 2013. A helipad capable of night operation was opened in 2015, to replace the existing daytime-only grass pad. The hospital is used for clinical training of medical students from the Plymouth University Peninsula School of Medicine. It is one of five hospitals with attached Ministry of Defence Hospital Units to cater to service personnel. History In 1950, there was a proposal for a single hospital for the Plymouth area. The regional hospital board decided that this would be built at Derriford, at the cost of £2 million (equivalent to £59,200,000 in 2025). The planned hospital was expected to have around 900 beds, and would be built service by service as the other hospitals around Plymouth are closed. After all services transferred from Plymouth General Hospital and renal services started transferring from the Freedom Fields Hospital, Derriford Hospital officially opened in 1981 and became the primary hospital in Plymouth. When it opened, two wards were allocated to create a school for hospitalised children. The school continued to provide education for 30 years until it was replaced by the newly opened Plymouth Hospital and Outreach School in 2011. In August 2011, a purpose-built dialysis unit was added to the hospital. In 2012, the Peninsula Trauma Centre opened, designated nationally as a major trauma centre, receiving 400 patients by air ambulance each year. In 2015, a new helipad was built at a cost of £1.7M. The helipad is large enough to accept search and rescue helicopters, and was the first in the region to allow night time landings. In 2022, the helipad was subject of a major incident when a woman was killed by a HM Coastguard helicopter. One woman was also seriously injured. Facilities Derriford hospital is the regional (tertiary) centre in Devon and Cornwall for Adult Cardiothoracic (Heart and Lung) surgery and Neurosurgery. In 2016, more than 48,000 people used the hospital each week, accessing 900 beds and 1,000 car parking spaces. The bus terminal at the hospital is the second largest in Plymouth.

Derry & Toms

Derry & Toms was a London department store that was founded in 1860 in Kensington High Street and was famous for its Roof Garden which opened in 1938. In 1973 the store was closed and became home to Big Biba, which closed in 1975. The site was developed into smaller stores and offices. Origins In 1853 Joseph Toms opened a small drapery shop on Kensington High Street. In 1862 Joseph Toms joined forces with his brother-in-law, Charles Derry, to set up Derry & Toms. By 1870 the business had grown to incorporate seven of the surrounding stores, with one of the buildings being used as a mourning department. The company prided itself as being the supplier of goods to the upper class of Kensington. History In 1920 John Barker & Co., the department store next door, acquired Derry & Toms. The firm already owned Pontings, which was adjacent to Derry & Toms on the other side. In 1919 Derry & Toms employed the services of poster artist F Gregory Brown to produce advertising. His advert The Daintiest of Legwear at Derry & Toms sold for £6,240 at Bonhams in 2007. In 1930, building work was started and the new, seven-storey building on Kensington High Street opened in 1933. The building was designed by Bernard George in an Art Deco style popular at the time, and featured metalwork by Walter Gilbert and panel reliefs, entitled Labour & Technology, by Charles Henry Mabey Jr. The building is most famous for its Roof Gardens, which opened in 1938 and still exist today. The garden was designed by landscape architect Ralph Hancock after the managing director of Barkers, Trevor Bowen, visited Rockefeller Center in New York. The main restaurant, situated on the fifth floor, was called The Rainbow Room and became a venue for thousands of "Dinner & Dances" (banquets), for both private firms and government departments. In 1957 John Barker & Co was bought by House of Fraser, bringing Derry & Toms under their stewardship. The store was sold in 1971 to Biba. Derry & Toms continued to operate until 1973, when it finally closed. It was replaced in 1974 by Big Biba, which itself closed in 1975. Developer British Land developed the site into offices and shops. The location is now used by Marks & Spencer, H&M, Japan House London, and Gap, and as offices for Sony Music UK and Warner Music Group. In 2012, the American luxury fitness chain Equinox opened its first UK location on the fifth floor. Since 1978 the roof garden has been listed as Grade II, and since 1981 the building has been a Grade II* listed building. The name of one of the founders of the former store is preserved in the adjacent Derry Street.

Derry & Toms

Derry & Toms was een Londens warenhuis dat in 1853 werd opgericht in Kensington High Street en beroemd was om zijn Roof Garden die in 1938 werd geopend. In 1973 werd de winkel gesloten en werd het de thuisbasis van Big Biba, die in 1975 sloot. De site werd ontwikkeld tot kleinere winkels en kantoren. Geschiedenis In 1853 opende Joseph Toms een kleine textielwinkel in Kensington High Street. In 1862 bundelde Joseph Toms de krachten met zijn zwager, Charles Derry, om Derry & Toms op te richten. In 1870 was het bedrijf uitgegroeid tot zeven van de omliggende winkels, waarbij een van de gebouwen werd gebruikt als rouwafdeling. Het bedrijf ging er prat op de leverancier van goederen aan de hogere klasse van Kensington te zijn. In 1920 werd Derry & Toms gekocht door het ernaast gelegen warenhuis John Barker & Co. Dit bedrijf was al eigenaar van warenhuis Pontings, dat aan de andere kant grensde aan Derry & Toms. In 1919 maakte Derry & Toms gebruik van de diensten van affichekunstenaar F Gregory Brown om reclame te maken. Zijn advertentie The Daintiest of Legwear bij Derry & Toms werd in 2007 verkocht voor £6.240 bij veilinghuis Bonhams. In 1930 werd begonnen met de bouw van het zeven verdiepingen tellende gebouw aan Kensington High Street. Het nieuwe warenhuis werd in 1933 geopend. Het gebouw is ontworpen door Bernard George in een destijds populaire art-decostijl, en bevatte metaalwerk van Walter Gilbert en paneelreliëfs, getiteld Labor & Technology, door Charles Henry Mabey Jr. Het gebouw is het meest bekend om zijn daktuinen, die in 1838 openden en bestaan anno 2022 nog steeds. De tuin is ontworpen door landschapsarchitect Ralph Hancock nadat de algemeen directeur van Barkers, Trevor Bowen, het Rockefeller Center in New York bezocht. Het hoofdrestaurant, gelegen op de vijfde verdieping, heette "The Rainbow Room" en werd een locatie voor duizenden "Dinner & Dances" (banketten), zowel voor particuliere bedrijven als voor overheidsdiensten. In 1957 werd John Barker & Co gekocht door House of Fraser, waardoor Derry & Toms onder hun hoede kwamen. De winkel werd in 1971 verkocht aan Biba. Derry & Toms bleef actief tot 1973, totdat het uiteindelijk werd gesloten. Het werd in 1974 vervangen door modewinkel Big Biba, dat zelf in 1975 sloot. Ontwikkelaar British Land ontwikkelde het gebouw tot kantoren en winkels. De locatie wordt nu gebruikt door Marks & Spencer, H&M en Gap, en als kantoren voor Sony Music UK en Warner Music Group. In 2012 opende de Amerikaanse luxe fitnessketen Equinox haar eerste vestiging in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op de vijfde verdieping. Sinds 1978 is de daktuin geklasseerd als Grade II, en sinds 1981 is het gebouw een Grade II* monumentaal pand. De naam van een van de oprichters van de voormalige winkel is bewaard gebleven in de aangrenzende Derry Street.
Derwent House, Matlock

Derwent Island House

Derwent Island House (often called Derwent Isle House) is a Grade II listed 18th-century Italianate house situated on the seven-acre (three-hectare) Derwent Island, Derwent Water, Keswick, Cumbria, and in the ownership of the National Trust. It is leased as a private home, but is open to the public five days a year. The interior is neoclassical in style. History Derwent Island was owned by Fountains Abbey and used by monks, but with the dissolution of the monasteries, it became property of the Crown in 1539. In 1569 it was sold to the Company of Mines Royal a subsidiary of a German mining company. The German miners built a camp on the island where they kept animals, grew vegetables and brewed beer. In 1778 Joseph Pocklington bought the island (then known as Vicar's Island) from Miles Ponsonby for £300. He built a house, boathouse, fort and battery, and Druid circle folly on the land. The house was one of the earliest villas to be built in the Lake District, an entry in Pocklington's notebooks suggests that he saw a house on Belle Isle (in nearby Windermere lake) in 1776, perhaps inspiring his own ambition for a house on a Lake District island. Pocklington held annual regattas on the lake at which he fired off his cannon and the small fort used for mock battles. Pocklington sold the island to William Peachy in 1796, a friend of poet Robert Southey. Henry Cowper Marshall purchased the island in 1844 and employed architect Anthony Salvin to add east and west wings and a three-storey tower to the house. In 1951, Mr Marshall's grandson Denis Marshall gave the property to the National Trust. During the 20th century, the house was a summer residence for several members of the Grindlay family who leased it from the Marshalls. William Wordsworth William Wordsworth was upset by the building, feeling it spoiled the view, and described Pocklington as "a native of Nottinghamshire, who played strange pranks by his buildings and plantations upon Vicar's Island, in Derwentwater, which his admiration, such as it was, of the country, and probably a wish to be a leader in a new fashion, had tempted him to purchase."

Desborough Castle

Desborough Castle is an Iron Age hill fort which lies on the southern side of the valley of the River Wye in Buckinghamshire, which runs through the Chiltern Hills from The Ridgeway and Vale of Aylesbury to the river Thames. Details Desborough Castle consists of a Norman ringwork, partly overlying a mound, possibly a barrow reused as a Saxon moot. Both lie within a square enclosure, possibly an Iron Age or Late Bronze Age settlement or stock enclosure. This valley has always been an important communication route, and has had a known trackway running through since the Bronze Age. The fort lies within what is these days a landscaped grass area, just below the Castlefield council estate and looks over High Wycombe. Listing Desborough Castle was listed in 1933 by the Office of Works as a scheduled monument dues to its importance as an archaeological site. The site suffers from frequent vandalism and fly tipping, and in 2020 Historic England added the castle to its Heritage at Risk Register due to "major localised problems".
