Lion Island (Old Windsor)

Lion Island is a small uninhabited island in the River Thames in England on the reach above Old Windsor Lock, near Old Windsor, Berkshire. The island is a thin wooded strip separated by a narrow channel on the north bank. It is just above Old Windsor Weir and the head of New Cut which leads to Old Windsor Lock. The island is the relict of three long parallel islands which existed at this point before the creation of the Old Windsor Lock cut. One of these was called Nickcroft Ait, and an obstruction known as "Newman's Bucks" existed between two of them See also Islands in the River Thames References
Lion Yard

The Lion Yard shopping centre is a covered shopping centre in the city centre of Cambridge, England. Construction work on the centre, which is bounded by St Andrew's Street, Corn Exchange Street, and Petty Cury, commenced in 1970 and the development contained a library, multi-storey car park and magistrates' court. It predates and is significantly smaller than either the Grafton Centre or the Grand Arcade. The latter connects directly to Lion Yard. The Grafton Centre is situated just outside the city centre. For many years a central feature of the atrium was a white pillar with the statue of a large red lion on the top of it, safely out of easy reach. This recalled the Red Lion pub which had occupied the site until demolished in 1969. The lion statue was removed in 1999 and is now at the Cambridge University rugby club's ground on Grange Road. A red lion is an emblem of the University of Cambridge and the crest of its rugby club. Lion Yard was refurbished in the late 1990s/early 2000s. A covered shopping centre, the Grand Arcade mentioned above, adjoins Lion Yard on its south side; the two are interconnected. The main shopping mall is centred around an atrium which benefits from four entrances and exits. The retail element is concentrated on the ground floor; however, the Central Library can be accessed from the first floor of Lion Yard along with retailers Ellis Brigham, The North Face and New Look. The Centre consists of a three-storey office block (Lion House and St George House), an undercover external colonnade taking up one half of Petty Cury, external shops opposite St Andrew the Great Church, many high street retailers internally along with housing the seventh busiest library in the UK.

Lions House, Bridgwater

The Lions House on West Quay in Bridgwater, Somerset, England was built around 1725 and has been designated as a Grade I listed building. It was built between 1720 and 1730 in a Baroque style by Benjamin Holloway, as his house and was later occupied by several Mayors of Bridgwater. Holloway was employed by the Duke of Chandos to build and possibly design the houses in nearby Castle Street. The two-storey house is of five bays with single storey wings on either side of front door which is approached via a flight of steps. It is built of Flemish-bond brick of alternate red and yellow, beneath a double-pitched pantile roof. At the front of the house are 20th-century low panelled and corniced gatepiers which carry Chinese-style dogs (The Lions). The building is now known as Benjamin Holloway House. Parts of the building have been converted for commercial use and include a dentists and a professional services firm. The Lion statues have been used as the inspiration for an exhibit by artist Rebecca Moss as part of Somerset Art Week. They are made in concrete to link to the local industrial heritage and the nearby Castle House, which was one of the first buildings to make extensive use of Portland cement for pre-cast concrete.

Community of the Resurrection

Die Community of the Resurrection (deutsch Gemeinschaft der Auferstehung) ist eine anglikanische Glaubensgemeinschaft für Männer. Geschichte Sie wurde 1892 von insgesamt sechs Glaubensbrüdern, darunter dem charismatischen Charles Gore und Walter Howard Frere (1863–1938, später Bischof von Truro) in Radley-Vicarage gegründet. 1898 wurde das Anwesen in Mirfield bezogen, um möglichst nahe bei den damals blühenden industriellen Zentren zu sein. Von Anfang an suchte die Gruppe die Öffentlichkeit, indem sie dort Gottesdienste abhielt oder ihre handwerklichen Erzeugnisse ausstellte. Von Beginn an baute man ein Netzwerk mit Auslands-Gemeinschaften auf. Die erste war in Südafrika, zurzeit sind es 35. In Deutschland kooperiert man mit der Benediktinerabtei St. Matthias in Trier. Leben In der Gemeinschaft besteht eine Tagesordnung, die zwischen Andacht, Arbeit und Ruhe abwechselt. Die recht weltoffene Lebensweise unterscheidet sich auch im Tagesablauf deutlich von der Lebensform „Vita contemplativa“ anderer Mönche. Bis 1945 wurde von allen Mitgliedern der Gemeinschaft ein jährliches Gelübde entgegengenommen. Als die Mitgliederzahlen zurückgingen, stellte man dieses Verfahren gegen ein „freiwilliges Versprechen“ ein. Heute heißt das Versprechen in etwa: „… um in der Gemeinschaft für das Leben nach ihren Regeln leben zu bleiben“. Das dem Orden angegliederte College of the Resurrection in Mirfield war die erste theologische Hochschule in England, die ihre zukünftigen Priester ausbildete, ohne Studiengebühren oder andere Mittel zu erheben. Einer der bekanntesten Besucher war der Theologe und profilierte Vertreter der Bekennenden Kirche Dietrich Bonhoeffer im Jahr 1930.

Richard Durning's Endowed Primary School

Richard Durning's Endowed Primary School is Voluntary controlled school for 3-11 year olds in Bispham Green in Lancashire in the United Kingdom. It was founded in 1692, when Richard Durning left £100 in his will for a school. History The school was founded in 1692 and was endowed with £100 from Richard Dunning's will. The building was in Bispham, next to the Inn. By 1825 the school had 35 boys attending, but was described as being in decline. The commissioners report in 1868 was grim, describing the school as one of the best endowed but least efficient. Children attending were from poor families: their parents were quarrymen, colliers, farmers and labourers. Boys and girls had previously been taught together but were now taught separately. The commissioner wrote that attendance was irregular, especially for the older girls. In 2016 the school received an "Outstanding" grade from Ofsted. References

Derwentside Immigration Removal Centre

Derwentside Immigration Removal Centre (Derwentside IRC) is a detention facility in County Durham used to house women waiting for deportation from the UK. Opened in late 2021 despite opposition from Durham County Council, the facility was initially operated by Mitie under a two-year contract. In 2023, the operation of the facility was taken over by Serco, who were awarded a nine-year contract with Immigration Enforcement to operate the site. As of 2021, the site had capacity for 84 women. Controversies In March 2022, it was revealed that Mitie was under investigation by the Competition and Markets Authority for alleged anti-competitive conduct pertaining to the bidding for the initial contract to operate Derwentside. A Mitie spokesperson clarified that the company felt confident that they had "no case to answer for". In February 2023, the CMA closed its investigation, concluding that there were no grounds for further action. Following an unannounced visit in August 2022, HM Chief Inspector of Prisons expressed a number of concerns pertaining to the facility. Inspectors criticised the remoteness of the facility, which meant that women housed there were not able to receive many visits, and that mobile phone reception was poor. Use of force at the facility was not always carried out in a professional manner and oversight was lacking. Nevertheless, inspectors concluded that staff had "mostly good relationships" with detainees. In December 2022, roughly a dozen campaigners protested at the site, warning that the removal centre causes distress for vulnerable people. In October 2024, hundreds of protesters gathered at the site. Campaigners expressed concerns that the rural facility was "cruel, isolating and unnecessary" and that between 70 and 80 per cent of detainees would be released back into UK communities. Responding to the protest, a Home Office spokesperson announced that plans for the site were "under review" following the change in government in July 2024. Hassockfield Secure Training Centre The site was registered as the Hassockfield Secure Training Centre with the CQC on 22 March 2011, and operated as a custodial institution for young offenders. The facility closed in 2015. References

Scarcroft Primary School

Scarcroft Primary School is a coeducational primary school housed in a Grade II* listed building on Moss Street, just south-west of the city centre of York, in England. History In 1895, the York School Board leased the Victoria Bar Primitive Methodist Connexion mission room on Nunnery Lane, for the education of 150 children. In August 1896, this was replaced by the newly built Scarcroft Road Board School, at the north-eastern end of Micklegate Stray. The school was designed to accommodate 1,200 children in 21 classrooms and two halls. Numbers grew slowly, with only 168 children enrolled in 1897, reaching 1,175 by 1910. At the time, it accommodated both primary and secondary age pupils. After World War II, the senior section ceased accepting girls, and the building was divided between Scarcroft County Primary School and Scarcroft Secondary Modern Boys School. The building was designed by Walter Brierley, and Nikolaus Pevsner describes it as "his masterpiece", with "one of the most striking and original elevations in York". It is in the Queen Anne style. The building is built of brick. The central part of the building, the hall range, is of two tall storeys, and there are wings either side, of three storeys, with attics. At both ends of the wings, smaller wings project. The hall is lit by three large windows, and there are corner turrets on its roof. There is also a central clock tower. Most of the windows are original, and the interior also retains many original fixtures and fittings. The building was Grade II* listed in 1968. The playground walls, gates and railings, also designed by Brierley, were Grade II listed in 1997. In 2017, the school was refurbished, with two extra classrooms added in the existing building. Part of the car park was converted into an additional playground. In 2022, the school had 384 pupils aged between 4 and 11. It is part of the South Bank Multi-Academy Trust, which includes Knavesmire Primary School and Millthorpe School.
