Château de Lambton

Le château de Lambton, qui se dresse au-dessus de Chester-le-Street, dans le comté de Durham, est une demeure seigneuriale, siège ancestral de la famille Lambton, les comtes de Durham. Il est un bâtiment classé, Grade II*. Histoire Construit en grande partie entre 1820 et 1828 par John George Lambton, premier comte de Durham et ancien gouverneur général du Canada, il est bâti autour de Harraton Hall, un manoir du XVIIe siècle. Le château est conçu par les architectes Joseph Bonomi l'Ancien et son fils Ignace et construit dans le style d'un château normand, comme c'est la mode de l'époque. Les ajouts ultérieurs à la maison construite par Sydney Smirke en 1862-1865, dont la grande salle, sont en grande partie démolis en 1932. La structure avait souffert d'un affaissement. Dans les années 1930, la famille déménage à Biddick Hall situé au sein du domaine. Le parc qui entoure le château est bordé par un haut mur. De 1972 à 1980, le terrain a accueilli une entreprise qui a fermé ses portes, Lambton Lion Park. Plus tard, la famille vend Biddick Woods, permettant une liaison routière de l'A182 à l'A690 à Houghton-le-Spring et de nouvelles unités commerciales. En 2012, le château est le théâtre du drama de BBC One, The Paradise.

Castel Lambton

Castel Lambton (in inglese Lambton Castle) si trova a North Lodge tra il centro storico di Sunderland nella contea metropolitana di Tyne and Wear e Chester-le-Street nella Contea di Durham, Inghilterra del nord-est. La sua costruzione risale al XVIII secolo. Storia Secondo la leggenda John de Lambton visse in questo territorio attorno al 1180 e dopo di lui si racconta di Sir John Lambton, noto come Cavaliere di Rodi, che durante il 1400 avrebbe ucciso il drago di Lambton. Il castello si trova sul sito dell'ex Harraton Hall, abitazione ancestrale del casato che divenne proprietà della famiglia Lambton nel XVII secolo. La famiglia è una delle più affermate della regione anche grazie alle fortune accumulate con l'industria del carbone. Alla fine del XVIII secolo il padre del primo conte di Durham, William Lambton, ereditò la tenuta e decise di far costruire una nuova e grandiosa residenza di famiglia. Si rivolse all'architetto italiano Joseph Bonomi il Vecchio che, con la collaborazione del figlio Ignatius, progettò il sontuoso castello nella stessa posizione che aveva occupato la Hall. Negli anni settanta il parco del castello divenne noto come Lambton Lion Park, uno zoo safari che ebbe discreta fortuna sinché rimase aperto. Descrizione Il castello è una dimora signorile a North Lodge tra Sunderland e Chester-le-Street nell'Inghilterra del nord-est ed è la sede della famiglia Lambton, i conti di Durham. Molte delle antiche strutture sono state demolite. Le torri merlate all'estremità del portico furono ricostruite per armonizzarsi con la facciata che era stata conservata, più stretta dell'originale. La casa padronale fu costruita tra il 1820 e il 1828 secondo lo stile del castello normanno, come era di moda all'epoca. Il parco attorno alla casa padronale è recintato da un alto muro e viene utilizzato per l'annuale caccia al fagiano. Questo parco privato si estende per circa 1.500 acri, costituito da estesi boschi, parchi, laghi e stagni e occupa i lati nord e sud del fiume Wear. Bene tutelato come edificio storico L'English Heritage lo ha classificato come edificio storico di secondo grado.

Lamplighters Marsh

Lamplighters Marsh (grid reference ST524764) is a public open space and local nature reserve near Shirehampton in the city of Bristol, England. It is a narrow strip of land between the railway line which connects Bristol to Avonmouth, and the River Avon. Flora and fauna Lamplighter's Marsh has two main types of vegetation: an area of marsh, which contains a varied plant community, including water parsnip and wild celery, and an area of wasteland which is also botanically notable, with species including narrow-leaved everlasting-pea. The Severn Way footpath and cycleway sits alongside the river, passing through Lamplighter's Marsh where the path is called the "yellow brick road". Viper's bugloss, moth mullein and hornet moth are among the scarce and notable species recorded at the site. The presence of the grass sea couch are a sign of the influence of the nearby Severn Estuary. Bee orchids grow in the area of grassland now known as the Daisy Field lying between the railway and the Portway. Local birdwatchers have recorded a number of species including common swift, Eurasian siskin, common redshank, Eurasian curlew, Eurasian sparrowhawk, great cormorant and goldcrest. The site is designed a Site of Nature Conservation Interest and a Local Nature Reserve. History Lamplighter's Marsh was utilised as grazing marsh up to the modern era. In the 18th century the small, brick-making village of West Town took up part of the site, it has gone now but is recalled in the name of the West Town Road. When the First World War broke out the British Army established a remount Depot at Shirehampton. The depot imported, trained and sent out horses on active service with the army and it was very large, extending from Station Road all the way to the Portway roundabout, including the area now known as the Daisy Field. In the Second World War Lamplighter's Marsh was used to tether barrage balloons which were to protect the nearby docks from bombing by the Luftwaffe and some of the concrete blocks used to anchor these balloons are still on the site. In the post-war years some of Lamplighter's Marsh became a landfill site and when this closed in 1976 the regeneration of the area started. References
Lamport Hall

Lamport Hall à Lamport, dans le Northamptonshire, est une maison classée Grade I. Elle est développée à partir d'un manoir Tudor mais est maintenant remarquable pour sa façade classique. La maison contient une collection exceptionnelle de livres, de peintures et de meubles. Le bâtiment comprend The High Room avec un magnifique plafond de William Smith. Il possède également une bibliothèque avec des volumes du XVIe siècle et un cabinet du début du XIXe siècle avec des cabinets napolitains qui représentent des peintures mythologiques sur verre. Elle est ouverte au public. Lamport Hall est la maison de la famille Isham de 1560 à 1976. Sir Charles Isham, 10e baronnet est crédité d'avoir lancé la tradition des nains de jardin au Royaume-Uni lorsqu'il introduit un certain nombre de figurines en terre cuite d'Allemagne dans les années 1840 . Histoire En 1568, John Isham, un riche marchand de laine, construit un manoir sur le domaine de Lamport. Son petit-fils, également nommé John, devient le premier baronnet en 1627 sous le règne de Charles Ier. Il agrandit considérablement la maison. Cependant, le seul vestige de cette structure est une section de l'aile stable actuelle. C'est Sir Justinian Isham qui construit le bâtiment principal existant. En 1655, il charge John Webb, un élève d'Inigo Jones, de concevoir une grande maison à deux étages. Les ajouts majeurs concernaient la façade sud-ouest et nord et sont achevés en 1741. Les portes de la route principale datent de 1824 et sont conçues par Henry Hakewill . En 1842, une autre reconstruction majeure de la façade sud-est est achevée, et plus tard Sir Charles Isham commande la construction d'une nouvelle façade avec porche sur la façade nord-ouest, qui est maintenant l'entrée principale distinctive de la salle. Cela est achevé en 1862. La tour est construite à peu près à la même époque . Vers 1950, la maison s'est considérablement détériorée et le propriétaire de l'époque, Sir Gyles Isham, entreprend d'importants travaux de rénovation et ouvre le rez-de-chaussée au public en 1974. À sa mort en 1976, il laisse le bâtiment et son contenu au Lamport Hall Preservation Trust, qui s'occupe aujourd'hui de la maison et des jardins. En 1867, un certain nombre de volumes rares de prose et de poésie élisabéthaine sont trouvés dans un grenier . Celles-ci comprenaient les premières éditions reliées en peau de mouton par John Milton - Paradise Lost et Paradise Regained .

Lancaster (Forton) Services

Lancaster (Forton) services is a motorway service station, between junctions 32 and 33 of the M6 motorway in England. The nearest city is Lancaster, about 7 miles (11 km) to the north. The site is operated by Moto. Like many older service stations, it has an all-weather enclosed bridge which enables pedestrians to use both the northbound and southbound facilities. In 2005 this bridge had work carried out to strengthen it to withstand the impact of a heavy goods vehicle. History Construction Forton Services was built on the Preston-Lancaster section of the M6. Junction 33 (A6) is to the north and junction 32 (M55) is to the south. The site's eastern edge is the boundary between Wyre district and City of Lancaster district. The architect was T.P. Bennett and Son. The company's first design for service areas was Strensham services; Forton was its second. It was originally operated by Top Rank Motor Inns. In September 1964, company chairman John Davis announced that all Rank Organisation motorway service areas would have showers and toilets for lorry drivers, starting with Forton. The company felt that lorry drivers were often overlooked, and that lorry drivers previously had a 'smoke and a sandwich in a lay-by'. Farthing Corner on the M2 was the first Top Rank motorport to open, followed by Knutsford Services. The section of the motorway was finished three months ahead of schedule and opened on the afternoon of 29 January 1965. The catering facilities at Forton services were not due to be completed before April 1965, however, the two petrol stations were able to open at the same time as the motorway, with the name Forton services. It was the second service station to open on the motorway (Charnock Richard being the first), and is named after the nearby village of Forton. It fully opened on Wednesday 14 July 1965, with 276 staff, and manager 36-year-old David Beatson, educated at Sale Grammar School. Structure The services is notable for an unusual hexagonal concrete tower on the northbound side, named The Pennine Tower, which originally housed an up-market restaurant and a sun deck. The tower was designed to resemble an air traffic control tower and is a prominent local landmark. The tower is 74 feet (23 m) across. The tower closed to the public in 1989 due to current fire regulations (there is no means of providing an alternative exit from the restaurant deck in an emergency), and is only used for storage and occasional staff training. The tower was built to give views over Morecambe Bay to the west and the Trough of Bowland to the east. In late 2016, Moto refreshed the services and painted the tower in a beige colour whilst also refurbishing one of the passenger lifts. The tower was listed Grade II on 15 October 2012.

Lancaster Cemetery Chapels

The Lancaster Cemetery Chapels are the three chapels, each built to serve a different denomination, in the main cemetery of Lancaster, England. The chapels stand around a central point at the highest part of the cemetery. They were all built in 1854–55, and were designed by the local architect E. G. Paley. The chapel to the west of the central point served the Anglicans, that to the east the Non-conformists, and the chapel to the north was for Roman Catholics. Architecture All the chapels are constructed in coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings. They have slate roofs, and are in Gothic Revival style. The western chapel has a cruciform plan, with the entrance porch facing east. It has angle buttresses and coped gables. A continuous string course runs round the chapel at the level of the window sills. The windows in the north and south walls are triple stepped lancets. In the west gable is a wheel window. The porch is long, with open arcades along the sides supported by polished granite shafts. In the gable of the porch is a poppyhead, and on its apex stands a cross finial. The eastern chapel is a mirror image of the western chapel. The northern chapel is simpler, having a rectangular plan, with a narrow projection to the north and a porch facing south. All the windows are lancets. There are cross finials on the east and west gables. Each of the chapels is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.

Lancaster City Museum

Lancaster City Museum is a museum in Lancaster, Lancashire, England. It is housed in the former Lancaster Town Hall building in Market Square. History The Old Town Hall building in which the museum is housed is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. It was designed by Major Thomas Jarrett and built between 1781 and 1783, with a cupola added in 1782 to a design by Thomas Harrison. It was extended in 1871 and 1886. In 1910 the functions of the Town Hall were transferred to a new building in nearby Dalton Square. The old Town Hall was converted into a museum in 1923. The building is a two-storey structure built from sandstone ashlar, fronted by a projecting tetrastyle Tuscan portico. The façade presents five bays with round-arched windows and, in the centre under the portico, a round-arched door at the top of a set of four steps. The cupola surmounting the building has a square base with a second octagonal stage on the side of which is a clock face. Above is a round drum surrounded by a rotunda of Ionic columns, capped by a dome. The hour-striking turret clock dates from 1851 and is still hand wound each week; its maker's plate reads 'Wm Poulton, Lancaster, 1851' and a separate plate records it as 'The Gift of Henry Gregson Esq, Mayor, 1851'. The ground floor was originally open and contained an arcade housing a market for grain and butter. The openings to the arcade were later filled with the current ground-floor windows. The building has served a number of purposes over the years; as well as housing Lancaster's Council Chamber and subsequently the City Museum, it also housed the town court (complete with lock-ups) and branches of Barclays Bank (until 1969) and the National Westminster Bank (until 1977). Collections The museum was founded in 1923, and its collections illustrate the archaeology and history of the city and surrounding areas. Among its highlights is the Lancaster Roman Tombstone, a memorial dating from c. 100 AD which was found locally in 2005. It depicts a Roman soldier on horseback with a decapitated opponent at his feet, and is described as "an iconic piece of Lancaster's dramatic past [giving] a crucial insight into the history of the county." The museum was also successful in acquiring the Viking-era Silverdale Hoard, discovered in the City of Lancaster district in 2011, for its collection. The collections also include the King's Own Royal Regiment Museum. The Museums, Libraries and Archives Council granted the museum "Accredited" status; since 1 October 2011 accreditation is a responsibility of Arts Council England.

Lancaster House, Manchester

Lancaster House on Whitworth Street in Manchester, England, is a former packing and shipping warehouse built between 1905 and 1910 for Lloyd's Packing Warehouses Limited, which had, by merger, become the dominant commercial packing company in early 20th-century Manchester. It is in the favoured Edwardian Baroque style and constructed with a steel frame clad with granite at the base and Accrington red brick and orange terracotta. The back of the building is plain red brick. It is a Grade II* listed building as of 3 October 1974. The building was designed by Harry S. Fairhurst, who had become "the leading expert in the design of these advanced warehouses". Fairhurst was also responsible for Bridgewater House opposite, the neighbouring India House and, perhaps, Asia House, although that building has also been attributed to I.R.E. Birkett. Fairhurst's huge buildings are "steel-framed and built to high-quality fireproof specifications". Lancaster House shares a common plinth and eaves with its neighbour, India House and is connected by an ornate, two storeys tall circular Art Nouveau wrought iron gate with a pendant lamp. The building has since been converted into residential flats and separated into two buildings that are seven storeys tall. The first is located on 71 Whitworth Street and the second is located on the adjoining street of 80 Princess Street. The corner entrance below currently provides access to a public house named O'Sheas Irish Bar. Lancaster House is part of a conservation area in Manchester city centre that reflects the historical importance of the textile industry in the city. The conservation area was designated by Manchester City Council in September 1974, and was bounded by Oxford Street, Portland Street, Abingdon Street, Bloom Street, Chorlton Street, Cobourg Street and the Piccadilly to Oxford Road railway viaduct. It was extended in June 1985 to include an area bounded by Whitworth Street, London Road and the above viaduct. The nearest train stations to Lancaster House are Oxford Road 0.2 miles (0.32 km) and Manchester Piccadilly 0.4 miles (0.64 km).
