Totnes Museum

Totnes Museum (formerly Totnes Elizabethan House and Museum) is a local museum in the town of Totnes, south Devon, in southwest England. The museum is housed in a Grade I listed Elizabethan merchant's house that was built c.1575 for the Kelland family. The house still has many original features. In 1958 Totnes Town Council purchased the Elizabethan House and carefully restored it to its former glory. In 1961 the Elizabethan House would open to the public as Totnes Museum. Today Totnes Museum is run by the charitable organisation Totnes Museum Trust and is free admission. Totnes Museum extends over two buildings and three floors including twelve gallery rooms, a courtyard, and a herb garden. Towards the back of Totnes Museum is Totnes Archive. The collections date from 5000BC to the present day. These range from early archaeological finds, coins minted in Totnes during Saxon times, Elizabethan artifacts and Victorian ephemera. The museum aims to entertain and educate visitors with the cultural, economic, and social history of Totnes. The museum various museum galleries include the Forehall, a Kitchen exhibition and the Babbage Room, which presents a history of Charles Babbage, the Victorian mathematician who invented the Difference Engine and Analytical Engine, working with Ada Lovelace. This was the mechanical precursors of the modern computer. Babbage spent his youth in Totnes and studied at King Edward VI Grammar School there. Totnes Archive The site also contains the Totnes Archive at the rear of the building which contains information for study of Totnes, South Devon and other related material – books, fiches, transcripts, photographs, and local newspapers from 1860 – of particular interest to those seeking information on Totnes history, buildings and their own family connections in the area. The Totnes Archive is open for public drop-ins on Thursdays and Fridays. Totnes Museum's Garden Totnes Museum also has a garden which can be visited all year round at the back of the museum. The Garden has many herbs once found in gardens of the Elizabethan period among various other plants. Totnes Museum's garden is looked after by volunteers. Haunted Museum? Totnes Museum is also reportedly haunted by visitors. Some of the paranormal experiences often reported include supernatural seasickness caused by a ships mast used by the spiral stairs and a variety of ghosts. These are reportedly cats, an angry man, a little boy and a little girl. To this day paranormal investigations take place throughout the museum.

Tottenham Marshes

The Tottenham Marshes are located at Tottenham in the London Borough of Haringey. The marshes cover over 100 acres (0.40 km2) and became part of the Lee Valley Park in 1972. The marsh is made up of three main areas: Clendish Marsh, Wild Marsh West and Wild Marsh East. The latter two are separated by the River Lea. Description The marshes are one of the last remaining examples of semi-natural wetland in Greater London. They contain a variety of plant communities typical of a former flood plain location, such as a range of neutral grassland types, sedge marsh, reed swamp, sallow scrub and areas of tall herb vegetation. Associated with this diversity of habitat are several species of plant and insect which are rarely seen in London. History The 100 acres (0.40 km2) of marshes were originally a flood plain of the River Lea. But significant changes have been made over the years. Between the 1860s and 1930 a range of facilities including tennis courts and swimming were available but after World War II between 1946 and 1960 the area was used for gravel extraction and landfill. In the late 19th century the Wild Marsh East was bisected when the River Lea was diverted to accommodate the construction of some of the Lee Valley Reservoir Chain. The marsh was the first home ground of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club in 1882. The Lee Valley Regional Park Authority (LVRPA), created by an Act of Parliament in 1965, bought Tottenham Marshes in 1972. Ecology Plants Many species of plants can be found on the marsh including: Wall bedstraw (Galium parisiense) Yellow vetchling (Lathyrus aphaca) Bee orchid (Ophrys apifera) Babington's poppy (Papaver dubilum) Wurzell's wormwood (Artemisia vulgaris × verlotiorum) Butterflies Brown argus (Aricia agestis) Birds Skylark (Alauda arvensis) Short-eared owl (Asio flammeus) References External links Friends of Tottenham Marshes Tottenham Marshes information
Marismas de Tottenham

Las marismas de Tottenham se encuentran en Tottenham en el municipio londinense de Haringey. Cubren un área de más de 0,40 km² y forman parte del Lee Valley Park desde 1972.​ Esta zona pantanosa está formada por tres áreas principales: Clendish Marsh, Wild West y Marsh East y estas dos últimas se encuentran divididas por el río Lee. Descripción Las marismas son uno de los últimos lugares semi-naturales sobrevivientes de los humedales originales del Gran Londres y poseen una gran variedad de comunidades vegetales típicas de las antiguas áreas inundables de la zona, como una gama de tipos de pastizales neutros, juncos de pantanos, cañas de pantano, matorrales cetrinos y áreas de vegetación de hierbas altas. Asociadas a esta diversidad de hábitat hay aquí varias especies de plantas e insectos que rara vez son vistos en el resto de Londres.​ Historia Estas marismas de 0,40 km² originalmente eran un terreno inundado por el río Lee. Pero con el paso de los años se realizaron importantes cambios en el área, entre los años 1860 y 1930 se construyó una serie de instalaciones que incluían canchas de tenis y balnearios; pero luego de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, entre 1946 y 1960, la zona fue utilizada como lugar para la extracción de grava y como un vertedero de basura. A finales del siglo XIX el Wild Marsh East fue dividido en dos, cuando redirigieron el río Lee para disponer el predio para la construcción de algunas infraestructuras que formarían el futuro Lee Valley Reservoir Chain (Cadena reservoria del valle del río Lee). Además esta marisma fue el primer sitio donde se radicó el club Tottenham Hotspur Football Club en 1882.​ La autoridad Lee Valley Regional Park Authority (LVRPA por sus siglas en inglés), cunstituida por un acta del parlamento en 1965, adquirió el Tottenham Marshes en el año 1972.​ Ecología Varias especies de plantas se desarrollan en los inmediaciones de la marisma, entre ellas Galium parisiene, Lathyrus aphaca, orquídeas como Ophrys apifera, las florales Papaver dubilum y arbustos como Artemisia vulgaris entre otras. Por otro lado, la marisma es el hábitat de la mariposa Brown Argus, y de algunas especies de aves como la alondra común y el búho campestre.

Marais de Tottenham

Les marais de Tottenham sont situés à Tottenham dans le quartier londonien de Haringey. Les marais couvrent plus de 40 hectares et sont devenus une partie du Lea Valley Park en 1972. Le marais est composé de trois zones principales: le marais Clendish, le marais sauvage ouest et le marais sauvage est. Les deux derniers sont séparés par la rivière Lea. Description Les marais sont l'un des derniers exemples de zones humides semi-naturelles du Grand Londres. Ils contiennent une variété de communautés végétales typiques d'une ancienne plaine inondable, telles qu'une gamme de types de prairies neutres, un carex, un marécage de roseaux, une garrigue et des zones de hautes herbes. À cette diversité d'habitat sont associées plusieurs espèces de plantes et d'insectes que l'on voit rarement à Londres. Histoire Les 40 hectares de marais étaient à l’origine une plaine inondable de la rivière Lea. Mais des changements importants ont été apportés au fil des ans. Entre les années 1860 et 1930, de nombreuses installations, dont des courts de tennis et de natation, étaient disponibles, mais après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, entre 1946 et 1960, la zone était utilisée pour l'extraction de gravier et les décharges. À la fin du XIXe siècle, le Wild Marsh East a été divisé en deux lorsque la rivière Lea a été détournée pour permettre la construction d'une partie de la chaîne de réservoirs de la Lee Valley. Le marais a été la première patrie du club de football de Tottenham Hotspur en 1882 . L’autorité du parc régional de Lee Valley (LVRPA), créée par une loi de 1965, achète le marais de Tottenham en 1972. Écologie Plantes De nombreuses espèces de plantes peuvent être trouvées sur le marais, notamment: Galium parisiense Lathyrus aphaca Ophrys Apifera Pavot de Babington (Papaver dubilum) Artemisia vulgaris × verlotiorum) Papillons Argus brun (Aricia agestis) Oiseaux Skylark (Alauda arvensis) Hibou des marais (Asio flammeus) Références Liens externes Amis des marais de Tottenham Informations sur les Marais de Tottenham Portail des espaces verts Portail de Londres
Totternhoe Castle

Totternhoe Castle var en normannisk borg i Totternhoe i Bedfordshire i England. I dag er kun jordvoldene bevaret, og de er et Scheduled Monument, da de er en del af Totternhoe Knolls Site of Special Scientific Interest. Totternhoe Castle ligger med udsigt over landsbyen Totternhoe ved byen Dunstable. Det er bygget som en motte-and-baileyfæstning i den normanniske periode, sandsynligvis omkring anarkiet i 1100-tallet. Den havde dog to baileys i stedet for én, som var det normale. En bred grøft beskyttede borgen på tre sider, mens den fjerde side var beskyttet af en sprække i kridtbakken, som den er anlagt på.

Touchstones Rochdale

Touchstones Rochdale is an art gallery, museum, local studies centre, visitor information centre and café forming part of the Central Library, Museum and Art Gallery in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England. It is a Grade II listed building. The first part of the stone building was opened as a library in 1884 with the museum and gallery being added in 1903 and extended in 1913. It became an art and heritage centre in 2003. It houses collections relating to local history and related topics, with changing exhibitions over time. History The library was built first, opening in 1884, after a fire at Rochdale Town Hall destroyed the "Clock Tower Library" in 1883. The art gallery and museum were built and linked to the library in 1903, and an extension added in 1913. The building was converted into an art and heritage centre in 2003. Collections The museum has collections relating to: social history, costume and textiles, archaeology, Egyptology, geology, natural history and decorative arts. It also hosts changing exhibitions.

Tout Quarry

Tout Quarry, now known as Tout Quarry Sculpture Park and Nature Reserve, is a sculpture park and nature reserve based within a disused quarry on the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England. It is located within the north-west corner of Tophill. The sculpture park has existed since 1983, while the site also become a nature reserve around 2004. To date, the quarry displays a collection of various carvings and works in Portland stone. Background Tout Quarry was worked commercially during the 18th and 19th centuries. The quarry was last worked in 1982 for a boulder contract when 30,000 tons were excavated for sea defenses. Portland Sculpture & Quarry Trust began the sculpture park in 1983, saving the quarry from further mineral extraction with the creation of sculptures, and the park officially opened in that year. Many of the original site-specific sculptures can still be discovered today, although some did not last much longer than a year. In places around the quarry, there are numerous ravines leading to the cliff edge. Tramway lines once ran throughout the quarry, taking stone waste to the cliff edge to be tipped or taking block stone to Priory Corner where it was transported along the Merchant's Railway to Castletown, from where it as shipped across the world. The Grade II Listed Lano's Bridge was built in the mid-1800s to carry a high level tramway taking stone waste to the cliff edge. Portland Sculpture and Quarry Trust The Portland Sculpture and Quarry Trust was formed in 1983 when the quarry was turned into a park. The trust is dedicated to "preserving a knowledge and understanding of all aspects of stone and the landscape from which it comes". It operates within the quarry and at its headquarters at the nearby Drill Hall. An outdoor workshop is located within the quarry and is used to run courses from May to September each year. The yearly programme of stone carving and sculpture courses teaches skills in stone carving, direct carving, lettercutting, relief carving and architectural detail. The indoor workspace at the Drill Hall is also used for this purpose. In 2008, the Trust was the runner-up in the British Urban Regeneration Association's awards for community-inspired regeneration. In 2009, the Trust was shortlisted for the British Urban Regeneration Awards Scheme. Sculptures There is estimated to be over 70 different sculptures within the quarry.

Tower Hill Water Tower

Tower Hill Water Tower is a disused water tower and local landmark in Ormskirk, Lancashire, England. Situated on the east side of Tower Hill, it was built between 1853–4 for Ormskirk Local Board of Health, and is reputed to be the oldest remaining water tower in the country. It was awarded Grade II* listed status in 1976, and is on the Heritage at Risk Register. The area immediately surrounding the tower has been used as allotments since the mid-20th century. Structure The tower is built in the Romanesque Revival style, constructed of coursed, squared sandstone, and arranged in a square plan. On each side are two narrow full-height Romanesque arches, all with stepped surrounds and arch-bands, and linked by an impost band. Above the arches is a plain frieze with carved grotesques at the corners, topped with machicolated corbelling. The stone is a pale red and mottled form of Ormskirk Sandstone, probably extracted from nearby Ruff Wood. In its present state, the tower stands at a height of approximately 17 metres (56 ft). Originally, the stonework was surmounted by a metal water tank with a pitched slate-covered roof, which added an extra 6.2 metres (20 ft) to the height of the structure. Due to its poor condition, the tank was removed in the early 1990s. Proposed developments Planning permission was granted in 1988 for the conversion of the tower into a single dwelling, though the scheme was never implemented. Subsequent applications to convert the tower into offices or an apartment block were either refused or withdrawn. An application for conversion into seven apartments was made in 2004, though this was also rejected, and an appeal against the decision was dismissed in April 2008. Development of the site has met with opposition from local residents, and local Conservative councillor Adrian Owens was amongst critics of the 2004 application.

Tower Works

Tower Works is a former factory notable for its three listed towers. It is located on Globe Road in Holbeck, Leeds, West Yorkshire, next to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. The Italianate towers of the factory are a distinctive landmark on the Leeds skyline. The factory was founded by T. R. Harding to make steel pins for carding and combing in the textile industry, and the original buildings, by Thomas Shaw, were erected in 1864–66. Harding's son, Colonel Thomas Walter Harding, employed William Bakewell to extend the works in 1899. The design of the extension was heavily influenced by Harding's love of Italian architecture and art. The most notable features of Tower Works are the three towers that give it its name and served for dust extraction from the factory. The largest and most ornate tower (1899, by Bakewell) is based on Giotto's Campanile in Florence. The smaller ornate tower (1866, by Shaw) known as Verona tower or Boiler House Chimney is styled after the Torre dei Lamberti in Verona. A third plain tower, built as part of Harding's final phase of expansion in 1919, is thought to represent a Tuscan tower house such as can be seen in San Gimignano. All three towers are listed structures, the two ornate towers being Grade II* and the plain tower Grade II. The design for the Giotto Tower included ventilation systems that were way ahead of their time in terms of minimising pollution from the steel works. The chimney incorporated a filter to remove the excess steel dust. In 1895 T. W. Harding & Son amalgamated with two other companies to become Harding, Rhodes & Co. The factory sustained damage in the Second World War when neighbouring buildings were bombed during the air raids on the nearby Leeds railway station. It closed in 1981 after 117 years of operating on the site. Present Tower Works lies at the heart of the Holbeck Urban Village renovation area, it was acquired by Yorkshire Forward in 2005. A masterplan for the site was drawn up by Yorkshire Forward, ISIS Waterside Regeneration and Bauman Lyons Architects for an exemplar sustainable mixed use development. The development agreement between Yorkshire Forward and ISIS fell through and Yorkshire Forward developed the first phase. With the winding up of the regional development agencies, ownership passed to the Homes and Communities Agency who oversaw the completion of the entrance range to provide accommodation for digital and creative companies. In 2014 a new developer was sought to develop the rest of the site. References
Rydal Mount

Rydal Mount ist ein Haus bei Rydal nahe Ambleside im Lake District. Der Dichter William Wordsworth lebte dort von 1813 bis zu seinem Tode 1850. Wordsworth wurde 1770 in Cockermouth in Cumberland geboren und kannte den Lake District seit seiner Kindheit. Wegen seines Studiums an der University of Cambridge zog er 1787 nach Cambridge. Nach dem Studium reiste er durch England und Europa für zwölf Jahre. Danach lebte er acht Jahre in Dove Cottage bei Grasmere (1799–1808). Durch seine wachsende Familie und viele Besucher war er aber gezwungen umzuziehen. Nach einer kurzen Zeit in Allan Bank in Grasmere zogen die Wordsworths 1813 nach Rydal Mount. Rydal Mount wurde 1969 von Mary Henderson (geborene Wordsworth) erworben, einer Ur-Ur-Enkelin des Dichters. Es verbleibt damit im Besitz der Familie Wordsworth und ist seit 1970 der Öffentlichkeit zugängig.
