The Westgate School, Winchester

The Westgate School is a mixed all-through school located in Winchester, Hampshire, United Kingdom. History The school was founded in the early 1900s as the Winchester County School for Girls, becoming Winchester County High School for Girls (WCHS) in 1936. By the 1970s it had 900 girls. It had been a grammar school for girls only, until September 1973 when the first intake of comprehensive boys and girls entered the first year. At this point the school was renamed as The Westgate School. Many of the old grammar school teachers left in July 1974 to work in the neighbouring newly established sixth form college, the former Peter Symonds boys' grammar school. The Deputy Head, Barbara Taylor, was one who made the move, but the Headmistress, Sylvia Rowe, remained for several more years. The last grammar school intake left in July 1977, leaving The Westgate School entirely comprehensive and co-ed from then on. Peter Jenner was Headmaster at the school from 1983 to 2006, during its formative years as a comprehensive. Achievements In recent years between 75 and 80% of 15- and 16-year-olds have achieved five or more GCSE grades A* to C, 70-80% including Maths and English.

Exbury House

Exbury House is an English country house in Exbury and Lepe, Hampshire, situated on the edge of the New Forest. It is a Grade II* listed building with associated Grade II* listed parkland and gardens. The house consists of an 18th-century core which was redesigned and refaced in 1927. Constructed of brick and ashlar with a slate roof, it has a rectangular floor plan (with one corner sliced off), three storeys and a parapet around the roof. The long side garden frontage has nine bays and a colonnaded entrance. The main entrance front on the sliced-off corner has five bays. The gardens (see Exbury Gardens) were laid out by Lionel de Rothschild between 1919 and 1939 and contain specialist collections of rhododendrons and other species. Whilst the gardens are open to the public, the house is not. History Exbury Manor dates from the 13th century. It belonged to the Berkeley family in the 15th century and the Compton family of Compton Wynyates in Warwickshire in the 16th. In 1708 it passed to William Mitford and thence down to his grandson, the historian William Mitford (1744–1827). On the latter's death it passed directly to his grandson Henry Reveley Mitford (1804–1883), whose father had been drowned at sea in 1803 after his ship hit Bell Rock. It was sold to Major John Forster in the early 1880s, but after his death in 1886, it was let to Bertram Freeman-Mitford, 1st Baron Redesdale, and his wife, Lady Clementine (née Ogilvy) in the 1880s. Major Forster also let the house to George Stucley for a number of years. Forster's son sold it to the financier Lionel de Rothschild in 1919. Rothschild remodelled and upgraded the house, developed the gardens and extended the village of Exbury. He died in 1942 and the house was requisitioned by the Royal Navy as a headquarters to prepare for Operation Neptune. The house was designated as HMS Mastodon from May 1942 to July 1945, HMS King Alfred January to June 1946, then HMS Hawke from August 1946 to 1955. The house was finally returned to the Rothschild family in 1955 and Rothschild's son Edmund was able to renew the plant breeding program. The house itself was not reoccupied as a private residence until 1989. The gardens have been open to the public since 1950, run since 1988 by Exbury Gardens Ltd on a long lease from the Rothschild family. Janet Prentice, the heroine of Nevil Shute's novel Requiem for a Wren, finds herself, as a Wren specialist in landing craft guns, assigned to HMS Mastodon in 1943. In the novel, Shute identifies Mastodon as Exbury, and describes the wonder of Prentice and a fellow Wren when they first arrive at the grand river-front house and explore its gardens. Among other things, they find underground irrigation systems, carefully labelled plants, and "... a rock garden half as large as Trafalgar Square that was a mass of bloom ..." All of this, says Shute, was tended by a gardening staff that "... had been reduced from fifty to a mere eighteen old men." References
Уик (къща)

Уик (на английски: The Wick) е къща в Ричмънд, Голям Лондон. Разположена е на ъгъла между Найтингейл лейн и Ричмънд хил в Съри. В миналото къщата е била собственост на актьора Джон Милс, в продължение на много години. През юни 1971 г. е купена от Рони Уд (от Ролинг Стоунс). Понастоящем е жилище на Пийт Таунсенд, който е главен автор на песни и музикант в Ху. Описание Стилът напомня архитектурата на Великобритания от 18 век. Изградена е от тухла и камък.

The Wick

The Wick is a Grade I listed Georgian house in Richmond, Greater London, located at the corner of Nightingale Lane and Richmond Hill. The house, designed in 1775 by architect Robert Mylne for Lady St. Aubyn, was for many years the family home of actor Sir John Mills, who sold it to Ronnie Wood of the rock band Faces (and later of the Rolling Stones) in 1971. From 1996 it was owned by Pete Townshend of the Who, who sold it in 2021 for £15,000,000. Description The Georgian-style house, built of plum brick and stone on the site of the Bull's Head tavern, overlooks the River Thames and is near Richmond Park, the largest urban park in the United Kingdom. It was designed by architect Robert Mylne in 1775 for Lady St. Aubyn, and includes oval dining and drawing rooms, three storeys and a basement with modillion, cornice and balustrading above. The porch is built with entablature and Tower of the Winds piers with a fanlight above, and a line of medallions embellishes the front of the house. It faces Richmond Hill and features a garden wall that borders Nightingale Lane, with a coach house in the garden. The back of the house features bow windows that overlook the river. The Wick and the adjoining cottage, Wick Cottage, are listed as Grade I structures by Historic England. History Richmond Hill was part of the Royal Manor of Richmond since the time of Domesday Book. Richmond Park was enclosed by King Charles I around 1635. The countryside was mostly agricultural land in the early 18th century, but Terrace Walk was laid out at the top of Richmond Hill in the later 18th century, followed by construction of a number of fine homes, including The Wick, on the hill. The sound of the wind around the house reportedly inspired Mary Hayley Bell, actress, writer and wife of Sir John Mills, to write the novel Whistle Down the Wind which was made into both a film and, later, an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. Ronnie Wood bought the home in 1971 but did not have enough money to purchase the adjacent cottage as well; he persuaded Ronnie Lane, at the time one of his bandmates in Faces, to buy the cottage. When Wood first bought the house, Lane also lived there until his departure from Faces in June 1973. The guitarist of the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards, reportedly lived in the coach house for several months in 1973–74 during Wood's ownership. Wood recorded his first two solo albums, I've Got My Own Album to Do and Now Look, released in 1974 and 1975 respectively, in a studio he built in the basement of the house. The Rolling Stones song "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (But I Like It)", also released in 1974, was written at the house, emerging out of a jam between Wood, Richards, David Bowie and Mick Jagger. Pete Townshend purchased the property in 1996. Writer and musician Nikki Sudden was working on a history of The Wick before he died suddenly in 2006. References
The Windmill, Brixton

The Windmill is a pub and live music venue in Brixton, London, England, with a reputation for championing new music. It was voted the third best music venue in London, in a 2012 poll in Time Out magazine, and number 7 by The Guardian in 2008, and has been described as "one of the top-10 music venues in the U.K.". Many bands who have served as resident acts in the Windmill have now been described as part of the Windmill scene, such as Black Country, New Road, Squid, Shame and Black Midi. History The pub was built in 1971 for the adjacent Blenheim Gardens housing estate. It was named after the neighbouring heritage site of the only lasting (and working) windmill (aka Ashby's Mill) in the London area. It went through various phases of being a bar that attracted locals, bikers, and the Irish community; by the end of the 1990s, it was hosting DJs, poets and the occasional live bands. Around 2002, the Windmill shifted focus onto live music. Early gigs included a semi-secret double bill of Calexico and Kurt Wagner (of Lambchop) followed by a gig by the 5.6.7.8's, just after they had appeared as the house band in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill: Volume 1. A Rottweiler dog living on the roof of the venue (known as "Roof Dog") became the Windmill's mascot, until its death in August 2015. Bands to have played gigs at The Windmill include: ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, Bloc Party, Caitlin Rose, the Crimea, Damo Suzuki, Guillemots, Hot Chip, Los Campesinos!, Scritti Politti, Sorry, Stereolab, and the Vaccines. From the late 2010s to the early 2020s the Windmill has been connected with a resurgence of the South London guitar rock scene now known as the Windmill scene, including bands such as Black Country, New Road, Squid, Fat White Family, and Black Midi.
