Brocklebank Dock

Brocklebank Dock is a dock on the River Mersey, England, and part of the Port of Liverpool. It is situated in the northern dock system in Bootle, connected to Langton Dock to the north and Canada Dock to the south. Carriers' Dock was originally sited to the east. History Known as Canada Half Tide Dock when opened in 1862, it had two branch docks to the east which were known as North and South Carriers' Docks. Timber was initially the principal cargo, with fire a consequent safety concern. The original river entrance presented navigational difficulties, with the area affected by silting. The dock was renamed in 1879 in honour of Ralph Brocklebank, Chairman of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board between 1863 and 1869. By the 1920s, the dock was home to the Houlder Brothers shipping company which operated to South America, and to the Commonwealth Line which operated to Australia. Subsequent modifications were made to Brocklebank Dock and the surrounding basins during the twentieth century, including the new Langton River Entrance in 1958. Brocklebank Dock provided facilities for transporting passengers and freight between Liverpool and Belfast, in Northern Ireland, until it was superseded by the Twelve Quays ferry terminal at Birkenhead.

Brockwell Lido

Brockwell Lido is a large lido in Brockwell Park, Herne Hill, London. It opened in July 1937, closed in 1990 and after a local campaign was re-opened in 1994. Since 2003, it has been managed on behalf of Lambeth Council by Fusion Lifestyle. The Lido Cafe looks out onto the pool. History Brockwell Lido was designed by Harry Rowbotham and T. L. Smithson in the Moderne style for the London County Council's Parks Department. It replaced the Brockwell Park bathing pond and is almost identical in design to the Victoria Park Lido in Hackney. It opened in July 1937. The lido closed in 1990 due to cost-saving measures by Lambeth Borough Council. The lido management was put out for tender and two former council employees won the contract and reopened the lido in 1994. The lido has been listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England since July 2003. In 2001, the Evian logo was painted on the pool floor in a sponsorship deal worth £110,000. In 2005, £500,000 was awarded from the Heritage Lottery Fund as part of the £2.5 million redevelopment. 2001 was also the year Brockwell Lido Users Group were officially formed as a pressure group to save the lido. In 2003 Fusion Lifestyle won the competitive tender from Lambeth Council to refurbish the lido and create an all year round leisure complex at the site. A newly built gym, spa and fitness studios were constructed over four years and the newly expanded Brockwell Lido site was reopened in October 2007. In 2012 the Brockwell Icicles winter swimming group reformed and campaigned for all year round swimming. The Brockwell Swimmers club was formed in January 2016 by a group of lido users keen to see more swimming activities. On 25 July 2019, amidst record high temperatures across the UK, the police were called as around 500 people tried to "storm" the Lido. In popular culture The lido is featured in a 1995 episode of the acclaimed BBC series Modern Times, directed by Lucy Blakstad. The lido also featured in the promotional video for the song "No Way, No Way", by influential girl band Vanilla. The song was notable for winning the "Worst Music Video Ever" title at the 1997 ITV Chart Show end-of-year special. The lido is the setting for the episode "Sun Hill Boulevard" of the UK TV series The Bill, originally shown on ITV in August 1999.

Broke Hall

Broke Hall is an English country house at Nacton, near Ipswich, Suffolk. It overlooks the River Orwell, opposite Pin Mill. The gardens were landscaped by Humphry Repton in 1794, and the house is Grade II* listed. The site was purchased by Sir Richard Broke, who built a manor house there, during the reign of Henry VIII. The present house was built by James Wyatt for Philip Bowes Broke in 1792, but is probably a remodelling of an earlier house built in 1775 by Richard Norris. Broke Hall was the birthplace of Admiral Philip Bowes Vere Broke. The property remained in the Broke family until 1887, when on the death of Admiral Sir George Broke-Middleton, it was inherited by his niece, Lady de Saumarez, formerly Jane Anne Broke, the wife of James Saumarez, 4th Baron de Saumarez, thus passing into the Saumarez family. A primary school in Ipswich is named after the hall. References

The Bromfords School

The Bromfords School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in Wickford, Essex, England. Most pupils live in Wickford, while a large minority of pupils live in nearby Basildon and other neighbouring towns. The sixth form is smaller than average. History The Bromfords School was opened in 1973, and was originally designed to facilitate 1,000 pupils.[1] The building contained six science labs, technical rooms and language facilities. In 1978, a second "phase" began construction which involved the addition of English and Mathematics departments, a school library and a main hall. The third phase expanded the school to provide the average types of departments at the time. In 1996, the school was awarded specialist school status, as a Technology College. In 2007, the school was expanded and renovated again, adding a two-storey building which provided eight new classrooms.[2] The renovation included cladding the buildings in a blue panelling, similar to the neighbouring Grange Primary School. It was part of the Building Schools for the Future programme. This increased the capacity of the school from 1,060 to 1,200 pupils.[2] In January 2013, the school was converted to academy status.

Bromholm Priory

Bromholm Priory was a Cluniac priory, situated in a coastal location near the village of Bacton, Norfolk, England. It is Grade I listed. History Bromholm Priory, also known as Bacton Abbey, was founded in 1113 by William de Glanville, Lord of Bacton, and was originally subordinate to Castle Acre Priory until 1195 when it was exempted by Pope Celestine III. King Henry III visited the priory in 1223 to take the holy waters and dedicate to the relics; lands nearby at Cawston, Beeston, Burgh and Aylsham were controlled by the all-powerful Chief Justiciar Hubert de Burgh until his death on 12 May 1243. From this priory we have the Bromholm Psalter dated to the early fourteenth century. The priory was suppressed in 1536. All that now remains are the ruins of the gatehouse, Chapter House, and the northern transept of the Priory Church.[1] It was an important object of pilgrimage as it claimed to possess a piece of the True Cross, mentioned as the 'holy cross of Bromeholme' in Chaucer's The Reeve's Tale and William Langland's Vision of Piers Plowman. This piece of the True Cross was brought from Constantinople, after the Fourth Crusade, by an anonymous English Monk. It was a benefice of the Paston family and is featured in their letters. In 1940 the base of the central tower of the priory church was modified to act as a pillbox in case of German invasion. A similarly disguised gun emplacement can be seen created in the medieval masonry of Pevensey Castle in East Sussex, also close to the sea. Considerable graphic visualisations of what the priory and its lands looked like throughout its history were produced in 2019 and 2020 by members of the Paston Portal.

Bromley High School

Bromley High School is a girls' private day school located in Bickley, Greater London, part of the Girls' Day School Trust. Originally located in the middle of Bromley, in 1981 it relocated to occupy new buildings set in 24 acres (9.7 ha) of grounds and playing fields. The Good Schools Guide describes the school: "Cool calm atmosphere pervades the corridors which are lined with notice boards announcing forthcoming events and successes. General impression is of a busy and active school." History Bromley High School was opened on 18 January 1883 and was the second school founded by the Girls' Public Day School Trust (now Girls' Day School Trust). At that time, Bromley was "a small country town, surrounded by pleasant woods and meadows". The establishment of the school marked the first public recognition in Bromley of the importance of higher education for girls. The school celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2008. A special concert was held at the Royal Albert Hall to mark the occasion. In 2008 a pupil in Year 11 was chosen to represent Great Britain at the opening of the Paralympic Games in Beijing. The author Richmal Crompton was a teacher at the school from c.1917 or 1918. Academics Bromley High has traditionally had an excellent academic record as one of the area's top performing independent schools. In 2009, it broke its record in the A Levels with 85.5% of candidates scoring A-B grades.

Brompton Academy

Brompton Academy is an 11–18 mixed, secondary school and sixth form with academy status in Gillingham, Kent, England. It is part of the University of Kent Academies Trust. History Brompton Academy was originally called The Great Lines School. It was built in the 1950s adjacent to the Great Lines, in Gillingham. Gillingham was a military town that supported the Royal Engineers and their barracks and the Chatham Naval Dockyard. As a consequence families were very mobile. It opened with 270 pupils in April 1957, as a secondary modern school and the first co-educational school in Gillingham. In June 1959, it became Upbury Manor school and was officially re-opened by actress Dame Edith Evans O.B.E. University of Kent Academies Trust It later became New Brompton College and is now known as Brompton Academy. The Brompton Academy opened in 2010. The University of Kent is a 'Lead Sponsor' of the Academy, because of its ability to help provide support for the Academy's science specialism. Medway Council is the co-sponsor. From 2017, Chatham Grammar School for Girls and Brompton Academy's sixth-forms have merged into one big sixth-form named the University of Kent Academies Trust (UKAT). Both schools are a part of the newly formed Academies Trust, of which the CEO is Mr. A. Osborne. School performance and inspections Brompton Academy has been awarded a “Requires Improvement” score from Ofsted; the school was inspected between 21 and 22 September 2022. Buildings The school has undergone a renovation. As part of the new redevelopment, all of the existing school buildings have been replaced with a new building, except for the existing reception building, which has been retained as part of the design. BAM Construction (part of BAM Nuttall) won the £80m contract to design and build three new academy schools for Medway Council, including Brompton Academy, Strood Academy and Bishop of Rochester Academy. Extra curricular Pupils from the school were chosen to form part of a "guard of honour" for athletes at the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games, displaying artistic creations their school made to celebrate the event.

Brondesbury College

Brondesbury College for Boys (BCB) is a selective independent school for boys situated in Brent, London, England. It was founded by Yusuf Islam in 1996, as part of the Waqf Al-Birr Educational Trust, to provide an education institution for young Muslim students in the United Kingdom. Brondesbury College performs well in Brent and also nationally with an 83% 5+ A*–C pass rate in GCSE in 2014. BCB's current head master is Amzad Ali, who succeeded Salahuddin Clifton.

Bronsil Castle

Bronsil Castle ist die Ruine eines befestigten Herrenhauses etwa 1,6 km östlich des Dorfes Eastnor in der englischen Grafschaft Herefordshire. Erstmals wird Bronsil Castle etwa 1240 urkundlich erwähnt, aber diese Quelle enthält keine Beschreibung des Aufbaus. 1449 und nochmals 1460 erhielt Richard Beauchamp, Schatzmeister König Heinrichs VI., die königliche Erlaubnis, sein Haus zu befestigen (engl.: „Licence to Crenellate“). 1644, während des englischen Bürgerkrieges, wurde das Haus von dem Parlamentaristen eingenommen und niedergebrannt. Bis heute ist nur noch wenig von dem Haus erhalten, nur Reste des Turms. Allerdings stürzte 1990 ein Teil davon ein. 2005 wurden Bemühungen zur Sicherung der Substanz unternommen.

Bronsil Castle

Bronsil Castle was a fortified manor house about 1 mile (1.6 km) to the east of Eastnor in Herefordshire, England near Ledbury). It is a Grade II* listed building, first listed in 1967. The first record of Bronsil Castle is around 1240, but no description of the structure at that time is given. In 1449 and again in 1460 Richard Beauchamp, Treasurer to Henry VI, was given licence to crenellate his house on the site. In 1644 during the Civil War it was taken and set alight by the Roundheads. The remains indicate that the manor house was four-sided, with corner and mid-wall tower fortifications. There is an extant moat that surrounds the castle, spanned by a late 19th century bridge. Cracking to the gatehouse tower was noticed in 1990, and during the erection of scaffolding for consolidation works in 1991, much of the tower collapsed into the moat. References
