Sutton Bridge, Yorkshire

Sutton Bridge is a historic bridge in Yorkshire, in England. The bridge crosses the River Derwent, linking Elvington in the City of York with Sutton-upon-Derwent in the East Riding of Yorkshire. It forms part of the B1228 road. A bridge at the location was first recorded in 1396, and it may have replaced an earlier ferry. The current bridge probably dates from the late 17th century. It is built of Magnesian Limestone, and has two arches. The central pier has pointed cutwaters. The parapet is built of three courses of stone, and there are pedestrian refuges on either side at the mid-point of the bridge. As implied, there is no proper pedestrian path on the bridge but the traffic lights do allow for a 5–10 second gap. The bridge was Grade II* listed in 1986. In 2010, it was badly damaged by a lorry, which was never traced. It closed for a month for repairs, during which it was strengthened, and the width between the parapets was increased. In 2013, a ban on heavy goods vehicles using the bridge was considered in order to make it safer for pedestrians, but the plan was rejected, while various proposed safety measures were also rejected as unenforceable or unlikely to prove effective.

St Martin's Church, Knebworth

St Martin's Church is an active Anglican church in Knebworth, Hertfordshire, England. The building, which is designated grade II*, was designed by Edwin Lutyens in an Italianate style. It is constructed in brick. History The church was built to serve the expanding settlement on the Great North Road near Knebworth railway station, over a mile from the medieval parish church St Mary and St Thomas. Before World War I there was a plan by the local landowners, the Bulwer-Lytton family, to develop Knebworth as a type of garden village. This plan was only partly realised, but it resulted in several commissions for Lutyens including a clubhouse for the local golf course and Homewood, a dower house for his mother-in-law, Edith Bulwer-Lytton, Countess of Lytton. Construction began in 1914, but the building was not completed according to the architect's intentions. When the church was consecrated in 1915, it was in an incomplete state because of cutbacks caused by World War I. The west front was added in the 1960s and was designed by Sir Albert Richardson. Richardson did not follow Lutyens' intention to give the church a portico, but his contribution has been described as "harmonious". Interior The plastered interior features limited use of Portland stone. The aisles are separated from the nave by small arches on Tuscan columns. Details of the organ are given in the National Pipe Organ Register. It was built by Willis and was installed in the 1960s replacing an older instrument. Its pipes are in "tubs" on each site of the chancel entrance. Conservation On 27 May 1968, the church was designated a grade II* listed building.

Red Lion Inn, Southampton

The Red Lion Inn is a Grade II* listed pub, built in the late 15th/early 16th century. It is an example of a late medieval hall house. The timber framed frontage is a 20th century addition It is on the Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors. Below the hall is a half-timbered vault, probably from an earlier building, known as the court room. it is alleged to be the site of the trial of the conspirators in the Southampton Plot. This appears to be a local legend. The trial took place in 1415, about 75 years before the foundation of this building, and there is no documentary evidence from 1415 that would locate it here. In any case, the plotters were imprisoned in the castle and it is unlikely that they were moved down the High Street for a trial in an inn when the castle afforded ample facilities. A mournful procession of ghosts reportedly sighted leaving from the inn has been linked to the plotters. It has been claimed that the inn itself is haunted by a barmaid, described as being in her sixties and only visible above the knees, who reportedly drifts through the bar area. During his exile after 1852, Juan Manuel de Rosas, the former governor of Buenos Aires, used to frequent the place. References
Dolphin Hotel, Southampton

The Dolphin Hotel is a Grade II* listed 4-star hotel, which is the oldest in Southampton, Hampshire. Recorded mentions of the hotel date back to 1454 although it is believed to older than this and remnants of the original medieval timbers, and stone vaulting are extant. The hotel was a famous coaching inn during the 17th-century and became quite fashionable during the city's stint as a spa-town from 1750 to 1820. The Georgian frontage, complete with coaching entrance and oriel windows, said to be the biggest in England, was added about 1760. After a period of closure the hotel reopened on 4 May 2010 following a £4 million redevelopment programme. In November 2021, the hotel became used exclusively for asylum seekers. In April 2024, plans to convert it to student accommodation were announced. Guests and ghosts Famous guests have included Queen Victoria, Admiral Lord Nelson, Edward Gibbon, William Makepeace Thackery and Jane Austen, who celebrated her 18th birthday there in 1793. Molly, a maid seen gliding across the ground floor from the legs up, is the most famous of the hotel's six reported resident ghosts. References
Old Farmhouse, Southampton

The Old Farmhouse is a Grade II* listed pub which was originally a farmhouse, and dates back to at least 1560. It was rebuilt in 1611 and converted to its current usage in 1843. It is claimed to be the oldest building which is now a pub with a beer garden in Southampton, Hampshire. It is situated adjacent to the Mount Pleasant level crossing on the South West Main Line. History The farmhouse, shown on the 1560 map of Southampton, was rebuilt in 1611, a date depicted in white bricks on the south wall, by an unknown person referred to in the surviving records as E.R. Panton's Wareham Brewery took out a 1000-year lease on the property and opened a beer house here with Mrs. Annette Eddy listed as landlady in 1852. Scrase's Star Brewery took over the lease in 1892 followed later by Strong's Romsey Brewery. In 1941 a land mine exploded in nearby Derby Road which caused most of the roof tiles to fall off of the building. The tiles were collected and piled up in front of the pub before the roof was repaired. On 12 March 2019, the pub was voluntarily closed after a report by the Food Standards Agency gave it a food hygiene rating of 0 out of 5. The report found rat droppings behind the ice machine and the building was not ‘structurally sound’. In July 2021, a revamp was underway ahead of a potential reopening in August 2021. However, as of December 2023, the pub remained closed with the car park and gardens being used as overflow parking for a local car dealer; that month, national conservation group Save Britain's Heritage named the Old Farmhouse their "Building of the Month". Local legends The pub is reportedly haunted by the ghost of the daughter of an Irish family who got pregnant out-of-wedlock while living here. Former Landlord Barrie Short (now deceased) stated that although he didn't believe in the legend he had noticed that for a couple of days after he goes into the attic the jukebox will start playing strange music and the television will switch channels by itself. A skull, alleged to have been that of the girl, was unearthed in the cellar and used to be displayed behind the bar. Other unconfirmed local legends state that Oliver Cromwell stayed at the farmhouse on one or two occasions and that smugglers' tunnels run from the fireplace to the nearby River Itchen. References
