Hack Green Secret Nuclear Bunker

The Hack Green Secret Nuclear Bunker is a former government-owned nuclear bunker located at Hack Green, Cheshire, England. History The first military use of the area was in World War II, when a Starfish site was established at Hack Green. Its purpose was to confuse Luftwaffe bombers looking for the vital railway junction at Crewe. A ground-controlled interception (GCI) radar station was added. In the 1950s, the site was modernised as part of the ROTOR project. This included the provision of a substantial semi-sunk reinforced concrete bunker or blockhouse (type R6). The station, officially designated RAF Hack Green, was also known as Mersey Radar. It provided an air traffic control service to military aircraft crossing civil airspace. The site was abandoned and remained derelict for many years until taken over by the Home Office. The R6 bunker was then rebuilt as a Regional Government Headquarters (RGHQs) – one of a network of 17 such sites throughout the UK – designed to enable the government to continue in the aftermath of a major nuclear attack on the UK. Around 1992, following the end of the Cold War, the Home Office abandoned its network of RGHQs and sold many of the sites. The Hack Green Bunker was purchased by a private company and subsequently opened to the public in 1998 as a museum with a Cold War theme. Current status The bunker is open to the public most of the year. It has a substantial collection of military and Cold War memorabilia, including one of the largest collections of decommissioned nuclear weapons in the world. It also houses Ballistic Missile Early Warning System equipment originally from RAF High Wycombe. The museum includes information about the function of the bunker during the Cold War. There is a simulator designed to simulate conditions in the bunker during a nuclear attack. Visitors can watch the BBC film The War Game, produced to inform the public of what would be likely to happen in a nuclear attack on Britain. Younger visitors to the museum can navigate the rooms in a game to find the "Cold War Spy Mice" (a large number of toy mice positioned in numerous rooms), the objective being to locate as many mice as possible and return their report to the desk for a prize; this avoids the more disturbing aspects of the bunker, such as the medical room, where a mannequin is depicted with symptoms of burns and radiation poisoning. On television Hack Green was featured in episode two of the television series Most Haunted: Midsummer Murders in which the team investigates the murder of a soldier. It was featured once again in series 11. The band Everything Everything filmed the music video for their 2009 single "MY KZ, UR BF" inside Hack Green.

Hacking Hall

Hacking Hall is a Grade I listed, early-17th-century house situated at the confluence of the rivers Calder and Ribble in Lancashire, England. It is thought that J. R. R. Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings, may have taken inspiration from the ferry here for the Bucklebury Ferry over the Brandywine river in his book, as it was still operational when Tolkien visited nearby Stonyhurst College.

Hadleigh High School

Hadleigh High School is situated on Highlands Road in Hadleigh, Suffolk, England. It is a secondary school with academy status, and has around 730 pupils aged 11 to 16. It has a specialism in science. The school upheld its 'good' rating from Ofsted, following a short inspection in 2019. This has been held since Ofsted's first 'full' inspection in 2012. History In 2023 the school was found to have potentially structurally unsound buildings due to the use of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete as a building material. Awards Before the school breaks up for the Easter Holidays, the school holds an awards ceremony during the End of Term Assembly, giving out many awards for outstanding achievement during the year. These awards mostly go to Year Eleven students. Awards include Academic Honours in particular subjects, the Bayliss Award for Drama, the Lady Burton Cup for Outstanding Individual Achievement and the School English Award for excellent achievement in English. Other awards are also available throughout the year, including the school's own recognition of sporting achievement in the 'colour' and 'half colour' system, where pupils may be awarded in sports in which they excel. Sixth form The school does not have a sixth form attached to it. Because of this the large majority of students that want to pursue Further Education continue to Colchester Sixth Form College, Northgate Sixth Form, Thomas Gainsborough School, Colchester Royal Grammar School, Suffolk New College or One.

Haggerston Baths

Haggerston Baths is a former public bath in Haggerston, London. It was opened in 1904 and were built at a cost of £60,000. There was a single pool, 91 slipper baths and a 60 stall wash house. The Grade II listed Haggerston Pool was designed by Alfred Cross. It was closed in 2000 with an uncertain future. In June 2009 after a long community campaign, a £5m grant was announced from the Department for Children, Schools and Families to refurbish and re-open the pool. The building would also contain community facilities and a GP surgery. Heavily involved in the re-opening of the pool was Michael Gallie, who was instrumental in surveying the building, creating 3D model sketches and more. Due to the 2009 financial downturn, Hackney Borough Council had to remove funding for the re-opening of the baths. The Haggerston baths campaign restarted efforts to find financial backing and public support in an effort to re-open the historic East End pool. As of January 2023 it appears that any restoration of the building will no longer include restoring the swimming baths.

Haggerston Park

Haggerston Park is an open space in Haggerston, in the London Borough of Hackney. It is bounded by Whiston Road (to the north), Hackney Road (south) and St Saviour's Priory, Queensbridge Road (west) and Goldsmith's Row (east). The park was originally created in the 1950s and extended in the 1980s. It was carved out of an area of derelict housing, a tile manufacturer, and the former Shoreditch Gasworks, which had been hit by a V-2 rocket in 1944 and badly damaged. Today, it occupies 6 hectares (15 acres) Haggerston Park contains a small but luxuriant nature reserve and a number of football pitches. The park, one of the few formal landscaped gardens in Hackney, was laid out in 1956. Also dating from the 1950s is a long arcade walk on the north side of the park with a mature wisteria. In the 1980s the park was extended to the south to include a Hackney City Farm, on the site of a former brewery, a children's playground and playing fields. At first, Hackney Council buildings in Haggerston Park attracted little opposition - most locals approved of a new SureStart building on the West side of the park. The long-term lease handed to Bridge Academy for the Astroturf was highly unpopular, and in 2007 the Council built a temporary school in parkland known as the Audrey Street Depot. A planning application was prepared and submitted, including a Section 106 commitment to return it to parkland a year later. The Park is within a Conservation Area, and part of the park including the Audrey St Depot is listed as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC), a designation used by local authorities in the United Kingdom for sites of substantive local natural value. The planning sub-committee approved the application but then the application was withdrawn and the Section 106 was therefore never enforced. For the following 7 years the council claimed it did not have the funds to make good on the return to parkland, and then in February 2016 it announced it was building a much larger Academy school in the same spot. The new City of London Academy is also "temporary" - for five years, and the Mayor has promised the land will be returned to parkland at the end of the period. But the signs are not good. The City of London Academy is breaching Conditions of the planning permission, despite repeated reminders from locals. On 29 July 1992, Michael Jackson landed at Haggerston Park in a helicopter with Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse where he visited the children at the nearby then children's hospital Queen Elizabeth Hospital for Children. The hospital has since been redeveloped into luxury flats, throwing further pressure on the park. Haggerston Park received a Green Flag award in July 2008.

Haggerston School

Haggerston School (previously Haggerston Girls' School) is a secondary school and sixth form located in Weymouth Terrace in Haggerston, London Borough of Hackney, England. The school is noteworthy and of historic importance as a Grade II listed building, being built in 1964–65 by Ernő Goldfinger, the celebrated modernist architect. Initially only for girls, in September 2010 Haggerston became a coeducational school with its own sixth form. Previously a community School administered by Hackney London Borough Council, in September 2023 Haggerston School converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the Community Schools Trust. History In 2006, pupils, parents and teachers protested outside the gates against the Hackney Schools Organising Committee (SOC) plans to make the school a mixed-sex school. A major refurbishment of the school buildings was completed in 2012. Architecture Haggerston School is the only secondary school in the United Kingdom to be designed by internationally regarded architect, Ernő Goldfinger, who studied under Auguste Perret in Paris. Goldfinger's work is unique in Britain in that it combines the influences of Perret, one of the first architects to develop the use of concrete aesthetically, with detailing and forms derived from Le Corbusier. Goldfinger knew both architects personally. The elevations of the school follow the mathematical proportions of the Golden Section and it includes a double-height circulation spine with balcony. The school is distinctive stand out in the East End of London for the large amount of timber used in the construction and contains some of Goldfinger's boldest and most handsome public interiors including bush hammered concrete and coffered ceilings in the entrance and hall block. On the same site is the School House (1964–65), and it shares a Grade II listing. The School House was designed by Ernő Goldfinger as an integral part of the school itself. The House illustrates Goldfinger's skill for adapting his interest in the use of tough materials, like dark brick and concrete, and refining them for use on a domestic scale with skilful use of proportions.

Hagley Park Academy

Hagley Park Academy was originally founded as Hagley Park County Secondary Modern in 1955 and was located in Rugeley, Staffordshire. History Arson attacks On Monday 3 February 1975 at 11.45pm there was an arson attack that cost £200,000. On Saturday 19 August 1978 there was an arson attack that cost £150,000. There were 40 firemen, who for 90 minutes, pumped water from the school swimming pool. Both fires were started by 18 year old Keith Fletcher. His father had been sacked from the school, the former caretaker, after committing an offence. He was possibly a pyromaniac, being 'fascinated by fire engines'. He had made hoax phone calls to attract attention of the fire service. He started the second fire, when intoxicated, in revenge for his father being sacked. He was given two years at Stafford Court on Friday 3 November 1978, after pleading guilty. The judge was looking at much longer imprisonment. Academy Later it was rebuilt and changed its name to Hagley Park Sports College, becoming Hagley Park Academy between 2011 and 2015. This was a mixed secondary school which was part of the Creative Education Trust, along with Fair Oak Academy and Rugeley Sixth Form Academy. Merger In November 2015 the Creative Education Trust launched a consultation on the possibility of merging its academies in Rugeley. The plans foresaw the new school operating over two sites, with pupils in academic years 7, 8 and 9 housed at the Fair Oak Academy site as a lower school and years 10, 11, 12 and 13 housed at the Hagley Park Academy site as an upper school. The merger commenced in September 2016, and The Hart School opened in its place, using the Hagley Park site to house 'Upper School' years (10, 11, 12 and 13). From January 2021 to March 2022, during the COVID-19 pandemic, former Hagley Park Academy facilities were used as a free walk-in COVID-19 testing site.

Haig Colliery Mining Museum

Haig Colliery Mining Museum was a visitor attraction in Kells, on the site of Cumbria's last deep coal mine on the cliffs above Whitehaven in Cumbria, England. It closed in January 2016 due to insolvency. History The museum was an independent, volunteer-led project to provide a permanent archive of the local mining history and community resource within the remaining winding engine house, which became a scheduled monument in 1998. One of the two massive steam winding engines had been returned to working order, and many artifacts were on permanent display to help describe the life of the local miners and the social history of the area. Coal mining in Whitehaven dates back to the 13th century when the monks from St Bees Priory supervised the opening of coal mines at Arrowthwaite. This long history ended abruptly in March 1986, when Haig Colliery, Cumbria's last deep coal mine, finally closed. During this time, the gassy nature of the mines caused numerous violent explosions. Over 1700 men, women, and children were killed in the Whitehaven pits while mining coal, in tunnel workings up to four miles out beneath the sea bed in the Solway Firth. Haig itself had a terrible record of methane explosions in the 1920s. Fourteen miners are still entombed in the workings to this day. Building The mine was a large building that dominated the Kells Industrial Estate, with tall chimneys, working lifts and conveyor belts to transport the coal. Transportation of coal The footpath behind the building is called 'The Wagon Road' because in the 1800s, when the coal industry was at its peak in the North West of England, the coal wagons used to go down the wagon road to get to the train track to then transport the coal into the town centre where it would be distributed to the train or to the Whitehaven harbour, one of Britain's main ports at the time. Closure The museum closed for repairs in 2014, and after a 2.4 million refurbishment, reopened to the public in February 2015. Even though the museum attracted in excess of its anticipated 15,000 visitor numbers, financial problems meant that by January 2016 the museum had closed. Some of the buildings are being used by West Cumbria Mining as its main operating base whilst it test drills for coal off the Cumbrian coast.

Hailes Castle (Stanway)

Hailes Castle ist eine abgegangene Burg im Dorf Stanway in der englischen Grafschaft Gloucestershire. Die Burg wurde im 11. oder Anfang des 12. Jahrhunderts in der Nähe der heutigen Kirche St Peter im Dorf gebaut. Die war von einem Graben umgeben, der aber später verfüllt wurde. Am Anfang der schwierigen Bürgerkriegsjahre der Anarchie, in der Hailes Castle in den Jahren 1139–1145 eine Rolle spielte, ließ Ralph of Worchester die Burg neu befestigen. Vermutlich wurde die Hailes Castle in den 1240er-Jahren abgerissen, um Platz für den Bau der Hailes Abbey zu schaffen. Einzelnachweise
Hailes Castle, Gloucestershire

Hailes Castle was a castle in the village of Hailes in Gloucestershire, England. The castle was built around the 11th or early 12th century near the church in the village. The castle was moated, although this has since been filled in. The castle was strengthened by Ralph of Worcester at the start of the difficult years of the Anarchy, with Hailes Castle playing a role in the conflict between 1139 and 1145. The castle was probably demolished in the 1240s to make way for the construction of Hailes Abbey.

Halecombe

Halecombe is a limestone quarry near Leigh-on-Mendip on the Mendip Hills, Somerset, England. The quarry exhibits pale to dark grey well-bedded Carboniferous Limestone, about 350-320 million years old, dipping steeply and consistently northwards and numerous "fist-sized" calcite inclusions within the limestones both solid and hollow with internal calcite crystal growth. There are abundant near-vertical fissures and joints in the limestone with varying amounts of calcite mineralization and tufa growth around groundwater seepages. There are abundant shelly fossils and corals. Quarrying activity was initiated at Halecombe at the time of the Second World War. It had been worked under private ownership until purchased by Hobbs in the 1960s; subsequently worked by Wimpey Hobbs following their amalgamation in the early 1980s and by Tarmac Ltd from 1996. It is now owned by Anglo American. The landscape provides several areas identified under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan including Lowland Meadow, Limestone Grassland and Species-rich Neutral Grassland. The site is subject to its own Biodiversity Action Plan. Pans submitted in December 2011 provide for the provision of a water balancing lake. References See also Quarries of the Mendip Hills
Halecroft

Halecroft is a Grade II* listed building in Hale, a village in the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford in Greater Manchester, England. The building was designed by the architect Edgar Wood as part of a speculative development commissioned by J. Richardson, and was built in 1890; it is an example of Wood's work influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement. It is one of eleven Grade II* listed buildings in Trafford. Halecroft is a two-storey building with a single-storey extension added in the 20th century. It uses timber framing, carved wood, pargeting and tile hanging. One of the craftsmen involved was James Lenegan. The windows have mullions and transoms; Clare Hartwell and coauthors write that there are "some interesting touches" to the window design, particularly noting a dormer window featuring a "tiered cap". As of February 2025, Halecroft is the head office of Britannia Hotels.

Half-Mile Telescope

The Half-Mile Telescope was constructed in 1968 (2 aerials) at the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory with two more aerials being added in 1972, using donated dishes (total cost was £70,000). Two of the dishes are fixed, while two are moveable and share the One-Mile's rail track; to obtain information from the maximum number of different baselines, 30 days of observing were required. Observing frequency 1.4 GHz (21 cm wavelength), bandwidth 4 MHz. Used for Hydrogen Line studies of nearby galaxies and produced the first good radio maps of hydrogen distribution (as a function of its velocity), for M33 and M31 (also produced nearly 20 PhDs and 50 published papers). The telescope was operated by the Radio Astronomy Group of the Cambridge University. External links Two antennae of the Half-Mile Telescope on Google Maps
