Pencarrow

Pencarrow is a Grade II*-listed country house in the civil parish of Egloshayle, in north Cornwall, England. It is situated three miles (5 km) east-southeast of Wadebridge and three miles (5 km) north-northwest of Bodmin. History Sir John Molesworth, the fourth Molesworth baronet, started the construction of Pencarrow in the 1760s, extending a large older house on the site, and it was completed after his death in 1766, by his son, the fifth baronet, also Sir John Molesworth. The architect was probably Robert Allanson. The initial remodelling of the house may have begun around 1730, as the Palladian style of the house was somewhat out of fashion by the 1760s and 1770s when much of the work was done. Another clue is that the symmetry of the south and east façades is not matched by any symmetry in the interior plan, possibly because the layout of the building's rooms inhibited the axial symmetry associated with the Palladian style. Description The oldest parts of the house probably date from the late 17th or early 18th century, although there was earlier building on the site. The south and east façades are stuccoed stone rubble and brick, while the north side is stone rubble. The west side is built of dressed slate stone with a moulded plinth. The roofs are slate with hipped ends on the south and east fronts. The surrounding woodlands and gardens, laid out by Sir William Molesworth, the 8th Baronet, between 1831 and 1835, now contain 160 species of specimen conifers, 700 species of rhododendrons and 60 species of camellias, and an Italian garden, a granite rockery and lake. Araucaria araucana derives its popular name of "monkey puzzle tree" from what happened when a young specimen of it at Pencarrow was shown to a group of friends of the owner; one of them made the remark "It would puzzle a monkey to climb that"; as the species had no existing popular name, first 'monkey puzzler', then 'monkey puzzle' stuck. Stone cross head A stone cross head at Pencarrow was described by Arthur Langdon (1896). It was found c. 1870 on the estate and afterwards set up in the grounds. Cornish wrestling Cornish wrestling tournaments, for prizes, were held at Pencarrow in the 1800s. References External links Pencarrow official website
Pencarrow

Pencarrow (cornique : Pennkarow) est une maison de campagne classée Grade II* dans la paroisse civile d'Egloshayle dans le nord des Cornouailles, en Angleterre. Elle est située à trois milles (5 km) à l'est-sud-est de Wadebridge et trois milles (5 km) au nord-nord-ouest de Bodmin. Histoire John Molesworth, le quatrième baronnet de Molesworth, commence la construction de Pencarrow dans les années 1760, en agrandissant une maison plus ancienne sur le site, et elle est achevée après sa mort en 1766, par son fils, le cinquième baronnet, également appelé John Molesworth. L'architecte est probablement Robert Allanson. La rénovation initiale de la maison commence vers 1730, car le style palladien de la maison est quelque peu démodé dans les années 1760 et 1770, lorsqu'une grande partie des travaux est terminée. Un autre indice est que la symétrie des façades sud et est ne correspond à aucune symétrie sur le plan intérieur, peut-être parce que la disposition des pièces du bâtiment inhibait la symétrie axiale associée au style palladien. Description Les parties les plus anciennes de la maison datent probablement de la fin du XVIIe ou du début du XVIIIe siècle, bien qu'il y ait eu des constructions antérieures sur le site. Les façades sud et est sont en moellons de pierre stuqués et en brique, tandis que le côté nord est en moellons de pierre. Le côté ouest est construit en pierre d'ardoise taillée avec un socle mouluré. Les toits sont en ardoise avec des extrémités en croupe sur les façades sud et est. Les bois et les jardins environnants, aménagés par William Molesworth, le 8e baronnet, entre 1831 et 1835, contiennent aujourd'hui 160 espèces de conifères spécimens, 700 espèces de rhododendrons et 60 espèces de camélias, ainsi qu'un jardin à l'italienne, une rocaille en granit et un lac. Araucaria araucana tire son nom populaire d'« arbre aux puzzles de singes » de ce qui s'est passé lorsqu'un jeune spécimen de cet arbre à Pencarrow a été montré à un groupe d'amis du propriétaire ; l'un d'eux fait la remarque "Cela intriguerait un singe de grimper là-dessus" ; comme l'espèce n'a pas de nom populaire existant « puzzle de singe » est resté.

Pencarrow House

Pencarrow House è una storica residenza in stile georgiano, situata nei pressi del villaggio inglese di Egloshayle, in Cornovaglia (Inghilterra sud-occidentale) e costruita tra gli anni sessanta del XVIII secolo e il 1775 e parzialmente rimodellata nel secolo successivo per volere della famiglia Molesworth St Aubyn. La villa e i giardini circostanti sono classificati come monumento di secondo grado. Storia La famiglia Molesworth, proprietaria della tenuta di Pencarrow (il cui nome significa "promontorio della valle" o "forte alto"), si era trasferita in Cornovaglia dal Northamptonshire nel corso del XV secolo. Negli anni sessanta del XVIII secolo, John, IV baronetto Molesworth fece ricostruire l'edificio preesistente per trasformarlo in una residenza georgiana. Dopo la morte di quest'ultimo, avvenuta nel 1766, la costruzione della villa proseguì per volere del figlio, John, V baronetto di Molesworth. Il progetto, la cui realizzazione terminò nel 1775, venne probabilmente affidato a Robert Allanson di York (morto nel 1733). In seguito, tra il 1831 e il 1855, furono realizzati da Sir William, VIII baronetto di Molesworth, nonché segretario di Stato per le colonie, e dal suo giardiniere, i giardini che circondano la villa con piante provenienti in gran parte dalle collezioni degli esploratori e botanici Douglas, Lobb e Wallich. Nel frattempo, nel 1844, lo stesso William fece rimodellare parzialmente l'edificio prima del suo matrimonio, che si celebrò in Andalusia. Nel 1882, Sir Arthur Sullivan, amico della famiglia Molesworth St Aubyn, compose nella Piano Room di Pencarrow House la melodia di Iolanthe. In seguito, nel 1919 fu operata un'opera di ammodernamento degli interni progettata da Ernest Newton. Architettura Esterni La tenuta si estende in un'area di 50 acri. Nel parco che circonda la villa, si trovano, tra l'altro l'American Garden, un giardino con alberi provenienti dal Nord America, un giardino all'italiana con una fontana a forma di quadrifoglio, un forte dell'Età del Ferro e una croce celtica. In primavera, crescono nei giardini azelee, camelie e rododendri. Interni Nella residenza si trovano 11 stanze aperte al pubblico. Tra queste, spiccano la hall, decorata con statue classiche, il soggiorno, dove si trovano dei ritratti dei proprietari realizzati da Joshua Reynolds, la Inner Room, dove si trovano due dipinti di Samuel Scott raffiguranti il Tower Bridge e la Torre di Londra, e la Piano Room. Gli interni sono ammobiliati con mobili Adam, decorati in damasco rosa.

Hendon

Hendon est un quartier de Londres situé à environ 10 km au nord-ouest de Charing Cross, dans le Borough londonien de Barnet. Le quartier est le centre administratif du district. Histoire Hendon est anciennement un Civil Parish du comté de Middlesex. Le nom d'origine, dérivé de Hendun signifiant la plus haute colline, est antérieur. Il existe même des preuves d'une colonie romaine découverte par la Société archéologique et d'autres organismes. Son église date des XVe et XVIe siècles, sur le site d'une église plus ancienne. Une curiosité de cette église est qu'elle n'est pas dédiée à Jean le Baptiste (quoiqu'elle possède une girouette en forme d'agneau portant drapeau), mais à Sainte-Marie (St Mary's Church). Plusieurs personnalités sont enterrées dans le cimetière paroissial, notamment Thomas Stamford Raffles, fondateur et gouverneur de Singapour, et Herbert Chapman, footballeur et entraîneur de football. Le métro, à Golders Green, est arrivé en 1907. En 1924, Hendon a gagné sa propre station de métro, Hendon Central, avec l'extension de la Northern line cette année. En 1910, Louis Blériot y ouvre une école d'aviation. En 1931, la paroisse civile de Edgware a été supprimée et son territoire rattaché à la grande paroisse civile de Hendon. En 1932, l'hôtel de ville de Hendon est achevé selon sa structure actuelle. Il devient le centre administratif du district de Barnet lorsque celui-ci est constitué en 1965. En 1979, Margaret Thatcher y fait son premier discours comme Premier ministre du Royaume-Uni. Au nord de Hendon, dans le district de Colindale, est situé le musée de la Royal Air Force, sur le site d'un ancien aérodrome. C'est aussi à Hendon qui se trouve l'école de formation des officiers du Metropolitan Police Service (Hendon Police College (en)).

Hendon

Hendon é um subúrbio da cidade de Londres situado a 11 km a noroeste de Charing Cross. História Historicamente, Hendon foi uma paróquia civil no condado de Middlesex. A região é descrita no Domesday Book (1086); o nome, Hendun, que significa "na colina mais alta", é anterior. Existência provas da presença dos romanos descobertas pela Sociedade Arqueológica de Hendon & Distrito, e outras: uma urna com uma criança sem cabeça foi descoberta na região próxima de Sunny Hill Park. A igreja paroquial de Hendon data nos séculos XV e XVI. A igreja tem um cata-vento na forma de um anho e uma bandeira; porém, é não devotada a São João Batista, mas a Santa Maria (St Mary's Church). O administrador colonial e naturalista Thomas Stamford Raffles e o jogador e técnico Herbert Chapman são sepultados na igreja. A linha de caminho-de-ferro, Midland Railway, e a Great Northern Railways foram construídas na década de 1860. O metropolitano foi construído em 1907. A maior parte de Hendon desenvolveu-se como um subúrbio de Londres e, actualmente (2011), a região é maioritariamente rural na zona de Mill Hill, deswtacando-se os campos Copthall Playing. A principal indústria de Hendom é a fabril, onde se inclui o fabrico de motores e peças de avião, desde os anos 1880. Em 1931 a paróquia civil de Edgware foi abolida e a sua área foi integrada na de Hendon. Hendon tornou-se um distrito urbano em 1894. Em 1932, passou a Borough Municipal de Hendon. Este borough foi extinto em1965, passando a fazer parte de Barnet, um Borough de Londres. Um dos principais pontos de relevo de Hendon, é o Royal Air Force Museum, situado no aeródromo de Hendon. O local está directamente associado ao aviador Claude Grahame-White. Noutra zona do aeródromo, fica a escola de polícia de Hendon, um centro de treino das Polícia Metropolitana.

Kingston Railway Bridge

Kingston Railway Bridge je obloukový železniční most přes řeku Temži v londýnské městské části Kingston. Most se nachází na železniční trati Kingston Loop Line mezi železničními stanicemi Kingston a Hampton Wick. Dnešní most se nachází na místě staršího litinového mostu z let 1860–1863, který navrhl J. E. Errington. Ten byl v roce 1907 nahrazen dnešním mostem, jehož architektem byl J. W. Jacomb Hood. Mostovka mostu se nachází 6,81 m nad hladinou Temže. V roce 2015 byl most opravován.

Kingston Railway Bridge

Die Kingston Railway Bridge ist eine Eisenbahnbrücke über den Fluss Themse in London. Sie liegt an der Kingston Loop Line, einer Vorortslinie vom Waterloo über Wimbledon nach Shepperton. Östlich der Brücke liegt der Bahnhof Kingston im Stadtbezirk Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, westlich der Brücke der Bahnhof Hampton Wick im Stadtbezirk London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Die Brücke wurde am 1. Juli 1863 durch die London and South Western Railway eröffnet. Heute verkehren hier Züge der Bahngesellschaft South West Trains. Weblinks Kingston Railway Bridge.

Kingston Railway Bridge

Kingston Railway Bridge in Kingston upon Thames, Greater London, crosses the River Thames on the reach above Teddington Lock. It carries the Kingston Loop Line train service (for passengers only) from London Waterloo station, where the majority of services begin and end and which line includes a maintenance depot. The loop diverges from main lines at New Malden and Richmond. East and west of the bridge along the line are Kingston and Hampton Wick stations. The loop returns to the south bank of its terminus via Richmond Railway Bridge. The loop feeds a branch line, a further incentive for the 1863 construction of the bridge, the Shepperton branch line. History The present bridge was designed by John Wykeham Jacomb-Hood and built in 1907, replacing a cast-iron bridge designed by J E Errington, first discussed in 1860 and completed in 1863. The bridge has five arches: three span the Thames; two span dry land, which on the Kingston bank includes a road. The bridge has elevated track approaches varying from on viaduct to on embankment, which navigate curves and fly over an urban grid of roads. Twin power stations were close to the bridge on the Kingston bank from 1893 to 1959 as to one and from 1948 to 1980 as to the later. Being close to the Thames, coal came up river by barge, and ash was sent away the same way. The barge dock was constructed at Kingston Railway Bridge close to the present the upstream entrance to Canbury Gardens. Much of these sites has been landscaped for public park use and accommodates high-specification 21st century mid- and high-rise apartments. Operational use The bridge carries the South Western compass sector operator's suburban Kingston Loop, with trains starting and ending at its sole London terminus: Waterloo. The loop diverges from main lines at New Malden and Twickenham. Within 400 m along the line from the bridge are Kingston (to the east) and Hampton Wick (to the west). The loop returns to the south bank of the Thames via Richmond Railway Bridge on the combined, major Windsor and Reading (from Waterloo) line. The loop also feeds a branch line, the Shepperton Branch Line. Complementary uses When part of the Kingston Loop is unable to operate, the bridge enables continued passenger services, typically using the capacity of bay platform 1 at Kingston railway station, the only example on the loop. The Shepperton Branch Line branches off the loop about halfway between the two Thames bridges, and the capacity of a bay platform means various service patterns have been used since the bridge was built. Both lines are used entirely for stopping services, except when either main line is diverted, more typically the Windsor and Reading lines which must be diverted via Kingston or via Hounslow when the busiest stretches of that line are being repaired. The loop has Strawberry Hill maintenance depot which can accommodate a few regular trains.

A Kingston Railway Bridge é uma ponte ferroviária em Kingston upon Thames, Londres. Cruza o Rio Tâmisa, tendo sido discutida pela primeira vez em 1860 e concluída em 1863. No entanto, em 1907, foi projetada uma nova por JW Jacomb Hood substituindo a antiga de ferro fundido projetada por JE Errington. A ponte tem cinco arcos, três dos quais abrangem o Tâmisa e um arco de cada lado se estende por terra. O cais de balsas foi construído próxima à entrada montante para o Canbury Gardens. Um esquema de paisagismo foi desenvolvido de modo a abrir a parte da beira do rio que foi fechada ao público. Referências
Fortune Green

Fortune Green is a small area in West Hampstead, London Borough of Camden. Lying on the south-west side of the Finchley Road, Hampstead town council decided to build its overflow cemetery there in the 1840s. A guide to Hampstead Cemetery, with short biographies of selected grave occupants and maps of their location and illustrations of the more prominent monuments, was published in 2000. It now lies in the London Borough of Camden as a ward. The ward has existed since the May 1978 local elections and was redrawn in May 2002. The population of this ward at the 2011 Census was 11,740 and is associated closely with West Hampstead, evidenced in the joint Fortune Green & West Hampstead Neighbourhood Plan adopted by Camden Council in September 2015.
