The Oval

The Oval, llamado por razones de patrocinio The Kia Oval, es un estadio de críquet ubicado en Kennington, Londres, Inglaterra. En él juega como local el Surrey County Cricket Club, y tradicionalmente alberga el último partido de críquet del verano a finales de agosto o inicios de septiembre. El estadio se encuentra cerca de la estación Oval de la Northern Line del Metro de Londres. El hogar original de la selección de fútbol inglesa es este estadio. Se disputó el primero de los cinco partidos internacionales "no oficiales" entre equipos representativos de Inglaterra y Escocia entre 1870 y 1872. Después, The Oval acogió el primer encuentro internacional de Inglaterra en casa (su segundo partido), el 8 de marzo de 1873, que además supuso la primera victoria de la selección inglesa (4-2 ante Escocia), así como otros triunfos sobre Gales e Irlanda. Este fue el primer partido histórico de Inglaterra ante Escocia, donde los ingleses llevaban gorras de cricket y los escoceses capuchas. Gracias a este estilismo originó que la palabra cap, "gorra", se use en inglés para designar cualquier aparición internacional. Aún se mantiene la tradición de regalar una gorra a los internacionales ingleses. En este estadio también se jugó la primera final de la FA Cup en 1872, que resultó ganada por el Wanderers al derrotar por 1 a 0 al Royal Engineers.​ Las finales de la FA Cup se continuaron jugando en este estadio, con excepción del año 1873, hasta el año 1892.

Sur la carte, le terrain est dans la forme d'un ovale (oval en anglais). Traditionnellement, il accueille les matchs de l'équipe du Surrey, ainsi que le dernier test-match de la saison sur le sol anglais. Le terrain est desservi par la station de métro Oval. Outre les matchs de cricket, plusieurs évènements majeurs du football y ont été organisés : Ce terrain a accueilli le tout premier match de football entre l'Angleterre et l'Écosse le 5 mars 1870, bien que ce match ne soit pas reconnu par la FIFA, ainsi que la toute première finale de la Coupe d'Angleterre qui a eu lieu le 16 mars 1872. 20 finales de la Coupe d'Angleterre de football : 1872, 1874, 1875, 1876, 1877, 1878, 1879, 1880, 1881, 1882, 1883, 1884, 1885, 1886, 1887, 1888, 1889, 1890, 1891 & 1892.

The Oval

The Oval, anche Kennington Oval, è un impianto sportivo multifunzione di Londra, situato nel quartiere di Kennington. Costruito nel 1845, ospitò il primo incontro interno della Nazionale inglese di rugby, di quella di cricket e, a seguire, di quella di calcio. Tra il 1870 e il 1872 la Federazione calcistica dell'Inghilterra organizzò cinque partite di calcio tra Inghilterra e Scozia, tutte giocate a Londra, la prima delle quali si giocò all'Oval il 5 marzo 1870. Le squadre nazionali di Scozia e Inghilterra ritengono che quella sia stata la loro prima partita assoluta, nonché, di conseguenza, il primo incontro tra squadre nazionali della storia del calcio. Tale partita e le quattro successive però non sono riconosciute dalla FIFA, nonostante fossero state definite "internazionali" all'epoca, perché la squadra scozzese non era in realtà una vera e propria nazionale, ma una selezione dei migliori giocatori scozzesi residenti a Londra. A queste partite fece seguito l'incontro del 30 novembre 1872 tenutosi a Glasgow, che è ufficialmente riconosciuto come la prima partita internazionale di calcio. Nel 1872 l'impianto fu anche sede della prima finale di FA Cup, che ospitò in seguito dal 1874 al 1892. Oggi il suo uso prevalente è il cricket.

Gaol Ferry Bridge

Gaol Ferry Bridge is a footbridge in Bristol, England, that crosses the New Cut of the River Avon. It is an ornate steel lattice suspension bridge with timber decking, with a span of nearly 60 m (200 ft). History The bridge opened in 1935, replacing a ferry which crossed the New Cut near the old Bristol prison, known as the New Gaol. Unlike the Vauxhall Bridge downstream, the Gaol Ferry Bridge is a fixed bridge with no provision for the navigation of vessels unable to pass under it. However, by the 1930s, there was little navigation on the New Cut, and Vauxhall Bridge was last swung in 1936. Repairs Repair work on the bridge began in December 2021 with the bridge remaining open. At the time, it was expected that the bridge would close in January 2022 for around three months. On 5 August 2022, it was announced that the bridge would close on 22 August for repair work to take place. The work is expected to take between six and nine months and cost in the region of £1 million. As of February 2023, the repair work has been extended by at least three months, due to the bridge being in worse condition than originally thought. The bridge reopened on 8 September 2023.

Brock's Bridge

Brock's Bridge is a road bridge in Bristol, United Kingdom that crosses the River Avon. It was built to provide road access to a former railway depot that was the original planned site of the Bristol Arena. History In March 2016, the bridge was officially named Brock's Bridge, after William Brock (1830-1907), an engineer from Totterdown. A plaque was unveiled on 16 March. However, the bridge is not yet open. In 2018 the arena plans were scrapped in favour of an arena in a former aircraft hangar at Filton Airfield. The "Arena Island" site remains under development with plans for apartments, a hotel and conference centre, but as of 2023 the bridge remained a "bridge to nowhere" In December 2024, Legal & General, the owners of the brownfield site, now called "Temple Island", submitted new plans for the site. These include the construction of two office buildings, 500 new homes and a hotel. Plans were approved by Bristol City Council in April 2026. Design The bridge is 63 metres (207 feet) long and 18 metres (59 feet) wide. It was assembled from site from 137 pieces of steel.

Jubilee Swimming Pool

Jubilee Swimming Pool is a swimming pool located in Knowle, Bristol, UK. History The swimming pool was opened in 1937. In 2006, Bristol City Council proposed that the pool would close following the completion of Hengrove Park Leisure Centre. In December 2010, Parkwood Leisure took over operation of the pool on behalf of the council. In April 2011, the firm stated that it believed the pool had a viable future and that it could remain open alongside Hengrove Park. In 2017, the council launched a consultation on its plans to withdraw the £62,000 subsidy required for the pool to operate. Following protest from local residents, the council decided to renew its contract with Parkwood Leisure for another five years. The pool was threatened with closure again in August 2020 when the council launched another consultation. On 30 September 2022, management of the pool was transferred from the council to the Friends of Jubilee Pool under a 35-year lease. It is the first swimming pool in Bristol to be community owned. It will initially continue to be operated by Parkwood Leisure. References
St Mary's Gardens

St Mary's Gardens is an 18th-century garden triangle in Central London. The "square" is in the London Borough of Lambeth and has an unusual triangular shape. Since 1968 in planning policy it is a Conservation Area. Three rows of houses front its communal green, granted Grade II listed status under the statutory protective and recognition scheme in 1981 (the mainstream and initial category). Location and layout To the north is Walcot Square and Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park in which stand Imperial War Museum and two cafes (on the site of a mental-health hospital). To the west an avenue, Kennington Road, and east is West Square. The communal-green-centred street is in the SE11 postcode district. The nearest tube station is Lambeth North, 500 m north. The late Georgian three-storey terraced houses, forming its stock (some of which due to slightly raised-above subterranean-only level basements), surround a private 0.2-acre (0.081 ha) communal garden, owned and maintained by the Walcot Foundation. History Edmund Walcott, a haberdasher bequeathed the 30 acres (12 ha) on his death, in 1667, in trust for the poor of St. Mary, Lambeth, and St Olave's Church, Southwark. In 1713 the estate was partitioned between the two parishes in order that it might be developed more conveniently. With St. Mary's taking the northeastern and St. Olave's the south-western portion. In 1750–51, when the New (Kennington) Road was laid out, St. Olave's and St. Mary's parishes both sold land to the Turnpike Trustees, St. Mary's retaining part of the land on the west side of the road and St. Olave's a tiny triangular piece of land on the east side. In 1815 it was found necessary to make a further partition of the estate, since in its development two houses (Nos. 112 and 114 Kennington Road) had been built half on St. Olave's and half on St. Mary's land. The triangular piece of land to the west of Kennington Road was given to St. Mary's parish and an adjustment was made in the boundaries on the other side of the road. Film and literature Scenes for the 2016 film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (film), and the 2018 sequel Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald were filmed on the square. St Mary's Gardens is the home of Newt Scamander. St Mary's Gardens was the location of a number of scenes featured in crime drama Trigger Point.

Exeter Golf and Country Club

Exeter Golf and Country Club offers golf, rackets, gym and swimming memberships, as well as an onsite restaurant and spa facilities. It can also be hired as a wedding or corporate events venue. History Exeter Golf and Country Club was founded in April 1895 on the outskirts of Exeter city in Pennsylvania, with the first annual meeting held on 4 October. During their first meeting, it was announced that 40 people had been elected as members of the club, in addition to its founding members, comprising several local men who had an interest in the sport. Several ladies also expressed an interest to apply for admission, although none had been admitted by the time of the meeting and it was deemed necessary to prepare a women's only course before considering their admission. The club obtained ground known as Stoke Wood Farm with favourable letting arrangements. On their first anniversary in April 1896, a club house was formally opened and on the same day, the club's first match was played with Seaton, which Exeter won by 17 points. During its third annual meeting held in October 1897, membership numbers were reported to be 96, while just one match had been played during the year, which the club won. The accounts showed a balance of over £110. The committee authorised expenditure of £40 to finance a mowing machine and a horse. In 1919, Captain George Henry James Duckworth-King sold the estate; in 1927, the Wear Park estate, which was once owned by Henry III, was purchased to accommodate a new course. In October 1928, the club formally transferred from Pennsylvania to their new course at Countess Wear, around a year after the Wear House grounds were acquired by the club. The accompanying mansion was converted into a club house and the grounds adapted to provide an 18-hole course, as well as tennis recreations. The membership numbers deemed it necessary to move to a new ground, while it was expected the transfer would likely increase membership interest over the following months. By 1941, membership had reached 457 people, of which 312 were men, while in excess of 1,000 games had been played. Its longest-serving director to date is businessman Alan Eveleigh, who ran the club from 4 November 1992 to 29 October 2005. Features The modern golf course includes Wear Park Restaurant and Wear Park Spa. References
Rikkyo School in England

Rikkyo School in England (立教英国学院, Rikkyō Eikoku Gakuin) is a Japanese boarding primary and secondary school in Rudgwick, Horsham District, West Sussex. The school uses the Japanese curriculum, and is one of several Japanese schools in the UK to do so. It is a Shiritsu zaigai kyōiku shisetsu (私立在外教育施設) or an overseas branch of a Japanese private school. History It was founded in 1972 and opened with 19 students at the primary level. The school is an affiliated educational institution of the Nippon Sei Ko Kai (the Anglican Church in Japan) and shares its name with Rikkyo University, Tokyo. Initially the school used Pallinghurst House, constructed in 1902 as its classrooms, dining hall, dormitories, chapel, and staff room. Prior to its use as an educational institution, the property was used as a private hotel. George Reindorp, the Bishop of Guildford, dedicated the school. In 1973 the school's middle school opened. In 1975 the Ministry of Education of Japan approved Rikkyo School as an overseas school. Afterwards the school opened its high school division. At that time the school educated students in ages 10 through 18. Toshio Iwasaki of the Journal of Japanese Trade & Industry wrote that this school was the first Japanese high school outside Japan to open. It was the only Japanese high school outside Japan until the 1986 opening of the Lycée Seijo in France. Since opening, the school has expanded considerably and now includes a concert hall, music building, martial arts ground, a nursery school, science experiment building and sports facilities. Campus It is close to Surrey. Operations In 1972, students were to wear uniforms, and shoes were to be left away from the classrooms, like in Japan. At one time the school had proposed some staff residences that the planning committee of the Hambledon Rural Council did not approve of. Curriculum In 1972, the curriculum was to match those used in Japan, but with a stronger emphasis on the English language.
