Dymchurch Martello Tower

Dymchurch Martello Tower is a Martello tower in Dymchurch, Kent England. It stands immediately behind the sea wall. It has been designated by English Heritage as a scheduled monument and a Grade II listed building. The towers, ranging along the Kent and East Sussex shoreline, were built in the early years of the nineteenth century as part of a coastal defence programme against a threatened French invasion under Napoleon. The 24th of 75 such towers, it was placed to protect the gates of marsh sluices with its counterpart Tower no 25 (which is now largely derelict). Tower 23 was restored externally in the early 1970s and is currently a private residence. Tower 24 was then restored using Tower 23 as a guide. In 1969, it became the first Martello tower to be opened to the public and remains as a museum of the Martello Towers, owned by English Heritage. It has a 24-pounder muzzle-loading cannon on the gun platform. The Friends of Martello24 act as custodians of the tower on behalf of English Heritage and manage its openings to the public, both on a regular basis and bespoke visits. The tower is open every Saturday, Sunday and bank holiday from 2 pm to 4 pm, Easter to October.

Gaters Mill

Gaters Mill is a complex of buildings on the River Itchen in the civil parish of West End, Hampshire. The complex forms part of the Gaters Mill & Romill Close Conservation Area, and includes a Grade II listed farmhouse and some cottages from a farm called Black Farm. The boundary of the borough runs alongside Gaters Mill, and the other side of the border is part of the Itchen Valley Conservation Area, designated by Southampton City Council. History There have been mills on the site since the 13th or 14th century. The timber-framed Black Farm farmhouse dates from the 16th century. The mill had several previous names, namely South Stoneham Mill, Up Mill and Mansbridge Mill. The original mills were fulling mills, but in 1685 the mill - at that time known as Up Mill - was established as a paper mill, belonging to a company whose charter was granted by James II. The company consisted of fifteen members, of which nine were French refugees, mainly Huguenots. They were joined in 1702 by another Huguenot named Henry Portal, who went on to establish a further paper mill at Laverstoke near Whitchurch in 1718, and six years later he was awarded the contract for making paper for bank notes. The mill stopped being used for manufacturing paper in 1865, at which point it was largely demolished and rebuilt as a flour mill. The buildings were damaged in a major fire in 1916–17 and several were replaced. During the Second World War the complex was used as a munitions store and suffered further damage. Subsequently, the buildings were occupied by small businesses and the Lower Itchen Fishery Ltd; in the 1990s the buildings were redeveloped and refurbished for use as offices. The farmhouse, formerly Black Farm, was Grade II listed on 3 October 1978. The area around Gaters Mill was designated a conservation area by Eastleigh Borough Council on 25 May 1989, and this was extended to include the nearby street, Romill Close, on 12 September 1991.

Lancaster Moor Hospital

Lancaster Moor Hospital, formerly the Lancaster County Lunatic Asylum and Lancaster County Mental Hospital, was a mental hospital in Lancaster, Lancashire, England, which closed in 2000 (the mental health departments left in 1991, but others remained). History The main building, which was designed by Thomas Standen, was opened as the First Lancashire County Asylum in 1816. It was extended at various times until 1850, and is Grade II* listed. A further building, which was designed by Arnold W. Kershaw in the gothic style and known as "the Annexe", was completed in 1883 and is Grade II listed, as are its walls, railings, and gateways. The hospital's chapel, which was designed by Edward Graham Paley, was built in 1866 and is also Grade II listed. A female doctor, Catherine Arnott, was one of the asylum's early resident Medical Officers. Campbell House, a facility for paying "gentlemen" patients, was completed in 1909 and the Ladies' Villa, a facility for paying "lady" patients, was completed in 1916. The Ladies' Villa, also known as Ridge Lea, was large enough to be classed separately as a small Mental Asylum. The hospital was renamed as Lancashire County Mental Hospital in 1930, and as Lancaster Moor Hospital in 1948. The hospital was a pioneering site for the humane treatment of the mentally ill with the introduction of treatments such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). The writer Alan Bennett describes his mother's treatment in the hospital in his memoirs. Following the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and closed in 2000. The Ladies Villa "Ridge Lea" was abandoned after closing in 2013. It is currently used as a dog training ground for Lancashire Police and is surrounded by metal fencing to deter urban explorers, as it is a prime area for exploring. A project to convert the annexe and chapel into apartments and to build houses in the grounds, was completed in 2016.

Milton Chantry

Milton Chantry is a former chantry chapel in Gravesend, Kent England. It houses the Chantry Heritage Centre, displaying a range of exhibits relating to Gravesend, Northfleet, and the nearby villages. It is within the Fort Gardens and is designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building. History Milton Chantry is the oldest building in the Borough of Gravesham, in the former parish of Milton. It was built in 1322 by Aymer de Valence the Earl of Pembroke as a chantry chapel. Milton Chantry is all that remains of the Hospital of St. Mary the Virgin leper hospital. The purpose of a chantry chapel was to say prayers for the souls of the dead. Many wealthy people built chantry chapels and gave them land to generate an income, in order to maintain a priest to pray for the owner and his family. The Milton Chantry housed a number of priests appointed by the Bishop of Rochester until around 1524. It was then dissolved into Crown hands as part of Henry VIII's reformation of the churches. The building then became a family home (after a few alterations) and farm, but by the end of the 17th century it had become an inn and tavern named New Tavern. Between 1780 and 1918, New Tavern Fort occupied the area around the chantry building. The tavern was converted into part of the fort's barracks. The New Tavern Fort was significantly altered between 1868 and 1871 under the direction of Charles George Gordon. The tavern and barracks were restored in 1852 and 1862. In 1932, the fort was converted into a park for the residents of Gravesend. During the World War II, the basement of the chantry chapel was converted into a gas-decontamination chamber. Following the war, the chapel was converted into the local museum named the Chantry Heritage Centre. It is under the care of the Gravesend Local History Society.

The Punch Tavern

The Punch Tavern is a Grade II listed public house at 98–100 Fleet Street, Holborn, London. The pub previously on this site was called the Crown and Sugar Loaf, but was renamed as the Punch Tavern in the 1840s, as Punch magazine had its office nearby at that end of Fleet Street. It was rebuilt by the architects Saville and Martin in two phases, first the main part area of the pub and its Fleet Street frontage in 1894–95, and then its Bride Lane frontage with a "Luncheon Bar" behind in 1896–97.

Smithfield Market Hall

Smithfield Market Hall is a renovated market hall on Swan Street in Manchester, England, which houses a food hall known as Mackie Mayor. The hall reopened in 2017 after years of dereliction. History The area now known as part of the Northern Quarter in Manchester was named Smithfield Market in May 1822 because the potato market had moved to the area in 1820. As the market became more popular, more land was acquired in 1850. Built between 1857 and 1858 and roofed over with iron trusses in 1865, the hall replaced an earlier butchers' shambles on the same site. As the area continued to expand, a retail fish market was built the same year; the building has since been demolished however its extension built in two stages has survived. At its peak in 1897, the market place covered four and a half acres in Manchester City Centre stretching from Swan Street in Ancoats in the north, Thomas Street in the Northern Quarter, Shudehill to the east and Oak Street to the west. In these various markets the public could obtain fish, meat, fruit and vegetables; its influence was such that it spread further into Ancoats and through its Italian community spawned an ice-cream manufacturing industry. The market was policed at various points by Manchester Market Police. Mackie Mayor The Mackie Mayor is the only remaining fully intact building from the former Smithfield market. Opened in 1858, it was initially used as a market, but had lain empty since the early 1990s. Other parts of the market have since been converted into other uses such as the fish market. The original Smithfield Market was closed in 1972 and parts of the complex were demolished, the market stalls were relocated to West Gorton at the New Smithfield Market. The Market Hall was Grade II listed in 1973. Gallery External links Smithfield Conservation Area at Manchester City Council References
St Dunstan of Canterbury Orthodox Church

St Dunstan of Canterbury Orthodox Church is an Antiochian Orthodox church in Parkstone, Poole, Dorset. It is the parish church for Bournemouth and Poole within the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of The British Isles and Ireland. A Grade II* listed building, the church was built in the early 20th century in Neo-Byzantine style by the architects G. A. B. Livesay, Edward Schroeder Prior and Arthur Grove as the Anglican Church of St Osmund. Its west front has been called Prior's final tour de force of church architecture. Closed by the Church of England in 2001, and declared redundant, it subsequently became an Orthodox church and was rededicated, first as St Stephen the Great Church, and then as St Dunstan's. History In 1904–05 Bournemouth architect G. A. B. Livesay built the eastern end of the church, establishing a Byzantine style in brick and terracotta which was followed sympathetically by the later architects. The chancel has a semi-domed apse and a semicircular ambulatory. It contains a ciborium built over the crypt, evoking the Basilica of San Clemente in Rome. The church was completed by the Arts and Crafts architect Edward Schroeder Prior, in collaboration with Arthur Grove who seems to have concentrated on the finer detailing. It was Prior's last major work. Most was built during 1913–16, but the north aisle and transept were only completed in 1927. Prior used multicoloured handmade bricks from Wareham, and his own patented thick handmade stained glass. He used reinforced concrete for the dome over the crossing and the barrel vaults of the aisles; flaws in the concrete necessitated some later rebuilding by other architects in 1922 and 1950. Below the dome, the column at each corner of the crossing has four terracotta angels, with outstretched wings, attached to its capital. The imposing west front displays an eclectic mix of styles, and has been described as being prophetic of Expressionism. The central double door is surmounted by a shallow terracotta arch which extends between two flanking, polygonal turrets. Above, there is a balustrade and a 12-division terracotta wheel window containing geometrical patterns of stained glass. At the top there is an arcade surmounted by a gable, and Byzantine-style cupolas on the turrets. The church has more wheel windows, of 8 divisions, at the transept ends. Further problems with the concrete vaulting, as well as low attendance numbers among the congregation, prompted the Church of England's closure of the church in 2001. It was thereafter sold to the jurisdiction of the Eastern Orthodox Church, first to the Romanian and then to the Antiochian authority, in which hands it remains today. Organ The 1931 church organ was built by John Compton. Its functional parts were given to a church elsewhere after the taking on of the building by the Orthodox Church (since in that tradition there is no usage of musical instruments during services) though its exterior structure remains.

St Luke's Church, Pendleton

St Luke's Church is an Anglican church that stands on raised ground in Liverpool Street, Pendleton, Salford. The church, in the parish of Weaste, Seedley and Langworthy, is part of the Salford All Saints Team Ministry in the Salford deanery and the Manchester diocese. It was designated as a Grade II* listed building in 1980. Architecture The church was designed in the Neo-Gothic style by the architect George Gilbert Scott and opened in 1865. In 1878 a chancel chapel was added to the east end of the north aisle in memory of Edward Tootal, an early benefactor. The church is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble with a plain tiled roof. The nave has a clerestory and aisles and the tower is supported by large circular columns with carved capitals. The chancel has a striking decorated roof and a semicircular apse and attached parallel chapels. The church is rich in stained glass, some by Charles Eamer Kempe. The organ was originally built in 1865 by the London-based firm, William Hill & Sons. It was rebuilt in 1947 by the Liverpool firm, Rushworth and Dreaper, and dedicated to those people of the Parish who lost their lives during the Second World War, (most of the original 1865 pipe work remains). From 1947 - 2006, the organist was Mr Eric Chadwick, FRMCM FRCO, who was the resident organist and Chorus Master to the Halle Orchestra until the mid 1970s. He was also Professor of Organ at the Royal Northern College of Music, past pupils include the renowned recitalist, Gordon Stewart. The organ is now in a bad state of repair, with the need of a major overhaul. Since the building was renovated in the 1920s it has remained largely unchanged. The church is currently on the National Heritage at Risk Register because of damage caused by its leaking roof. The current incumbent is Daniel Burton. Events Emmeline Goulden, leader of the British suffragette movement married Richard Pankhurst at St Luke's on 18 February 1879.

The Trout Inn, Lechlade

The Trout Inn is a pub next to the River Thames at Lechlade, Gloucestershire, England. The Grade II listed stone building consists of two two-storey structures, one late medieval and the other added in the 18th century. The building began as an almshouse for workers on the adjoining St John's Bridge in the 1220s, before becoming part of a priory and then an inn. Location The pub is located on the Thames Path close to St John's Lock and St John's Bridge, where the River Cole and the River Leach join the Thames on opposite banks. Mooring for boats is available and small boats can be hired from the pub garden. The pub is on the A417 on the outskirts of Lechlade. There is a camp site next to the pub. The pub owns 2 miles (3.2 km) of fishing rights. History The building was started in the 1220s by Peter Fitzherbert as a hospital or almshouse, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, which had the mandate of caring for workmen on the bridge. The building was part of the Augustinian Lechlade Priory founded in the 13th century by Isabella de Mortimer; in 1252 Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall became its patron. The priory survived until its dissolution in 1472. At that time, the building became known as an inn called Ye Sygne of St John Baptist Head. The name was changed to The Trout Inn in 1704. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, The Trout provided the residence for the lock keeper of St John's Lock; this function was discontinued in 1830 when a lock house was built. The pub is a venue for regular music events, particularly jazz, though one event in January 2014 had to be cancelled because of flooding. The pub serves draught beer and is Cask Marque accredited. Architecture The original, two-storey structure is late medieval. Its interior incorporates timber-beamed ceilings. Near the end of the 18th century, a two-storey addition was made on the northern side; this building features stone construction and a slate roof. The newer structure features a pair of 12-pane sash windows on each floor, a half-glazed door, and a gabled entryway. To the rear of the buildings lie an old-fashioned garden, an orchard, and a pool.

Walney Lighthouse

Walney Lighthouse is a functioning lighthouse located on Walney Island in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England. The current building dates to the early 19th-century and is Grade II* listed as well as being the southernmost man-made structure in Cumbria. Completed in 1804, the stone lighthouse and its attached cottages actually predate Barrow and its port. The structure was built to replace a smaller wooden lighthouse that was constructed by the Lancaster Quay Commissioners in 1790 to aid in navigation towards the docks at Glasson close to Lancaster and the River Lune. It contained three 3-foot (0.91 m) reflectors mounted on a slowly revolving shaft; the reflectors consisted of a concave wooden frame covered with small pieces of mirrored glass. The original lighthouse was destroyed by fire in 1803 and was swiftly replaced by the lighthouse of today. The lighthouse was designed by engineer E. Dawson. The optical system (as renewed in 1846) was a clockwork-driven rotating array of four Argand lamps backed by parabolic reflectors, which gave a white flash once a minute. The lighthouse saw little change until 1909, when an acetylene gaslight system was installed, this was again changed in 1953 to a 'manned' electric light and rotation system (still with the four reflectors), flashing once every fifteen seconds. In 2003, when it was finally automated, Walney was the last manned lighthouse in England. It was also the last to be using a catoptric apparatus; that year the reflectors were replaced by a modern electric light unit.

Phare de Walney

Le phare de Walney est un phare situé sur l'île de Walney proche de Barrow-in-Furness, dans le comté du Cumbria en Angleterre. Il est maintenant protégé en tant que Monument classé au Royaume-Uni de Grade II* depuis 1976. Histoire L'Île de Walney est une île longue d'environ 15 km en bout de la péninsule de Furness. L'île est accessible par un pont. Le premier phare, une structure en bois, a été construit à l'extrémité sud de l'île en 1790. Il a été détruit par un incendie en 1803. Mais avant cet événement l'île s'était étendue au sud et ensuite à l'est par une langue sablonneuse. Cette extension est maintenant devenue une réserve naturelle (South Walney Nature Reserve) gérée par la Cumbria Wildlife Trust. Le phare actuel a été construit en 1804. C'est une tour octogonale en pierre blanche de 24 m, avec galerie et lanterne. La maison de gardien duplex de 2 étages est maintenant une résidence privée.

Svjetionik Walney

Svjetionik Walney je svjetionik nalazi se na otoku Walney u Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, Engleska. Trenutna zgrada datira s početka 19. stoljeća i najjužnije je građevina koju je čovjek stvorio u Cumbriji. Dovršen 1804. godine, kameni svjetionik i pripadajuće kućice zapravo su prethodili Barrowu i njegovoj luci. Konstrukcija je sagrađena kako bi zamijenila manji drveni svjetionik koji su 1790. godine izgradili Lancaster Quay Commissioners kako bi pomogli u plovidbi prema pristaništima u Glassonu blizu Lancastera i rijeke Lune. Sadržao je 3 90-centimetarska reflektora postavljena na sporo-rotirajuće vratilo; reflektori su se sastojali od udubljenog drvenog okvira prekrivenog malim komadićima zrcalnog stakla. Izvorni svjetionik uništen je vatrom 1803. godine, a brzo ga je zamijenio današnji svjetionik. Svjetionik je projektirao inženjer E. Dawson. Optički sustav (obnovljen 1846. godine) bio je rotirajući niz od četiri Argandove svjetiljke na satnom mehanizmu, poduprt paraboličnim reflektorima, koji su davali bijeli bljesak jednom u minuti. Svjetionik se malo mijenjao sve do 1909. godine, kada je instaliran sustav acetilenskog plinskog svjetla, a to je ponovno promijenjeno 1953. godine u električno svjetlo i rotacijski sustav s posadom (još uvijek s četiri reflektora), trepereći svakih petnaest sekundi. Godine 2003., kada je napokon automatiziran, Walney je bio posljednji svjetionik s posadom u Engleskoj. Također je bio posljednji koji je koristio katoptrijski aparat; te godine reflektori su zamijenjeni modernom električnom svjetlosnom jedinicom. Izvori Vanjske poveznice
