BT Tower

A BT Tower (korábbi nevein GPO Tower, Post Office Tower vagy Telecom Tower) egy 177 (kiegészítő antennával mérve 191) méter magas telekommunikációs adótorony London városának közepén, a Fitzrovia kerületben. A BT Group nevű telekommunikációs cégcsoport tulajdona, postai kódja YTOW. 1964-es elkészültekor ez lett London és egyben az egész Egyesült Királyság legmagasabb építménye, megelőzve a Millbank Towert, ezt a státuszát egészen 1980-ig megőrizte, amikor a NatWest Tower elvette azt tőle. A BT Tower a 2010-es években London 10. legmagasabb építménye. A BT Towert a General Post Office (GPO) postahivatal megrendelésére kezdték el építeni 1961-ben, vezető építészei Eric Bedford és G. R. Yeats voltak. Az építkezés 1964. július 15-én fejeződött be, Harold Wilson miniszterelnök 1965. október 8-án nyitotta meg hivatalosan. A nagyközönség számára 1966. május 15-étől látogatható. A kommunikációs, mikrohullámú antennákon és az irodákon túl étterem, ajándékbolt és kilátószint is található a toronyban. A 70-es, 80-as évek környékén a torony kommunikációs jelentősége miatt "hivatali titok"-ként volt nyilvántartva, Location 23 néven hivatkoztak rá. 1971. október 31-én bomba robbant a torony éttermének egyik férfi mosdójában. A torony manapság is használatban van, számos televíziós- és rádiótársaság műsorsugárzását ellátja. A mikrohullámú adók mellé modernebb optikai kábeleket is felszereltek. A 2000-es évek elején restauráláson esett át, a torony felső része 360°-os kivilágítást kapott, amelyet 2009-ben kiegészítettek egy szintén 360°-os óriási LED-kijelzővel, 2009. október 31-én ezen a kijelzőn indult meg a visszaszámlálás a 2012-es londoni olimpia megnyitójáig.

BT Tower

BT Tower (pierwotnie Post Office Tower) – maszt radiowy znajdujący się w Londynie (Wielka Brytania), należący do BT Group. Główna część konstrukcji mierzy 177 metrów, a wraz ze znajdującymi się na niej antenami – 189 metrów wysokości. W 1962 roku, już w trakcie budowy BT Tower przewyższyła katedrę św. Pawła, stając się najwyższym budynkiem w Londynie. Następnie przewyższyła budowaną Millbank Tower, stając się ponownie najwyższym budynkiem Londynu, a także Wielkiej Brytanii. Tytuł ten należał do BT Tower do 1980 roku, kiedy ukończono budowę Tower 42. Budowa wieży została zlecona przez General Post Office (GPO). Jej głównym zadaniem było podtrzymywanie anten mikrofalowych, wykorzystywanych do komunikacji pomiędzy Londynem a resztą kraju, jako część sieci British Telecom. Zastąpiła ona stalową wieżę, zbudowaną na dachu sąsiadującego muzealnej centrali telefonicznej z lat 40. XX wieku, zapewniającą łącze telewizyjne pomiędzy Londynem a Birmingham. Wyższa struktura była niezbędna wobec planów budowy wieżowców w Londynie, mogących utrudnić rozchodzenie się sygnałów o dużych częstotliwościach. Wieża została zaprojektowana przez architektów Ministerstwa Budownictwa i Robót Publicznych, na czele których stali Eric Bedford i G. R. Yeats. Początkowo konstrukcja miała mieć 111 metrów wysokości, z fundamentami sięgającymi 53 metrów w głąb ziemi. Budowa BT Tower rozpoczęła się w czerwcu 1961 roku, a koszt całości przedsięwzięcia wyniósł 2,5 miliona funtów. Wieża została ukończona 15 lipca 1964 roku, a oficjalne otwarcie przez ówczesnego premiera Wielkiej Brytanii Harolda Wilsona, odbyło się 8 października 1965. Poza urządzeniami komunikacyjnymi i biurami, w wieży znajduje się sklep z pamiątkami, platforma widokowa i obrotowa restauracja „Top of the Tower”, usytuowana na 34. piętrze. W 2003 roku BT Tower została wpisana do rejestru zabytków jako obiekt II klasy. Przypisy

Warstone Lane Cemetery

Warstone Lane Cemetery, (grid reference SP059877), also called Brookfields Cemetery, Church of England Cemetery, or Mint Cemetery (from the adjacent Birmingham Mint), is a cemetery dating from 1847 in Birmingham, England. It is one of two cemeteries in the city's Jewellery Quarter, in Hockley (the other being Key Hill Cemetery). It is no longer open to new burials. A major feature is the two tiers of catacombs, whose unhealthy vapours led to the Birmingham Cemeteries Act which required that non-interred coffins should be sealed with lead or pitch. History The foundation stone for the chapel (demolished 1954) was laid on 6 April 1847. The blue brick gate lodge building, designed by J. R. Hamilton and J. M. Medland and built in 1847–8, survives, and is a Grade II listed building. The cemetery is itself Grade II on the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest. The cemetery was originally reserved for members of the established Church of England, whereas Key Hill (opened in 1836) was non-denominational, and was therefore favoured by nonconformists. In the Birmingham Blitz of World War II St Michaels and All Saints chapel in Warstone Cemetery was damaged beyond repair and later razed. Meanwhile, on the night of 11 December 1940, all but the tower and classical west portico of St Thomas' Church, Bath Row, was destroyed by German bombs. The church was not rebuilt. The grounds were laid out for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 when the gravestones were removed and the dead reinterred at Warstone Lane Cemetery. The gardens were re-designed as the St. Thomas's Peace Garden in 1995 in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II. A comprehensive list of memorial inscriptions is being prepared by The Jewellery Quarter Research Group, to be published on its website. A campaign group, The Friends of Key Hill and Warstone Lane Cemeteries, seeks to preserve and protect the cemetery. Notable burials Warrulan (circa 1835–1855) – an Aboriginal Australian, brought to England in 1845 Joseph Allday (1798–1861) – radical politician Dr Pye Chavasse (1810–1879) – medical author Harry Gem (1819–1881) – lawn tennis pioneer John Postgate (1820–1881) – surgeon and food safety campaigner Clement Mansfield Ingleby (1823–1886) – solicitor and poet James Cooper (1840–1889) – soldier awarded the Victoria Cross John Baskerville (1706–1775) – manufacturer, reinterred here in 1897: an atheist There are also buried in the cemetery 51 Commonwealth servicemen of World War I and 13 from World War II. A Screen Wall memorial, by a Cross of Sacrifice, lists those whose graves are not marked by headstones. Sources Foster, Andy (2005). Birmingham. Pevsner Architectural Guides.

Warwick Hospital

Warwick Hospital on Lakin Road in the northwest of Warwick, Warwickshire, England is run by South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust. History The facility has its origins in the infirmary built for the Warwick Union Poorhouse in Union Road (now Lakin Road) in 1848. The infirmary was extended in 1857 and 1876 with a chapel and mortuary following in 1883. A new purpose-built hospital was completed in 1903 and the old workhouse, which became known as the Warwick Public Assistance Institution, was integrated into the new hospital after 1930. The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948 and the Public Assistance Institution ceased to operate as a separate body from 1949. The main maternity unit for the district was moved from Warneford Hospital in Leamington Spa to Warwick in 1993. A new cancer centre known as the Aylesford Unit opened in a dedicated building in February 2010. The hospital also started work on a new birthing centre in 2018.

Warwick Racecourse

Warwick Racecourse is a horse racing course in Warwick, England. It is a National Hunt racing course and has a programme of 25 meetings throughout the year, many of which are televised. The first stand was built in 1808, and its most recent redevelopment was completed in 2018. In the racecourse is a nine-hole golf course and a golf driving range. The area is a popular place for local people to walk their dogs. There is parking next to the course and it is a five-minute walk away from the town centre. End of Flat racing In 2014, Jockey Club Racecourses, who run Warwick, announced plans for a 17-fixture all-Jumps race programme from 2015 and a vision for the Midlands track to become regarded as one of the UK's leading small Jumps courses within the next five years. The course had formerly staged both Flat racing and National Hunt racing but was forced to abandon Flat racing after an incident in May 2014 in which a horse, Artful Lady, had to be euthanized after a fall at the track. Four fixtures due to be staged at Warwick were transferred to other courses, and at the end of July the decision to end Flat racing at the course was announced. Warwick's final Flat fixture took place on 26 August 2014 with the last race being won by Louis Vee, ridden by Luke Morris.

Waseley Hills Country Park

Waseley Hills Country Park is 150 acres (0.61 km2) a Country Park and Local Nature Reserve owned and managed by Worcestershire County Council's Countryside Service. It consists of rolling open hills with old hedgerows, pastures and small pockets of woodland with panoramic views over Worcestershire, England. It is just south-west of Birmingham, close to Junction 4 of the M5 Motorway, from which it is signposted. The North Worcestershire Path and Illey Way long-distance paths run through the park. The park contains the source of the River Rea. The hills form part of the watershed between the Rea valley and that of the river Salwarpe, and thus between the catchments of the rivers Trent and Severn. According to Worcestershire County Council, the elevation reaches a maximum of 998 feet (304 metres). History In 1970 the Worgan charitable trust headed by Paul Cadbury offered for sale to local councils a 100-acre (40 ha) site that included Waseley and Windmill Hills for a country park. Hereford and Worcester County Council opened the Waseley Hills Country Park to the public in Easter 1976. One of the Automobile Association's 360° viewpoint markers, in the form of a concrete plinth topped with a metal plaque, was erected on top of Windmill Hill in 1978. Facilities The park has an information centre, a meeting room and café, all located in a timber-framed threshing barn, which originally stood at Lower Smite Farm in Hindlip. Other facilities include a play area and an orienteering course. The name The name may be derived from "Waer" (sheep) and "ley" (field), but the first element could be "weardsetl" (watchplace). If it is the latter, it was one of a chain of four such watchplaces along the northern boundary of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of the Hwicce, along with Wast Hills in Alvechurch, Wassell Grove to the east of Wychbury Hill in Hagley, and Wassell Wood at the southern end of Shatterford Hill at Trimpley.

Sender Washford

Der Sender Washford ist eine Mittelwellensendeanlage in der Gemeinde Washford, Grafschaft Somerset im Südwesten Englands. Die Sendeanlage entstand als vierte in Großbritannien errichtete Großsenderanlage zur flächendeckenden Versorgung des Landes mit Rundfunk. Der Betrieb wurde im Mai 1933 mit zwei Marconi-Sendern mit einer Leistung von je 50 kW aufgenommen, die das landesweite Programm und das Regionalprogramm für Südwestengland ausstrahlten. Als Sendeantenne dienten zwei 152 Meter hohe abgespannte Sendemasten, die jeweils ein Programm in Rundstrahlung ausstrahlten. Seit 1937 wird von hier das Regionalprogramm für Wales ausgestrahlt. Obwohl sich die Sendeanlage selbst nicht in Wales befindet, kann sie aufgrund der topographischen Lage in weiten Teilen empfangen werden. In den späten 1970er-Jahren wurde die gesamte Sendeanlage umgebaut. Als Sendeantenne dient seitdem eine 159 Meter lange T-Antenne, die zwischen die beiden bisherigen Sendemasten gespannt ist. Ein neu errichtetes Sendergebäude enthält drei Sendeanlagen, die BBC Radio Wales auf der Frequenz 882 kHz (100 kW), BBC Radio 1 auf 1089 kHz (50 kW) und BBC Radio 3 auf 1215 kHz (50 kW) ausstrahlten. Das historische Sendergebäude aus dem Jahr 1933 sollte nach den ursprünglichen Plänen abgerissen werden, wurde jedoch 1984 unter Denkmalschutz gestellt. 1989 wurde das Sendergebäude in einen neueröffneten Tierpark namens Tropiquaria integriert, der teilweise mit der Abwärme des Senders beheizt wird. 1993 und 1994 endeten jeweils die Ausstrahlungen von BBC Radio 1 und Radio 3 auf Mittelwelle und wurden durch Talksport und Virgin Radio (heute Absolute Radio) ersetzt, die die bisherigen Marconi-Sender durch neue, effizientere Sendeanlagen ersetzten; lediglich BBC Radio Wales nutzt weiterhin den ursprünglichen Marconi-Sender. Ein kleinerer, 45 Meter hoher freistehender Stahlfachwerkturm auf dem Gelände dient als Füllsender niedriger Leistung zur Versorgung der Region mit Fernsehsignalen.

Washford transmitting station

Washford transmitting station is a medium wave broadcasting station and low-power digital terrestrial television relay near Washford, Somerset. A smaller 45.7 metres (150 ft) mast is used to relay digital terrestrial television services from the Mendip transmitting station. This mast carries the three public service multiplexes at an E.R.P. of 12.4 W. The front portions of the old transmitter building are now part of the Tropiquaria wildlife park and house their tropical hall, aquarium, and nocturnal house. The majority of the old building became surplus to the BBC's requirements in 1981 when new, smaller equipment was installed in a separate building to the rear. Two schemes subsequently failed to materialise for the old building: one to transform it into a public swimming pool and another to replace it with a Little Chef restaurant. In 1987, a £100,000 scheme to transform the site into an aquarium and reptile house was proposed by the consortium Ark Enterprises Ltd, headed by Stephen Smith. Both a 21-year lease on the building and planning permission were acquired in 1987, and Tropiquaria opened in 1989. The transmitter building is a Grade II listed building. History It was built in 1933 and uses a T-antenna between two 152 metres (499 ft) tall guyed masts separated by a distance of 159 metres (174 yards). Originally the station used cage antennas around each mast. The station uses the frequencies 882 kHz with 10 kW, and 1089 kHz with 80 kW It was also known as Watchet. It would be near Washford Cross. The BBC West region was in Cardiff. It cost £150,000. Construction On Friday 10 June 1932 a 50 ft girder collapsed and three men were crushed, Joe Willie Rowbottom, a rigger, died in hospital at 7pm on Saturday 11 June 1932. The other injured men were Leonard Bruce and Benjamin Bryne. Transmission Transmission tests would begin on Monday 24 April 1933. The West Regional transmitter opened on 9 May 1933. Transmission tests on the national programme started on Monday 17 July 1933. Services available Analogue radio (AM medium wave) Digital television Digital television began transmitting from Washford during the digital switchover in 2010. As a low-power relay, it only carries the three public service multiplexes. Analogue television Analogue television was transmitted from Washford until the digital switchover of the Mendip transmitter group between 24 March - 7 April 2010.

Washwood Heath Academy

Washwood Heath Academy is an all through school located in the Washwood Heath ward of Birmingham, England. Originally known as Washwood Heath Comprehensive School, it opened in September 1967. It was extended in 1996 to make way for the Post-16 centre. The school became a specialist Technology College and was renamed Washwood Heath Technology College. In 2013 Washwood Heath Technology College was converted into an academy and renamed Washwood Heath Academy. David Harewood, an ex-pupil, made a documentary about turning a group of Washwood Heath pupils into Shakespearean actors in five days. Controversy In 1996, maths teacher Israr Khan interrupted a Christmas carol rehearsal performance, questioning the involvement of Muslim pupils professing to Christian theology in the festive songs. In 2002, the school became the first in Britain to have its entire governing body sacked under new government powers after an 18-month row over race and religion created internal disagreements amongst staff. The board were replaced by a council team and subsequently received praise from Ofsted. In 2010, following a General Teaching Council disciplinary hearing, teacher Jasbir Dhillon was suspended for three months for being late for class on 21 occasions. Action was taken after pupils complained about his punctuality. In 2025, the school went through a crisis where kids went to schools such as Hodge Hill College and attack students. this was called the Red v Blue school wars which led to 2 students being injured one which needed extra medical help.
