The Old Bull and Bush

The Old Bull and Bush is a Grade II listed public house at North End near Hampstead Heath in London, which gave its name to the music hall song "Down at the Old Bull and Bush", sung by Florrie Forde. It is located on North End Way. The Old Bull and Bush is managed by Mitchells and Butlers under the Premium Country Dining Group brand. The interior was renovated to a modern, gastropub style in 2006. Until the introduction of the smoking ban in England in 2007, The Bull and Bush was one of the few completely smoke-free pubs in London. History The earliest record of a building on the site is of a farmhouse in 1645. The farmhouse gained a licence to sell ale in 1721. William Hogarth drank here and is believed to have been involved in planting out the pub garden. The pub gained a music licence in 1867, when Henry Humphries was the landlord. The pub became popular as a day trip for cockneys. The building underwent a major reconstruction in 1924, when it was owned by the Ind Coope brewery. Another refurbishment took place in 1987. In 2006, the interior was renovated to a modern, gastropub style with an openly visible kitchen, and reopened to the public on 24 March that year. Bull and Bush tube station Near the pub was the site of the proposed North End tube station (also called Bull and Bush) on the Northern line of the London Underground. Only the platforms were excavated, and the station construction was cancelled. An entrance (for emergency use only) leading down 197 steps to the platform level is located on Hampstead Way.

The Old Cannon Brewery

The Old Cannon Brewery is a brewpub in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, UK. They have a roster of regular cask ales that are produced year round, as well as several popular seasonal beers that are produced at certain times of the year. It is one of two breweries in Bury St Edmunds, the other being the Greene King Brewery. History This Victorian property was originally home to the Cannon Brewery, which closed during World War I. It was later home to a Greene King pub called The St Edmunds Head, which closed in the early 1990s. The St Edmundsbury Record Office shows Pat and Liz Spillane purchased the property from Greene King in 1994, renovated the buildings, and reopened as The Old Cannon Brewery in December 1999. Brewery The seven barrel brewplant is situated in a room above the bar, by the bar and in the pub cellars. Products The names of many of the beers maintain a British nautical theme. For example, The Gunners' Daughter is reference to the practice of disciplining sailors with a lashing received while leaning over the ship's cannons, known as 'kissing the Gunner's Daughter'. Powder Monkey is a term for the young boys who carried the gunpowder on the ships and Black Pig was a derogatory term for Spanish Galleons. References Map sources for The Old Cannon Brewery
The Old Duke, Bristol

The Old Duke is a jazz and blues venue and pub in the English city of Bristol. Live music is played every night of the week, admission is free and it hosts an annual Jazz Festival. The pub's name is a reference to the classic American jazz musician Duke Ellington, though the pub has actually held the same (or similar) name since it was built, and most likely previously referred to the Duke of Cumberland. The pub dates from about 1775, an entry appearing in Sketchley's Bristol Directory of that year, for Lewis Jenkins, victualler, Lodging & Board, 'Duke of Cumberland', 44 King Street, and is a grade II listed building. The pub's heritage lies with traditional, New Orleans inspired jazz. Bands include the Blue Notes and the Severn Jazzmen, both of whom have been playing at the venue for over 35 years, Keith Little's Hot Six, Cass Caswell's Allstars, The University of Bristol Traditional Jazz Band, and many touring bands from around the world. The resident blues musician Eddie Martin, who boasts numerous international awards, plays every Sunday night. The Duke also plays host to modern jazz bands including Andy Hague, Dave Betts, Code Red and The Cut Collective. Artists such as Peter Roe and Beth Rowley began their careers at the venue and still perform there regularly. In 2009, The Old Duke was named by the Brecon Jazz Festival as one of 12 venues which had made the most important contributions to jazz music in the United Kingdom. The Old Duke is located opposite the Llandoger Trow, another notable Bristol pub. References External links Official website Map sources for The Old Duke, Bristol
The Old Engine Shed, Portland

The Old Engine Shed is a disused 19th-century shed, once used to house locomotives serving the Admiralty Quarries. The shed overlooks East Weares and is located near The Grove village area, on the Isle of Portland, Dorset. It has been a Listed Grade II building since 2001, with English Heritage recording that it is unusual for locomotive sheds from this period to survive in so unaltered a state. History The shed was built for the use of the Admiralty Quarries, housing the locomotives used on the quarry lines. The shed was used for various purposes over the span of 150 years and at one point provided stabling for quarry horses. The shed was in use until circa 1935. In 2007, plans by Portland Gas Storage Ltd were announced to turn the shed into a £1.5 million interpretation centre, as part of a £350 million gas storage facility to be housed the island. However, the project has since come to a standstill. References
The Old House, Hereford

The Old House is a distinctive black and white half-timbered house in High Town, Hereford, England, built in 1621. It was restored in the 19th century and became a museum of Jacobean life in 1929. The building was renamed the Black and White House Museum in 2017. It is part of Herefordshire Council's Museum Service. History The Old House is a well-preserved half-timbered Jacobean building in the centre of Hereford. It was built in 1621 as part of Butchers' Row. In 1816, other buildings on the row started to be demolished and now, Old House is the only remaining house from the original row. The house has been used by butchers, ironmongers, and bankers during its history. The Old House was restored in 1882. New carvings were added in 1883 by Robert Clarke and the ground floor was altered in 1882–3 by Edward Henry Lingen Barker. The coat of arms above the front door is that of the Worshipful Company of Butchers, although Hereford is reported to have had its own butchers' guild when the house was built. The fireplace in the south east room came from another house in the city and is probably 15th century. The moulded frieze on the second floor is early 18th century. In a 1931 report, the house was described as the "best preserved example of a timber framed house in the city". The Old House became a Grade I listed building in 1952. Museum Since 1929, the Old House has been a museum presenting life in Jacobean times. The house is furnished in the style of the period. Objects on display include baby walkers and wall paintings. The museum's beds include at least one from Penrhyn Old Hall. In 2017, new embroidered bedspreads were displayed on the beds in the museum. The museum has displays on three floors. Access to the upper floors is by stairs, there is flat access around the ground floor. In 2017, Herefordshire Council refurbished the Old House and changed its name to The Black and White House Museum.

Old Rectory, St Columb Major

The Old Rectory is a grade II* listed Victorian moated Rectory, located on the banks of the River Menalhyl in St Columb Major, in Cornwall, England. It is a major work by the architect William White. The house is currently under renovation by a private owner to be used as a house. Commissioned by Dr Samuel Walker, Rector of St Columb, following the speculation that the proposed Cornish bishopric would be based at St Columb. It was built in 1851, on the site of a 14th-century moated medieval house. It is an asymmetrical plan rectory in a Gothic revival style. Over the years it has undergone a range of alterations. After undergoing several uses in the past it is currently privately owned and unoccupied. In 2011 it was listed by The Victorian Society as one Britain's most endangered buildings. After years of inaction by Cornwall Council the Victorian Society launched a petition in 2015 to save the building. Photos in 2015 show the shocking state of neglect and water damage to the building.

The Old Spotted Dog Ground

The Old Spotted Dog Ground in Forest Gate is the oldest senior football ground in London. Clapton Community FC, a fan-owned club, purchased the ground in June 2020, having been initially awarded the lease. The previous tenants Clapton FC and Hackney Wick FC were ejected from The Old Spotted Dog in 2018 due in part to a breach in the lease following non-payment of rent. Clapton Community FC Women's team were able to play their first league games at The Dog from September 2022. Projects are under way as of April 2023 to refurbish the ground. On 26 April 2023, Clapton CFC hosted the first competitive match at The Dog since 2019 when they defeated Kensington Dragons 3–0. History The grounds were originally part of the Old Spotted Dog Hunting Lodge, famously used by Henry VIII. The lodge later became a pub, the Spotted Dog, still featuring parts of its original facade, is now a Grade II listed building (although closed down in 2004 the structure has since fallen into disrepair). The lands behind the pub became a sports ground, used primarily for county cricket matches before switching its usage to football. Clapton FC moved to the ground in 1888 after learning that St Bartholomew's Hospital had given up their tenancy. The former Hackney club played the first match at the ground on 29 September 1888 against Old Carthusians, winning 1–0 in front of over 4,000 spectators. The highest attendance at the ground for a Clapton match was recorded as 12,000 for an FA Cup game against Tottenham Hotspur during the 1898–99 season. Clapton's former status as one of English football's leading amateur clubs saw The Old Spotted Dog host a number of high-profile matches, including contests with, West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur and Ajax of Amsterdam. Neighbours, West Ham, also used the ground as home to their youth and 'A' teams during the 1960s and brought their World Cup winning stars to feature in The Dog's first match under floodlights in 1966. During World War II the ground was used as an anti-aircraft station. Tenancy dispute At the start of the 2019–20 season, Clapton FC lost the lease for the ground, due to non-payment of rent. This marked the end of their 140-year playing history at the site. On 17 September 2019, it was announced that Clapton Community FC, a fan-owned club built by former fans of Clapton FC in 2018, had been awarded the lease to the ground, allowing the new fan operated club to play there. On 24 July 2020, Clapton Community FC announced that they had purchased the freehold for The Old Spotted Dog and become the new owners. See also Football in London References
The Old Wellington Inn

The Old Wellington Inn is een pub en beschermd monument in Manchester, gelegen op een honderdtal meter van de kathedraal van Manchester en de Irwell. Het gebouw dateert uit 1552 en is in tudorstijl, met vakwerk op een stenen fundament; dit is het oudste dergelijke gebouw van Manchester. Het etablissement behoort tot de keten Nicholson’s Pubs. Geschiedenis The Old Wellington Inn werd tweemaal verhuisd. Het gebouw bevond zich oorspronkelijk ongeveer 300 meter verder van de kathedraal verwijderd op een oudere marktplaats (The Shambles) en werd eind jaren 1970 en in 1999 integraal verplaatst, toen het nieuwe plein Shambles Square werd aangelegd. De familie Byrom opende in 1554 een lakenhandel in het gebouw; een telg van deze familie was de dichter John Byrom, uitvinder van de fonetische stenografie, die in 1692 in de zaak werd geboren; hiervoor hangt een herdenkingsplaquette in de inn. Na toevoeging van een verdieping in de 17de eeuw, werd de benedenverdieping in 1830 als pub ingericht; de naam Wellington Inn dateert uit 1865. De bovenverdiepingen deden dienst als winkel van optische instrumenten en later visgereedschap. In de late jaren 1970 werd het gebouw met 1,4 meter opgehoogd en verplaatst, teneinde plaats te ruimen voor het winkelcentrum Manchester Arndale, en heropend in 1981. Het Provisional Irish Republican Army pleegde op 15 juni 1996 een bomaanslag in het centrum van Manchester, waarbij 212 gewonden vielen en The Old Wellington Inn zware schade opliep. De reparatiewerkzaamheden, die circa £ 500.000 kostten, waren in februari 1997 voltooid. Echter was men toen bezig met de planning voor het creëren van Shambles Square, dus heeft men het hele gebouw in 1999 nogmaals circa 100 meter verschoven, tezamen met de belendende Sinclair’s Oyster Bar.

The Old Zoo

The Old Zoo is a modern country house in Brockhall Village, Lancashire, England, 6 miles (10 km) south-west of Clitheroe. It was finished in 2000 on the site of the old petting zoo of Brockhall Hospital. It was designed through a competition held by RIBA. The house was commissioned by property tycoon Gerald Hitman in 1997, and the winning design chosen out of over 120 entries was by Homa and Sima Farjadi. The New York Museum of Modern Art named The Old Zoo as one of 26 examples of the finest present-day house design worldwide in 1999. It has 15 acres (61,000 m2) of gardens. It was featured on the BBC Four program Living with the Future. John Tempest, former RIBA vice president, called it "the best contemporary house built in England since the 1930s" and Giles Worsley, former architecture editor of the Daily Telegraph called it "the most radical house in England".

Oldershaw School

The Oldershaw School, formerly Oldershaw High School, is a secondary school located in the Liscard area of Wallasey, England, and is a specialist Business and Enterprise College. History Grammar School John Oldershaw, M.D., J.P., Mayor of Wallasey founded the school in 1920, and it opened on 11 September 1920. Extensions to the school were opened on 4 June 1926. The first headteacher was Mr. H.G. Mayo, M.A. It was administered by the County Borough of Wallasey. By 1968 it had 700 pupils. Wallasey Grammar School was a separate establishment based on Withens Lane, which moved to Leasowe in 1967 and is now The Kingsway Academy (formerly The Wallasey School). Comprehensive Initially, having separate sections for boys and girls, with segregated teaching except for 'A' Level courses, Oldershaw became a comprehensive school in 1968, initially retaining the name of Oldershaw Grammar School although for ages 13–18. The school then included four 'houses': Durham, York, Lancaster and Chester. Prior to this the houses of the boys' grammar school were defined as colours: Blue, Gold, Red and Green whilst the girls' high school houses were Oak, Fir, Beech and Elm. Wirral Education Authority rationalised their middle school system in 1982, and added an extra year to primary schools (Now referred to as Year 6) and two years into secondary schools (Years 7 and 8). To accommodate these two extra years Oldershaw was expanded to include a Lower School (opening in September 1982), under K. R. M. Williams, at the site of the old St. Hilda's School in Ormond Street; it was later moved to the same site as the main school in time for the autumn term of 2000, and the Lower School site was demolished to make way for new housing. The school has undergone major developments. The original sixth form building was demolished to make way for a new main entrance building. The Oldershaw Academy On 30 June 2011 The Oldershaw School became an academy. Notable past pupils M. C.

The Oratory, Liverpool

The Oratory stands to the north of Liverpool Anglican Cathedral in Merseyside, England. It was originally the mortuary chapel to St James Cemetery, and houses a collection of 19th-century sculpture and important funeral monuments as part of the Walker Art Gallery. It is a Grade I listed building in the National Heritage List for England. History The Oratory was built in 1829, and used for funeral services before burials in the adjacent cemetery. It was designed by John Foster. When the cemetery closed, the building fell into disuse. In 1986 it came under the care of National Museums Liverpool, and is used to contain a collection of sculptures and statues. Architecture The building is in the form of a Greek Doric temple. At each end is a portico with six columns. There are no windows and the building is lit from above. Inside, a coffered ceiling is supported by Ionic columns. Pollard and Pevsner consider this to be Foster's best surviving building. On 28 June 1952 it was designated as a Grade I listed building. In the National Heritage List for England it is described as "one of the purest monuments of the Greek Revival in England". Around the Oratory are cast iron railings and gate piers that have been listed at Grade II. Collection Inside the building is a collection of monuments, mainly Neoclassical reliefs, many of which were brought here from demolished buildings in the 1980s. These include a monument dated 1834 given to the Nicholson family by Francis Chantrey, one to William Earle, who died in 1839, by John Gibson, to Dr William Stevenson, who died in 1853, by J. A. P. Macbride, to William Hammerton, who died in 1832, by Gibson, to William Ewart, who died in 1823, by Joseph Gott, to Emily Robinson, who died in 1829, by Gibson, and to Agnes Jones, who died in 1868, by Pietro Tenerani.

The Orchard (tea room)

The Orchard is a tea room and garden in the English village of Grantchester, near Cambridge, serving morning coffee, lunches and afternoon teas. Since opening in 1897, it has been a popular retreat for Cambridge students, teachers and tourists, as well as locals, with many famous names among its patrons. The Orchard is open year-round, and is most pleasantly approached by punt along the River Cam, or along the footpath and cycleway through the Grantchester Meadows. History The orchard was planted in 1868, opposite the ancient Church of St Andrew and St Mary. By the 1890s the adjoining house and its grounds were in the hands of a Mrs Stevenson, who served tea to lodgers and visitors on the front garden. A group of Cambridge students asked the landlady if she could serve their refreshments in the orchard instead. This practice soon became the norm, and the place grew in popularity. The poet Rupert Brooke took up lodging in Orchard House in 1909. A handsome young man of great charisma and talent, Brooke soon attracted a great following at the place, among them Virginia Woolf, John Maynard Keynes, E.M. Forster, Bertrand Russell, Augustus John, and Ludwig Wittgenstein – the so-called Grantchester Group, or the neo-pagans as Woolf called them. Brooke later lodged in a neighbouring house, the Old Vicarage, and immortalised both houses in his poem The Old Vicarage, Grantchester. Written while Brooke was in Berlin in 1912, the poem ends with the lines: Stands the church clock at ten-to-three?And is there honey still for tea? Subsequently, the ownership of Orchard House and the tea room passed to Robin Callan, originator of the Callan Method for the study of English by non-native speakers.

The Parade Shopping Centre

The Parade Shops, formerly the Royal Salop Infirmary, is a specialist shopping centre at St Mary's Place in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England. It is a Grade II listed building. History The original facility on the site was the Salop Infirmary designed by William Baker of Audlem and completed in 1745, converting a mansion named Broom Hall which had been a local house of Corbet Kynaston. The infirmary was completely rebuilt to a design by Edward Haycock, with occasional inspections by Sir Robert Smirke, in the Greek Revival style in 1830. An additional wing was completed in 1870 and it was renamed the Royal Salop Infirmary in 1914, after a visit by King George V. A further wing, with beds for 8 maternity cases and 22 children was begun in 1925 and completed in 1927. It joined the National Health Service in 1948. The hospital was closed, after structural difficulties were experienced, on 20 November 1977. After services transferred to the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital by 1979, the Royal Salop Infirmary buildings were acquired by a developer who converted it into a shopping centre in the early 1980s. Notable staff of Royal Salop Infirmary Job Orton, dissenting minister, was first board secretary of the infirmary in 1745-47. William Farr, statistician, was originally employed as a dresser (surgeon's assistant) there in 1826. Thomas Bucknall Lloyd, later Archdeacon of Salop, had been hospital chaplain. Charles Maude, later Archdeacon of Salop, was appointed hospital chaplain in 1901. References External links The Parade Shops
