Enfield Civic Centre

Enfield Civic Centre is a municipal building in Silver Street, Enfield, London. It is the headquarters of Enfield London Borough Council. History The civic centre was commissioned to replace the aging former offices of the local board of health in Gentleman's Row. The site selected for the new building, which had previously been occupied by open land, was acquired by the Municipal Borough of Enfield in 1939. The new building, which was designed by Eric G Broughton & Associates in the postmodern style, was completed in 1961. The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage with nine bays facing onto Silver Street; there were a series of small square windows amidst blue brickwork with a simple revolving door in the bay furthest north on the ground floor; there were nine larger windows amidst brown brickwork with two flagpoles below the window in the bay furthest north on the first floor. The New River formed a decorative feature as it flowed past the front of the building. Internally, the principal room was the council chamber on the first floor. A mural by Gerald Holtom depicting scenes from local history was installed on the staircase and a bronze statue designed by Richard Bentley Claughton depicting the Enfield Beast was erected on top of a tall pillar in front of the entrance. The civic centre continued to serve as the local of seat of government when the enlarged London Borough of Enfield was formed in 1965. It was substantially expanded by the addition of a 48.5 metres (159 ft) high, twelve-storey stainless steel tower, designed by the same firm of architects, which was erected by Costain Group at the north end of the original structure. A bridge structure, displaying the borough coat of arms, connected the original structure with the extension: the expanded complex was opened by the Queen Mother on 6 May 1975. A plaque was placed on the building to commemorate the occasion. In December 2014, a bronze statue of a smiling cherub holding a fish, which had been cast at the Singer Art Foundry and had been found abandoned at a local school, was given a new home at the civic centre. An extensive refurbishment of the complex, which included asbestos removal, a change to open plan working and new timber grill ceilings, was completed at a cost of £7 million in 2017. References

The Fulham Road Jewish Cemetery (also called Fulham Cemetery and formerly known as the Brompton Jewish Cemetery) is a Jewish cemetery on Fulham Road in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. A locked door on the Fulham Road serves as the entrance to the cemetery, otherwise it is not visible from the street. The cemetery is overlooked by the blocks of flats that surround it. Ash and plane trees are planted at the cemetery, which is 1 acre (0.40 ha) in size. It has been described as a "tiny" cemetery that is "totally unexpected in the Fulham Road" and creates an impression "more typical of Prague than London". The cemetery is owned by the Western Charitable Foundation, and is open only by appointment. History It was opened in 1815 as the burial ground for the Western Synagogue, now Western Marble Arch Synagogue. The site was purchased in December 1815 for £400. An office building and prayer hall originally stood near the entrance. The cemetery closed in 1885 although burials in reserved plots continued until 1910. It was the first Jewish burial ground west of the City of London. It was restored in 1898 funded by a Mr Ellis Franklin, whose parents were buried here, with the maintenance of the cemetery funded by £20,000 from the estate of Adel Hopkins (née Rootstein). The Edmonton cemetery was subsequently established by the Western Synagogue in 1884.

George Meehan House

George Meehan House (formerly known as Earlham Grove House, later Woodside House) is a municipal building in High Road, Wood Green, London. It is surrounded by a public park known as Woodside Park and is a locally listed building. History The building, which was designed in the Italianate style, was built as a private residence for Thomas William Smith Oakes, an East India Company merchant; it was initially known as Earlham Grove House and was completed in 1865. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with three bays facing onto High Road; the central section featured a doorway with fanlight flanked by paired Doric order columns on either side on the ground floor; there were single windows on each of the first and second floors above the doorway. The philanthropist Catherine Smithies, who founded the Band of Mercy animal welfare group which later merged with the RSPCA, lived in the house in the mid-19th century. Her son, Thomas Bywater Smithies, who was the publisher of The British Workman, also lived in the house at that time. The house was acquired by the local board of health for use as a public library in 1893 and it then became the offices of Wood Green Urban District Council in 1913. It was expanded with a single storey extension of five extra bays to the south at that time. Internally, the principal room in the extension was the council chamber but a mayor's parlour and a court for the local petty sessions were also created in the complex. The building went on to become the headquarters of the Municipal Borough of Wood Green when the area secured municipal borough status in 1933. The house remained the local town hall until the council moved to Wood Green Civic Centre in March 1958. Its role subsequently changed to that of a local register office for Haringey Council under the name Woodside House. The house was extensively refurbished by T&B Contractors at a cost of £4 million between September 2017 and June 2018. It was renamed George Meehan House, in memory of Councillor George Meehan, a former leader of Haringey Council, in 2018. The Earlham Suite at George Meehan House remains an approved venue for marriages and civil partnership ceremonies. References
Holy Trinity Church, Margate

Holy Trinity Church, Margate is a Church of England church in Margate, Kent, and in the Diocese of Canterbury. Original Trinity Church The growth of Margate during the early 19th century meant that the old church of St John was no longer large enough. The Church building act 1818 provided partial funding for church building. 24 designs were considered and that of William Edmunds was chosen. Building The foundation stone was laid on 28 September 1825. A procession from the garden of Hawley Square to the site of the new church was held beforehand, including the Archbishop of Canterbury, Sir Edward Knatchbull, MP for Kent, the Vicar, the Rev. W. F. Baylay, William Edmunds and local dignitaries. The church required more funds than initially thought and was finally consecrated on 11 June 1829. Destruction During WWII at 13:10 on 1 June 1943, during raids by the German Luftwaffe, the church chancel area was hit by a bomb dropped from a Focke-Wulf fighter bomber blowing the roof off and collapsing the north side gallery and part of the wall - ten people were killed, four seriously injured and forty-six slightly injured. The church was reduced to a shell, though the tower at the other end survived virtually undamaged. The tower later being demolished during 1958 and 1959 around the time that the new Holy Trinity church was dedicated and opened. New church The church was rebuilt between 1957 and 1959 in St Mary's Avenue near Northdown Park, Cliftonville, adjoining St Mary's Chapel, the architect was Harold Anderson.

The building is 126,279 sq. ft and has 300 car parking spaces. The project took 37 weeks to build. NHS Nightingale Hospital NE In 2020, as part of the UK's response to the COVID-19 pandemic a number of NHS COVID-19 critical care hospitals needed to be set up and the IAMP's Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Advanced Manufacturing was selected as the location of the North East region's NHS Nightingale Hospital. The site will have 460 beds available with the building divided into 16 wards. It will be operated by Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The hospital has been prepared by the British Armed forces working with the local NHS Trusts. County Durham MP Richard Holden said when announcing the hospital on 10 April that is expected to be open for patients in the following two weeks. Location The site is located just off the A19 road, next to the Nissan Motor Manufacturing UK car plant. Discussions have taken place with Nexus to assess the possibility of the extending the Tyne and Wear Metro to the business park which currently terminates at the South Hylton Metro Station on the other side of the River Wear.

Oval Mansions

Oval Mansions are eight separate blocks of tenement housing in Kennington, south London. The blocks stand between the Oval cricket ground and the Oval Gasholders. After being occupied by 100 squatters from 1983 until 2000 (notable residents including Ian Dury, Gillian Wearing, Michael Barrymore, Matthew Corbett and Ben Myers), the buildings were sold off by Lambeth Council in the early 2000s. Construction The eight blocks of the Oval Mansions were built as tenement housing in the 1890s. The original inhabitants were nurses and employees at the nearby gasworks. Some of four-storey blocks overlook the Oval cricket ground, and it is possible to watch cricket from the roof. The blocks were closed in 1979 by order of the new owner, Lambeth Council, since they were becoming unsafe; they had wooden stairs and no fire escapes. The council had bought the mainly uninhabited site from the Greater London Council. Squatted Most of the empty buildings were squatted from January 1983 onwards. Blocks 1, 3 and 4 were occupied in 1983, blocks 2 and 7 in 1984 and blocks 6 and 8 in 1985. The council having forgotten about them, the squatters renovated and repaired the apartments, living there in a community of approximately 100 people. Notable residents included the singer Ian Dury (pre 1979), artists Gillian Wearing and Fiona Banner, writer Ben Myers and musicians Pan Sonic. Between 1988 and 1998, squatters set up and ran the City Racing art gallery in a former betting shop on the ground floor. The gallery exhibited the work of Young British Artists such as Sarah Lucas and Gillian Wearing, selling three Lucas artworks to Charles Saatchi. The community also ran a film club and tended shared gardens. Eviction By the late 1990s, Lambeth Council had realised the increasing monetary value of the apartments and issued eviction proceedings in 1997. The squatters were offered social housing elsewhere, which some took, but others contested the eviction process, arguing that they were entitled to adverse possession since they had lived there as a community for over twelve years. Thirty-two squatters made their case in court, and six apartments successfully gained ownership. Judge Cooke decided that another 53 squats had not proven their case, with one extra still in dispute. The squatters took their case to the Court of Appeal, claiming that they had acquired title by virtue of joint possession. The appeal was rejected in December 2000. By 2003, Lambeth Council had sold the majority of the Oval Mansions for £5.1 million. As of 2015, a penthouse apartment could be rented for £500 per week and in 2017, a two-bed apartment sold for £730,000.
