Phare de Portland Bill High

Le phare de Portland Bill High (maintenant en anglais : Old Higher Lighthouse) est un phare désaffecté situé sur Portland Bill (en), une péninsule à l'extrémité sud de l'Île de Portland, dans le comté du Dorset en Angleterre. Ce phare fut géré par la Trinity House Lighthouse Service de Londres, l'organisation de l'aide maritime des côtes de l'Angleterre. Il est maintenant protégé en tant que monument classé du Royaume-Uni de Grade II depuis 1978 . Histoire La côte environnante de Portland, à savoir Portland Bill et Chesil Beach (en), a été connu à cause des nombreux navires qui ont fait naufrage au cours des siècles. Après des années de pétitions locales à Trinity House, celle-ci a reconnu la nécessité d'un phare sur cette péninsule. Le roi George Ier a accordé une patente à Trinity House en 1716 pour sa construction. Deux phares ont été construits sur Portland Bill, celui-ci à Branscombe Hill, et l'autre, le Old Low Lighthouse, sur un terrain en-dessous. Les deux phares ont été mis en service le 29 septembre 1716. En 1788, Trinity House avait installé des lampes de type Argand dans le phare qui fut le premier d'Angleterre à en être équipé. En 1869, les deux phares ont été reconstruits. Au début du XXe siècle, Trinity House a proposé les plans d'un nouveau phare à Bill Point, pour remplacer les deux phares actuels. Le nouveau phare, le phare de Portland Bill a été achevé en 1905. À sa mise en service, les deux phares d'origine ont été mis en vente aux enchères. En 1923, le phare a été acheté par le médecin, pionnier du contrôle des naissances et la fondatrice du Portland Museum, Marie Stopes, comme résidence d'été. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale le Royal Observer Corps (en), une organisation de défense civile, a utilisé la tour du phare comme tour d'observation. Au début des années 1960, le phare fut transformé en restaurant. Les derniers propriétaires ont acheté le phare en 1981 et ont rénové l'ensemble de la propriété. Le magasin à paraffine du phare a été converti en une location de vacances. Avec un total de quatre chalets sur le terrain, l'ensemble de la station est disponible en résidences de vacances.

Old Holy Trinity Church, Wentworth

The Old Holy Trinity Church is a redundant Anglican church in the village of Wentworth, South Yorkshire, England. It is partly in ruins, and stands close to a newer church also dedicated to the Holy Trinity. The old church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building, and is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. History The tower dates from the 14th–15th century, while the rest of the church was rebuilt in 1684 for William Wentworth, 2nd Earl of Strafford. A new church, designed by J. L. Pearson was built nearby in 1872–76. The nave of the old church was dismantled in the later part of the 19th century. In 1925 the chancel and a chapel were restored for William Wentworth-Fitzwilliam, 7th Earl Fitzwilliam. Further renovation was carried out in 1985. Holy Trinity was declared redundant on 12 February 1975, and was vested in the trust on 2 July 1976. Architecture The tower is constructed in ashlar sandstone and the rest of the church in rubble sandstone. The roofs of the chancel and chapel are in stone slate. Its plan consists of a west tower, a partly ruined five-bay nave, and a chancel with a north chapel. The truncated tower has two stages. In the lower stage is a small west window, and in the upper stage are two-light bell openings. Only the south wall of the nave remains. This has a central protruding doorway flanked by Ionic pilasters, and round-arched windows without tracery or glass. The chancel has a central south door with a cartouche above it, on each side of which are two-light round-headed windows. Both the chapel and the chancel have three-light windows. On the north wall are a two-light and a three-light window, while on the west wall are two three-light windows. Inside the chancel is a chancel arch and a two-bay arcade. There are a number of memorials, the most important of which are to the Earls of Strafford and other members of the Wentworth family. Other fittings have been removed. In the west end of the chancel are steps leading down to the Fitzwilliam vault.

Old Joint Stock Theatre

The Old Joint Stock Theatre is a studio theatre and pub located at 4 Temple Row West in the centre of Birmingham, England, opposite St Philip's Cathedral. The listed building was designed as a library but owes its present name to its use by the Birmingham Joint Stock Bank. History The present day theatre and pub is housed in a Grade II listed building built as a library by architect J. A. Chatwin in 1862. The building was acquired by the Birmingham Joint Stock Bank, established in 1861. The bank had four branches within the city; the oldest one, here in Temple Row, was opened for business in 1862. The Joint Stock Company amalgamated with Lloyds Bank in 1889. The building was then used as a branch of Lloyds Bank. It was converted into a pub in 1997. The theatre opened in 2006 with the £350,000 cost being provided by the owners Fuller, Smith & Turner. The design of the theatre was important and an ex theatre manager was used as a consultant during the construction. This consultant was the first manager of the pub and theatre. Description The theatre seats 95 in a flexible arrangement, and is located on the second floor of the building. The venue hosts mostly theatre performances. It has a resident musical theatre company (The Old Joint Stock Musical Theatre Company, aka OJSMTC). The venue programme has also included music, comedy and dance. The theatre includes full dressing and green room facilities, a box office and a theatre bar for interval drinks, as well as a demountable stage and seating that allows each production or hire to inhabit the space to its best potential. The theatre attracts companies and artists from across the region and nationally, including Kerry Ellis, Mrs Barbara Nice, Stewart Lee, Reginald D Hunter, Jim Jefferies and Tom Allen. The theatre also hosts corporate evenings and offers casino, comedy, wedding receptions etc. See also The Spread Eagle Theatre, the Old Joint Stock Theatre's sister venue in Croydon References External links Official website Archived 8 October 2007 at the Wayback Machine The Old Joint Stock Theatre – Birmingham Box Office Archived 30 September 2007 at the Wayback Machine
Old King's Head Hotel, Chester

The Old King's Head Hotel is a hotel and public house at 48–50 Lower Bridge Street, on the corner of Castle Street, Chester, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. History The building was constructed in about 1208. It was the town house for Peter the Clerk, the administrator of Chester Castle. It initially contained a section of the Chester Rows, but these were enclosed during the alterations made between the 15th and early 17th centuries. The latest of these alterations were made for Randle Holme I. Inside the building on the middle floor you can still see evidence of the original Chester rows as the support pillars are still in place. The building was restored in 1935, and again during the 1960s. Architecture It is basically a timber-framed building, part of which has been refaced with yellow sandstone, and with brick that has been painted or rendered. The roofs are slated. The building is in three storeys, of which the upper storey facing Lower Bridge Street is jettied. Both faces have three bays. The three bays on Lower Bridge Street are gabled, as is the middle bay on Castle Street. See also Grade II* listed buildings in Cheshire West and Chester References
Old Market Hall, Shrewsbury

The Old Market Hall (in recent years branded as the "OMH") is an Elizabethan building situated in the town centre of Shrewsbury, the county town of Shropshire, England. It is a Grade I listed building. History A market hall has stood on the site since the 1260s. A new market hall, replacing the original structure, was erected on the site in 1567. The current building, which is thought to have been designed by Walter Hancock in the Classical Renaissance style, was completed in 1597. Walter Hancock was recommended by one of his employers, Francis Newport, who praised his abilities in a letter to the town corporation on 11 November 1595. Hancock had also worked for the lawyer Thomas Owen. The building was arcaded on the ground floor so that markets could be held, with an assembly room on the first floor. The arcading was formed by a series of Tuscan order columns supporting voussoirs. The first floor was fenestrated by mullioned and transomed windows. The central bay on both sides was projected forward: a Royal Coat of Arms of Queen Elizabeth I, with the date of 1596, and the English lion and the Welsh dragon as supporters, was carved into the stone above the central arch on the west side. Provision of a public clock on the market hall is recorded as far back as 1592; the current clock, installed in 1855, is by Joyce of Whitchurch; it strikes the hours on a bell in a turret on the roof, and shows the time on a dial within the north gable. In the 17th century the assembly room was used by the Shrewsbury Drapers Company to sell Welsh cloth and the lower floor was used by farmers to sell their corn. A statue of a man in armour was installed high above the main arch on the north side; it is thought to be Richard, Duke of York (died 1460) and is believed to be the only statue of him in the country. This sculpture was originally located on the Welsh Bridge and it was moved to its current location on the orders of the town mayor in 1771. The ground floor was used as a venue for the local market until a new market hall, designed by the county surveyor, Robert Griffiths, in the Italianate style was brought into use at a large site bounded by Mardol Head, Claremont Street, Shoplatch and Bellstone in 1869. The lower part of the structure was subsequently used for a variety of purposes, including as an air raid shelter during the Second World War while the assembly room was used as the town's magistrates court until a new court complex was opened in Preston Street in 1994. The building then remained vacant and deteriorating until restoration work started in 2004. The building then underwent a major restoration, to the designs of Arrol & Snell and Glenn Howells Architects, to convert it into an arts venue and café, showcasing films and digital media. The restoration was completed at a cost of £1.7 million and the building re-opened on 19 January 2004. The first film to be shown in the new 81-seat auditorium was My House in Umbria.

Old Oswestry

Old Oswestry ist eine Wallburg aus der frühen Eisenzeit in den Welsh Marches beim Markt Oswestry im Nordwesten der englischen Grafschaft Shropshire. Sie gilt lt. Dr. Rachel Pope von der University of Liverpool als das „Stonehenge der Eisenzeit“. Laut English Heritage ist Old Oswestry eine der besterhaltenen Wallburgen im Vereinigten Königreich. Sie wurde im Tiefland erbaut, ist gut zugänglich und bietet einen beeindruckenden Panoramablick über den Norden von Wales und die englischen Grafschaften Cheshire und Shropshire. Die Burg wird heute von English Heritage verwaltet und gilt als Scheduled Monument. Nachdem die Wallburg aufgegeben worden war, wurde sie in den Wat’s Dyke integriert, von dem zwei Abschnitte an die Burg anschließen. Wallburg aus der Eisenzeit Sie war zwischen dem 8. Jahrhundert vor Chr. und der römischen Eroberung Britanniens vom Stamm der Kornen oder vom Stamm der Ordivice besetzt. Verschiedene Bauphasen Die Komplexität der Verteidigungseinrichtungen weist auf verschiedene Entwicklungsphasen hin. Auf dem Gelände standen ursprünglich einige nicht näher definierte Rundhütten. Ein Areal von 52.000 m² wurde dann mit einem doppelten Wall mit Burggraben eingefriedet. Im Osten und Westen wurden dann Eingänge geschaffen, indem der innere Wall dort geöffnet und die Enden einwärts gebogen wurden, um einen beeindruckenderen Torweg zu schaffen. Diese Verteidigungseinrichtungen wurden später erneuert und das Fort an allen Seiten mit Ausnahme der Südostseite, an der ein steiler Hang weitere Befestigungen unnötig machte, mit einem dritten Wall versehen. Der westliche Eingang wurde dann durch Anlage ungewöhnlicher, rechteckiger Rinnen, die durch Grate getrennt und mit Außenwerken geschützt waren, umgebaut. Schließlich wurden zwei weitere Wälle und Gräben um die Anlage gezogen und ein flankierender Wall am Osteingang angelegt. Obwohl Old Oswestry eine der am stärksten verteidigten Wallburgen in Britannien war, gibt es keinen Beweis dafür, dass römische Legionen jemals versucht hätten, sie zu belagern. Im Ersten Weltkrieg diente die Wallburg als Trainingsgelände für kanadische Truppen. Viele der großen Gruben und Gräben, die man auf Luftaufnahmen sehen kann, stammen von diesen militärischen Aktivitäten. Einzelnachweise Weblinks Old Oswestry.

Old Palace, York

The Old Palace in the city of York, North Yorkshire, England, is also known as the Minster Library and is in Dean's Park. It houses York Minster’s library and archives as well as the Collections Department and conservation studio. Its name is a new one and renders homage to the part of the building that used to be the chapel of the Archbishop of York, which was built in the 13th century. History On 29 March 1628 the Archbishop of York Tobias Matthew died and he left his fortune not to his sons or the church but to his wife Frances Matthew. Amongst his possessions was a large collections of books that were said to be the "largest private collection in England". There were 600 books and they were valued then at £300 and Frances decided to give all of these to York Minster. These books are the basis of the library and it was said that her gift deserved 'to live as long as the church itself'. Frances had been married for fifty years and she died the year after making the gift. This building was refurbished in 1810 and shortly thereafter became the home of the Minster library. Notable items held in the collection include cathedral records dating to back to 1150 and a copy of the 1631 Wicked Bible. It is a Grade I listed building. An extension was added in 1998.

Old Queen's Head

The Old Queen's Head is a pub at 40 Pond Hill, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. It is a 15th-century timber framed building and the oldest surviving domestic building in Sheffield. It is now Grade II* listed. History The Old Queens Head was built c. 1475. However, the earliest known written record of the building is in a 1582 inventory of the estate of George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury that included the furnishings of this building, which was then called "The hawle at the Poandes" or "Hall i' th' Ponds". As a part of the Earl's estate, the building may have been a banqueting hall for parties hunting wildfowl in the nearby ponds. These ponds, which formed in the area where the Porter Brook meets the River Sheaf, are now gone, but gave rise to the local names Pond Street, Pond Hill (formerly Pond Well Hill), and Ponds Forge. By the beginning of the 19th century the building was being used as a house. In 1840 a pub called the Old Queen's Head was opened in the building next door. Sometime after 1862 the pub expanded into the former Hall i' th' Ponds. Late in the 19th century, alterations and additions were made to the rear of the building. The Queen in the pub's current name is likely to refer to Mary, Queen of Scots, who was imprisoned in Sheffield from 1570 to 1584. The building has been Grade II* listed since 1952. It was refurbished in 1993 when it was controlled by the Tom Cobleigh pub company. It was later controlled by Thwaites Brewery, and as of 2024 it is part of the WJS Pub Group.

Old St Ann's Church, Warrington

St Ann's Church is a redundant Anglican church in Warrington, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. The church was closed for worship in November 1995, and since 1996 has been used as an indoor climbing centre. From the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s the church was heated by steam from the then adjacent Tetley Walker's brewery. A new church, also dedicated to St Ann, was built on a different site half a mile away in 2000. History The church was built between 1866 and 1868 to a design by John Douglas. There were delays caused by bad weather, and it was not until local solicitor William Beamont paid the builder that the church was consecrated, on 27 February 1869. In 1996 it became a climbing centre with a mezzanine in the chancel. These changes are said to be reversible. Architecture The church is built in red brick with some dressings in blue brick and it has a slate roof. Its plan consists of a six-bay nave without aisles, an apsidal chancel, north and south porches, a north vestry and a southeast tower. The tower is in the angle between the nave and the chancel and in three stages. In the lower stage is a single lancet window and in the second stage are three similar windows. The third stage contains pairs of louvred bell openings and above these is a corbelled parapet. On the southwest corner is a stair-turret rising to the height of the tower and capped by a tall conical-roofed turret rising above the parapet. On top of the tower is a tall steeply pitched saddleback roof. In the sanctuary (but currently obscured) are paintings of The Evangelists by Westlake, dated 1868, which were repainted by T. Hesketh in 1894. Edward Hubbard describes its architecture as being "quite startlingly bold and original". In the Buildings of England series it is described as being "an impressively forceful High Victorian work..., bold and uncompromising", and the "bizarre juxtaposition" of the climbing walls and 19th-century architecture is described as "strangely enjoyable".

Old St Cuthbert's Church, Oborne

The Old St Cuthbert's Church in Oborne, Dorset, England was built in 1533. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building, and is a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It was declared redundant on 18 December 1973, and was vested in the Trust on 23 July 1975. Only the chancel remains of St Cuthbert's Church, which would have been one of the last to be built before the Reformation, following the demolition of the nave in the 1860s. The neglected chancel was restored in the 1930s, when a new incumbent began to restore it, taking advice from A. R. Powys (secretary of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings) who was also responsible for the restoration of St Andrew's Church at Winterborne Tomson. The parish of Oborne had been given to Sherborne Abbey by the Saxon King Edgar in the 10th century and it remained a chapel of ease to the abbey until the Dissolution in 1539. The interior includes mediaeval slip tiles and communion rails, pulpit and monuments from the 17th century. The pillar piscina and font were brought to St Cuthbert's from North Wootton. Above the lintels of windows on the east and north sides are inscriptions entreating prayers for the good standing of Abbot John Myer (1533) and Sacristan John Dunster of Sherborne. A new parish church, designed by William Slater, was built on a fresh site in the village and consecrated in 1862.
