St Wulstan's Local Nature Reserve

St Wulstan's Local Nature Reserve is a local nature reserve near Malvern, Worcestershire, England. The site was formerly the location of St Wulstan's Hospital, and was established as a nature reserve in 1997. Description The reserve, area 22 hectares (54 acres), is situated east of the Malvern Hills. It is a mixture of ancient woodland and grassland. Ornamental trees, planted by hospital patients, are among the native species. The brimstone butterfly, one of the butterfly species to be seen, is the emblem of the reserve. There are waymarked trails, and seating is provided at regular points around the site. History Farmland, part of Brickbarns Farm, was requisitioned in 1943 for the construction of a hospital which would receive American servicemen injured in the planned Normandy landings; other land in the Malvern area was also requisitioned for the same purpose. It was known locally as "Brickbarns Hospital". After the American military units left, the hospital was handed over to the Ministry of Health; it was renamed St Wulstan's Hospital, and in April 1950 it was opened as a TB hospital to serve the area. The disease later was under control, and fewer such hospitals were needed; the hospital closed in May 1960. It re-opened in November 1961 as a regional psychiatric rehabilitation hospital, with 350 beds. The hospital closed in 1986. Houses were built on part of the site. In 1996 it was agreed by Malvern Hills District Council that the remaining land should be designated a local nature reserve. The site, consisting of formal landscape garden, hay meadows, scrubland and woodland, was landscaped and opened as St Wulstan's Local Nature Reserve on 25 April 1997. In November 2003 the St Wulstan's Residents' Association was formed. The reserve was given the Green Flag Award in July 2008. References
Tower Hamlets Town Hall

Tower Hamlets Town Hall is a municipal facility on Whitechapel Road, Whitechapel, London. The new structure, which has been commissioned as the headquarters of Tower Hamlets London Borough Council, incorporates the façade of the old Royal London Hospital which is a Grade II listed building. History The original hospital was designed by Boulton Mainwaring in the neoclassical style, built in yellow brick and opened in September 1757. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with seven bays facing onto Whitechapel Road; the central section of five bays featured an arcade of round headed windows on the ground floor, a mullioned window with tracery spanning the first and second floors in the left hand bay and sash windows on the first and the second floors in the other four bays. The windows were flanked by full-height Doric order pilasters supporting an entablature and a pediment with a clock in the tympanum. The Barts Health NHS Trust, who operated the hospital, vacated the old hospital building when it completed its relocation to modern facilities to the south of the old hospital in spring 2016. In February 2015 Tower Hamlets London Borough Council acquired the old hospital for £9 million and announced plans to convert it into a new "civic centre" to which it would relocate from its existing premises at Mulberry Place. The project was intended to bring wider regeneration benefits to the Tower Hamlets area. Planning consent for the conversion was given in March 2018. The construction required to deliver the conversion commenced in February 2019. The work was undertaken by Bouygues at a cost of £109.5 million to a design by Allford Hall Monaghan Morris. The design involved the retention of the listed facade and the construction of three new buildings behind the facade arranged around a new public square. The new building opened on 1 March 2023. It won the 2025 RIBA London Building of the Year. References
Minster Court

Minster Court is a Grade II* listed group of buildings lying off Minster Yard, in the city centre of York in England. History The complex consists of four houses, on three sides of a courtyard: No. 1 in the north-west wing, Nos. 2 and 2A in the north-east range, and No. 3 in the south-east wing. There was formerly a fourth range, almost surrounding the courtyard, but that was demolished in the 1820s. In the 1850s, the building was purchased by Robert Corbet Singleton. More recently, it has been used as housing for people connected with nearby York Minster, including the minster organist and several canons. Architecture The north-west and south-east wings have partly mediaeval stone walls, while the other walls are of 18th-century brick, probably replacing timber framing. The north-east range has three roofs, dating from the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries. The range was altered in the early 17th century, from which period dates one of its ground floor ceilings, but most of the range was further altered over the following 150 years. In the 18th century, the north-west wing was heightened and extended to the south-west. In the 18th century, a storage building was constructed to the north-east of the complex. In 1850, it was extended to adjoin the complex, and an organ was installed. From 1945, it was converted into a house, numbered 1A, which does not form part of the listed building. Inside, the north-west wing, there are three rooms with decorated 18th-century fireplaces, plus a large 18th-century kitchen fireplace, a mid-18th-century staircase, and two 18th-century ceilings in first-floor rooms. The north-east range has an early 17th-century ceiling, and many 18th-century fittings. The south-east wing has an 18th-century staircase and rich 19th-century decoration in several rooms, particularly the study. In the attic is some 17th-century panelling.

Doncaster Civic Office

Doncaster Civic Office is a municipal building in Waterdale, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England. The structure is the meeting place of City of Doncaster Council. History The first municipal building in the town had its origins in the ruins of the Church of St Mary Magdalene which was built in the Market Place in around 1130. Civic leaders acquired the old church in 1557 and converted the surviving chancel and nave into a town hall: the structure was rebuilt to a neoclassical design by William Lindley in 1786. Lindley's design involved a symmetrical main frontage with nine bays facing onto the Market Place; the central section of three bays featured round headed openings on the ground floor, tall sash windows on the first floor and shorter sash windows on the second floor flanked, on the two upper floors, by Doric order pilasters supporting a pediment. There was a figure depicting Justice at the apex of the pediment and urns on either side of the pediment. In 1846 the civic leaders decided to demolish the old town hall and to erect a new guildhall: the site they selected for the new building, in Frenchgate, was occupied by a public house, the Angel Inn. The new structure was designed by John Butterfield, also in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar stone and was completed in 1848. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with five bays facing onto Frenchgate; the central section of three bays, which slightly projected forward, featured a tetrastyle portico with Corinthian order columns supporting an entablature and a modillioned pediment. Although it was a Grade II listed building, it was demolished by Doncaster Council in 1969 to make way for an extension to a Marks & Spencer shop. After briefly being located at 1 Priory Place during the 1970s, Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council relocated to modern offices at Copley House in Waterdale in the early 1980s, and then to Coal House, the former offices of the National Coal Board, in May 1992. As part of a wider regeneration scheme for the Waterdale area, the council decided to demolish their former offices at Coal House and to commission a new structure on the site of the old Waterdale Campus of Doncaster College. The new building was designed by Cartwright Pickard in the International Style, built in glass and steel at a cost of £20 million and was completed in October 2012. The design involved a 5-storey rectangular tower block with 8 bays facing onto Waterdale: the southwest corner of the building, which was recessed, featured, on the ground floor, a glass doorway providing access from the new Sir Nigel Gresley Square, named after the railway engineer, Sir Nigel Gresley. At that corner, on the upper floors, there was a display of 3,200 glazed terracotta titles with the borough coat of arms superimposed on the tiles. Internally, the principal room was the council chamber. References
Chûn Castle

Chûn Castle is a large Iron Age hillfort (ringfort) near Penzance in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The fort was built about 2,500 years ago, and fell into disuse until the early centuries AD when it was possibly re-occupied to protect the nearby tin mines. It stands beside a prehistoric trackway that was formerly known as the Old St Ives Road and the Tinners’ Way. The name Chûn derives from Cornish: Chi an Woon (‘the house on the downs’). The area is now sometimes known as Chûn Downs. Nearby is Chûn Quoit. Description Edward Lluyd made a plan of this fort in around 1700, remarking that its structure and security showed "military knowledge superior to that of any other works of this kind which I have seen in Cornwall". Notably, the fort has a strategic inner and outer wall and ditch. The remains today are still clearly visible, even though the once twenty-feet-odd walls now stand at around five feet, due to its use in the 19th century as a quarry for buildings in Penzance and Madron. The freehold of the land beneath part of the castle was put up for auction in April 1883 as part of freehold tenement of Little Bosullow. Included were large quantities of good building stone. At the 1886 annual meeting of the Penzance Natural History and Antiquarian Society, concern was shown for the removal of stone from here, as well as Kenidjack Castle and Madron Well. The fort was excavated in 1895, 1925, 1927 and 1930. Much pottery was uncovered; the earliest was dated to the 4th century BC due to its similarity to known Breton pottery of that age. But the fort may have been built upon a much older structure. Chûn Quoit, around 800 feet to the west, is dated to around 2400 BC. It is believed that the fort fell into disuse around the first century AD but was reoccupied and modified several centuries later, until the 6th century. However, occupation may also date to the later Roman period. The fort may have been built to protect tin and copper gathered in the tin-rich locality of what is now Pendeen, with its Geevor Tin Mine, and surrounding villages. Iron and tin slags were found within the fort, near the well. The fort overlooks many miles of the Celtic Sea to the north, and overlooks the only land route to this peninsula (West Penwith) to the south. Therefore, not only its structure but its location suggest a much more actively military function. The well, within the inner walls, once had a stairway leading to the water, water which remains to this day even during dry spells. Locals used the well water until the 1940s for domestic purposes and some for superstitious reasons, viz. the endowment of perpetual youth. Neopagans still make pilgrimages to the site on religiously significant days.

Большая церковь Святого Варфоломея (Лондон)

Большая церковь Святого Варфоломея (англ. St Bartholomew-the-Great) — англиканская приходская церковь в районе Смитфилд (Сити) города Лондона (Великобритания); была основана как монастырская церковь при монастыре Святого Варфоломея. В современном здании сохранились элементы нормандской архитектуры. История и описание Большая церковь Святого Варфоломея в Смитфилде была основана как монастырский храм. Сам монастырь был создан в 1123 году пребендарием собора Святого Павла по имени Раэри. Король Англии Генрих I предоставил земли под строительство. Постепенно монастырь Святого Варфоломея приобрёл репутацию лечебного учреждения. Большая часть больницы пережила Тюдоровскую секуляризацию, хотя часть монастырской церкви была разграблена перед сносом в 1543 году. Церковь Святого Варфоломея избежала разрушения в ходе Великого лондонского пожара 1666 года, но затем пришла в упадок. К XVIII веку здание было заброшено. В конце XIX века храм был перестроен под руководством архитектора Астона Уэбба. Однако, хор сохранился в значительной степени нетронутыми со времён нормандского здания. Здание стало использоваться как приходская церковь; сохранилось крайне мало следов других монастырских построек. В 1889 году началась программа реставрации здания, в ходе которой были отреставрированы северный и южный трансепты. Восстановленный южный трансепт был освящён епископом Лондонским Фредериком Темплом 14 марта 1891 года. Большая церковь Святого Варфоломея стала одной из немногих городских церквей, которые избежали повреждений во время Второй мировой войны, в ходе «Блица». 4 января 1950 года церковное здание было внесена в список памятников архитектуры первой степени (Grade I). В апреле 2007 года церковь Святого Варфоломея стала первой англиканской приходской церковью, которая начала взимать плату за вход с туристов, не посещающих богослужение.

City Hall (Londres)

City Hall de Londres (Ajuntament en català) és la seu de l'Autoritat del Gran Londres compresa per l'Alcalde de Londres (no confondre amb el Senyor Alcalde de la Ciutat de Londres, àrea del centre de Londres) i l'Assemblea de Londres. L'Ajuntament o City Hall es troba a Southwark, a la riba sud del riu Tàmesi al costat de Tower Bridge. Dissenyat per Norman Foster, s'inaugurà al juliol de 2002. L'edifici té una forma bulbosa inusual, amb la intenció de reduir l'àrea de superfície i millorar eficiència de l'energia. Ha estat comparada amb el casc de Darth Vader, un ou deformat, un testicle humà, o un casc de motocicleta. El primer Alcalde de Londres (4 de maig de 2000 - 4 de maig de 2008) l'anomenà "testicle de vidre". El nou Alcalde s'ha referit a l'edifici com la "ceba". Els seus dissenyadors veien l'edifici com una esfera gegant vora el riu Tàmesi, però finalment van optar per una esfera modificada. La City Hall es va construir en una zona ocupada pel moll Pool of London. L'edifici no pertany a l'Autoritat del Gran Londres (GLA) però el té llogat per 25 anys. Pertany a un desenvolupament anomenat More London, més Londres en català, incloent oficines i botiges. Referències
Londýnská radnice

Londýnská radnice je sídlem správní organizace Velkého Londýna – Greater London Authority (GLA). Nachází se na jižním nábřeží Temže, v oblasti nazývané More London poblíž Tower Bridge v městském obvodu Southwark. Budova byla navržena Normanem Fosterem a byla otevřena v červenci 2002. Budova má nezvyklý cibulovitý tvar pro zmenšení její vnější plochy a tím i snížení energetických ztrát. Byla přirovnávána k přilbě Dartha Vadera, znetvořenému vejci nebo motocyklové přilbě. City Hall byla postavena na místě kde stálo původně přístaviště. Budova není majetkem GLA ale je jí pronajata na dobu 25 let. Je součástí rozvojové oblasti nazývané More London a je oddělená zapuštěným amfiteátrem nazývaným kopeček zmrzliny (Scoop) od sousedních konvenčních kancelářských budov. Spirálovité schodiště dlouhé 500 m, připomínající podobné schodiště v Guggenheimově muzeu v New Yorku, vede až na vrchol budovy. V horní části 10 patrové budovy je výstaviště a místo pro setkání zvané londýnský obývák, s otevřenou vyhlídkovou terasou občas přístupnou veřejnosti. Z ochozů je vidět do interiéru budovy, což má symbolizovat průhlednost rozhodování GLA. City Hall se nenachází v City, jehož správní orgán sídlí v Guidhall na sever od Temže. Předchůdci Greater London Authority, Greater London Council a London County Council využívali jako sídlo County Hall, proti proudu řeky na jižním nábřeží. Tato budova je nyní využívána jako hotel a nachází se v něm Londýnské akvárium. Dopravní spojení – metro a železnice – London bridge.
