Conduit Head

Conduit Head is a 1910 house located off the Madingley Road (A1303) on the western outskirts of Cambridge, England. Built in 1910, it was designed by Harry Redfern for Francis Darwin, and was built for Darwin's daughter Frances on the occasion of her marriage to F. M. Cornford. The architectural historians Simon Bradley and Nikolaus Pevsner describe the house as "gabled, rural and relaxed". History The house was built in 1910 as a wedding gift from Francis Darwin (third son of Charles Darwin and Emma) to his daughter, Frances Crofts Darwin, for her marriage to Francis Cornford. It was designed by Harry Redfern and its name was carved by Eric Gill. Conduit Head was owned by Sir Peter Lachmann (1931–2020), Sheila Joan Smith Professor of Immunology at the University of Cambridge and a fellow of Christ's College, and his wife Sylvia. Name A conduit head, a square stone building of 3 m2, stands in the garden behind the house.

Coney's Castle

Coney's Castle is an Iron Age hillfort in Dorset, England. The name Coney is from the Old English for rabbit (Latin cuniculus), suggesting medieval use as a domestic warren, as at nearby Pilsdon Pen. The fort is on a narrow north–south ridge reaching a height of 210 m, with linear ramparts across the ridge, steep natural slopes to the west and a high artificial rampart with ditch to the east. A small lane runs along the ridge, bisecting the hillfort. The lane is also part of the Wessex Ridgeway long-distance trail. There is a convenient car park next to the north rampart. The remains of the hillfort are designated as a scheduled monument and was on the Heritage at Risk Register but was removed in 2022 as a result of the Hillforts and Habitats Project. The site is looked after by the National Trust as is Lambert's Castle about 1.5 km to the north. See also Lambert's Castle Pilsdon Pen References

Congleton United Reformed Church

Congleton United Reformed Church was a church in Antrobus Street, Congleton, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. History The building originated as a Congregational church. It was designed by William Sugden, an architect from Leek, and built in 1876–77. Architecture Constructed in stone, the church has a slate roof. Its architectural style is Gothic Revival. The entrance front has a double portal, each doorway having a pointed arch. At the northeast is a squat octagonal turret. There is a large west window. On the gable above it is a large tabernacle surmounted by a ball finial with a long stalk. The authors of the Buildings of England series state that the church exhibits "astonishingly free handling of the Gothic precedents", and that "everything is richly and individually treated". Inside the church is a gallery at the east end. The three-manual organ was made by J. J. Binns for Claremont Baptist Church, Bolton. It was moved here and rebuilt in 1984 by Leonard Reeves. Closure It was announced in April 2025 that the church would close, being too large for the congregation to maintain. The Rev. Murray George said that the decision had been made very reluctantly at the end of March, following a long period of deliberation. In July 2025 it was announced that the church would close in September, with the building being sold at auction on 27 August. The auction date was later delayed, with a new planned auction date of 24 September. The church closed in September 2025. The Church was sold at auction for £200,000 in September 2025. The Church was sold at auction for a second time in on 28 April 2026.

Congo River Rapids (Alton Towers)

Congo River Rapids is a river rapids ride made by Intamin. It is located in the Katanga Canyon area of Alton Towers in Staffordshire, England. The rapids come close to the Runaway Mine Train as it passes through the tunnel. It features twin waterfalls, and boats pass between the two waterfalls, along with three wave machines positioned at strategic points around the ride. History The ride first opened in 1986 as "Grand Canyon Rapids" and was named as part of the Aqua Land area. The ride's queueline was originally routed from the present day Mutiny Bay area, with the ride itself largely hidden from view. In 1992, the Katanga Canyon area was built in the centre of the rapids circuit, along with the new Runaway Mine Train, allowing more views of the attraction. To suit the new area's theme, it was renamed "Congo River Rapids". The original red boats held six riders but were replaced in 2004 by yellow eight-passenger boats to increase throughput. From the 2019 season, new restrictions from the park reduced each boat's capacity from 8 to 7 and barred all riders under the age of 18 from riding without an accompanying adult during school trip seasons. In 2023, a new soundtrack was added with additional announcements. Operation The ride comprises three primary components: a flatbed lift, a concrete trough, and a continuously rotating turntable station designed to maximise throughput. Upon leaving the turntable, boats navigate a course through Katanga Canyon, passing through a tunnel shared with the Runaway Mine Train, alongside the Pizza Pasta restaurant, by cascading waterfalls, and back up the lift to return to the turntable. The turntable area also houses the ride’s pumping system, which circulates water from the base of the lift to the turntable level. The rapids effect is primarily achieved through the strategic placement of wooden blocks secured to the bottom of the concrete channel. When the pumps are active, water flowing over these blocks generates turbulence, simulating natural rapids. Previously, three 'wavemaker' machines at points along the circuit also added to the rapids but no longer operate. The ride originally operated with 35 eight-person boats, though only 31 could be simultaneously deployed on the system. Currently, a substantially smaller number of boats are in regular service.

Congresbury Yeo

The River Yeo (often referred to as the Congresbury Yeo, after the village of Congresbury, through which it flows, to avoid confusion with other similarly named rivers) is a river which flows through North Somerset, England. River course The river rises in the centre of Compton Martin village, in the district of Bath and North East Somerset, as a spring which feeds the village duckpond. From there it flows past the village of Ubley and enters Blagdon Lake (created in the 1890s by damming the river) just north of the village of Blagdon. From the lake the river flows south of Wrington and Iwood, where there were once a series of watermills along its banks. Its route then takes it around the northern outskirts of Congresbury, and across the North Somerset Levels roughly parallel to the A370 road, past the site of a Roman villa before crossing under the M5 motorway and emptying into the Severn Estuary in Woodspring Bay, downstream from Clevedon and west of the village of Kingston Seymour. Close to the mouth on the Severn Estuary on land owned by Environment Agency and leased by the Avon Wildlife Trust are Blake's Pools which were dug between 1983 and 1987 to attract wildlife. It forms part of the Severn Estuary Site of Special Scientific Interest, Special Protection Area and Ramsar site. Flood prevention and conservation The river falls within the area of the West Mendip Internal Drainage Board, which has a range of policies and guidance about flood prevention and conservation in the area. Levees or high embankments have been erected where the river runs parallel to the A370 and the river is regularly dredged.

Congress House

Congress House is the headquarters of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), a British organisation that represents most of the UK's trade unions. In 1948, David du Roi Aberdeen won an architectural competition to design the new TUC headquarters building in Great Russell Street, London. Staff began to move into the offices in 1956. Congress House was officially opened on 27 March 1958 along with the unveiling of a giant pietà-style statue of a woman holding her dead son. Carved in place in the internal courtyard by Jacob Epstein, it was intended as a memorial to the dead trade unionists of both world wars. The front of the building is dominated by a bronze sculpture by Bernard Meadows representing the spirit of trade unionism with the strong helping the weak. The main facing material of the façade is polished grey Cornish granite. Congress House was one of the earliest post-war buildings to be listed, at Grade II*, in 1988. In 2015, an ETFE roof was installed over the internal courtyard which enabled the glass roof of the conference centre below to be reinstated and affords protection to the Epstein statue. In 2018, an extensive redevelopment of the rear of the building was carried out, creating a new entrance, reception, offices and staff facilities. Known as 'The Rookery', the new development includes a public artwork by German artist Eva Berendes inspired by traditional trade union badges.

It lies 3 miles (5 km) north of Grassington, 3 miles (5 km) south of Kettlewell and 12 miles (19 km) north of Skipton beside the River Wharfe, in Upper Wharfedale. History Conistone is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Cunestune and belonging to Ketil. The name derives from a mix of Old Danish (Kunung) and Old English (tūn), which means King's farm or Settlement. The village is set in characteristic limestone scenery, including Mossdale Caverns, the dry gorge of Conistone Dib and the limestone outcrop of Conistone Pie.

The parish church, St Mary's Church, dates from the 11th or 12th century, and is a Grade II listed building. The former Methodist Church in Conistone is now operated as a hostel used for conferences and retreats. Conistone was historically in the large ancient parish of Burnsall, in Staincliffe Wapentake in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It became part of the civil parish of Conistone with Kilnsey in 1866, and was transferred to North Yorkshire in 1974. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the Craven District, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council. The population of the parish in the 2001 census was 117, rising to 124 at the 2011 census. In 2015, North Yorkshire County Council had estimated the population to be 110. Immediately to the east of the village are Conistone Moor and Riggs Moor. The moorland here was known for its lead mines, and also as being the furthest point in England from a road. Known by the Ordnance Survey as Pile of Stones, the point is on Riggs Moor and is found at 54.1427°N 1.9585°W﻿ / 54.1427; -1.9585﻿ (Conistone), SE03287183.

Constable Burton Hall

Constable Burton Hall is a Grade I-listed Georgian country house of dressed stone in an extensive and well wooded park in the village of Constable Burton in North Yorkshire, designed by John Carr of York in 1768. It is privately owned by the Wyvill family. The house is a two-storey ashlar-faced structure with a five bay frontage having an elegant recessed Ionic portico. The principal entrance is approached by a double flight of steps. The side elevation has a pediment and there is a large projecting bay to the rear of the house. The house was listed Grade I in 1967, with the coach house and stables, and the laundry listed as Grade II* and Grade II respectively at the same time. In 1984, the park was listed as Grade II on the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. The pub in the village is called The Wyvill Arms. The house and gardens are private. History The estate came into the Wyvill (sometimes Wyvell) family by marriage in the reign of Edward VI. In 1611 Marmaduke Wyvill was created a baronet. The house then passed down to the 7th Baronet, also Sir Marmaduke Wyvill, who in 1768 commissioned John Carr of York to remodel the Elizabethan H-plan house in the Palladian style. The 7th Baronet was High Sheriff of Yorkshire for 1773 and died unmarried in 1774, causing the baronetcy to become dormant after its American heirs failed to claim the title. He left the estate to his cousin and brother-in-law, the Rev. Christopher Wyvill, from whom it descended in turn via the latter's son Marmaduke, the MP for York, to Marmaduke's son, also Marmaduke (1815–1896). He represented Richmond in Parliament for many years and was also a world class chess player. The current owner is his grandson, Charles Wyvill. Popular culture In the 1945 film The Way to the Stars the hall was used as the United States Army Air Forces headquarters. Its exterior remains little changed today. The hall was also featured in the British television series All Creatures Great and Small, in the episode "Be Prepared", as the home of Major Headingley.
