Plumptre Hospital

Plumptre Hospital was a charity in Nottingham, England, providing almshouse accommodation for 599 years from 1392 to 1991. History John de Plumptre, Mayor of Nottingham, founded Plumptre Hospital in 1392. It was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary and supported two priests and "thirteen poor women broken down of age and depressed of poverty". It was endowed with 13 properties around the town. In 1414 the number of widows was reduced to seven and he gave the hospital his house, on the site that later became the Flying Horse Inn. In 1650, Huntingdon Plumptre renovated it, raised the rents, and gave the widows a proper allowance: five shillings per month (equivalent to £39.27 in 2025), with sixpence extra at New Year (equivalent to £3.927 in 2025). In the 1750s, another John Plumptre expanded the hospital so it could at last take the full 13 widows. They now received each year £13 10s (equivalent to £1,389 in 2025), a gown and a tonne of coal, and in addition the New Year sixpence (equivalent to £2.57 in 2025). In the garden at the rear there is a plaque on the wall which reads 'Sufficit Meruisis' - 'it is enough to serve'. Although the Plumptre family moved to Kent in 1756, they supported the charity by rebuilding the hospital again in 1823. Additional almshouses were built in Canal Street in 1956. (These were demolished around 2000). By 1991, the charity no longer had the resources to improve Plumptre Hospital and its residents moved to the other almshouses. The building of 1823 was taken over by the Royal National Institute for the Blind in 2001. Inscription Inscription on the building reads PLUMPTRE HOSPITAL Founded and endowed for the support of a Master, a priest, and thirteen poor Widows, By John de Plumptre, A.D. 1392. Repaired by Huntingdon Plumptre, Esq., 1650 By John Plumptre, Esq., A.D. 1751 By John Plumptre, his son, A.D. 1753. First stone of the present Hospital was laid on the 1st of August, A.D. 1823, By the Rev. Charles Thomas Plumptre, Rector of Claypole, In Lincolnshire, on behalf of his father, John Plumptre, of Fredville, In the county of Ken, Esq., the Master or Guardian of the said Hospital, And a descendant of the Founder.

Plumstead Common

Plumstead Common is a common and urban park in Plumstead in the Royal Borough of Greenwich (SE18), south-east London. It is part of the South East London Green Chain. Location and geology Plumstead Common is bound to the north by Old Mill Road and to the south by Plumstead Common Road. To the east lies Winn or Winn's Common. The common contains deposits of puddingstone, a conglomerate rock formed during a period of global warming 60 million years ago. The rock is more usually found north of the River Thames in Hertfordshire, see Hertfordshire puddingstone. History Plumstead Common was first mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086 ("Plumstede"). The name refers to a place where plums grow. In the 19th century more and more common land was sold off to build houses for the growing workforce at Royal Arsenal. The arrival of the railways sped up this process. The people of Plumstead protested that they had the right to graze their livestock on the land of Plumstead Common and to use it for sports and recreation. In June 1876 these protests attracted the Irish activist John De Morgan who on 1 July led protestors up from Woolwich Arsenal to the house of Edwin Hughes (leader of the Conservative Party) tearing down illegally erected fences on their way. John De Morgan was arrested and sent to prison for seventeen days. The riots resulted in the Plumstead Common Act 1878 (41 & 42 Vict. c. cxlv) ensuring that one hundred acres of land remained as public open space forever. Royal Arsenal F.C.'s first home was playing on the common. Heritage buildings and cultural events Substantial remains of the Old Mill still stand and have been incorporated into the public house of the same name. Nearby is Plumstead Manor School. On the southwest corner of the common stands the former Prince of Wales pub. Plumstead Common is the venue for the Plumstead Make Merry event, which is the longest-running community festival in the Royal Borough of Greenwich and is run on a voluntary basis by a group of people who are passionate about the local area. Plumstead Common is also the venue for the popular Asian Mela, which has been described as the "Asian Notting Hill Carnival".

Plumstead Common

Plumstead Common est un parc urbain commun situé à Plumstead, dans l'arrondissement royal de Greenwich, au sud-est de Londres. D'une surface de 41 hectares, il fait partie de la chaîne verte du sud-est de Londres. Géologie Le common contient des dépôts de puddingstone, un conglomérat formé au cours d'une période de réchauffement climatique il y a 60 millions d'années. La roche se trouve plus généralement au nord de la Tamise dans le Hertfordshire, voir Pudding de Hertfordshire. Histoire Plumstead Common a été mentionné pour la première fois dans le Domesday Book en 1086 (Plumstede). Le nom fait référence à un endroit où poussent les prunes. Au XIXe siècle, de plus en plus de terres communes ont été vendues pour la construction de logements pour la main-d'œuvre croissante du Royal Arsenal. L’arrivée des chemins de fer a accéléré ce processus. Les habitants de Plumstead ont déclaré qu'ils avaient le droit de faire paître leur bétail sur les terres de Plumstead Common et de les utiliser pour des activités sportives et récréatives. En juin 1876, ces manifestations attirent le militant irlandais John De Morgan qui, le 1er juillet, conduisit les manifestants de Woolwich Arsenal à la maison d'Edwin Hughes (chef du parti conservateur), abattant illégalement des barrières érigées sur leur chemin. John De Morgan a été arrêté et envoyé en prison pendant dix-sept jours. Les émeutes ont abouti à la loi de 1878 sur le Plumstead Common Act, qui garantissait que cent acres de terre resteraient à jamais un espace public ouvert. Edwin Cross fut le dernier roturier connu à exercer le droit de laisser paître du petit bétail (chèvres) dans Plumstead Common et son voisin Woolwich Common dans les années 1970. [réf. nécessaire] Bâtiments et événements culturels Des vestiges substantiels du Vieux Moulin sont toujours présents et ont été incorporés dans la maison publique du même nom. À proximité se trouve l'école Plumstead Manor. L'ancien pub Prince of Wales se trouve dans l'angle sud-ouest du common. Plumstead Common est le lieu de l'événement Plumstead Make Merry, le plus ancien festival communautaire organisé dans l'arrondissement royal de Greenwich et organisé volontairement par un groupe de passionnés de la région. Plumstead Common est également le lieu de la populaire Mela asiatique, décrite comme le " carnaval asiatique de Notting Hill ".

Plymouth Gin Distillery

The Plymouth Gin Distillery, also known as the Black Friars Distillery, is a gin manufacturer on The Barbican, Plymouth, England. It is the only gin distillery in the city, and the only location certified to produce its protected style of Plymouth Gin. The original building opens on to what is now Southside Street. Established in 1793, it is the oldest operating distillery in Britain. History Local tradition has it that it is located in what was once a monastery of the Dominican Order first built in 1431, earning it the "Black Friars" nickname, although there is no evidence to support this. It is also said that some of the Pilgrim Fathers may have stayed here while the Mayflower was in the harbour for repairs before finally setting sail to North America. This is where the ship on the company label is thought to have originated from. It was a large merchant's house dating from around 1500. By 1605 the building was used as a gaol, and a Congregational meeting house from 1689 to 1705. It was remodelled and extended as a gin distillery from 1793 when Coates joined with the established business of Fox & Williamson. The business was known as Coates & Co. until March 2004. Present day The building today contains a bar with bistro above, and the distillery provides several tours. Since 2005 the brand and premises have been owned by the Scandinavian V&S Group, better known for making Absolut Vodka, who in turn were later acquired by Pernod-Ricard. Plymouth Gin is still made here, and in recent years there has been an increase in the popularity of the distinctive sweeter and lighter but stronger Plymouth flavour, compared to the more usual London Dry Gin. The company has produced a large range of promotional items, including Dartmouth Potteries Gurgle Jugs, miniatures, glasses, ashtrays, match strikers, etc. Many of these have become very collectable. On the afternoon of 27 February 2008, the building was substantially damaged by a kitchen fire starting in the nearby (and that time recently opened) Barbican Kitchen, which has subsequently re-opened.

Plymouth Naval Memorial

The Plymouth Naval Memorial is a war memorial in Plymouth, Devon, England which is dedicated to British and Commonwealth sailors who were lost in World War I and World War II with no known grave. History After World War I, the Royal Navy wanted to find a way to commemorate sailors and Royal Marines who had died at sea and had no known grave. An Admiralty committee recommended building memorials at the three main naval ports in Great Britain – Plymouth, Chatham, and Portsmouth. The memorials at all three sites were designed by Sir Robert Lorimer with sculpture by Henry Poole. During World War II, the cable of a runaway barrage balloon struck the globe at the top of the memorial, leaving a large dent which has remained ever since. Following World War II, the naval memorials were expanded to commemorate the dead from that war. Sir Edward Maufe performed the architectural design for the expansion at Plymouth, and the sculpture was by Charles Wheeler and William McMillan. The work was carried out by Martyns The Plymouth memorial also bears the names of sailors from Australia, South Africa, and India. The Plymouth Naval Memorial commemorates 7,251 sailors of World War I and 15,933 of World War II. Other memorials in Halifax and Victoria in Canada, Auckland, New Zealand, Mumbai, India, Chittagong, Bangladesh, and Hong Kong commemorate sailors who came from those parts of the Commonwealth. The Newfoundland Memorial at Beaumont Hamel in France bears the names of 229 Newfoundland sailors lost at sea during World War I. The memorial is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. It became a Grade II listed building in 1975, upgraded to Grade II* in 1998, and was further upgraded to Grade I in May 2016 for the centenary of the Battle of Jutland. Location The memorial is situated centrally on The Hoe which looks directly towards Plymouth Sound. Design The memorial features a central obelisk, with names of the dead arranged according to the year of death. Those for the First World War are on panels affixed to the obelisk's base; those for the Second World War are on panels set into the surrounding wall. Within each year, the names are grouped by service, then by rank and surname. Notable people commemorated at the memorial First World War Lieutenant Cecil Abercrombie and Lieutenant-Commander John Skinner Wilson, Scottish rugby internationals Sergeant John Costello of the Royal Marines, English footballer Josephine Carr, first Women's Royal Naval Service woman to be killed on active duty.

Its name was changed to Plymstock County Senior Mixed School, and then to Plymstock County Secondary School, and in September 1961 to its current name. In 1965, it became a comprehensive school, and the buildings were extended between 1969 and 1970 to accommodate a further 300 pupils. On 4 April 2006, the school achieved a Guinness World Record for "Most people playing parachute" when 1,547 children played with 58 parachutes at the same time. The world record stood until 30 June 2011, when it was beaten by children from the Gaza Strip with 3520 people. Plymstock School features in the German secondary school English textbook *Access* (published by Cornelsen Verlag) and is therefore familiar to many pupils in Germany.

Ealing Studios

Ealing Studios è uno studio cinematografico e televisivo situato a Ealing, una località adiacente all'area metropolitana di Londra. Storia L'area oggi occupata dagli studi, è stata costruita nel 1896 dal produttore cinematografico Will Barker, e successivamente venduta ad un acquirente londinese, Basil Dean. Dean, nel 1929 fondò la Associated Talking Pictures e due anni dopo riaprì gli Ealing Studios alla ricerca di fortuna. Nel 1933, la società fu rinominata Associated Talkink Pictures e nel 1938 gli Ealing passarono sotto la direzione di Michael Balcon, un produttore associato alla Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Dagli anni '40, gli Ealing iniziarono a produrre i primi film di guerra, Went the Day Well? (1942), The Foreman Went to France (1942) e San Demetrio, London. Nel 1944, gli studi furono comprati dalla società inglese di intrattenimento radiofonico e televisivo Rank Organisation. Tra gli anni '30 e gli anni '40, dagli studi fuoriuscirono molte commedie e alcune di esse diedero i natali ad attori comici quali George Formby e Will Hay. La società fu conosciuta dal mondo inglese per le numerose commedie a sfondo satirico e sociale che in un qual modo cercavano di portare sul grande schermo le abitudini del popolo inglese, alcuni esempi sono Piccoli detectives (Hue and Cry), Barnacle Bill e Whisky a volontà. Molte delle pellicole filmate e prodotte agli Ealing Studios hanno avuto la firma di Douglas Slocombe come direttore della fotografia, celebre per aver lavorato agli Indiana Jones di Steven Spielberg. Nel 1955, la BBC comprò la società dando una svolta alla direzione, le produzioni dapprima volte principalmente al cinema andarono alla televisione; esempi sono le acclamate serie televisive Colditz, The Singing Detective e Fortunes of War. Un nuovo cambio di gestione si è avuto nel 1995, dopo il passaggio di diritti dalla BBC alla National Film and Television School e successivamente a fine 2000 agli imprenditori Uri Fruchtmann, Barnaby Thompson, Harry Handelsman e John Kao.
