Prince Consort's Library

The Prince Consort's Library in Aldershot Military Town in the English county of Hampshire was founded by Prince Albert to contribute to the education of soldiers in the British Army. Today it is the military specialist library of the Army Library Service, specialising in the provision of information on current military topics, political subjects and international relations in support of operations, intelligence, training and education in the Armed Forces. It is a Grade II listed building. History On 1 June 1859 Colonel Phipps wrote on behalf of Prince Albert to Major-General J. Peel, the Secretary of State for War, stating that the Prince Consort was 'desirous of presenting a collection of 1,000 books to the officers at the Camp at Aldershot', adding that the Prince would also provide the library to house the books. After further correspondence, work began on building the Library in September 1859, and it opened in September 1860 with 1,000 books which were donated from the collection of Prince Albert. The Prince also paid the cost of building the Library, its furnishings, maintenance, and for the planting of trees and shrubs. The total cost amounted to £4,183.3s and 4d. The day-to-day running costs of the Library were paid for by the Prince Consort until his death in 1861, when Queen Victoria made it known that she wished to continue the Royal interest in the Library and ordered that its maintenance was to be met from the Privy Purse. She also paid the salary of the first official Librarian, Sergeant Charles Gilmore (1834–1914) of the 49th Regiment of Foot, who held the post from 1861 to 1891, and his pension on his retirement. By 1887 the Library still only held 2,160 books, so the Aldershot Military Society was founded on 23 December 1887, under the patronage of Queen Victoria, to pay for further books through the subscription paid by members of the Society, while the Privy Purse continued to pay for the Library's maintenance. This arrangement continued until 1935, when the War Office assumed responsibility for both providing books and maintaining the building. The Prince Consort's Library was designed by Captain Francis Fowke of the Royal Engineers, who also designed the Royal Albert Hall and parts of the Victoria and Albert Museum. An additional wing containing a lecture hall and reading room was added in 1911.

Bibliothèque du Prince Consort

La Bibliothèque du Prince Consort est une bibliothèque spécialisée conçue pour participer à l'éducation des soldats de l'Armée britannique se trouvant au sein de la garnison d'Aldershot dans le Hampshire. Aujourd'hui il s'agit de la bibliothèque spécialisée dans le domaine militaire du Service de bibliothèque de l'Armée, se concentrant sur la fourniture d'informations sur les sujets militaires actuels, les questions politiques et les relations internationales pour soutenir les opérations, le renseignement, la formation et l'éducation au sein des Forces armées. Il s'agit d'un bâtiment classé de Garde II. Histoire Le 1er juin 1859, le colonel Phipps écrit au sujet du prince Albert au Major Général J. Peel, le Secrétaire d'État à la Guerre, déclarant que le prince consort est « désireux de présenter une collection de 1 000 livres aux officiers du camp d'Aldershot », ajoutant que le prince fournira également la bibliothèque pour abriter les livres. Après d'autres échanges épistolaires, les travaux de construction de la bibliothèque débutent en septembre 1859, et elle ouvre ses portes en septembre 1860 avec 1 000 livres offerts par la collection du prince Albert. Le prince couvre également le coût de construction de la bibliothèque, de son ameublement, de son entretien, ainsi que celui de la plantation d'arbres et d'arbustes. Le coût total s'élève à 4 183 livres. Les frais de fonctionnement quotidiens de la bibliothèque sont pris en charge par le prince consort jusqu'à sa mort en 1861, date à laquelle la reine Victoria exprime son souhait de poursuivre l'intérêt royal pour la bibliothèque et ordonne que son entretien soit financé par la Cassette royale. Elle prend également en charge le salaire du premier bibliothécaire officiel, le sergent Charles Gilmore du 49e régiment de pied, qui occupe se poste de 1861 à 1891, ainsi que sa pension à sa retraite. En 1887, la bibliothèque ne compte encore que 2 160 livres, alors la Aldershot Military Society est fondée le 23 décembre 1887, sous le patronage de la reine Victoria, pour financer l'achat de nouveaux livres grâce aux donations des membres de la société, tandis que la Cassette royale continue de financer l'entretien de la bibliothèque. Ce système perdure jusqu'en 1935, date à laquelle le War Office assume la responsabilité de fournir des livres et d'assurer l'entretien du bâtiment. La bibliothèque du prince consort est conçue par le capitaine Francis Fowke des Ingénieurs royaux, qui conçoit également le Royal Albert Hall. Une aile supplémentaire est ajoutée en 1911, comprenant une salle de conférence et une salle de lecture.

It is a co-educational comprehensive high school, in which there are about 1,280 students enrolled, aged between 13 and 18. It is situated in the north of Evesham off the A4184, near the junction with the B4624, adjacent to the north of the railway, and serves the town of Evesham and surrounding villages. History The school is over 600 years old and was originally established as a school for the poor that was attached to Evesham Abbey. The original school was by the side of what is now the road from Merstow Green to the High Street in Evesham. The present site of the school was established in the late 19th century and is about one kilometre approximately north-north-east of the original site. The school is named after Henry Frederick Stuart, the elder brother of Charles I of England: Prince Henry died at the age of 18 years and predeceased his father King James I, thus never becoming king. As Prince Henry's Grammar School, the school had around 500 boys and girls. In 1906 it merged with Deacle School, a charity school established with money left by John Deacle in 1709; this school was built in Port Street in 1729. In 1973 it was renamed Prince Henry's High School, a comprehensive school. In 1993 it became a grant-maintained school, then in 1999 it became a foundation school. It is now a secondary school with the specialist designation of Language College. In 2010, plans were announced to change the school into an academy in a move to improve funding, and provide more opportunities for the pupils in the school. School inspections The school's most recent inspection by Ofsted was in March 2024, with a judgement of Outstanding in all aspects. National Teaching School Status In April 2014, Prince Henry's High School was selected by the National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) to become a national teaching school.

Prince's Half-Tide Dock

Prince's Half-Tide Dock on the River Mersey, England, is a half tide dock and part of the Port of Liverpool. It is situated in the northern dock system in Vauxhall, connected to East Waterloo Dock and West Waterloo Dock to the north and Prince's Dock to the south. History The dock opened in 1810 and consisted of a lock entrance from the Mersey. This passage has since been closed off. The dock was rebuilt in 1868 by George Fosbery Lyster. In 2007, work began on a £20 million extension of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, providing a further 1.4 mi (2.3 km) of navigable waterway and encompassing Prince's Half-Tide Dock. A new lock, and fixed bridge, was built at the entrance to the adjoining Prince's Dock. The dock was partly filled in to reduce its depth. Isle of Man ferry terminal The Isle of man ferry terminal opened in 2024. Future The area surrounding Prince's Half-Tide Dock forms part of the proposed multi-billion pound Liverpool Waters development; a series of towers is planned to be built around the dock. Prince's Half-Tide Dock is the location of the new £3.5 million Isle of Man Steam Packet Company ferry terminal, which, in 2024, replaced the existing facility at Pier Head, which is "nearing the end of its operational life" according to the report placed before Tynwald (the Isle of Man parliament). The proposals were discussed before Tynwald on 19 July 2016. References Sources Pollard, Richard; Pevsner, Nikolaus (2006). Lancashire: Liverpool and the South West. Yale University Press.

Princess Helena College

PHC was a co-educational private day and boarding school for pupils aged 11 to 18 in Preston near Hitchin in Hertfordshire, England. The school was housed in a Queen Anne country house, formerly known as Temple Dinsley, which was redesigned by Edwin Lutyens, at the same time as the gardens were designed by his great friend, Gertrude Jekyll. The house is listed Grade II* on the National Heritage List for England, and the gardens and landscaped park are listed Grade II* on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. History Princess Helena College was founded by Miss Sophia Williams in 1820 for daughters of officers who had served in the Napoleonic Wars and daughters of Anglican clergy.

Originally opened in honour of Princess Charlotte, in 1874, Princess Helena, Queen Victoria's third daughter, became President of the college, and the school enjoyed royal patronage ever since. The school became part of United Learning in 2018, and from 2019, the college accepted boys at age 11 and age 16. The school closed at the end of August 2021 due to persistent financial difficulties that were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

House points were awarded for each event and students also earned points for excellent pieces of work. Boarding There was one boarding house, which was in the main school. Year 11 and sixth form students had single rooms while all other year groups shared rooms with a number of peers depending on their age. There were common rooms, kitchens and other spaces for relaxation and games. Boarders had access to music practice rooms and sports facilities in evenings, together with a varied range of weekend activities.

Princess Louise, Holborn

The Princess Louise is a public house on High Holborn, a street in central London. Built in 1872, it has a well-preserved 1891 Victorian interior, with wood panelling and a series of booths around an island bar. It is a tied house owned by the Samuel Smith Old Brewery of Tadcaster, Yorkshire. About Being located near Bloomsbury, the British Museum and the University of London, it is patronised by academics. Building The building is protected by its Grade II* listing and has what has been described as "a rich example of a Victorian public house interior", by William B Simpson and Sons; who contracted out the work. The men's toilets, with their marble urinals, are mentioned in the listing. The pub, which is also listed on National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors, was refurbished in 2007. The pub is unusual in that it retains its snob screens. In June 2009, the pub was joint winner of the best refurbishment class of the 2008 Pub Design Awards awarded annually by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA). Author Peter Haydon included the Princess Louise in his book The Best Pubs in London and rated it No. 5 in the capital, saying it had "possibly the best preserved Victorian pub interior in London". History The pub was operated by Regent Inns from 1990 until 1998, when the lease was taken over by Samuel Smith. The Princess Louise has been the venue for a number of influential folk clubs run by Ewan MacColl and others, which played an important part in the British folk revival of the late 1950s and early 1960s.
