Jumbo Water Tower

Jumbo Water Tower je vodárenská věž u Balkerne Gate v Colchesteru v hrabství Essex. Věž byla přezdívána posměšným výrazem Jumbo podle slona z londýnské zoo, který jí dal v roce 1882 reverend John Irvin, kterému vadilo, že věž zastiňuje jeho nedalekou faru v St Mary at the Walls. Věž byla v roce 1971 byla zapsána na seznam kulturního dědictví Anglie a je na stupni II*. Historie Vodárenská věž byla postavena pro zásobování Colchesteru pitnou vodou a pro potřebu hašení požáru. Věž pro gravitační zásobování vodou navrhl Charles Clegg (asi 1855–1904), městský zeměměřič a inženýr. Stavba byla po dvaceti měsících výstavby ukončena v roce 1882 a otevřena 27. září 1883. Po zemětřesení se v roce 1888 objevily v konstrukci praskliny a proto byla zpevněna stahovacími tyčemi. V roce 1895 byla instalována nová čerpadla a potrubí, takže vodárenská věž moha město zásobovat vodou po celý den (do té doby jen šest hodin denně). V roce 1894 a 1908 byly kolem nádrže postaveny kovové lávky. V roce 1948 byla vyměněna původní střecha za střechu pokrytou měděným plechem. V roce 1974 vlastnila vodárenskou věž společnost Anglian Water. V roce 1984 byla věž vyřazena z provozu a v roce 1987 byla prodána. V roce 2007 byla část střechy poškozena silným větrem. V roce 2014 věž odkoupil Paul Flatman, který ji v roce 2021 pronajal na 150 let společnosti North Essex Heritage. Popis Věž je postavena na čtvercovém půdorysu a byla vystavěna v novorománském stylu. Zděnou část, která dosahuje výšky 27 m, tvoří čtyři rohové pilíře s rozšířenými členěnými patkami a nárožními pilastry s profilovanými hlavicemi. Pilíře jsou propojeny vysokými oblouky s profilovaným architrávem, nad nimiž jsou dvě řady konzol. Středovou cihlovou šachtou vede k nádrži potrubí a ozdobné litinové točité schodiště. Na žulovém věnci je umístěna nádrž sestavena ze sešroubovaných litinových plátů. Stavbu završuje jehlanová střecha pokrytá měděným plechem a je zakončena lucernou s větrnou korouhví ve tvaru slona. Do středového pilíře je prolomen obloukový vstup s profilovaným terakotovým ostěním. Nad vstupem je terakotová deska s nápisem: WATER TOWER 1882. Data Celková výška stavby: 40,1 m, výška zděné části: 27 m, půdorys: 17,5 × 17,5 m, objem nádrže: 1 004 666 l (1069 m³), počet schodů: 157, spotřeba: 450 t cementu, 369 t kamene, 142 t železa, 1,25 miliónů červených cihel stavitel věže: firma Henry Everett & Son, konstrukce nádrže: firma A.G.

Kildare (narrowboat)

Kildare is an un-powered butty boat constructed with wrought iron sides and an elm bottom. She was built for Fellows Morton & Clayton around 1913 by Braithwaite & Kirk of West Bromwich to be towed behind a powered craft like President. She is complete with a fully fitted boatman's living cabin and traditional covering cloths over the main hold area. She continued to trade for Fellows Morton & Clayton until she was sold in 1948 to Ernie Thomas. Later she entered service in 1957 with Willow Wren Canal Carrying Company as Snipe. There were two more changes of ownership as Snipe, when she reverted to her original name on joining Warwickshire Fly Boat's fleet. In 1991 she was obtained by the Black Country Living Museum, where it is based and can be seen dockside in the Lord Ward's Canal Arm at the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley when she is not out on the canal system with President . The boat is maintained and operated by Friends of President on behalf of the Black Country Living Museum. Kildare is on the National Historic Ships register. In 1992 she paired with President on a 257-mile journey through Cheshire and Staffordshire to raise money for orphaned children in Romania.

Lister Park

Lister Park (also known as Manningham Park) is a picturesque public park in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, between Manningham, Heaton and Frizinghall. It has won various national awards. About the park It is situated about a mile outside the city centre on Manningham Lane, the main road between Bradford and Shipley. It is one of the city's largest parks and was purchased by the City of Bradford for half its commercial value from Samuel Cunliffe Lister, who built Lister's Mill. An open air swimming pool, the Lister Park Lido was added to the park in 1915. Although it was very popular in its early years, by the 1930s the public were losing interest in the facility which no longer met the standards of hygiene they expected. In response to proposals made by the baths committee, the council carried out a modernisation scheme in 1937 which involved the installation of a filtration, sterilisation and heating plant. A cafe was also added. The Lido was reopened in May 1939. Popularity of the Lido waned over time and by 1982 repairs to the value of £60,000 were needed. The Lido closed in 1983 and was demolished in 1991. The park has been successfully renovated in recent years. The lake has been re-opened for boats and a Mughal Water Garden constructed. There are also tennis and basketball courts, bowling greens and a children's playground. Bradford parkrun, a free, weekly, 5 km, hosted by local volunteers, is held in the park at 9 am every Saturday. The park's original botanical garden was built by the Calverley antiquarian Samuel Margerison, who had a flair for garden design. Lister Park contains the Cartwright Hall art gallery, where permanent and temporary exhibitions of modern and traditional art can be seen. It was voted Britain's Best Park for 2006, and nominated for the Best Park In Europe 2006.

Lyric Theatre (Hammersmith)

Il Lyric Theatre o Lyric Hammersmith è un teatro londinese sito nel quartiere di Hammersmith e Fulham. Storia Il Lyric Theatre nacque come Music Hall nel 1888 e successivamente fu restaurato e ampliato dall'architetto Frank Matcham, che lo approntò per l'uso moderno nel 1895, quando riaprì al pubblico come The New Lyric Opera House. Nel 1966 il teatro stava per essere chiuso e demolito ma una petizione di cittadini del quartiere salvò l'edificio, che fu ristrutturato e riaperto al pubblico nel 1979. Il teatro ha due spazi scenici principali, una Main House per 550 spettatori e lo Studio, che ne ospita 120. Nel 2011 il teatro è stato premiato con il Premio Laurence Olivier. Nel corso della sua storia il teatro ha ospitato numerosi allestimenti di rilievo di classici del teatro antico, rinascimentale e moderno, tra cui Le Baccanti (2005), A Raisin in the Sun (2005), Giulio Cesare (2005), Cimbelino (2006), Angels in America - Fantasia gay su temi nazionali (2007), Tre sorelle (2010), Blasted (2010), Sogno di una notte di mezza estate (2012), Desiderio sotto gli olmi (2012), Shopping and Fucking (2016), Rumori fuori scena (2019) e Casa di bambola (2019).

Minster Lovell Hall

Minster Lovell Hall is a ruin in Minster Lovell, an English village in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds. The ruins are situated by the River Windrush. History Minster Lovell Hall was built by William Lovell around 1440. As Minster Lovell was one of the earliest estates held by the Lovell family and one of their main residences it was at least the second building occupying this site. The Hall was a fairly typical if impressive manor house. The buildings surround three sides of a square; the fourth side towards the River Windrush was closed off by a wall. The great tower at the south-west corner seems to be a later addition to the house, as part of the adjoining west wing had to be rebuilt. Minster Lovell Hall remained the main residence of the Lovell family. Richard III visited it as a guest of Francis Lovell, 1st Viscount Lovell, grandson of William Lovell. Francis Lovell's estates were declared forfeit after the Battle of Bosworth and Minster Lovell was granted to Jasper Tudor, uncle of Henry VII. The property changed hands several times over the next two centuries. Among the owners were Henry VIII's gentlemen of the stool, William Compton and Henry Norris. The property was bought in 1603 by Sir Edward Coke. The manor remained in the Coke family for several generations, and Thomas Coke, created Baron Lovel in 1728, abandoned Minster Lovell Hall in 1747. Large parts of the buildings were dismantled. By the early nineteenth century the ruins of Minster Lovell Hall were thought to have been the buildings of an alien priory. Legend According to one report a skeleton was discovered in the basement of Minster Lovell Hall in 1718 and was thought to be that of Francis Lovell who had hidden there after the Battle of Stoke and had died of starvation. It seems unlikely this is the case. Francis Lovell spent little time in Minster Lovell and therefore would have no faithful servant there who could hide and feed him for years. Today The quite extensive ruins of Minster Lovell Hall are now in the care of English Heritage as a Grade I listed building and scheduled monument. The most prominent features are the Hall with its ornamented entrance porch and the south west tower. A dovecote, probably also built in the fifteenth century, is also part of the site. Much of the site has fallen over the years but large amounts remain to this day.

Minster Lovell Hall

La Minster Lovell Hall era una casa di campagna inglese, ubicata nelle immediate circostanze di Minster Lovell, nel West Oxfordshire. Costruita nel Quattrocento, dopo il suo abbandono la dimora venne lasciata come un rudere pittoresco, stato in cui permane tuttora. Storia La Minster Lovell Hall venne costruita da William Lovell nel 1440 circa. Adagiata su un dolce declivio che scende sino al fiume Windrush, Minster Lovell era una delle tenute più importanti della famiglia Lovell, sicché questo si trattava di uno dei primi edifici ad occupare il sito. Nel Quattrocento, la struttura divenne la residenza del visconte Francis Lovell, nipote di William e fidato amico di Riccardo III d'Inghilterra. Quando vi fu la battaglia di Bosworth Field e quest'ultimo morì, Francis dapprima partecipò alla ribellione fallita di Lambert Simnel, per poi dileguarsi, forse in Scozia; da qui, si perdono le sue tracce. Da questo momento in poi i beni a Minster Lovell, compresa la Hall, divennero possesso di Jasper Tudor, zio di Enrico VII d'Inghilterra. Il possesso della Minster Lovel Hall passò attraverso diverse generazioni: venne acquisita da William Compton, Henry Norris e infine da Sir Edward Coke, nel 1603. Il maniero divenne quindi l'abitazione della famiglia Coke per lunghissimo tempo, fino a quando Thomas Coke lo abbandonò, nel 1747. A partire da questo anno, il sito fu lasciato definitivamente e per sempre, per poi subire alcuni devastanti interventi durante i quali vennero asportate grandi parti della struttura. I ruderi sono oggi protetti in quanto monumento classificato di I grado e come Scheduled Monument. Leggenda Come già accennato, dopo la sconfitta di Lambert Simnel, Francis Lovell scomparve definitivamente. Non è mai stato possibile spiegare la misteriosa sparizione del Lovell, fino al 1718, quando venne portato alla luce, in una camera segreta del castello, uno scheletro umano. Dopo questo eccezionale rinvenimento, subito si pensò che fosse lo scheletro di Francis che, dopo la disfatta avuta alla battaglia di Stoke Field, si sarebbe rifugiato qui, per poi morire di fame. Purtroppo, questa tesi pare essere inattendibile poiché Francis Lovell, non avendo mai trascorso molto tempo presso Minster Lovell, non avrebbe potuto disporre di un servitore disposto a nutrirlo e nasconderlo per anni.

Monkwearmouth Railway Bridge

Monkwearmouth Railway Bridge je obloukový železniční most v severoanglickém městě Sunderland, překonávající řeku Wear. Most byl postaven jako součást Monkwearmouth Junction Line, železniční tratě spojující Brandling Junction Railway a Durham & Sunderland Railway. Architektem mostu byl Thomas Elliot Harrison a spolu s celou tratí byl most otevřen v roce 1879. Po dokončení se stal prvním železničním mostem na řece Wear. V současnosti je most využíván zelenou linkou newcastleského metra (od roku 2002) a nachází se mezi stanicemi St Peter 's na severní straně a Sunderland na jižní straně. Mostem prochází i železniční trať Durham Coast Line. Hlavní obloukové rozpětí má délku 91,4 m a boční cihlové rozpětí jsou 7,6 m dlouhé. Mostovka se nachází 26 m nad hladinou řeky Wear. Hned vedle mostu Monkwearmouth Railway Bridge se nachází silniční most Wearmouth Bridge.

Monkwearmouth Railway Bridge

Monkwearmouth Railway Bridge (officially Monkwearmouth Bridge, also called Wearmouth Railway Bridge or Sunderland Railway Bridge) is a railway bridge built in 1879, crossing the River Wear at Sunderland and Monkwearmouth. The bridge lies adjacent to and upstream of the Wearmouth Road Bridge. Originally built as part of the Monkwearmouth Junction Line, it provided the first direct railway link between Newcastle and Sunderland. The bridge is now used by Tyne and Wear Metro and Durham Coast Line services. History and design The bridge was built as part of the infrastructure for the Monkwearmouth Junction Line, which opened in 1879; a connecting line across the River Wear to link line of the former Brandling Junction Railway at Monkwearmouth to the south bank at Sunderland and the line of the former Durham and Sunderland Railway. The bridge was designed by T. E. Harrison: it consisted of a 300 ft (91 m) main span, an iron bowstring bridge, constructed from box girders connected by what would later be considered a Vierendeel truss with curved corner strengthening to create elliptical voids in the bracing. Harrison's design pre-dates Vierendeel's theoretical analysis of these structures by around 20 years. The iron bridge was supported 86 ft (26 m) above high water level on the Wear. At either end of the bridge were three 25 ft (7.6 m) span masonry arches. Hawks, Crawshay and Sons built the ironwork, John Waddell was contractor for the stonework. At the time of its construction it was claimed to be the largest hogsback iron bridge in the world. The structure was grade II listed in 1978, planning consent was required for alterations to the structure circa 2000 for works relating to Metro construction: for the installation of overhead line electrification; and for the construction of a station (St Peter's Metro station), constructed on the northern approach viaduct of the bridge. In 2007 the bridge underwent repairs and strengthening, including the installation of 45 new transverse beams. Use The bridge and railway allowed trains to run directly from Newcastle to Hartlepool, by creating a through line from Newcastle to Sunderland. Since 2002, the bridge has also carried the Tyne and Wear Metro. It is part of the modern (2012) Durham Coast Line.
