Admiralty House, Mount Wise

Admiralty House is a substantial building at Mount Wise, Devonport, Plymouth. It is a Grade II listed building. History Military use in the 18th & 19th centuries The house was designed by James Wyatt and built between 1789 and 1793 in Plymouth limestone. It was originally known as Government House and served as the home of the military Governor of Plymouth; it later housed the General Officer Commanding Western District until that army command moved out in 1905. The house was then used as the home of the General Officer Commanding Wessex Area until 1934. Naval use in the 20th & 21st centuries The naval Commander-in-Chief, Plymouth, who had previously been based next door at Hamoaze House, moved into the property in 1934 and it was renamed Admiralty House. At the same time Hamoaze House, was handed over to the Major-General commanding the Royal Marines. Area Command Headquarters and Plymouth Underground Extension In 1939-41 a partly subterranean complex of buildings was constructed in the grounds of the house, within the ditch of the old fortifications, to serve as a combined RN/RAF headquarters for maritime operations; similar Area Command Headquarters were constructed at the same time close to the Royal Naval Dockyards at Portsmouth, Chatham) and Rosyth. The Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, visited the house and the combined headquarters in 1941. The headquarters were expanded during World War II by a series of tunnels, known as Plymouth Underground Extension (PUE), which formed a sizeable bomb-proof bunker complex under the garden of Admiralty House; it could be accessed from Richmond Walk, Blagdon's boatyard and Hamoaze House as well as from the headquarters building itself. PUE was closed in the 1950s but the headquarters block continued in use. Post-war After the war the combined headquarters (renamed Maritime Headquarters) remained in use as headquarters of the Commander-in-Chief, and as such provided command facilities for NATO operations in the Eastern Atlantic, together with local co-ordination of RN, RAF and Civil Defence capabilities, and assorted intelligence and maritime surveillance facilities. In the mid-1980s and early 1990s the facility was comprehensively upgraded. After 1969, Admiralty House became the home of the Flag Officer, Plymouth until that post was also disbanded in 1996. The complex was then used to house a number of different operations on a temporary basis until 2004 when it was earmarked for disposal. Closure and sale of the site The house was marketed for sale as a potential hotel in 2014 and much of the surrounding site was adapted for residential use in 2015. References

The surviving parkland associated with the house is including in Durham County Council's Local List of Historic Parks, Gardens and Designed Landscapes. History The manor house was built for John Richardby, a London merchant, in 1800. It was bought by Thomas Wilkinson (1752-1825), a former mayor of Durham, in 1806 and it then passed to the Rev Percival Spearman Wilkinson (1792-1875), in 1828. The Rev Percival Spearman Wilkinson commissioned Phillip Wyatt to expand the house in the Georgian style in 1830. Mount Oswald then passed to the Rev Percival Spearman Wilkinson's son, Percival Spearman Wilkinson JP (1820-1898), before being acquired by the North Brancepeth Colliery Company in the 1890s. The house was acquired by North of England Estates (a business owned by the McKeag family) in 1934: North of England Estates operated the Mount Oswald estate as the Durham City Golf Club until 1967, when the golf club moved to Littleburn, and then operated it as a commercial golf course. The property was then acquired by the property developers, Banks Group, for residential development in January 2014. In August 2014 Banks Group sold part of the site to Durham University who had ambitions to use it for accommodation for 1,000 students. The project was procured by Durham University under a private finance initiative contract in August 2018. The construction works, which were undertaken by Interserve at a cost of £105 million, saw John Snow College (relocated from Rushford Court) and South College (a completely new college) created on the Mount Oswald site in September 2020. In June 2019 Durham County Council revealed plans to move the county archives from County Hall to a new history centre, which was also intended to accommodate the Durham Light Infantry Collection, in the manor house at Mount Oswald. The project, which envisaged Banks Group transferring the manor house to the council for a nominal sum, was granted planning consent in September 2020. In March 2020 Banks Group also applied for planning permission to convert the gatehouses into residential properties. The Story museum opened to the public in June 2024, incorporating the County Durham Archives, the Historical Environment Record for the county, the Durham Light Infantry collection, the Local Studies collection and the Historic Registration collection. It won the national Excellence in Heritage and Culture Award from the Royal Town Planning Institute in 2025. See also The Light, Durham References

At one corner is a stair tower with a domed copper roof; projections at other corners carry services between floors. It was designed from the outset to use electricity from the local power station, one of the earliest mills to do so, and thus had no large boiler house and stack, although conventional heating boilers and chimneys were required for heating purposes. Equipment Line shafts at ceiling height on each floor which operated the spinning machines were driven by individual electric motors. The end bays in upper floors were lower than the rest of the floor to allow the mounting of the motors at the appropriate height. The mill housed 125,000 mule spindles and 31,000 ring spindles. History The building and fitting of the mill was completed in 1927, by which time its owner, Sir John Holden, 1st Baronet, had recently died. Sir John was a self-made man who was born in Bolton but lived in Leigh where he was twice Mayor of the town. Cotton spinning at the mill came to an end in 1965, after which time it was occupied by Littlewoods Mail Order as a warehouse. In 2006 planning application for conversion to apartments. The exterior window frames visible today are actually unglazed and provide open balcony screens designed to preserve the mill's original appearance. See also Listed buildings in Bolton References

It is in the parishes of Arthington (West Yorkshire) and Castley (North Yorkshire), between Leeds and Harrogate. It is a Grade II listed structure.

It was part of the Leeds and Thirsk Railway's line from Leeds to Stockton-on-Tees via Harrogate, later the Leeds Northern Railway and eventually amalgamated into the North Eastern Railway. Opening of the line was delayed by problems with the nearby Bramhope Tunnel. During the construction of Arthington Viaduct, a worker was killed when one of the arches collapsed. The railway company's chief engineer, Thomas Grainger surveyed the line and designed the structures, including the viaduct. Grainger also built the better-known Knaresborough Viaduct on the same line over the River Nidd. The viaduct is a Grade II listed building, a status which provides it legal protection. It is listed in both West Yorkshire and North Yorkshire. Description The viaduct spans the River Wharfe consists of 21 arches in punched sandstone, each with a span of 60 feet (18 metres) and are carried on tall rectangular piers, rising to a maximum height of 80 feet (24 metres). The piers in the river are fitted with round-nosed cutwaters. At the spring of the arches are moulded impost bands and above them is a string course which runs the length of the bridge. The bridge is crowned with coped parapet. The arches have rusticated, stepped voussoirs and several have circular metal tie plates. The viaduct curves to the north east and has substantial stone abutments at each end. The six southern arches are in the parish of Arthington, West Yorkshire and the remainder in the North Yorkshire village of Castley.
