Royal Exchange

A Royal Exchange de Londres foi fundada no século XVI pelo comerciante Sir Thomas Gresham por sugestão de seu feitor Richard Clough para atuar como um centro de comércio para a cidade de Londres. O local foi fornecido pela City of London Corporation e pela Worshipful Company of Mercers, que ainda possuem conjuntamente a propriedade. A fundação original foi inaugurada cerimonialmente pela Rainha Elizabeth I, que lhe concedeu o título "real". O atual edifício neoclássico tem planta trapezoidal e fica no coração da cidade. Encontra-se no bairro de Cornhill. O edifício de foi destruído duas vezes por um incêndio e posteriormente reconstruído. O edifício atual foi projetado por Sir William Tite na década de 1840. O local foi ocupado notavelmente pelo mercado de seguros do Lloyd's por quase 150 anos. Hoje, o Royal Exchange contém Fortnum & Mason The Bar & Restaurant, lojas de luxo e escritórios. Tradicionalmente, o Royal Exchange é o local onde certas proclamações reais são lidas por um arauto. Fatos como a dissolução do parlamento, a morte ou abdicação de um monarca e a confirmação da ascensão do próximo monarca ao trono pelo Conselho de Ascensão. História Richard Clough sugeriu inicialmente a construção da bolsa em 1562, e seu projeto original foi inspirado na bolsa de Antuérpia, a primeira bolsa do mundo construída propositadamente, com a qual Thomas Gresham, o representante da coroa inglesa em Antuérpia, estava familiarizado, e na qual o projetos das bolsas de Amsterdã (1611) e Rotterdam também seriam baseados. Foi o primeiro edifício comercial especializado da Grã-Bretanha, e Clough supervisionou a importação de alguns dos materiais de Antuérpia: pedra, ardósia, lambris e vidro, pelos quais ele próprio pagou milhares de libras. O Royal Exchange foi inaugurado oficialmente em 23 de janeiro de 1571 pela Rainha Elizabeth I, que concedeu ao edifício seu título real e uma licença para vender álcool e bens valiosos. Apenas a troca de mercadorias ocorreu até o século XVII. Os corretores da bolsa não eram autorizados a entrar no Royal Exchange por causa de seus modos rudes, por isso tinham que operar em outros estabelecimentos nas proximidades, como o Jonathan's Coffee-House. O edifício original de Gresham foi destruído no Grande Incêndio de Londres em 1666. Um segundo complexo foi construído no local, projetado por Edward Jarman e inaugurado em 1669. Apresentava uma alta torre de madeira sobre a entrada sul em Corn Hill; esta acabou caindo em desuso e, em 1821, foi substituída por uma nova torre e cúpula de pedra projetada por George Smith. A segunda Bolsa também foi incendiada em 10 de janeiro de 1838, num incêndio causado por um fogão superaquecido; o incêndio era visível de Windsor, a 39 km de distância. Tinha sido usado pelo mercado de seguros Lloyd's of London , que foi forçado a se mudar temporariamente para South Sea House após o incêndio de 1838.==Referências==
Leamouth Lifting Footbridge

The Leamouth Lifting Footbridge or Leamouth North Bridge is a steel lifting arch bridge for pedestrians over Bow Creek, the estuary of the River Lea. It connects Leamouth in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets to Canning Town in the London Borough of Newham. History Leaside Regeneration set up a design competition, which was won by Whitbybird in or before 2004. The bridge was budgeted at £3.5M and would have a 45m mast, that tilted and lowered the bridge at the north side of the river. The bridge was due for completion in 2007, but in 2005 the funding was withdrawn for the Thames Gateway Delivery Unit. In 2008 SOM designed a new bridge as part of a master plan for the area, and in 2011 it won the planning. The bridge was ordered by Ballymore Group. Bridge engineering was done by Davies Maguire, with consulting on the mechanical design by Eadon consulting In August 2014, the pre-fabrigated bridge was lifted into place. Characteristics The bridge can rise 4 metres on hydraulic pistons on both bridge ends. The bridge headway is 5.2m above MHWS when closed, and 9.4m when opened. References

Millbank

Millbank je londýnská čtvrť na východ od Pimlico a na jih od Westminsteru. Oblast dostala své jméno po mlýnu patřícímu blízkému Westminsterskému opatství. V 19. století byla nejvýraznější dominantou čtvrti věznice Millbank Prison určená pro vězně, kteří byli deportováni do britských kolonií. Millbank je také jméno ulice vedoucí podél severního břehu Temže, vedoucí na sever od Vauxhall Bridge Road až po Abington Street. Ulice byla vytvořena jako součást rekonstrukce nábřeží řeky v polovině 19. století. Vzhledem k blízkosti Westminsterského paláce má na této ulici své kanceláře mnoho poslanců parlamentu. Galerie Tate Britain se nachází blíže jižnímu konci ulice u Vauxhal Bridge. V době před všeobecnými volbami roku 1997 zde měla v Millbank Tower své sídlo i Labouristická strana Velké Británie. Výše nájmu 1 milión liber ročně však přiměla tuto stranu roku 2001 k přestěhování jejich kanceláří na Old Queen Street. Ředitelství významné britské chemické společnosti ICI se nacházelo v Millbank Tower až do jeho přesunutí na Manchester Square. Své sídlo zde, naproti Westminsterskému paláci, má i Millbank Studios – nezávislá rozhlasová společnost. Odsud vysílá většinu reportáží z parlamentu mnoho stanic včetně BBC, Sky News nebo ITV. Sousední College Green je používána pro rozhovory s politiky. Externí odkazy Obrázky, zvuky či videa k tématu Millbank na Wikimedia Commons

Finnish Olympic Sauna

The Finnish Sauna Bath London 1948, also known in the British context as the Finnish Olympic Sauna or the Cobdown Sauna (after its current location), is a sauna facility located in Cobdown Park, Aylesford, Kent, England. It was built by the Finnish timber building supplier Puutalo for use by the athletes and other members of the Finnish team at the London 1948 Olympics, in line with Finland's tradition of building 'Olympic saunas' for its athletes' use going back to the Paris 1924 games. The sauna was originally located in the athletes' village in Richmond Park, London, from where it was moved to the Reed Paper Mill in Aylesford a year later, and eventually from there to its current location nearby in 1957. Of single-storey, wooden, prefabricated construction, the building was designed by Finnish architect Toivo Jäntti. It comprises the sauna room as well as a washroom, a dressing/massage room, and a kitchen. The facility was in regular use until 2020, when it was closed down for safety reasons pending refurbishment. It is thought to be England's oldest purpose-built sauna still in use, and the oldest surviving Finnish 'Olympic sauna' anywhere in the world. In January 2024, the building received Grade II listed status from Historic England. References

Cart and Horses

The Cart and Horses is a pub in Stratford, London, next to Maryland railway station. Established in the early 19th century, it was an early venue for the heavy metal band Iron Maiden in the late 1970s and it became associated with the group. Location The pub is on the corner of Maryland Point, Leytonstone Road and Windmill Lane. It is adjacent to Maryland railway station. In the early 20th century, this was part of the A11, the main road from London to Norwich. History There has been a pub in Stratford with this name since 1765. In the early 19th century, it was on The Grove, adjoining Stratford House, at what later became nos 150–52. These buildings survived until around 1970, and featured typical 18th century balusters in the staircases. Around 1805, the pub moved to its current location at Maryland Point. The premises were rebuilt around 1880. The heavy metal band Iron Maiden first performed at the pub in 1976 with a line-up including founder and leader Steve Harris. They performed several times at the venue that year, and their appearance on 21 December was Dave Murray's first with the group. By 1977, the group's performances were becoming so popular, they were stretching the venue's capacity. After an altercation at a gig on 23 May, they were banned from the pub. They returned for a final gig on 7 April 1978. Live music is still an important feature of the venue, which promotes its associations with the group. In 2020, the basement was renovated to allow an audience of up to 80. References External links Official website
Abney Park Cemetery

Der Abney Park Cemetery in Stoke Newington im Nordosten von London ist einer der als Magnificent Seven bekannten sieben großen historischen kommerziellen Friedhöfe in London. Geschichte Zur Einrichtung des Friedhofs wurde ein historischer Park des 18. Jahrhunderts im 19. Jahrhundert umgewandelt. Der ursprüngliche Abney Park war von Mary Abney und Isaac Watts sowie der benachbarten Familie Hartopp eingerichtet worden. Mit der Einrichtung des Friedhofs wandelte sich die Funktion des Parks zu einem überkonfessionellen Friedhof mit einem halb öffentlichen Arboretum und einem Bildungsinstitut. Die Anlage wurde als ein Beispiel ihrer Zeit gefeiert. Der Friedhof wurde von 1840 bis 1974/8 als Begräbnisstätte genutzt. Die Anlage ist heute teilweise verwildert, ähnlich wie Highgate Cemetery, ein weiterer Friedhof der Magnificent Seven.

Ulverston Town Hall

Ulverston Town Hall is a former municipal building on Queen Street, Ulverston, a town in Cumbria, England. The building has been converted for residential use. History The building was commissioned by a local merchant and banker, George Shaw Petty, who adapted a barn, erected some years earlier, and extended it to create a house in 1825. Apart from the barn the site had previously been undeveloped. In the 1870s, the bank was taken over by Wakefield, Crewdson and Company of Kendal, and in the late 19th century, the bank was extended, closing up with the other structures to form a single building on the site. Wakefield, Crewdson and Company merged with Bank of Liverpool in 1893. Following significant population growth, largely associated with its status as a market town, Ulverston became an urban district in 1894. In this context, the new council purchased the bank for use as a town hall. Conversion work started in 1902. The work was carried out to a design by James Wright Grundy in the neoclassical style, involved the provision of a cement render finish and was completed in 1904. The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage of eight bays facing onto Queen Street. The left hand section of five bays (the original structure) was slightly projected forward and flanked by full-height Doric order pilasters. The third bay from each end featured a round headed entrance door flanked by pilasters supporting imposts and archivolts. The other bays on the ground floor and all the bays on the first floor were fenestrated by wooden sash windows. At roof level, there was a modillioned cornice. Internally, the principal room was a new council chamber which, together with a staircase, was inserted into the structure. The building continued to serve as the local seat of government until the enlarged South Lakeland District Council was formed at Kendal in 1974. It subsequently served as the offices and meeting place of Ulverston Town Council until the building became dilapidated and the town council had to relocate to the Coronation Hall in County Square in 2014. By that time, the building had also become underused. South Lakeland District Council declared it surplus to requirements and it was sold to South Lakes Housing Association for a nominal sum. Work began in 2018 to convert the building into 17 apartments some of which were intended to be available for rent at affordable prices. The works, which were undertaken by Leck Construction and financed by Homes England, the housing association and the district council, also involved the restoration of the wooden sash windows and entrance doors. The conversion was completed in August 2020. References
Throckley Hall

Throckley Hall is a privately owned 19th century manor house and gardens located about 6 miles (9 km) west of the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, within the village of Throckley. It has been privately owned throughout its history, having been originally owned by Sir William Haswell Stephenson. History The manorial estate of Throckley Hall, originally encompassed the majority of the land in the region and the village of Throckley. The industrialist, philanthropist and historical Lord Mayor of Newcastle Upon Tyne, Sir William Haswell Stephenson was born in Throckley and lived in Throckley Hall then known as Throckley House, prior to its expansion in 1850 and renaming to Throckley Hall, as it continues to this day. With Throckley having historically been a colliery village, the Stephenson family owned several coal pits and employed the majority of the local population. Sir Stephenson was Mayor of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1875, 1884, and 1894 and Lord Mayor in 1902, 1909, 1910, and 1911. The Stephenson family continued to reside in Throckley Hall following the death of Sir William. Other notable residents included Major William Ernest Stephenson, who held the rank of Major in the Northumberland Fusiliers of the British Army. Throckley Hall was featured on Antiques Roadshow in 1987. The Hall and Estate were subsequently accuired by the Blackhall family, thereafter undergoing a degree of sympathetic restoration and was selected by Newcastle City Council's Heritage and Historic Environment Department for commemoration and award of an official plaque. Unveiled in June 2024 in a ceremony by Cllr. Robert Higgins, the current Lord Mayor of Newcastle Upon Tyne, at the time, and Dr. Kristian Blackhall, the owner of Throckley Hall and the private estate. Grounds and Estate Throckley Hall remains a private residence along with the associated land, which include formal tiered gardens surrounding the house as well as several acres of protected woodland and meadows extending to the East and South, towards the River Tyne. The Hall itself retains many original and antique features, with original plaster mouldings in the hallways as well as the formal state rooms: drawing room and dining room. Several footpaths including a public right of way run along the western side of the private estate, extending south to the River Tyne and West towards the neighboring village of Heddon-on-the-Wall. Throckley Hall shares several architectural and design styles with similar historical properties and land estates, including nearby Heddon Hall and Newbrough Hall, constructed at a similar time.
