Cross Keys Inn, Odd Down

The Cross Keys Inn is a pub-restaurant and former coaching inn, trading since before 1750, on a corner of Midford Road in Odd Down, Bath, Somerset, England. It is a Grade II listed building. History The current building was erected in the late 17th or early 18th century. The site was owned by Bath Priory until the Dissolution of the Monasteries. It was then owned by Hugh Sexey. An inn is known to have stood on the site in 1718 when it is described in a document as "a new erected tenement or dwelling house...now a Public House on Odwood Down". At that time, the lease cost forty-two pounds and there was an annual rent charge of one pound ten shillings. In the mid 18th century the lease was held by Ralph Allen who was the postmaster of Bath and made a fortune by reforming the postal delivery system. The inn was situated strategically on a crossroads, with major roads going to Bristol, Warminster, Bath and Wells. It served as a coaching inn. The front of the building was altered in the 19th century. Sexey's Hospital was the owner until 1896 when it was sold to Oakhill Brewery. It remained under the control of breweries or pub management companies until 2014, when the freehold was purchased privately. It is now a free house and restaurant. Architecture The building has late seventeenth century or early eighteenth century origins, and was extensively modified in the second half of the nineteenth century. It was built out of squared off rubble stone and has a roof of Roman style tiles. Originally the building was a single room deep with two gable ends and a stair at the centre of the rear wall. It had coped front and end gables, with cross saddle-stones, and an ashlar chimney stack at each end. Since then, right and left wings have been added to the building at the rear and an ashlar extension with entrance added at the front. The building consists of three storeys and a cellar, the front extension is two storeys high and has a flat roof. There is a central tall chimney stack at the front, between the two gable ends. The interior of the building is reported to have an original staircase and fireplace. See also Crosskeys Inn, an 18th century pub and Grade B1 listed building in Northern Ireland References

The Flora

The Flora, also known as The Flora Hotel, is a pub at 525 Harrow Road, Kensal Green, London W10. It backs onto the Grand Union Canal. It is a Taylor Walker pub. As of December 2017, the pub is closed and boarded up. Planning consent has been given to convert the upper floors into residential use, a roof extension, and a five-storey building where the beer garden was, and with the ground floor to continue as a pub. Design The Flora was built in the 19th century from polychrome brick, and Pevsner notes its "angular window heads". The building is also notable for the contrasting brickwork above the windows and the floral motifs incorporated into the design. History The pub was known as The Flora Arms in at least 1881 and 1896. In the nineteenth century, as The Flora Hotel, the building was the location for a number of inquests into deaths in the Kensal Green area. Thomas Robinson Dipple was the publican for many years, from at least 1904 to 1921. Sometimes described as an "Irish" pub due to the large Irish community in the area, in the twentieth century the pub has been a favourite watering hole for supporters of the local football team Queen's Park Rangers.

Manhattan Loft Gardens

Manhattan Loft Gardens is a 42-storey 143 m (469 ft)-tall apartment building in Stratford, London. The architects and structural engineers are Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Reception On 5 December 2016, it was reported that the building had "destroyed" the protected view of St Paul's Cathedral from King Henry's Mound in Richmond Park, which had existed since 1710, when an avenue of trees was planted to frame the vista of the cathedral's dome. The developers responded that "despite going through the correct planning processes in a public and transparent manner, at no point was the subject of visual impact to St Paul's ever raised" by the Olympic Delivery Authority or the Greater London Authority and that they were looking into the issues raised by the development.

Breakfast Television Centre

Breakfast Television Centre is the former headquarters of TV-am in Camden Town, London, which is now the European headquarters of Paramount. It was converted from a former car showroom in 1981 to a design by Sir Terry Farrell, and came to be known as Eggcup House because of plastic eggcups on the roof. It has since been extensively renovated. As a Paramount subsidiary, UK broadcaster Channel 5 has its headquarters in the building. History In March 1981, a former car showroom was renovated for the TV-am studios. Sir Terry Farrell won the commission; his design became known for its vibrant postmodernism. There were 'TVAM' letters coming out of the wall, a sunrise archway over the entrance into the forecourt, and a number of plastic egg-cups on the edge of the roof facing the Regent's Canal, which led to the nickname 'Eggcup House'. The studios were used throughout TV-am's lifetime as a television network until 31 December 1992, when the studios and TV-am closed. Sale to MTV Europe Breakfast Television Centre was sold to MTV Europe in 1993. MTV stated that extra studios were available for commercial hire. The TV-am lettering built into the fascia of the building was covered over with discs, but the eggcups remained on the roof. In fact, during some of the earlier "live" MTV segments, based within the building, the very distinct former TV-am reception areas and non-studio space was used. Fire On 15 April 1999 a fire swept through the studios. MTV was forced to air emergency tapes and then came off the air when the electricity was switched off. 40 firefighters worked on the fire for three hours. The roof and parts of the first floor were destroyed, but the exterior was largely undamaged. The fire was believed to have been started by an electrical fault; no one was injured. Renovation In 2011, MTV Networks wanted to make changes to the building, primarily to remove some of the studios and replace them with modern office space. The rear of the building, facing the Regent's Canal, was repainted grey rather than blue, but the structure and the eggcups remained in place. The eggcups that overlook Regent's Canal were also repainted after years of damage and a large quantity of paint peeling. They were painted over the familiar blue and white eggcups to grey and white, matching the style of the renovated building. The front of the building was more extensively redeveloped during 2012–2013: the studio block, which had been the site of the original TV-am studios, was demolished, and replaced with a new glazed-fronted office complex. The courtyard between the prior studio and office sections was renovated and reorganised, including the installation of a green wall covering 3280 sq. ft. (305m²) in 2013. In 2016, the original green wall that Viacom commissioned during the major overhaul of the building was renovated once again, building over the original car park and area to create more studio and office space. This section of the building remains a green wall but it covers over the vibrant panels at the front. References External links TV-am Archive BBC News
Christuskirche (London)

Die Christuskirche ist die Kirche einer der deutschsprachigen evangelisch-lutherischen Kirchengemeinden in London. Die Gemeinde gehört der Synod of German-Speaking Lutheran, Reformed and United Congregations in Great-Britain an. Geschichte Eine erste deutsch-lutherische Gemeinde, die sogenannte Hamburger Kirche in der Londoner City, war nach dem großen Brand von London mit Privileg des Königs Charles II. – noch vor dem von William III. 1689 erlassenen Toleration Act – im Jahre 1669 gegründet worden, ihre Trinitatiskirche in Trinity Lane konnte 1673 eingeweiht werden. 1694 erfolgte die Abspaltung der zunächst in der Savoy Chapel gegründeten Mariengemeinde, die 1766 ihren Neubau durch William Chambers erhielt. Die spätere Christuskirche hingegen geht auf die deutsche Hofkapelle im St. James’s Palace in Westminster, gegründet 1700 von Prinz Georg von Dänemark, dem lutherischen Gemahl von Queen Anne, zurück. Ursprünglich auf die Angehörigen des Hofstaats beschränkt, kamen später wohlhabendere Kaufmannsfamilien wie auch die Diplomaten der preußischen Gesandtschaft zur Gemeinde hinzu. Die Kapelle wurde im Jahre 1901 geschlossen. Als Ersatz entstand mit finanzieller Unterstützung des Bankiers Baron John Henry Schröder die heutige Christuskirche am Montpelier Place im Londoner Stadtteil Knightsbridge in Kensington and Chelsea, die am 27. November 1904 durch den Auslandspfarrer Friedrich Frisius eingeweiht wurde. An der Einweihung nahmen Graf Johann Heinrich von Bernstorff, Prinz Christian von Schleswig-Holstein und seine Gattin Marie Louise sowie Ludwig von Battenberg und dessen Gattin Viktoria von Hessen-Darmstadt teil. Das Abendmahl-Kreuz und die Altarleuchter stiftete Kaiser Wilhelm II. Als Tochtergemeinde der Christuskirche wurde 1911 die Markuskirche in Tulham gegründet, die aber bei Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs 1914 geschlossen wurde. In der Zeit des Dritten Reichs war die Gemeinde Teil der Bekennenden Kirche. Architektur Architekten der Londoner Christuskirche waren der aus Philadelphia gebürtige Edward Böhmer (1861–1940), der seine architektonische Ausbildung an den Technischen Hochschulen von Stuttgart, Hamburg und Berlin-Charlottenburg erhalten hatte, und der aus Ludwigsburg stammende Carl Gottlob Friedrich Rees (1855–1931). Nach ihren Plänen entstand eine in Backstein mit Werksteinelementen ausgeführte neugotische Saalkirche. Die von zwei oktogonalen Treppentürmen flankierte Fassade zeigt über einem Wimpergportal ein vierbahniges gotisches Maßwerkfenster. Der Kirchenraum ist mit einem offenen Dachstuhl in Form einer englischen Hammerbeam-Konstruktion geschlossen, das polygonal endende Altarhaus ist kreuzrippengewölbt. Die Farbverglasung der Geburt Christi, der Kreuzigung Jesu sowie der Auferstehung Jesu Christi im Altarraum der Kirche schufen Franz Xaver Zettler von der Königlich Bayerischen Hofglasmalerei, Ostermann & Hartwein in München. Im Kirchenschiff stammt das Fenster der Kindersegnung Jesu gleichfalls von Zettler, die gegenüberliegende Darstellung des Barmherzigen Samariters von der Glasmalerei Schneiders und Schmolz aus Köln-Lindenthal.

Deutsche Evangelische Christuskirche

The Deutsche Evangelische Christuskirche is a church on Montpelier Place in Knightsbridge, London. German Christian theologian Julius Rieger has described it as the most significant German church in London. History The church is an offshoot of a congregation, known as the German Chapel Royal, which met at the Savoy Chapel and St James's Palace in Westminster. An earlier German Lutheran congregation had met on the site of Holy Trinity the Less until the 1860s, and latterly at the Hamburg Lutheran Church, alongside the German Hospital in Dalston. From 1901, the Lord Chamberlain's department no longer supported German services at the Chapel Royal, and the congregation relocated to the Eccleston Hall in Victoria. A dedicated church was funded by Sir John Schroder, 1st Baronet in honour of his late wife, Evelina. In parallel a Deed of Trust was established on 20 December 1904 to ensure the maintenance and the uphold of the building. The building was designed by the architects Edward Boehmer and Charles G. F. Rees. It was built by Dove Brothers from 1904 to 1905. The stained glass was designed by Franz Xaver Zettler, Ostermann & Hartwein, and Schneiders & Schmolz. Its dedication on 27 November 1904 was attended by Count Johann Heinrich von Bernstorff, Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein, Princess Marie Louise of Schleswig-Holstein, Prince Louis of Battenberg, and Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine. In May 1946, the German Christian theologian Julius Rieger wrote in a report that this was the most significant German church in London. He added that its congregants were refugees from Nazi Germany for the most part. The church today In 2012, the overall structure of the Trust was changed to separate the responsibility for the building and the running of the affairs of the congregations. As a result of this restructuring process, two charities now take responsibility for the congregation as well as for the building.

Dyke House Academy (formerly Dyke House Secondary Modern School, Dyke House Comprehensive School and then Dyke House Sports and Technology College) is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form located in Hartlepool, County Durham, England. School history The school was previously a secondary modern school, opened in 1939. A film was made of activities at the school in 1950. In 1993, the school was the second nationally following the introduction of Ofsted to be judged to be "causing concern". The then headteacher and staff noted in response the high level of deprivation in the area from which the school's pupils come, and the high level of special educational needs among the school's children. Local authority funding had been reduced. In 2008, the school was mentioned in the House of Commons as one of a number of schools which had not entered any children for a GCSE in a modern foreign language in the last three years.

The school is now part of the Northern Education Trust but continues to coordinate with Hartlepool Borough Council for admissions. The school was later renamed Dyke House Academy. As of 2020, the school's most recent full inspection was in 2015, with a judgement of Good. There was a short inspection in 2019, which made no change to the judgement of Good. In 2019, the school's Progress 8 measure at GCSE was average. The proportion of children achieving Grade 5 or above in English and maths GCSEs was above the average for Hartlepool. Absence and persistent absence were high. Progress at A-level in 2019 was above average. Academics Dyke House Academy offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils. The school also has specialisms in sports and technology.

Caedmon College was a community school administered by North Yorkshire Council. The emblem of the County School was Captain Cook's ship HMS Endeavour, portrayed with the Whitby ammonites on the sail and a flag composed of the flag of England with the upper third having three white roses on a red background. Caedmon College offers GCSEs, BTECs and Cambridge Nationals as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A-levels and further BTECs. In February 2019 the college agreed to federate with nearby Eskdale School creating the Whitby Secondary Partnership. In September 2024 Eskdale School was closed and merged with Caedmon College to become Whitby School once more. Whitby School is a community school administered by North Yorkshire Council.

Elberry Cove

Elberry Cove, also known as Elbury Cove, is a shingle beach surrounded by woodland and fields, that lies between Brixham and Paignton in Devon, England. It is important for its eelgrass beds, breeding grounds for native seahorses, as well as mussels that are farmed in the waters nearby. It is on the South West Coast Path. The coast around Elberry Cove is generally sheltered from the wind so is popular with water skiers. A ski lane is provided in the summer months. History At its eastern end are the ruins of Elberry bathhouse, which was built for Lord Churston in the 18th century, when seawater bathing became fashionable after George III took a dip at Weymouth. Standing three stories high, with the ground floor being flooded when the tide rose, the lord could swim into the sea through a gated doorway, preserving his dignity. The buildings also held a "hot-bath" room where seawater was heated and pumped in. In popular culture The cove was one of Agatha Christie’s spots, and features in one of her novels, The ABC Murders, as the setting of Sir Carmichael Clarke’s death. References
