The Lakes School

The Lakes School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form located in Troutbeck Bridge, Windermere, in the English county of Cumbria. It is a comprehensive community school administered by Westmorland and Furness Council. Its catchment area includes: Grasmere, Langdale Valley, Ambleside, Troutbeck, Windermere, Bowness on Windermere and Staveley. The school also offers evening adult education classes to the local community. History The Lakes School is one of the first purpose built comprehensive schools and was opened by Tony Crosland MP, Secretary of State for Education, on 8 October 1965 the same year he issued Circular 10/65 promoting comprehensive education. The school was first thought of in 1936 and brought together three existing schools, Windermere Grammar for boys, Kelswick, Ambleside, coeducational and Old College, Windermere, for girls. Windermere Grammar School is in the Guinness Book of Records as the first ever comprehensive school formed in 1945 after the Education Act 1944. The school stands on the site of where Calgarth Estate once stood, the wartime housing scheme built to house workers and families brought to the Lake District to work at the nearby Short Sunderland Flying Boat factory that stood on the shores of Windermere during WW2. Significantly, it was at Calgarth Estate that 300 young Holocaust Survivors stayed in 1945 after the horrors of the Holocaust. The estate was depicted in the BBC/Warner Bros film drama The Windermere Children first broadcast in 2020. The drama won the First Prize for Best Television Drama of 2020 in the Berlin Prix Europa Awards. Sir Ben Helfgott and the young Jewish children are Honorary Alumni at Lakes School though the school was opened twenty years after they had departed to begin new lives elsewhere. Notable alumni Chris Acland - Musician, Drummer with Lush. Attended the school from 1978-1985. Michael Cumming - Director, Filmmaker. Best known for his award winning comedy directing on Brass Eye, Toast Of London. Attended the school from 1974-1981. References External links The Lakes School official website
Millom School

Millom School, formerly Millom County Secondary School, is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form located in Millom in the English county of Cumbria. The school today It is a comprehensive community school administered by Cumberland Council. There is an all weather sports pitch (not 4G) and the "Melvyn Bragg Drama Studio" which was opened in 2005. Millom School offers GCSEs and BTECs 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. The school's catchment area has "serious socio-economic problems due mainly to the demise of the mining industry". Academic performance and school inspections In 2001 the school won the National Science Challenge Award, and in 2002 a teacher at the school was awarded the BP Award for Science Year. In 2014 the school was inspected by Ofsted and judged Good. It was inspected again in 2018 and judged to Require Improvement; as of 2020 this is the most recent inspection. In 2019, pupils' progress at GCSE was average. A level results in 2019 were below average. History The school has its roots in a Pupil-Teacher Centre, which formally became a secondary school in 1905. The school therefore celebrated its centenary in 2005. It was rebuilt in 1938, and at that point grammar school provision was added. The school at this time was known as Millom County Secondary School, and was co-educational grammar school. In 1950 the headteacher noted the "local tendency to despise study and to the consequent difficulty of the school-master in getting any sound homework done", especially because of the long journeys some children had to school. The technical side of the school included a Commercial School teaching secretarial skills. The school in its current format was opened by Princess Alexandra in 1959. The school comprises three main teaching blocks with a few specialist classrooms to one side for practical lessons. The three blocks, originally called Lower, Middle and Upper Schools, are now referred as Lonsdale Building, Muncaster Building and Ulpha Building. Since 1983, several specialist classrooms have been repurposed, losing woodworking and metalwork rooms, a typing room and a technical drawing room. The swimming pool (left to decay until unviable by Cumbria County Council) remains as dug. The Alexandra Hall, named after Princess Alexandra, is the school's main hall. The 'Melvyn Bragg' studio was added to the rear of the 'Alex Hall' in 2005 as a performing arts educational space. The 'Ulpha Building' was extended as 'Millom Network Centre', later changing name to Millom Hub, offering space to external organisations. It has been relocated to Millom Work and Skills Centre in the Devonshire Road Industrial Estate. In 2019 the local authority took over responsibility for the network centre, and there were concerns about its future. Notable former pupils Cliff Addison, chemist Norman Nicholson, poet John Satterthwaite, bishop References External links Millom School official website School pictures from 1927 Records at the National Archives
Grafton House

Grafton House (known as Ipswich Borough Council HQ) is the headquarters for Ipswich Borough Council and Smartest Energy. Located on Russell Road opposite Endeavour House, Grafton House is a 6-storey building and was designed by Consarc Consulting Architects and construction was completed in 2006 as part of the Ipswich Village Development. The building consists of mixed retail units at ground level including a coffee shop and 60,000 sq feet of office space. Grafton House was also classed as 'very good' by BREEAM standards. Design The building is constructed with an in situ cast post tensioned concrete frame sits on top of piled foundations with Precast brickwork spandrels and columns frame openings. The exterior walls are aluminium curtain walling, with timber windows, external rendering, timber and rain screen cladding. The building can hold 500 people and makes the most of a small site. There is car parking to the rear of the building and there is also a multi-storey car park (shared with Endeavour House) with access from Constantine Road. The buildings design is very urban and has a very simple floor plan. The building is split into 3, each linked with a small glass corridor to break up the long narrow floor plan. The construction also kept the existing trees along Russell Road and added a modern sculpture next to the entrance to add an urban feel. Sustainability The building includes a naturally ventilated atrium, energy-efficient lighting systems, and passive daylighting strategies intended to reduce reliance on artificial illumination. The internal layout is centred around an atrium that improves light distribution across multiple floors. According to Consarc Architects, Grafton House was designed to meet BREEAM ‘Very Good’ standards. The sustainability measures implemented include natural ventilation, efficient lighting, and daylight optimisation, all of which were intended to lower energy consumption during regular operations.

St Peter's Hospital, Covent Garden

St Peter's Hospital is a former hospital in Henrietta Street, Covent Garden, London, which is a grade II listed building. History Plans for the hospital were discussed at the home of Armstrong Todd, a surgeon who lived at London's 16 Burlington Street. The Hospital for Stone subsequently opened in 1860 at 42 Great Marylebone Street. It moved again, this time to a purpose-built facility in Henrietta Street, designed by J. M. Brydon in the Queen Anne style and opened by Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany in 1882. Henry Clutton, the ninth Duke of Bedford's architect, required amendments to be made to the design to suit the Bedford Estate's requirements. The building was constructed in such a way as to allow it to be converted in the future into residential flats and chambers. It closed in 1948. The hospital joined with St Paul's Hospital to form the Institute of Urology in 1948. The Institute was joined by St Philip's Hospital in 1952 and the hospitals became known as "the three Ps." After services were transferred to the Middlesex Hospital the Institute closed in 1992. The building in Henrietta Street has since been converted for residential use.

St Aldhelm's Church, Belchalwell

St Aldhelm's Church is a Grade II* listed Anglican church in the village of Belchalwell, Dorset. It is in the ecclesiastical parish of Belchalwell, which is part of the Benefice of Hazelbury Bryan and the Hillside Parishes. The church is situated on higher ground above Belchalwell village. The oldest parts of the church are of the 12th century; much of the building is of the 15th century. Saint Aldhelm There being no trace of the original dedication, after church records were lost in a fire in 1731, the church was dedicated in 1959 to Saint Aldhelm. Saint Aldhelm (c.639–709) was a notable scholar in Wessex in the time of King Ine; he was appointed the first Abbot of Malmesbury c.675, and became the first Bishop of Sherborne in 705. History and description The nave is the oldest surviving part of the church; the south wall dates from the late 12th century. There is no south aisle; the south doorway, which leads directly to the nave, is from this early period, having a well-preserved semi-circular Norman arch decorated with chevron patterns and terminating in head-stops. Most of the rest of the church is of the 15th century: the porch, the tower (built on the south of the church, adjoining the porch), the nave arcade, north aisle and the chancel. The tower has two stages and a parapet with battlements. It has gargoyles at the corners of the parapet string course, and a sundial (probably added later) on the south-west buttress of the tower. In the late 19th century the north aisle, the east wall of the chancel and the west wall of the nave were rebuilt. References

Lambeth Workhouse

The Lambeth Workhouse was a workhouse in Lambeth, London. The original workhouse opened in 1726 in Princes Road (later, Black Prince Road). From 1871 to 1873, a new building was constructed in Renfrew Road, Lambeth. The building was eventually turned into a hospital. The workhouse's former master's house and chapel are now occupied by the Cinema Museum which is a grade II listed building. The 19th-century workhouse was built for 820 inmates, divided by sex into two groups. It cost £64,000 to build and replaced the workhouse in Princes Road. The water tower of the workhouse is Grade II listed. In 2011, it was converted into an unusual residence with a lift and observation gallery made from the large water tank on the eighth floor. The new interior was designed by Sue Timney and the development was featured on the television show Grand Designs. The hospital was named Lambeth Hospital in 1922, which later gave its name to the psychiatric hospital in Clapham. Notable residents Charlie Chaplin was sent to the Lambeth Workhouse when he was seven years old, as a consequence of the financial difficulties of his family. Mary Ann Nichols (Polly), said to be Jack The Ripper's first victim, was an intermittent resident (from 1880 to her death in 1888); she was forced to leave her husband and children from their shared home (due to his affair) and was unable to feed and house herself.

William Stone Building

The William Stone Building is a residential structure within the grounds of Peterhouse, Cambridge, one of the constituent colleges of the University of Cambridge. It was recognised as a Grade II listed building in March 1993. The William Stone Building comprises residential accommodation for eight fellows and 24 students of Peterhouse. It was constructed during 1963-64 to a design by Leslie Martin and Colin St John Wilson that was influenced by the work of Alvar Aalto. The March 1993 Grade II listing details describe it: Buff brick; copper cladding. Flat roof. Irregular plan with staggered rooms, facing west. Eight storeys. Horizontal strip windows with bull-nosed cills. Varnished timber frames. Copper sheet cladding above top storey window. Elevation to east has expressed rectangular staircase and lift tower rising above roof line and narrow horizontal strip windows. The building is 102 feet (31 m) high on a 71 feet (22 m) by 42 feet (13 m) Aalto-inspired staggered ground plan. The construction cost of £100,000 was funded by a bequest from William Stone (1857-1958), a former member of the college. The original design was later amended to provide privacy for its occupants, who had found that they could see into each other's rooms from their windows; it still retains appealing views of the surrounding area. It was refurbished in 2007-08, when solar panels were also installed on the roof. The structure is the only tower-style student accommodation in the university and as of 2009 it was the de facto standard regarding planning decisions related to the maximum height of new developments in the city. The college describes it as "interesting historically as a belated and solitary example in Cambridge of the impact of Corbusier's fantasies of the 1920s of high-rise living for modern man".

Ditherington Flax Mill

Die Ditherington Flax Mill (auch Castle Foregate Flax Mill) ist eine 1796 bis 1797 nach Entwürfen des Architekten Charles Bage (1751–1822) gebaute Flachsspinnerei in Ditherington, Shrewsbury und die älteste Stahlskelettkonstruktion der Welt. Die Mühle wurde von der Firma Marshall and Benyon betrieben. In dem von Bage gebauten Hauptgebäude wurden die dampfbetrieben Arbeitsgänge des Mühlenbetriebes durchgeführt. Im Erdgeschoss befand sich eine Werkstatt, während in den oberen Stockwerken Leinen und Werg hergestellt wurde. Arbeitsschritte, die von Hand ausgeführt werden mussten, wurden überwiegend in den benachbarten Gebäuden durchgeführt, in denen zudem die Lagerung, Bleichung und Trocknung stattfand. Die Mühle wurde durch ein Boulton & Watt 20 HP Motor in einem Maschinenhaus am Ende der Mühle angetrieben. Die Konstruktion des Gebäudes war wegweisend für die Eisenarchitektur des 19. Jahrhunderts. 1800 wurde ein zweiter Motor, ein 40 oder 45 HP Fenton, Murray and Wood of Leeds in einem neuen Maschinenhaus hinzugefügt. Diese Maßnahme war vermutlich schon 1798 oder schon beim Bau des Gebäudes selbst geplant. Mehrere Umbauten und Erweiterungen wurden auf dem Gelände in den nächsten Jahren hinzugefügt. 1897–98 wurde die Mühle zu einer Mahlmühle umgebaut, die 1987 geschlossen wurde. Das Gebäude ist bis heute erhalten und steht seit 1953 unter Denkmalschutz (Grade I). In den 2010er Jahren wurde es saniert. Einzelnachweise
Ditherington Flax Mill

Ditherington Flax Mill (noto anche come Flaxmill Maltings), è un edificio che ospitava un mulino di lino situato a Ditherington, un sobborgo di Shrewsbury, in Inghilterra. Edificato nel 1797, è stato il primo edificio costruito con una struttura interna in ferro e come tale è considerato come il primo grattacielo del mondo, venendo descritto come "il nonno dei grattacieli" nonostante sia alto solo come un moderno edificio a cinque piani. La sua importanza è stata riconosciuta ufficialmente nel 1950, con la classificazione della costruzione nel grado I come monumento classificato.

Ditherington Flax Mill

Ditherington Flax Mill, en linnefabrik i Ditherington, en förort till Shrewsbury, England, är den äldsta byggnaden med stålskelett (dock med balkar av gjutjärn) i världen. Som sådan har den betraktats som “skyskrapornas förfader”, trots att den inte är högre än ett modernt femvåningshus. Dess betydelse uppmärksammades officiellt på 1950-talet, då den blev första gradens engelska byggnadsminne. Lokalt kallas byggnaden också ”Maltings”, från dess senare användning som mälteri. Byggnaden står tom och förvaltas av English Heritage. Planer på att konvertera byggnadens lokaler till bostäder, kontor och butiker godkändes i oktober 2010. Arkitekt var Charles Bage, som inspirerad av William Strutts arbeten, använde en stålskelettskonstruktion när han ritade byggnaden. Byggnaden uppfördes mellan 1796 och 1797, till en total kostnad av 17 000 pund. Dess konstruktion löste effektivt stora delar av problemet med brandrisken kopplad till industriell linbearbetning. Luften blir nämligen antändlig då den blir fylld av linets fibrer. Lösningen var att använda sig av brandsäkra kolonner och balkar av gjutjärn, ett system som senare utvecklades till det moderna stålskelett som möjliggjort skyskrapor. Fabriken byggdes på beställning av John Marshall, Thomas Benyon och Benjamin Benyon. Arkitekten, Bage, deltog också i investeringen. Samarbetet upplöstes 1804, och fabriken förvärvades helt av John Marshall som köpte ut de andra ägarna för 64 000 pund, enligt samtida värdering. De f.d. ägarna byggde istället Castlefields Mill i närheten. De två linnefabrikerna blev Shrewsburys huvudnäring. Ditherington Flax Mill stängdes 1886 och såldes för bara 3000 pund. Byggnaden konverterades till ett mälteri och som följd av detta murades många av fönstren igen. Källor Den här artikeln är helt eller delvis baserad på material från engelskspråkiga Wikipedia. Noter
