Temple Mill Island

Temple Mill Island is an island in the River Thames in England upstream of Marlow, and just downstream of Temple Lock. It is on the southern Berkshire bank close to Hurley. The island is named after the three watermills that used to be on the island for beating copper and brass. The island now has a modern housing development on it with a marina. Daniel Defoe referred to the mills in his A tour thro' the Whole Island of Great Britain (1724-1727). He referred to the "three very remarkable mills, called Temple-Mills, for making Bisham Abbey Battery-work viz. Brass Kettles and Pans &c of all sorts. And these works were attended with no small success, till in the year 1720, they made a bubble of it; and then it ran the fate of all the Bubbles at that time".

The Wordsley School

The Wordsley School is a coeducational community secondary school, located in Wordsley (near Stourbridge) in the West Midlands of England. History It opened in September 1972 as Buckpool School to serve the community of Wordsley, replacing Audnam Secondary School. It was renamed The Wordsley School in September 2002, and has gained specialisms in business & enterprise and music. In 2008, a front-page article in the Stourbridge News newspaper was run, with headteacher Mike Lambert criticising Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families Ed Balls after Mr. Balls threatened the school with closure because it was not achieving the target of 30% A* to C GCSEs in Maths and English. However, the school comfortably exceeded this target in 2009 when 37% of the school's GCSE students gained 5 or more grades at this level, though it was still the fourth lowest ranking school in the borough. For every year after this initial percentage rise the percentage achieving 5+ A*-C GCSEs (or equivalent) including English and maths GCSEs has increased. In 2010 this was at 46%, in 2011 this was at 50% and then in 2012 this number was 53%. Notable former pupils Carl Bridgewater, murder victim who was a third year (equivalent of today's Year 9) pupil at Buckpool School when he died on 19 September 1978 S. J.

Ventnor Towers Hotel

Ventnor Towers Hotel was a large hotel in Ventnor on the Isle of Wight. The building was constructed in 1872 and has been extended multiple times since its initial construction. It is notably one of the few hotels on the Isle of Wight to have a functioning Helipad. The hotel is south-facing, and sits little more than a few hundred feet from the steep cliffs that give access to Bonchurch. Documents on display inside the hotel mention of a similar hotel in the neighbouring town of Shanklin having been built around the same time as this hotel, but it has long since been defunct. As of 2023, the building was standing empty, pending renovation into a large house, restoring it to its original purpose, as the building had reportedly originally been constructed as a mansion prior to being converted to a hotel. Alternate names For a short time between the mid-1990s and the mid-2000s, the hotel was managed by Best Western, and was known as Best Western Ventnor. After the owners chose to manage the hotel instead, the hotel's name reverted to its current name. References
Victoria Barracks, Windsor

Victoria Barracks is a British Army barracks located 0.25 miles (0.40 km) south of Windsor Castle. History The original barracks were built in 1853 and were enlarged in 1911. The old barracks were completely demolished in 1988 and new barracks were built between 1989 and 1993. The barracks remain the place from where troops set off to change the guard at Windsor Castle. The Changing the Guard at Windsor Castle takes place on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 11am. Intruder In April 2022, an intruder who was a priest managed to spend the night at the barracks despite showing no identification or credentials, reportedly eating and drinking with senior officers, having claimed to have been a friend of the battalion's padre. Thames Valley Police officers attended and removed the intruder, Father Cruz, from the barracks. No further action was taken. However, an Army spokesman said: "The Army takes this breach of security extremely seriously and it will be thoroughly investigated as a matter of priority." Units The sole garrisoned unit, the 1st Battalion, Coldstream Guards, is a light infantry battalion operating as part of the 11th Security Force Assistance Brigade.

Voley Castle

Voley Castle is an Iron Age hill fort situated close to Parracombe in north Devon, England. The fort is situated on a promontory on the eastern side of Heale Down, approximately 230 metres (750 ft) above sea level. It is close to another Iron Age hill fort at Beacon Castle. Voley Castle is a slight univallate hillfort, a rare type of hill fort found mainly in Devon, and is unusual for its type because it has an outer earthwork. Description The site consists of an approximately circular enclosure with an internal diameter of 68 metres (223 ft), surrounded by a bank 12 metres (39 ft) wide and 1.7 metres (5.6 ft) high. Surrounding the bank is an outer ditch, partially filed in, which is 5.4 metres (18 ft) wide and 0.6 metres (2.0 ft) deep. The interior of the site is around 0.4 hectares (1 acre) in area and generally level, with traces of a platform on the west side and a circular depression in the southwest corner. In the south is an entrance to the enclosure with a causeway across the ditch. Outside the bank to the south and west is an outwork, made up of a second bank and ditch up to 65 metres (213 ft) long, with an entrance and causeway across the ditch in line with the main entrance. A modern fence runs north to south across the site just west of the entrance. Classification Voley Castle is a type of hill fort known as a "slight univallate hillfort", which are defined as enclosures between 1 and 10 hectares (2 and 25 acres) in size situated on or close to hilltops with a single line of relatively small earthworks. These date from the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age, and are numerically and geographically rare, being mainly confined to Devon. Voley Castle is unusual for this type of fort because it has an outwork. Purpose Voley Castle is located on a steep east facing slope overlooking the valley of the River Heddon, with uninterrupted views down the valley and north towards the sea. Its location is unusual for a hill fort, because it is on a level shelf around 45 metres (148 ft) below the steeply rising crest of Heale Down hill, meaning that it would be very difficult to defend. Rather than being a fort, it has been suggested that the site likely represents a defended farmstead. The enclosure may have been used for holding cattle or possibly growing crops, and the outwork has been suggested to be a cattle enclosure. There are eight similar sites in Exmoor, but Voley Castle is the only one in an indefensible position. It is very similar to the site at Sweetworthy, in the eastern part of Exmoor in Somerset, in terms of its location, size and appearance. References
The Water Tower, Kenilworth

The Water Tower is a building in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, England. It is understood that the building was constructed as a windmill in the mid-18th century by Joseph Lee of Warwick, described as Gentlemen and John Lamb of Warwick, Haberdasher. There is evidence of a sale in 1778 of the Mill as a going concern. The building continued to be used as a working windmill until 1854 when steam power was introduced. In 1885 the mill machinery was removed and the building converted into a water tower. This involved the doubling of the height of the brickwork and surmounting it with a 26,000-gallon iron tank. This became the town's first Waterworks and provided most of Kenilworth's water supply until 1939. The supply from this tank was in fact in use for auxiliary purposes until approximately 1964. In 1970 Kenilworth Urban District Council, anxious to ensure the preservation of such an important and historic landmark, offered it for sale by tender on condition that it should be sympathetically restored and converted for use as a private dwelling house. Plans submitted by the architect, Mr Edward Byron of Leamington Spa, on behalf of Lt Col Michael Wheat, were accepted and a conversion was commenced in late 1972 and completed in 1974. This imaginative conversion incorporates a new ground floor extension cleverly designed to harmonise with the character. The tower and the whole now forms a unique and comfortable home successfully linking the past with the present. From the upper floors there are magnificent views over the ancient town of Kenilworth with its famous castle and the tower stands within a few hundred yards of the field known as Parliament Piece where it is reputed Simon De Montfort held the first English Parliament in 1264. In 1975 the property won an Architectural Heritage Award from the United Kingdom Council for European Architectural Heritage. The award was signed by Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. A notable tale involving the windmill from the early 19th century is of a brave local, one Jerry O'Hea who showed his fortitude by grabbing a hold of one of the windmill sails. His arm got caught and he was carried round and round until the miller applied the brake. Previous residents include businessman Stephen Drucker known chiefly for his role in running the Druckers Vienna Patisserie chain, and Gordon Cain a historic buildings surveyor who worked as project manager for the St George's Bloomsbury's restoration.

Wogan House

Wogan House is an office building in central London owned by Aberdeen Group. Until 2024 the building was on long-term lease to the BBC, latterly being used to house BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 6 Music. It is located on the junction of Gildea Street and Great Portland Street adjacent to the BBC's headquarters, Broadcasting House. Originally named Western House, on 16 November 2016 the building was renamed Wogan House after the Irish broadcaster Sir Terry Wogan, who had died in January that year, and broadcast his final Wake up to Wogan breakfast show from the building in December 2009. History The building has been used by the BBC since at least 1953. For a long period, the upper floors were occupied by the BBC's Engineering Designs Department, with the ground floor being occupied firstly by a car showroom and latterly being used for the BBC's Recorded Sound Effects Library. During this period, the building became the UK base for the first transatlantic colour television satellite communications. The BBC Engineering Designs Department was restructured in the late 1980s and subsequently vacated Western House in 1987. Following extensive renovation in the early to mid-2000s, its main use from 2006 to 2024 was as the base of BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 6 Music, although it also housed several smaller radio studios for use by other BBC stations as well as a gym, bar and bistro for use by members of the BBC Club and guests. On 2 November 2022, it was announced that the BBC would be moving out of the building, relocating Radio 2 and 6 Music back to BBC Broadcasting House, by spring 2024. The final 6 Music show from the building, hosted by Gideon Coe, was broadcast on 11 February 2024. The final Radio 2 show, and radio show from the building altogether, was hosted by Paul Gambaccini, on 18 February 2024. After reflecting on notable resident DJs of Wogan House, Gambaccini quoted playwright Arthur Miller: "all that's left are memories of voices in the air". The final song played for BBC Radio 2 in the studio was The Floral Dance, sung by the building's namesake, Terry Wogan. Late in 2024, Wogan House received a new life opening up flexible office space.

Wodensborough Ormiston Academy

Wodensborough Ormiston Academy is a mixed secondary school located in Wednesbury in the West Midlands of England. It is located on Hydes Road near the border with West Bromwich, and most of the pupils live in the Friar Park and Hateley Heath areas. The school is sponsored by the Ormiston Academies Trust. Wodensborough High School was formed in September 1968, by the amalgamation of a girls’ grammar school and two secondary modern schools. In September 1990, Wodensborough High School was expanded to take in the youngest two year groups from Hill Top High School in nearby Hill Top, which closed completely two years later. This led to a substantial increase in the school's capacity, as since then it has taken in pupils who would have gone to Hill Top had it remained open. During the specialist schools programme the school gained specialist Technology College status and was renamed Wodensborough Community Technology College. A newly built block was opened in September 2005, aimed at replacing some of the school's ageing teaching areas. It was named the Vernon Building and has facilities for both physical education and sciences such as a gymnasium, dance hall and eight science laboratories. The North Block of the school was closed in December 2010, revamped and extended on, and reopened in December 2011. The South Block was remodelled during 2012 and opened in time for the new term in September. The plans are estimated to have cost around £20 million. The North and South block refurbishment work was done by Interserve, who took ownership of all of the school's buildings from the Local Authority in 2011 upon opening of the North Block. The school was converted to academy status on 1 November 2013, and was renamed Wodensborough Ormiston Academy.
