Museu Imperial da Guerra

O Museu Imperial da Guerra é um museu britânico, localizado em Londres e fundado em 1917 em memória das guerras em que esteve envolvido o Império Britânico, das quais guarda milhares de artefatos como veículos militares, armas de todos os tipos, aviões de combate, livros, fotografias, documentos, vestuário e uma coleção de arte do século XX e anteriores dedicada à guerra. O museu é parcialmente subvencionado pelo governo, mas também recebe financiamentos da iniciativa privada. Fundado ainda durante a I Guerra Mundial em homenagem àqueles que haviam morrido na guerra e aos que ainda lutavam, ocupa hoje a sua segunda sede no borough de Lambeth, onde antes funcionava o Hospital Real de Bethlem, construído em estilo clássico, depois que um incêndio destruiu sua sede original em 1936. A partir dos anos 70, o Museu Imperial da Guerra começou a expandir para outros lugares. A primeira ramificação, o Imperial War Museum Duxford, abriu as portas em junho de 1976. O HMS Belfast tornou-se uma extensão do museu em 1978. O Cabinet War Rooms abriu em 1984, e o Imperial War Museum North em 2002. Atualmente muitos o considera como a versão britânica do Museu do Homem em comparação do seu nível de etnocentrismo. As visitas ao museu, o maior do mundo dedicado apenas à memorabilia de guerras, tem entrada gratuita (a exceção de mostras especiais) e pode ser visitado diariamente entre 10 e 18 h.

Имперский военный музей

Имперский военный музей (англ. Imperial War Museum) — музей в Лондоне, в районе Ламбет. В его коллекцию входит военная техника, оружие, вещи военных лет, публичная библиотека, фотографический архив и художественная коллекция, посвящённые вооружённым конфликтам, начиная с Первой мировой войны вплоть до наших дней, особенно тем, в которых участвовали Соединённое Королевство, Британская империя и Содружество. История В разгар Первой мировой войны, весной 1917 года, британское Правительство военного времени приняло решение об учреждении Национального военного музея и начале сбора экспонатов для экспозиции. Специально созданный комитет приступил к сбору материалов, иллюстрировавших участие Великобритании в войне и затрагивавших такие области, как армия, флот, производство оружия и боеприпасов, а также женский труд в тылу. В декабре 1917 года название музея было изменено на «Имперский военный музей». Музей был открыт королём Великобритании Георгом V 9 июня 1920 года в Хрустальном дворце. В 1924 году музей переехал в здание Имперского института в Южном Кенсингтоне (в 1950-х и 1960-х годов здание было разрушено для осуществления прохода к Имперскому колледжу). Это здание находилось в центре города рядом с другими крупными музеями, но оно было тесным и не подходило для размещения коллекции. И, наконец, в 1936 году для музея было найдено здание бывшей Королевской психиатрической больницы к югу от Темзы. Строение планировалось разрушить и разбить на его месте парк, но размещение в нём Имперского военного музея спасло историческое здание, а музей получил подходящие площади для размещения своей коллекции. Музей начал собирать материалы, посвященные Второй мировой войне сразу после её начала в 1939 году. В 1940 году музей был закрыт, а 31 января 1941 года он был поражен прямым попаданием немецкой бомбы, и часть коллекции была сильно повреждена. Вновь экспозицию музея открывали по частям, начиная с 1946 года. На сегодняшний день музей располагает большой коллекцией военной техники со времен Первой мировой войны и до наших дней. Множество тематических экспозиций посвящены истории военных конфликтов в разных странах мира. Музей имеет своей целью не только показать посетителям оружие и военную технику, но и дать людям информацию о современной войне и её влиянии на личность и общество. Филиалы музея Имперский военный музей в Даксфорде (англ. Imperial War Museum Duxford) — крупнейший в Великобритании авиационный музей. Находится недалеко от Кембриджа. Крейсер «Белфаст» (англ. HMS Belfast) — корабль Королевского флота, принимавший участие во Второй мировой войне. Находится постоянно на стоянке в центре Лондона на реке Темзе, возле Тауэрского моста. Военные комнаты Черчилля — подземный комплекс командного центра Правительства Великобритании во время Второй мировой войны. Находятся в центре Лондона. Имперский военный музей «Север» — самый последний филиал, открытый в 2002 году в Манчестере.

Shirburn Castle

Shirburn Castle er en middelalderborg, der ligger i landsbyen Shirburn nær Watlington, Oxfordshire, Enland. Den blev oprindeligt opført i 1300-tallet, men blev renoveret og ombygget i georgiansk tid i 1700-tallet af den første jarl af Macclesfield, der gjorde det til sin families hovedsæde. Det blev ændret yderligere i 1800-tallet. Jarlerne af Macclesfield boede her indtil 2004, og borgen er stadig i Macclesfield-familiens eje. Shirburn Castle har haft et vigtigt bibliotek fra 1700-tallet samt adskillige værdifulde malerier under den 9. jarl, men det blev solgt og spredt på auktion i forbindelse med hans afgang fra ejendommen. Blandt dem var George Stubbss maleri Brood Mares and Foals (1768), der satte rekord i forhold til salgspris for kunstneren ved en auktion i 2010, og Macclesfield Psalter samt personlig korrespondance med Sir Isaac Newton. Det er en listed building af første grad. Se også Liste over borge og slotte i England Referencer Eksterne henvisninger
Shirburn Castle

Shirburn Castle ist ein Landhaus und eine frühere Burg im Dorf Shirburn, etwa 10 km südlich des Marktes Thame in der englischen Grafschaft Oxfordshire. Die Burg aus dem 14. Jahrhundert war der Sitz der Earls of Macclesfield. Geschichte Die Burg entwarf vermutlich Henry Yevele für Warin de Lisle im Jahre 1377. 1716 kaufte sie Thomas Parker, 1. Earl of Macclesfield, ließ sie umbauen und richtete eine große Bibliothek ein. Sein Sohn, George Parker, 2. Earl of Macclesfield (ca. 1695–1764), ein berühmter Astronom, machte die meisten seiner astronomischen Beobachtungen auf Shirburn Castle. Er ließ ein Observatorium und ein chemisches Labor einbauen, die er ab 1740 nutzte. 1761 beobachtete der Astronom Thomas Hornsby den Venustransit vom Gelände von Shirburn Castle aus. Allerdings wurde das Observatorium später abgerissen. Um 1830 wurde die Burg zu einem Landhaus umgebaut. Es wurden ein Salon und eine Bibliothek auf der Nordseite angebaut und die alte Bibliothek in einen Billardraum umgebaut. Das alte Speisezimmer auf der Ostseite wurden zu einem Schlaf- und Ankleideraum. 1873 wurde im Nordwestturm ein Raucherzimmer eingerichtet. Das Macclesfield Psalter wurde 2004 in Shirburn Castle entdeckt, als der Inhalt der Bibliothek für eine Auktion katalogisiert wurde. Heute gehört das Anwesen der Beechwood Estates Company, die die Ländereien der Earls of Macclesfield verwaltet. Nach einer langen, bitteren Schlacht vor Gericht wurde Richard Parker, 9. Earl of Macclesfield Ende 2004 des Familiensitzes verwiesen. Bau Die Burg hat einen quadratischen Grundriss und vier runde Ecktürme. Sie ist aus Ziegeln erbaut und gehört damit zu den frühesten Ziegelbauten in Oxfordshire. Die Mitte der Westfassade, ein hoher Eingangsturm, ist mit Kreide und Kalkstein verkleidet. Er wird von ursprünglich zweistöckigen Seitenflügeln flankiert, die im 18. Jahrhundert auf drei Stockwerke aufgestockt wurden. Eine Zugbrücke führt zur Eingangstreppe aus dem 19. Jahrhundert. Ursprünglich wurde die Burg im frühen Perpendicular-Stil (englische Gotik) erstellt. Später wurde sie im georgianischen Stil umgestaltet. Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts erfolgte dann eine erneute Umgestaltung im Stil der Neugotik. In Fernsehen Shirburn Castle diente als Sitz der Familie Balcombe in der Episode „Happy Families“ der Fernsehserie Inspektor Morse, Mordkommission Oxford. Dort wurden die Außenaufnahmen gedreht. Außerdem war das Anwesen als Midsomer Priory in der Fernsehserie Inspector Barnaby zu sehen. Einzelnachweise Literatur Nikolaus Pevsner: Buildings of England.

Shire Brook Valley Local Nature Reserve

The Shire Brook Valley Local Nature Reserve is located in Sheffield, England, on a former brownfield industrial site. Development The Local Nature Reserve was designated in 1999 and extends over an area of approximately 100 hectares. It is based around the former site of the Coisley Hill Sewage Works which closed in the early 1990s. The manager's office has been converted into a visitors' centre. The reserve includes Beighton Marsh, an area of reed-grass swamp situated at its eastern end, which supports birds such as reed bunting, grasshopper warbler and barn owl, as well as mammals such as the harvest mouse and water vole. The Birley Spa Bath House, a Grade II listed building, was restored with a Heritage Lottery Fund grant in 2001. Also within the reserve is Wickfield Plantation, one of the few remaining areas of lowland heath and coppiced oak woodland inside Sheffield. The reserve contains Carr Forge Dam which is fed by a stream from Birley Spa and is a location for wildlife. New ponds were created in the same area to mark the centenary of the City of Sheffield. The Centenary Ponds were opened by Clive Betts on 18 June 1993. Further ponds were created in 2016 to encourage amphibians. Also added to the eastern side of the reserve is a landscaped former landfill site, called Linley Bank Meadow, now home to skylarks and a likely location for soaring buzzards. The reserve is popular with cyclists and walkers, having a network of paths and the Transpennine Trail running through is used by a running club, for orienteering events, geocaching, company team-building days, school visits etc. The reserve has a car-park accessed from Stone Lane. Fishing is banned on the site as most access points involve walking under pylons which has resulted in fishing rods conducting electricity and burning anglers. After one bad accident in 2004, the council took the unusual step of removing all the fish from the site to deter anglers. This decision was criticised by the Countryside Alliance. Carr Forge Dam Carr Forge Dam is a dam located in the centre of the reserve. The dam dates back to the Tudor dynasty, and most of the brickwork still remains. The dam is now mainly used as a wildlife pond, with toads, frogs and other species including the endangered Great Crested Newt breeding in the marshes. Shirebrook Heritage Group The Shirebrook Heritage Group was established in 1999 to maintain the Valley and its visitor's centre. They run a Park Ranger programme and hold regular meetings within the Birley Spa bath house and the visitor's centre itself. Shire Brook Valley Conservation Group Volunteers formed the group in 1989 and have been at the forefront in carrying out habitat conservation work on the nature reserve on a weekly/monthly basis, meeting on Wednesday and Saturday mornings.

Shoalstone Pool

Shoalstone Pool is a sea-water swimming pool or lido on Shoalstone Beach, Brixham, Devon. Description This pool is the English Riviera's only open air 50m sea-water swimming pool. The pool is used by local families and schools in the area. There are excellent views across Torbay at high tide. The swimming season is May–September during which it has lifeguards on duty from 10am to 6pm. There is no charge for swimming. The pool is managed by Shoalstone Pool CIO and supported by the Friends of Shoalstone Pool. Shoalstone Pool is an outdoor 53 metre sea water swimming pool situated in a stunning position on Brixham sea front. The pool is one of only a few left in the country. The pool is funded from donations, grants, fund-raising, sponsorship, advertising on site, car park revenue and the hire charges for beach huts and beach furniture. Shoalstone Pool is much used by local people and is very popular with tourists. The number of visitors per year depends upon the weather but several thousand people use the pool each year, mainly, of course, between May and September. The pool is also available for hire to clubs and for parties. History Shoalstone Pool is built into a natural rock pool that in Victorian times was popular for bathing. As a salt water pool, there is an abundant supply of water; however in 1896 two walls were built to retain the tidal water that flooded in. In 2004 Torbay Council could no longer afford to support the pool. A public meeting was convened and a decision taken to create a working party to look at keeping the pool open. This subsequently became “The Friends of Shoalstone Pool” who worked with Torbay Council to maintain the pool thus reducing the cost to Torbay Council. When setting its budget in 2014 Torbay Council drew up plans to close Shoalstone Pool. Following prolonged negotiations Brixham Town Council (“BTC”) entered into a lease under which Torbay Council leases Shoalstone Pool, together with the land and buildings surrounding the pool to BTC. Torbay Council remains the freeholder. Shoalstone Pool is managed on behalf of BTC by Shoalstone Pool CIO. References External links Lidos in the UK Friends of Shoalstone Pool

Additionally, they noted that "proportion of students supported by the pupil premium is above average. This additional funding is for students who are known to be eligible for free school meals, in local authority care, or from a family with a parent in the armed forces. The proportion of disabled students and those who have special educational needs supported at school action is below average, but the proportion supported at school action plus or through a statement of special educational needs is above average." Ofsted Shoeburyness High School was regarded as "Good with outstanding features" by Ofsted in 2013. As of 2022, its most recent inspection was in 2017, when it was again judged Good. Rats In late 2019, rats were found at the school. This sent shockwaves through the community, and Shoeburyness High School was featured in multiple news outlets up and down the country as a result. The rats were spotted in the toilets, and it is believed they were using the school as a feasting ground, picking up any crumbs dropped by children during the day. There were also odd smells present around the school, as the school made an attempt to clear the air vents of the rats. The rats remain there to this day.
