Phoenix Garden

The Phoenix Garden is a local community garden in central London, England, established in 1984. Located in St Giles behind the Phoenix Theatre, within the London Borough of Camden, the Phoenix Garden is nestled between the busy Soho and Covent Garden areas. The Garden is located just off St Giles Passage and Stacey Street, north of Shaftesbury Avenue and east of Charing Cross Road. The Garden was set up on a carpark in the 1980s, which had itself been established on a World War II bombsite (the site was bombed in 1940). Prior to this the Garden was the site of many houses, including a pub. The Phoenix Garden has survived various challenges, including a major industrial fly-tipping incident soon after its foundation. It is the only one of the original seven Covent Garden Community Gardens to survive to this day. The Phoenix Garden continues to be run by a committee of volunteers comprising local residents and workers. It is a registered charity (number 287502), and used to be known as the Covent Garden Open Spaces Association (CGOSA). The Garden has won first prize for Best Environmental Garden in the Camden in Bloom competition six times, from 2004 to 2010. It also holds regular social events, including an annual Agricultural Show and volunteering work-days. The garden was under threat of closure in 2016, and was closed for an 18-month renovation. It reopened in 2017 with an event space building designed by Office Sian. The garden is featured in the 2019 film Last Christmas.

Phoenix Heights

Phoenix Heights, also known as 4 Mastmaker Road, is a mixed tenure residential development in the Millwall area of London, near to South Quay DLR station. It forms a social housing commitment developed as part of the nearby Pan Peninsula project. Design Phoenix Heights consists of 199 mixed tenure homes with integral community areas significantly having a high proportion of family homes with access to outdoor space in such a high-density location. The development varies in height from 3 to 23 storeys negotiating an abrupt shift in urban scale from the Barkantine Estate to the West with the emerging Millennium Quarter to the East. Family-sized units are located at the base of the building having direct access to rear gardens, a playground and communal courtyard areas. Smaller sized units are located higher up in the towers enjoying views across London from roof terraces and balconies. A community space was designed as an integral part of the project and incorporates a rooftop sports pitch. The development makes use of a local 'Combined Heat and Power' system and includes greenwalls, bird boxes, bat boxes, insect bricks and biodiversity roofs to help develop local eco-systems. The distinctive skyline and elevations of the building include coloured fibre cement cladding panels, large overhanging canopies and projecting balconies which contrast with the restrained aesthetic of Canary Wharf. Piers Gough described the development as 'humanist architecture of raw funky collage'. The project was designed by Brady Mallalieu Architects and was developed by the Irish property firm Ballymore. The social and shared ownership housing was managed by the housing association One Housing which subsequently acquired the freehold in 2016. The building won a 2010 Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI) award for 'Best Overseas Project' and an Evening Standard Award for 'Best New Development in the Affordable Homes Sector'. The project was shortlisted for 'Best New Place to Live' at the 2009 RTPI London Planning Awards and Best Residential Building of the Year at the 2010 Leaf Awards.

The Telford Langley School

The Telford Langley School is a coeducational secondary school with academy status, located in the Dawley area of Telford in Shropshire, England. Its predecessor, Dawley Modern School, was opened at Pool Hill on 17 September 1956 by Mr George Chetwood, to take children over 11 from four contributory primary schools; there were c. 500 pupils on the roll. By 1965 when comprehensive secondary education was introduced the school was renamed the Phoenix Comprehensive School (its name coming from idea that it 'rose from the ashes' of its predecessor). The number of pupils had risen to 1,159 by 1980. The main hall, canteen, and gymnasium, were destroyed in an arson attack on 29 December 1995. The school was at one point in special measures, but standards have improved to the point where in 2007 the school gained a 'good' Ofsted report. The report noted that GCSE A*-C rates were below the national average but the school was commended for the high amount of progress pupils made between Year 7 and 11. The school converted to academy status on 1 June 2013, and was renamed Phoenix Academy. The school became part of the Telford Co-operative Multi-Academy Trust. The school was moved from Manor Road to Duce Drive at the site of Paddock Mount in September 2013 though the redevelopment of the mount was controversial. In June 2010 a Hollywood-style sign for Dawley was erected on a prominent slope of the mount in protest. The school was placed in special measures again in April 2015, and changed to a new academy sponsor in September 2015, the Community Academies Trust. As a result of the measures, the school was subject to a re-branding which included changes in staff, uniform, and name. In September 2015, the Phoenix Academy was changed to The Telford Langley School. However, the school was removed from special measures in March 2019. In September 2021, additions to the existing school building and the construction of a new building finished. This was done as a part of Telford and Wrekin Council's 'Building Schools for the Future' program which put £200 million into upgrading and expanding existing Secondary Schools in the borough, £31 million of which were put into the school. In July 2022, then-Headteacher Mr Steve Carter retired and Mrs Emma Blount (then-Deputy Headteacher) was appointed as the new Headteacher starting from September of that year.

Phoenix Theatre

Il Phoenix Theatre è un teatro del West End situato nel distretto londinese di Camden, in Inghilterra. Storia Il teatro fu progettato da Sir Giles Gilbert Scott con Cecil Massey e Bertie Crewe per il barone Sidney Bernstein. Il teatro, con una facciata neoclassica, è stato decorato all'interno in stile italianeggiante da Fëdor Komissarževskij. Le pareti del teatro sono decorate con copie di Vladimir Polunin di Tiziano, Tintoretto, Giorgione e Pinturicchio. Il teatro aprì al pubblico il 24 settembre 1930 con la prima londinese della commedia di Noel Coward Vite in privato, con Gertrude Lawrence e Laurence Olivier. Il teatro è stato a lungo associato con l'opera di Coward, che ha festeggiato il suo settantesimo compleanno proprio al Phoenix con una rappresentazione speciale a mezzanotte, mentre il bar del teatro è stato ribattezzato in suo onore. Il teatro ha ospitato le prime di importanti opere teatrali britanniche, tra cui La versione Browning di Terence Rattigan. Nel 1968 un adattamento musicale dei Racconti di Canterbury rimase in cartellone per oltre duemila rappresentazioni, mentre nel 1978 la commedia di Tom Stoppard Night and Day iniziò quelle che si rivelarono essere due anni di repliche. La prima londinese del musical di Stephen Sondheim Into the Woods debuttò nel teatro nel 1991, con un cast che annoverava Imelda Staunton e Julia McKenzie. Dal novembre 1991 al novembre 2012 il teatro fu occupato da una produzione stabile di Blood Brothers, che ottenne un tale successo di pubblico da rimanere in cartellone per ventun anni di repliche. Successivamente, il teatro ha ospitato la prima londinese del musical Once, seguito da allestimenti dei musical Bend it Like Beckham (2015), Guys and Dolls (2016), The Girls (2017), Chicago (2018) e Come from Away (2019-2022).

Phoenix Tower, Chester

Phoenix Tower stands at the northeast corner of the city walls in Chester, England. The tower is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. It has also been known as Newton Tower and King Charles' Tower. History The structure probably originated in the 13th century. During the later part of the 16th century the tower was leased to two city guilds, the Painters and Stationers, and the Barbers and Chandlers, who sublet it to other guilds. By 1612 the fabric of the tower was in a poor condition, and the lead had been lost from its roof. It was restored by the two guilds, and above the door they placed a plaque containing the date 1613 and a carving of a phoenix, the emblem of the Painters. In the Civil War, during the Siege of Chester in 1645, the tower had a gun in each storey, and it was damaged in the conflict. A plaque on the tower states that King Charles I stood on the tower on 24 September 1645 as he watched his soldiers being defeated at the Battle of Rowton Heath. The historian Simon Ward has expressed doubts about this and has suggested that the king may have stood instead on a tower of Chester Cathedral, which he considers is confirmed by evidence that a captain standing beside him was killed by a stray shot. The guilds resumed possession of the tower in 1658, and repaired it. They ceased possession by about 1773, after which the city carried out repairs. However, by 1838, the tower was described as being in a dilapidated condition. By this time, the city was promoting it as a tourist attraction because of its reputed connection with King Charles. In the late 1850s, the lower chamber was being used by a print-seller, and later in the century the tower was made a private museum. Architecture The tower is constructed in red coursed sandstone, with a pyramidal slate roof. It stands about 70 feet (21 m) high and is semicircular in plan. The tower is in four stages, the lower two of which are below the walkway on the wall. Each of the upper stages contains a chamber. At the level of the walkway, in the third stage, is a round-headed doorway. Above the doorway is a plaque dated 1613 containing the carved image of a phoenix. An external stairway leads to the upper storey. Internally, the lower chamber is octagonal in plan, with a diameter of about 30 feet (9 m), and it contains five slit windows. Externally, between the upper two stages, is a string course. In the upper stage is a doorway and four three-light leaded casement windows. The top of the tower has a battlemented parapet, lead hip roofs and an ornate weathervane.

Phoenix United Mine

Phoenix United Mine is a disused 19th century copper and tin mine in Cornwall, England, UK. Heavy metals left over in the soil from the mining operations have allowed mosses and lichens to flourish, and today the site is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), noted for its biological characteristics. All of the land designated as Phoenix United Mine SSSI is owned by the Duchy of Cornwall. History The mine was first worked in 1836 as Cornwall Great United Mines, having previously been mined separately as Clanacombe, Stowes and Wheal Prosper mines. The mine was subsequently bought by James Seccombe in 1842 who renamed it Phoenix Mine/Wheal Phoenix in 1844, finally being called Phoenix United Mine when West Phoenix Mine was incorporated. The mine originally extracted copper, the 1850s being the mine's peak production of the metal, with a work force of 130. By the 1860s the copper reserves were diminishing but consultant mining engineer, William West, bought a controlling share in the company and equipped the mine to extract tin in 1864 after samples showed evidence of tin deposits. By 1865 the work force had expanded to 460, continuing to 600 by the 1870s. It used the Liskeard and Caradon Railway to transport the ore away and supply the mine with coal. With the price of tin and copper slumping, the West Phoenix Mine ceased operation in 1898. The final shaft, the Prince of Wales Shaft, was closed in 1914. Geography The 29.8-hectare (74-acre) SSSI, notified in 1996, is located within the civil parish of Linkinhorne, on the south-eastern edge of Bodmin Moor, 5 miles (8.0 km) north of the town of Liskeard. The SSSI also forms part of Phoenix United Mine and Crow's Nest Special Area of Conservation. Wildlife and ecology The habitat of the site is dominated by presence of heavy metals from the mining operations within the soil. This has restricted the growth of vascular plants and has allowed bryophytes (mosses and liverworts) and lichens to flourish. Phoenix United Mine is important for its rare bryophytes. On the site, on the banks of a metal-rich stream, can be found three nationally rare liverwort species that are listed in the Red Data Book of rare and endangered plant species; these being Cephaloziella integerrima, Cephaloziella massalongi and Cephaloziella nicholsonii. The nationally scarce liverwort, Cephaloziella stellulifera is also present within the mine. Two nationally scarce species of moss, Gymnostomum viridulum and Gymnostomum calcareum, are supported on the site. The mine is one of only two sites in the world where Cornish path moss (Ditrichum cornubicum) grows, the other being Crow's Nest. This moss is a pioneer species of bare or sparsely vegetated, mine-waste laden soils. Greater horseshoe bats (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum) use disused mine adits as a winter roosting site, and other bat species feed on the site. References
Phyllis Court

Phyllis Court is a building that currently houses a private members club, the Phyllis Court Club, and is situated by the River Thames in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, England. The club was founded in 1906 and is located in a Georgian-style building set within its own grounds, close to the town centre. It overlooks the finish line of the Henley Royal Regatta and is also slightly downstream (and on the opposite bank) from Leander Club and upstream of Remenham Club and Upper Thames Rowing Club. There is a rowing club on the river at Phyllis Court, the Phyllis Court Rowing Club, for recreational rowing. History The original building on this site dates from 1301. It was the manor house of Henley-on-Thames and was known as Fillets Court. Queen Anne, the consort of King James I, visited the house in 1604. In 1643, troops loyal to Oliver Cromwell built a wall which still edges the garden near the river. The wall was built with the bricks remaining from the old Manor House which was burned by Royalists. In the mid-17th century, Phillis Court was the home of Sir Bulstrode Whitelocke (1605–1675), parliamentarian and Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, who before his death gave it up to his son William Whitelock, later Tory member of parliament for the University of Oxford. In 1689, William of Orange, on his way to London, held his first court here. Sir William Whitelock died at the house in 1717. The property later belonged to Edward Cooper, who sold Phillis Court to Sambrooke Freeman, the owner of Fawley Court nearby, in 1768. The club was founded in 1906. In 1939, the clubhouse was requisitioned by HM Government for the duration of the Second World War. It was first used as a WAAF Officers' mess for the Central Interpretation Unit at RAF Medmenham. Later it housed a top-secret unit making important photographic mosaics and models of the future Allied landing beaches in France and planning many raids including the "Dambusters". The clubhouse ended the war on a more peaceful note being used by the American Red Cross as a rest centre for war-weary airmen. On 6 November 1998, Queen Elizabeth II visited the club before travelling upriver by boat to open the River and Rowing Museum.

Piccadilly Theatre

Il Piccadilly Theatre è un teatro situato nella città di Westminster, nel West End di Londra. Storia Il teatro fu progettato da Bertie Crewe ed Edward A. Stone per l'impresario Edward Laurillard. Il Piccadilly Theatre aprì al pubblico il 27 aprile 1928 con un allestimento del musical di Jerome Kern Blue Eyes. Il teatro fu brevemente occupato dalla Warner Bros., che lo trasformò in un cinema, prima di essere riportato alla sua funzione originale nel 1929. Il teatro subì gravi danni durante la seconda guerra mondiale, quando fu colpito da una bomba tedesca durante la battaglia d'Inghilterra. Negli anni sessanta e settanta il Piccadilly Theatre consolidò la sua reputazione come teatro d'arte drammatica ospitando le prime britanniche dei capolavori della drammaturgia statunitense come Un tram che si chiama Desiderio e Chi ha paura di Virginia Woolf?. Negli anni 90 ospitò lo Swan Lake di Matthew Bourne, una stagione teatrale del regista Peter Hall e un ampio repertorio che spaziava dalla tragedia (Edoardo II) alla farsa (Rumori fuori scena). Sul palco del Piccadilly si esibirono importanti attori come Henry Fonda, Ian McKellen, Judi Dench, Michael Pennington, Barbara Dickson, Lynn Redgrave e Julia McKenzie. Tra il 2005 e il 2007 la Donmar Warehouse usò il teatro per la sua messa in scena di Guys and Dolls, che si rivelò un grande successo, rimase in cartellone per oltre due anni e nel suo cast si alternarono nomi famosi come Ewan McGregor, Jane Krakowski, Jenna Russell, Adam Cooper, Patrick Swayze. Per i successivi dieci anni il teatro fu occupato principalmente da musical, tra cui allestimenti di grande successo di Grease (2007-2011), Jersey Boys (2014-2017) ed Annie (2018-2019). Dal 2018 il teatro è tornato ad allestire opere di prosa come Lo strano caso del cane ucciso a mezzanotte (2018), The Lehman Trilogy (2019) e Morte di un commesso viaggiatore (2019). Il 6 novembre 2019, durante una rappresentazione del dramma di Arthur Miller, parte del cartongesso del soffitto crollò sulla platea, ferendo quattro spettatori; il teatro rimase chiuso per due giorni. Dal 2020 il teatro è tornato a ospitare musical come Pretty Woman (2020) e Moulin Rouge (2021).

Piccadilly Theatre

Piccadilly Theatre – teatr w Londynie, przy ulicy Denman Street w granicach administracyjnych City of Westminster, zaliczany do teatrów West Endu i należący do Ambassador Theatre Group. Obiekt czerpie swoją nazwę od pobliskiego Piccadilly Circus. Historia Teatr został otwarty 27 kwietnia 1928 roku w budynku, którego architektami byli Bertie Crewe i Edward A. Stone. Widownia liczyła pierwotnie 1395 miejsc, jednak podczas modernizacji w 2006 roku została zmniejszona do 1232 foteli. Już w sierpniu 1928 obiekt został przejęty przez amerykańską wytwórnię filmową Warner Brothers, która urządziła w nim pierwsze w Wielkiej Brytanii kino dysponujące sprzętem niezbędnym do wyświetlania filmów dźwiękowych. W listopadzie 1929 budynek ponownie stał się teatrem. W latach 30. Piccadilly funkcjonowało jako luksusowa restauracja z kabaretem. Budynek doznał poważnych uszkodzeń podczas II wojny światowej, po której został otwarty dopiero na początku lat 50. Od tego czasu - podobnie jak w większości teatrów West Endu - jest tam prezentowany repertuar oparty na musicalach, spektaklach rewiowych i stosunkowo lekkich utworach dramatycznych.

Pickering Castle

Pickering Castle er en motte-and-bailey-fæstning i Pickering, North Yorkshire, England. Det var oprindeligt en tømmerfæstning, der blev opført efter den normanniske erobring af England fra 1069–1070, men den nuværende fæstning blev opført mellem 1180-1187, og keepet blev opført 1216-1236. Den er godt bevaret, og var en af de få borge, der stort set ikke blev påvirket af rosekrigene i 1400-tallet og den engelske borgerkrig i 1600-tallet, hvor mange andre borge blev ødelagt. Det er et Scheduled monument og er åben for offentligheden. Se også Liste over borge og slotte i England Referencer Eksterne henvisninger
