Highclere railway station

Highclere railway station was a station on the Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway in England. It shares the name of the nearby village of Highclere and Highclere Castle although Highclere station is actually in the village of Burghclere. Facilities The station was very similar to other stations on the line with the standard passing loop, station building and a single siding to the south. To the north of the station the line was crossed on an unusually designed bridge by the A34 road. The site today The road now occupies much of the track-bed to the south of the station, a move that took place when the trunk road became a dual carriageway. The A34 Newbury bypass now occupies the Tothill cutting which carried the line to the north of the station. The station building, goods shed, and signal box still remain to this day.

Highdown Gardens

Highdown Gardens are gardens on the western edge of the town of Worthing, close to the village of Ferring and the National Trust archaeological site Highdown Hill, in West Sussex, England. Overlooking the sea from the South Downs, they contain a collection of rare plants and trees, collectively a national collection. The gardens are owned and maintained by Worthing Borough Council with free admission. Created from a chalk quarry where there was little soil and unfavourable conditions for plant growth, the Chalk Garden at Highdown is the achievement of Sir Frederick Stern (1884–1967) and his wife, who purchased the 8.52 acres (3.45 ha) in 1909 and worked for 50 years to show that plants would grow on chalk. The gardens were created during a period when expeditions were going to China and the Himalayas collecting rare and interesting plants. Many of the original plants from the early collections are in the garden today, particularly plants collected by Reginald Farrer and Ernest Henry Wilson. On the death of Sir Frederick in 1967, aged 83, Lady Stern carried out his wishes and left the gardens to Worthing Borough Council. During spring and early summer there is a succession of flowering bulbs: snowdrops, crocus, anemones and daffodils, followed by paeonies and bearded iris.

Highdown School and Sixth Form Centre

Highdown School and Sixth Form Centre, usually referred to as simply Highdown School, is an academy in Emmer Green on the outskirts of Reading, Berkshire, England. It is part of GLF Schools, a multi-academy trust operating throughout South-East England. The school has a capacity for approximately 1600 students aged 11–18. There are currently 1459 students on roll at the school with 262 students attending the Sixth Form. Highdown School is a non-selective school with provision for Special Education Needs and is a specialist school for maths and computing. Laura Mathews has been the head teacher since January 2025. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2024, rated the school "good". History Grove house, a grade II listed building on the school grounds was built in the 1780s as a small farmhouse for thirty acres of arable farmland. Highdown School was established as a comprehensive school in September 1971. Highdown School has three Grade II listed buildings within its grounds. The main building was altered and extended by Richard Norman Shaw from 1878–80. On 1 November 2010, Highdown School became an independently run academy after being judged outstanding by Ofsted. It was the first school in Berkshire to be awarded academy status. During April 2015 Highdown School was judged as "Good" by Ofsted. On 6 December 2012, the school’s governing body announced that Rachel Cave, formerly a Deputy Headteacher at The Heathland School in Hounslow, would take over the school from Easter 2013, replacing Tim Royle, Headteacher of 13 years. Controversy Former headteacher Timothy Royle was accused of three counts of fraud and one count of theft in a case at Reading Magistrates Court. Royle was accused of falsely reporting how bursary funds were being spent, keeping £7,000 and stealing computers and computer equipment from the school. The ex-headteacher was one of the first appointed National Leaders in Education to advise the Government on education policy who left the school in December 2012. He was cleared of these charges in March 2015. References External links Official website

Costa Juràssica

La costa Juràssica (en anglès: Jurassic Coast) és Patrimoni de la Humanitat, situada a la costa sud d'Anglaterra, al canal de la Mànega. El lloc s'estén des d'Orcombe Point prop d'Exmouth, Devon, a Old Harry Rocks, prop de Swanage, al Dorset est, una distància de 153 km. Aquest lloc va ser designat pel programa de televisió Seven Natural Wonders (Les set meravelles naturals) com una de les meravelles del sud-oest del Regne Unit. Hi passa el sender de la Costa Sud-oest. Geologia La costa Juràssica consta de penya-segats dels períodes Triàsic, Juràssic i Cretaci i documenten 180 milions d'anys de la història geològica. Aquest lloc presenta exemples de geomorfologia, incloent-hi arcs naturals a Durdle Door, coves i plegaments calcaris a Lulworth Cove i una illa, la Isle of Portland. Chesil Beach és un exemple de tómbol i de platja de tempesta (una platja afectada per la gran força de les onades). La paleontòloga Mary Anning, originària d'aquest indret, n'estudià els fòssils al voltant de Lyme Regis i descobrí el primer ictiosaure fòssil complet a The Spittles. Història Durant la Segona Guerra Mundial, diverses seccions de la costa Juràssica van passar a ser propietat del Ministeri de Guerra. Una de les principals bases de la Royal Navy era a Portland Harbour, però actualment està clausurada. La base de Bovington segueix sent utilitzada i grans parts de la costa entre Lulworth Cove i Kimmeridge, incloent-hi la ciutat fantasma de Tyneham, només són parcialment accessibles. Parts de la costa, especialment al voltant de Portland, poden ser perilloses i hi ha hagut molts naufragis. El gener de 2007 el vaixell MSC Napoli, amb 2.400 contenidors, embarrancà a Branscombe prop de Sidmouth, i perdé combustible i la càrrega. Les esllavissades de terra i la caiguda de roques hi han estat corrents. El 6 de maig de 2008, 400 metres de secció de la costa van lliscar cap avall.

Littoral du Dorset et de l'est du Devon

Le littoral du Dorset et de l'est du Devon (surnommé la Côte jurassique) est une région côtière du sud de l'Angleterre délimitée à l'ouest par le point Orcombe près d'Exmouth dans le Devon et à l'est par les Old Harry Rocks près de Swanage dans le Dorset. Cette côte mesure 153 km de long et est constituée principalement de falaises présentant un éventail de sites géologiques couvrant la plus grande partie du Mésozoïque. Le site est inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO depuis 2001 ; c'est le second site au Royaume-Uni inscrit dans la catégorie des sites naturels. L'ensemble de la côte est parcouru par une partie du South West Coast Path, chemin de randonnée bordant les côtes de la région Angleterre du Sud-Ouest. Le nom officiel de ce site en anglais est Dorset and East Devon Coast mais l'appellation Jurassic Coast (« côte jurassique ») est plus fréquemment utilisée. Géologie La côte est constituée de terrain couvrant le Trias, le Jurassique et le Crétacé, à l'exception du Maastrichtien et d'une partie du Campanien, soit une période de près de 180 millions d'années. Les strates les plus anciennes se trouvent à l'ouest, en parcourant la côte vers l'est on peut découvrir des strates de plus en plus récentes. Le site contient plusieurs cas d'école de formation géologique, une arche naturelle, Durdle Door, des anses tel que celle de Lulworth Cove formé par érosion d'une bande de roche dure puis d'une bande de roche plus tendre parallèle à la mer, des plis, des tombolos et des plages formées par des tempêtes, Chesil Beach par exemple. Plusieurs sites forment de bons exemples de littoral concordant (strates parallèles à la côte), et discordant (strates perpendiculaires). Plusieurs portions de la côte sont aussi sujettes à des éboulements, par exemple celui de 1839 à Lyme Regis. Cette côte est une des plus étudiées au monde, des milliers d'articles scientifiques ont été publiés à son propos depuis la naissance de la géologie et de la paléontologie. Le point le plus élevé est à Golden Cap, 191 mètres d'altitude.

Jurska obala

Jurska obala (engleski: Jurassic Coast) je obalno područje kanala La Manche u južnoj Engleskoj u duljini od 153 km od Orcombe Pointa, blizu Exmoutha (Devon) do Old Harry Rocksa, blizu Swanagea (Dorset). Cijelim područjem se proteže staza za pješake South West Coast Path. God. 2001., upisana je na UNESCO-ov popis mjesta svjetske baštine u Europi kao jedinstvena obala koja predstavlja kontinuirani geološki razvoj kroz cijeli mezozoik (trijas, jura i kreda), oko 185 milijuna godina povijesti Zemlje. Lokalitet je pružio brojne svjetski važne nalaze fosila kralježnjaka i bezkralježnjaka, morskih i kontinentalnih životinja koji su dokaz raznolikosti života tijekom mezozoika. Odlike Najstarije stijene su pješčane stijene na zapadu, u East Devonu, iz trijasa (prije 251-200 milijuna godina) kada je cijelo ovo područje bila velika pustinja. West Dorset čine jurske formacije gline i vapnenca koje su nastale naplavljavanjem pustinje prije oko 145 milijuna godina. Prije 100 milijuna godina razina mora je opala i formirao se krajolik tropskog mora. Na istoku Jurske obale, prije 65 milijuna godina (kreda) formirala se najkasnija obala. Lokalitet sadrži sjajne primjere formiranja krajolika poput prirodnog luka Durdle Door, mnogih uvala i vapnenačkih nakupina (Lulworth Cove) i otoka (Otok Portland). Chesil Beach je izvanredan primjer tobola (nakupine tla kojima je otok spojen s kopnom) na olujnoj obali (obala oblikovana snažnim valovima). Zbog raznolikog geološkog sastava, obalu redovito istražuju skupine znanstvenika. Najviša točka Jurske obale je Golden Cap visine 191 m. Paleontologinja Mary Anning je proučavajući fosile na ovoj obali, oko Lyme Regisa, početkom 19. st. pronašla prvi čitav fosil Ichtyosaura, čime je započeo veliki razvoj paleontologije.

Jurassic Coast

Wybrzeże Jurajskie (ang. Jurassic Coast) – fragment północnego wybrzeża kanału La Manche i zarazem południowej linii brzegowej Anglii. Miejsce to znajduje się na liście światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO pod nazwą Dorset i wschodnie wybrzeże Devon (Dorset and East Devon Coast). Położenie Wybrzeże Jurajskie rozciąga się od Orcombe Point w pobliżu Exmouth we wschodniej części hrabstwa Devon aż do Old Harry Rocks w pobliżu Swanage we wschodniej części hrabstwa Dorset. Łączna długość wybrzeża wynosi 153 km. Najwyżej położonym punktem na Wybrzeżu Jurajskim i jednocześnie na całym południowym wybrzeżu Anglii jest Golden Cap o wysokości 191 m. W roku 2001 umieszczone zostało na liście światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO jako drugi obiekt naturalny w Wielkiej Brytanii. Geologia Wybrzeże Jurajskie składa się z klifów będących utworami triasu, jury i kredy z ery mezozoicznej, sprzed 180 milionów lat. Wybrzeże odznacza się bogactwem unikalnych utworów geologicznych, będących przykładem różnorodności form krajobrazowych – np. naturalny łuk przy Durdle Door, utworami z piaskowca, m.in. Lulworth Cove oraz półwysep Isle of Portland. Zważywszy na jakość i wyjątkowość utworów geologicznych Wybrzeże Jurajskie jest przedmiotem badań międzynarodowych. Mary Anning, która badała skamieniałości wokół Lyme Regis, odkryła tutaj na początku XIX w. pierwszą kompletną skamieniałość ichtiozaura. Historia W okresie II wojny światowej kilka odcinków wybrzeża przeszło na własność armii. W Portland umiejscowiono jedną z największych baz Royal Navy, zamkniętą w latach powojennych. Inna baza wojskowa w Bovington jest używana do dziś, w związku z czym znaczna część wybrzeża jest tylko częściowo dostępna dla ruchu turystycznego. Wybrzeże w niektórych swych częściach, zwłaszcza wokół Portland, jest niebezpieczne – zdarzają się tu katastrofy morskie. W styczniu 2007 na wybrzeżu zanotowano najgroźniejszą katastrofę ekologiczną – kontenerowiec "MSC Napoli" o pojemności 2400 ton stracił paliwo i ładunek, doprowadzając do zanieczyszczenia wybrzeża. Turystyka Piękno krajobrazu wybrzeża powoduje, że jest ono popularnym celem turystycznym. Wzdłuż wybrzeża prowadzi południowo-zachodnia część pieszego szlaku turystycznego South West Coast Path. Baza hotelowa znajduje się w takich miastach jak Weymouth, Exmouth, Sidmouth, poza tym działa tu rozwinięta sieć pól namiotowych i kempingów. Centrum informacji turystycznej i obsługi ruchu turystycznego World Heritage Coast Centre znajduje się w Weymouth.
