Electric Ballroom

The Electric Ballroom is a 1,500-capacity performance venue (primarily for rock bands) and indoor market located at 184 Camden High Street in Camden Town, London, England. History The Electric Ballroom started as an Irish ballroom in the 1930s, renamed as Electric Ballroom in the summer of 1978 and owned by Bill Fuller, up until his death in 2008, aged 91. It hosts various events. Venue The two-storey building has two dance floors and four bars. The ground floor has a stage and full concert facilities, with a capacity of 1,500. Stand Up Central (formerly known as Russell Howard's Stand Up Central) is a British stand-up comedy television show in front of a live audience at the Electric Ballroom. MTV Brand New for (2011–2018) is a showcase at Electric Ballroom. The Electric Ballroom was a roller disco for a brief period from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. By 1990, the building had an indoor market on weekends with about fifty stalls, selling a variety of fashion-, lifestyle- and music-related goods. The market closed at short notice in 2015, resulting in unemployment for many staff and traders. The Friday club night is Sin City, playing rock and alternative genres. The Friday club was formerly goth night Full Tilt. On Saturday, "Shake" plays mostly pop and dance from the 1970s, 1980s onwards, as well as modern hip hop and R&B. The Electric Ballroom is the London home for PROGRESS Wrestling, holding events on a regular basis since March 2014. On 15 April 2018, the People's Vote campaign was started there. Camden Town tube station Transport for London proposed to demolish the Electric Ballroom in order to allow the redevelopment of the Camden Town Underground station, but the planning application for the redevelopment was rejected by Camden London Borough Council in 2004. A revised proposal from Transport for London in 2005 to demolish the whole block including the Ballroom, Buck Street Market and the Dr Martens store was rejected by Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott. In 2007 the government declared the Electric Ballroom a dilapidated building, a new argument which allows planning for the extension of the Camden Town tube station to be restarted. A public consultation ended on 22 February 2007. Details, the adoption statement and the adopted planning brief for the Camden Town Underground Station site are on the Camden Council website.

Elemore Hall

Elemore Hall is a mid-18th-century country house, now in use as a residential special school, near Pittington, County Durham, England. It is a Grade I listed building. History The manor of Elemore was owned prior to the Dissolution of the Monasteries by the Priory of Finchale. It was sold to Bertram Anderson, Mayor and Sheriff of Newcastle upon Tyne, who built a manor house in about 1550. The estate passed from Anderson to Hall and then by marriage to Thomas Conyers MP for Durham City 1702-22. In about 1700 Elizabeth Conyers, heiress of the estate, married George Baker, also MP for Durham City, of Crook Hall, near Lanchester. Structure Their son George Baker inherited the manor in 1723 and in about 1750 replaced the old manor house with the present mansion to a design by architect Robert Shout of Hemsley. The house follows the E-plan of the old manor but on a much grander scale. The three storey, seven bayed entrance front has a pedimented three bayed projecting central block and two flanking and projecting pedimented single bay wings. It is a Grade I listed building. Baker family In 1844 Isabella Baker heiress married the son of her aunt and first cousin, Henry Tower. On inheriting the property he changed his name to Henry Baker Baker. He was High Sheriff of Durham in 1854. The Baker Baker family lived at the Hall until the 1930s. School In 1947 the estate was bought or leased to Durham County Council. S.E.D. Wilson, the vice chairman of the Northern Coal Divisional Board, said, "The estate was formerly leased by a colliery company to protect themselves against claims for subsidence ... The Hall is not convenient for use as area headquarters ... but it might be suitable as a school for other educational purposes". The Hall has since then been occupied by a local education authority day and residential special school. In 1992 a new teaching block, designed by Thomas Weatherald of Askrigg, was planned at a cost of £357,546 (equivalent to £788,952 in 2025). In 1959 Elemore Hall School headmaster, Alan Little, was cleared of excessively and publicly injuring a disabled pupil by hitting him with a slipper, in spite of school staff, a senior inspector of the N.S.P.C.C. and two doctors noting "excessive bruises". The defence counsel, Peter Taylor, submitted that, "It is a very odd piece of corporal punishment that doesn't hurt – that is what it is meant to do". The boy, Michael John Paxton, was aged 12 years.

Elgar Birthplace Museum

The Firs in Lower Broadheath, Worcestershire, England was the birthplace of Edward Elgar. The cottage now houses a museum administered by the National Trust. Edward Elgar was born at the house on 2 June 1857, and lived there for the first two years of his life. The museum comprises the Birthplace Cottage and its garden, and the modern Elgar Centre, opened in 2000, which houses further exhibitions and a function room. History and collection William Henry Elgar moved to Worcestershire from Kent in the 1840s, to further his business as a piano tuner. He married Anne Greening, a farmer's daughter from the Forest of Dean. Edward William Elgar, the fourth of their seven children, was born at The Firs on 2 June 1857, and lived here until his family moved to Worcester two years later. The cottage was established as a museum in 1934, on Elgar's death, by his daughter Carice Elgar Blake. The museum houses a broad collection of Elgar memorabilia, including original music manuscripts; letters from and to Elgar, his friends and family; proofs, programmes and other items connected with Elgar's music; family photographs and scrapbooks; items connected with his travels and with his hobbies including golf and cycling; personal possessions, awards and honours, and film of his later years. Low visitor numbers and significant annual operating losses saw the National Trust take over the administration of the museum in 2016. The Trust's administration is supported by the Elgar Society. It has Accredited Museum status from the Arts Council England. In 2018, the majority of the Elgar manuscript archive was moved from The Firs to the British Library, despite local opposition. Architecture, events and facilities The Firs is a Grade II listed building. It comprises the cottage, the Elgar Centre built in 2000 and an adjacent function room. The cottage is constructed of brick and is of two storeys. The coach house and stables were built by Elgar's father, William Elgar, and his uncle, Henry. The museum offers a programme of events throughout the year and annual visitor numbers have risen from around 10,000 to just under 30,000.

Eling Tide Mill

Eling Tide Mill, situated on an artificial causeway in Eling in Hampshire, England, is one of only two remaining operating tide mills in the United Kingdom. The other is Woodbridge Tide Mill in Suffolk. Whilst a mill is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, there is no evidence that there is any connection to the present mill. The current mill was rebuilt roughly two hundred years ago after storm damage in the 1770s. Eling Tide Mill is the focal point of The Eling Tide Mill Experience, created in 2009 as The Eling Experience when the tide mill, nearby Totton & Eling Heritage Centre, and the outdoor walks at Goatee Beach and Bartley Water came under the same management and marketing. The site adopted the current name in 2018 when it reopened after a 3-year refurbishment project largely funded by the Lottery Fund. It is a Grade II* listed building. Operation The tide mill has a pair of independent waterwheels designed to drive two sets of millstones each. One wheel and its associated millstones have been restored to operating condition and produces flour for sale. The other has been cosmetically restored as a static exhibit. The running wheel and its milling and other mechanisms are encased for safety of the miller and visitors, while the static wheel is immobile and kept that way to show visitors the detail that is obscured by the running mechanism's safety enclosures. The mill can be productive for between five and seven hours each day. History For much of the mill's life it was owned by Winchester College. A lease survives from the year 1418, when the College leased the mill to Thomas Mydlington, requiring him to maintain the mill and the causeway. The causeway was prone to collapse, for example it washed away in 1887. This problem continued up until 1940 when modern engineering calculations revealed the cause to be the design of the sluices. This was then corrected. The tenancy of the mill included the right to collect tolls from vehicles using the causeway. Four-wheeled vehicles were charged 6d (2.5p) and two-wheeled vehicles 4d. These rates remained unchanged until 1970. More recently, the toll has been administered by Totton and Eling Town Council, and is charged at £1.00 per day for motorcycles and £2.00 per day for cars and vans. In 1967, the toll collector was Tom Mackrell who had been one of the last people to operate the mill when it closed in 1946. Tom was toll collector and mill foreman, working for his brother Raymond, master miller of Eling Tide Mill. In 1975 the mill was sold to New Forest District Council by Winchester College for a nominal sum. It then underwent restoration before reopening in 1980 and is now run as the "Eling Tide Mill Experience." References External links Former website "Eling Tide Mill".

The O2 Arena

The O2 Arena višenamjenski je stadion zatvorenog tipa na Poluotoku Greenwichu u jugoistočnom dijelu Londona. Gradnja je započela 2003., a otvoren je 2007. Po broju sjedećih mjesta drugi je po veličini u Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu (nakon Manchester Arene), a 2008. bio je najprometnija koncertna dvorana na svijetu. Izgrađen je ispod nekadašnjeg Millennium Domea, velike kupolaste zgrade izgrađene za izložbu koja slavi početak trećeg tisućljeća. Budući da se kupola još uvijek nalazi iznad stadiona, arenu se i dalje uglavnom naziva The Dome. Arena, pa tako i cjelokupni kompleks O2, nazvana je po glavnom sponzoru, telekomunikacijskoj tvrtki O2. Povijest Događaji Prodaja ulaznica Iako je 2007. bio otvoren samo 200 dana (otprilike sedam mjeseci), za taj je stadion te godine prodano gotovo 1,2 milijuna ulaznica, zbog čega je postao treći najpopularniji stadion za održavanje koncerata i predstava za obitelj (iza Manchester Arene (1,25 milijuna) i Madison Square Gardena u New Yorku (1,23 milijuna)). Do 2020. The O2 Arena i dalje je najprometnija glazbena dvorana na svijetu po prodaji ulaznica. Nagrade 2016. Pollstarova nagrada za međunarodnu dvoranu 2016.
