Langley Hall Primary Academy

Langley Hall Primary Academy is a Free School founded at Langley, Berkshire in 2011. It was established in a Grade II listed building under the coalition government's Free Schools initiative. History The building Langley Hall, at the centre of the village, is a Grade II listed building. The oldest parts of the present building date from the 17th century, but the façade was added in the 18th century. In the early 20th century the Hall housed a preparatory school for boys and was known as Langley Place. In 1915 it was taken over by the Actors' Orphanage, which moved to Chertsey in 1938. During World War II it served as a Group Headquarters of RAF Bomber Command. After the war the Hall was used by the Road Research Laboratory. Then in the 1970s it stood derelict for some years and was damaged by fire before serving a variety of purposes. In 1988 it became the home of Langley College, which formed part of East Berkshire College from 1992. The school A need had been identified for 300 new primary school places in Slough by September 2011 and in October 2010 it was announced that these were on track, although the timetable was tight. Mrs Sally Eaton, Educational Director of The Childcare Company, was confident that a scheme for a Free School, which she and her husband Chris had proposed, could meet the DfE's targets. In March 2011 Langley Hall was identified as the site and it was announced that Mrs Jane Sculpher, who had had more than ten years' experience in the field, had been appointed as Head. There would be 225 pupils in the second year and 67 jobs would be created, 30 of them in the first year. There was a plan to create six of the 14 proposed classrooms during the summer. The business plan was signed off by the DfE in April 2011. It would now be possible to appoint staff. In August 2011 it was announced that the scheme was on course and there would be 182 places available in September. Sally Eaton would be Education Director and Chris Eaton would be Finance Manager. The couple had had 25 years' experience in local independent schools and nurseries. The school opened as Langley Hall Primary Academy in September 2011 with 182 pupils aged between 4 and 11. Seven classrooms were in fact ready and there were two reception classes, as well as classes for other years. There was a waiting list of 62. A total of 25 staff had been appointed. In November 2011 the school was officially opened by Sir Christopher Ball. References External links School website. Langley Hall on Langley Village website.
Langley Park School for Girls

Langley Park School for Girls (also known as Langley Park Girls' School, LPGS, or just Langley Girls) is a girls' secondary academy school in Beckenham in the London Borough of Bromley, England, with a mixed-sex sixth form. The school motto is "Ad Rem Mox Nox", which roughly translates as "Time is short, get to work" or more specifically "Get it done before nightfall". In the 1960s, the official translation of the motto was "Work, for the night cometh". History The building at the school's first location (on Lennard Road, Beckenham) was completed in 1914. It was, however, used as a military hospital during World War I. The school itself opened on 28 September 1919 as Beckenham County School for Girls, with 153 pupils aged from 8 years, and 10 teachers. The first headmistress was Miss E.M. Fox. A few years later, an association for ex-pupils was formed, called the Adremian Association. In 1945, the name of the school was changed to The County Grammar School for Girls, and in 1955 to Beckenham Grammar School for Girls. In 1959, the school moved to new buildings in a parkland setting, in Park Langley. The current name "Langley Park School for Girls" was adopted in 1968. In 1976 the school became comprehensive. In 1996 it became a technology college, and in 2000 it became part of the South East England Virtual Education Action Zone. In July 2009, the school celebrated its 50th anniversary during the last week of school in the summer. This included music, dancing and a commemorative event - bringing the Olympic torch into the school. On 1 August 2011, the school gained academy status. Headmistresses/Headmasters Miss E.M.

Langney Priory

Langney Priory is the modern name for Langney Grange (now a private house), which served as an agricultural manor of several hundred acres providing produce for Lewes Priory, a Cluniac monastery. It was established before 1121 in the village of Langney, East Sussex, England, and is a Grade II* listed building. In addition to the five-bedroom house and monastery, the property includes a detached three-bedroom cottage, a large outbuilding with two garages, a workshop, and a storeroom. A planning application for conversion into a hotel and conference venue was submitted in April 2019. In 2020, it was listed for sale at £500,000. In 2022, the priory was added to English Heritage's list of historic buildings at risk due to disrepair and neglect.

Langstone Bridge

Langstone Bridge (also known as Hayling Bridge) connects Hayling Island with the English mainland of Hampshire. The name of the bridge is derived from its location at the coastal village of Langstone. Historically connection was by a causeway known as the Wadeway; this was severed by the construction of the Portsmouth and Arundel Canal. Wadeway The Wadeway or Wade Way is an original and historic causeway to Hayling Island; however, it is now impassable, having been cut in two by a deep channel for the Portsmouth and Chichester Canal in the 1820s. It was classified as a bridleway in 1988, and is shown as such on modern Ordnance Survey maps in spite of its use being considered hazardous at best. Excavation of this feature in 2006, constructed on a natural high point in the harbour, put its date in the Roman to medieval range but found no evidence to be more specific. Wooden bridge The canal company funded a replacement wooden road bridge served by a toll-house situated at the northern end. There was a weight limit and after World War II only single-decker buses were allowed across; if they were carrying too many passengers some had to get out and walk, regardless of the weather, to reduce axle-weight. The old wooden bridge was demolished following construction of a concrete bridge in the late 1950s. The 1956 bridge A replacement concrete bridge opened in 1956, initially still as a toll bridge. The new bridge is owned by Hampshire County Council and was operated without tolls from April 1960. The construction work on the new bridge was carried out by Christiani and Nielsen. Railway bridge A railway bridge was constructed for the Hayling Island branch line in the 1860s. This became disused after the railway's closure and the remains survive to the west of the current bridge. References
Langstone Windmill

It worked in conjunction with a tide mill close by. The mill was derelict in 1934. By 1939 it had been converted to residential accommodation, with the tower tarred and a new cap constructed. The conversion was to a design by Ernst L. Freud with the first resident being Flora Twort. Description Langstone Mill is a four-storey tower mill which shows evidence of having been raised by a storey at some point. It had a hand winded domed cap and the four common sails were carried on a wooden windshaft. References External links Windmill World webpage on Langstone Mill.
Langton Dock

Langton Dock is a dock on the River Mersey, England, and part of the Port of Liverpool. It is situated in the northern dock system in Bootle, connected to Alexandra Dock to the north and Brocklebank Dock to the south. Langton Dock locks provide a working connection to the river; one of the two remaining operational river entrances in the northern dock system. History The dock was built by George Fosbery Lyster, and officially opened along with Alexandra Dock in 1881. The dock had been partially in use since 1879. It was named after William Langton, a member of the dock committee, and a former chairman of the Bank of Liverpool. As originally built, Langton Dock consisted of a basin adjoining the river wall, with a branch dock and two graving docks to the east. Access from the river was initially via Canada Basin. The dock was intended for very large vessels of the time and was used for trading in the Mediterranean. Shipping companies, which used the dock, included Ellerman Lines and John Glynn. Subsequent modifications were made to Langton Dock and the surrounding basins during the twentieth century to improve access. Between 1949 and 1962, this included the construction of the Langton River Entrance, which was eventually opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 14 December 1962, after being delayed by a series of problems. The branch dock and graving docks were filled in, providing parking spaces for vehicles using the former Brocklebank Dock ferry terminal to Belfast, Northern Ireland. On the closure of the Pier Head's Princes Landing Stage, the remaining dock basin was occasionally used as terminal for the start of cruises, accommodating cruise ships. However, since the opening of the Liverpool cruise liner terminal in 2013, Langton Dock has ceased to berth cruise liners. The Langton Dock Pump House is grade II listed and is on the Victorian Society's list of endangered buildings. The Pump House provided hydraulic power for the dock complex, and maintained water levels within the docks. In common with some other Liverpool docks, Langton provided dockside accommodation for employees. An octagonal compound, containing seven separate houses built around a central courtyard, was built close to the narrower lock from Canada Basin into Langton Dock. Named Langton Buildings, it enabled key staff to be on hand at any time. There was also a staff flat upstairs in the Pump House. References Sources McCarron, Ken; Jarvis, Adrian (1992).

Langtons

Langtons House and Langtons Gardens are a grade II listed 18th century house and landscaped gardens located in Hornchurch, in the London Borough of Havering, Greater London. The house and gardens became local authority property in 1929 and are currently used as the borough register office and a public park. Langtons House was used as the council offices of Hornchurch Urban District Council from 1929 to 1965. History The house, built on the foundations of an older house in the early 18th century, stands in a picturesque landscaped garden with a lake, orangery, bath house and a gazebo, all dating from the end of the 18th century, when Hornchurch was a rural settlement. In 1776 Langtons and considerable property in Essex was owned by John Mayor a brewer who became MP for Abingdon and established HM Stationery Office. The house was purchased in 1797 by John Massu, whose family, originally Huguenot refugees, had become wealthy silk merchants in the City of London. He set about modernising Langtons, to which he added the two-storey wings that project on the south front. The grounds were landscaped according to the plans of Humphrey Repton. He created the serpentine pond with the bathhouse and gazebo and planted horse chestnuts to mask or frame the mid-18th century stables, to which he added an octagonal cupola. A shrubbery walk with serpentining paths was planted east of the house and a balancing shrubbery belt to the west is probably part of Repton's plan; the Cedar of Lebanon was planted as a central feature of the lawn. By 1805 the gardens were sufficiently advanced to be illustrated in Peacock's Polite Repository. Langtons was given to Hornchurch Urban District Council by Varco Williams and his daughter in 1929, under the condition that the building must be kept as it was and used for council purposes and that the six acres (24,000 m2) of grounds remain open to the public. The gardens, one of the surviving historic landscapes serve as one of the parks and open spaces in Havering. The Fielders Sports Ground, north of the site, was once also part of the gardens and was used as a venue for first-class cricket. The building housed the council offices until the council was abolished in 1965 and Havering London Borough Council, based in Romford, was created. In 2016 the gardens were extensively restored adding many new features such as a Victorian greenhouse, ornamental bridge, entrance pillars, cobbled stable yard and new tea room. Havering register office Langtons House is used as a register office and function rooms, and has become a popular venue for weddings. Due to an administration error it was found to be unlicensed from October 2004 to March 2005 with 193 marriages affected. Despite the error, all were later found by the High Court to be legally valid. References External links Havering London Borough Council webpage about Langtons

Lansdowne House

Lansdowne House ist ein nur teilweise erhaltenes Herrenhaus aus dem 18. Jahrhundert im Südwesten des Berkeley Square im Stadtzentrum der britischen Hauptstadt London. Es wurde von Robert Adam als privates Stadthaus entworfen und gehörte den größten Teil seiner Nutzungszeit als Wohnhaus der Familie Petty-FitzMaurice, Marquesses of Lansdowne. Seit 1935 residiert dort der Lansdowne Club. Die Aufteilung des Anwesens war sehr ungewöhnlich: Es gab einen großen Vorgarten, der die gesamte Südseite des Platzes einnahm. Das Herrenhaus selbst zeigte mit seiner schmalen Ostfassade auf diesen Vorgarten. Dieses Arrangement eröffnete dem südlich davon am Piccadilly gelegenen Devonshire House freien Blick auf den Berkeley Square. Bekannte Eigner von Lansdowne House waren: John Stuart, 3. Earl of Bute, britischer Premierminister (1762–1763) William Petty, 2. Earl of Shelburne (später 1. Marquess of Lansdowne), britischer Premierminister (1782–1783) William Pitt der Jüngere, britischer Premierminister (1783–1801 und 1804–1806) William Waldorf Astor, 1. Viscount Astor, damals reichster Mann der USA (1891–1893) Archibald Primrose, 5. Earl of Rosebery, Staatsmann der britischen Liberalen und Premierminister (1894–1895) Harry Gordon Selfridge, Gründer des Kaufhauses Selfridges In den 1930er-Jahren beschloss die Stadtverwaltung, eine Verbindungsstraße vom Berkeley Square zur Curzon Street zu bauen. Dies machte den Abriss aller vorderen Räume von Lansdowne House notwendig. Der von Adam entworfene Salon wurde ausgebaut und im Philadelphia Museum of Art ausgestellt, während das Speisezimmer an das Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York ging. Die Sammlerstücke des Hauses, wie die Amazone von Lansdowne und der Hercules von Lansdowne, wurden ebenfalls von US-amerikanischen Museen gekauft. Die Fassade wurde in modifizierter Form vorne an das Rumpfhaus angefügt. Am 1. Mai 1935 eröffnete im Lansdowne House der Lansdowne Club als „gesellschaftlicher und athletischer Anwohner-Club für Mitglieder von gesellschaftlichem Stand“. Später wurde ein großes Geschäftshaus in den Vorgarten am Südende des Berkeley Square gebaut (heute Nr. 55–59). Dieses neue Gebäude erbte den Namen des alten Hauses, während das Haus Fitzmaurice Place Nr. 9 (das Rumpfhaus) noch am alten Standort steht. Seit 2000 wurden die Räume des immer noch dort residierenden Lansdowne Club ausgedehnten Renovierungen unterzogen. Einzelnachweise Weblinks History of Lansdowne Club. Lansdowne Club.

Lansdowne House

Lansdowne House è la parte rimanete di un edificio a sud-ovest di Berkeley Square, nel centro di Londra, costruito nel XVIII secolo. Storia Venne progettata nel 1763 da Robert Adam come casa privata e fu la residenza appartenne alla famiglia Petty-FitzMaurice, marchesi di Lansdowne; ebbe diversi proprietari e, dal 1935, divenne la sede del Lansdowne Club. Il posizionamento della struttura era piuttosto insolita. Aveva un grande giardino frontale che occupava tutto il lato meridionale della piazza, che si affacciava sul lato. Questa disposizione ha dato a Devonshire House, su Piccadilly, un aspetto più aperto alla piazza. Nel 1930, l'amministrazione comunale ha deciso di costruire un collegamento stradale da Berkeley Square a Curzon Street e ciò causò la demolizione della parte frontale dellìedificio. Il salotto progettato da Adam fu rimosso ed esposto al Philadelphia Museum of Art mentre la sala da pranzo al Metropolitan Museum of Art a New York. Le collezioni della casa, sono state acquistate da altri musei americani.

Lark Wood

Lark Wood (grid reference SP104262) is a 1.11-hectare (2.7-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Gloucestershire, notified in 1974. The site is listed in the 'Cotswold District' Local Plan 2001-2011 (on line) as a Key Wildlife Site (KWS). Habitat The site is in the north-east of the Cotswolds, and is a relatively small area of deciduous Oak woodland which is managed to coppice-with-standards. It lies on Inferior Oolite of the Jurassic limestone. Whilst the tree type is mainly Oak, there are some Beech and Sycamore. Shrubs include Hazel and Hawthorn. The ground flora is mostly Bramble, Dog's Mercury and Woodruff. Rarities The site was designated as it supported a large population of Mezereon which is nationally rare. Other uncommon species are Spurge and Butcher's Broom. A Natural England assessment report of March 2012 states that the Mezereum cannot be located, having been declining over several years, and it is considered that the site is no longer suitable for this plant. As a consequence a recommendation has been made for de-notification.
