Glandford Watermill

Glandford watermill is situated on the River Glaven a little north of the village of Glandford within the English county of Norfolk. Glandford is in the civil parish of Wiveton within the district of North Norfolk. Description This watermill was built in 1907 but there had been a mill here long before this date. The map produced by Faden's in 1797 records a mill at "Glanford" on the river Glaven. The present mill is constructed with Norfolk red brick and flints that had been taken from a local gravel pit on the eastern side of the Glaven valley above Glandford. The roof is of Norfolk red pantiles. The mill stands over three story plus a loft. The mill pond is situated to the south of the mill. History The first recorded miller at Glandford was William Cook in 1819. A letter written by him in 1824 records that the tides running up the Glaven from the nearby coast would pass through the water wheel into the mill dam beyond. This happened virtually daily until 1823, and in earlier times it is probable that in times of high tides, sea water came in as far as Bayfield. When the present mill was first built in 1907, it was owned by Sir Alfred Jodrell who lived at Bayfield Hall. He is recorded as keeping the watermill well maintained. The mill finally ceased operation some time around the Second World War. In 1969 the mill was sold, and by then the waterwheel had been removed. The mill building was used as a farm store. The watermill has since been converted into a residence and in 1971 was also used in the running of a fish-farming business. References
Glanford Brigg Power Station

Glanford Brigg Power Station (also known as Brigg Power Station) is a gas-fired power station in North Lincolnshire, England. It is capable of firing diesel as a substitute of natural gas. It is situated on the River Ancholme, beside the Sheffield to Cleethorpes via Brigg Line, outside the town of Brigg, with its name coming from the former name for the town. It has a generating capacity of 240 megawatts (MW). Opened in 1993, the station was originally operated by Finnish company Fortum. It is now operated by Centrica. There are currently plans to build a straw fuelled renewable energy plant alongside the station. History Construction of the power station started in late 1991. It was opened in December 1993. It was built just south of a former British Sugar sugar beet factory, which is the planned location of Brigg Renewable Energy Plant, by European Gas Turbines (EGT), which was a division of GEC Alsthom. GEC Alsthom won the £90m contract in March 1991. Initially, it was owned by Yorkshire Electricity, but operated by a Finnish company, Fortum, under the name Regional Power Generators Ltd. RPG was a joint venture between Yorkshire Electricity and Newcastle upon Tyne-based Berisford Bristar. YE took 75% control in January 1991, with Total Gas Marketing owning the rest. The gas was supplied by British Gas. In 2000 it was bought by Fortum. In June 2002 the plant was bought by Centrica for £37 million. The operating company is known as Centrica Brigg Ltd. Operations Glanford Brigg power station is a natural gas fuelled, combined cycle gas turbine power station with four gas turbines, four Stein Industrie heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs), and two 40 MW GEC Alsthom steam turbines, divided into two modules. It can produce 240 MW of base load electricity and 272 MW at peak load, from a thermal input of around 515 MW. In the event of interruption of main fuel supply, it can burn diesel instead. It can run at a maximum thermal efficiency of 46.8% when on constant running; the actual efficiency depends on factors in the local weather conditions such as temperature and humidity. It is used to fulfill peak load requirements from the National Grid, as the electricity output can be decreased when demand is less. Each gas turbine and both steam turbines are connected to a 40 MW electrical generator (alternator). The station's four flue gas stacks are 70 m (230 ft) high. The gas turbines are a General Electric Frame 6 MS6001B type, producing 39.16 MW at 31.6% thermal efficiency. They rotate at 5,135 revolutions per minute (rpm), and are connected via a gearbox to the electrical generator revolving at 3,000 rpm. Exhaust gas reaches the steam generator at 541 °C. The gas turbine electrical generators are rated at 50.2 MVA, with a terminal voltage of 11 kilovolts (kV). The electricity enters the National Grid via a transformer at 132 kV. The station falls within the supply area formerly ran by Yorkshire Electricity, with distribution currently run by Northern Powergrid. The site employs thirty six people.

Gleaston Castle

Gleaston Castle er en middelalderborg i en dal omkring 1 km nordøst for landsbyen Gleaston. Landsbyen ligger mellem byerne Ulverston og Barrow-in-Furness på Furness-halvøen i Cumbria, England. Gleaston Castle har fire plan med et tårn i hvert hjørne. Den største af disse, det nordvestlige tårn, indeholdt sandsynligvis slottets storsal. Borgen blev sandsynligvis bygget til John Harington, 1. Baron Harington i i 1300-tallet, hvor den erstattede den nærliggende Aldingham Motte. Gleaston Castle gik i arv i Harrington-familien indtil 1458, hvor den kom i William Bonvilles eje igennem et ægteskab, og den blev efterfølgende forladt. Borgen endte i Grey-familien indtil Henry Grey, 1. hertug af Suffolk blev henrettet for forræderi i 1554. Tronen overtog herefter borgen indtil den blev købt af Preston-familien i 1600-tallet, og den overgik siden til Cavendish-familien. Da borgen ikke har været i brug siden 1400-tallet har den fået lov at forfalde. Antikvariske afbildninger fra 1700-tallet viser at Gleaston var en ruin på dette tidspunkt. I dag er den åben for offentligheden, og i både 1800- og 1900-tallet har den været udsat for historisk- og arkæologiske undersøgelser.

Glemham Hall

Glemham Hall or Little Glemham Hall is an Elizabethan and Georgian country house, set in around 300 acres (120 ha) of park land on the outskirts of the village of Little Glemham in Suffolk, England. It is a Grade I listed building. History It was built around 1560 by the De Glemham family for Sir Henry Glemham. It was purchased by Francis North, 2nd Baron Guilford of the North family in 1709, whose uncle Dudley North had earlier purchased the lordship of the manor of Little Glemham and Banyards; and between 1712 and 1720 major structural changes were made to the facade, giving it the overall Georgian appearance recognised today. In 1791 Humphry Repton produced plans for the park; he commented on the H-shaped house in his works. At that time the owner was Dudley Long North. North was a politician and also a patron of George Crabbe, who held benefices at Parham and Great Glemham, and Crabbe met Charles James Fox and Roger Wilbraham at (Little) Glemham Hall; Crabbe lived at Great Glemham Hall, a different property owned by North not far away, for some years from 1796. In the latter part of the 19th century the Hall was the residence of the MP Alexander George Dickson. It was purchased by the Cobbold family in 1923 in whose hands it has remained ever since. It was offered for sale with Strutt & Parker in 2024, for £19,000,000. Openings It is today used mostly for corporate and social occasions. It is open to the general public 28 days of the year or by a private booking for a guided tour of the house by a member of the Cobbold family. The tour showcases much of the family history, changes to the house and many Ipswich Town Football Club memorabilia. The gardens are opened separately on selected days throughout the summer. In 2013, The FolkEast Festival began to be held on the parkland at Glemham Hall every August, attracting international acoustic, folk and roots musicians, whilst also championing local businesses, heritage and crafts.

Glenkerry House

Glenkerry House is a Grade II listed housing block on the Brownfield Estate in Poplar, London, England, designed by the studio of the controversial Brutalist architect Ernő Goldfinger and finished in 1977. 14 storeys high, it stands in proximity to and complements the appearance of Balfron Tower and Carradale House, which were designed by Goldfinger himself and are now Grade II* and Grade II listed respectively. There are four four-bedroom maisonettes on the ground floor, 18 one-bedroom, 45 two-bedroom and 12 three-bedroom flats; 79 flats in all. Its design and construction have proved to be of better quality than many other post-war high-rise blocks. Since 1979 it has been run as a self-managed co-operative housing association and registered social landlord (RSL). Glenkerry Co-operative Housing Association (GCHA/GK) bought a 99-year lease from the Greater London Secondary Housing Association, partly funded by grants from the Housing Corporation and the Greater London Council, and raised about a third of the cost from sales to residents (members). The GLC also provided a loan for the remainder of the cost, which has now been repaid. The freehold is now owned by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Members buy and sell the leaseholds of their homes at half the valuation, as assessed by the District Valuer. The building is managed by a committee of its members, and research on housing co-ops in 1983 concluded that it was exceptionally well-run. Because this form of co-operative ownership does not allow the residents to increase their share and become full owner-occupiers, the Conservative government of the day did not give support to the model. Nevertheless, it is now widely regarded as a model for home ownership co-operatives, as it provides equity stakes that allow members to benefit from gains in the housing market, while locking in the subsidy so that the homes remain affordable to new members.

Stockton Globe

The Globe (formerly ABC Theatre) is a Grade II listed Art Deco theatre, in Stockton-on-Tees, England. History Situated at the north-western end of High Street, the original Globe Theatre was built in 1913 and was the area's first purpose-built cinema. Demolished in 1925, it was first rebuilt in 1926, when it showed the area's first talkies. It was rebuilt again, still on the same site in 1935, designed as a leading variety theatre but also including cinema facilities and seating for 2,372 people. The Globe regularly hosted stage shows with national companies. In 1938, it became an ABC cinema but live performances continued including an annual pantomime, ballet and West End shows. From the 1950s to the 1970s the ABC Theatre was a premier venue hosting many famous acts, such as Buddy Holly, the Platters, Guy Mitchell, the Animals, Cilla Black, Carl Perkins and Chuck Berry. The Beatles twice played at the venue, the first time being Friday 22 November 1963, the day U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. The Rolling Stones performed at ABC Theatre multiple times, including two shows with Ike & Tina Turner and The Yardbirds in 1966. The venue has hosted other stars, such as Cliff Richard, the Shadows and Lonnie Donegan, who made their acting debuts here in pantomime. Cliff Richard and the Shadows composed their "Stars Fell on Stockton" (B-side to "Wonderful Land") here and much of the music for the Cliff Richard film Summer Holiday whilst taking part in pantomime at the Globe. As late as the 1970s, bands such as Mud, Showaddywaddy and the Bay City Rollers played here. Whilst the theatre played host to these famous bands, it was also a cinema and showed the very first 3D film in the region, House of Wax in 1953. The last film was The Sting, on 15 June 1974. Status Quo were the final rock band to play there in December 1974, but the very last show was on 5 February 1975 when the London Philharmonic Orchestra staged a concert. The doors of the Globe closed only to re-open as a bingo venue for a few years until closing for good in 1997. Reopening Many of the original ornamental features have survived and the Theatres Trust described the Grade II-listed building as "an excellent example of its kind" and had it as one of 68 buildings on its 'at risk' register. There had been several plans to reopen the venue in recent years, including a plan in 2002 to transform it into a nightclub, but none was realised until it was announced in 2010 that the building would be restored to its former glory at a cost of £4 million, and will reopen as venue for music, comedy and other events. Despite multiple delays due to structural problems and the original budget ballooning to £27.9 million, the theatre reopened in 2021. Pop band McFly were the first act to perform on the Globe's stage since 1975. References
Globe Works, Accrington

The Globe Works is a former industrial works in Accrington, Lancashire, England, that following refurbishment contains rented offices and conference rooms and is known as the Globe Centre. The centre is made up of the remainder of The Globe Works, which created machinery and looms for the cotton industry under management of the Howard & Bullough firm. The Globe Works 1853–1993 The Globe Works was formed in 1853 by two men from Bury, Mr Howard and Mr Bleakley. The works manufactured machinery and parts for supply to Lancashire’s textile industry and across the world. The staff initially consisted of four workers. In 1856, co-founder Mr. Bleakly retired and was replaced by inventor James Bullough, who was responsible for the creation of the Lancashire Loom alongside William Kenworthy. The Globe Works employed 150 people at this time. Under Bullough's guidance, The Globe Works concentrated its manufacturing efforts on the production of looms. The number of staff at the Globe Works had doubled by 1864. Following his father’s death in 1866, John Bullough took over The Globe Works at age 29. John's son George took over the Globe Works when his father died in 1891. George initially joined the works as an apprentice, then saw his annual income rise to over £300,000. In 1920 the Globe Works was the world’s largest producer of ring spinning frames. During the 1920s Howard and Bullough employed over 6,000 people from Accrington and the surrounding areas. The Globe Works was 52 acres in size. During World War II, production was dedicated to weapon components for the war effort. George died in 1939. The Howard and Bullough business was bought by Platt International in 1970, who continued to operate in the Globe Works. The Globe Works closed its doors for business in 1993. The Globe Centre 2006–present Today the sole remaining building from the Globe Works has been renamed The Globe Centre. The office accommodation centre includes tenants such as Regenerate Pennine Lancashire, the Lancashire County Council and BT partnership One Connect The site gives employment to around 1,000 people and training to over 125 young people each year.
