Lawson Park

Lawson Park is a remote English Lake District hillfarm, leased by Grizedale Arts (a contemporary art commissioner) from Forestry England. It is situated opposite the village of Coniston overlooking Coniston Water, behind Brantwood. A major RIBA Award-winning refurbishment by architects Sutherland Hussey in 2007/8/9 saw the farm transformed into an artists' residency and office base for Grizedale Arts. It now offers live/work residencies to contemporary artists and hosts volunteers, events and conferences periodically. Grizedale Arts director Adam Sutherland has furnished the building with a notable working collection of works by British designers and manufacturers from 1820 to the present day. Circa 15 acres (61,000 m2) of land around Lawson Park is being returned to productive use as a smallholding, and the extensive gardens, designed by artist & film-maker Karen Guthrie, are open to the public regularly. History The farm was first recorded under the ownership of the Cistercian Furness Abbey (Barrow-in-Furness) in the 13th century, when it was used as a base for charcoal-burning. After deforestation of the surrounding land in the late medieval period, the farm was used by a succession of tenant sheep-farmers. In the late 19th century Victorian polymath John Ruskin - who lived in nearby Brantwood - purchased the farmhouse and land. After Ruskin's death the farm was tenanted by various families until the Taylforth family ended farming in the 1950s. The buildings were used as a student hostel until the late 1980s.

Stirchley Chimney

Stirchley Chimney is a chimney located in Telford Town Park. The chimney also marks a notable waypoint on the South Telford Heritage Trail. Measuring 209 feet (64 m) high, construction of the chimney was completed in 1873. History In 1790 Thomas Botfield began the construction of an ironworks on the site, consisting of two blast furnaces, a forge, and a mill. The site was opened in 1828 and later expanded in order to produce bricks in 1838. In 1856, control of the site was granted to the Old Park Iron Company. Following the demise of the Old Park Iron Company, the blast furnaces were leased to the Wellington Iron & Coal Company, yet the company folded shortly after in 1877. It was during this tenure that the Stirchley Chimney was constructed. The blast furnaces continued to operate until 1885 until they were taken over by Wrekin Chemical Works in 1886, when the plant was converted in order to produce tar, sulphur, lime salt, wood naphtha and charcoal. Production at the site ceased in 1932. From 1923 until 1935 the Tarslag company purchased the slag mounds surrounding the chimney in order to use the refuse for the purpose of road building. The Tarmac company continued to remove slag from the site until 1964. Recent restoration The creation of Telford in 1969 led to the purchase of the site by the New Town Development Corporation.The decision was made to retain the Stirchley Chimney as a permanent reminder of the industry which once dominated the area. The chimney and the area around it was recently refurbished following years of neglect. The chimney now boasts information boards explaining its history to visitors. In 2020 work began to repoint the chimney with lime mortar. Work was suspended as a result of the UK Coronavirus lockdown. When the repointing resumed in May 2020 it was discovered that the chimney had become home to a nest of kestrels. References
Lodge Moor camp

Lodge Moor was a British military camp based near Redmires Reservoirs, Sheffield, that was best known for housing prisoners of war during World War II. It held approximately 11,000 at its peak, mostly Germans. It was established in World War I for training purposes. History World War I In World War I, Redmires Camp was set up in the area around Redmires Reservoir as a training camp for the Sheffield City Battalion. Archaeological surveys of nearby training areas, including trench systems dug by the trainee soldiers, were undertaken between 1999 and 2006, but no investigations were made of the camp. When the Sheffield City Battalion went overseas, the camp area was used by other British military units. It subsequently became a prisoner of war camp, with its most famous inmate being the future Admiral Karl Dönitz who had been commanding a U-boat when he was captured on 4 October 1918. Inter-war Period In 1925, a severe outbreak of smallpox meant that nearby Lodge Moor Hospital was unable to house all the patients, and Redmires Camp was used as an auxiliary hospital. It remained in use as such until 1935. World War II At the beginning of World War II the name of Redmires Camp was changed to Lodge Moor Camp, becoming Prisoner of War Camp 17. The camp housed Italian POWs who established a friendly rapport with the locals. As the war progressed they were replaced by German prisoners who endured overcrowding; the International Committee of the Red Cross described the conditions as "insufficient/uninhabitable". A witness suggested there were more than 70 prisoners in huts designed for 30. Others were in tents. The camp in 1948, from Historic England website:- [1] Murder On 24 March 1945, Gerhardt Rettig, a German prisoner of war, was severely beaten by fellow German prisoners of war, and later died of his injuries in hospital. Two men were subsequently tried for his murder and executed. Current condition and uses Many of the concrete bases for the Nissen huts remain, along with remains of toilet blocks and emergency water storage tanks. However, apart from the concrete bases, the area is now overgrown with trees, bracken and brambles, and used mainly by dog walkers. It is signposted as Redmires Camp Plantation and owned by Sheffield City Council. In 1979, a small part of the area was cleared to make a permanent site for Travellers, for which it is still in use. Archaeology students from the University of Sheffield, working with the Sheffield Lakeland Landscape Partnership (SLLP), undertook new searches of the World War II camp remains in the Summer of 2019. In April 2021, visitors to the site reported that Sheffield City Council workers, clearing trees from the site, had damaged concrete bases of the prisoners' accommodation, broke one of the toilet blocks, and crushed the remains of sewage pipes. The site is protected as a Scheduled Monument. References

He recorded burials, exhumations and unusual incidents in copper-plate handwriting from within his office which was also situated inside the lodge. The original part of the cemetery was surrounded a stone wall, topped with iron railings with a double iron gate at the entrance. These structures are extant. A World War I memorial is centrally situated. In the 1930s, the cemetery was rapidly nearing capacity and therefore a new cemetery and crematorium were opened, known as Carleton Crematorium and Cemetery.

Kingsway Hospital

Kingsway Hospital was a mental health facility in Derby, England. History The hospital, which was designed by Benjamin Jacobs using a dual courtyard layout, opened as the Derby Borough Asylum in November 1888. An additional block was completed in 1891, a private annex for fee-paying patients, known as Albany House, was added in 1903 and a nurses' home, known as Bramble House, was completed in 1931. It became Derby Mental Hospital in 1912 and Kingsway Hospital in 1938 before joining the National Health Service in 1948. After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and patient numbers reduced significantly. In the late 1990s eleven men died in unusual circumstances at the hospital: an inquiry led by Sir Richard Rougier found that food and drink had been deliberately withheld. The hospital finally closed in December 2009. Most of the buildings have since been demolished and the site redeveloped by Kier Group as Manor Kingsway. Bramble House, one of the few surviving buildings, was sold for commercial development in 2018. References
Coppice Hospital

The Coppice Hospital was a mental health facility in Mapperley, Nottingham, England.

Asticus Building

The Asticus Building is an architecturally notable building at 21 Palmer Street in the City of Westminster, London. The building was designed by architects Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands with a cylindrical shape on a concrete frame in order to maximise light due to the proximity of nearby buildings. The nearby buildings, rising to up to seven storeys, made the site so difficult that it had remained undeveloped for 25 years despite its prime location. A "blister" structure at the rear in a sheltered corner was used to house core services in order to maximise usable space and avoid an awkward floor layout. The building was completed in 2006. Tenants include The Work Foundation. Outside the entrance is Tim Morgan's steel and glass sculpture Cypher (2004), one of three of that work. In 2016 it was purchased by Axa Investment Managers for £80m. References
Westbury House

Westbury House is a country house south of West Meon Road between East Meon and West Meon in Hampshire, England. The house was built in the Palladian style but rebuilt in brick after a fire in 1904. It subsequently became a boys' preparatory school, whose headmaster until the late 1970s was Errol Adrian 'Sherard' Manners, brother of John Manners. It later became a care home until it closed in the 2016 after being rated inadequate by inspectors. It was once occupied by the Sartoris family and Mary Sartoris was painted by Frederick Leighton. The house is not a listed building, although the ice houses and stables nearby are listed, presumably having escaped destruction in the fire.

Republic (office campus)

Republic is an education and office campus in London, England, situated in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, near Canary Wharf and Canning Town. It sits on the historic site of the East India Docks and is currently occupied as a multi-use innovation campus with both education and office space. History The land occupied by Republic was historically used as the Import Dock of the East India Company. Following the dock's closure in 1967, the site was redeveloped in the 1990s as an office campus providing disaster recovery space for businesses at Canary Wharf. Following the site's acquisition by LaSalle Investment Management in 2016, a large-scale re-branding effort was put in place to position the site as a cultural and business hub for East London. Recognition that businesses were increasingly being "priced-out" of the City of London and tech-capital Shoreditch motivated the site's transformation into an affordable workplace. Signs of the historic past of the area remain, including the original boundary wall to the Import Dock and the naming of offices as The Import and Export buildings. Architecture The buildings were originally constructed in the postmodern style in the 1990s and the shells of these buildings still exist. Whilst plans for the demolition of the buildings and their replacement by residential accommodation were developed by architects 3D Reid in 2015, these were not implemented by developers Trilogy Real Estate who favoured the re-positioning of the site as a "Live, Work, Play" environment. Major renovation works, led by architects Studio RHE, began in 2016 in an attempt to modernise the campus. Extensive landscaping was instigated along existing waterways and plans submitted to construct Europe's longest open-air swimming pool. Internal renovations of the buildings focused on the remodelling of the existing atrium cores with the extensive use of Cross-laminated timber. British artist Scott King designed the building's facade, referencing the socialist Project Cybersyn and pictorial depictions of Utopia. Notable tenants Republic is home to a number of organisations in both the private and public sectors - These include: University of the West of Scotland, York St John University, University of Northampton, Anglia Ruskin University, Tower Hamlets London Borough Council, Vodafone, Co-working space The Trampery and Lebara Transport The campus is served by the East India DLR station by a dedicated entrance providing access to the Transport for London network. Nearby Canary Wharf railway station and Canning Town station facilitates connections to the wider rail network via the Elizabeth line and Jubilee line respectively. London Buses routes D3, 108, 115, N15, N550 and N551 all stop adjacent to the site. Additionally, the site is flanked to the south by the A261 road and to the west by the A102 road providing access to the South of London via the Blackwall Tunnel. References
