Streatham Ice and Leisure Centre

Streatham Ice and Leisure Centre is an ice rink and leisure centre in Streatham, south London. It is the only Olympic-sized skating rink in the city, and is the home ice of the Streatham IHC and Streatham Storm ice hockey teams. It replaced the older Streatham Ice Arena. Streatham Ice Arena Streatham Ice Arena was originally opened on the site on 26 February 1931 by the Mayor of Wandsworth, Lt Col. A. Bellamy, and the Member of Parliament for Streatham, Sir William Lane-Mitchell. During the Second World War, the arena was closed to the public and was used as a food storage centre. In 1962, the arena was purchased by the Mecca entertainments company, who spent almost £350,000 on various improvements including a restaurant and cocktail bar, and renamed the rink as Silver Blades, it being one of several in a chain of Silver Blades ice rinks that the company operated in the UK. A further £1 million was spent refurbishing the rink in 1980. However, by the end of the twentieth century the building was proving very expensive to maintain and it had begun to fall into disrepair. During its last years, the arena was in substandard condition from a safety point of view, and would have required extensive refurbishment, including to the curved ceiling, to remain operative. In 2001, Tesco bought the site in preparation for a proposed multi-million pound Streatham Hub development, which was to include not only a new Olympic sized ice rink but also a public leisure centre with a 50 metre long swimming pool, 250 homes and a large Tesco store. The arena finally closed on 18 December 2011, was demolished, and later replaced by the mixed-use development complex which opened to the public on 18 November 2013. To cover the time until the new ice rink opened, a smaller, temporary ice rink was built two miles away in Brixton.

Stretford High School

Stretford High School is a mixed, non-selective secondary school in Stretford, in the borough of Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. It teaches pupils aged 11 to 16 and opened in 1990. After being placed in special measures in 2004, the school's performance improved, and Ofsted rated it "Good" at its 2019 inspection. The school has partnerships with the Manchester United Foundation and Lancashire Cricket. History Stretford High School opened in 1990 on the Great Stone Road site previously occupied by Stretford Grammar School for Boys. That school had merged with Stretford Grammar School for Girls in 1986 to form Stretford Grammar School, which moved to the former girls' school. The school was placed in special measures in 2004 after poor examination results and behavioural problems. Writing in The Guardian in 2009, Ally Fogg described a subsequent recovery under headteacher Derek Davies, by which the school gained an Ofsted "outstanding" rating and a high placing in the contextual value-added league tables. On 8 July 2011, pupils unveiled blue plaques to Tommy Taylor and Duncan Edwards alongside Sir Bobby Charlton and Dickie Bird. The two footballers were among the Busby Babes who lived locally and died in the Munich air disaster of 1958. In March 2020, the school closed temporarily after several staff began to self-isolate during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom. Admissions The school is non-selective and admits pupils from across the north of Trafford. It has 979 pupils on roll. Academic performance In the 2010 examinations, 45% of pupils gained five or more A*–C grades including English and mathematics, 80% gained five or more A*–C grades, and all gained a Level 2 qualification. Ofsted rated the school "Good" at its 2019 inspection. References External links Official website
Stretton Watermill

Stretton Watermill is a working historic watermill in Stretton, Cheshire, England. It is owned and administered by Cheshire West and Chester Council. The mill is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building and the mill machinery is considered to be of national importance. History The earliest record of the mill is when it changed ownership in 1351. In the 16th century the mill was owned by the Leche family. The oldest surviving structure of the building date from 1630, at which time it was timber-framed and had a single breastshot wheel. The cobbled ground floor surface is thought to pre-date the 1630 building. In 1770 the mill was extended by William Leche, the roof was raised and the thatched roof replaced by slates. The timber framing was encased in weatherboarding and sandstone, and an overshot wheel was added. This work is commemorated by an inscribed stone on the west corner of the building. In 1852 the timber breastshot wheel was replaced by a similar type of wheel in cast iron. The mill finally ceased operation in 1959. The mill machinery was restored by Cyril & John Boucher during 1975–7, with partial funding from the Science Museum. The mill has been a museum since 1977. Description The mill is constructed on a timber-framed core, and is cased in weatherboarding and sandstone. There is a brick extension, and a chimney in stone and brick. The roofs are slated. The mill is in two storeys, with an attic for storing grain. The windows are all casements, some with shutters. There are two working waterwheels, one on the outside, the other inside the building. The external wheel is a timber overshot wheel, which drives largely 18th-century wooden machinery. The internal wheel is in cast iron, and is breastshot; it drives Victorian mainly cast-iron machinery. The upper storey, which contains four millstones, is entered by a steep internal stairway, and the grain loft is accessed by a ladder. Outside the mill are stone steps leading up to the mill dam, and a stone-lined millrace with a sluice. Present day The site operates as a museum, picnic area and visitor centre. It is open to the general public on advertised days during April–September between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m., and whilst access to the site is free, there is a small charge for a guided tour of the mill's interior if required. In addition to the working mill, there is a shop and exhibition area in the former stables, outdoor picnic tables, and accessible toilet facilities. Guided tours for groups (both during and outside normal opening hours) can be arranged in advance, and there is an education programme available for schools. Both storeys of the mill are fully accessible to wheelchair users, the upper storey via a ramped external pathway.

Steinkreis Stripple stones

Der hengeartige Steinkreis Stripple stones (auch Stripple stones circle oder Stripple stones henge genannt) liegt nordöstlich von Blisland im Bodmin Moor, 1,3 km westlich liegen die Trippet stones in Cornwall in England. Der Steinkreis ist von einem Ringgraben und einem Wall mit Palisade umgeben, die eine Plattform mit einem Durchmesser von etwa 53,0 m bilden. Der Kreis mit vier stehenden und 11 gefallenen Granitsteinen hat etwa 44,3 m Durchmesser. Nahe der Mitte des Kreises liegt ein etwa 3,7 m langer und 1,5 m breiter zerbrochener Menhir. William Collings Lukis (1817–1892) errechnete, dass 37 Steine mit einem durchschnittlichen Abstand von 3,7 m den Kreis bildeten, während Aubrey Burl von 28 ausgeht. Der Kreis wurde von Lukis als „das interessanteste und bemerkenswerteste Denkmal in der Grafschaft“ bezeichnet. Die Stripple-Steine wurden 1905 von Harold St George Grey (1872–1963) ausgegraben. St George Grey stellte fest, dass die Steine nur etwa 0,46 m tief in den Boden gesetzt worden waren. Es wurden vier Pfostenlöcher gefunden, die den zentralen Stein umgaben. Im Graben fand er zerbrannten Feuerstein, drei Abschläge, einen Rinderknochen und Holzkohle. Er entdeckte im Südwesten einen Zugang in Richtung der Trippet stones. Der den Kreis umgebende Wall hat im Nordwesten, Nordosten und Osten drei halbrunde Ausbuchtungen. Die vierte im Süden ist völlig zerstört. Aubrey Burl schlug vor, dass die Ausbuchtungen vom aufrechten zentralen Stein aus gesehen auf kosmische Bezugspunkte weisen. Er hält die Pfostenlöcher für Versuche, genauere Bezüge herzustellen. Es gibt mehrere Steinkreise auf Bodmin Moor, darunter Fernacre, Stannon, die Trippet stones und The Hurlers. Literatur Aubrey Burl: A guide to the stone circles of Britain, Ireland and Brittany.

Stripple stones

The Stripple stones (or Stripple stones circle) is a henge and stone circle located on the south slope of Hawk's Tor, Blisland, 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) north northeast of Bodmin on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, England, UK. Description First recorded by this name during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I the circle has been described by William Lukis as "the most interesting and remarkable monument in the county". It is surrounded by a circular ditch and vallum that forms a level platform 175 feet (53 m) in diameter. The circle is 145.5 feet (44.3 m) in diameter with four granite standing stones and several fallen. In the centre is a giant fallen menhir approximately 12 feet (3.7 m) long and 5 feet (1.5 m) at the widest point, split in three places. Lukis suggested that with an average spacing of 12 feet (3.7 m), there would have been thirty seven original stones, whilst Aubrey Burl suggested only twenty eight. Archaeology The Stripple stones were excavated in 1905 by H. St. George Gray who found a burnt flint, three flint flakes, an ox bone and some charcoal and oak timbers in the surrounding ditch. He also detected an entrance from this facing southwest, directly towards the Trippet stones. Gray noted that the stones had only been set approximately 1.5 feet (0.46 m) deep into the ground. Four postholes were found surrounding the central stone which was discovered to have been offset from the centre of the circle by 14 feet (4.3 m) to the south southeast. Alignments The vallum surrounding the circle has three semi-lunar projections facing towards the northwest, northeast and east. It has been completely obliterated to the south. Aubrey Burl suggested that from the location of the central stone, when upright, alignments with these bulges in the outer bank mark May Day sunset, Equinox sunrise and the major northern moonrise. He also suggested that the post holes may have been attempts to establish accurate backsights for alignments. Norman Lockyer suggested that sighted from the centre stone, the northeast projection would have aligned with Capella in 1250 BC. Literature William Borlase (1754).

Strode's College

Strode's College is a sixth form college located in Egham, Surrey. It was founded in 1704, when Henry Strode bequeathed £6,000 to set up a free school in his native parish of Egham. In the twentieth century, Strode's became a boys' grammar school, before being designated a sixth form college in 1975. The college also provides a range of day and evening Adult Education courses. Strode's has been part of the Windsor Forest Colleges Group since May 2017. Alumni of the college are sometimes referred to as Old Strodians. History The college traces its origins to the free school founded by Henry Strode. This school and the Almshouses were built on the same site in Egham in 1706. The original buildings were pulled down. Of their replacements, built in 1828, two ranges of almshouses remain. Listed as historic buildings, they are still in use by the college. The present main college building dates from 1915. The school has been known previously as Strode's School and as Strode's Grammar School from 1919 until 1975, when it became Strode's College. In September 2016 it was announced that Strode's would merge with East Berkshire College. The merger was completed on 9 May 2017 when the colleges combined to form the Windsor Forest Colleges Group. The Worshipful Company of Coopers From the time of its foundation the Coopers' Company was the Trustee of Henry Strode's Charity, which administered the school but in 1912 the Charity Commissioners drafted a new scheme which gave the school its own board of governors, changed it from an elementary to a secondary school and brought it into the Surrey education system. Under further changes introduced following the Education Act 1944, the school was granted Voluntary Controlled status as a boys' grammar school and the composition of its governing body set to include four Foundation Trustees, one of whom, at least, was to be a representative of the company. The company continues to provide funds administered by the Foundation Trustees for the benefit of the college. Notable former students Susie Amy, actress Paul Casey, professional golfer Kirsty Capes, author Colin Cramphorn, policeman Sir Roy Gardner, businessman Adrian Genziani, Olympic rower Gavin Greenaway, composer and conductor Hard-Fi band members Steve Lillywhite CBE, record producer (U2 etc.) Doon Mackichan, actor and comedian Aubrey Manning, zoologist and broadcaster Dennis Pacey, footballer Elyes Gabel, actor Mark Stephens, CBE, lawyer and broadcaster External links Strode's College Website The Worshipful Company of Coopers References

Strutton Ground Market

Strutton Ground Market is a small outdoor street market in the St James's area of the City of Westminster. It takes place on Strutton Ground. Licences to trade are issued by Westminster City Council. The market is located on a narrow cobbled street, Strutton Ground, between Victoria Street and Greycoat Place/Great Peter Street. The market is open weekdays from 10:00 to 16:00. The market mainly caters to local residents and the office population in the immediate Victoria Street area, selling food, groceries, books, and clothing, but is becoming increasingly popular with tourists. History Traders moving from Broadway St James's began the market around 1862 and it gradually grew until it lined both sides of the street by the end of the nineteenth century. At this time it numbered around 50 stalls on a Saturday and 25 during the week. The market was predominately fresh food and flowers with some clothing, especially secondhand clothes, and served a poor community. Whilst a few of the stalls were erected by shopkeepers, most were run by costermongers. Between the wars, the market was noted for its floristry and did a brisk trade furnishing flowers for events at the Houses of Parliament. In the 1980s the market is described as still being focused on fresh food and clothing but now catering to office workers on their lunch breaks. By the mid nineteen nineties, the market had been reduced down to 20 pitches with only a couple of fruit stalls and one florist remaining. Whilst cheap clothing was still available to buy the other traders were focused on office workers with watches, greeting cards, and umbrellas available. In the twenty-first century the market followed the trend of the shops and focused on street food served to office lunch crowd. During the COVID-19 pandemic the market was the setting for Chris Whitty, the then Chief Medical Officer, being harassed by a member of the public with the confrontation appearing on social media and then the national news.

Stubb Drainage Windmill

Stubb Drainage Windmill is 1.9 miles east of Hickling in the English county of Norfolk. The Windmill is a Grade II listed building and was given this status on 30 September 1987. The estimate is that there were once about 200 drainage windmills in the Broadlands. Stubb Drainage Windmill is listed as one that is at risk of decay by Norfolk County Council. History Stubb Windmill is one of several drainage windmills which was built between the years 1795 and 1825 by Sir George Berney Brograve. It is a tower mill, originally of three stories but later raised to four. Its body is of brick, with a cap of corrugated iron. Its purpose was to protect the surrounding marshland from flooding during the winter, allowing the land to be used for grazing. Water discharged from Stubb Mill flowed into Meadow Dyke via drains that were also constructed at the time, one of which is called the Commissioners' Drain. This work resulted in the loss of three small broads which were called Wigg's, Gag's and Hare Park Broads. The mill was restored between 2006 and 2010, as part of a Broads Authority initiative funded by the National Lottery. The culmination of the project was the fitting of a new cedar and oak cap on 5 October 2010. References External links Media related to Stubb Drainage Windmill at Wikimedia Commons
