Amphithéâtre de Chester

L'Amphithéâtre de Chester fut construit à l'extérieur de l'angle sud-est de la forteresse romaine de Deva Victrix situé en Bretagne (aujourd'hui en Angleterre dans la ville de Chester à seulement quelques minutes de marche du centre-ville moderne). Construction Il eut deux phases de construction, toutes les deux en pierre. La première construction faisait état d'un petit amphithéâtre en pierre, avec les gradins en bois, qui fut remplacé par un grand amphithéâtre avec les voûtes et contreforts en pierre. D'ailleurs, les archéologues ont d’abord pensé que le gradin supérieur était en bois mais ont ensuite découvert qu’il était en pierre et mesurait 10 mètres de haut. « Cet étage supplémentaire a dû être ajouté en raison du succès de l’amphithéâtre », a expliqué Dan Garner. Ça devait être une structure très impressionnante. Il possédait deux entrées, l'une au Nord et l'autre au Sud. Histoire L'amphithéâtre dominait la partie sud-est de la forteresse, dressant ses murs impressionnants au-dessus de la rivière, un point de repère pour les voyageurs venant du sud, de l'est et de l'ouest, et un symbole de la puissance et de la domination romaine. L'amphithéâtre pourrait avoir été lié à des traditions de martyrs chrétiens. Au IVe ou au début du Ve siècle, la forteresse romaine fut abandonnée en tant que base militaire et l'amphithéâtre devint un siège fortifié pour l'élite locale. Une bonne partie des pierres employées durant le Moyen Âge dans la ville de Chester est supposée provenir de l'amphithéâtre. Projet Ce ne fut que récemment, en 1929, qu'on découvrit que Chester possédait un amphithéâtre romain. Par ailleurs, depuis quelques années, l'amphithéâtre est devenu sujet à polémique : de nombreux habitants et organisations de la ville de Chester affirment que le potentiel, tant archéologique que commercial du site, n'est pas suffisamment exploité. Tristement, ils le considèrent donc comme sous-exploité et comme une dépression partiellement fouillée, entourée par la circulation et signalée uniquement par deux simples panneaux négligés et traversée de part en part d'un haut mur blanc. Ainsi, des groupes de pression ont commencé à exiger des actes sincères de la part de la ville et de English Heritage (Patrimoine Anglais), le gardien du site. Et c'est en 2003 que le projet de l'amphithéâtre de Chester fut mis en place par le conseil municipal de Chester et English Heritage en vue de fournir des données concrètes pour argumenter un débat en profondeur sur la mise en valeur, l'interprétation et la gestion du site et de ses environs.

Amfitheater van Chester

Het Amfitheater van Chester is een Romeins amfitheater in Chester in Groot-Brittannië. Het oorspronkelijke amfitheater werd in de jaren 70 van de 1e eeuw n.Chr. gebouwd. Het hoorde bij het militaire kamp Deva Victrix en diende ter vermaak van de daar gelegerde legionairs van het Legio II Adiutrix. Mogelijk trainden deze soldaten ook in het amfitheater. Het eerste theater was gemaakt van hout en had afmetingen van 75 bij 67 meter. Al na enkele jaren werd het houten bouwwerk afgebroken en werd een groter amfitheater van steen gebouwd. Dit nieuwe theater was 95,7 bij 87,2 meter groot en was daarmee het grootste Romeinse amfitheater op het huidige Britse grondgebied. Het amfitheater had waarschijnlijk twee verdiepingen en men schat dat het 12 meter hoog was. Op de tribunes was plaats voor 8.000 tot 10.000 toeschouwers. Rond 350 n.Chr. raakte het theater buiten gebruik, waarna het verviel. De restanten van het amfitheater werden in 1929 bij toeval ontdekt bij de aanleg van een weg.

John Fretwell Sporting Complex

The John Fretwell Sporting Complex is a cricket ground and clubhouse complex located at Sookholme, near Spion Kop in Warsop parish, Nottinghamshire, England. The ground, which also has facilities for football and bowls, is the home of Welbeck Cricket Club and has been used by Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club for some List A fixtures since 2015. The ground was developed by retired local businessman John Fretwell, a former Welbeck cricketer who wanted to create a new facility for the local community. Welbeck Colliery Cricket Club — as they were then known — were felt to have outgrown the facilities at their Oakfield Lane ground in Market Warsop. Fretwell identified a site on farmland off Sookholme Road where the new complex was constructed in 2006. Welbeck Colliery began to play at the ground from the beginning of the 2007 season. Part of Fretwell's vision for the ground was to bring county cricket back to the north of Nottinghamshire, which was achieved in 2015. Prior to then, Nottinghamshire had not played a home match anywhere other than Trent Bridge since 2004, and not at another ground in their own county since 1998. The inaugural "Welbeck Weekender" took place in July 2015, with Royal London One-Day Cup matches on consecutive days against Warwickshire and Glamorgan. in July 2016, Nottinghamshire faced Derbyshire in the same competition. Nottinghamshire have also used the ground for Second XI fixtures several times since 2008. Nottinghamshire Women played their first Women's County Championship match at Welbeck in 2009 and have used the ground regularly since 2013. Financial activities The complex is a registered charity. During the financial year of 2022–2023, it raised £66,725 and had expenditure of £130,876. The complex is also commercially active as a hospitality venue. A 2019 charity fundraiser benefitting The Stroke Association featured local boxer Steve Ward. References External links Official website CricketArchive page

List of local nature reserves in Cambridgeshire

Cambridgeshire is a county in eastern England, with an area of 1,308 square miles (3,390 km2) and a population as of 2011 of 708,719. It is crossed by two major rivers, the Nene and the Great Ouse. The main manufacturing area is Peterborough, and the foundation of the University of Cambridge in the thirteenth century made the county one of the country's most important intellectual centres. A large part of the county is in The Fens, and drainage of this habitat, which was probably commenced in the Roman period and largely completed by the seventeenth century, considerably increased the area available for agriculture. The administrative county was formed in 1974, incorporating most of the historic county of Huntingdonshire. Local government is divided between Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council, which is a separate unitary authority. Under the county council, there are five district councils, Cambridge City Council, South Cambridgeshire District Council, East Cambridgeshire District Council, Huntingdonshire District Council and Fenland District Council. Local nature reserves (LNRs) are designated by local authorities, which must have legal control over the site, by owning it, leasing it or having an agreement with the owner. LNRs are sites which have a special local interest biologically, geologically or for education. Local authorities can either manage sites themselves or through other groups such as "friends of" and wildlife trusts, and can apply local bye-laws to manage and protect LNRs. There are twenty-seven LNRs in Cambridgeshire. Four are Sites of Special Scientific Interest, and five are managed by the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire. The largest is Little Paxton Pits at sixty hectares, which is of national importance for wintering wildfowl, and the smallest is St Denis Churchyard, East Hatley, which has grassland with diverse flowers. There is public access to all sites.
