Bexhill Museum

Bexhill Museum is in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex. An independent museum founded in 1914. The museum is run as a registered charity supported by volunteers and two employees. History Bexhill Museum was opened in 1914. The Reverend J.C. Thompson and Kate Marsden were instrumental in the setting up of the museum and Thompson was Hon Curator until 1924. Marsden was one of the first women to be made a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society after she travelled thousands of miles across Russia to Siberia in 1891. Marsden is credited as the person who inspired the museum's creation as she organised meetings to gather local support. She invited local dignitaries and successfully applied for artefacts from Bryant and May, Frys and Colmans. The museum was given a shell collection by Marsden and she encouraged Walter Amsden to donate a collection of Egyptian artefacts. In 1913 the Mayor of Bexhill contacted the committee and revealed that Marsden had been involved in a controversy concerning her finances and sexuality. Marsden was obliged to resign. The museum is housed in what was known as the Egerton Park Shelter Hall, built in 1903 by George Ball. This had been a small entertainments pavilion for the use of visitors to the park. The Bexhill Corporation owned the building and leased it to the museum as well as proving a small grant. Henry Sargent started work at Bexhill Museum in 1920 and remained in post until his death in 1983. The museum's governing body, the Bexhill Museum Association, was founded in 1923. The museum built up a collection of local archaeology and taxidermy and founded the Bexhill Museum Association in 1923 to oversee their work. The natural history collection was not well preserved as the temperature and light levels were difficult to control and the basement was liable to flood. In 1986 the museum's buildings were remodelled. The lighting and heating were brought under better control and temporary exhibition space and a store were established in the previous toilet blocks. Over the next ten years the relationship with Rother District Council led to a curator being transferred to the museum. Today The museum merged with the Bexhill Museum of Costume in 2004 and became a registered charity overseen by trustees. It is run by volunteers, with two paid employees and a curator employed by Rother District Council. The patron of the museum is Eddie Izzard. There are 4 collections on permanent display: The Sargent Collection - An Edwardian gallery showing sea shells, dinosaurs, birds, mammals, insects, artefacts from Ancient Egypt and Peru, stone tools and local archaeological treasures. The Costume Collection - Garments, accessories and social history dating from the 17th century to the modern day. The Technology Collection - Various vehicles representing different eras and technology. Bexhill in WWII Gallery - Where the bombs fell in Bexhill, original items from WWII and the Bexhill 1940 Winter Wartime Model Railway. Gallery References
West Midlands Police Museum

The West Midlands Police Museum is located in a Victorian cell block on Steelhouse Lane, Birmingham, England, which was operational from 1891 until 2016. The museum houses artifacts and archives of the West Midlands Police and its predecessors dating back to before the formation of Birmingham City Police in 1839, as well as a small collection of paintings, including a portrait of Sir Charles Haughton Rafter, the longest-serving Chief Constable of Birmingham. The archives contain many records of police officers who served in the area of the present West Midlands Police. The museum re-opened in April 2022 in the Grade II listed Victorian cell block at the former Steelhouse Lane police station following a heritage lottery-funded refurbishment. The collection was previously displayed in a wing of Sparkhill police station, which was formerly a courtroom. It is one of two museums operated by the West Midlands Police, the other being in Coventry. References External links Official website Paintings held at the museum
Yarnbury Castle

Yarnbury Castle ist eine mehrphasige, mehrfach umwallte, ovale Höhensiedlung der Eisenzeit nördlich von Steeple Langford in Wiltshire in England. Das im Jahre 1991 untersuchte Hillfort umfasst eine Fläche von 11,5 ha. Dabei wurden Funde aus der Eisenzeit, römische Münzen, römisch-britische Keramik von der frühen Eisenzeit bis zur römisch-britischen Zeit, unter anderem Samian Ware von rund 160 n. Chr. und Reste von Bestattungen entdeckt. Es gibt Belege für eine längere und umfangreiche Nutzung des Platzes. Unter anderem gelang der Nachweis von rund 130 Strukturen verschiedener Größe. Die meisten stellen eine Mischung aus Rundhäusern und Gruben dar. Die Grabungen auf Yarnbury Castle sind auch auf biologischem Gebiet von Interesse. Yarnbury Castle besteht aus drei Wällen mit äußeren Gräben. Die Wälle sind bis zu 3,5 m hoch und die Gräben bis zu 1,7 m tief. Die Gesamtbreite der Umwallung liegt in der Regel bei etwa 17,0 m. Die Erdwerke sind in der Regel gut erhalten, außer an der nordöstlichen Seite, wo der äußerste Graben aufgrund eines Eingriffs verloren ging. In der Mitte der Umwallung liegt eine ältere, kleinere Einhegung von 5,2 ha mit einem Zugang in der westlichen Seite. Die wichtigsten Erdwerke werden etwa auf 100 v. Chr. datiert, die frühere, innere Struktur auf etwa 300 v. Chr. Der Hauptzugang zum Burgwall liegt auf der östlichen Seite. Es gibt einen Zugang am nördlichen Ende, der wie der Zugang an der Westseite sowie eine kleine, rechteckige, römisch-britische Einhegung an der Seite der Festung möglicherweise eine spätere Ergänzung darstellt.

Centrale nucleare di Berkeley

La Centrale Nucleare di Berkeley è un centrale elettrica situata presso Berkeley, nel Gloucestershire, Inghilterra, Regno Unito. L'impianto è composto da due reattori Magnox da 276MW di potenza netta, chiusi alla fine degli anni novanta del XX secolo. è stata uno dei primi reattori nucleari al mondo. La sua storia è notevole per essere stata una delle prime installazioni di ricerca nucleare, ed è spesso considerata come una pietra miliare nello sviluppo della tecnologia nucleare. Storia La Centrale Nucleare di Berkeley fu aperta nel 1962 come parte del programma nucleare del Regno Unito. È stata gestita dal laboratorio di ricerca dell'Autorità per l'energia atomica britannica (AEA). Tipo di Reattore: La centrale ospitava il reattore di ricerca a grafite naturale (GCR), noto come il "reattore di Berkeley". Questo reattore utilizzava la grafite come moderatore e il diossido di uranio come combustibile nucleare. Scopo: La principale finalità del reattore di Berkeley era condurre ricerche scientifiche e sperimentazioni nei campi della fisica nucleare, della medicina nucleare e delle scienze dei materiali. Nonostante fosse un reattore nucleare, la Centrale Nucleare di Berkeley non aveva lo scopo di produrre energia elettrica su larga scala, ma piuttosto di alimentare le sperimentazioni scientifiche. La Centrale Nucleare di Berkeley fu chiusa nel 1982 in seguito a restrizioni di bilancio e preoccupazioni sulla sicurezza nucleare. Il reattore fu poi disattivato e il sito sottoposto a un processo di decontaminazione e smantellamento. Eredità Scientifica: Nonostante la chiusura della centrale, la sua eredità scientifica è stata significativa. Le ricerche condotte presso la Centrale Nucleare di Berkeley hanno contribuito all'avanzamento della conoscenza nel campo della fisica nucleare e di altre discipline. Oggi il sito della Centrale Nucleare di Berkeley è considerato un sito storico ed è aperto al pubblico come museo, offrendo visite guidate per coloro che sono interessati alla storia della tecnologia nucleare nel Regno Unito. La Centrale Nucleare di Berkeley rappresenta un importante capitolo nella storia della ricerca nucleare britannica e nella storia dell'energia nucleare in generale. La sua chiusura ha segnato un cambiamento nei programmi nucleari britannici, ma il suo impatto scientifico e storico continua a essere studiato e apprezzato.

Jet Age Museum

The Jet Age Museum is the trading name of the Gloucestershire Aviation Collection, an all-volunteer, charitable organisation dedicated to the preservation of Gloucestershire's aviation heritage. The aviation museum is located on the north side of Gloucestershire Airport, between Gloucester and Cheltenham. It houses a number of aircraft, aero engines, cockpits and other related exhibits. It is themed on the early development of jet aircraft, in particular the role played by the Gloster Aircraft Company and other local firms such as Dowty Rotol and Smiths Industries. The museum is also the custodian of the Russell Adams photographic archive. History The organisation was formed in 1986 and established as a company limited by guarantee. The museum first opened to the public at the Gloucester Trading Estate, the former Brockworth aerodrome. With the aid of grants and public donations, it began to amass a collection of aircraft. The museum's first significant public opening began with a temporary exhibition in a hangar adjacent to Gloucestershire Airport. This had to close in 2000 after it was announced the former wartime hangar was to be demolished. The aircraft were dispersed to a number of locations in Gloucestershire including, briefly, at the former GAC 'shadow' factory at Bentham. A workshop was established at Brockworth Court and the remaining airframes eventually made their way back to Gloucestershire Airport, where they were placed in open storage. In 2005, an Avro Anson in the collection was sold for restoration. The museum made a number of unsuccessful bids to the Heritage Lottery Fund to construct a purpose-built facility before finally submitting plans for a building at Gloucestershire Airport. In January 2011 plans were approved for a new building to house the museum's collection. One year later, an agreement was reached for a 45 year lease of the land the building sits on. The museum opened provisionally from 24 August 2013 and officially in May 2014. A Gloster Meteor was added in 2013 and a Gloster Javelin purchased from RAF Leeming in 2014 was moved to the museum a few months later. With these acquisitions, the museum had a significant number of aircraft on display outside and as a result announced a fundraising campaign for an extension in 2019.

Balkerne Gate

Balkerne Gate er en romersk byport i Colchester (det tidligere Camulodunum). Den er den største bevarede byport fra Romersk Britannien og blev opført dér, hvor den romerske vej fra Londinium krydsede bymuren omkring Camulodunum. Den er et scheduled monument og en fredet bygning i kategori Grade I. Historie Ifølge Historic England stammer porten sandsynligvis fra det 2. århundrede e.Kr. Den ser ud til at have indarbejdet en allerede eksisterende monumental bue fra det 1. århundrede. Sir Mortimer Wheeler foretog arkæologiske udgravninger på stedet i 1917. Ifølge en artikel, som han efterfølgende offentliggjorde: Porten bestod af to brede kørebaner, hver 5,2 m brede, flankeret af to gangpassager, hver omkring 1,8 m brede. Hele porten rager 9,1 m frem foran bymuren, og den samlede facade har en bredde på 33 m. Selv om den er den bedst bevarede romerske byport i England, er kun en del af den bevaret. Den tilbageværende del er den sydlige buede gangpassage; desuden er resterne af et vagttårn stadig synlige. Resten af porten blev senere overbygget af den 18. århundredes pub Hole in the Wall, som også er en fredet bygning. Struktur Romerske byporte havde undertiden op til tre gennemgange, men var som regel begrænset til én eller to. Balkerne Gate havde derimod fire porte og usædvanligt brede kørebaner. Den blev sandsynligvis opført som et monument snarere end som en befæstet byport. Der findes ingen andre firedobbelte byporte i Storbritannien, men der findes enkelte andre steder i Europa, eksempelvis Porte d'Auguste i Nîmes, Porte Saint-André og Porte d'Arroux i Autun samt Porta Palatina i Torino.

Balkerne Gate

Balkerne Gate is a Roman gateway in Colchester (the former Camulodunum). It is the largest surviving gateway in Roman Britain and was built where the Roman road from Londinium intersected the town wall of Camulodunum. It is a scheduled monument and a Grade I listed building. History According to Historic England, the gate probably dates to the 2nd century AD. It appears to have incorporated an existing monumental arch from the 1st century. Sir Mortimer Wheeler excavated at the site in 1917. According to a paper he published subsequently: The gate consisted of two broad carriageways, each 17 ft (5.2 m) wide, flanked by two footways, each about 6 ft (1.8 m) wide. The whole gate projects 30 ft (9.1 m) in front of the town wall, and the total extent of the frontage is 107 ft (33 m). Although it is the best-preserved Roman gateway in the country, it only survives in part. The remaining gateway is the south-side arched footway; however, the remains of a guard tower are also visible. The rest of the gateway has been overbuilt by the 18th-century Hole in the Wall public house, which is also a listed building. Structure Roman town gates sometimes had as many as three entrances but were usually limited to one or two. The Balkerne Gate, however, had four gates, and unusually wide carriageways. It was likely constructed as a monument, rather than as a fortified gateway. There are no other quadruple gates in Britain but there are a few elsewhere in Europe; for example, the Porte d'Auguste at Nîmes, the Porte Ste. André and the Porte d'Arroux at Autun, and the Porta Palatina at Turin. References
Portão de Balkerne

Balkerne Gate é um portal romano em Colchester (o antigo Camulodunum). É o maior portal sobrevivente na Grã-Bretanha romana e foi construído onde a estrada romana de Londinium cruzava a muralha da cidade de Camulodunum. Tudo o que resta do Portão de Balkerne, o portão romano mais antigo ainda de pé na Grã-Bretanha. Uma sentinela do passado que outrora anunciava, com sua massa imponente, a entrada de Camulodunum, a primeira capital da Grã-Bretanha romana. Construído como um portão quádruplo - um dos maiores de todo o império em solo britânico -, ele marcava o acesso ocidental à cidade, combinando função militar e monumentalidade urbana. Contém em si a memória de uma era em que cada entrada era arquitetura, mensagem e poder, datado do século 2 a.C. Referências

British Academy of Film and Television Arts

British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) és una organització que reuneix a les personalitats de les indústries cinematogràfica, televisiva i dels videojocs al Regne Unit. L'acadèmia és composta, en el seu conjunt, d'aproximadament 6.500 membres que tenen com a objectiu "motivar i inspirar a aquells que treballen en el cinema, la televisió o el món dels videojocs, i educar aquells que en fan ús". L'acadèmia es va crear el 16 d'abril de 1947 en una reunió que va tenir lloc en el Hyde Park Hotel de Londres. El seu primer president va ser el director de cinema David Lean. Aquesta associació concedeix anualment els premis BAFTA, per reconèixer qui ha contribuït a l'avenç de la cinematografia britànica. En coincidir molts dels seus membres amb els acadèmics amb dret a vot als Oscars, les candidatures d'ambdós premis sovint solen coincidir, amb el qual es converteixen en una bona pedra de toc per a la cerimònia dels Oscars.
