New Caledonian Wharf

New Caledonian Wharf is a luxury gated community in the Rotherhithe area of London on the River Thames. The site was originally part of the Surrey Docks and known as Redriff Wharf, and served as a commercial wharf until the 1970s. History The wharf was originally known as Redriff Wharf and continued to be a commercial wharf until the late 1970s. It was located adjacent to Greenland Dock and part of the Surrey Docks, though it was directly accessible from the river. After falling into disrepair, Rosehaugh acquired the site in 1989 and redeveloped it into 104 flats together with architects Shepheard Epstein Hunter. The building has a large central courtyard, which includes a fountain. The community has use of a private gym and swimming pool, available only to the residents and their guests. The wharf also has 24-hour portage. Many of the flats in the wharf have balconies looking over the Thames, with the views from Greenwich to Canary Wharf.

New College Ground

New College Ground is a cricket ground in Oxford, England. The ground is owned by New College, a constituent college of the University of Oxford. The ground operated as a first-class cricket venue from 1906 to 1927, hosting three first-class matches. History After the Magdalen Ground was established, a trend began where constituent colleges of the University of Oxford began to form enclosed cricket grounds. New College initially leased the land on which they played cricket from Christ Church. In the early 1880s, Alfred Robinson, a fellow of the college, established a cricket ground for New College on land south of the University Parks. Oxfordshire first played minor counties cricket at the ground against Wiltshire in the 1896 Minor Counties Championship. In both the 1900 and 1901 seasons, Oxfordshire played all of their home minor counties fixtures at the ground. Oxford University have played first-class cricket at the ground on three occasions. The first of these came in 1906 against the 1905 County Championship winners Yorkshire, while the second came the following season against the touring South Africans. The ground was requisitioned by the War Office during the First World War, where it provided initial training for 17–18 years old cadets. To this end, trenches simulating those a soldier might encounter on the Western Front were dug on the ground. The ground regularly hosted parades for the 1st Battalion, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry throughout the war. Following the end of the war, soldiers from the 1st Battalion filled in the trenches. The ground hosted its third first-class match in 1927, with Oxford playing the touring New Zealanders. Oxfordshire returned to the ground in 1939, playing all four of their homes matches in that seasons Minor Counties Championship there (a fifth, against Cornwall, was abandoned without a toss). During the Second World War, the ground was not requisitioned and inter-college cricket was played.

In 2014, the college collaborated with Stamford A.F.C. on the establishment of the Borderville Sports Centre on land provided by the Burghley Estate, at Borderville on Ryhall Road, north of town. Ofsted In 2006, Ofsted rated NCS as Grade 2 "Good”, including effectiveness of provision, capacity to improve, achievements and standards, quality of provision and leadership as well as management Some key areas were identified for improvement; milestones towards completion of targets were not specific enough or linked to quantifiable indicators to enable a clear and detailed view of progress. It was stated that the college needed to improve retention rates, the planning for and the development of learning and the quality of its self-assessment. Since the 2006 Ofsted inspection, the problems have been rectified, as was noted in the annual assessment visit of 2007.

York Watergate

York Watergate is a Grade I listed gate in the Victoria Embankment Gardens that previously fronted onto the River Thames. History The gate was erected in the grounds of York House around 1626, one of many mansions that lined the Strand, a favoured site for access to the river. Its original purpose was to serve as a decorative entrance to the grounds of York House on the river. The house itself had come into the hands of George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham only two years earlier and it appears it was originally intended to be rebuilt. The gate along with a surrounding terrace walk would be central to the property's identity into the 19th century, with a clause in any lease or sale agreements guaranteeing right of access for them. It would function to some extent as it was originally intended until the building of the Victoria Embankment in the 1860s, where gardens have been laid out around the gate. Some time before this however, additional embankments and piers had been added. Architecture The gate was erected by Nicholas Stone, and while its design was also attributed to him by his grand-nephew, this is less certain, with various other architects having been given. Among them Balthazar Gerbier is often cited, the gate being in a similar style to much of his work. He had also worked significantly on York House, the grounds of which the gate was set within. Inigo Jones has also been raised as a possible candidate. Its design shows architectural inspiration from the Medici Fountain in Paris, being rendered in a Baroque style, potentially encouraged by Charles I's taste for the Italianate. It is a tripartite gate built in Portland stone with a pediment over the central arch displaying the arms of the owner of York House, George Villiers. The pediment is flanked by two lions couchant either side, which appear to have greater consensus as being the design of Nicholas Stone. Depictions in art York Watergate has been depicted by various artists, often including the nearby York Buildings Water Tower. Among artists who have produced work on the gate are Thomas Malton, William Marlow, Canaletto, and George Belton Moore. References
New Forest Wildlife Park

The New Forest Wildlife Park (formerly The New Forest Otter, Owl and Wildlife Conservation Park) is located on the edge of The New Forest close to the towns of Ashurst and Lyndhurst. The park specialises in native and past-native wildlife of Britain and otters and owls from around the globe, housing four species of the former and ten of the latter. The park is recognised as the UK's leading institution in the rescue and rehabilitation of sick, injured and orphaned wild otters, along with the rehabilitation of other wildlife such as owls, deer and foxes in similar situations, and it is involved in several conservation projects, including breeding programmes for endangered native species such as Scottish wildcats, water voles and harvest mice. History The site was opened as The New Forest Butterfly Farm in 1981, and the main glasshouse complex that formed the farm still stands today. That venture was closed in the early 1990s, and it was taken over by entertainment company Vardon Plc. (which also owned the UK's numerous Sea Life Centres), who turned the site into New Forest Nature Quest, a collection specialising in native wildlife. However, when Vardon was taken over by Merlin Entertainments in 1998, the park was put up for sale. Some of the animal collection was taken over by a company called 'Nature Quest' owned by Kenneth West, that eventually was housed at the newly created Wildwood Discovery Park in Kent. The remainder of the collection was taken over by Roger Heap who had already been running the Chestnut Centre, an otter and owl specialised collection in Derbyshire, since 1984 when he took over ownership of the park. Along with the many native animals that Nature Quest had fixed into the park, the Heap family added a large collection of otters and owls on par with the Derbyshire Park and The New Forest Otter, Owl and Wildlife Conservation Park was born. Twelve years later, the park was re-branded as The New Forest Wildlife Park to emphasise the large and expanding collection of native and past-native wildlife in addition to the many otters and owls. Animals at the park The main bulk of the collection consists of animals that are or were at one time native to Britain, along with various species of otters and owls from around the globe and tropical butterflies in a walk-through exhibit that calls back to the park's early days as a butterfly farm. These include: The Park's owl species include: Facilities The Woodland Bakehouse serves as the Park's restaurant and tearoom, and is open both to visitors and non-visitors to the park. The next-door Wildlife Gift Shop sells souvenirs and local produce, and during winter months is relocated to the Bakehouse on a smaller scale. External links Official Website

New Mill, Willesborough

New Mill is a Grade II* listed smock mill in Hythe Road, Willesborough, Ashford, Kent. It stands just west of junction 10 of the M20 motorway. It was built in 1869 and is now a museum open to the public. History New Mill was built in 1869 by John Hill, the Ashford millwright, replacing an earlier smock mill. The mill was worked by the Cornes family until the First World War, and by the Manwaring family from 1920 until 1938 when the mill last worked by wind. The mill was then sold to T Denne and Sons and used for storage. The fantail was sold to Barham mill in 1946 and installed on that mill. In 1969 the mill was bought by Tom Robbins and remained in his ownership until it was bought, in a very dilapidated state, and fully restored in 1991 to its former glory by Ashford Borough Council for the benefit of the citizens of Ashford and the public at large. The mill makes its own stoneground wholemeal bread flour, turning one set of stones with the power of a 14 horsepower (10 kW) Hornsby engine. The mill, with its neighbouring barn, is licensed for weddings, Christenings, (civil ceremonies) and many other meetings and functions. The Mill complex is open from April to the end of September on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays from 2pm to 5pm. School and group visits can be arranged for weekdays. In 2006 the mill was awarded a Heritage Lottery Grant which enabled the replacement of the sails. The new sails were fitted on 13 April 2007. Part of the grant was spent on producing an Education pack for use on school visits. The windmill is now fully operational and able to mill flour using wind or the engine. The mill is licensed to hold wedding ceremonies. Norman Museum Norman Cycles was a bicycle, autocycle, moped, and motorcycle manufacturer based in Ashford, and the mill's barn complex houses the Norman Museum, where they have some mopeds and bicycles on display. The Norman Cycles Club is based at the Windmill. Description New Mill is a four-storey smock mill on a two-storey brick base with an attached miller's cottage. It has four patent sails carried on a cast-iron windshaft. It drives four pairs of millstones by wind, with a fifth pair powered by an auxiliary engine. This was a steam engine until 1911, then an oil engine and latterly an electric motor. The Brake Wheel is of composite construction, with an iron centre and wooden rim. This drives a cast-iron Wallower on the Upright Shaft, which carries a cast-iron Great Spur Wheel, which drives the millstones overdrift.

New Providence Wharf

The New Providence Wharf is a residential development in the Blackwall district of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, at the north end of the Blackwall Tunnel. It was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and is managed by Ballymore, a property development company. It consists of a crescent-shaped block along Fairmont Avenue and Yabsley Street (New Providence Block A-E, with 559 apartments), two taller buildings - the Ontario Tower (256 apartments) and Charrington Tower (originally Providence Tower, 360 apartments) - the Michigan Building (72 apartments) and Columbia West (19 apartments). Early phases of the development were completed in 2005, and were built of materials that complied with the guidance that applied at that time. However, following the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire, it emerged that the 19-floor New Providence Block A-E used the same aluminium composite material (ACM) for cladding. More than 500 households would, on average, have to pay over £4,000 each after freeholder Landor Residential, part of the Ballymore group, refused to cover the cost of recladding the block. In February 2019, Ballymore offered residents a 20% contribution towards recladding costs, but gave them a two-week ultimatum to foot the rest of the £2.4m bill, despite stated MHCLG policy that leaseholders should not to be made to pay to remediate dangerous cladding systems. Ballymore also offered loans, but threatened to cancel its 20% contribution and add a 5% interest to the loan if any resident threatened the company with legal action. Fires May 2021 fire On 7 May 2021, the ACM-clad building, New Providence Block A-E, at New Providence Wharf suffered a major fire. The blaze affected parts of the 8th, 9th and 10th floors of Block D, and resulted in two people being taken to hospital, plus the evacuation of 42 people. Ballymore said the ACM played no part in the blaze. A London Fire Brigade report about the fire revealed serious safety failings. It said the fire started in a fuse board in an 8th floor flat, and then spread outside via timber decking. A faulty ventilation system meant the building acted like a "broken chimney" while escape routes filled with smoke. LFB deputy commissioner Richard Mills said "The New Providence Wharf fire needs to be an urgent wake-up call to all building owners and managers. ... It is too late to wait for a fire to see if [fire safety solutions] work." August 2024 fire On 26 August 2024, a fire broke out on the 25th floor of Charrington Tower, destroying half of an apartment and its balcony.
