Queen Elizabeth II Stadium (Enfield)

The Queen Elizabeth II Stadium, known for Enfield Town matches as the Dave Bryant Stadium, is a multi-use sports venue in Enfield, London. Built initially as a venue for athletics, in 2011 a three-year refurbishment was completed to allow the stadium to be used for football. The Stadium is a Grade II Listed Building. History In 1939, construction of a new sports venue for Enfield began. The centerpiece was an athletics stadium, with additional space on the site for ball sports and a swimming pool. Due to the Second World War, work on the site was suspended, with the stadium not being completed until 1953. The athletics stadium, named after Queen Elizabeth II for her Silver Jubilee in 1977, was used as a training venue by a number of significant British athletes, including Sebastian Coe, Daley Thompson and Linford Christie, all of whom won Olympic titles. By 2008, the venue had fallen into disuse. Enfield Town F.C., which had been formed in 2001, and who had been groundsharing with Brimsdown Rovers, came to an agreement with Enfield Council to refurbish the stadium for use as a multi-use venue, with the track being resurfaced and the stadium brought up to the standard required for football in the Isthmian League. Enfield Town moved to their new stadium in 2011, with their first official game taking place against a Tottenham Hotspur XI. In 2014, during upgrades to the New River Stadium, the London Skolars played six home games at the QEII stadium during the second half of the rugby league season. In 2018, the stadium was one of the venues for the 2018 ConIFA World Football Cup, with ten games played there: six group games, and four in the knockout round, including the final on 9 June 2018. In 2024, the stadium was temporarily renamed in honour of founder chairman Dave Bryant, becoming The Dave Bryant Stadium until the end of the 2023/24 season, in which Enfield Town won promotion to the National League South for the first time. The name continued to be used the following season as Town avoided relegation from the National League South. Facilities The main element part of the stadium is the pavilion, completed in 1953. This is a Grade II listed building built in Art Deco style, and serves as the clubhouse, main stand and changing rooms. Butler's Bar serves fans on matchdays. Opposite the main stand is a second, small seated stand, while behind each goal, inside the perimeter of the running track, are two covered terraces. The running track was reduced from eight lanes to six during the refurbishment from 2008 to 2010. The stadium also has a club shop. International football References

The Croft

The Croft is a large detached house on Totteridge Green in Totteridge, Barnet. It has been Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England since November 1974. The house was designed by the English architect T.E. Collcutt as his personal residence. It was subsequently profiled in an 1899 issue of The Builder. The formal gardens of The Croft originally contained a sculpture of Triton by Henry Pegram. Collcutt also built another Grade II listed house on Totteridge Green, Fairspeir, and The Lynch House on Totteridge Common. Bridget Cherry, writing in the 1998 London: North edition of the Pevsner Architectural Guides, described The Croft as 'very picturesque' and 'a more relaxed version' of Richard Norman Shaw's 'Old English style'. The interior was described as having 'pretty plasterwork' and tiles by William De Morgan. The 1977 edition of the Pevsner guides had described the Croft's design as "three ranges and a court, roughcast, with Tudor windows" likening it to the domestic architecture of C. F. A. Voysey.

Friern Barnet Town Hall

Friern Barnet Town Hall is a municipal building in Friern Barnet Lane in Friern Barnet, London, England. The building, which was the headquarters of Friern Barnet Urban District Council from 1941 to 1965, is a Grade II listed building. History In the late 19th century, the new Friern Barnet Urban District Council, which had been established in 1894, based itself at offices in Tudor House in Beaconsfield Road but then moved to an 18th-century mansion known as The Priory in Friern Barnet Lane in 1906. Following significant urban growth in the early 20th century in what was then a developing outer London district, civic leaders decided to demolish The Priory and replace it with a modern town hall on the same site. They appointed Charles Cowles-Voysey, who had designed Watford Town Hall, to assess the design competition: the influence of Cowles-Voysey was apparent in the shape and features of the proposed building. A foundation stone for the new building was laid by the Council Chairman, Councillor John Edward Pickering, on 16 September 1939. It was designed by Sir John Brown, A E Henson and Partners in the Neo-Georgian style and was officially opened on 16 June 1941. The design involved a concave main frontage of eleven bays facing onto the corner of Friern Barnet Lane and Friern Barnet Road; the central section featured a doorway on the ground floor with a wide cast iron balcony and shield above; there was a clock with a lantern above at roof level. English Heritage has described it as "a good example of pared-down modernism". The principal room was the council chamber which was contained within a structure jutting out to the rear of the main building. A control centre was established in the basement for civil defence purposes in the event of an enemy bomb attack. The future Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, gave a speech to the Friern Barnet Young Conservatives in the town hall in September 1965. The building continued to serve as the headquarters of Friern Barnet Urban District for much of the 20th century but ceased to be the local seat of government following the formation of the London Borough of Barnet in 1965. The building was subsequently used as workspace for Barnet Council's education and children's departments. After a review by Barnet Council of all its properties in 2002, the building was deemed to be surplus to requirements and sold to Barratt Developments. A programme of works to convert the town hall into a block of apartments known as Aldermen Court was completed in July 2005. References

Church of St Mary and St Joseph, Poplar

The Church of St Mary and St Joseph is a 20th-century Roman Catholic parish church in Poplar located in Tower Hamlets, London, England. History The modern church was built in 1951-1954, as part of the Festival of Britain's Lansbury Estate Live Architecture Exhibition, and was consecrated by Cardinal Godfrey in October 1960. It replaced an earlier church of the 1850s by William Wardell that was destroyed in the Second World War. Architecture The building is listed Grade II. Its architect was Adrian Gilbert Scott, who specialised in ecclesiastical buildings. On a Greek Cross plan, it is built of steel girders and brick, with a reinforced concrete spire. On the outside, the plan becomes a series of rectangular blocks. It is notable for its elongated and tapered round parabolic arches (described as 'camel vaulted' at the time of its listing). Its mixed or transitional style combines Art Deco or Jazz Modern with elements suggesting Hispanic Moorish, ancient Persian or Egyptian. Gavin Stamp's descriptive phrase 'Jazz Modern Byzantine' was used in the church's listing. The design has similarities to work by Giles Gilbert Scott and to Adrian Gilbert Scott's own earlier St. James Anglican Church (Vancouver), and its parabolic arches informed his later work on St Leonard's Church, St Leonards-on-Sea. The interior contains stone reliefs of the Stations of the Cross by Peter Watts. The stained glass is by William Wilson of Edinburgh.

Holborn Town Hall

Holborn Town hall is a municipal building on High Holborn, Holborn, London. It is a Grade II listed building. History The first town hall was a substantial structure on the corner of Gray's Inn Road and Clerkenwell Road which was commissioned by the Holborn District Board of Works on behalf of the Vestry of St Andrew Holborn Above Bars. It had been designed by Lewis Isaacs in an Italianate style, built by Brown & Robinson of Finsbury and completed in 1879. Following the creation of the Metropolitan Borough of Holborn in 1900, consideration was given to expanding this building but this proposal was rejected on the grounds that the old building would be difficult to adapt. After being used as a concert hall during the first half of the 20th century, it was demolished in the 1960s. Instead it was decided to extend an existing building on High Holborn which had been designed by William Rushworth in the French Renaissance style and which had opened as a public library in 1894. The design for the existing (eastern) wing had involved a narrow main frontage with four bays facing onto High Holborn; there were two arched entrances both flanked by Corinthian order pilasters on the ground floor; there were oriel windows on the first and second floors and smaller windows on the third and fourth floors with an oculus above. The foundation stone for the extension to this building to create a new town hall was laid by the mayor, William Smith, on 27 October 1906. The design involved creating a new central wing and a new western wing, in a similar and symmetrical style to the existing eastern wing, based on the plans of Septimus Warwick and H. Austen Hall. The works were carried out by John Greenwood Limited and the new town hall was officially opened by the Lord Mayor, Sir George Truscott, on 13 October 1908. A wrought-iron balcony bearing a borough coat of arms made by the Bromsgrove Guild of Applied Arts was installed in the middle of the central section on the first floor. The principal rooms were a court room on the ground floor a council chamber at the rear of the building on the first floor. The First International Syndicalist Congress, a meeting of European and Latin American syndicalist organizations, was held at the town hall from 27 September to 2 October 1913. A plaque, manufactured by De La Rue, commemorating the efforts of the borough in contributing to the Wings for Victory Week, was erected on the wall just inside the right hand doorway in 1943. Another plaque, commemorating their contribution to Salute the Soldier Week, was erected there the following year. The building on High Holborn ceased to function as the local of seat of government when the enlarged London Borough of Camden was formed in 1965 and was subsequently converted for alternative uses including restaurant use (on the ground floor) and offices (above). The freehold ownership of the building was acquired by a private investor for £22 million in September 2019. References
