Cheadle Royal Hospital

Cheadle Royal Hospital is a psychiatric hospital in Heald Green, Greater Manchester, England, built between 1848 and 1849. The main building is Grade II listed. History The hospital was founded at a time when only two other similar institutions existed in England (Bethlem and St Luke's) and was initially located next to the Manchester Infirmary in 1763. It was designed by Richard Lane in the Elizabethan style and it opened as the Manchester Lunatic Hospital in 1766. It had 24 beds when it opened, but had over 100 patients by 1800. The facility relocated to Cheadle, 10 miles (16 km) to the south, as the Manchester Royal Hospital for the Insane, in 1849. Voluntary patients, known as boarders, were admitted from 1863. The hospital expanded through the construction of villas on the Cheadle site in the 1860s and through the acquisition of houses in Colwyn Bay in the 1870s. The site in Cheadle was initially 37 acres (15 ha); in the following 80 years about 220 acres (89 ha) were added and the original part of the site subsequently became formal gardens and sport and recreation grounds. A convalescent hospital at Glan-y-Don, Colwyn Bay, was also established. The facility became Cheadle Royal Hospital in 1902 and North House, with accommodation for 80 additional patients, was opened in 1903. It had provision for the treatment of 400 patients in 1928 but it chose to remain private rather than joining the National Health Service in 1948. The hospital was acquired by its management team in 1997 and then by Priory Group in 2010.

Cheam School

Cheam School is a mixed preparatory school located in Headley, in the civil parish of Ashford Hill with Headley in Hampshire. Originally a boys school, Cheam was founded in 1645 by George Aldrich. History The school started in Cheam, Surrey. In the 19th century, the school was strictly for the sons of gentlemen only. One boy had to leave when his father was found to be a tradesman, with a shop in London selling cutlery. In 1934 the school moved to its present site on the borders of Hampshire and Berkshire, previously a country house known as Beenham Court, when its part of Surrey was developing from a quiet village into a busy suburb. The school has occupied its present home, with nearly 100 acres (40 hectares) of grounds, since then. Just before the move, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh was a pupil there. His son, the future King Charles III, was later a pupil at the school. Present day There are four houses (known as divisions): Aldrich (yellow), Beck (green), Gilpin (red), and Tabor (blue). The school colours are red and blue. Cheam educates both boys and girls between the ages of three and thirteen and takes day-pupils as well as boarders.

Cheam Road

Cheam Road is a cricket ground in Sutton, London (formerly Surrey). The first recorded match on the ground was in 1940, when Sutton United Tramps played London Counties. The ground held a single match in the 1955 Minor Counties Championship when the Surrey Second XI played the Warwickshire Second XI. More recently, the ground has held Surrey Second XI matches in the Second XI Championship and the Second XI Trophy. Surrey played a single List-A match against Derbyshire at Cheam Road in the 1969 Player's County League. In local domestic cricket, Cheam Road is the home ground of Sutton Cricket Club who play in the Surrey Premier League. Historically the cricket ground was part of the Lower Cheam House Estate and was donated to the cricket club. Having gone without a pavilion since 1858, the club bought the old waiting room at Sutton railway station and installed it at the ground. In 1906 a wooden pavilion was built, but this was destroyed during The Blitz. A replacement pavilion was constructed in 1955.

Cheddar Reservoir

Cheddar Reservoir is an artificial reservoir in Somerset, England, operated by Bristol Water. Dating from the 1930s it has a capacity of 135 million gallons (613,700 cubic metres). The reservoir is supplied with water taken from the Cheddar Yeo river in Cheddar Gorge. The inlet grate for the 54 inches (1.4 m) water pipe that is used to transport the water can be seen immediately upstream from the sensory garden in Cheddar Gorge. It lies to the west of the village of Cheddar and south east of the town of Axbridge. Because of this it is sometimes known as Axbridge Reservoir. It is roughly circular in shape, and surrounded by large earth banks which are grazed by sheep. A public footpath circles the perimeter of the reservoir, the length of a circuit being approximately 2.25 miles. History The reservoir was built by Sir Robert McAlpine and completed in 1937. It was the first British reservoir to permit sailing. Description The reservoir has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (Ref No:1003948) due to its wintering waterfowl populations. Two car parks give access to the reservoir; one is at the Axbridge end, and on the eastern side, accessible from Cheddar. Two water towers are present, one at the Cheddar end, and one at the Axbridge end. Bristol Corinthians sailing club is situated at its northern end. Other recreational activities at the reservoir include windsurfing, angling (for pike, tench, roach, perch and eels), and birdwatching. Bird life The reservoir, which has an area of 105.4 hectares (260 acres), is attractive to waterbirds, in particular wintering wildfowl and gulls. Wildfowl present regularly in winter include mallard (Anas platyrhynchos), gadwall (Anas strepera), tufted duck (Aythya fuligula), common pochard (Aythya ferina), Eurasian wigeon (Anas penelope), common goldeneye (Bucephala clangula) and goosander (Mergus merganser). A large flock of coot (Fulica atra) is present, and great crested grebe (Podiceps cristatus) are also numerous. Because of its proximity to the Bristol Channel, storm-blown seabirds are occasionally found here, including shag, grey phalarope, divers and grebes. A moderately sized gull roost has attracted glaucous, Iceland and ring-billed gulls on multiple occasions. A number of rare and scarce vagrant birds have been seen at Cheddar Reservoir, mainly waterfowl and shorebirds. Up to 2004 the following species had occurred: Proposals for a second reservoir Bristol Water has long identified Cheddar as the site for a new reservoir. In 2007 it announced that the new reservoir would be one of the options considered in its Draft 2009 Water Resources Plan. The new reservoir would hold 600,000 cubic meters, roughly the same size as the existing reservoir, which it would be based alongside. In October 2012 survey work started on the new reservoir to the south of the existing one, with a planning application scheduled for December 2013. In 2018 it was announced that the plans for the second reservoir had been scrapped. References External links Bristol Corinthian Yacht Club Cheddar Reservoir panorama (BBC)

Cheddar Wood

Cheddar Wood (grid reference ST445552) is an 86.9-hectare (215-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest at Cheddar in the Mendip Hills, Somerset, England, notified in 1967. Cheddar Wood and the smaller Macall's Wood near Cheddar Gorge are what remains of the wood of the Bishops of Bath and Wells in the thirteenth century and of King Edmund the Magnificent's wood in the tenth. It lies on carboniferous limestone with rock showing through the thin topsoils. In 1801 the wood was larger than it is today. During the nineteenth century its lower fringes were grubbed out to make strawberry fields, most of which have reverted to woodland. It was coppiced until 1917. This site comprises a range of habitats which includes ancient and secondary semi-natural broadleaved woodland, unimproved neutral grassland and a mosaic of calcareous grassland and acidic dry dwarf-shrub heath. Two nationally rare plant species are present. Additional interest lies in the invertebrate fauna. Cheddar Wood is one of only a few English stations for starved wood-sedge (Carex depauperata), which grows in the lane along the east side of the wood. The nationally rare purple gromwell (Lithospermum purpurocaeruleum) grows in the lane along the west side of the wood. Butterflies include silver-washed fritillary (Argynnis paphia), dark green fritillary (Argynnis aglaja), pearl-bordered fritillary (Boloria euphrosyne), holly blue (Celastrina argiolus) and brown argus (Aricia agestis). The slug Arion fasciatus, which has a restricted distribution in the south of England, and the soldier beetle Cantharis fusca also occur. The site is managed as two nature reserves by Somerset Wildlife Trust Cheddar Wood Edge which covers 7.1 hectares (18 acres) of old strawberry fields, is now reverting to semi species-rich limestone grassland and scrub with ancient woodland hedges, and Cheddar Wood itself which has restricted access allowed by permit.

Vila Romana de Chedworth

A Vila Romana de Chedworth é uma villa romana situada próximo de Chedworth, Gloucestershire, no sudoeste da Inglaterra. É uma das maiores vilas romanas da Grã-Bretanha. A villa foi erguida em etapas do começo do século II ao século IV. É um monumento marcado. Localização A vila fica em uma posição protegida, sombria, com vista para o rio Coln nas Colinas Cotswold em Gloucestershire. Ele estava localizado ao largo da estrada romana conhecida como Caminho Fosse, 13 km a norte da importante cidade de Corinium Dobunnorum (Cirencester). A reputação de Cirencester como centro de governo tribal e uma capital civitas levou à rápida romanização da área e consequente concentração de riqueza. A localização de Chedworth em Cotswolds e no vale do rio Coln foi importante para a agricultura. Foi uma das cerca de cinquenta vilas em Cotswolds, e uma de nove em apenas um raio de 8,0 km. A vila foi deliberadamente localizada ao lado de uma nascente natural no canto noroeste do complexo que era a principal fonte de água da vila, e ao redor da qual mais tarde foi construído um santuário apsidal para as ninfas de água (ninfas).

Chelfham Viaduct

Chelfham Viaduct is a railway viaduct built in 1896–97 to carry the single track, narrow-gauge Lynton and Barnstaple Railway (L&B) across the Stoke Rivers valley. Designed by L&B engineer, FW Chanter, and containing over a quarter of a million Marland bricks, its eight arches - each 42 feet (13 m) wide and 70 feet (21 m) high - meaning that the 132-yard (121 m)-long viaduct is the largest narrow gauge railway structure in England. Chelfham Viaduct was Bridge number 22 of the 80 that carried or spanned the railway over its 19-mile (31 km) length. The viaduct was classified as a Grade II listed structure on 25 February 1965. After closure After the L&B closed in 1935, the rest of the trackbed, buildings and land from the line was sold at auction in 1938. The viaduct, however, was not sold. In 1943, it featured as a location in the war-time film The Flemish Farm, representing a Franco-Spanish border crossing. It is probable that such a redundant structure would normally have been dismantled, either then, or shortly afterwards during the Second World War, as happened to the smaller viaduct at Lancey Brook, which was destroyed as a demolition training exercise by the Army. However, a school and other buildings at its base made it uneconomical to dismantle, so it remained in Southern Railway ownership, passing to British Railways on the nationalisation of the railways in Britain in 1948, and in 2001, becoming part of the Historical Railways Estate. until, on 30 September 2013, The Highways Agency took over properties held and managed by BRB(R) prior to it being wound up. The Highways Agency Annual Report for 2013-14 stated the following: "The British Railways Board (Residuary) Ltd (BRBR) was wound-up on 30 September 2013. The ongoing functions of BRBR were subsequently dispersed to a number of successor bodies, including the Agency. From 1 October 2013, the Agency is discharging the Secretary of State’s responsibility for the maintenance and management of the BRBR Historic Estate which consists of over 3,400 tunnels, bridges, viaducts, culverts and other structures; plus around 230 public road supporting structures and 85 parcels of land associated with access to these structures. The Historic Estate assets were transferred to the Secretary of State at nil value. These assets, together with any related contingent liabilities, are included in the Department for Transport’s accounts." Restoration In 2000, the viaduct was extensively restored, including the fitting of a waterproof membrane to the deck, improvements to rainwater drainage, and restoration of the parapets, leaving the structure once again ready to carry rail transport. The project was funded by BRB and the Railway Heritage Trust. The Lynton and Barnstaple Railway Company, which owns the nearby railway station helped fund the restoration of the parapets and the upgrading of the waterproof membrane as part of long-term plans to reopen the line.

Chelker Reservoir

Chelker Reservoir is a man-made lake in North Yorkshire, England. It lies in the parish of Draughton, immediately north of the A65 road, between Skipton and the village of Addingham. It was put into service in 1866 and serves the Bradford area; it is currently owned by Yorkshire Water. The reservoir's main inflow is the River Wharfe. Chelker Wind Farm In 1992 a wind farm, the third-ever in the United Kingdom, was erected on the north side of the reservoir. The wind farm consisted of four two-bladed turbines which generated 1.2MW and went online in December 1992. They were used to pump water from the River Wharfe up to the reservoir. In 2013, after permission to enlarge the wind farm was refused, the turbines were demolished.

Chelmarsh Reservoir

Chelmarsh Reservoir is a water supply reservoir located in the village of Chelmarsh, Shropshire. The reservoir is operated by South Staffordshire Water and was created in 1963 to augment the supply of water in a large area of South Staffordshire and the Black Country. The main source of water to the reservoir is from abstraction from the River Severn. The reservoir is the main source of supply for Sedgley beacon service reservoir that feeds potable water to some parts of Wolverhampton. Chelmarsh Reservoir attracts many species of wild birds. Hydrology The site chosen for the reservoir was the valley of Chelmarsh Brook on the west bank of the Severn, about ¾ mile from Hampton Loade Ferry. Previously the site had been the location of a small dam which created Park Pond and served as an ornamental lake for Chelmarsh Hall. Recreational The reservoir is home to a sailing club (www.chelmarshsailing.org.uk) whose refurbished facilities were opened by the Princess Anne in 2004. Chelmarsh Sailing club encourages people of all ages to learn to sail, it has an expanding fleet of modern sailing boats which are suitable for people of all ages and abilities. It has arguably the best sailing facilities within 50 miles range. References External links Chelmarsh Sailing Club
