MOD Portland Bill

MOD Portland Bill is a Ministry of Defence site, managed by QinetiQ, used for magnetic measurement on the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England. The facility is situated at Portland Bill, where tests can be performed well away from stray electric and magnetic fields. History The site was chosen during the 1960s for magnetic measurement due to Portland Bill's remoteness and magnetic cleanliness. As Portland stone, which was used on Buckingham Palace, is non-magnetic, as well as the site's remoteness, the site is free from any magnetic disturbance such as heavy traffic, and as a result, very small magnetic fields from equipment can be measured with a very high degree of accuracy. Role The site is used to magnetically assess any item, but mainly MCMV and EOD equipment. Magnetic compasses can also be tested. The unique facility is both notified and approved by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and is the only accredited centre for Type Approval of Magnetic Compasses and Binnacles in the United Kingdom. Land Magnetic Range The Land Magnetic Range is a secure and magnetically stable environment, used to measure the magnetic fields found in Mine Counter Measure Vessel equipment. The range uses inbuilt coil systems which enable the Earth's magnetic field to be reduced to zero, simulate anywhere on the planet, or provide only the vertical or horizontal portion of the Earth field to pass through the item under test, which an equivalent Sea Range cannot do. EOD Range The EOD area tests the equipment of EOD divers. Compass Test Centre The Compass Test Centre inspects and tests magnetic compasses, whilst also delivering them to RAF stations across the UK. The Compass Base Calibration Surveys is a designated area of survey and certification, used for accurate swinging of Aircraft Navigation Equipment for both military and civilian airfields. References
Minsteracres

Minsteracres is an 18th-century mansion house, now a Christian retreat centre, in Northumberland, England. It is a Grade II listed building. The house was built in 1758 by George Silvertop. Originally erected with two storeys, a third storey was added in 1811 and a new North wing was built in 1865. The Silvertops were a Roman Catholic family. George Silvertop was in 1831 the first Catholic appointed High Sheriff of Northumberland following the repeal of the penal law. His nephew Henry Charles Silvertop, High Sheriff in 1859 built a Catholic chapel adjoining the hall, and dedicated to St Elizabeth of Hungary in 1854. The chapel is a Grade II listed building. The Silvertop family sold the House in 1949 for conversion to a Passionist Monastery. A retreat house was opened in 1967, and in the 1970s links were established with the Selly Park sisters and the Sisters of Mercy from Sunderland. Since 2012 Minsteracres has been run by a charitable trust on behalf of the Passionist community. It describes itself as a "Christian place of prayer with a resident community rooted in the Roman Catholic Passionist tradition". In the early 1960s Consett artist Sheila Mackie painted two large murals Agony in the Garden and The Conversion of Saul, each 40 feet (12 m) by 12 feet (3.7 m) for the Minsteracres retreat house; they were known to still exist in 2010 and are listed in the database PostWar Murals Database, last updated 2013. The east and west lodges, stable block, entrance screen with flanking walls and a group of farm buildings are all separately grade II listed.

Monkwearmouth railway station

Monkwearmouth is a former railway station that served Monkwearmouth in the English city of Sunderland, from 1848 to 1967. It was built in 1848 to a design by Thomas Moore and was once the main railway station in the city. The railway station closed in March 1967 and featured a restored booking office dating from the Edwardian period. The building was used by the Monkwearmouth Station Museum from 1973 to 2017 and as of 2018 is home to The Fans Museum. Background The station served the city of Sunderland from 1848 to 1967, with passenger numbers beginning to decline around the 1950s. Despite the closure of the station in 1967, the Tyne and Wear Metro and mainline trains still pass through the station without stopping, but the Metro calls at St Peter's station a few hundred yards south of the old station. The former station is a Grade II* listed building. During its time as a museum, as well as the ticket office, visitors could explore the Wagon Shed, Journeys Gallery and Children's Gallery. It was opened as a museum by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh in 1973. The museum was temporarily closed from August 2005 until 2007 to allow repairs and refurbishment to take place. The refurbishments cost around £1 million, with a grant of £497,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The museum was closed again on 31 March 2017 due to declining visitor numbers and budget cuts. The Fans Museum In 2018 the former station reopened as The Fans Museum, which houses a collection of football memorabilia from Sunderland and around the world. The museum was closed in March 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic but reopened in August 2021. See also Grade II* listed buildings in Tyne and Wear References External links The Fans Museum website
Montagu Hospital

Montagu Hospital is in Mexborough, a district of Doncaster, in South Yorkshire, England. It is managed by the Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which also includes Bassetlaw District General Hospital and the Doncaster Royal Infirmary. History The hospital has its origins in a small cottage hospital which opened at Bank Street in Mexborough in 1890.

The size of the hospital grew steadily although between 1919 and 1939, the number of hospital beds increased from 48 to 120. It joined the National Health Service in 1948. Services The hospital has a Rehabilitation Centre, believed to be the first of its kind in the UK, which was opened in October 2013, as well as a Minor Injuries Unit staffed by emergency nurse practitioners. The £3.8m Fred & Ann Green Rehabilitation Centre has 18 single bed rooms specially designed to help people who are recovering from conditions that require intensive therapeutic, medical and nursing care.

Montrose House

Montrose House est un bâtiment classé Grade II * de la fin du XVIIe siècle au 186 Petersham Road, Petersham dans le Borough londonien de Richmond upon Thames. Histoire La maison est construite pour Sir Thomas Jenner, juge des plaidoyers communs sous Jacques II, mais porte le nom de la duchesse douairière de Montrose (veuve du 3e duc) qui y vit de 1837 à 1847 . Dans les années 1870, elle est occupée par John Master, un magistrat à la retraite du service colonial indien, sa femme Gertrude et ses enfants. L'une de ses filles, Hilda Master, est la mère de Anthony Blunt . Il est acheté par l'artiste Tommy Steele en 1969 et vendu par lui vers 2004. La maison est située dans un virage serré à angle droit sur Petersham Road (partie de l' A307). Après une série d'accidents graves dans le virage de la route, les voisins forment un groupe dans les années 1850 appelé Trustees of the Road. Algernon Tollemache de Ham House est leur chef et ils réussissent à persuader le propriétaire de Montrose House de se séparer d'un terrain pour réduire la dangerosité du virage. Cependant, diverses bosses dans le mur de briques révèlent aujourd'hui que les automobilistes sont encore pris au dépourvu . À côté de Montrose House se trouve le Rutland Lodge, construit en 1660 pour un lord-maire de Londres.

Morecambe Winter Gardens

The Winter Gardens is a Grade II* listed building in Morecambe, Lancashire, England. Designed by architects Mangnall and Littlewood, with Frank Matcham as a consulting architect, it was originally built as the Victoria Pavilion Theatre in 1897 (opened on Monday, 19 July 1897) and was an extension to the existing Winter Gardens complex, which has since been demolished. The theatre closed to the public in 1977 and was listed the same year. It is considered to be one of Morecambe's most significant features, and a campaign for its restoration has been ongoing since 1986. History The Victoria Pavilion Theatre was built in 1897 as part of an existing complex. Dating from 1878, the original complex included seawater baths, bars and a ballroom. In the 1950s, the Winter Gardens were taken over by Moss Empires, however declining profits in the following decades led to its closure in 1977. Although the theatre building that remains today was listed the same year, the ballroom building was demolished in 1982. In 2008, as part of an appraisal of the Morecambe Conservation Area, the Winter Gardens were listed as one of the area's most significant features, as the main example of the remnants of the resort's nineteenth century entertainment buildings. In 2008, the Winter Gardens were featured on the tenth series of the ghost hunting show Most Haunted. They returned in October 2009, when the Winter Gardens was opened to the public as the live audience venue for the eight consecutive nights of the Most Haunted Live! broadcast. Preservation and restoration The Friends of the Winter Gardens were formed in 1986 to represent the interests of the building, and campaigned for its preservation and restoration. In 2006, the Friends formed a charitable trust company, The Morecambe Winter Gardens Preservation Trust (Ltd), to purchase the Winter Gardens. In 2009, Lancaster City Council applied for a grant from the government's Sea Change programme, which is intended to promote regeneration in coastal towns. The grant of £4m would have resulted in the trust receiving matching funding from the North West Development Agency (NSWDA), and allowed them to apply for a further £4.5m from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). This would have brought them close to the total needed to complete the refurbishment, however in November 2009 it was announced that their bid was unsuccessful. In October 2021, the building was one of 142 sites across England to receive part of a £35 million injection into the government's Culture Recovery Fund. In March 2023 it received a further £2.8 million from the Cultural Investment Fund. The volunteers of the trust were collectively awarded the King's Award for Voluntary Service in November 2023.

Morpeth Clock Tower

Morpeth Clock Tower is a building located off the Market Place, Morpeth, England. The tower stands 60 ft high with walls 3 ft 6 in thick. It stands close to the Morpeth Town Hall (originally designed by Vanbrugh in 1714) and the YMCA buildings of 1905. It is Grade II* listed building. History The Clock Tower was constructed sometime between 1604 and 1634 out of recycled Medieval stone giving it its much older appearance. The stone was thought to come from a gatehouse that previously stood at the west end of Oldgate. However, it is more likely to have been built out of stone from the nearby ruined Newminster Abbey which was dissolved in 1537. The tower acquired a peal of six bells cast by the prominent bell founder Richard Phelps (of Whitechapel Bell Foundry) in 1706 at the request of Major General Edmund Maine, MP of Morpeth. These bells were originally intended to be made for the Parish Church of Berwick-upon-Tweed. However, the people of Berwick failed to elect the Maine to office as a member of parliament a couple of years previously. On his successful election as MP of Morpeth, the bells were presented to the Corporation of Morpeth. This gave rise to the curious local saying that "Berwick Bells are heard in Morpeth." To accommodate the bells, a top storey (belfry) was built in 1706. By the early 20th century, the bells had fallen into disrepair and were eventually recast and hung in a new cast iron frame in 1951 by John Taylor & Co to commemorate the Festival of Britain.

Morpeth Dock

Morpeth Dock is a dock at Birkenhead, Wirral Peninsula, England. The dock is situated between the River Mersey and Egerton Dock. History Built between 1844 and 1847, it is named after Lord Morpeth, the 7th Earl of Carlisle, who was the First Commissioner of Woods and Forests. The dock was opened in 1847, and the branch dock was built between 1866 and 1868. By 1872, the dock had been significantly remodelled with the branch dock and a canal basin for the GWR's goods station. Morpeth Dock Goods station was used by the GWR as the Birkenhead end of cross-river traffic to the Manchester Dock. Morpeth Dock provided berths for the Bibby Line, the Brocklebank Line, Holt and the Pacific Steam Navigation Company, all of which worked to the Far East. The branch dock was too small for ships, and was used to site one of the Queensway Tunnel ventilation towers in 1934, along with a water pumping station in 1955. The pumping station later became a water treatment plant, now replacing the entire basin of the branch dock. Originally, the dock connected directly to the River Mersey via the locks of the Morpeth River Entrance, although the entrance channel has since been partially infilled and the locks removed after being disused for some years. Access to the Great Float via Egerton Dock has also been removed, making both docks effectively landlocked. The dockside sheds of the former Morpeth Branch Dock were restored around 1992, and contain the Pacific Road Business Centre. One O'Clock Gun Situated close to the dock and overlooking the river, the One O'Clock Gun provided a time signal to shipping on the Mersey. It was fired electrically from Bidston Observatory for the first time on 21 September 1867 and the original cannon was a relic of the Crimean War. Due to the advent of radio and increasing maintenance costs, by 1932 it was proposed to discontinue the One O'Clock Gun. Although this did not occur, firing was suspended during the Second World War. The tradition ceased altogether on 18 July 1969. A One O'Clock Gun is still fired at Edinburgh Castle. Bomb discovery Birkenhead docks, as well as the surrounding area, were heavily bombed by the Luftwaffe during the Second World War. In May 2006, a 60-year-old, 500 kg (1,102 lb) bomb was discovered by the Royal Navy's Northern Diving Group and disposed of by the minesweeper HMS Atherstone. It was found embedded in mud in the river, near to the former entrance to Morpeth Dock and may have been disturbed during dredging work at the Twelve Quays ferry terminal. The bomb was later detonated in Liverpool Bay. See also Listed buildings in Birkenhead References Sources Ashmore, Owen (1982). The Industrial Archaeology of North-west England.
