Alnwick Community Hospital

Alnwick Community Hospital is a community hospital in Alnwick, Northumberland, England. It is managed by Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. History An infirmary at Alnwick was instigated at a public meeting on 9 June 1815 as the Alnwick Dispensary "to administer advice and medicine to the poor, to promote vaccine inoculation and to afford aid in cases requiring the greater applications of surgery." George Tate credits William Burrell of Broom Park and John Lambert of Alnwick as principal founders; Lambert acted as secretary and treasurer until his decease in 1849. The infirmary was funded by a mix of donations and subscriptions; £2081 was received in the first year, much of which was invested in interest-bearing funds. Governors of the infirmary, who subscribed yearly one guinea or donated ten guineas, had the privilege of recommending patients for care. Subscriptions and donations continued to be in excess of the expenditure up to 1839, when £4900 was invested in 3 per cent consols. The institution having then the reputation of being a rich body, donations were seldom made and the subscriptions were lessened, so that debt accumulated and it became necessary to sell stock funds and to seek additional public aid to clear off the incumbrance. The financial position was stabilised by the 1860s when income and expenditure were typically about £420 per annum. William Davison acted as apothecary for the infirmary; a medical school Davison set up in his pharmacy premises was noted throughout the North of England. The Dispensary was sited first in a house on Fenkle Street, and moved to a purpose-built building on Dispensary Street in 1819. It changed its name to the Alnwick Infirmary in 1849. New hospital premises were built and opened in 1908 close to the Tenantry Column. Alnwick infirmary joined the National Health Service in 1948. Other Alnwick hospitals A hospital formed part of the Alnwick Union Workhouse, built in 1841 on Wagonway road. A fever hospital was established between 1886 and 1888 on a greenfield site about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) south of the workhouse, and was used until 1952. Notes References

It specialises in savoury baked products such as pies, pasties, barms and sweet items including confectionery and cream cakes. As of 2020, it has 25 stores across the North West region of England. History Galloways Bakers was founded by Ronald and Patricia Galloway in 1971, it started from a single store in the Newtown area of Wigan, which was named The Pie Shop. By late 1970s the company had grown to four premises, and its name was eventually changed to Galloways Family Bakers. In 1989 it became a Limited Company, and throughout the 1990s and 2000s it expanded the number of stores across the North West. In 2017, the store introduced a special range of baked goods in support of Wigan Warriors reaching the Challenge Cup final. In the early 2000s, the Galloways sold the business to a long-time employee who still owns the company over 20 years later. During the COVID-19 pandemic, all of its 25 stores were shut for nearly two months due to the national lockdown. Starting in late May 2020 a phased reopening of its branches was brought in, after the company introduced social distancing measures to its shops. In 2025, Galloways supplied the pies to the World Pie Eating Championship, these meat and potato pies are all cooked to strict regulations of 12 cm (5 in) in diameter with a depth of 3.5 cm (1.5 in).

Queenwood Golf Club

Queenwood Golf Club is a golf club near Ottershaw in Surrey, England. The club is only open to members and their guests. The club was developed by the American entrepreneur Frederick D. Green. The American businessman Walter Forbes was also involved in the creation of the club. Green had previously developed the Eagle Springs and Nantucket golf clubs in the United States. It was designed by David McLay Kidd and opened in 2001. On his website McLay Kidd stated that he aimed for Queenwood to be a departure from that "modern style" that had led to recent expensive club closures and a "return to the heathland traditions" of the courses at the famed nearby clubs of Sunningdale Golf Club, Walton Heath Golf Club, Woking Golf Club, and Swinley Forest Golf Club. McLay Kidd employed the extensive use of heather as a design element "both for its strategic and aesthetic values, most notably on the bunker faces. It took a good five years to grow in to the fullest, and now that it has, everyone seems to understand why I insisted on using the heather so extensively". Golf Monthly magazine listed the club as one of the '10 Most Exclusive Golf Clubs In the UK', writing that "When it comes to exclusive golf clubs, Queenwood is one of the world's leaders. Little is known about the super-private Surrey club which has a phenomenal golf course always kept in pristine condition". Membership A 2005 article in The Guardian stated that the membership of Queenwood was limited to 350 and included the actors Michael Douglas, Hugh Grant, and Catherine Zeta-Jones among its members as well as professional golfers Darren Clarke and Ernie Els. Els wrote of the Queenwood course that "The practice facilities are so good they wouldn't be out of place at a professional tour event and generally there are not many people around so I can concentrate fully on my game." The American diplomat James Rubin and the British strategist and diarist Alastair Campbell played several times at the club in 2006 and 2007. Campbell described the club in his diaries as "Height of luxury ... Caddies, club cleaners, shoe polishers really OTT and luxurious, lots of banker wanker types". The Queenwood's no-mobile-phone policy was waived as Campbell took calls on the golf course from Prime Minister Tony Blair. Campbell also played at Queenwood with the footballer Jamie Redknapp and the solicitor David Mills and met Gary Lineker there.

Belper Baptist Church

Belper Baptist Church is a Baptist Chapel on Bridge Street in Belper, Derbyshire, England. History The Baptist presence in Belper was formed from a congregation at Duffield in 1817. A chapel was built and was in use by 1819. It was built to replace an earlier chapel which the congregation had outgrown. Plans were developed in 1877. The land in Bridge Street was purchased for £518 and this debt was paid off by 1885, when fund-raising for construction started. By Easter 1893, the congregation had raised enough money to lay the foundation stone of the new building. The foundation stone was laid on 7 August 1893. It was designed by S. R. Bakewell C.E. of Belper, and the contractor was A. Hingley of Duffield. It was constructed with Darley Dale stone, relieved with cornices, strings and arches of dressed stone. The total cost was around £2,700. Organ The church had a pipe organ by J.M. Grunwell dating from 1874 which was originally in the home of Thomas Barker Mellor.

Rockstone Place Park

Rockstone Place Park or Little Mongers Park is a formal park in Southampton, United Kingdom. The park is next to the Southampton and New Forest Magistrates court building. The park was originally constructed in the 19th century as a pleasure garden for the residents of a nearby housing development. In 1879 it was donated by Mrs Jane Wills, Miss Margaret Toomer and Miss Rebecca Toomer (the heirs of Edward Toomer who had constructed the housing development) to Southampton Council on condition that it remain a park forever. During World War II air raid shelters for ordnance survey staff were constructed in the park. After the war the park seems to have been largely abandoned before being converted into a car park in 1967. In the early 1980s the city of Southampton society and the Southampton Commons and Parks Protection Society became aware of the then car park's status and the terms of the initial gift (at least in the case of the Southampton Commons and Parks Protection Society via an anonymous letter). Attempts to raise the matter with the council resulted in no action and an appeal to the Local Government Ombudsman was rejected on the basis of the car park having been constructed before the Ombudsman came into existence and the council not having been given enough time to put things right. A second appeal to the Ombudsman in 1988 was accepted and the car park closed in 1990. References
Blechynden Terrace Park

The screen is made of corten steel and shows the Southampton shoreline prior to land reclamation in the area. References
Isabella Plantation

Isabella Plantation is a woodland garden in Richmond Park in south west London. It is managed by The Royal Parks. Originally located in a boggy part of Richmond Park, it was labelled on a 1771 map as Isabell Slade. Slade, or sleyt, meant a bog or open space between woods and or banks, and isabel meant dirty or greyish brown, referring to the colour of the soil there. The Isabella Plantation was established in the early 19th century when Lord Sidmouth, who was Deputy Ranger of Richmond Park and a former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, fenced it as an area of woodland to keep the park's deer out. After World War II it was transformed into a woodland garden. It is now organically run, resulting in a rich flora and fauna. Opened to the public in 1953, it is now a major visitor attraction in its own right. In October 2012 it was reported that about 40 per cent of the Isabella Plantation is covered with Rhododendron ponticum, a non-native and invasive variety of rhododendron introduced by the Victorians, and that this would be removed over the next five years. In 2014, improvements were made to the Plantation to incorporate new direction signs, wheelchair-accessible pathways and toilets and a new shelter and gazebo through a project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The works also incorporated de-silting of all three ponds (Peg's Pond, Thomson's Pond and Still Pond) in the Plantation and establishing new waterfalls in the streams, funded by The Royal Parks with contributions from the Friends of Richmond Park.

Londonderry, North Yorkshire

Londonderry is a village near the Yorkshire Dales, England situated 4 miles (6 kilometres) south-east of Bedale, almost on the A1 road. It is in the historic North Riding of Yorkshire. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the Hambleton District, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council. It is named after the Marquesses of Londonderry, who took their name from County Londonderry, now in Northern Ireland, and were colliery owners in this area of England. Londonderry Lodge was a former Transport Café in the village. The café is now closed, having served the traffic on the A1 road for 100 years. The building has been listed as Grade II since 1966. With the upgrading of the A1 to A1(M) standard, the junction with the A1 was diverted away from Londonderry (with even the new service road, the A6055, taking a route west of the new road as opposed to going through the hamlet). As a consequence of this, traffic has been lost from the hamlet, lorry traffic especially so. A noted refuelling service station have moved their business from Londonderry to Leeming Bar because of this traffic shift.
