Bestwood Pumping Station

Bestwood Pumping Station was a water pumping station operating in St Albans, Nottinghamshire, England, from 1874 until 1964. It was subsequently repurposed for various hospitality uses. History Bestwood Pumping Station was built between 1871 and 1874 on land belonging to William Beauclerk, 10th Duke of St Albans. It was commissioned by the Nottingham Water Company and designed by Thomas Hawksley in the Venetian Gothic style, reflecting the social importance of water supply infrastructure in the 19th century. The 172 feet (52 m) tall chimney is concealed and disguised as a huge campanile topped by a cupola. It was equipped with two 125 hp rotative beam engines built by Joseph Whitham and Son, Leeds. The pumping station yielded more than 3.5 million imperial gallons (16,000 m3) per day from the pebble beds. It pumped water through two 18-inch (46 cm) mains to Red Hill reservoir and one 18-inch main to the Papplewick reservoir. It operated until 1964 when a new electric pump house was built. The steam engines were removed between 1968 and 1972. Bestwood Pumping Station was designated a Grade II* listed building in 1972. Several of the structures on site are also separately listed including the lodges, landscaped ornamental cooling pond, several cast iron lamps and the boundary wall and gate. Later use The Venetian Gothic Revival style building can be seen from the main A60 road. Its tower makes the building a local landmark. From 1982 until 2017, the building housed the Lakeside Tower Restaurant and Spa. The site was left vacant until it was acquired in 2019 for £1.5 million. Substantial investment went into its redevelopment, most recently branded as 'Lakeside'. The building operated as a wedding venue and restaurant until it closed in 2023.

National Holocaust Centre and Museum

The National Holocaust Centre and Museum, previously known as Beth Shalom (lit. "House of Peace"), is a Holocaust memorial centre in Laxton, Nottinghamshire, England. Description Opened in September 1995, Beth Shalom was the first venue in Britain dedicated to the Holocaust as its primary purpose, though there is also a permanent exhibition at London's Imperial War Museum and another in Huddersfield, the Holocaust Exhibition and Learning Centre, which was opened in 2018. The Centre was founded by brothers James and Stephen Smith following a 1991 visit to Israel during which a trip to Yad Vashem changed the way they looked at history and the Holocaust. The museum seeks to educate primary school children about the Holocaust through its primary exhibit on children's experiences, funded in part by a lottery grant of nearly £500,000. Prince Harry was educated about the Holocaust at the Centre after he was criticised for wearing a Nazi Afrika Korps costume with swastika armband to a fancy dress party in 2005. On 21 July 2010, almost twenty years after the Holocaust Centre was founded, James and Stephen Smith and their mother Marina were each awarded honorary degrees of Doctor of Letters (DLitt) by Nottingham Trent University. The venue is based around an old farm house (grid reference SK700670) which has a purpose-built exhibition centre with lecture theatre, and a Memorial Garden. A feature of the garden is a black stone on which are inscribed the names of the Nazi death camps. Joan Salter's suitcase and other artefacts belonging to the transatlantic holocaust survivor are part of the collection. The centre is also home to the Aegis Trust, an all-party group working for genocide prevention.

Betley Court

Betley Court is an 18th-century country house in the ancient village of Betley, near Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire. It is a Grade II* listed building. The house was built for John Cradock in 1716 and was later altered by architect George Wilkinson. In 1783 extensive gardens, including parterres and water features, were laid out by William Emes. In 1809 the property was largely rebuilt in a two-storey seven bay Georgian style to designs by John Nash. It was further improved in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by architect Douglas Caroe. The country house and estate passed by female descent to the Fenton and Fletcher families and as a result of the 1814 marriage of Elizabeth Fenton to Francis Twemlow, to the Fletcher-Twemlow family. The house fell into disuse following the death in 1976 of Charles Fletcher-Twemlow. The Grade II listed stable block was converted to residential use and new houses were built in the grounds. New owners carried out extensive refurbishment to the House. In 2008 the current owners launched a garden restoration not-for-profit membership organisation called 'The Emes Society' (after William Emes – see above) with the intention of looking after the 10-acre (40,000 m2) garden and developing it for the 21st Century, with open days for the public including, e.g. a Bluebell Walk. The formal part of the garden includes a magnificent Cedar of Lebanon planted by William Barron. On 23 August 2019 Betley Court suffered a devastating fire believed to have started in the roof space.

Betley Court

Betley Court é um palácio rural inglês do século XVIII, localizado na antiga aldeia de Betley, nas proximidades de Newcastle-under-Lyme, no Staffordshire. É um listed building classificado com o Grau II*. História Betley Court foi construído por John Cradock em 1716 e foi, mais tarde, alterado pelo arquitecto George Wilkinson. Em 1783 foram instalados extensos jardins, incluindo parterres e elementos de água, por William Emes. Em 1809, a propriedade foi largamente reconstruída em Estilo Georgiano, em dois pisos com sete secções, segundo desenhos John Nash. Ainda foi melhorado em finais do século XVIII e início do século XX pelo arquitecto Douglas Caroe. O palácio passou por linhagem feminina para as famílias Fenton e Fletcher e, como resultado do casamento, em 1814, de Elizabeth Fenton com Francis Twemlow, para a família Fletcher-Twemlow. O edifício deixou de ser usado depois da morte de Charles Fletcher-Twemlow, em 1976. O bloco de estábulos, classificado com o Grau II, foi convertido para uso residencial e novas casas foram construídas nos campos. Novos proprietários têm empreendido extensas remodelações no edifício. Em 2008, os actuais proprietários lançaram uma organização de restauro de jardim sem fins lucrativos chamada The Emes Society ("A Sociedade Emes" em homenagem a William Emes) com a intenção de cuidar dos 40.000 m2 (10 acres) de jardins e desenvolvê-los para o século XXI, com dias de abertura ao público incluindo, por exemplo, um Bluebell Walk. A parte formal do jardim inclui um magnífico Cedro do Líbano plantado por William Barron. Ligações externas Betley Conservation Area Appraisal Imagens de Inglaterra: Betley Court
Bettison's Folly

Bettison's Folly is a tower in Hornsea, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Also referred to as Bettisons Tower and the Forgotten Folly, it was built some time between 1829 and 1853 by William Bettison. At the time, Bettison was a Hull-based brewer who built the folly in what was then his garden. In those days communication was by sight, so his manservant would ascend the tower at the usual time his master returned from work, see him descending Southorpe hill and run down the tower to ensure "dinner was served" as the master walked into the house. It incorporates a cranked up flagpole, initially installed to convey private messages. During the Second World War the tower was an air raid look-out point and siren (Hull was the most heavily bombed UK city after London). The siren was still in use in the late 1950s when a new siren was erected on the new fire station on Southgate. The Folly is decorated with locally made "treacle" bricks, highly fired for durability and subject to misshaping. Nowadays, Bettison's Folly is a Grade II listed building and stands in the middle of a new housing estate off Newbegin, the main street. It is rarely open to the public. In 2011, Huffington Post included the folly in their unordered list of the "Top 10 Pieces of Folly Architecture". References External links British History: Hornsea Historic England.
