Arighi Bianchi

Arighi Bianchi is a furniture shop in Macclesfield, Cheshire, England, founded in 1854 by Italian immigrants Antonio Arighi and Antonio Bianchi who originated from the village of Casnate on the shores of Lake Como. The shop is a Grade II* listed building. It has a cast iron and glass frontage, and stands close to Macclesfield railway station. The four-storey shop front, inspired by Paxton’s Crystal Palace of 1851, was the work of a local builder George Roylance. It was saved from demolition in 1973 after a campaign supported by the Victorian Society, the Architectural Review magazine and John Betjeman. History Arighi Bianchi (pronounced a-ree-ghee bee-an-key) has been involved with furniture for over 150 years. In 1854 Antonio Arighi left the tiny silk-weaving town of Casnate near Lake Como to escape the ravages of the Italian civil war. After crossing the Alps by toboggan, Antonio arrived in Macclesfield, Cheshire. Antonio was soon joined by his nephew Antonio Bianchi, and the two men swiftly set up in business as cabinet makers. The 19th century progressed not without incident, with Arighi's intervention helping to save the town from flooding in 1872 and the decision to move to the current site in 1883. In the early 20th century, the store supplied furniture to Marlborough House and Sandringham House, by Royal Appointment of Edward VII, Queen Alexandra and Queen Mary.

Arkley Lane and Pastures

Arkley Lane and Pastures is a 50-hectare (120-acre) Site of Borough Importance for Nature Conservation, Grade II, in Arkley in the London Borough of Barnet. Arkley Lane, off Barnet Road, is an old drovers' road. Located on the Barnet Plateau, it is now a quiet country lane with a traditional bank and ditch. The thick hedges are composed of beech and hornbeam, ash, field maple and magnificent old pedunculate oaks. The hedge flora are dominated by cow parsley, and the ditches have wetland flowers including water figwort and wild angelica. A small adjacent woodland, which is probably ancient, has nesting birds, including sparrowhawks, willow warblers and stock doves. Muntjac deer are often seen there. The fields on either side of the lane are traditionally managed, some grazed by horses and others managed as hay meadows. Three fields which have escaped agricultural improvement support wild flowers typical of old grassland, such as sneezewort and pignut. There is only public access to the lane itself. The tarmacked road continues as a bridleway beyond the Barnet boundary to Saffron Green Meadows in Hertfordshire and to the A1 road.

Arkwright House, Manchester

Arkwright House is a Grade II listed building at Parsonage Gardens in Manchester, England. Designed by Harry S. Fairhurst, it was completed in 1929 for the English Sewing Cotton Company. The building is constructed in a Neoclassical style with some Art Deco motifs. Arkwright House was heavily damaged in the 1992 Manchester bombing and needed work to repair the building. It is marked by its giant Corinthian order columns and the use of Portland stone as the exterior. The building has been described as "sinister" by one architecture critic, suggesting it shares some similarities with Nazi architecture where classical buildings were preferred. Hartwell describes the front façade facing Parsonage Gardens as architecturally "impressive". As of 2023, Arkwright House is a multi-tenanted office building.

Arlington Reservoir

Arlington Reservoir is a 100.4-hectare (248-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest west of Hailsham in East Sussex, England. It is also a Local Nature Reserve and it is owned and managed by South East Water. Wildlife The site is of ornithological interest, with over 1% of the total UK wintering wigeon being populated within the site. Alder Alnus glutinosa and willow Salix species are part of the open water. The site is also home to a scrub of hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna). A large jetty juts into the water a few hundred yards away from a water treatment building. The reservoir was originally created by damming the River Cuckmere, which previously meandered to the middle of the present-day reservoir. The Cuckmere is now channelled in a straight line just to the east. Located on the northwest bank of the reservoir is the Osprey Birdhide. It is a popular place to view the population of cormorants which regularly visit to rest on the banks and trees surrounding the water. Other species include great crested grebe, swallow, mallard, pied wagtail, coot, Canada goose, rook, and sheep graze in the surrounding water meadows. Black swans, presumably escapees from captivity can often be seen on the water. References External links Reservoir level from South East Water Natural England Arlington Reservoir citation

Armathwaite Castle

Armathwaite Castle ist eine ehemalige Burg und ein Herrenhaus im Dorf Armathwaite in der englischen Grafschaft Cumbria. Die originale Burg an den Ufern des Flusses Eden wurde im 15. Jahrhundert errichtet, um sich gegen schottische Überfälle zu schützen. Später wurde sie in ein Herrenhaus umgebaut und ist heute von English Heritage als historisches Gebäude II*. Grades gelistet. Details Armathwaite Castle ließ im 15. Jahrhundert die Familie Skelton am Westufer des Flusses Eden errichten. Vermutlich erteilte John Skelton den Auftrag für das dann 1445 fertiggestellte Gebäude. Es handelte sich um einen vierstöckigen Peel Tower, der das Edental vor schottischen Überfällen schützen sollte. 1712 fiel die Burg an die Familie Sanderson. Robert Sanderson machte sie zu einem Zentrum seiner Sammlung von Antiquitäten und Relikte. Später war die Familie Milbourne Eigentümer und ab 1846 William Lowther, der Earl of Lonsdale. Ende des 18. und im 19. Jahrhundert wurde die Burg in ein Herrenhaus umgebaut, das mit Werkstein verkleidet in klassizistischem Stil erbaut wurde. Auch wurde ein Flügel für Büros angebaut. Heute ist das Herrenhaus in privater Hand. Einzelnachweise
Armathwaite Castle

Armathwaite Castle is in the village of Armathwaite, Cumbria, England, by the River Eden. Originally built to defend against Scottish raiders in the 15th century, it was converted into a mansion and today is a Grade II* listed building. Details Armathwaite Castle was built in the 15th century on a strong point along the west side of the River Eden by the Skelton family. Although the precise date of its construction cannot be ascertained it was most probably constructed by John Skelton in 1445. The Skelton family appears to have been a well known family, being the representatives of the county and the city of Carlisle at the parliament. The castle was a four-storied pele tower with the facade constructed from hewn stone and protected the Eden valley from Scottish raiders. The castle estate also includes a Benedictine nunnery called Nun's Close. The founder of this nunnery is now known, with some sources naming William Rufus, while other disagreeing and stating that he founded a religious house at the nunnery, not the nunnery itself. The Skeltons resided at the castle till 1712, when Richard Skelton sold the castle to William Sanderson. Robert Sanderson Milbourne (1660–1741), inherited the castle from his brother in 1727. Robert was assistant to Thomas Rymer in preparing the massive 20-volume Foedera (a compilation of treaties between England and foreign states from 1066 to 1654), and he made the castle the centre of a collection of antiquities and relics. It passed to the Milbournes and in 1846 onto William Lowther, the 2nd Earl of Lonsdale. It was reported in 1892 that the castle had fallen into disrepair. In the early 19th century the castle was converted into a mansion, faced with ashlar cut stone in a classical style, with an adjacent wing for offices. Today the castle is privately owned. Fire: On 23 July 2026 the castle was severely damaged by a fire.

Arnfield Reservoir

Arnfield Reservoir is a man-made lake in Longdendale in north Derbyshire, England. It was constructed in 1854 as part of the Longdendale chain to supply water from the River Etherow to the urban areas of Greater Manchester. Unlike the other reservoirs in the chain, Arnfield and Hollingworth Reservoir are not in the Etherow valley but lie in the valley of tributary brooks to the north and above (Arnfield lies around 1 mile from Bottoms Reservoir in the Longdendale Chain). From Arnfield the water is extracted to pass through the Mottram Tunnel to Godley. The Manchester Corporation Waterworks Act 1847 (10 & 11 Vict. c. cciii) gave permission for the construction of the Woodhead, Arnfield and Hollingworth Reservoirs and an aqueduct to convey waters to a service reservoir at Godley. The Manchester Corporation Waterworks Amendment Act 1848 (11 & 12 Vict. c. ci) allowed the construction of Torside and Rhodeswood Reservoirs, and an aqueduct to convey the water to the Arnfield reservoir. The earthen embankment is 17 metres (56 ft) high and the five sections total 953 m (3,127 ft) in length. It was constructed of local clay; a masonry overflow weir protects the reservoir from overtopping. Beneath it lay the trapezoidal Longdendale aqueduct that followed the contour to take water from the reservoirs to the Godley reservoir. Until the 1960s, water was treated by passing it through straining frames at Godley. In the 1960s, a more sophisticated system of treatment was employed. Treatment plants were built at Arnfield and Godley. At Arnfield, lime, ferric sulphate and polyelectrolyte are added to the water in mixing chambers. This flocculating agent binds together the impurities, which sink and are removed in sedimentation tanks. At Godley, lime is added to remove manganese, and the water is filtered and chlorinated and fed into the distribution network. Also in the 1960s, part of the Longdendale aqueduct was replaced with 1,200 mm (47 in) diameter pipes. In 1990, the Hollingworth Reservoir (now part of Swallows Wood nature reserve) was decommissioned and levelled and waters from the Ogden Brook fed into Arnfield. In 2004, two sections of the embankment were strengthened. See also Hollingworth Reservoir List of dams and reservoirs in United Kingdom References
