Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge

The Department of Earth Sciences at Cambridge is the University of Cambridge's Earth Sciences department. First formed around 1731, the department incorporates the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences. History The department's history can be traced back to 1731 when the 1st Woodwardian Professor of Geology was appointed, in accordance with the bequest of John Woodward. The present Department of Earth Sciences was formed by an amalgamation of the Department of Geology, Department of Geodesy and Geophysics and the Department of Mineralogy and Petrology in 1980. When the three departments were amalgamated the Chair of Geophysics and Chair of Mineralogy and Petrology, along with the Woodwardian Professorship, were assigned to the newly formed Department of Earth Sciences. The main location of the department is at the Downing Site, Downing St. The Bullard Laboratories, located in West Cambridge on Madingley Rd is a satellite department of the main building. The department incorporates the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences and the Godwin Laboratory. The department is the home of the Sedgwick Club, which was founded in memory of Adam Sedgwick in 1880, and is the oldest student run geological society in the world.

Observatoire de l'université de Londres

L'observatoire de l'université de Londres est un observatoire astronomique situé à Mill Hill (en), Londres. Il est géré par le département de physique et d'astronomie de l'University College de Londres (UCL). Utilisé principalement à des fins éducatives, on y effectue également de la recherche concernant, notamment, l'observation de transit astronomique d'exoplanètes. L'observatoire héberge le télescope Fry de 8 pouces (20,32 cm), les télescopes Radcliffe (18 et 24 po / 45,72 et 60,96 cm) et le télescope Allen (24 po / 60,96 cm). En plus de ces derniers, il compte également deux Celestron de 14 po (35,56 cm) qui sont sous dômes, ainsi que d'autres télescopes plus petits. Histoire L'observatoire a été ouvert le 8 octobre 1929 par l'Astronome royal Frank Watson Dyson. Il était d'abord conçu pour recevoir le télescope de 24 pouces (60,96 cm) de l'observatoire du Dr W. E. Wilson (en) à Daramona, en Irlande, légué après la mort de celui-ci à l'université de Londres. En 1930, l'université reçoit un autre télescope, cette fois de 8 pouces, donné par H. R. Fry de Barnett. Il est installé à l'observatoire en 1931. En juillet 1938, l'observatoire est agrandi pour qu'il puisse accueillir les deux télescopes de 18 et 24 pouces retirés de l'observatoire Radcliffe en 1934. En 1951, le contrôle de l'observatoire passe des mains de l'université de Londres à celles d'UCL. Au cours des dix années suivantes, elle y aménage de l'espace pour une bibliothèque, de l'enseignement et des laboratoires. En 1974, le télescope de Wilson originel est donné aux musées Merseyside. Il est remplacé l'année suivante par un nouveau télescope de 24 pouces de type Richey-Chrétien. Ce dernier est nommé C. W. Allen en l'honneur d'un ancien directeur de l'observatoire. En janvier 2014, une équipe de l'observatoire fait la découverte de SN 2014J.

Unnamed Eyot

Ferry eyot is an island in the River Thames in Berkshire, England, north of the village of Wargrave, Berkshire, its parish in civil terms and ecclesiastical parish in the Church of England. It is on the reach above Marsh Lock. The 2.378-acre (0.962 ha) low-lying narrow island, wooded and about 200m long, has a tennis court and internally a large fish pond which reduces its area but was excavated between 1907 and 2000 to help build up its level, being next to a broad area equipped with designated flood-meadows known as Wargrave Marsh. Immediately above it is where the river is joined by the Loddon draining an area larger than central Berkshire. Immediately below and on the banks on this reach the keeping of extensive centuries-established flood meadows, once used more widely for pasture than today – more are used as gardens today in Berkshire than as farmland – means the extra flows are evened out so as not to cause flash flooding to Henley and all towns below. It is separated by a thin navigable channel used for mooring against the east (Wargrave) bank, and accessible by a footbridge, being part of the grounds of a private house. The ait is the largest example which is part of one owner's garden below Oxford. The Ordnance Survey shows no name for the island. The island is named Ferry Eyot in Chris Cove-Smith's book for river users . See also Islands in the River Thames References
Unthank Hall

Unthank Hall is a Grade II listed property now serving as commercial offices, situated on the southern bank of the River South Tyne east of Plenmeller, near Haltwhistle, Northumberland. In the 16th century the manor was owned by the Ridley family and it is possible that the bishop and martyr Nicholas Ridley was born there. The house, which was built in the 16th century, incorporating an ancient pele tower, was substantially remodelled and extended in 1815. The Hall came into the ownership of the Dixon family of Belford Hall, and then by marriage to the Browns. Dixon Brown (1776–1852) changed his name in 1825 to Dixon Dixon. The house was substantially remodelled in 1815. His nephew Rev Dixon Dixon Brown [JP, DL, MA] (1826-1901) rebuilt the Hall between 1862 and 1865, in a neo-Tudor style, both times by Newcastle architect John Dobson. Dixon Dixon Brown was educated at Rugby and Exeter College, Oxford. He sold Unthank Hall in 1897. Much of the 1865 house was demolished by further alterations in 1900, and a significant reduction in size was made in 1965. See also Hadrian's Wall References External links Keys to the Past
Up Holland High School

Up Holland High School is a coeducational secondary school located in Up Holland, Lancashire, England. It is a non-denominational comprehensive school. History A recommendation for construction of the school was made in 1958, with an expected cost of over £110,000. The cost was higher than a previous estimate due to additional work needed on the foundations following ground testing. The new school officially opened as Up Holland County Secondary School in September 1960, with an intake of 462 students. For about four years prior to opening, the school had been temporarily based in adapted buildings of the former Up Holland Grammar School, next to where the new school was being constructed.

Uplands Academy

Uplands Academy (formerly Uplands Community College) is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form located in Wadhurst, East Sussex, England. History It is rumoured that the school was built on the grounds of a large family house called Uplands. Uplands was purchased by Taverner Barrington Miller for about £5000 in about 1918. The house was requisitioned by the army during World War II and was demolished shortly afterwards. The school originally was built during the mid 20th century and has been developed greatly over the years. The college has a block-based architecture and layout. The oldest of these blocks (which was replaced in 2021) houses the: main hall, staff room, school offices and classrooms. Other buildings in the school include the 'Creative Arts Building'; the Science Building, named after an Uplands science teacher, Mr Goodwin; The James building, (originally called the IL Block but was renamed in 2021); and the newest building, built to replace the oldest “main building" (named after a staff member who helped get the financing for the building “the Hanson building”); there is also a sports centre building providing public facilities as well as the school's P.E. dept. In 1999, maths teacher Romilda Scannelli won the secondary teacher of the year award at the 1999 National Teaching Awards ceremony. Jayne Edmonds retired at the end of the 2011–2012 academic year from being Head after 8 years. In September 2012, Liam Collins took over from Jayne Edmonds as Headteacher. After Liam Collins departure from the school Mrs. Justine Mountford was appointed Head from January 2019. After Mountford's appointment, the college began pushing for a new block for the school. In 2019, Uplands secured the grant to build a new building. On 23 September 2019, ground was broken and construction began on the building. After a year of construction, the new building was opened to students. The block is now named the Hanson building after Mrs S. Hanson, the Director of Finance, who was instrumental in securing the grant for the new building. In July 2020, head of English Susie Wolfe was recognized as "secondary school teacher of the year" and Ms Julie Nicholls was awarded for her excellent leadership in the SEN department. Previously a community school administered by East Sussex County Council, In September 2022 Uplands Community College converted to academy status and was renamed Uplands Academy. With this shift, the academy experienced a change of leadership: Ms Anna Robinson took over as principal. The school is now sponsored by the Mark Education Trust. Sports Centre Uplands Sports Centre is attached to Uplands Community College. This is a "not-for-profit" centre with a gym and treatment room; the centre runs fitness classes. During the school day, the facilities are used by the PE department and the UCC students. References External links Uplands Academy official website
Uplands School, Poole

Uplands School was a co-educational independent school based in the coastal town of Poole, Dorset on the south coast of England. It consisted of a junior school (ages 2–11) and a senior school (ages 11–16). In 2009, the school merged with Wentworth College. The merger of the two schools formed Bournemouth Collegiate School whose principal is Maria Coulter. The junior school is situated at the old Uplands site and the senior school at Wentworth. This new school falls under the umbrella of CATS Global Schools, after it was purchased from United Learning Trust in 2018 it is now privately owned. History The School on the site in St Osmunds Road began as the Bourne School for Girls in the old Sandecotes Manor as a select girls boarding school. They built School House, which was completed in 1895 and this building today houses the junior hall and the classrooms above it. In 1900, Lord Wimborne bought Bourne School and it became Sandecotes School, and in 1903 a sister school was opened in St Leonards-on-Sea in Sussex which was called Uplands. At both schools pupils were trained to be practical, refined and cultured and were encouraged to enter universities, medical schools and hospitals. The Schools continued through the First World War, raising funds for the Red Cross and entertaining wounded soldiers, but at the break of World War II it was decided to take Uplands away from the danger threatening England's channel ports by moving to Monmouthshire. Meanwhile, in Parkstone, the Sandecotes School was struggling and the Church Education Corporation decided to close it rather than evacuate it to another area. During the war the School was occupied by the 2nd Battalion the Grenadier Guards and also by American soldiers as they prepared for the D-Day landings. In 1946 it was decided to move Uplands from Monmouthshire to the vacated Sandecotes buildings. The School continued as a girls boarding and day school, but in 1973 the old buildings were proving too costly and the School faced closure until Edith Cooper Dean stepped in to support it. The top site was sold off and new school buildings were built. The School became co-educational and also started a junior School, laying the foundation for joining UCST and merging with Wentworth College in 2009.

Upminster Tithe Barn

The Upminster Tithe Barn is a historic building and scheduled monument located in Upminster in the London Borough of Havering, London, England. It is a medieval agricultural building originating from around 1450. It was used as a grange barn until the dissolution of the Monasteries in 1540. Passing into private ownership, agricultural use continued up until the suburbanisation of the area in the 20th century. It has been in local authority ownership since 1937. It was used to house a small museum from 1976 to 2024. As of June 2025, the building is vacant and under renovation. History Agricultural use It was believed that the medieval barn was built around 1450 and this has been confirmed by dendrochronology of the timbers. It belonged to Hall Farm that was part of the manor of Upminster Hall. It was owned by Waltham Abbey until the dissolution of the Monasteries in 1540 and then passed through secular owners. There is no evidence it was ever used as a tithe barn and grange barn would be a more accurate description. The barn and around 30 acres around it were sold to Hornchurch Urban District Council in 1937. In 1965 the roof was rethatched and ownership passed to Havering London Borough Council. It was listed as a scheduled monument in November 1971. 1975–6 renovation A fire in 1973 damaged part of the roof. Rethatching repairs were undertaken by February 1975. The building was then repaired and converted from agricultural to museum use in renovations completed in February 1976. Museum The agricultural museum occupied the barn from 1 May 1976. It was run in a partnership between Havering Council and the Hornchurch and District Historical Society. It opened twelve days a year from 1976. The museum closed in January 2024. As of June 2025, it is not clear if the museum will return to the building. 2025 renovation The building was added to the Heritage at Risk Register by Historic England in 2023, with the thatched roof requiring urgent work. In January 2024 Havering Council received a grant of £650,000 from National Highways for repairs. Historic England provided a grant of £97,664. The restoration work was completed in June 2025. Further funding was required for toilets and heating in order for the building to open to the public, a condition of the 2024 grant. Visitor access As of June 2025, the building is not open to the public. Upminster station is the nearest National Rail, London Underground and London Overground station. The building is served by London Buses route 248 and London Buses route 346. Notes References External links Official website
