Пофарбована палата

Пофарбована палата (англ. Painted Chamber) — була частиною первісного Вестмінстерського палацу в Лондоні. Вона була знищена пожежею в 1834 році. Тому що палата була спочатку королівською резиденцією, — палац не мав жодної спеціально побудованої палати для двох Палат. Важливі державні церемонії, в тому числі Державне відкриття сесії парламенту, проводилися в Пофарбованій палаті. Палата лордів, як правило, зустрічалася в Білій палаті. Палата громад, однак, не мала власну палату; іноді проводила свої дебати в головному будинку Вестмінстерського абатства, поки постійний будинок в каплиці колишнього Святого Стефана не став доступним в XVI столітті. У процесі суду над королем Англії Карлом I, для показань свідків викликали на слухання в Пофарбовану палату, а не в Вестмінстер-Холл. Посилання
Pakefield High School

Pakefield High School is a co-educational secondary school located in Pakefield, a suburb of Lowestoft in the English county of Suffolk. The school opened in September 2011, initially with Years 7 and 8 only, using buildings which were previously Pakefield Middle School. The school became the first new state high school to be built in Suffolk for over 20 years as part of the reorganisation of schools in Lowestoft, a process which saw the closure of eight middle schools and a change from transfer to high school at age 13 to transfer at age 11. The school caters for around 900 students aged from 11 to 16 and cost £26.5 million to build. It was expected to open in September 2010, although this was delayed due to the discovery of Great Crested Newts on the school site. Perry Linsley, formerly head of Stradbroke Business and Enterprise College, was the school's first Headteacher. In January 2016 Linsley announced that he would be leaving the school at Easter 2016 to take up the position of Principal in a new school in Dubai. From September 2016 through to December 2020, Mr Anthony Walker took on the role of Headteacher, overseeing the school's transition to Academy status, before relocating to The Falkland Islands to work within the Senior Leadership Team of his new school. The current Acting Head of School is Mr Dan Bagshaw, who had previously undertaken the role of Senior Deputy Headteacher within the school. History Building took place on the site of the former Pakefield Middle School. The government Office of the Schools Adjudicator approved the reorganisation proposal with the recommendation that integrated plans be proposed for the entire site, including Pakefield Primary School. Building work on the site was delayed in May 2010 when great crested newts, a protected species, were discovered on the site. As a result, Year 9 pupils who were expected to transfer to the school in September 2011 were required to join to one of the other high schools in Lowestoft. Year 7 and 8 pupils used the Middle School buildings in 2011-2012 until the site was completed. Building work was expected to be complete by September 2012, although funding caused problems for the building project. There was local opposition to the plan to build at Pakefield. Concerns were raised over the size of the site and issues relating to traffic in the area as well as mixing of children from as young as 3 to 16 at the same location. Sites at either Elm Tree Middle School or Gisleham Middle School were proposed as alternatives. Previously a foundation school administered by Suffolk County Council, in April 2019 Pakefield High School converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the Clarion Academy Trust.

Pakenham Windmill

Pakenham Mill is a Grade II* listed tower mill at Pakenham, Suffolk, England which has been restored and is maintained in working order. History Pakenham Mill was built in 1831. Clement Goodrich was the miller in 1846, when he took on an apprentice. The mill came into the ownership of the Bryant family in 1885. A steam engine was used as auxiliary power. In 1947, the mill was nearly tail-winded, but the miller managed to turn the cap in time to avoid this happening. The mill was restored in 1950, with a new weatherbeam fitted by Amos Clarke, the Ipswich millwright. At this time the swing-pot neck bearing from Buxhall mill was installed. A second-hand stock from Thurston post mill was fitted at this time and a gallery constructed around the cap. The gallery was based on that at Wendover mill, Buckinghamshire. New sails were also fitted. Further restoration took place in 1961, aided by grants from Suffolk County Council, the Ministry of Works. The work was conditional on the Bryant family continuing to work the mill. The restoration work was carried out by R Thompson & Sons Ltd, millwrights of Alford, Lincolnshire. The copper covered cap was rebuilt and clad in aluminium for maintenance reasons. A new stock and two new sails were made, and the fantail rebuilt. The mill was struck by lightning in June 1971, a stock being split and a sail damaged. The sack chain saved the mill from being burnt down by giving a route for the lightning to earth. When the mill was repaired, a lightning conductor was added to the mill. The most recent restoration of Pakenham windmill was completed in May 2000. The £60,000 cost of the work was 80% funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The work was carried out by Thompson's of Alford. Description Pakenham Mill is a five storey tower mill. It has a domed cap with a gallery and is winded by a fantail. Two of the three pairs of millstones remain. The governors for the millstones are driven by chains instead of the more usual belt. Millers Clement Goodrich 1846 Bryant 1885 - John Bryant - 1947 Public access The mill is open to the public daily "during working hours" for individuals, and by appointment for parties. It is open on both Saturday and Sunday of National Mills Weekend from 14:00 to 17:30. Culture and media Pakenham windmill appeared in the short film And now they rest released in 1938. Pakenham windmill appeared in a short film used by the BBC in the 1950s for interludes between programmes. Pakenham windmill appeared in The Peacemaker, the seventh episode of the third series of Survivors made in 1977 for television. References External links Windmill World webpage on Pakenham Mill.
Palace Hotel, Bristol

The Palace Hotel (also known as "The Gin Palace") is a historic pub in Bristol, England. A grade II listed building, it is part of the Old Market Conservation area. Its exterior ornamentation includes two hermai in the Assyrian-style. History The Palace Hotel was built in 1869 for the wine and spirits merchant John Sharp. At that time it was thought that a new Great Western Railway main station was going to be established nearby. For that reason it was to be called the 'Railway Hotel', but Isambard Kingdom Brunel's Temple Meads station was built half a mile south, so trade was less than expected. A smaller Midland Railway terminus station, Bristol St Philip's, opened nearby but was closed in 1953 and subsequently demolished. The bar has a sloping floor. In 2000 Thomas Brooman, co-founder and managing director of World of Music, Arts and Dance took charge of the Palace. He spent much time and money bringing the place up to the high standard for which it is worthy but after five years decided it was time to move on. The Palace closed its doors in mid-2005 and was sold. The following year the new owner submitted a planning application to change its use to an estate agent's office. In August 2008, further applications were pending, with vigorous counter-moves to restore it to a pub. In November 2008 it was announced that the owners of the Bristol Bear Bar across the road had bought the lease and, following a period of decoration in which maintenance of the pub's original features was a priority, it is now up and running as a pub. It is currently (as of August 2017) operating as a gay venue, trading as 'The Gin Palace'. In March 2018 it closed it doors again, and hasn't opened since. References
Palace Theatre, Redditch

The Palace Theatre is a Grade II listed theatre in Redditch in Worcestershire, England. It opened in 1913 and has been primarily used as a theatre, but also as a cinema, rollerskating rink and bingo hall. History The theatre opened in 1913, with a capacity of 660. It was designed by Bertie Crewe with a Neo-classical interior. The theatre was split into a circular balcony with stalls above. In 1939, the theatre closed at the onset of World War II, but quickly re-opened. It closed in 1954 and was redeveloped as a rollerskating rink, opening the following year. It was used as a dance hall from 1959, and subsequently as a bingo hall. The premises were acquired by Redditch Urban District Council in 1967. The building was later modified. The premises re-opened exclusively as a theatre on 11 September 1971 by the Secretary of State for the Environment, Peter Walker. An extension on the south east side housing a new foyer opened the same year, while a former factory at the back of the theatre was converted into a set of dressing rooms in 1976. Since 1985, the building has been run by Redditch Borough Council. It was Grade II listed in 1996. In 2005, the theatre was restored to its original state. Funds and grants were provided by Redditch Borough Council (£3M), and £920,500 as part of a £4 million scheme from The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). The theatre's original seats have been retained and reupholstered. Performances The Palace building was initially used for a variety of uses, including theatre and cinema. In 1930, it became known as the Palace Super Cinema. After re-opened in 1940, focusing again on a mix of cinema and variety. Since 1971, it has been used exclusively as a theatre. The theatre hosts a programme of touring comedy, drama, plays, and an annual pantomime and since 1971 has been the home base of the Redditch Operatic Society.

Palatine Bridge, Salford

Palatine Bridge is a wrought-iron road bridge in Greater Manchester. Opened in 1864 and rebuilt in 1911, it crosses the River Irwell between Salford and Manchester. History Background A bridge between Chapel Street in Salford and Hunts Bank in Manchester was first proposed in 1858, as a means of improving road links between Salford and Manchester Victoria station, each separated by the River Irwell. When the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway applied to Parliament to build a railway link between Salford (New Bailey Street) station and Victoria, Salford Corporation opposed the bill, citing the township's poor access to Victoria Station. The railway company was forced by parliamentary committee to compensate the Corporation to the tune of £25,000, to be used to improve the aforementioned transport links. Construction and design The land required on Chapel Street for the Salford approach to the proposed bridge was donated by Samuel Brooks, who as part of the deal insisted that a 150 feet (46 m) abutment was built on the Salford bank of the river, to improve the rateable value of nearby properties. Designed by W. Radford, Palatine Bridge comprises a single span (125 feet (38 m) on the south side, 88 feet (27 m) on the north side), built from twelve wrought-iron box girders attached to stone abutments. Fixed to these girders, wrought-iron road joints support iron covering plates, which themselves support the pavements and road surface, the latter formed from 4 inches (10 cm) granite cubes. The gradient 1 in 30. The bridge parapets are cast iron and terminate in stone blocks. W. and J. Galloway supplied the ironwork, while A. Pilling supplied the road surface and masonry. The total cost was about £20,000. Toll-free, the bridge was opened on 24 August 1864 by the ex-mayor of Salford, James Worrall. Repairs By 1908 the bridge's condition had deteriorated to a point where the ends of some of its corroded girders could be "turned up like bits of tin." There was some argument as to who should pay for the bridge to be repaired; a clause in the original Act requires that Salford maintain the structure in perpetuity, and Manchester therefore refused to contribute any funds. A bill sent to Parliament by Salford, to enable it to undertake the work required, contains a clause forcing Manchester to contribute half the cost, but this was struck out by a parliamentary committee. Repairs and strengthening work were made in 1911, by Heenan and Froude of Newton Heath. See also Victoria Bridge, Manchester Blackfriars Bridge, Manchester Albert Bridge, Manchester References Notes

Pallinsburn House

Pallinsburn House is an 18th-century country house situated at Crookham, Northumberland. It is a Grade II* listed building. The house was built about 1763, in a Jacobean style originally with a three-storey frontage, for John Askew, (High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1776), a younger son of Dr Adam Askew of Storrs Hall. The Askew family occupied the house until it was sold in 1911 to Major Charles Mitchell DSO, the grandson of the wealthy Tyneside shipbuilder, Charles Mitchell. Over the years, Major Mitchell carried out extensive improvements and alterations. In 1933 work was begun to remove the third storey of the central block. While this work was carried out, The Mitchells moved to Morris Hall, Norham. The house was sold in 2005 together with 1,500 acres (6.1 km2) for £6.5 million. The contents were sold at auction the following year and realised £840,000. The name of the small river, burn in Scots, is said to derive from Saint Paulinus baptising people of the region.

Palmer Park, Reading

Palmer Park is a public park in Reading, England. The land for the park was given to the town by the proprietors of the Huntley & Palmers biscuit firm and it contains a statue of George Palmer. The park in turn gives its name to Park ward of the Borough of Reading, which surrounds it. In 1882, the land was used for that year's Royal Agricultural Show, on one of its two visits to the town. In 1889, the initial 21 acres (8.5 ha) of land was transferred to the town by the proprietors of Huntley & Palmers. It was extended to 49 acres in 1891, and the full park was opened on 4 November 1891. The park and pavilion were designed by architect, William Ravenscroft. The Park was the venue for the 1927 WAAA Championships, held on 9 July 1927. Popular with local residents for various activities, it often hosts religious festivals, sports tournaments and small special events. In the past, Carter's Steam Fair visited the park every year. However, they had to suspend the annual event due to the discovery of ground subsidence in the park in 2001. Chalk mines were found underneath the park and the weight of the fairground rides posed a great danger. The areas affected have now been shored up and compacted to stop any incident from occurring and the Fair is visiting again. Park facilities The park also contains Palmer Park Stadium, a velodrome and athletics stadium. Included in the park are Palmer Park Library, Palmer Park Bowling Club, two playgrounds, a community cafe and a number of football pitches which are used every week for local matches. During the summer months, some of the goal posts are removed to make way for a cricket pitch.

Palmer Park Stadium

Palmer Park Stadium is located in Palmer Park, Reading. It contains an outdoor velodrome and an athletics stadium. Set in acres of parkland, the stadium provides a focal point for a variety of indoor and outdoor leisure activities. Clubs Palmer Park has several clubs who use the facilities: Berkshire Renegades an American Football team for training Reading Athletic Club Reading Roadrunners Palmer Park Velo Velodrome The velodrome was originally built at the turn of the 20th century, making it one of the oldest in the country. It has hosted weekly track leagues throughout the summer and many national events and championships such as the British National Derny Championships. 459 metres in length, it has been described as one of the country's best asphalt track surfaces, although until 1955 when it was resurfaced, it was a loose red shale which meant riders often slid sideways in the bankings. The velodrome was closed in 2002 due to subsidence, as the track was built on the location of some old chalk pits. Reading Borough Council had the dips filled and the track surface refurbished for the start of the 2003 season. Palmer Park Velo cycling club is based at the velodrome, it caters for children between the ages of 4 and 18. Past members of Palmer Park Velo include John Paul, who in August 2011 won the World Junior Track Sprint Championship. Other past members include the female professional riders Hannah Barnes and Harriet Owen. In March 2015 British Cycling issued a statement indicating that they had assessed the track as being unfit for racing, and that they would not sanction competition at the velodrome for the foreseeable future, although it could still be used for training purposes. However the track was approved for racing one month later after repairs and other changes to fencing were made.
