George Hotel

Le George Hotel est un hôtel d'Huddersfield dans le Yorkshire de l'Ouest en Angleterre. Il est célèbre, car il est le lieu qui donne officiellement naissance au rugby à XIII en 1895. Construit en 1851, l'hôtel compte alors avec soixante chambres et est classé trois étoiles. Il est fermé en janvier 2013 et racheté en 2020 par le Conseil local. Il possède une façade à l'italienne conçu par William Walker lors de l'ère victorienne autour de 1851. En 2020, le bâtiment est racheté par le conseil de Kirklees dans le cadre du projet de régénération Huddersfield Blueprint. Le monument abritera le musée de la Rugby League. Naissance du rugby à XIII C'est dans cet hôtel le 29 août 1895 que vingt-et-un clubs du Lancashire et du Yorkshire se réunissent et votent par une majorité de vingt clubs à un vote de faire sécession du Rugby Football Union pour créer la Northern Rugby Football Union. En 1922, cette dernière devient la Rugby Football League. Au sous-sol de l'hôtel, à l'instigation du présentateur sportif Mike Stephenson, se trouve l'unique musée sur le rugby à XIII anglais. Ouvert le 30 août 2005, ce musée a été inauguré par les anciens joueurs Billy Boston, Neil Fox et Mick Sullivan. Des expositions de souvenirs, notamment de maillots rares, de médailles, de casquettes, de programmes ou de photographies, ont été organisées. Le 24 juin 2020, Rugby League Cares a annoncé un partenariat avec le Conseil de Kirklees pour créer un musée national de la Ligue de rugby dans le George Hotel.

George Stephenson High School

George Stephenson High School is a coeducational secondary school located in Killingworth, North Tyneside, England. History Grammar school It was called the George Stephenson Grammar School in 1953, at which time it was built on Benton Lane (the Great Lime Road) in West Moor. (George Stephenson lived nearby in a cottage when he worked at Killingworth Colliery.) The current school site in Killingworth is a replacement that opened in 1956, and was originally known as Killingworth High School, a comprehensive, but eventually took the George Stephenson name from the old school. The headmaster since the opening of the old school in 1953 was Tom W. King, BA. He became headmaster of the new school and finally retired in 1980. When he died in 2010 at the age of 94, a plaque reading "Here, from 1956 to 2004, stood a Place of Learning" was placed on the wall of the West Moor Residents Association Community Centre, which now stands on the site of the old grammar school. The popularity of the grammar school was such that it had expanded over the years from about 350 pupils (the capacity of the original main building) to about 600 (by the addition of prefabricated classrooms at the rear of the school). Until 1970 the school had regular morning assemblies for all pupils. The school hymn was "Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer". The school motto was Praesis Ut Prosis, "Lead in order to serve." Comprehensive It became a comprehensive school in 1970 with the move from the West Moor site to the Killingworth site. The school was rated Good by Ofsted in November 2019.

Iron Duke, Great Yarmouth

The Iron Duke is grade II listed public house in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England. It was designed by A. W. Ecclestone in the late 1930s and completed in 1948. Building work started in the Art Deco period; however, work was halted due to the outbreak of World War II. Despite being unfinished, a Special Licence was granted so that the Iron Duke could serve the troops stationed locally. The bars in the pub are made from teak taken from the First World War battleship HMS Iron Duke, which was captained by Admiral John Jellicoe at the Battle of Jutland. The pub was decorated with murals of the battle. The pub, listed as Grade II, now has a campaign to be restored. The pub is owned by Bourne Leisure, who has kept the pub closed for twenty years to prevent a rivel venue from opening next to their camp. Ecclestone was a skilled architect, and Lacons employed had an army of master builders. Everything was done in-house. The Iron Duke was built as their flagship pub. An attempt to de-list and demolish the pub was made in 2018 by the owners of a neighbouring holiday park. Though Norfolk County Council made no objection, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport refused the delisting. After standing empty for 14 years, in December 2022, the National Lottery awarded funding for a restoration of the building in conjunction with the Great Yarmouth Preservation Trust and Norfolk American diner chain Zak's.

George and Dragon, Great Budworth

The George and Dragon is a public house in the village of Great Budworth, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. History Great Budworth is a village that was formerly in the estate of Arley Hall. In the later part of the 19th century, its owner, Rowland Egerton-Warburton, undertook a "campaign to restore the village and render it picturesque in Victorian eyes". The George and Dragon was at that time a simple three-bay Georgian inn. In 1875 Egerton-Warburton commissioned the Chester architect John Douglas to undertake the restoration. Douglas added tall rubbed chimneys, mullioned windows and a steep pyramidal turret. Architecture The inn has three bays and is in two storeys. It is built in brick with a roughcast rendering on the upper storey. The roofs are hipped and covered in clay tiles. The central bay consists of a two-storey porch which projects forwards. Its lower storey has an elliptical-headed doorway, and in the upper storey is a four-light mullioned window. Each lateral bay has a four-light mullioned window in the lower storey and a three-light mullioned window in the upper storey. A tall rubbed brick chimneystack rises from the left side of the roof. Diagonally from the right corner is the inn sign. The cut-out pictorial sign itself originated in Nuremberg while its ornate wrought iron bracket was made by the estate blacksmith. On each side of the porch is an oak post-and-rail fence inscribed with a number of sayings. Above the inner door is a stone containing a verse written by Egerton-Warburton. Internally, in the bar, is a stone inscribed in Latin and the date 1722. Present day The George and Dragon continues to trade as a public house and restaurant.

German Gymnasium, London

The German Gymnasium is a building located at 1 Kings Boulevard (formerly 26 Pancras Road), between the Kings Cross and St Pancras railway stations in the north London Borough of Camden. The building, which is currently used as a German-themed bar and restaurant, is a legacy of London’s once large and thriving German community. Construction and use It was constructed in 1864–65 for the German Gymnastics Society, a sporting association established in London in 1861 by Ernst Ravenstein. The National Olympian Association used the Gymnasium as one of the venues for its first ever Games here in 1866, shortly after the German Gymnasium was opened. Designed by Edward A. Gruning and built by Piper and Wheeler, the German Gymnasium is a 2+1⁄2-storey multi-coloured stock brick building with a roof constructed from laminated wood trusses with cast iron fillets. The roof is an important early example of the use of laminated timber to give broad spans. The roof trusses – some 20m wide – are as experimented with but replaced at nearby King's Cross Station. London's German community London once had a large German community. Poor Germans, especially Jews, typically settled in the East End, wealthy or well-connected Germans headed for the West End, while many professional and middle-class Germans settled in north London areas such as Islington and St Pancras. The area around nearby Charlotte Street, also a part of the parish and borough of St Pancras, was so well known as a German centre that it became known as Charlottenstrasse, after the famous Berlin street of that name, Charlottenstraße. Damage and preservation Part of the western end of the building was lost to make way for the construction of the new international rail terminal of St Pancras. A new end wall has been created in keeping with the rest of the structure. The building has been listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England since January 1976.

Télescope Lovell

Le télescope Lovell est un radiotélescope de 76,2 m (250 pieds) de diamètre situé à l'observatoire Jodrell Bank. Il a une longueur d'onde qui va jusqu'à ~5 GHz et a été construit au cours des années allant de 1952 à 1957. L'aire de son antenne est de 5 270 m2 et il possède une monture altazimutale. Le télescope Lovell fait partie du réseau de télescopes Multi-Element Radio Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN). Il a été nommé en l'honneur du physicien et radioastronome britannique Bernard Lovell, qui fut directeur de l'observatoire Jodrell Bank de 1945 à 1980. La construction du télescope a été achevée en octobre 1957, quelque temps avant le lancement du satellite russe Spoutnik 1. À l'époque, c'est le seul télescope occidental depuis lequel les scientifiques peuvent observer le déploiement du satellite. Les premières observations d'une lentille gravitationnelle sont faites au télescope Lovell, en 1979. À la fin des années 1990, la surface du télescope est gravement corrodée. Des travaux de restauration à la hauteur de 2 millions de livres sont financés par le gouvernement britannique et la Wellcome Foundation en 1999. Entre 2001 et 2003, une nouvelle surface en acier galvanisé est installée. Sa voie ferrée extérieure est remplacée, pendant que son système de pointage, ainsi que son système d'entraînement et de contrôle, sont améliorés. En septembre 2006, le télescope Lovell a été élu le plus important « monument méconnu » au Royaume-Uni, lors d'un sondage en ligne organisé par la BBC. Culture populaire Dans la série Docteur Who, le télescope sert de décor pour la mort du personnage joué par Tom Baker. En 2000, Placebo enregistra le clip vidéo de leur titre The Bitter End au centre de l'antenne du télescope Lovell.
