Diggerland

Diggerland is a chain of theme parks where members of the public can operate heavy machinery such as diggers and JCBs. There are four theme parks in England, and one in the United States. Diggerland is part of the H.E Services Group and Allsafety Limited. The United States theme park is operated by Enchanted Parks. Locations There are four Diggerland theme parks in the UK, located in Strood in Kent (opened in 2000), Langley Park in County Durham (opened in 2001), Cullompton in Devon (opened in 2001, closed in 2020, and reopened in 2022) and Castleford in West Yorkshire (opened in 2007). In 2015, it was announced that Diggerland would open their fifth UK park in Evesham, Worcestershire, but this was cancelled in 2017. Diggerland had a temporary park in Dubai during the summer of 2005. Their 2006 plan to expand to Richmond, Virginia, in the United States was stalled out by the Great Recession. Diggerland expanded into the United States with an independent location founded by the Girlya family called 'Diggerland USA' opening West Berlin, New Jersey, in 2014. In 2020, a waterpark was added to Diggerland USA called 'The Water Main' which also received a 2 acre enchantment in 2022. In January 2024, the U.S. park was sold to Innovative Attractions Management (now Enchanted Parks) who had also acquired Enchanted Forest Water Safari the previous year.

Dillington House

Dillington House is a Grade II* listed manor near Ilminster in the parish of Whitelackington, Somerset, England. The present house, which dates from the 16th century, is owned by Lord Cameron of Dillington and operated by Somerset Council. There has been a house on the site since before the Norman Conquest, probably taking advantage of the nearby chalybeate spring. History The house has 16th-century origins, but was reshaped around 1838 by its then owner John.E.Lee to the design of Sir James Pennethorne. John Lee, who purchased the house, had been born John Hanning and had assumed the surname Lee on becoming the heir of his uncle Major Edward Lee (d.1819) of Orleigh Court, Buckland Brewer, North Devon. John Lee's brother-in-law and his tenant at Orleigh Court was William Speke of Jordans near Ilminster, father of the celebrated discoverer of the River Nile John Hanning Speke. It is now a Grade II* listed building. Dillington House was the country residence of George III's Prime Minister, Lord North who acquired it through marriage to Anne Speke. The stables which were built in the 18th or early 19th century were remodelled in 1875 by George Nattress and later in the 1960s when the Coach House was converted into a theatre. The two lodges adjacent to the main gate are also Grade II* listed and are in private ownership. In 1940, the 'Fortress Ilminster' project saw the area prepare for what was thought to be imminent invasion by the Nazis. The drive extending from the town, north toward Dillington House hosted tank barricades and concrete gun emplacements as part of the Taunton Stop Line. Remains of Fortress Ilminster can still be seen today and the drive is now a public footpath. In the spring of 2009 a new building, 'The Hyde', was opened, providing two studio spaces, additional dining accommodation and 15 fully accessible bedrooms. Designed by Tim Rolt and Dan Talkes of Purcell Miller Tritton, the building won the 2010 South-West Region Architecture Award from the Royal Institute of British Architects. Present use Dillington House offered a range of day courses and residential short courses, in addition to a programme of public lectures. As well as being a hotel, it has also been used as a venue for conferences and meetings, weddings and other private events, with the residential accommodation set in historic parkland and gardens. In 2017 the House and Gardens were used as the location for a short documentary film, highlighting the national decrease in the numbers of Pembroke Welsh Corgis. The venue had been struggling to make ends meet for more than a decade and was predicted to lose more than £500,000 over the 2022/2023 financial year. In September 2022 Somerset Council decided to end its operations at Dillington House, in a bid to prevent further losses for taxpayers. The venue, which had more than 30 staff, confirmed that it would close its doors in September 2023. References External links Dillington Estate homepage

Dimbola Museum and Galleries

Dimbola was the home and workplace of the Victorian pioneer photographer Julia Margaret Cameron, where she lived from 1860 to 1875 on the Isle of Wight It is now a museum and galleries dedicated to her life and work which also showcases contemporary exhibitions of photographers from around the world. The museum is run by the Julia Margaret Cameron Trust, a registered charity. History of the property In 1860, Julia Margaret Cameron bought two adjacent cottages in Freshwater Bay from a local fisherman named Jacob Long. In order to make the house look more beautiful to her friends returning from the beach, they were linked by a central tower in the Gothic style current at the time. The structure dominates the skyline from Freshwater Bay and gives a focus to the surrounding area. Dimbola took its name from the family's coffee (later tea) plantation in Dimbula, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). Dimbola served as both her home and her studio. It was here that the greatest of Cameron's photographs were made. After the Camerons returned to Ceylon the property was again divided into two parts. These were later named Dimbola, which became a private residence and holiday flats. In 1991, a property company bought and obtained permission to demolish what was then called 'Cameron House'. The Julia Margaret Cameron Trust was formed, with the immediate and urgent aim of saving the house which was achieved three years later. Dimbola is now a museum and galleries dedicated to Cameron's life and work. It is also home to a permanent exhibition about the Isle of Wight Festival 1970 held at nearby Afton Down. As well as showing contemporary exhibitions of photographers. Exhibitors have included Annie Leibovitz, Chris Packham and Terry O'Neill. In 2006, a sculptural tribute to Jimi Hendrix was erected here, looking out towards Afton Down where the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival was held.

Dimco Buildings

The Dimco Buildings are a pair of 19th-century structures in White City, London, just north of Shepherd's Bush. Originally built in 1898 as an electric railway power station, they are now in use as a bus station. History The Dimco Buildings were constructed in 1898 to house an engine house and boiler house for the Wood Lane electricity generating station serving the Wood Lane depot of the Central London Railway (CLR), the precursor of present-day Central line on the London Underground network. The architect was Harry Bell Measures, who was also responsible for a number of station buildings on the original CLR. The power station closed on 18 March 1928 when power for the line began to be supplied from Lots Road Power Station. After closure, the buildings were taken over by Dimco, an Italian machine tools company. After falling derelict for a number of years, the Dimco Buildings were refurbished in 2007-8 and now house the White City bus station, located next to the Westfield London shopping centre, one of the largest in Europe. Since 1988, the Dimco Buildings have been Grade II listed for their historic significance as the earliest surviving example of an electricity generating station built for the London Underground. In popular culture The Dimco buildings were used as a filming location for the Acme Factory in the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and later served as the interior of the British Museum in The Mummy Returns (2001). British girl group Girls Aloud also filmed the music video for their debut single "Sound of the Underground" in the Dimco Building on 2 December 2002, just two days after they had been formed on Popstars: The Rivals.

Dinedor Camp

Dinedor Camp is an Iron Age hillfort, about 1 kilometre (0.6 mi) west of the village of Dinedor and about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) south of Hereford in England. It is a scheduled monument. In 2016, Dinedor Camp was acquired by Dinedor Parish Council, as a community asset transfer from Herefordshire Council. Description The fort is on a spur of Dinedor Hill; it overlooks to the east the River Wye at the confluence with the River Lugg. It is about 337 metres (1,106 ft) long and 160 metres (520 ft) wide, enclosing an area of about 3.8 hectares (9.4 acres). There is an out-turned entrance at the east. There is a steep natural slope on the south side, and a single rampart, about 3 metres (9.8 ft) high, around the rest of the fort, rising to about 8 metres (26 ft) in the north-east. There was some excavation in 1951 at the north-east of the fort, a trench being cut from the edge of the rampart for about 35 metres (115 ft) towards the centre of the camp. Sherds of Iron Age and Roman pottery, part of an iron axehead and other iron fragments were found. See also Hillforts in Britain References External links Dinedor Camp at The Megalithic Portal
Dinosaur Isle

Dinosaur Isle is a purpose-built dinosaur museum located in Sandown on the Isle of Wight in southern England. The museum was designed by Isle of Wight architect Rainey Petrie Johns in the shape of a giant pterosaur. It claims to be the first custom-built dinosaur museum in Europe. History Throughout the 19th century, many collectors such as the Reverend William Fox (1813-1881) excavated the types of new dinosaur genera, including Aristosuchus, Hypsilophodon foxii, and Polacanthus. Most of the discoveries were then transferred to the mainland for study and exhibition, which after some time prompted the Isle of Wight Council to begin its own collection. In 1923, the Isle of Wight's first geological museum opened in Sandown, under the name of the "Museum of Isle of Wight Geology". The £2.7 million cost of Dinosaur Isle, the new museum, was provided by Isle of Wight Council and the National Lottery Millennium Commission. Dinosaur Isle opened to visitors on 10 August 2001. It currently houses 40,000 specimens, including nearly 200 types. The museum offers many field trips to discover the island's main palaeontological sites. Exhibits The visit to the museum begins with a presentation of the different past ecosystems that can be found in different parts of the island. This area begins with Pleistocene fossils, including those of Bison antiquus. The repaired animatronic of an Ophthalmosaurus from the BBC's Walking with Dinosaurs is also in this section. The first Mesozoic animals are displayed outside of the main room, with a sauropod being displayed at the very end, and several exhibits dedicated to Mesozoic marine life. The large central room is dedicated to dinosaurs. Many life-size replicas and models are found there, including ornithischians such as Iguanodon, Polacanthus and Hypsilophodon, in addition to saurischians like Eotyrannus. Additionally, a large allosauroid theropod, Neovenator salerii (discovered in 1978 and described by Steve Hutt one of the curators of the museum) is also exhibited, as is a replica skeleton of Megalosaurus. The skeleton of the Iguanodon MIWG.5126 (or Pink Iggy) is particularly noteworthy among the museum's collection. It was discovered in 1976 by Steve Hutt, and is mostly articulated. It is named after the minerals in the matrix it was discovered in, which gave the rocks a pink colouration. The holotype of the small crocodyliform Koumpiodontosuchus is also displayed. On one of the walls of the room, reconstructions of heads of different pterosaurs are displayed. Indeed, the museum houses the holotype of the ornithocheirid Caulkicephalus. Dinosaur fossils also include the type specimens of the ornithischian species Brighstoneus simmondsi (MIWG 6344) and Istiorachis macarthurae (MIWG 6643). Visitors to the museum are given the opportunity to speak to resident palaeontologists and watch them at work. See also Dinosaurs of the Isle of Wight References External links Dinosaur Isle website
Dinosaur Isle

Dinosaur Isle est un centre d'interprétation et un muséum de la petite ville côtière de Sandown consacré aux dinosaures découverts sur l'île de Wight, au sud de l'Angleterre. Le Muséum a été dessiné par Rainey Petrie Johns, un architecte de l'île de Wight. De face, il a la forme d'un ptérosaure et de profil, celle d'un sauropoda. L'île de Wight est une destination géotouristique importante en Europe. Dès 1816, un premier guide touristique écrit par Thomas Webster's (1773-1844) comportait déjà une partie importante consacrée à la géologie de l'île. En effet, les gisements du Crétacé inférieur connu sous le nom de formation de Wealden sont riches en fossiles particulièrement de dinosaures. On trouve également des affleurements marins du Crétacé supérieur ainsi que des gisements du Paléocène. Historique Tout au long du XIXe siècle, de nombreux collectionneurs tel le révérend William Fox (1813–1881) exhumèrent les types de nouvelles espèces : Aristosuchus, Hypsilophodon foxii ou Polacanthus foxii. La plupart des découvertes quittaient alors le territoire de l’île, c’est pourquoi le Conseil de l’île de Wight entama sa propre collection. En 1914 un premier musée de géologie de l’île a ouvert ses portes à Sandown. Dinosaur Isle, le nouveau musée inauguré en 2001, d'un coût de 2,7 millions de livres sterling, il a été financé par le Conseil de l'île de Wight et la loterie nationale. Il abrite 40.000 spécimens, formant quelque 200 types. Le musée propose, outre la visite, de nombreuses sorties de terrain sur les principaux sites paléontologiques de l'île. Exposition La visite du musée commence par la présentation des différents écosystèmes passés dont on peut retrouver les témoins en différentes parties de l'île. La grande salle centrale est consacrée aux dinosaures. On y découvre de nombreuses répliques et modèles à taille réelle dont des ornitischiens : Iguanodon, Polacanthus et Hypsilophodon ainsi que des saurischiens comme Eotyrannus, ou Neovenator - Neovenator salerii a été découvert en 1978 et décrit par Steve Hutt l'un des préparateurs du muséum. Le squelette de l'Iguanodon Pink Iggy est particulièrement intéressant. Il a été découvert en 1976 par Steve Hutt en position quasi anatomique. Sur un des murs de la salle des reconstitutions de têtes de différents ptérosaures sont exposés. En effet le muséum abrite l'holotype de Caulkicephalus Lors des visites il est possible de rencontrer les préparateurs du musée et de discuter avec eux.

Dinosaurland Fossil Museum

Dinosaurland Fossil Museum (a.k.a. Dinosaurland) is a privately owned fossil museum in Lyme Regis, on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, England. The museum is located in a historic Grade I listed former congregational church building. Museum The museum, opened in 1989, is owned and run by Steve Davies, a former chief palaeontologist for BP. It contains a collection of local marine fossils from the Jurassic period. The museum organizes guided fossil hunting walks. There is a museum shop that sells fossils and minerals. The fossil collection is housed on the ground floor. As well as local Jurassic fossils, there are dinosaurs from China. There are also modern shells and skeletons on display. The museum has a small collection of dinosaur fossils on show (such as a large dinosaur coprolite, a Megalosaurus skeleton and a Chinese dinosaur, of unknown genus). Congregational Church The museum is located on Coombe Street in a 250-year-old Grade I listed building that used to be a congregational church. The church was built between 1750 and 1755 by John Whitty. It was where Mary Anning (1799–1847), an early fossil hunter, was baptised and later attended for worship. The two storey building has a hipped roof and rusticated quoins. The round-headed doorway has Doric pilasters on either side. There is a 19th-century addition to the left hand end of the building.

Dinsdale Park

Dinsdale Park is a 19th-century mansion and former Spa hotel at Low Dinsdale, near Darlington, County Durham, England now converted into residential apartments. It is a Grade II listed building. Low Dinsdale Manor estate, anciently the seat of the Surtees family, was acquired by John Lambton of Lambton in 1770. In 1789, during drilling for coal, a natural spring of sulphurated mineral water was discovered on the northern bank of the River Tees at Dinsdale. The first Spa was established there in 1797. In 1829 John Lambton, 1st Earl of Durham built the Dinsdale Spa Hotel on his estate to a design by architect Ignatius Bonomi. The three storey seven bayed mansion provided accommodation for seventy visitors. The business was not greatly successful and the property was sold for residential use, together with the manor, in 1844 to Henry George Surtees (High Sheriff of Durham) a descendant of the ancient family. Following the sale of the property in 1914 by Aubone Surtees, the building has had various uses, including a psychiatric hospital, a local authority residential school and a nursing home. The grounds were laid out as a golf course and more recently the building has been converted into residential apartments. References Historic England. "Dinsdale Park Residential School (1185930)".

Dinton Castle

Dinton Castle (eller Dinton Folly) er en borgruin, der ligger umiddelbart nord for landsbyen Dinton i Buckinghamshire i England. Den blev bygget som folly til Dinton Hall af sir John Vanhatten i 1769. Han brugte det til sin samling af fossiler i kalkstensvæggene. Ifølge præsten Callander blev "borgen" brugt en gang som midlertidigt mødested for non-konforme medlemmer af sognerådet. For at gør det mere bebageligt var en presenning et improviseret tag. Restaurering Borgen blev ikke vedligeholdt i mange år, og i en længere årrække var den støttet af stillads for ikke at styrte sammen. Den 26. januar 2017 blev der givet byggetilladelse til at ombygge Dinton Castle til beboelse. Restaureringen blev filmet og brugt i Channel 4s program Grand Designs i september 2018. Restaureringen blev også omtalt i The Walls Street Journal.

Dinton Castle

Dinton Castle, auch Dinton Folly, ist eine Burgruine direkt nördlich des Dorfes Dinton in der englischen Grafschaft Buckinghamshire. Die Burg ließ Sir John Vanhatten 1769 als Folly für sein Landhaus Dinton Hall erbauen. Er nutzte sie zur Lagerung seiner Fossiliensammlung. Die Fossilien sind in die Kalksteinwände eingebaut. Laut Rev. Callander (früher in Dinton ansässig) diente die „Burg“ zeitweise als Treffpunkt für die örtliche Nonkonformistenvereinigung. Um sie besser nutzen zu können, diente eine Persenning als Notdach. Die Burg verfiel viele Jahre lang und wurde lange Zeit von einem Gerüst gestützt. Es gibt zwar einen öffentlichen Fußweg in der Nähe, aber die Ruine selbst steht auf Privatgrund. English Heritage hat sie als historisches Gebäude II*. Grades gelistet. Das Gebäude wurde 2017 von Privatpersonen restauriert. Einzelnachweise
