It is the largest of its kind in southern England, and is regularly used for conferences of the UK political parties and other bodies of national importance. The venue has the capacity to accommodate up to 5,000 delegates, although rooms in the building can be used for weddings and banquets. It has also been used as a live music venue since it was opened by James Callaghan on 19 September 1977. It was designed in a Brutalist style by architects Russell Diplock & Associates, who made extensive use of textured concrete. The venue is situated in the centre of Brighton on the sea front and is within 200 metres of major hotels. In 2004, it was estimated that the centre generated £50 million in revenue for Brighton.

Renovations In March 2003, there were proposals to demolish the centre at the end of 2005, and replace it with a new exhibition and conference centre by 2008. The centre was given a £1 million renovation in 2012. In November 2014, demolition proposals were made again, but these were to demolish the centre to extend the Churchill Square shopping centre, and then build a new 10,000 capacity exhibition and conference centre on derelict land near the Brighton Marina. In November 2019, these plans were revisited. See also List of Brutalist structures References External links Media related to The Brighton Centre at Wikimedia Commons

Brighton and Hove Reform Synagogue

The Brighton and Hove Reform Synagogue is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue, located on Palmeira Avenue, in Hove, East Sussex, England, in the United Kingdom. History and affiliation The community was founded in 1955 with temporary accommodation and the synagogue was dedicated in 1967 to serve a rapidly growing community. The 400-capacity building was designed by Derek Sharp. A plaque indicates that the foundation stone was laid on 17 July 1966, or in the Hebrew calendar, 29 Tammuz 5726. It became the largest congregation in Brighton and Hove and one of the larger ones in the Reform Movement. The first rabbi to serve the community was Rabbi Rosenblum who developed a style of prayer which combined a sense of tradition with mixed sex seating and inclusion of English beside a mainly Hebrew rendering of the service. In 2011 members of the synagogue voted in favour of equal rights for women congregants. The synagogue is a member of the Movement for Reform Judaism. In 2012, it was reported that the congregation had 500 adult members. The synagogue was listed at Grade II by Historic England on 2 April 2025. This defines it as a "nationally important" building of "special interest". Rabbi The rabbi of the congregation, since September 2012, is Dr. Andrea Zanardo. Zanardo was born in Varese and was among the founders of the first Italian Progressive Congregation while studying for his PhD. He was ordained in July 2012 after rabbinical studies at Leo Baeck College.

Galeria d'Art Guildhall

La Galeria d'Art Guildhall (Guildhall Art Gallery) acull una col·lecció d'art de la ciutat de Londres, Anglaterra. El museu es troba a la zona de Moorgate de la ciutat de Londres. Es tracta d'un edifici de pedra d'estil semi gòtic destinat a empatitzar amb l'històric Guildhall, que és adjacent i al qual està connectat internament. Història La City of London Corporation havia encarregat i recollit retrats des de 1670, originalment per a penjar en el Guildhall. En els segles XIX i XX, les col·leccions d'art de la Corporació van créixer a través de regals i concursos per a incloure pintures d'història i altres gèneres d'art. La primera galeria construïda per a mostrar la col·lecció es va completar el 1885. Aquest edifici va ser destruït amb The Blitz el 1941, resultant la pèrdua de 164 pintures, dibuixos, aquarel·les i estampats, i 20 escultures. No va ser fins a 1985 que la City of London Corporation va decidir tornar a desenvolupar el lloc i construir una nova galeria. L'edifici va ser dissenyat en un estil postmodern per l'arquitecte britànic Richard Gilbert Scott. La nova instal·lació, que tenia per objecte albergar una col·lecció d'aproximadament 4.000 articles, es va completar el 1999. La peça central de la col·lecció, l'enorme quadre de John Singleton Copley que representa La derrota de les bateries flotants a Gibraltar, es va col·locar en una posició destacada al vestíbul d'entrada de la galeria. Vivien Knight va ser la cap de la Galeria, des de 1983 fins a la seva mort el 2009. Amfiteatre El complex Guildhall va ser construït al lloc de l'amfiteatre romà de Londres, i algunes de les restes d'aquest es mostren in situ en una habitació al soterrani de la galeria d'art.

Brimpsfield Castle

Brimpsfield Castle ist eine Burgruine im Dorf Brimpsfield zwischen den Städten Gloucester und Cirencester in der englischen Grafschaft Gloucestershire. Die erste Burg an dieser Stelle entstand vermutlich nach der normannischen Eroberung Englands. Später, im 12. oder 13. Jahrhundert, wurde sie durch eine steinerne Burg ersetzt. Ihr Besitzer, John Giffard, 2. Baron Giffard, rebellierte gegen König Eduard II. und wurde 1332 hingerichtet. Die Burg wurde dann geschleift. Heute sind auf dem Anwesen noch ein Mound mit einem äußeren Wall und Burggraben sowie die Fundamente eines Torhauses zu sehen. Quellen Brimpsfield Castle. ecastles.co.uk. Brimpsfield Castle.

Brimpsfield Castle

Brimpsfield Castle was a castle in the village of Brimpsfield in the county of Gloucestershire, England, between Gloucester and Cirencester.It is likely that the first castle was built after the Norman invasion. Then, in the 12th or 13th century, it was rebuilt in stone. The owner, John Giffard, 2nd Lord of Brimpsfield, rebelled against King Edward II and was executed in 1322. The castle was then slighted (partially destroyed). Today the remains consist of a mound with an outer bank and ditch and the foundations of a gatehouse.

Brindley Water Mill

The Brindley Water Mill is a water mill in the town of Leek, Staffordshire, England, built in 1752 by James Brindley. It was restored to working order in the 1970s, and is now a museum. It is a Scheduled Monument and a Grade II Listed Building. History There was a water mill in Leek by the mid-12th century, owned at that time by Ranulf de Gernon, 4th Earl of Chester. His grandson Ranulf de Blondeville, 6th Earl of Chester in the early 1220s gave the mill to Dieulacres Abbey. At the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536–41, the abbey had two water mills in Leek, one of which was on the River Churnet in Mill Street. In the early 1750s James Brindley, who had set up as a millwright in Mill Street in 1742 after completing his apprenticeship in Macclesfield, was asked to rebuild the corn mill in Leek. The new mill was probably on or near the former site, and involved constructing a mill race and a weir. A stone set into the west wall of the building shows the date 1752. The mill in the 19th century was part of the estate in Leek of the Earl of Macclesfield, and later was owned by the neighbouring textile mill owners. It remained in use as a corn mill until 1940. About a third of it was demolished in 1948 when the adjacent A523 road was widened, and a brick gable wall was built on the south side, where there had been a partition wall. Restoration Dr Cyril Boucher, an expert on early engineers, studied the mill in detail in the 1960s, and in 1968 described it in his biography of Brindley. In that year it was listed as a Scheduled Monument. The Brindley Mill Preservation Trust was established and registered as a charity in 1970, its aim being to purchase and restore the mill. The freehold was acquired in 1972. The structure, machinery and waterways were restored, and on 4 May 1974 the mill was officially opened to the public. In 1980 the James Brindley Museum was opened in the building. Description The building measures 28 feet (8.5 m) north to south and 27 feet (8.2 m) west to east. The front, facing east, has on the left (in the centre before the 1948 demolition) a wide entrance with a segmental arch, and a circular window above; to the right, there are two arched windows on each floor. There is an undershot waterwheel, diameter 16 feet (4.9 m), on the north side of the building; near to it are the weir, millpond, leats and sluice gates whereby water is directed away from the river. Inside, the floors, bearing the grinding stones and machinery, are supported by large oak beams. The roof rafters are supported by a king post structure resting on a curved tie beam. The waterwheel operates two sets of stones, via an internal pit wheel.
