Claremont Landscape Garden

Claremont Landscape Garden, just outside Esher, Surrey, England, is one of the earliest surviving gardens of its kind of landscape design, the English Landscape Garden — still featuring its original 18th-century layout. The garden is Grade I listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. History Originally created for Claremont House, it represents the work of some of the best known landscape gardeners, such as Charles Bridgeman, Capability Brown, William Kent and Sir John Vanbrugh. Work on the gardens began around 1715 and by 1727 they were described as "the noblest of any in Europe". Within the grounds, overlooking the lake, is an unusual-turfed amphitheatre, which used to form the centrepiece of an annual event called the Claremont Fête champêtre. Hundreds of visitors descended on Claremont, most in costume (each year has a different theme) to enjoy four days of music, theatre and fireworks. Stewardship Also within the grounds is the Belvedere Tower, designed by Sir John Vanbrugh for the Duke of Newcastle. The tower is unusual in that what appear to be windows, are actually bricks painted black and white. It is now owned by Claremont Fan Court School, which is situated alongside the gardens. In 1949 the landscape garden was donated to the National Trust for stewardship and protection. Initially it was managed by Esher Urban District Council, who could do little more than basic maintenance and grass-cutting. In 1974, the National Trust took back control of the site and a pioneering restoration programme was launched in 1975 following a significant donation by the Slater Foundation. Gallery Transport The entrance to the garden is directly off the A307, Portsmouth Road. Buses from Kingston on Thames, Esher and Guildford stop nearby. The road originally ran closer to the lake but Robert Clive had it moved further north to its present alignment in 1771.

Claremont Pier

The Claremont Pier is a traditional seaside pier in Lowestoft in the English county of Suffolk. Opened in 1903 and named after nearby Claremont Road, the pier was sectioned during the war through fear it could be used for an enemy invasion. It was subsequently restored using a Bailey Bridge and used as a training facility for the army. History The pier was authorised by the Lowestoft (South) Pier Order 1900, and constructed by the Coast Development Company and opened in 1903, originally as a mooring for Belle steamers. Its name originates from its close proximity to Claremont Road. It was designed by D. Fox and was originally 600 feet (180 m) before being extended under the Lowestoft (South) Pier Order 1912 when a T-shaped landing head was added, bringing it to a length of 760 feet (230 m). Mid 20th century Steamer services ended at the pier in 1939, with the last use being to bring evacuees from London. As with many piers during the war, it was sectioned in 1940 as a defense measure against the threat of invasion. When that threat had passed, the gap was closed with a Bailey bridge and the pier became an Army training centre during World War II until 1948. By 1948 the pier was abandoned and derelict, and when Lowestoft Town Council refused an offer to purchase it for £4,000 the actor George Studd took it over for a year and began to repair the pier. After repair in the 1950s, a storm in 1962 washed a section of it away, reducing its length to 720 feet (220 m). Late 20th century In the 1990s the pier was taken over by the Scott family and, despite restoration work on the shoreward end, much of the pier remains in need of restoration. Facilities at the shoreward end include a nightclub, amusement arcade, children's rides and a restaurant and take-away. 21st century In 2005 the pier was put up for sale at £2.8 million but was unsold. In April 2018, the pier was put on the market with an asking price of £2.5m. It remained unsold by January 2020, by then being available at a much reduced asking price of £1.25m. By this time, it had been owned for 50 years by David Scott and his family. The pier was sold during the summer of 2020 with the new owners reopening the pier in July 2020 along with the restaurant and ice cream kiosk. Future plans included a desire to reopen the pier deck and allow people to walk along, with costs estimated at between £1.5m - £3m and requiring a grant or lottery funding to make it viable. Facilities The pier includes an ice cream kiosk, coffee shop, fish and chips takeaway and restaurant, amusements arcade, beach bar, sports bar, night club and a brand new roof top terrace.

Leeds Dock

Leeds Dock (formerly New Dock and previously Clarence Dock) is a mixed development with retail, office and leisure presence by the River Aire in central Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It has a large residential population in waterside apartments. The dock is adjacent to Fearns Island, a small river island housing both Leeds Lock and Leeds Dam, part of the Leeds Flood Alleviation Scheme, as well as a nature reserve. History The dock was constructed for boats using the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and the Aire and Calder Navigation to tranship goods and commodities from Leeds city centre in 1843. It was primarily used to bring coal from collieries around Rothwell and Wakefield to supply heavy industries in Hunslet and business and commerce in Leeds city centre. The western side of the dock once had a large crane on tracks along the side of the dock to load and unload goods from canal barges. In the 1990s the surrounding area was made up of Victorian industrial buildings most of which were derelict. Throughout the second half of the 20th century the area suffered steady industrial decline. The mills and many heavy engineering works began to close, move further out of town or scale down. Construction of the £42.5 million purpose-built Royal Armouries Museum marked the start of the area's redevelopment which opened in March 1996. No further development was made until 2004 when a multi-storey car park opened followed by an Express hotel in August 2006. The retail and leisure sector was launched on 11 October 2008 with fashion shows from celebrity fashion consultant and TV presenter Gok Wan. However few retail chains were attracted to the area and the site failed to take off as a shopping centre. The site, which had been known as Clarence Dock, became New Dock in mid-2012 as part of a re-branding initiative. The site was bought by Allied London, and rebranded as Leeds Dock in 2013. Facilities Leeds Dock is the home of the Royal Armouries Museum, a major national museum. In 2024-5 the museum attracted around 350,000 visitors per year. Although the site was originally intended to include a destination shopping centre, few shops opened and most of the shops that did open have since closed: in 2025 it was described as 'almost empty' and 'poorly connected'. However, in May 2025 the Royal Armouries purchased the freehold of its site in support of its plans to develop its conferencing and events facilities. This represents one of the Leeds Transformational Regeneration Partnership's three key placemaking initiatives for regenerating the South Bank of the River Aire, alongside British Library North and Aire Park. Leeds Dock's main shopping street, 'The Boulevard' radiates southbound from Armouries Square. Another focal point is 'The Anchorage' at the top of the dock. Clarence House is a 218-foot (66 m) tower containing 227 apartments and six retail units.

Clarence Park, Weston-super-Mare

Clarence Park was given to the town of Weston-super-Mare by Rebecca Davies in memory of her husband. The cricket pavilion at the park dates from 1882. A multitude of sports have been played at the park, including cricket. The ground is owned by the local council. It is currently used by Weston-super-Mare Cricket Club. Layout The park is laid out in two sections. The western section is considerably the larger and is separated from the eastern section by Walliscote Road. The eastern section is a large trapezoidal area of flat open lawn, with an encircling pathway; outside the pathway, there is a wide band of less manicured land heavily populated with mature trees. The lawned area (pictured) is often used to host cricket matches. The cricket pavilion is at the western edge, backing onto Walliscote Road. Part of the southern edge of the lawn is marked out for use as a croquet pitch; croquet matches are frequently held during the summer months. During recent years, this eastern section of Clarence Park has been used as a drop-off and pickup zone for the T4 on the Beach music event. The western section of the park is laid out as a more formal park with mature trees, flower beds, lawned areas, and a fish pond with fountain. Part of the southern end of this section is taken up by the clubhouse and 3 greens of the Clarence Bowling Club. At the north end, near Walliscote Road, there is a house originally used as the park-keeper's lodge. There is a children's play area near the western edge. Approximately in the centre of the western section of the park, there is a small pavilion, operated in recent years as a cafe. The future of the cafe is currently under threat as a result of an arson attack which took place in early September 2011. Since this time, the cafe has had a number of operators under a lease managed by North Somerset Council. Cricket The park played host to home matches for Somerset between 1914 and 1996. The ground had a capacity of 6,000 spectators. The first recorded match on the ground which involved a senior cricket team was on 21 August 1914 and saw a Weston-super-Mare team play Glamorgan, seven years before Glamorgan were awarded first-class status. Several days later Somerset played their first match on the ground against Yorkshire. The highest attendance at the ground was 6,000 during a match against Hampshire in the 1947 County Championship season. In 1936, there was talk about moving the Weston festival away from Clarence Park, a move strongly resisted by Jack White, who thought the ground to be "lovely". The festival remained at the ground for another sixty years, until the August 1996 Cricket Festival when Somerset played their final first-class or List A match at Clarence Park. Their final opponent on the ground was Durham. References

Clatworthy Reservoir

Clatworthy Reservoir is situated near Clatworthy in the Brendon Hills on the edge of the Exmoor National Park in west Somerset, England. It is run by Wessex Water and has a capacity of 5,364,000 cubic metres (1.180×109 imp gal), supplying some 200,000 homes. It impounds the head waters of the River Tone and the surrounding area is used for walking and fishing. Clatworthy Camp, an Iron Age hill fort is situated on a promontory above Clatworthy Reservoir. It is roughly triangular in shape with an area of 5.8 hectares. It has a single bank and ditch, cut through solid rock. There may have been an entrance on the west and two on the east. The ancient settlement of Syndercombe was flooded on the creation of the reservoir. In the Domesday Book of 1086 the manor of Syndercombe is recorded as held by Turstin FitzRolf. Recreation Angling There are seven water inlets at Clatworthy which are all described as hot spots for fishermen, but generally the south bank is considered to be the best area. Clatworthy offers top of the water fishing with nymphs or dry flies or, at the deep areas, with sinking lines and flashing lures. Rainbow and brown trout are commonly caught from the banks or from a boat and the lake is well stocked. Some areas of the bank are very steep or wooded and difficult to access. Walking Clatworthy reservoir offers the chance to stroll at leisure through a short nature trail or, for the more adventurous, it is possible to walk the entire reservoir perimeter of five miles (8 km). There is ample parking and public toilets at the viewing area which is signposted from Wiveliscombe. From the viewing area visitors can take the perimeter walk - allow 2½ to 3 hours to complete this walk. The car park is open throughout the year, but is locked at sunset. Wildlife Clatworthy reservoir features a range of habitats including acid grassland, Fox glove, broadleaf woodlands and scrub leading to marshy areas around the inlet streams. Clatworthy woodland is mainly beech with sessile oaks, silver birch and rowan. The site is home to a range of passage and woodland birds as well as geese, grebes and swans. Red deer, roe deer and badgers are often seen in the woods. References External links Everything Exmoor website

Castillo de Clearwell

El Castillo de Clearwell, en el Bosque de Dean, Gloucestershire (Reino Unido), es un edificio neogótico construido en el siglo XVIII, declarado Monumento clasificado de grado II,​ que cobró relevancia al ser utilizado por diversas bandas de rock como estudio de grabación y lugar de inspiración durante los años 70 y 80. Historia Construido en 1727 por Roger Morris para la familia de Wyndham, el edificio actual se levantó sobre las ruinas de una antigua edificación, es por esto que parte de la sala de baile date de alrededor de 1600. El castillo perteneció a la familia hasta que fue subastado el 22 de junio de 1907. El edificio pasó entonces a manos del coronel Charles Vereker, hasta que el 18 de marzo de 1929, fue destruido por un incendio. Una valiosa colección de muebles de época, antigüedades y objetos de valor se perdieron para siempre. El coronel Vereker comenzó la restauración del edificio, sin embargo, tras su muerte en 1947, el Castillo de Clearwell se fue a la ruina. En 1953, un hombre de negocios compró el castillo con la intención de demolerlo.​ Frank Yeates, que dirigía una panadería en Blackpool se enteró de la noticia de la demolición del castillo y consiguió adquirirlo por apenas 3000 libras. Frank y su hijo Bernard restauraron el edificio por sí mismos. Después de años de duro trabajo decidieron montar un estudio de grabación y una sala de ensayo en el sótano junto a las mazmorras y alquilarlo a bandas de rock.​ Los primeros clientes fueron el grupo Badfinger que en 1971 ocuparon el castillo durante seis meses, allí grabaron el álbum "Straight Up". Black Sabbath fueron los siguientes inquilinos. Compusieron allí la totalidad de las canciones del álbum Sabbath Bloody Sabbath​ de 1973. El 23 de septiembre de ese mismo año Deep Purple presentaban ante los medios de comunicación, en el Castillo de Clearwell, a sus dos nuevos componentes; Glenn Hughes y David Coverdale.​ La banda había alquilado el lugar para componer el que sería uno de sus trabajos más celebrados, Burn. Peter Frampton compuso en 1975 su álbum "Frampton" y en mayo de 1978, los componentes de Led Zeppelin se recluyeron en el Castillo de Clearwell para componer buena parte de In through the out door antes de viajar a Suecia para su grabación. Fue base habitual de Whitesnake en los primeros ochenta. Bad Company, Queen o Mott the Hoople también pasaron temporadas de retiro entre sus muros. En 1982, la familia Yeates vendió el castillo. Los compradores, la familia de Gresham, llevó a cabo una profunda restauración del edificio y luego vendió el castillo a la familia Frazer Steele que lo convirtieron en un hotel. Finalmente en 1997, el Castillo de Clearwell fue adquirido por su actual propietario, una compañía que se dedica a la celebración de bodas y eventos. Referencias
