Alderman White School

Alderman White School is a mixed, 11-18 secondary school in Bramcote, Nottinghamshire. The school is a member of The White Hills Park Federation Trust and became an academy on 1 October 2012, rebranding from Alderman White School & Language College to Alderman White School. The school specialises in languages, and runs many language classes on a pay-as-you-go basis which are offered to both students and the wider community. Bramcote Hills Sport & Community College was formally closed by Nottinghamshire County Council on 31 August 2009. The council agreed on 1 September 2009 to enlarge Alderman White School by incorporating the remaining site of Bramcote Hills School, following demolition of the unsafe upper school. Thus making Alderman White a split site school and increasing the number on the roll. Site Following the formal closure of Bramcote Hills, the school now operates from two sites: its original site on Chilwell Lane, and the former Bramcote Hills Site on Moor Lane, which neighbours The Bramcote School, also part of The White Hills Park Federation Trust. The former Bramcote Hills site has a large playing field to the north of the site which bordered Coventry Lane, accessed by Moor Lane via foot. It also has to the south of the site a large running track and football pitches which are shared with the neighbouring federated school, Bramcote College Bramcote College Sixth Form Alderman White under the White Hills Park Federation is running post-14 and post-16 provision from the former Bramcote Hills Sport & Community College site for the federated schools, under the name of "Bramcote College Sixth Form" . In 2009, a glossy prospectus was launched for the 2010 intake with new branding seen in the logo. The abbreviation shown in the logo for Bramcote Hills College Sixth Form reads BC6F, reflecting the title of Bramcote College Sixth Form by which the staff, parents and local community have known the college for many years. The Federation chose the accompanying text of Bramcote Hills College Sixth Form to maintain the Bramcote Hills identity of the site. This was not an oversight in the rebranding process as has been suggested. The college has since been rebranded, dropping the word hills from its name. There are no questions regarding the sustainability of the provision provided at the Bramcote Hills site, with remedial work now completed the remaining buildings can be used for the foreseeable future.

Aldford Castle

Aldford Castle is a motte and bailey castle in the village of Aldford in Cheshire. The motte is to the north of St John's Church, and the church stands on the site of an infilled bailey ditch. The origin and dates of construction of the castle are uncertain. It is thought that it was initially an earth-and-timber construction, possibly built by Robert de Alford in the mid-12th century, in the time of Henry II. However, archaeological evidence of the date is lacking and it may have been significantly earlier, as there are some sources who claim that the castle had been built much earlier, as its command was handed over to Robertus, one of the descendants de Bigod in 1160. One of the earliest written records establishes that it was in the possession of Richard de Alford in the early 13th century and, after his death in 1213, of the family of John de Aderne who likely married de Alford's daughter Margaret. Archaeological findings show that it was rebuilt in stone as a shell keep castle in the 13th century. The purpose of the castle appears to have been as a defensive fortification against the hostile Welsh tribes. There is some debate as to whether the castle, the lands and the title were hereditary or granted due to military service. Some sources even suggest that, up until 1224, the owners had to pay for the lease of the castle. Today fragments of the stonework around the bailey and significant earthworks survive, five miles from Chester where the tributary stream joins the River Dee at an angle. The castle appears to have been triangular, shaped like a harp, with the keep in the northwestern corner of the triangle. Where the keep used to be is now a mound overlooking the River Dee, which the locals call Blobb Hill. The site is a Scheduled Monument.

Castelo Aldford

O Castelo de Aldford é um castelo de mota na aldeia de Aldford em Cheshire. A origem e as datas de construção do castelo são incertas. Acredita-se que foi originalmente uma construção de terra e madeira, provavelmente erguida por Robert de Alford em meados do século XII, na época de Henrique II.No entanto, faltam evidências arqueológicas da data e pode ter sido significativamente anterior, pois há algumas fontes que afirmam que o castelo havia sido construído muito antes, já que seu comando foi entregue a Robertus, um dos descendentes de Bigod em 1160. Um dos primeiros registros escritos estabelece que foi na posse de Richard de Alford no início do século XIII e, após sua morte em 1213, da família de John de Aderne, que provavelmente se casou com a filha de Alford, Margaret. Descobertas arqueológicas mostram que foi reconstruída em pedra como uma concha manter castelo no século XIII. O propósito do castelo parece ter sido como uma fortificação defensiva contra as tribos galesas hostis. Há algum debate sobre se o castelo, as terras e o título foram hereditários ou concedidos devido ao serviço militar. Algumas fontes até sugerem que, até 1224, os proprietários tiveram que pagar pelo aluguel do castelo. O local é um Monumento Agendado. Referências

Aldford Lodge

Aldford Lodge consists of a pair of cottages at the Aldford entrance to Eaton Hall, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. History The National Heritage List for England states that the design was probably by Alfred Waterhouse. However Edward Hubbard, in his biography of John Douglas, gives a firm attribution to Douglas as the architect. The authors of the Buildings of England series also attribute the design to Douglas. The lodge was built in 1877–79 for the 1st Duke of Westminster. Architecture The lodge is built in brick with stone banding and dressings on a stone plinth in 1½ storeys. It is roofed with red tiles. It has two gables, each with pargeting decorated with foliated geometric patterns. The windows have moulded stone surrounds; those on the ground floor have camber arches and on the upper floor the window arches are semicircular. Over the doors are Tudor style arches. The whole building is irregularly shaped and this is emphasised by the addition of buttresses. See also Listed buildings in Aldford List of houses and associated buildings by John Douglas References
Aldgate bus station

Aldgate bus station serves the Aldgate area of the City of London, England. The station is owned and maintained by Transport for London and located directly south of Aldgate tube station. Also known as Minories bus station or lay-by, it was the first dedicated bus station in the City of London, and was formerly a major coach station and trolleybus terminal. Trolleybus terminal The City of London Corporation prohibited trams and trolleybuses from entering the square mile - Aldgate was therefore used as a terminal on the edge of the city. Opened in the 1930s, by 1947 it was the busiest bus station in London with 1,358 departures a day. Trolleybus services ceased in 1961. In 1964 it was rebuilt as a bus and coach station. Green Line Coach Station Aldgate was the base for Green Line Coaches serving Essex, while other Green Line routes operated out of Green Line Coach Station at Victoria. Recent history In January 2015 the bus station closed in connection with adjoining roadworks. It reopened in April 2016. The air rights from forty feet upwards above the bus station were transferred from BRB (Residuary) Limited on its abolition in 2013 to London and Continental Railways. Services As at January 2020, it was served by five London Buses routes.

New Place

New Place ist der Name des Hauses in Stratford-upon-Avon, das William Shakespeare im Jahre 1597 für sich und seine Familie für 60 Pfund kaufte. Er wohnte dort, nachdem er sich zur Ruhe gesetzt hatte, von 1610 bis zu seinem Tod im Jahre 1616. Das Haus befand sich an der Chapel Street. Es war 1483 von Hugh Clopton erbaut worden, einem wohlhabenden Kaufmann und späteren Bürgermeister von London. Zu Shakespeares Zeiten war es das zweitgrößte Haus in Stratford und das einzige, das im Gegensatz zu dem üblichen Fachwerkstil ganz aus Ziegelsteinen gebaut war. Das Haus wurde später von Shakespeares Erben, seiner Tochter Susanna Hall und später seiner Enkelin Elizabeth Hall bewohnt. Danach wurde es an die Familie Clopton verkauft, Nachfahren der ursprünglichen Erbauer. Im Jahre 1759 wurde das Haus von seinem damaligen Besitzer Francis Gastrell niedergerissen, weil ihm der ständige Strom von neugierigen Touristen lästig wurde. Heute befindet sich an dieser Stelle lediglich ein kleiner Garten, der durch das nebenan gelegene Nash-Haus betreten werden kann, welches auch als Museum dient, sowie eine Hinweistafel. 2019 wurde Shakespeare’s New Place von rund 125.000 Personen besucht. 2024 betrug die Besucherzahl etwa 64.000 Personen.

Maison de New Place

La maison de New Place était la maison du XVe siècle de style Tudor et le jardin de Stratford-upon-Avon dans le Warwickshire en Angleterre, où le poète, dramaturge et écrivain William Shakespeare (1564-1616) a passé ses années de retraite de 1610 à sa disparition en 1616. Il n'en reste à ce jour que les fondations et le jardin. Historique En 1483, le riche marchand et futur lord-maire de Londres, Hugh Clopton, fait construire cette imposante demeure à Stratford-upon-Avon. En 1597, William Shakespeare achète cette demeure dans le village de ses racines familiales et y passe sa retraite de 1610 jusqu'à sa disparition en 1616. Sa fille Susanna en hérite, puis sa petite fille Elizabeth Hall. Cette dernière épouse Thomas Nash, propriétaire de la maison de Nash voisine. En 1759, le révérend Francis Gastrell, propriétaire des lieux, excédé par l'important succès touristique de ce lieu de « culte Shakespearien » fait démolir la maison et s'installe dans la maison voisine de Nash, dont il est également propriétaire. En 1891, la Fondation Shakespeare Birthplace Trust acquiert la maison de Nash, les fondations de la maison New Place et le jardin pour en faire, après rénovation, un musée qui retrace l'histoire de Stratford-upon-Avon avec ses premiers colons dans la vallée de l'Avon au XVIe siècle à l'époque de Shakespeare. En 2010 et 2011, des fouilles archéologiques sont réalisées dans le jardin et mettent au jour les fondations de la maison New Place de Shakespeare.

New Place

New Place – niezachowany do dzisiaj budynek mieszkalny w Stratford-upon-Avon, w którym ostatnie lata życia spędził William Szekspir. Dom został zbudowany w 1483 roku. Szekspir kupił go za 60 funtów w 1597, zamieszkał w nim jednak dopiero w 1610. Był drugim co do wielkości budynkiem w Stratford, a jednocześnie jedynym wybudowanym z kamienia. Po śmierci poety, w 1616, dom trafił w ręce jego córki, Susanny Hall. Dom został zburzony przez ówczesnego właściciela w 1759 roku. Dzisiaj można oglądać jego fundamenty, dzięki muzeum zorganizowanemu w sąsiednim domu, Nash's House. Przypisy
Alexandra Dock, Liverpool

Alexandra Dock is a dock on the River Mersey, England, and part of the Port of Liverpool. It is situated in the northern dock system in Bootle. Alexandra Dock consists of a main basin nearest the river wall and three branch docks to the east, with the southern branch mostly filled in. History The dock was built by George Fosbery Lyster between 1874 and 1882. During its construction, the dock was known as Atlantic Dock for about a year. Opened in 1881 and named in honour of Queen Alexandra, the dock has three branch docks and is connected to Hornby Dock to the north and Langton Dock to the south. Initially, access was through Langton Dock and the problematic Canada Basin. Prior to the construction of Seaforth Dock, Alexandra Dock was involved in the grain trade. The grain silos had a 110,000 ton capacity, with floor space for a further 20,000 tons. The dock also had refrigeration facilities, which were provided by Union Cold Storage, for imported frozen meat. When built, the cold store was the largest in Europe with a capacity of 2,668,000 cu ft (75,500 m3). The facility was built at the end of No. 3 Branch Dock, and allowed direct transfer to ships in No. 2 Branch Dock. The dock was served by LNWR Alexandra Dock railway station and the Liverpool Overhead Railway's Alexandra Dock (LOR) railway station. Latterly, its main export is recycled scrap metal.
