Porchester Square

Porchester Square is an archetypal-format, narrow London garden square in Bayswater on the cusp of inter-related Westbourne. It is lined with tall white Victorian classical architecture residential buildings. It is half of one large block south of the closing section of the Great Western Main Line that leads into London Paddington station. History Etymology Successive heads of the Thistlewaites, whose seat was Portchester Castle in Hampshire, were foremost of three to four co-trustees of the Bishop of London's majority landholding of Paddington. This was throughout conversion from agricultural dominance to controlled urban housing: before 1750 until building began on this particular plot in 1850. Their manor was agreed as acceptable for three roads that survive and Porchester Square at the time. Development Eight building firms were used, resulting in slightly different exteriors of the large houses (now internally all converted into flats). Classical features are: porticoed steps to the front doors sash windows first floor juliet balconies with wrought iron railings multiple cornices roofline balustrades. The terrace of houses on the northern side of the square back onto the garden, without an intervening road, in the manner of at least three other nearby squares. As a consequence of this formation, these northern houses front a road with two names - Porchester Square on its southern side; Gloucester Terrace on its northern. The houses on the south side, keeping their façades and much of their internal structure, have been incorporated into an award-winning wider private development of flats and commercial premises since the mid-1970s, The Colonnades. This development was one of the first major projects of architects whose status later grew, Sir Terry Farrell and Sir Nicholas Grimshaw. The central gardens of the square which are open to the public. It has large, well-rooted, tall London plane (Platanus × hispanica) trees, flowering cherry trees, extensive lawns, colourful flower beds and a children's playground. Begun in 1850 and completed between 1855 and 1858, the square was one of the last areas of Bayswater and Westbourne built. The dominant architect was George Wyatt, but the final word on both the general layout and the architectural detail was with George Gutch who in 1822 as surveyor of Bishop of London's then intrinsically Paddington lands reviewed and ratified all developments. At the outset of building the area was considered in the parish and soon the Metropolitan Borough of Paddington. In 1965 the authority became the City of Westminster which took the borough as its northern part, dissolving it. The architectural facades of the classical terrace, facing onto Porchester Square Garden, now incorporated into the Colonnades development, were carefully refurbished in 2020 by the freeholders. Recognition with protection In the mainstream, initial category for protection and recognition are the original two sides which survive. These are the north (No.s9 to 31) and east (No.s1 to 8).

Southampton Municipal Golf Course

Southampton Municipal Golf Course is a 27-hole golf course in Southampton, England. The par 70, 6174yd, 18-hole course is set in mature parkland. It is home to Southampton Golf Club. History After World War I, Sir Sidney Kimber envisaged the council providing leisure activities to the people of Southampton. Until this point, the majority of private clubs were fairly exclusive and ‘the working man’ was not invited. The course was designed by five time Open Championship winner J.H. Taylor, and was completed in 1935. Southampton was hailed as the best Municipal golf course in England when it opened before the outbreak of the World War II. However, it wasn’t until after the war that it became playable throughout the year. When the game began to boom during the 1980s and 1990s, there were close to 200,000 rounds being played at the golf course each year. However, as more ‘pay as you play’ facilities opened up in Hampshire, the figures dropped to 70,000 per year – although in 2004 the figures rose to 100,000 per year. In June 2010, a £3 million deal was lined up for MyTime Active, a charitable trust, to run the golf course which was estimated to save the taxpayer £350,000 and drive up customer numbers. Impact of Covid-19 pandemic Covid-19 struggles Due to the COVID-19 restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, leisure centres were forced to closed for months in line with government guidelines. On 1 April 2021, Southampton City Council took over the management of the golf course after the previous operator had been hit by the pandemic and the expiry of their contract. Southampton City Council and recovery Following the change in management to Southampton City Council, essential grounds work was carried out on the golf course to bring it back to use. Plugs of soil were removed from the green and a feed, seed and sand mix was spread to rejuvenate the putting surfaces, whilst irrigation work was also carried out. In late 2021, further work was completed on the golf course, including improvements to the greens, drainage, the playability of the course, paths along with other improvements. The council will also be improving the cottages. However, a recent bat survey revealed the presence of roosting bats within the cottages, which are legally protected, and are working with an ecologist to ensure the refurbishment is carried out correctly and in line with the National England mitigation license that has been granted. Post-pandemic On 19 August 2023, the golf course was vandalised by quadbikers which damaged the club's greens and left part of the course unusable to the club's members. The club's committee member, Matthew Longland, said this was the fourth time the course had been subjected to vandalism in 2023 and it would take until the end of the year for the green to recover.
