Flying Fish (roller coaster)

Flying Fish is a powered steel roller coaster located at Thorpe Park in Surrey, England. The ride originally opened in 1984 under the name Space Station Zero and was relocated outdoors in 1990. It was removed in 2005 to make way for the construction of Stealth, before being reinstalled at a different location within the park in 2007. History Space Station Zero Space Station Zero opened in 1984 at Thorpe Park in England and was the park's first roller coaster, themed as a flight through outer space. Riders boarded the train and pulled down their over-the-shoulder restraints. Once the restraints were lowered and secured, the train left the station and travelled around a bend through a tunnel of flashing lights. The ride did two laps of the track, the first in the dark and the second lit by glitter balls to appear as stars. The attraction closed in 1989 for the coaster to be moved outside. Flying Fish The ride reopened in 1990, renamed The Flying Fish and relocated outdoors to an area of the Sunken Garden. The trains were refurbished to use lap bars instead of the original restraints, and received a new green and blue fish theme. In 2005 Flying Fish was removed in to make room for the construction of Stealth. The ride was reopened in 2007 after another refurbishment, now located in the Amity area between Depth Charge and Tidal Wave. The refurbishment saw the restraints updated to individual lap bars and the train repainted orange.

Flying Horse Walk

The Flying Horse Walk is a shopping arcade located at the heart of Nottingham City Centre in Nottingham, England. The arcade houses a variety of fashion boutiques and other retailers. It is situated just off the city's Old Market Square on The Poultry. The arcade takes its name from a fifteenth-century public house, the Flying Horse Inn, that is located at the Market Square end of the walk. The facade of the public house has been retained and is Grade II listed building. It was extensively restored in 1935 and converted in 1989 as an entrance to the shopping centre. History The Flying Horse Walk was acquired by London & County LLP, in September 2011, an acquisition that has seen the shopping centre revert to its previous name, from FH Mall, and acquire new retail tenants. A complete refurbishment, rebrand and the installation of horse sculptures to both entrance façades have complemented the takeover helping to put the shopping arcade, whose entrance sits within an 18th-century four storey brick Georgian elevation, back on the map. The arcade is now home to a range of independent shops selling food, fashion and fine art. London & County LLP plan to convert the two uppermost floors into student accommodation. References
Castell de Folkestone

El castell de Folkestone (Folkestone Castle) es trobava en un turó dels North Downs al nord de la ciutat de Folkestone, Kent (Anglaterra). El castell normand estava situat sobre un monticle natural i va existir a final del segle XI i començament del XII. Va ser excavat l'any 1878 per Augustus Pitt Rivers i s'ha afirmat que va ser la primera excavació d'un jaciment medieval a Gran Bretanya mitjançant mètodes científics. El castell tenia un traçat circular ("ringworks") i n'és l'exemple més gran i complet del sud-est d'Anglaterra. El seu potencial arqueològic és, per tant, considerable, com es va demostrar durant l'excavació a petita escala del general Pitt-Rivers l'any 1878. Conegut localment com a "Caesar's Camp", no és realment romà, però va ser construït probablement prop de l'any 1095 i va ser ocupat certament durant algun temps després de la invasió normanda. El turó on es troba es coneix com a Castle Hill i ofereix unes vistes esplèndides sobre la ciutat i la costa, des de Folkestone fins a Romney Marsh arribant a Dungeness, Rye i Fairlight. Els treballs de terra tenen vistes al final de l'autopista M20 i l'entrada a l'Eurotúnel a Cheriton. Referències Fry, Plantagenet Somerset, The David & Charles Book of Castles, David & Charles, 1980.

Folkestone Castle

Folkestone Castle var en normannisk borg nord for byen Folkestone i Kent i England. Borgen stod på en høj på North Downs, og blev givetvis bygget mellem 1070'erne og 1130'erne efter den normanniske erobring af England. Den blev udgravet i 1878 af Augustus Pitt Rivers og det hævdes, at det var den første udgravning i Storbritannien efter en videnskabelig metode. Under 2. verdenskrig blev der gravet skyttegrave i bakken. Stedet blev udgravet igen 1988-89, hvor der blev fundet potteskår fra 2500-1800 f.Kr. Selv om den lokalt er kendt som "Caesar's Camp" (Cæsars Lejr), er den ikke umiddelbart romersk, men det er foreslået, at den er bygget oven på et romersk forsvarsværk. Højen kendes som Castle Hill og fra den er der god udsigt over både byen og kysten til Romney Marsh og videre til Dungeness, Rye og Fairlight. Højen ligger i dag ud til motorvejen M20 og indgangen til Eurotunnelen ved Cheriton. Se også Liste over borge og slotte i England Referencer
Folkestone Castle

Folkestone Castle ist eine abgegangene Höhenburg auf einem Felsvorsprung der North Downs nördlich der Stadt Folkestone in der englischen Grafschaft Kent. Die normannische Burg auf einem natürlichen Mound existierte Ende des 11. und im 12. Jahrhundert. 1878 grub sie Augustus Pitt Rivers aus; dies gilt als erste Ausgrabung auf einem mittelalterlichen Gelände in Großbritannien, bei der wissenschaftliche Methoden angewandt wurden. Die Burgruine wird am Ort auch Caesar's Camp genannt, hat aber nichts mit dem Römischen Reich zu tun. Die Burg wurde vermutlich bereits 1095 errichtet und war sicher nach der normannischen Eroberung Englands einige Zeit belegt. Der Hügel, auf dem sie steht, heißt Castle Hill. Von dort hat man einen guten Überblick über Stadt und Küste, von Folkestone über Romney Marsh bis nach Dungeness, Rye und Fairlight. Die Erdwerke liegen heute über dem Ende der Autobahn M20 und der Einfahrt zum Eurotunnel in Cheriton. Quellen Folkestone Castle Hill. Gatehouse Gazetteer.

Folkestone Castle

Folkestone Castle stood on a spur of the North Downs to the north of the town of Folkestone, Kent (grid reference TR214380). The Norman castle existed in the late 11th and 12th centuries and was built on a natural mound which. It was excavated in 1878 by Augustus Pitt Rivers and this has been claimed to be the first excavation of a medieval site in Britain using scientific methods. Known locally as "Caesar's Camp", it is not actually Roman at all, but was probably constructed as early as 1095 and was certainly occupied for some time following the Norman invasion. The hill on which it stands is known as Castle Hill and it affords splendid views over the town and coast, from Folkestone across Romney Marsh to Dungeness, Rye and Fairlight. The earthworks now overlook the end of the M20 motorway and the entrance to the Channel Tunnel at Cheriton. References Further reading Pitt-Rivers, Augustus H. L. F. (1883).

St John Fisher Catholic High School, Peterborough

St John Fisher Catholic High School, formerly known as St. John Fisher RC Comprehensive School, is in the city of Peterborough, England, and is the only Catholic school in Cambridgeshire. The school moved back to the Park Lane site and was reopened on 25 February 2009. Sixth form The school has a sixth form with approximately half of Year 11 staying on each year to complete A level courses.

St John Fisher Catholic High School (Peterborough)

A St. John Fisher Catholic High School, régebben St. John Fisher RC School (magyarul: Szent John Fisher Római Katolikus Középiskola), Peterborough városban, Angliában található, mint Cambridgeshire egyetlen katolikus iskolája. Hosszú évekig a gimnázium a Park Lane-ről megközelíthető telken üzemelt; viszont 2007-ben a reeves way-i területre (a korábbi Hereward Community College épületébe) költözött, mivel a régi telek jelentős átalakításon esett át, amelynek célja a gimnázium felszereléseinek újítása és elavult infrastruktúrájának korszerűsítése volt. Az épület mára elkészült, egy új park lane-i kiterjesztéssel. A középiskola személyzete és tanulói 2009. február 25-én költöztek vissza az immár felújított intézménybe. "Sixth form" A legalább 5 A* és C közti GCSE minősítést szerző diákok úgynevezett "A level" kurzusokon vehetnek részt a középiskola "Sixth form" tagozatának tagjaiként. Azok a tanulók, akik nem érik el a megadott kritériumot, BTEC tanfolyamokra jelentkezhetnek, amelyek csak egy évig tartanak. A St. John Fisher Catholic High School a következő "A level" tantárgyakat kínálja: Művészetek Színházi nevelés Biológia Üzleti tanulmányok: Team Peterborough - Ken stimpson Community School Kémia Klasszikus civilizáció Informatika: Team Peterborough - The Voyager School Angol irodalom Francia nyelv Általános tanulmányok Földrajztudomány: Team Peterborough - Ken Stimpson Community School Történelem Matematika Zene Fizika: Team Peterborough - The Voyager School/Ken Stimpson Community School Terméktervezés: Team Peterborough - The Voyager School Pszichológia Vallási tanulmányok Szociológia Sport tanulmányok: Team Peterborough - Ken Stimpson Community School Textilipar BTEC Informatika BTEC Üzleti tanulmányok: Team Peterborough - Ken Stimpson Community School Az iskola vezetősége Az iskola vezetői csapata egy ún. "Head Boy"-ból (vezető fiú), egy "Head Girl"-ből (vezető lány), és a helyetteseikből áll, akiket a "Sixth form", a 11. évfolyam és az iskolai személyzet tagjai választanak meg. Új épületek és arculat Amikor bejelentésre került, hogy a gimnázium tizennégymillió fontos támogatást kap az épületek és a felszerelések korszerűsítése céljából, az igazgató még Mary Milhovilovic, az iskola neve pedig St. John Fisher RC School volt. Azonban amikor a középiskola "különleges intézkedések" alá került, Sean Hayes lett kijelölve az igazgatói posztra. Az új vezető által a következő intézkedések lettek végrehajtva: a gimnázium neve "St. John Fisher Catholic High School"-ra változott, a napi hat tanórát négy hetvenöt perces tanítási óra váltotta fel, valamint megváltozott az iskolai egyenruha és az intézmény logója is.

Fontburn

Fontburn is a drinking water reservoir situated 10 miles (16 km) northwest of the market town of Morpeth, and immediately to the east of Harwood Forest in Northumberland, England. It has a surface area of 34.979 ha and a mean depth of 9.644 m, a catchment area of 3061 ha, and is situated at 185 m altitude. History The reservoir was built at the end of the 19th century to provide drinking water for parts of southeast Northumberland. Flora and fauna The north shore is mainly vegetated with scrub and woodland, including willow, blackthorn, elder, birch, hawthorn, and hazel. Common spotted orchids grow in the base-rich flushed areas. At the extreme south eastern corner of the site there is an area of marshy grassland with abundant meadow-sweet, wild angelica, common knapweed, and sneezewort and where there is periodic flooding of the shore you can also find species like common spike rush, reed canary grass, lesser spearwort, and amphibious bistort. The presence of four British reptiles; common lizard, adder, slowworm, and grass snake, and five of Britain's native amphibians; common frog, common toad, smooth newt, palmate newt, and great crested newt mean that this an extremely valuable and important wildlife site. The grass snake records for Fontburn make this one of the most northerly authenticated colonies of this species in Britain. A Site of Special Scientific Interest, Fallowlees Flush, lies immediately to the west of Fontburn, on the slopes of one of its tributary streams. Fishing The reservoir is regularly stocked with trout and is a favoured place with fresh water anglers. As one of the operator's smaller sites, Fontburn Reservoir claims "a reputation as being a friendly, family orientated fishery".

Fontburn

Fontburn est un barrage-réservoir d’eau potable de 35 ha situé à 15 km au nord-ouest de la petite ville de Morpeth (Northumberland). Histoire Le barrage a été construit à la fin du XIXe siècle pour alimenter en eau potable une partie du sud-est du Northumberland. Faune et flore Le rivage nord est surtout couvert de broussailles et d'une ripisylve où dominent les saules, prunelliers, les sureaux, les bouleaux, l’aubépine et le noisetier. Le sabot de Vénus trouve un milieu favorable dans les limons fertiles de la zone de marnage. À l’extrême pointe sud-est de ce lac s'étend une zone marécageuse où abondent la Reine-des-prés, l’Angélique des bois, la Centaurée noire et l’achillée sternutatoire et dans la partie lagunée on trouve même la Scirpe des marais, la Baldingère faux-roseau, la Renoncule flammette et la Renouée amphibie. On relève la présence de quatre espèces de reptiles autochtones : le lézard, vipère, orvet et Couleuvre à collier, et cinq espèces d’amphibiens autochtones : la Grenouille rousse, le Crapaud commun, le triton commun, le triton palmé et le Triton crêté : la présence de ces animaux confirme la richesse biotique de cette zone humide. L'effectif de couleuvres à Fontburn en fait l'une des colonies les plus septentrionales de cette espèce en Grande-Bretagne. Il y a régulièrement des introduction de truites dans ce lac, qui est fréquenté par les amateurs de pêche à la ligne. Anciens monuments Il y a, non loin du lac, des cairns de l’Âge du bronze qu'il est facile de rallier à pied. La région est d'ailleurs appréciée des randonneurs. Notes Bibliographie H. D.

Fontwell Park Racecourse

Fontwell Park Racecourse is a horse racing course located in the village of Fontwell in West Sussex, England, owned by ARC Racing. It features a unique figure of eight steeplechase course and a conventional oval hurdles course. Fontwell Park was founded by Alfred Day who trained racehorses at The Hermitage, by the Chichester to Arundel road, from 1887. Day returned the name Fontwell to common use after researching the history of the area, and by 1924 he had purchased enough land to open the racecourse. The hurdles track was a normal shape, but the steeplechase course was laid out in a figure of eight shape to use the space on the site. The first meeting took place on 21 May 1924. The grandstand and the weighing room were built with thatched roofs. The opening race was won by Gem, the 5/4 favourite Gem, ridden by jockey Fred Rees. At the course in October 1949, Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II) had her first winner as an owner when Monaveen won the Chichester Handicap Chase. In 1984, John Francome rode his 1,036th career winner at Fontwell Park, passing Stan Mellor's record for a National Hunt jockey - Francome's record has subsequently been beaten. The feature race of the season at Fontwell Park is the Grade Two National Spirit Hurdle run over a distance of two miles and four furlongs in February. It is a recognised Cheltenham Festival trial. My Way de Solzen, trained by Alan King, won the race in 2006 before winning the World Hurdle. Lough Derg, trained by David Pipe and owned by Bill Frewen, took the prize in 2008 and 2009. Trenchant (Alan King/Robert Thornton) took the prize in 2010 and Celestial Halo (Paul Nicholls/Harry Skelton) was the winner in 2011. A new £6.5m Grandstand opened in the Premier Enclosure in August 2010 sponsored by events and plant hire company Winner Group. The course has 22 fixtures in 2024.

Foots Cray Meadows

Foots Cray Meadows is an area of parkland and woodland 97 hectares (240 acres) in size, within the London Borough of Bexley, England. It borders the suburbs of Albany Park, Sidcup, Foots Cray, North Cray and Ruxley. The River Cray runs through it in a north-easterly direction. The London Loop, a public recreational walking path around London, also known as the "M25 for walkers", runs through the meadows parallel to the river from Sidcup Place, just south of the meadows. Two notable bridges cross the River Cray in the meadows: Five Arches bridge and the smaller Penny Farthing Bridge. The Meadows are a Local Nature Reserve and a Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation. They have also received a Green Flag Award. There is access from Rectory Lane, among other places. Adjacent to the meadows is what was the kitchen garden and stables of the Foots Cray Place estate and which included a boules alley with a summer house which is still standing. History The area was originally a part of the Foots Cray Place estate, and during the 18th century the Five Arches bridge was built. At the same time, an almshouse was built adjacent to the woods, which, as of 2008, was being excavated by archaeologists belonging to Bexley Archaeological Group. Bexley Archaeological Group On 18 October 1949 Foots Cray Place caught fire and the house was destroyed. The ruins were subsequently demolished and the grounds became Foots Cray Meadows, a public park. In the early 2000s, Five Arches bridge was renovated with new stone, along with the 'Penny Farthing' bridge just upstream.
