Hopkins House, Hampstead

The Hopkins House at 49a Downshire Hill is the common name given to the high-tech home and workspace in Hampstead, London (1976), designed by architects Michael and Patty Hopkins. It has been described as a "genuine icon of the High Tech movement". The house won a RIBA Award for Architecture in 1977 and a Civic Trust Award in 1979. History and description Though the house has no formal name (simply a street number 49a) it was the first project of Michael and Patty Hopkins' architecture practice, Michael Hopkins and Partners (now Hopkins Architects), founded in 1976. It remains their "calling card" over 40 years later. The couple believed at the time architecture would soon combine with engineering and increasingly favour prefabricated, ultra-lightweight construction. Design of the slender post and beam structure is attributed to Anthony Hunt, who worked closely with the British High Tech Architects during the 1970s and early 1980s. The building was designed as "a machine for both living and working in". It was a simple two-storey glass and steel box, with few permanent interior partitions, only occasional plastic panels for privacy of the bathrooms and sleeping areas. The steel frame structure is left clearly visible. Patty Hopkins describes the technique as "really very basic 16th-century engineering", though replacing crafted timber joints with sophisticated metal joints, rods, and tension cables. The house is reached from the street by a 'drawbridge' entering at the first floor level. As such, the house appears to be only one floor in height from the street. It easily gained planning permission because the site was already expected to have a much larger four-storey building developed at that spot. The couple paid £30,000 for the site and a further £20,000 to complete the construction. The house was used as the offices of Michael Hopkins and Partners for the next eight years (until the practice outgrew the space and moved to Marylebone). It served as an advertisement for the company's work and clients would be keen to visit. The Hopkins family also lived in the building and their three children grew up there. Defying convention, there was nothing to physically distinguish the work space from the living areas, other than the fact the family generally stayed on the ground floor and the work was carried out above. All the same, Patty Hopkins recalled having to hide the bed to make the work area look more professional. She also found it easier to reinforce the children's behavioural boundaries when business was regularly being conducted nearby. The couple continued to use the house as their London home. The Hopkins House was designated a Grade II* listed building in 2018. References
Old Red Lion, Holborn

The Old Red Lion is a pub at 72 High Holborn on the corner with Red Lion Street, Holborn, London. The pub was established by the sixteenth century, and was rebuilt in its present form in 1899, and retains its original Victorian character. The Red Lyon was the most important inn in Holborn, and Red Lion Street and Red Lion Square are named after it. According to legend, in 1660, King Charles II had the bodies of Oliver Cromwell and his fellow Roundheads John Bradshaw and Henry Ireton exhumed to stage an execution of their corpses, and the bodies were stored overnight in the pub's yard en route to the gallows at Tyburn. The room upstairs is named the Cromwell Bar. In 1621, the innkeeper of the Red Lion was indicted for his extortionate prices under statutes of 1389 (13 Rich 2 c.8) and 1402 (4 Hen 4 c.25). He was selling oats at 2s 8d a bushel, a mark-up of around 60% on the market price. References
Derventio (Papcastle)

Derventio was a Roman settlement at Papcastle on the river Derwent near Cockermouth, Cumbria, England. It was the site of a Roman fort, which was originally built in timber and rebuilt in stone. There was also a civilian settlement (vicus). It is sometimes called Derventio Carvetiorum by modern writers (after the people known as the Carvetii) to distinguish it from other places named Derventio, but there is no evidence of that extended name being used in the Roman period. A major Roman road linked Derventio to Old Carlisle near Wigton and Carlisle itself (Luguvalium) to the northeast, whilst a separate road led northwest to the coastal fort of Alauna just north of Maryport. In the 12th century the Normans removed Roman stonework from the site and used it to build Cockermouth Castle. Conservation and excavation The fort was known to antiquarians from William Camden onwards; the first modern excavation was by R. G. Collingwood in 1912. A further dig in 1961-1962 led to the immediate designation of the site of the forts and part of the vicus as an ancient monument. These excavations suggested Papcastle was occupied from the late first century to ca. 120AD, and then from ca. 160AD to the late fourth century. The first fort had timber barracks and was smaller than the second fort which extended slightly west and south of it (and had stone barracks). The barracks were rebuilt around the end of the 3rd century; a commander's house dated to the fourth century was also uncovered in the 1961-2 excavations. Recent excavations An excavation of sites in the vicus, between the fort and the river Derwent, was featured in an episode of the television programme Time Team (Series 6, episode 2) broadcast in 1999. During floods in 2009, floodwater cut across various loops of the Derwent; south of the Derwent, opposite Papcastle, this led to the erosion of up to a metre of topsoil, and the exposure of pottery and other Roman material. Roman activity at Papcastle had not previously been thought to extend south of the Derwent. Further archaeological digs were undertaken in 2010 - 2015 which indicate that the Roman settlement was far greater than previously thought. Excavations south of the river in 2010 discovered a large Roman water mill with monumental masonry (one of the most complete yet excavated in Britain) and its associated mill race. Further digs were then carried out north of the river, a substantial mansio and bathhouse being revealed during the 2012 campaign. The indications were that Derventio had been at its peak (and possibly of similar importance to Carlisle or Corbridge) in the late 1st and early 2nd century AD. However, further excavation south of the river in 2014 found the foundations of a bridge abutment, and of a bridge pier (the Derwent in Roman times had evidently flowed slightly to the south of its present course). The surviving foundations contained significant amounts of worked stone (funerary monuments and statue fragments), which would suggest the bridge to post-date much of the other construction activity.

Glenridding House

Glenridding House is a Regency era building in Glenridding on Ullswater, constructed between 1807 and 1814. It was a private summer villa until about 1860 and then became a guest house. It has recently been fully restored and is now a country house bed and breakfast and wedding venue. The building is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. Early history The Reverend Henry Askew (1766–1852) who was the Rector of Greystoke, built the house in about 1810. Records show that he bought the land from John Mounsey who owned the Manor of Glenridding, in 1807. His house was completed by 1814. This is known because in this year William Green, the famous English landscape painter published a series of prints each of which was described. The description for No 53 called “Ullswater Head” (which is shown) states “the house not long ago erected by Rev Henry Askew is on the right.” Henry was born in 1766 in Lancashire. His father Anthony Askew was a doctor and owned Storrs Hall In Lancashire. In 1799 Henry married Anne Sunderland who was the daughter of the well known artist Thomas Sunderland. In about 1820 Thomas drew a view of Ullswater in which he included Glenridding House. This drawing is shown. He also drew a picture of the house which he called “The Rev Askew’s House at Glenridding”. This artwork is held by the Fitzwilliam Museum. Henry died in 1852 and his son Henry William Askew sold the property. The advertisement for the sale in 1854 contained the following description. To be sold on the banks of Ullswater, one mile from Patterdale, the Mansion House of Glenridding with 25 acres of land sloping down to the lake including most productive gardens and pleasure grounds with green and hot houses in full bearing. The house contains dining room, drawing room (40 foot long), morning room, 8 bed rooms, 4 dressing rooms, 3 water closets and ample accommodation for servants. Also offices and cellars, coach houses and stabling for 10 horses and gardener’s house. The above is one of the most admired places in the Lake District and the scenery stands unrivalled. A daily post passes and re-passes the gate as does also two four horse coaches during the summer. After the sale of the house in 1854, the property became mostly accommodation for tourists and visitors. One of these was Charles Darwin who holidayed at Glenridding House in 1881. Charles Darwin at Glenridding House In June 1881 Charles Darwin stayed at Glenridding House with his family for a five-week holiday. His daughter Hanrietta wrote about their stay. She said: it was an especial happiness to my mother for the rest of her life to remember her little strolls with my father to the side of the lake. I have a vivid picture in my mind of the two often setting off alone together for a certain favourite walk by the edge of some fine rocks going sheer down into the lake Darwin himself wrote of the holiday, saying "This place is magnificently beautiful, and I enjoy the scenery".

South Park (Oxford)

Der South Park ist ein Park im Osten der englischen Stadt Oxford. Das etwa 20 Hektar große Gelände liegt auf einem Hügel; neben dem direkt angrenzenden Headington Hill Park handelt es sich um den größten Park der Stadt – die 10 Hektar größeren University Parks nördlich des Stadtzentrums befinden sich im Eigentum der University of Oxford. South Park besteht zu einem großen Teil aus freier Fläche und erlaubt so den Blick über die mittelalterliche Altstadt Oxfords. Nordöstlich des Parks befinden sich die Grundstücke der Oxford Brookes University und Cheney School. Im Park selbst finden zahlreiche Veranstaltungen statt: die jährliche Parade des Lord Mayors ebenso wie das jährliche Feuerwerk des Oxford Round Table. Aufgrund seiner Aussicht diente der Park als Drehort für zahlreiche Film- und Fernsehproduktionen, die in Oxford gedreht wurden, ebenso wie die Freifläche sich für Konzertveranstaltungen anbietet. Das Land war bis 1939 Privateigentum der Familie Morrell, die auf ihm auch ihren Sitz hatte und nach der die heute südlich am Park entlang laufende Morrell Avenue benannt ist. 1939 erwarb der Oxford Preservation Trust den Park und übergab ihn 1951 an die Stadt Oxford. Direkt gegenüber vom South Park liegt der Headington Hill Park, die beiden sind nur durch die Headington Road getrennt, die Oxford mit dem östlichen Stadtteil Headington und später mit London verbindet. Die aus Oxford stammende Band Radiohead veranstaltete anlässlich der Albumveröffentlichung von Amnesiac am 7. Juli 2001 ein Minifestival im Park. Neben Radiohead spielten Beck, Sigur Rós, Supergrass und Humphrey Lyttelton. Es kamen über 40.000 Menschen – die bis dato größte Zuschauermenge im Park. In den 2010er Jahren wurden über den Park verteilt verschiedene Fitnessgeräte aufgestellt und im Osten ein großzügiger Abenteuerspielplatz errichtet. Weblinks Seite der Stadt Oxford zum Park
South Park, Oxford

South Park is a park on Headington Hill in east Oxford, England. It is the largest park within Oxford city limits. A good view of the city centre with its historic spires and towers of Oxford University can be obtained at the park's highest point, a favourite location for photographers. Location The park is located alongside Headington Road. St Clement's links the park with central Oxford. A 19th-century bridge links the park with Headington Hill Park. On the southern boundary is the gently curving Morrell Avenue, named after a local brewery family. At the top end of the park is the Oxford Artisan Distillery, established in 2017 within the former Cheney Farm buildings. History The land was privately owned by the Morrell family of Headington Hill Hall until bought by the Oxford Preservation Trust in 1932 to preserve it as open space. In 1951 the Trust gave the land to the city of Oxford. A carved stone by the sculptor Eric Gill is located at the foot of the Park and records the Trust's gift thus: This park was acquired by the Oxford Preservation Trust through the liberality of the Pilgrim Trust and David and Joanna Randall-MacIver 1932 Events Many events are held in the park including the annual parade of the Lord Mayor and the annual fund-raising fireworks display of the Oxford branch of Round Table. On 7 July 2001, the rock band Radiohead performed a concert to more 40,000 people, with supporting performances by Beck, Humphrey Lyttelton, Sigur Rós, Rock of Travolta and Hestor Thrale. According to journalist Alex Ross, the show may have been the largest public gathering in Oxford history. Spanish anti-fascist memorial Just outside South Park is the Oxford Spanish Civil War memorial which is dedicated to local residents who travelled to Spain to join the International Brigades to fight against fascist forces backed by Hitler and Mussolini during the Spanish Civil War 1936-1939. The memorial is located where Headington Road meets Morrell Avenue. During the Spanish Civil War, 29 British people with connections to Oxfordshire joined the International Brigades, with a further 2 who joined POUM. Most of the volunteers were communist activists, and many had links to Britain's Jewish communities. Oxford was a hub for anti-fascist activism, homes within the county housed hundreds of Basque refugee children and various physical fights between anti-fascist activists and the Oxford University Fascist Association. The memorial was the focus of minor controversy when all plans to have an anti-fascist memorial in the city centre were rejected by Oxford City Council, until the current site was agreed upon.

No. 1 Court

No. 1 Court (česky dvorec č. 1) je tenisový stadion, druhý největší dvorec areálu All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, který leží v jihozápadní londýnské části Wimbledon. Otevřen byl v červnu 1997. Jeho povrch tvoří tráva ve formě odolného 100 % víceletého jílku vytrvalého, který je stříhán na výšku 8 milimetrů. Rekonstrukce dokončená v roce 2019 znamenala zastřešení dvorce zatahovací střechou, druhou v areálu po centrálním kurtu, a navýšení kapacity na 12 345 diváků. Střecha hlediště má kruhový tvar. Daviscupový tým Velké Británie jej také využívá ke svým utkáním v Davis Cupu. Každoročně se na něm hraje třetí grandslam sezóny Wimbledon. Spolu s centrálním dvorcem a dvorcem č. 2 se na něm odehrály tenisové soutěže Letních olympijských her 2012. Historie 1924–1997: Bývalý dvorec č. 1 Původní dvorec č. 1 vznikl v roce 1924 západně od Centre Courtu. Úvodní duel sehráli britští tenisté Brian Gilbert a Noel Turnbull. Následující den měl premiéru zápas ženské dvouhry mezi Suzanne Lenglenovou a Sylvií Lumley-Ellisovou. Základní kapacita činila 3 250 diváků, z toho tvořily 2 500 sedadla a přibližně 750 míst bylo k stání. V průběhu následujících let došlo k navýšení na 7 328 návštěvníků 700 míst bylo přidáno roku 1929, dalších 450 v roce 1939, 900 míst v roce 1955 a 1 250 sedadel roku 1981, což znamenalo celkovou kapacitu 6 508 diváků. Řada hráčů si dvorec oblíbila pro jeho intimní atmosféru. V letech 1946–1972 se zde konal Wightman Cup, každoroční ženská týmová soutěž mezi Spojenými státy a Velkou Británií. Původní dvorec byl zbourán ve druhé polovině 90. let dvacátého století. Na jeho místě vzniklo nové centrum pro média a zázemí hráčů, funkcionářů a členů klubu nazvané Millennium Building. Od 1997: Nový dvorec č. 1 Dvorec č. 1 nahradil kurt téhož jména v červnu 1997, který stál na západní straně centrálního dvorce od roku 1924. Důvodem byl nízký počet sedadel. Nový dvorec č. 1 vznikl v Aorangi Parku severně od Centre Courtu, s kapacitou 11 432 diváků. Otevřen byl 23. června 1997. Při zahajovacím ceremoniálu se představilo deset bývalých šampionů, kteří vyhráli alespoň tři trofeje. První zápas v ročníku 1997 odehráli Tim Henman a Daniel Nestor. V dubnu 2013 All England Club potvrdil záměr výstavby zatahovací střechy. Rekonstrukce byla dokončena v roce 2019 a slavnostní otevření proběhlo 19. května téhož roku. Navýšena byla i kapacita na 12 345 diváků. V rámci ceremoniálu se na kurtu představili bývalí wimbledonští vítězové Pat Cash, Lleyton Hewitt, Goran Ivanišević, Jamie Murray, Kim Clijstersová, Venus Williamsová, John McEnroe, a Martina Navrátilová.
