Queens' College (Cambridge)

El Queens' College es uno de los colleges que conforman la Universidad de Cambridge. Se fundó en dos ocasiones: inicialmente en 1448 por Margarita de Anjou (esposa de Enrique VI) y de nuevo en 1465 por Isabel Woodville (esposa de Eduardo IV). Esta doble fundación se refleja en la ortografía de su nombre: "Queens'"en vez de "Queen's", aunque el nombre completo es The Queen’s College of St Margaret and St Bernard in the University of Cambridge (El Queen's College de Santa Margarita y San Bernardo en la Universidad de Cambridge).​ Queens’ es el segundo de los colleges que está más al sur en las orillas del Cam, principalmente en la rivera este. (Los otros –por orden de distancia– son el King’s, el Clare, el Trinity Hall, el St John’s y el Magdalene el norte, y al sur el Darwin.) El President’s Lodge de Queens' es el edificio más antiguo en el río en Cambridge, data de 1460. Queens’ College es también uno de los dos únicos colleges que tienen edificios a ambos lados del Cam, el otro college es St John’s. El puente matemático El Puente Matemático une la mitad antigua del college (llamada de forma afectiva por los estudiantes como El lado oscuro) con la mitad nueva (el lado claro). Es una de las estampas más fotografiadas en Cambridge; la foto típica es sacada desde el cercano puente de Silver Street. La leyenda popular dice que el puente fue diseñado y construido por Sir Isaac Newton, sin el uso de pernos o tuercas, y en algún momento del pasado los estudiantes o becarios intentaron desmontar el puente y volverlo a colocar en su sitio. El mito continúa diciendo que los ambiciosos ingenieros fueron incapaces de igualar la hazaña de Newton, y tuvieron que recurrir a la fijación del puente mediante tuercas y tornillos. Esta es la razón por la que actualmente se pueden ver tuercas y tornillos en el puente. Esta historia es falsa: el puente fue construido en 1749 por James Essex el joven (1722-1784) con el diseño de William Etheridge (1709-1776), 22 años después de la muerte de Newton. Posteriormente fue reconstruido en 1866 y 1905, siguiendo el mismo diseño. Nunca fue desmontado, debido a que el peso de los estudiantes que pasan sobre él pudiera causar un derrumbe.

Queens' College (Cambridge)

Il Queen's College of St Margaret and St Bernard, abbreviato in Queens' College, è una delle più antiche scuole costituenti l'Università di Cambridge. Fu fondato nel 1448 da Margherita d'Angiò, moglie del sovrano Enrico VI, a sua volta fondatore del King's College. Nel 1465 fu rifondato da Elisabetta Woodville, regina consorte di Edoardo IV e questa doppia progenitura giustifica l'ortografia del nome (Queens' College = Collegio delle regine) che rende omaggio a entrambe le fondatrici; il nome completo della scuola è un tributo ai santi Margherita di Antiochia e Bernardo di Chiaravalle. Descrizione Il Queens' College è uno dei college che hanno edifici lungo la sponda del Cam (gli altri sono il King's, il Clare, il Trinity Hall, il Trinity, il St John's ed il Magdalene). Il President's Lodge (alloggio del Presidente) del Queens' è il più antico edificio di Cambridge ad essere situato sul fiume, costruito intorno al 1460. Il Queens' College è anche uno dei due college che hanno edifici del corpo principale su entrambi i lati del Cam (L'altro è il St John's). Il 'Mathematical Bridge' (Ponte matematico) collega la parte più antica del college (soprannominata dagli studenti "Lato oscuro") con la parte più recente ("Il lato chiaro"), ed è una delle viste più fotografate a Cambridge (solitamente fotografato dal vicino ponte di Silver Street). Secondo la leggenda popolare, il ponte fu originariamente progettato da Sir Isaac Newton senza usare dadi e bulloni, ed in passato gli studenti (o i fellows) hanno tentato di smontare e rimontare il ponte. Il mito continua sostenendo che questi ingegneri troppo ambiziosi non siano stati in grado di raggiungere la bravura di Newton, ed abbiano dovuto arrendersi e tenere in piedi il ponte con dadi e bulloni. La storia è falsa: il ponte fu costruito nel 1749 da James Essex il Giovane (1722-1784) su progetto di William Etheridge (1709-1776), 22 anni dopo la morte di Newton. Fu ricostruito nel 1866 e nel 1905, sullo stesso progetto. Il Queens' è unico tra i college di Cambridge per la sala multifunzionale Fitzpatrick Hall. Il livello di accessibilità concesso agli studenti permette loro di fare teatro, cinema, feste ed attività sportive.

Swinden Quarry

Swinden Quarry is 0.6 miles (1 km) north of the village of Cracoe, and 1.9 miles (3 km) south-west of Grassington in North Yorkshire, England. It is owned by LaFarge Tarmac. The former Skipton-Grassington railway line still serves this location, and in railway terminology, the site is known as Rylstone Quarry. Swinden Quarry railway yard is near the village of Cracoe, at the northern end of the old Skipton to Grassington line built by the Yorkshire Dales Railway. It is now the terminus of the line as the portion north of there to the former terminus at Threshfield was closed in 1969 and subsequently lifted (the B6265 road now passes across the old formation just beyond the buffer stops). Quarry details Although quarrying in the vicinity of the modern day concern dates back to 1793, the current quarry works were started by P. W. Spencer in 1899, and greatly enlarged in 1902 with the opening of the adjacent railway. The quarry is set deep into the landscape and despite some surface workings being visible from the B6265 road, most of the site is hidden as a result of it being dug down out of a hill. Much of the industrial plant machinery was moved from the exterior of the plant and into the quarry workings, so that they are hidden by the high surrounding banks of the quarry itself. In 1971, production at the site was greatly increased due to the company (Tilcon) winning a British Steel contract. Two new kilns were brought in to operate 24 hours a day, but this had the side-effect of spewing calcium dust over the surrounding area, and in 1983, the company was ordered by the High Court to pay compensation and legal costs of £120,000 (equivalent to £408,000 in 2025). Products exported from the site include roadstone, agricultural lime, industrial carbonate, crushed rock aggregate & pre-cast concrete products. A significant tonnage of the quarried material is exported from the site by rail, although there can be up to 42,000 lorry journeys on the B6265 per year. As part of a proposal to extend the life of the quarry beyond 2030, the owners have indicated a greater reliance on rail transport with a consistent reduction of lorry movements. The site has been designated as an SSSI, as the quarrying has exposed the Carboniferous Limestone and shows how the stone developed through the different beds of rock. The rail loading area is used as a park and ride facility for the annual Christmas festival at Grassington. Railfreight services Limestone services from the quarry are operated to Dairycoates (Hull), Leyland and Marsh Lane/Hunslet (Leeds) by GB Railfreight. GB Railfreight also previously operated occasional services of limestone to Small Heath and Wellingborough. See also Tarmac References External links Tarmac official site on Swinden Quarry.
Swindon Academy

Swindon Academy is a non-selective co-educational school within the English academy programme, in the Pinehurst area of Swindon, north of the town centre. It caters for children aged 3 to 19 and has 1,883 pupils on roll as of September 2023. History The history of senior school education in Swindon can be traced back to the 19th century. In 1943, the college and Euclid Street Secondary Schools amalgamated to become Headlands Grammar School, a selective mixed school for those who passed the Eleven plus. With some 800 boys and girls, it moved into new buildings on the site of the present school in 1952. In 1964, the Grammar School became a comprehensive school for students aged 14–19, changing its name to the Headlands School. It later lost its Sixth form, becoming an 11–16 school. In 2001 Ofsted judged the school to have serious weaknesses. The school was closed in summer 2004 and re-opened through the Fresh Start scheme with the same name as a community school in the autumn term of 2004. As a result of a further merging of schools, Swindon Academy opened on the site in September 2007, replacing Headlands School, Pinehurst Junior School, and Pinehurst Infant School. The former grammar school buildings were demolished in December 2009. Admissions As of September 2007, it is run by United Learning, formerly the United Church Schools Trust. It operates on a non-denominational basis, but follows the Christian, specifically Church of England, ethos of its parent organisation. It is situated in the civil parish of Central Swindon North, near Upper Stratton and Pinehurst at the junction of Cricklade Road (A4311) and Beechcroft Road (B4006). Academic performance From the formation of the Swindon LEA in 1997 until the school's closure in 2006, Headlands was consistently 2nd from bottom (1998 and 1999) or bottom (2000 onwards) of the Swindon schools league table when based on Level 2 results (5+ GCSEs at grades A*-C). On at least one occasion, it was also bottom of the National league table. Since being replaced by the Swindon Academy, results have improved and despite being the lowest ranking in Swindon for the years 2008 and 2009, the academy is currently fourth from bottom if measured on Level 2 results. The academy achieved a score 72% for five A*–C grades at GCSE, although the number achieving five A*–C grade GCSEs (or equivalent) including maths and English is 37%, or 31% if GCSE equivalents are excluded. When measured on this criterion, the Swindon Academy is bottom of the Swindon league table, and has been since its creation in 2007. It is also well below the Swindon and national averages when based on this measurement.

Swindon Mechanics' Institute

Swindon Mechanics' Institute is a Grade II* listed building in Swindon, Wiltshire, England. It is located in the railway village area, which is today part of a conservation area. The Swindon Mechanics' Institute served workers from the Swindon Railway Works. History A library was started in Swindon in 1843, and the following year the Mechanics' Institution was founded "for the purpose of disseminating useful knowledge and encouraging rational amusement" among the Great Western Railway's employees. The first president was Daniel Gooch. There were fifteen founder members, and the library then held about 130 books. Paid for via subscription by the GWR workers based at Swindon Railway Works, the building was designed and constructed by Edward Roberts and completed in 1855. It contained a lending library and provided health services to workers. It was enlarged in 1892-93 to a design by Brightwen Binyon, after which the committee opened up its health services to other local workers. Nye Bevan, mastermind of the NHS, later said: There was a complete health service in Swindon. All we had to do was expand it to the country. After the Institute closed in 1986, and after succumbing to both vandals and arsonists, it was saved from demolition by the council. In 2003 the building was acquired by Forefront Estates, who have been served with an urgent works notice by the Borough of Swindon. References

Swing Bridge, River Tyne

The Swing Bridge is a swing bridge over the River Tyne, England, connecting Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead, and lying between the Tyne Bridge and the High Level Bridge. It is a Grade II* listed structure. History The Swing Bridge stands on the site of the Old Tyne Bridges of 1270 and 1781, and probably of the original Roman Pons Aelius bridge. The previous bridge on the site was demolished in 1868 to enable larger ships to move upstream to William Armstrong's works. The hydraulic Swing Bridge was designed and paid for by Armstrong, with work beginning in 1873. It was first used for road traffic on 15 June 1876 and opened for river traffic on 17 July 1876. At the time of construction it was the largest swing bridge ever built. The construction cost was £240,000. The hydraulic power used to move the bridge was originally derived from steam-driven pumps, which were replaced by electrically-driven pumps in 1959. These feed a hydraulic accumulator sunk into a 60 ft (18 m) shaft below the bridge; the water is then released under pressure which runs the machinery to turn the bridge. The mechanism used for this is still the same machinery originally installed by Armstrong. It has a 281 ft (86 m) cantilevered span with a central axis of rotation able to move through 360° to allow vessels to pass on either side of it. The busiest year of operation was 1924 when the bridge was rotated 6,000 times, unlike current use where it is only required to turn occasionally to allow yachts and pleasure craft to pass by and on the first Wednesday of each month as a maintenance exercise. The bridge featured in the final episode and climax of the 1988 educational series Geordie Racer from Look and Read, when the villains became stranded on the bridge after a robbery. In May 2016, a fire broke out on the pontoon under the bridge. Around 215 square feet (20 m2) was affected by the blaze which was tackled by two fire crews and a fire boat. The bridge was renovated in 2018 at a cost of £200,000. The restoration involved 25,000 hours of work and 10,000 screws were used in repairs. Its reopening in August 2021 was marred by technical issues which saw the bridge unable to swing. See also Grade II* listed buildings in Tyne and Wear References External links Map sources
Puente giratorio del Tyne

El puente giratorio del Tyne conecta Newcastle upon Tyne y Gateshead, en Inglaterra. Salva el río Tyne, y está situado entre el puente del Tyne y el puente Alto. Este puente giratorio de acero está catalogado como un monumento de Grado II*.​ Historia El puente giratorio se ubica en el lugar que ocuparon los antiguos puentes del Tyne construidos en 1270 y en 1781, emplazamiento probablemente también compartido por el Pons Aelius, el puente romano original.​ El puente anterior se demolió en 1868, con el fin de permitir que barcos más grandes se trasladaran río arriba a la factoría del industrial William Armstrong.​ El puente giratorio hidráulico fue diseñado y pagado por Armstrong, y las obras comenzaron en 1873. Se utilizó por primera vez para el tráfico rodado el 15 de junio de 1876 y se abrió al tráfico fluvial el 17 de julio de 1876.​ En el momento de su construcción, era el puente giratorio más grande jamás construido. El coste de construcción fue de 240.000 libras esterlinas.​ La maquinaria hidráulica que todavía se utiliza para mover el puente hoy en día se vale de bombas accionadas eléctricamente, que alimentan un acumulador hidráulico que alcanza 60 pies (18,3 m) por debajo del puente. El agua a presión liberada impulsa la maquinaria que a su vez hace girar el puente, siendo la misma maquinaria instalada originalmente por Armstrong.​ El tablero rotativo mide de extremo a extremo 281 pies (85,6 m), con un eje central de rotación capaz de girar 360° para permitir el paso de los buques a ambos lados del punto de apoyo central.​ El año de operación más activo fue 1924, cuando el puente se giró 6.000 veces, a diferencia del uso actual, donde solo es necesario girarlo ocasionalmente para permitir el paso de yates y embarcaciones de recreo y el primer miércoles de cada mes como operación de mantenimiento.​ En mayo de 2016 se produjo un incendio en el pontón situado bajo el puente. Una superficie de 215 pies cuadrados (1997,4 dm²) se vio afectada por el incendio, que fue combatido por dos equipos de bomberos y un barco de extinción de incendios.​ El puente fue renovado en 2018 con un costo de 200.000 libras. La restauración implicó 25.000 horas de trabajo y en las reparaciones se utilizaron 10.000 tornillos.​ Su reapertura en agosto de 2021 se vio empañada por problemas técnicos que hicieron que el puente no pudiera girar.​ En la cultura popular El puente apareció en el episodio final de la serie educativa Geordie Racer del programa Look and Read de la BBC, cuando los villanos quedaron varados en el puente después de un robo.​ Referencias Enlaces externos Wikimedia Commons alberga una categoría multimedia sobre Puente giratorio del Tyne.
