Holy Trinity Church, Trinity Square

Holy Trinity Church, Nottingham was a Church of England church in Nottingham from 1841 to 1958. History It was designed by the architect Henry Isaac Stevens. It was a church in the early English style, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, was consecrated on 13 October 1841 by John Kaye the Bishop of Lincoln; its external dimensions were 129 feet (39 m) by 64 feet (20 m), and it had a square tower, on which was an octagonal lantern 24 feet (7.3 m) high, surmounted with a spire rising 29 feet (8.8 m) feet. It was built at a cost of £10,000 (equivalent to £896,960 in 2025). The living was in the gift of Trustees; and had a net income of £400. It was built on land released under the 1839 enclosure of Burton Leys and out of the parish of St. Mary's Church, Nottingham. In 1859, the parishioners built Trinity Free Church as a chapel of ease to Holy Trinity. This later became independent as St. Stephen's Church, Bunker's Hill. The church was closed for a period in 1873 when a major restoration was undertaken. The chancel was lengthened by 16 feet (4.9 m) and the ceiling was decorated, the high box-shaped pews were docked, and the organ was removed from the west-end gallery to the chancel. The restoration work was carried out under the supervision of architect William Arthur Heazell at a cost of £1,650 (equivalent to £160,000 in 2025). The spire was the tallest in Nottingham. Unfortunately, the spire was declared unsafe after the heavy bombing raid in the Second World War, although there was some dispute as to whether the bombing had caused the damage, and it was removed by October 1942. Stones from the spire were used in the new drive at St John the Evangelist's Church, Carrington when the entrance from Mansfield Road was walled up and a new drive created from Church Drive, and other stones were incorporated into a wall on the Carrington Lido side of St John's Church. In 1954, Canon R.J.R. Skipper of Holy Trinity Church, Lenton, died in the pulpit whilst preaching. Incumbents Organ The organ was built by J.W. Walker and installed in 1845. It was renovated in 1873 by Lloyd and Dudgeon of Nottingham when it moved from the west end gallery to the newly extended chancel. On closure of the church in 1958, the organ was moved to Holy Trinity Church, Clifton, but no longer exists there. Organists Closure and demolition The church was demolished in 1958 and the Trinity Square site used for a multi-storey car park until 2006. This has now been redeveloped as the Trinity Square shopping centre. The church name was preserved with the new Holy Trinity Church, opened in 1958 in the Nottingham suburb of Clifton.

Hope Valley College

Hope Valley College is an academy school. It is adjacent to the Peakshole Water, in the High Peak district. It provides education to pupils aged 11–16. History The school was first opened in September 1958, although only officially so in July 1959, celebrating its fiftieth anniversary in 2009. The college also received a specialism in Applied Learning with Gifted and Talented in March 2009, making it the first school in Derbyshire to be awarded three specialisms. In September 2019 the school joined Chorus Education Trust, a local multi-academy trust (MAT) led by Silverdale School in Sheffield. Admissions Hope Valley College is a smaller than average secondary school, with 570 students in 2022–23. Students travel from across North Derbyshire, as well as Greater Manchester and the outskirts of Sheffield, to attend the school. It follows the admissions arrangements run by Derbyshire County Council. The catchment area is therefore extremely large, with students and parents attracted by its distinctive identity, location in the Peaks, and broad curriculum. Hope Valley College does not have a sixth form. However, it opened a post-16 education centre for children with learning difficulties and disabilities in September 2012. Hope Valley students have priority access into Silverdale Sixth Form, one of the highest-achieving sixth forms in Sheffield. Academic performance and educational offer In 2019, the school achieved the third-highest Progress 8 score in Derbyshire out of all non-selective schools. The Progress 8 score was +0.28. In February 2018, Hope Valley College received an academic performance score by Ofsted of 'Inadequate'. The Ofsted inspectors identified poor communication as 'hindering school improvement'. Hope Valley College accordingly became a new academy within Chorus Education Trust on 1 September 2019. Ofsted usually inspects all new schools within their third year of operation, although as of April 2023 this has not yet taken place. Work with the community Hope Valley College was originally planned as a village college, and in its early years provided adult education classes, as well as community facilities such as a library and creche. The first Warden (namely principal), John Houghton, said in 1959 that '[w]e wish also to preserve and develop the rural crafts, music and drama, which are an essential part of our English country tradition'. During the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown, design and technology staff in the school used their department's machines to produce protective face visors for frontline staff. The school also hosts the annual Hope Valley Film Festival, run by local parents. Notable alumni Alumni also include Rowan Rheingans, member of folk trio Lady Maisery, and professional rock climber Pete Whittaker. References External links School Website Ofsted Report
Hope and Anchor, Islington

Hope and Anchor is a pub and upstairs theatre (The Hope Theatre) on Upper Street, in the London Borough of Islington which first opened its doors in 1880. During the mid-1970s it was one of the first pubs to embrace the emergent, but brief, phenomenon of pub rock. With the decline of this movement, the pub went on to become a leading venue in the punk rock movement. Hope and Anchor is still an operational pub and live music venue today, owned and operated by the Greene King brewing company. It is a Grade II listed building. History When The Tally Ho pub in Kentish Town decided to switch from showcasing rock music to Irish music, Hope and Anchor became the venue to go to in north London. The nights grew and developed under the stewardship of managers Fred Grainger and Dave Robinson, both of whom later moved on to other things (Grainger to open a nightclub in Brighton, Robinson to co-found independent record label Stiff Records with Jake Riviera). In January 1976, the venue was acquired by Albion Management and Agency, who installed John Eichler as the landlord. In the light of numerous threats of closure, Eichler organised various benefits in order to keep the pub open, with well-established bands returning to the pub to perform for only expenses. Ian Grant of Albion Management and Agency narrowed down a long list to a final twenty two bands – all of which had played at the pub previously. 'The Front Row Festival', which took place between Tuesday 22 November and Thursday 15 December 1977, featured numerous pub rock, punk, and new wave groups. The recordings were issued as an eponymous live double album, which reached No. 28 in the UK Albums Chart. The Stranglers recorded their album Live at the Hope and Anchor at the pub, also in 1977. The venue was the location for The Damned's "New Rose" video the previous year and later for Madness' "One Step Beyond" video. The demo of "Between You and Me" from the first Graham Parker album, Howlin' Wind, was recorded in the basement. The pub was also featured in the 1980 film, Breaking Glass.The Fierce and the Dead recorded their Live At The Hope & Anchor EP there in 2020. References
Hornsey Central Hospital

Hornsey Cottage Hospital, later Hornsey Central Hospital, was a local hospital in Crouch End, North London, opened in 1910. It closed in 2001, and was replaced by a polyclinic in 2009. History A proposal for a 'hospital for the poor' was first made in 1897. Local fund raising eventually led to construction of the Hornsey Cottage Hospital on land provided by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. The foundation stone was laid in 1907. Opening in 1910, the original hospital had sixteen beds. Following the First World War a war memorial was built at the site, to commemorate 1,200 people from the borough who had died in the war. In 1924 the building was expanded, with a further 22 beds and a new operating theatre. In 1927 a further small extension was made and it was renamed as Hornsey Central Hospital. A nurses' home was added in 1930 and a children's ward (the Southwood Wing) in 1938. After the introduction of the National Health Service in 1948, the hospital was administered by the North West Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board. A further extension was made in 1956. The site continued as a general hospital until 1974, when it specialised in acute cases. In 1981 it became a geriatric hospital, providing long-term care for the elderly. In 1998 the local health authority decided that the hospital could no longer provide modern health care and it closed in 2001. The hospital was subsequently demolished and redeveloped as the Hornsey Central Neighbourhood Health Centre. The war memorial was retained.

Hotham Park House

Hotham Park House is a Grade II* listed 18th-century country house in Bognor Regis, West Sussex, England. It stands in the 22-acre (8.9 ha) Hotham Park, now a public open space. The house, originally called Chapel House after a nearby chapel, was built in 1792 by Sir Richard Hotham, the founder of Bognor, as his main residence. After the chapel was demolished in the 1850s, the house was renamed Bersted Lodge, then Aldwick Manor and subsequently Hotham Lodge. It is built of stuccoed brick in two storeys with a six-bay (but 10 window) frontage. History Sir Richard Hotham, a London hatter, moved to the Bognor area in the late 18th century and laid the foundation stone of the town in 1787. He commissioned the building of the present house, with its own private chapel, in 1792, but died a few years later in 1799. In the early 1800s, the house belonged to a Jamaican planter Thomas Smith who had married Susannah Mackworth-Praed. He died in 1825 but his widow continued to live in the house until her own death in 1856. Her brother-in-law, John Bourke, 4th Earl of Mayo, died there in 1849. John Ballett Fletcher bought the house in 1857 and had the chapel demolished, except for its tower. In 1899 the house, then called Bersted Lodge, passed to his eldest son William Holland Ballett Fletcher (1852–1941) who renamed it Aldwick Manor in honour of the fact that he had inherited the Lordship of the Manor of Aldwick. He improved the surrounding parkland by planting trees, shrubs and exotic plants in collaboration with Kew Gardens. His only son was killed on active service in 1915 and when he himself died in 1941 the house was taken over by the Ministry of Pensions for the remainder of the Second World War. After the war the park was acquired by the then Bognor Regis Urban District Council and developed as an amenity for the people of Bognor. The house itself remained empty until 1977, at which time it was acquired and renovated by Abraham Singer and subsequently converted into luxury flats. It was designated a Grade II* listed building in 1971. Today the house is owned by Arun District Council, but leases the flats via a head lease.

Hovercraft Museum

The Hovercraft Museum, in Lee-on-the-Solent, Hampshire, England is a museum run by a registered charity dedicated to hovercraft. The museum has a collection of over 60 hovercraft of various designs. Situated at Solent Airport Daedalus by the large slipway from where many hovercraft have been tested, the museum collection includes SR.N5 and SR.N6 hovercraft. The collection also contains the last remaining SR.N4 craft, the world's largest civil hovercraft, which has been laid up in Lee-on-the-Solent since cross-Channel services ceased on 1 October 2000. The museum houses the world's largest library of documents, publications, film, video, photographs and drawings on hovercraft, all of which is available for research by prior arrangement. A number of hovercraft manufacturers have deposited their complete archives with the museum for safekeeping, thus swelling this important repository of information. The museum also contains a large collection of original manufacturers' hovercraft models including the world's first working hovercraft model built by Christopher Cockerell. The museum reopened in January 2016 after being closed for essential structural building work over nearly two years. Shortly afterwards the remaining SR.N4 craft came under threat of scrapping when the site owners, the Homes and Communities Agency, proposed the redevelopment of the land. The museum trust started a petition calling for one of the craft to be preserved. In October 2023 the Hovercraft Museum achieved Arts Council England Accreditation, joining more than 1700 museums also taking part in the scheme.
