Banqueting House, Gibside

The Banqueting House is an 18th-century building, part of the Gibside estate, near Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Its style has been described as "Gothick". A banqueting house is defined as a separate building reached through pleasure gardens from the main residence, whose use is purely for entertaining. The Gibside house was constructed in 1746, designed by Daniel Garrett for Sir George Bowes, much of whose large landholdings had coal underneath them, making him extremely wealthy. It stands in the highest part of the estate with fine views over the Derwent Valley. It contains three rooms: the main hall, which is 32 ft (9.8 m) across, and two smaller ante-chambers. The estate fell into disrepair after it was left empty in the 1920s, and the Banqueting House itself soon became a derelict shell. The estate was eventually gifted to the National Trust by the Earl of Strathmore; they in turn leased parts of it to the Forestry Commission. Conservation The Landmark Trust, after negotiating a partial surrender of the Forestry Commission's lease, acquired the Banqueting House in 1977 and set to work restoring and renovating the property, with the work completed by 1981.

Bantock House Museum and Park

Bantock House Museum and Park is a museum of Edwardian life and local history, with 48 acres (190,000 m2) of surrounding parkland in Wolverhampton, England. It is named after Alderman Baldwin and Kitty Bantock who once lived there. It is run by Wolverhampton City Council's Arts and Museums service. History The house was built in the 1730s as New Merridale Farm. It was extended and improved during occupancy by Thomas Herrick about the beginning of the 19th century and renamed Merridale House. The house had several tenants but in about 1864 was bought by Thomas Bantock, a canal and railway agent. His son Albert Baldwin Bantock, who was twice Mayor of Wolverhampton and also High Sheriff of Staffordshire in 1920, further improved the property following his father's death in 1896. On his own death, without children, in 1938 he bequeathed the house and park to Wolverhampton Corporation. The house was renamed in his honour in 1940. It is a Grade II listed building. Bantock House Bantock House contains displays exploring the lives of the Bantock family and other locally important people. On the ground floor, there are displays about the Bantock family and the way they lived. Upstairs, the focus shifts to the men and women who shaped Wolverhampton and the industries they created with displays featuring locally made enamels, steel jewellery and japanned ware. The museum is unusual in that it avoids for the most part the use of traditional "glass case" displays, and instead presents a "more informal and imaginative setting"; visitors are, for example, encouraged to sit on any furniture they can find. Bantock House Gardens The gardens that surround the house were designed by Albert Baldwin Bantock and in 1998 were restored to his original designs by Wolverhampton City Council, allowing visitors today to see the different spaces Baldwin created. At the back of the house there is a sunken garden called the Dutch Garden. There is also a rose garden, with an array of roses with names such as Blythe Spirit, Chapeau de Napoleon and Glamis Castle, colourful flower borders in the house garden and a woodland garden which now forms part of a nature trail around the park. Bantock Park Bantock Park has 48 acres (190,000 m2) of land and includes a play area for children, a small, 18 hole golf course, a putting green, and football fields. Highland cattle were bred by the Bantock family and are believed to have roamed the grounds of the park up until around the 1930s. To recreate the presence of the cows, local craftsman Neil Watt was commissioned to create a cow sculpture, which can now be seen at the front of the house.

O edifício teve vários arrendatários mas, cerca de 1864, foi comprado por Thomas Bantock, um agente de canais e caminhos de ferro. O seu filho, Albert Baldwin Bantock, que foi duas vezes Mayor de Wolverhampton e, também, Alto Xerife de Staffordshire em 1920, melhorou a propriedade depois da morte do pai, ocorrida em 1896. Aquando da sua própria morte, sem filhos, em 1938, legou o palácio e o parque à Wolverhampton Corporation. Em 1940, o edifício recebeu o nome actual em sua honra. O museu - Bantock House, jardins e parque Bantock House contém exposições que exploram as vidas da família Bantock e de outras pessoas localmente importantes. No piso térreo existem elementos sobre a família Bantock e a forma como os seus elementos viviam. No piso superior, o foco vira-se para os homens e mulheres que deram forma a Wolverhampton e às indústrias que eles criaram, com exibições que apresentam esmaltes, joalharia em aço e envernizados de fabrico local. Os jardins que rodeiam o edifício foram desenhados por Albert Baldwin Bantock e, em 1998, foram restaurados para o seu desenho original pelo Conselho da Cidade de Wolverhampton; actualmente, os visitantes podem ver os diferets espaços que Baldwin criou. Nas traseiras da casa existe um jardim escavado chamado de Jardim Holandês. Também existe um Jardim de Rosas, com várias rosas com nomes evocativos como Blythe Spirit, Chapeau de Napoleon e Glamis Castle. Canteiros coloridos de flores no Jardim da Casa e um Jardim Bosque fazem agora parte da trilha natural em volta do parque. O Bantock Park tem 190.000 m² (48 acres) de terra e inclui uma área de jogos para crianças, um pequeno percurso de golfe com 18 buracos, um relvado e campos de futebol. Gado da raça Highland foi criado pela família Bantock e acredita-se que os animais vagueavam pelos terrenos do parque até cerca da década de 1930. Para recriar a presença de vacas, o artesão local Neil Watson foi contratado para criar uma escultura de vaca, a qual pode ser vista atualmente em frente da casa.

York Barbican

York Barbican is an indoor entertainment venue located in York, England. Named after the nearby barbican attached to Walmgate Bar, the venue hosts a busy calendar of live music, comedy and sports, as well as business events and conferences. It has a 1,500 seating capacity and a 1,900 standing capacity. York Barbican is the host venue for the second biggest-ranking snooker tournament, the UK Championship, and has done so from 2001 to 2006, and then from 2011 onwards. The centre is located on the southern end of York city centre, opposite the city walls. History The current facility was built in 1989 at a price of £15 million by York Council, adding to a swimming pool, which had been previously constructed on the site in 1980. The 1989 construction added a sports hall and auditorium, with a climbing wall facility, café and bars. Despite offering the largest concert facility and a wide range of classes and local events (such as the annual York Interschool Battle of the Bands), York Barbican consistently made losses while it was operated by the council, and in 2000, both the swimming pool and new facilities were placed on the market in a bid to pass them on to private management. By 2003, a single bidder had emerged as the preferred company to develop the site. Proposals to build new swimming facilities were part of the plans. However, a local group of residents, 'Save Our Barbican' (S.O.B.) spearheaded local opposition to the proposals circulated in the public consultation. Later planned developments suggested apartments on the site, or a casino and nightclub facility. By the end of 2004, with no plans accepted and a legal case going forward by the resident group, York Barbican was officially closed and lay empty for years to come - only the UK Championship snooker tournament continued to use the venue in both 2005 and 2006. The swimming pool building was demolished, and the 1989 building began to show signs of weathering and vandalism and closed down. In spring 2011, it finally reopened after a £1.5 million refurbishment, owned by the council but managed by ASM Global, an international venue operator. As of 2025, York Barbican has been operated by Legends Global Services Ltd. On 19 June 2021, a local group of squatters moved into the demolished swimming pool and reclaimed it as "Barbican Community Centre". They claim they are stopping the land - which has been empty for 15 years - from being developed into expensive student accommodation. Notable events The Liberal Democrats regularly hold the Liberal Democrat Conference at the venue. The venue is the current host of the UK Snooker Championship. In 2019, the venue hosted the Conservative Party Hustings, between Jeremy Hunt and Boris Johnson.

York Barbican

York Barbican – centrum rozrywki w York w Anglii położone na południowym krańcu centrum Yorku. Nazwa wywodzi się od pobliskiego barbakanu. Odbywa się w nim wiele koncertów, występów komediowych i wydarzeń sportowych, a także wydarzenia biznesowe i konferencje. Obiekt dysponuje 1500 miejscami siedzącymi i 1900 stojącymi. York Barbican jest miejscem organizacji drugiego co do wielkości turnieju snookera, UK Championship, który odbywał się tu w latach 2001–2006 oraz od 2011. Historia Obecny obiekt został zbudowany w 1989 roku za cenę 15 mln funtów. Został dobudowany do basenu miejskiego istniejącego od 1980. W 1989 roku dobudowano halę sportową i audytorium ze ścianką wspinaczkową, kawiarnią i barami. Pomimo oferowania największej sali koncertowej oraz szerokiej gamy zajęć i wydarzeń lokalnych (takich jak coroczny York Interschool Battle of the Bands), York Barbican stale przynosił straty, gdy był zarządzany przez miasto. W 2000 zarówno basen, jak i nowe obiekty zostały wystawione na sprzedaż z zamiarem przekazania ich pod prywatny zarząd. W 2003 roku wyłonił się jeden podmiot oferujący zagospodarowanie tego terenu. Częścią planów była propozycja budowy nowych obiektów pływackich. Jednakże grupa mieszkańców, „Save Our Barbican” (SOB), stanęła na czele lokalnego sprzeciwu wobec propozycji rozesłanych w ramach konsultacji publicznych. Późniejsze plany rozwoju zakładały budowę na tym terenie apartamentów, kasyna i klubu nocnego. Pod koniec 2004 roku, w związku z brakiem akceptacji planów i wszczęciem przez grupę mieszkańców postępowania prawnego, York Barbican zamknięto i przez kolejne lata stał pusty. Budynek basenu został zburzony, a budynek z 1989 zaczął nosić ślady zużycia i wandalizmu i został zamknięty. Wiosną 2011 roku w końcu otwarto go ponownie po renowacji przeprowadzonej kosztem 1,5mln funtów. Obiekt pozostaje właśnością miasta ale zarządzany przez międzynarodowego operatora ASM Global. 19 czerwca 2021 lokalna grupa squattersów wprowadziła się do zburzonego basenu i odzyskała go, nazywając go „Barbican Community Centre".Twierdzą, że starają się powstrzymać przekształcenie terenu, który od 15 lat stoi pusty, w drogie akademiki. Ważne wydarzenia Liberalni Demokraci regularnie organizują w tym miejscu Konferencję Liberalnych Demokratów. Odbywają się tu turnieje snookera UK Championship zaliczane do Potrójnej Korony, transmitowane przez BBC. Przypisy Linki zewnętrzne ASM Global. ASM Global. [dostęp 2024-11-25]. (ang.).
