Adderstone Hall

Adderstone Hall[1] é um palácio rural inglês em estilo georgiano, situado nas margens do Rio Warn, próximo de Lucker, no Northumberland. É um listed building classificado com o Grau II*. Permanece como propriedade privada e os seus actuais proprietários operam um parque de férias a partir do seu edifício. Adderstone foi detido pela família Forster, Governadores do Bamburgh Castle, desde o século XII. Em 1415 existia uma torre no local onde se ergue o actual palácio, da qual não restam quaisquer vestígios. Thomas Forster (1659-1725), Alto Sheriff do Northumberland, construíu um novo solar no início do século XVIII. Os Forsters viveram na propriedade por mais de 600 anos, até que se arruinaram devido aos excessos financeiros de Sir William Forster (falecido em 1700) e ao envolvimento de um outro Thomas Forster (1683-1738) na Revolta Jacobita de 1715. A propriedade foi adquirida por John W. Bacon em 1763. O actual palácio foi construído para ele, em 1819, segundo um desenho do arquitecto escocês William Burn.

Addington Park

Addington Park is a park situated in Addington in the London Borough of Croydon. The park covers an area of 24.5 acres (9.9 ha). History The park was originally part of the manor of Addington and the area was used by Henry VIII for hunting purposes. The original manor house was replaced in 1768 by Addington Palace and the grounds were laid out by Capability Brown in 1781. Most of the 24.50 acres which make up the public park were purchased from the owners of the 500 acres (200 ha) Addington Palace Estate by Croydon Council in 1930. Tennis courts were purchased after World War II. Transportation The park is located next to Addington Interchange which is a tram and bus interchange. It is also served by Gravel Hill tram stop Facilities Source Historic landscaping Car parking Cricket and football pitches Tennis courts Children's playground See also List of Parks and Open Spaces in Croydon Addington Hills Ashburton Park Woodside Green References External links London Borough of Croydon website / Addington Park London Borough of Croydon; Addington Park history
Addington Square

Addington Square is a Georgian and Regency garden square in Camberwell in the London Borough of Southwark which is named after the early 19th century prime minister Henry Addington. History Addington Square is an unusually well-preserved conservation area with the houses that make up the east, south and west sides of the square listed Grade II. On the north side is the Southwark City Tennis Club / Burgess Park Tennis Centre. Because three sides of the square back onto Burgess Park and there is no through traffic, it is a peaceful space popular with lunchtime office workers. This controlled access, period buildings and proximity to central London also make it popular with film crews. In the 1960s, the square was the base of the Richardson Gang, a south London rival to the Kray twins. They ran a private drinking club from the square, which had "Mad" Frankie Fraser and two dancing bears in residence. According to the gang's Old Bailey trial in 1967, the club was used to kangaroo court and torture rivals. The bears escaped onto Camberwell Road one night. More than a century earlier, one of the founders of the National Trust, Robert Hunter had been born in the square in 1844, and it was also the home of Liberal politician Charles Masterman. Construction of the square in the early 19th century came with the Grand Surrey Canal which terminated at Camberwell Wharf lying on the north side of the square. The first house in the square (now number 48) was completed by 1810 and owned by Nathaniel Simmons who was the engineer to the Grand Surrey Canal Company. Most of the rest of the square was built by 1827, and the square was complete by 1844. The 1851 census shows 32 houses with 179 residents and 33 servants, an occupancy rate of 6.2 persons per house. Nikolaus Pevsner points out in his The Buildings of England that as the construction was completed over a period of time (unlike most North London squares) "uniformity was abandoned" leading to "the pleasant irregular early c19 houses and terraces around Addington Square." It was completed as a private square in 1855. By 1897 the square had become derelict, but was renovated and opened for public use; the Metropolitan Public Gardens Association donated six seats in 1898. There were also public baths and a swimming pool on the north side until the turn of the 19th/20th centuries, and a scandal involving a parson in bathhouse activities is commemorated in a rare satirical poem found in the library of Cornell University. In the late 1930s the King George's Fields Foundation gave a grant of £1,000 towards the cost of £5,363 of acquiring the former swimming pool and turning it into a public garden. In 2008 it was used as the location for the electronic duo Goldfrapp's music video for their single "Happiness", which features on their fourth studio album, Seventh Tree. The video focused on a young man in a white suit joyfully jumping down the streets in Addington Square, and featured the duo in a variety of cameos. References

Addison's Walk

Addison's Walk (originally called Water Walk) is a picturesque footpath around a small island in the River Cherwell in the grounds of Magdalen College, Oxford, England. Magdalen Tower and Magdalen Bridge can be seen along the walk. The walk is named after Joseph Addison (1672–1719), a Fellow of the college from 1698 to 1711, who enjoyed walking there and wrote articles in The Spectator about landscape gardening. The path most likely dates from the 16th century, although the name "Addison's Walk" has only been in use since the 19th century. Addison's Walk originally finished at Dover Pier, an old Civil War gun position on the River Cherwell. It was made into a circular walk in the 19th century. The walk is referenced frequently in Justin Cartwright's 2007 novel The Song Before it is Sung. Addison's Walk was a favourite walk of the author C. S. Lewis (1898–1963), who for much of his life was another Fellow of Magdalen College. He regularly frequented Addison's Walk with friends who included Hugo Dyson and J. R. R. Tolkien. He wrote a poem about the walk which features it by name. See also Dead Man's Walk, Oxford Mesopotamia Walk, Oxford References
Addison's Walk

Addison's Walk (ursprungligen kallad Water Walk) är en pittoresk vandringsled runt en liten ö i floden Cherwell på Magdalen Colleges område i Oxford, England. Det finns fin utsikt över Magdalen Tower och Magdalen Bridge längs promenaden. Vandringsleden är uppkallad efter Joseph Addison (1672–1719), en Fellow vid colleget från 1698 till 1711, som tyckte om att promenera där och skrev artiklar i The Spectator om landskapsträdgårdar. Stigen härstammar troligen från 1500-talet, även om namnet "Addison's Walk" bara har använts sedan 1800-talet. Addison's Walk slutade ursprungligen vid Dover Pier, en gammal kanonställning från engelska inbördeskriget vid floden Cherwell. Den gjordes om till en cirkulär promenad på 1800-talet. Promenaden nämns ofta i Justin Cartwrights roman från 2007, The Song Before it is Sung. Addison's Walk var en favoritvandring för författaren C.S. Lewis (1898–1963), som under större delen av sitt liv var en annan Fellow vid Magdalen College. Han besökte regelbundet Addison's Walk med vänner, däribland Hugo Dyson och J.R.R. Tolkien. Han skrev en dikt om promenaden som nämner den vid namn.

Adelaide House

Adelaide House is a Grade II listed office building in London's primary financial district, the City of London. Location Adelaide House is located on the north bank of the Thames, adjacent to London Bridge and St Magnus the Martyr church. It is on King William Street, and also borders the Thames Path and Thames Street. History In the early 1830s, the old London Bridge Waterworks on the site was demolished and replaced with the Adelaide Hotel. The building was named in honour of King William IV's wife Adelaide, who, in 1831, had performed the opening ceremony of London Bridge. In the 1850s, the hotel was converted into offices and renamed the Adelaide Buildings. In the early 1920s, the site was acquired by Richard Tilden Smith, who had the old Adelaide Buildings demolished to make way for a new office building. It was designed in the Art Deco style by Sir John Burnet and Thomas S. Tait, with some Egyptian influences, popular at the time after the recent discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb. The building features a sculpture by William Reid Dick above the main entrance, depicting a 3.2 metre high figure in draped materials carrying an orb with an astrological band. When completed in 1925, it was the city's tallest office block, at 43 m (141 ft). Adelaide House was the first building in the city to employ the steel frame technique that was later widely adopted for skyscrapers around the world, and also the first office block in the United Kingdom to have central ventilation and telephone and electric connections on every floor. In addition, on opening the building featured a roof garden including an 18-hole putting course, rockeries, fruit trees and beehives. The building has been Grade II listed since 1972. It was occupied by law firm Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP from 1970 to 2020. In 2021, planning permission was granted to refurbish the building. Work on the refurbishment started in late 2023, with aims to renovate the building to category A office standard, including reopening the roof terrace area. Work was expected to be completed in early 2025. References I Never Knew That About London, Christopher Winn, 2007 Further reading Ansell, Caroline J. (2016) Adelaide House London Bridge.

Adeyfield Academy

The Adeyfield Academy (formerly Adeyfield School) is an 11–18 mixed, secondary school and sixth form with academy status in Adeyfield, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, England. It is part of the Atlas Multi Academy Trust. The school was founded in 1953, initially as a secondary modern school and is now an all ability- comprehensive school. The school works in consortium with two neighbouring schools to enhance post-16 provision. The consortium consists of Adeyfield School, Astley Cooper School and Longdean School. Staff development and wellbeing is also coordinated at consortium level. The school has many awards, including an International Schools status. As a result of this, a club called "The YEC", standing for "Young Earth Citizen" was formed to link Adeyfield with other schools around the world. One project that they work on is to write articles for an online magazine. Leadership Margaret Chapman – executive head teacher (Ambition Education Trust) Dawn Mason – Headteacher Imogen Walbank – Deputy Headteacher Aza Hoque – Assistant Headteacher Charlotte Rose – Assistant Headteacher Liz Polson – Assistant Headteacher Michael Molokuw - Assistant Headteacher Jo Day – associate assistant principal Michelle Forni - Associate Assistant Headteacher Sam Rogers - Business Manager Ofsted The Adeyfield Academy's last Ofsted inspection was January 2023. The Adeyfield Academy was rated GOOD by Ofsted. Key comments: Students at Adeyfield enjoy being part of a close-knit school community. Expectations for behaviour, courtesy and personal presentation are high. These are both modelled and applied consistently by staff. In lessons, pupils benefit from consistent routines and knowledgeable teaching. Trust and school leaders are ambitious and have raised expectations for what pupils can achieve. Pupils’ character and resilience are developed very well. Working relationships in classrooms are strong, characterised by mutual respect between teachers and pupils Uniform Adeyfield was one of the last secondary schools to have school jumpers. This changed in late 2007 to school ties (of the school colours, jade green and silver), white shirts, and black blazers. Housing system The school has six houses: Attenborough (Green) Hawking (Blue) Kahlo (Orange) Parks (Red) Seacole (Yellow) Turing (Purple) References External links Official website http://thegloalyec.org.uk
Admiral Duncan

Admiral Duncan is een homobar aan Old Compton Street 54 in het centrum van Londen. Op 30 april 1999 vond een bomaanslag in de zaak plaats. De pub bestond al in 1832 en is vernoemd naar admiraal Adam Duncan, die in 1797 de Nederlandse vloot versloeg in de zeeslag bij Camperduin. Wanneer het een gaybar werd is niet duidelijk. Wel geldt Admiral Duncan als een van de oudste homozaken van de wijk Soho, een Londense homobuurt. Bomaanslag Op 30 april 1999 ontplofte een spijkerbom in de bar, die vanwege een feestdag extra druk bezocht was. Hierdoor kwamen uiteindelijk drie mensen om het leven en werden 81 personen gewond, waarvan 13 ernstig. De plaatselijke homogemeenschap reageerde geschokt en met boosheid. De dader bleek de 23-jarige neo-nazi David Copeland, die met de aanslag etnische spanningen en homofobie wilde aanwakkeren en die ook verantwoordelijk was voor twee eerdere bomaanslagen elders in Londen. Hij werd tot zes keer levenslang veroordeeld. Externe links Homepage van de Admiral Duncan Herdenking van de bomaanslag

Aesica

Aesica (Engels: Great Chesters) was een Romeins fort aan de Muur van Hadrianus. Het lag tussen de forten van Magnis (Carvoran) in het westen en Housesteads in het oosten, dicht bij het hedendaagse Haltwhistle in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Het fort had een rechthoekig grondplan met afgerond hoeken en aan elke zijde een poort. In de tweede eeuw was hier de Cohors VI Nerviorum gelegerd en mogelijk ook een Cohors Raetorum. In de derde eeuw huisvestte het fort de Cohors II Asturum en Raetische speerdragers (Raeti Gaesati). Rond 400, kort voor de ontruiming van de muur, was de Cohors I Asturum er gelegerd. Galerij
Agden Reservoir

Agden Reservoir is a water storage reservoir, situated at grid reference SK260925, 6+1⁄2 miles (10 kilometres) west of the centre of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. It is owned by Yorkshire Water / Kelda Group. The reservoir covers an area of 25 hectares (62 acres) and has a capacity of 559 million imperial gallons (2.54 gigalitres) of water; the dam wall has a width of approximately 380 feet (120 m) with a height of 100 feet (30 m). "Agden" means "Valley of the Oak Trees". The reservoir is one of four built in the second half of the 19th century to satisfy the developing steel industry of Sheffield, collecting water from the moorlands around the village of Low Bradfield, west of Sheffield. The other three being Damflask, Dale Dike and Strines reservoirs. Agden was completed in 1869 and is fed by Hobson Moss Dike and Emlin Dike which flow off the Broomhead and Bradfield moors respectively. The reservoir is surrounded mainly by coniferous woodland, however, Sheffield City Council who own much of the woodland have started a policy of replanting and thinning to encourage broadleaved varieties of trees which give a better habitat for wildlife and also look more attractive. The reservoir is ringed by a popular walk which starts in the village of Low Bradfield and takes in Agden Bog which is a protected wetland area managed by the Wildlife Trust for Sheffield and Rotherham. The Peak District Boundary Walk runs past the eastern end of the dam. The former Keeper's cottage is at the western side of the dam wall, now a private home, and Agden Lodge built in 1870 for Samuel Fox of Stocksbridge, remains as a private residence. There are also remnants of old farm dwellings around the reservoir - the Water Authorities allegedly had a policy of buying any available property around their reservoirs, solely for demolition, claiming they were a source of possible water contamination. Many fine old buildings were lost to this rationale, including Frost House early-1950s, Rocher Head Farm early-1960s and the 17thC Agden House on the western side, demolished 1972, although it's barn survives. Details of a walk around the reservoir and remaining buildings can be found here: References External links Media related to Agden Reservoir at Wikimedia Commons
