Lumps Fort

Lumps Fort is a disused fortification built on Portsea Island as part of the defences for the naval base at Portsmouth. Early history Lumps Fort dates from the 18th century. The earliest reference is in the records of the Board of Ordnance in 1805 which mention "Lumps Fort-three 32-pounder guns". By 1822 the fort was the site of a semaphore station on the semaphore line from London to Portsmouth. It was constructed here to avoid the smog of the town of Portsmouth which would impede direct optical communications from Portsdown Hill. The fort was out of use as a defensive fort by the 1820s and in 1827 part of the fort fell into the sea. The semaphore station was closed in 1847 when the electrical telegraph took over. Palmerston-era reconstruction The fort was reconstructed between 1859 and 1869 as one of the Palmerston forts in the line of Portsmouth Harbour defences. It was designed to be fitted with 17 guns and had a barrack block at the rear to accommodate 100 men. It was not normally manned, with only a Master Gunner normally in residence at the Fort - in 1885 the Master Gunner was H Orchard. It was also used by units of the Volunteer Artillery - the City of London Artillery Volunteers undertook gun practice from there in 1889. It was re-armed in the 1890s with three 6-inch rifled breech-loader Mk. IV guns on hydropneumatic carriages. These guns were taken away in 1906, but the fort was rearmed in 1914. It was then a beach defence battery and was armed with a 6-pounder Hotchkiss anti-aircraft gun. At the end of the World War I, it was demolished, leaving only an outline. Post-military use The fort was bought by Portsmouth City Council in 1932. World War II interrupted plans to develop the site. In 1942, the Combined Operations Development Centre's Experimental Party, and soon after, the Royal Marine Boom Patrol Detachment, a specialist unit which also developed and trained in Sleeping Beauties and Boom Patrol Boats, began operations from the fort [latterly moving to Teignmouth, S.Devon]. The detachment was based in two Nissen huts outside the fort adjacent to the car park as well as within the fort itself, and initially trained in the Solent making almost daily canoe boom patrol paddles to the Isle of Wight. It went on to conduct Operation Frankton, on axis shipping at Bordeaux harbour. After the war, it was planted as a rose garden, with the western part of the site becoming the Southsea Model Village Adjacent to the site is the Canoe Lake, constructed from a large area of marshland, which was opened on 17 June 1886 and used as a boating lake. During World War II, the lake was used for experiments into countermeasures against magnetic mines See also Fortifications of Portsmouth References Publications Moore, David, 2013.

Maney

Maney is an area of Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, England. It is situated close to the town centre of Sutton Coldfield and is also near Wylde Green and Walmley. The main thoroughfare is Birmingham Road, which runs through Maney. Facilities Sutton Coldfield's only remaining cinema is located in Maney. It was operated by Odeon Cinemas from 1936 until 2006, when it was acquired by Empire Cinemas. It was officially opened on April 18, 1936, by Councillor W. A. Perry, the Mayor of Sutton Coldfield. Upon its opening, it had a seating capacity of 1,636 and was designed by Harry Weedon. It was put in direct competition of the 'Empress Cinema' on the Parade in Sutton Coldfield town centre which had reopened after reconstruction work in February of that year. The 'Empress Cinema' shut down in the 1970s and the site is now the location of Sutton Coldfield Library. Beeches Walk, Birmingham Road, offers a range of shops and restaurants. This parade stands on the site of a large Victorian house 'The Beeches'. In 1929, over 6 acres (24,000 m2) of paddock at the rear of the house was acquired by Compulsory Purchase Order for the building of Sutton Coldfield Grammar School for Girls. In 1932, the old house was demolished and despite some local opposition retail development was permitted. St Peter's Church is located on Maney Hill Road. The foundation stone was laid on June 22, 1904, by Rt. Hon. William Henry Lord Leigh and was completed in 1905. It is the parish church for the parish of St Peter. Nearby are the local football team, Sutton Coldfield Town F.C., Maney Hill Primary School, Plantsbrook School, and the Sutton Coldfield campus of Birmingham Metropolitan College. History 14th century references to this ancient hamlet appear in the National Archives. A windmill was present in the area during the time of Bishop Vesey as a result of the high elevation of Maney Hill in comparison to the other lower lying areas of Sutton. The area contains several buildings of some antiquity having Grade II listed status. These include: The Smithy, 78 Birmingham Road; originally a stone built cottage based on a 15th-century cruck frame construction, now used as an art gallery. The Stone House, St Peters Close, which is thought to be one of the very few remaining stone cottages built by John Vesey, Bishop of Exeter in about 1530. "Vesey Manor" at 62/64 Birmingham Road, built as two stone cottages in the 16th century, later converted to a farmhouse, and in the late 19th century enlarged and provided with its current frontage. In World War II, a bomb exploded in the middle of Maney Hill Road. The Beatles played a concert on the 1 February 1963 in St Peter's Church Hall. In the 1921, Maney Corner in Maney became the first place in the world where a centre white line was painted in a road. This was as a result of reckless driving and numerous collisions on the road.

Gilwell Park

Gilwell Park è sia una base scout per unità di qualsiasi branca, sia un centro di formazione per capi. Il sito, vasto 44 ettari e capace di ospitare fino a 10.000 persone (anche per eventi non scout), si trova a Sewardstonebury nella Epping Forest, tra Sewardstone e Chingford, nell'area della Greater London un tempo parte della contea di Essex. Per ragioni di capienza il jamboree del centenario dello scautismo (agosto 2007) si è svolto nel vicino Hylands Park, a Chelmsford (Essex). Le origini All'inizio del 1919 la proprietà fu acquistata per 7.000 sterline dallo Scout Commissioner scozzese William F. de Bois Maclaren e fu subito donata alla Boy Scout association (dal 1967 The Scout Association of the United Kingdom). I lavori, condotti da capi e rover e finanziati da Maclaren con altre 3.000 sterline, iniziarono il 17 aprile 1919 e la base fu aperta il 26 giugno 1919. Ai 21 ettari iniziali se ne aggiunsero altrettanti dopo la seconda guerra mondiale. Questo nome del terreno, Gilwell, con due "elle" finali, l’abbiamo però solo dal 1929, quando Baden-Powell ricevette il titolo nobiliare e scelse di legarlo a quel luogo: furono le ricerche più approfondite in tale occasione che lo riportarono alla luce. Fino ad allora, 1919, la proprietà era infatti conosciuta come Gilwel, con una sola "elle", denominazione che da quel momento venne definitivamente abbandonata. Scopi e finalità L'intenzione originaria di Maclaren era fornire siti da campo agli scout di Londra, specie quelli della popolare zona orientale. A questo scopo Robert Baden-Powell aggiunse subito quello di sito di addestramento e formazione per capi scout. Per Baden-Powell la formazione capi era così importante che, quando nel 1929 fu fatto Lord da re Giorgio V, scelse Gilwell come suo titolo territoriale (Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell) legandolo ancora di più alla figura del fondatore. Il primo campo scuola per capi ebbe luogo dall'8 al 19 settembre 1919. Da allora, capi scout di tutto il mondo sono venuti a Gilwell Park per conquistare il Wood Badge, facendo di Gilwell uno dei luoghi principali del movimento scout mondiale. I capi che hanno completato il corso (ormai oltre 100.000) diventano automaticamente membri del gruppo scout Gilwell 1, l'unico al mondo composto interamente da capi, che si riunisce ogni anno nel primo fine settimana di settembre.

Margravine Cemetery

Margravine Cemetery, also known as Hammersmith Cemetery, is in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. The closest London Underground station is Barons Court. History Designed for the Hammersmith Burial Board by local architect George Saunders, Margravine Cemetery was opened in 1868 on a site previously occupied by market gardens and orchards, known as Fulham Fields. The first burial took place on 3 November 1869. Margravine closed for new burials in 1951, when the 16.5 acres of cemetery land were restored by the council and designated a 'Garden of Rest'. Notable burials and monuments The cemetery contains a number of distinctive monuments, three of which are listed buildings. Most striking is the green bronze memorial to George Broad, who owned the foundry which made the Eros statue at Piccadilly Circus. Nearest Charing Cross Hospital, the Young family mausoleum is a single-storey building in Gothic architecture style. The third listed grave is that of an Australian gold prospector, with a bas relief of him, opposite the Young family mausoleum. A screen wall memorial erected by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (who list it as Hammersmith Old Cemetery) in Section 31 lists all 191 Commonwealth service personnel buried in registered war graves in the cemetery – 186 from World War I and 5 from World War II. Two J. Lyons and Co. war memorials were relocated from their factory at Greenford to the cemetery in 2002. The World War I memorial is Grade II listed. There is a memorial to the 13 people killed – 11 of them women – in a 1918 explosion at Blake's munitions factory, Wood Lane. It was unveiled in 1920 and Grade II listed in 2017.

Margravine Cemetery

Margravine Cemetery – cmentarz o powierzchni 16,5 akrów w Londynie, zlokalizowany w dzielnicy Hammersmith and Fulham, przy Margravine Gardens, St. Dunstan's Road i Claxton Grove. Historia Nekropolia została otwarta 25 listopada 1869 i zaplanowana na 12.000 grobów. Została podzielona na dwie nierówne części, przy czym większą z nich poświęcono anglikanom. Zaprojektował ją, wraz z dwiema neogotyckimi kaplicami, architekt George Saunders. Do dziś zachowała się tylko jedna kaplica pogrzebowa (druga została zburzona przez bombardowanie w 1940 lub rozebrana w 1953). Pierwszy pochówek odbył się tutaj 3 listopada 1869. Podczas II wojny światowej cmentarz był trzykrotnie bombardowany: we wrześniu i listopadzie 1940. W 1951 ówczesna Rada Hammersmith, zaniepokojona złym stanem nekropolii, zdecydowała się usunąć jak najwięcej nagrobków, a miejsca po nich obsiać trawą. Mimo że spotkało się to z protestami, akcja zakończyła się w 1965 i obecnie na cmentarzu znajduje się wiele wolnych przestrzeni. Pamiątki Do najważniejszych zachowanych pamiątek należy m.in. jedyne na cmentarzu mauzoleum rodziny Young. Cmentarz jest częścią obszaru chronionego Barons Court, ustanowionego w kwietniu 1989. Cmentarzem opiekuje się towarzystwo jego przyjaciół - Friends of Margravine Cemetery. Przyroda Wśród drzew cmentarza gniazdują ptaki różnych gatunków, pojawiają się też gatunki migrujące. W pobliżu gniazduje para sokołów wędrownych. Teren stanowi też atrakcyjne siedlisko dla bezkręgowców, grzybów, lisów i wiewiórek. Zidentyfikowano tu bogatą florę porostów, w tym m.in. Psilolechia lucida, misecznica murowa, Lecanora campestris, misecznica jaśniejsza, amylka oliwkowa, złotorost ścienny, Xanthoria calcicola oraz tarczownica bruzdkowana. Otoczenie W bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie cmentarza znajdują się: szpital Charing Cross i stacja metra Barons Court. Galeria Przypisy
