Town Park, Runcorn

Town Park is a large urban park in Runcorn, Cheshire, England. Town Park was created as an integral part of the original Runcorn New Town development with the aim of forming a central landscape feature for local residents. The creation of Town Park preserved nearly 157 hectares of existing woodlands and undulating grassland. The park was planned to link the New Town centre with local centres via green corridors and included large areas of open grassland and woodland as well as buildings for recreational and cultural activities. Halton Miniature Railway (opened in 1979), Runcorn Ski Slope and Norton Priory Museum and Gardens sit within the park boundaries. In July 2010, a new play area was created at Stockham Lane adjacent to the miniature railway. From July 2017, the park was staffed with two full time park workers for the first time since the early 1990s, funded by the Viridor Runcorn Energy from Waste plant. In 2018, the Council adopted a Masterplan for Town Park which would see footpaths widened and three themed hubs created across the park. References

Streatham Cemetery is a cemetery on Garratt Lane in Tooting, London; it is one of three cemeteries managed by Lambeth London Borough Council, the others being West Norwood Cemetery and Lambeth Cemetery. Both Streatham and Lambeth Cemeteries are located within the London Borough of Wandsworth. History Under the Metropolitan Burial Act 1852 (15 & 16 Vict. c. 85), which followed the second cholera epidemic of 1848–49, the Streatham Burial Board acquired the land for a cemetery in what was countryside at the time. The cemetery opened for burials in 1894 and was provided with two lodges and two mirror-image chapels built in the Gothic style by William Newton Dunn. The cemetery was subjected to extensive "lawn conversion" from 1969 to 1991 and many monuments were removed. There are new graves available and burials are possible in chambers. The cemetery has a large number of burials of casualties from World War I (218) and World War II (167) which are maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

Finsbury Town Hall

Finsbury Town Hall is a municipal building in Finsbury, London. The structure is a Grade II* listed building. History The building was commissioned by the Clerkenwell Vestry to replace an early 19th century vestry hall at the corner of Garnault Place and Rosoman Street which had been described as "the smallest and worst vestry hall in London". The site chosen for the new building was just to the north of the old vestry hall. The foundation stone for the new building was laid on 14 July 1894. It was designed by William Charles Evans-Vaughan in the Flemish Renaissance Revival style and built by Charles Dearing of Islington; it was officially opened by the Prime Minister, Lord Rosebery, as Clerkenwell Town Hall on 14 June 1895. The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage with nine bays facing onto Rosebery Avenue; the central section featured a projecting cast iron porch flanked by composite order columns on the ground floor; there was an arched opening containing a Venetian window on the first floor and a four small windows on the second floor with a projecting clock above. The clock was by Thwaites & Reed. Internally, the principal rooms were the great hall, which was elaborately decorated in a Belle Époque style, and the council chamber which had a vaulted plaster ceiling supported by Ionic order columns. The great hall was illuminated by sculptures of female figures, known as the "Clerkenwell Angels", which were designed by Jackson & Co. and which supported brass light fittings, made by Vaughan & Brown. The original vestry hall was demolished in the late 1890s, allowing the new building to be extended to cover the whole area enclosed between Rosebery Avenue, Garnault Place and Rosoman Street. The new building became the headquarters of the enlarged Metropolitan Borough of Finsbury in 1900. During the Second World War an air raid shelter and control centre was built under Garnault Place with access from the town hall; this facility was then maintained as a nuclear fall-out shelter during the Cold War. The town hall continued to serve as the headquarters of the Metropolitan Borough of Finsbury for much of the 20th century but ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged London Borough of Islington was formed in 1965. It subsequently served as a register office and also as a social services centre. In 1993 a plaque was erected outside the town hall to commemorate the life of Sir Dadabhai Naoroji, the first Asian to become a British Member of Parliament. Islington Council closed the building, because of the rising cost of maintenance, in June 2003. Then, after a programme of restoration works to the designs of RHWL, the town hall re-opened as the home of the performing arts college, Urdang Academy, with the principal rooms used for dancing classes, in January 2007. It remains an approved venue for marriage and civil partnership ceremonies. Gallery References

Eden Court, Leamington Spa

Eden Court is a high-rise residential building belonging to Warwick District Council located in Lillington, Leamington Spa, England. Construction on the 41 m (135 ft), 14 storey, block of flats began in 1959 and was completed the following year. The tower was constructed by the former Royal Leamington Spa Borough Council at the same time as a wider development known as The Crest. The area also comprises the eight storey Ashton Court and the seven storey Southorn Court and low rise housing. A public house named the Jack and Jill was opened in 1966 to serve the area, along with a convenience store. The pub was closed in 1996 but the shop remains. The 67 bus route operated by Stagecoach links the area to Cubbington and Leamington town centre. In March 2015 a proposal to demolish the block and many of the surrounding ones was considered by the council executive. The idea was to build new low rise buildings in their place. However the proposal was abandoned after a facilitating development on adjoining Green Belt land at Red House Farm was rejected by the Government Inspector and deleted from the Warwick District Local Plan in 2017.

Islamia Primary School

Islamia Primary School is a voluntary aided primary, Islamic faith school in Queen's Park, London, England. It is located in the London Borough of Brent. History Islamia Primary School was founded in October 1983 by Yusuf Islam, the singer/songwriter who was known as Cat Stevens until his conversion to Islam in 1978. In 1998, the school was the first Muslim school in Britain to be granted public funding by the Government. This funding was secured after a campaign of thirteen years and several rejections of their applications for voluntary state aid. Prince Charles visited to officially inaugurate the school's voluntary aided status on 10 May 2000. He praised their approach of providing both secular and religious education. The school applied, in September 2010, for permission to construct an £8 million extension including a new two-storey building. It would be funded jointly by Brent Council, the school and the government. The scheme, designed by Marks Barfield, was granted planning permission in December 2010 but has proved controversial with residents groups threatening to take legal action to stop it. Brent Council announced, in November 2013, that the development had been included in Phase 3 of their Permanent Primary School Expansion project. Academic education The school is two form entry with approximately 420 pupils aged between the ages of 4 and 11. The school was intended to have 10% non-Muslim pupils. It has 210 official places and 3,500 pupils on the waiting list. Islamia follows the national curriculum supplemented with classes on religion and studies of the Arabic language. The Ofsted inspection on 2013 rated the school as "Good", point 2 on a four-point scale. Ofsted reported positively on the school community, and the way that the children were engaged in their learning. In 2022 the Ofsted inspection marked the school as "Inadequate." In 2013, the school won the Global Peace and Unity Education Award for Excellence, for UK primary schools. Linked schools The Islamia Branch consists of three schools; the primary school, Islamia Girls High School, and the boys' school, Brondesbury College. References External links Official website

Isle of Wight Zoo

Isle of Wight Zoo, tidligere kendt som Isle of Wight Tiger and Lemur Sanctuary, er en zoologisk have på øen Isle of Wight i Sydengland, der har til huse i et fort på Sandowns kystlinie. Den er hjemsted for den største bestand af tigre i Storbritannien. Historie Oprindeligt kendt som Sandown Zoo blev den zoologiske have grundlagt i 1950'erne. Frem til 1970'erne blev den dårligt vedligeholdt og blev kaldt 'The Slum Zoo of Britain' af Sunday Times. Men i 1976 blev den zoologiske have overtaget af en privat ejer, og over næste år blev den genopbygget, som et nu kendt fristed for store katte og primater. Haven er i øjeblikket hjemsted for 14 tigre, 3 afrikanske løver og 2 jaguarer. Den mest kendte af de store katte er Zena, havens eneste hvide tiger. I de seneste år er der åbnet 3 tigerindhegninger, med indisk tema. Der er glasruder, man kan se igennem, damme, naturlige planter og tematiske statuer og templer. Hanløverne lever også i en nyligt åbnet indhegning – med et afrikansk tema, med en jeep og stenformationer, designet til stimulere og træne dyrerne. Primater Haven har også et Madagaskar tema og primaternes afdeling reflekterer denne ved at have specialiseret sig i lemurer. Ring-tailed, black and white ruffed, black, white fronted og mongoose lemurerne har til huse her, hvoraf mange af dem har formeret sig i de seneste år. Primatafdelingen er også hjem for spider monkeys og capuchins. Jeepers Creepers Inde i en mørk bygning er en samling af slanger, firben og edderkopper, der befinder sig i forskellige tematiske bure, bygget til at efterligne dyrernes naturlige element. Miljøet er også hjemsted for den meget truede Madagscan jumping rat. Film Haven har også været hoved for ITV Meridian's tv program 'Tiger Island'. Denne viser forskellige aspekter af livet i en zoologisk have, hvordan man laver berigende legetøj og designer nye indhegninger.

Isleworth Ait

Isleworth Ait ist eine tränenförmige Insel oder Werder (engl. Ait) im von den Gezeiten beeinflussten Teil der Themse im London Borough of Hounslow. Die Insel ist 3,5 Hektar groß. Isleworth Ait ist stark bewaldet und bietet zahlreichen Tieren eine Heimat. Die Insel wird regelmäßig überflutet, aber es leben 57 verschiedene Vogelarten darunter Baumläufer, Eisvögel und Reiher auf der Insel. Auch seltene Schnecken, wie die Gemeine Schließmund Schnecke (Balea biplicata) und die Pseudotrichia rubiginosa, sowie verschiedene seltene Käfer kann man hier finden. Die Vielfalt seltener Tierarten macht die Insel zu einer der bedeutendsten Naturschutzgebiete des London Wildlife Trust. Es ist auch Teil der The River Thames and tidal tributaries Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation. Isleworth Ait war ein historisch ein wichtiger Ort für die Korb-Weide, aus deren Zweigen für Körbe für den Transport von Obst und Gemüse aus Middlesex auf die Märkte in London hergestellt wurde. Es gab fünf benachbarte Inseln, die jedoch im Laufe der Zeit teilweise durch den Schiffsverkehr zerstört wurden. Der River Crane mündet südlich der Insel in die Themse und der Duke of Northumberland’s River am nördlichen Ende. Das Metropolitan Water Board kaufte die Insel in den 1930er Jahren vom Duke of Northumberland. Thames Water ist der heutige Besitzer der Insel, über die eine durch eine Leitung eine Einleitung von gesäubertem Wasser aus dem nahegelegenen Klärwerk Mogden Sewage Treatment Works in die Themse erfolgt. Die Insel wird von den Freiwilligen der Hounslow Gruppe des London Wildlife Trust gepflegt. Siehe auch Liste der Inseln in der Themse Weblinks Einzelnachweise
