Portbury Ashlands

Portbury Ashlands which is now known as Portbury Wharf Nature Reserve is a nature reserve between Portishead and the Royal Portbury Dock in Somerset, England. It was formed from the redevelopment of the area of Portishead formerly occupied by two power stations. To the east of the harbour, an area known as "the Ashlands" was used for over 50 years to get rid of power station waste which was dumped into lagoons on the site. The Portishead power stations were coal-fed electric power stations. Construction work started on Portishead "A" power station in 1926. It began generating electricity in 1929 for the Bristol Corporation's Electricity Department. Construction of Portishead "B" power station began in 1949; it became operational in 1955. The stations used some local coal produced in the Somerset coalfield, which was delivered by train along the Portishead branch of the Great Western Railway (GWR). The main supply of coal was brought from South Wales, from Newport and Ely, Cardiff by boat into the dock; it was carried by Osborn & Wallis of Bristol. Avon Wildlife Trust have taken over management of the area, which covers around 100 acres (40 ha), from the developers Persimmon plc. It was implemented as ecological mitigation for the housing development and included the introduction of a public access network. In 2015 the North Somerset council decided to take over management of the reserve and that residents of the housing development would no longer need to pay the £50 per annum levy for the upkeep. Some local residents are worried that the council does not have the expertise required to take over from the wildlife trust and for the longer term implications for the site. The site includes two large pools, several ponds, rhynes, grazing marsh, hay meadows and hedgerows. It provides a habitat for a wide range of plants and animals. Great crested newts (Triturus cristatus), water voles (Arvicola amphibius), grass snakes (Natrix natrix) and brown hares (Lepus europaeus) have been seen and there is evidence that otters (Lutra lutra) are moving in. A wide variety of birds are making their homes on the site, including barn owls (Tyto alba), and it is visited by large number of migratory birds which use the Severn Estuary on their journeys. These include: curlew (Numenius arquatus), dunlin (Calidris alpina), redshank (Tringa totanus) and shelduck (Tadorna tadorna). The tidal range results in the estuary having one of the most extensive intertidal wildlife habitats in the UK, comprising mudflats, sandflats, rocky platforms and islands. These form a basis for plant and animal communities typical of extreme physical conditions of liquid mud and tide-swept sand and rock. The estuary is recognised as a wetland area of international importance and is designated as a Ramsar site. Parts of the estuary have also been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The SSSI includes most of the foreshore upstream from Cardiff and Brean Down and most of the upper estuary as far as Sharpness. The Ashlands also provides a green link between the estuary and the Gordano Valley which has been designated as a national nature reserve. References

Porth Hellick Down

Porth Hellick Down (auch The Great tomb on Porth Hellick Down genannt) liegt etwa 2,2 km östlich von Hugh Town auf der Scilly-Insel St Mary’s in Cornwall in England und ist ein Entrance Grave des Typs „Scillonian entrance graves“. Dies ist die größte einer Gruppe von acht Megalithanlagen (vier davon sind gut erhalten) auf Porth Hellick Downs im Osten der Insel. Es hat etwa 12,0 m Durchmesser mit einem 3,6 m langen Gang, der hinter einem Barrierestein zu einer etwa 10,0 m langen Kammer führt, die mit vier Decksteinen von 2,5 m Länge und 1,25 m Breite bedeckt ist. Die Stätte wurde 1899 vom Altertumsforscher George Bonsor ausgegraben. Bonsors Ausgrabung ist die erste detailliert dokumentierte Ausgrabung auf Scilly.

Porth Nanven

Porth Nanven (grid reference SW355307; most well known as Cot Valley and occasionally known as Penanwell) is a beach in the far west of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is located half-a-mile west of the town of St Just. The beach is at the seaward end of the Cot Valley and is part of the Aire Point To Carrick Du Site of Special Scientific Interest. Porth Nanven has sometimes been referred to as 'Dinosaur Egg Beach' in the media because of a remarkable deposit of ovoid boulders covering the beach and foreshore. These boulders come in all sizes, from hen's egg to a metre or more in length, and have proved so tempting as souvenirs that they are now legally protected by the National Trust which owns the beach. Many visitors assume that these weirdly shaped boulders are the work of the sea, which they are, but the sea of 120,000 years ago. Sea levels have changed several times since then and are now much lower, causing the ancient beach to be suspended in the cliff above the present level. Stand on the beach and look back towards the cliff, and you will see a wall of the rounded rocks waiting to break away and join those on the beach today. Work was completed in December 2005 on diverting and treating the sewage which used to be deposited offshore here; it is now safe to swim in the cove.

Porth Nanven

Porth Nanven (plus connu sous le nom de la vallée de Cot et parfois connu sous le nom Penanwell) est une plage à l’extrême ouest des Cornouailles, en Angleterre, au Royaume-Uni. Elle est située à 800 mètres à l’ouest de la ville de St Just in Penwith. La plage est à l’extrémité maritime de la vallée de Cot et fait partie de l’Aire Point To Carrick du Site d'intérêt scientifique particulier. Porth Nanven a parfois été appelé « Dinosaur Egg Beach » (la plage des œufs de dinosaure) dans les médias en raison d’un dépôt remarquable de rochers ovoïdes couvrant la plage et l’estran. Ces rochers sont de toutes tailles, depuis celle d’un œuf de poule à un mètre ou plus de longueur, et se sont avérés si tentants à ramasser comme souvenirs qu’ils sont maintenant légalement protégés par le National Trust qui possède la plage. Beaucoup de visiteurs supposent que ces rochers bizarrement formés sont l’œuvre de la mer. C’est vrai, mais la mer d’il y a 120 000 ans. Le niveau de la mer a changé à plusieurs reprises depuis lors et il est maintenant beaucoup plus bas, de sorte que l’ancienne plage est suspendue dans la falaise au-dessus du niveau actuel de la mer. Tenez-vous sur la plage et regardez en arrière vers la falaise, et vous verrez un mur de rochers arrondis qui attendent de se détacher et de rejoindre ceux déjà sur la plage. Les travaux de détournement et de traitement des eaux usées, qui étaient autrefois rejetées en mer dans cette zone, ont été achevés en décembre 2005. Il est maintenant sûr de nager dans la crique. Porth Nanven est présentée comme l’une des 10 meilleures plages du Royaume-Uni.

Porth Reservoir

Porth Reservoir is a reservoir in Cornwall, England, most of which is in the parish of Colan. The concrete dam was completed in 1960, and the lake has a net capacity of approximately 113,000,000 gallons (514,000,000 litres). The reservoir has an area of about 40 acres (0.16 km2), and a perimeter of approximately 3 miles (4.8 km). It now operates as a coarse fishery, with a nature reserve at one end. The reservoir is principally fed by the small river that starts near Ruthvoes, about 4 miles (6 km) to the east. From the reservoir's outlet, the river flows to St Columb Porth, where it enters the sea. Construction of the reservoir and dam was carried out by the Newquay & District Water Company. It was officially opened on 16 June 1960 by A. C. McLellan, then president of the Institution of Water Engineers. See also St Columb Major List of reservoirs and dams in the United Kingdom References

Portland House, Aldermaston

Portland House is an office building in Aldermaston, Berkshire, UK. It was designed by Richard Gilbert Scott (1923-2017), the architect son of Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. It was one of the buildings he was most proud of, and in his last years was distressed to learn it was under threat. After the Aldermaston estate was bought by Praxis in 2014, Scott's building was - without proper consultation - awarded a Certificate of Immunity from Listing. In June 2017 the Aldermaston estate was again for sale. Built on the site of Associated Electrical Industries's MERLIN reactor, Portland House was built in the mid-1980s as a new international headquarters for Blue Circle Industries. It was opened by Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester, and won an award in 1986 from The Concrete Society. After Pioneer Concrete's acquisition of Blue Circle in 2001, the telecommunications company Acterna became tenants of the building. References External links Official website
Portland Museum, Dorset

Portland Museum is a museum on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, southern England. It is located at the southern end of the hamlet of Wakeham. The museum is housed in two 17th-century thatched cottages, which have both been Grade II Listed since 1951. One of the museum's cottages, Avice's Cottage, is featured in Thomas Hardy's 1897 novel The Well-Beloved, as the home of three generations of "Avices" – the novel's heroines. Portland Museum was founded by Marie Stopes, who purchased the museum's two cottages, then derelict, in 1929. She then donated them to Portland as a museum which opened in 1930. Stopes was the first honorary curator and continued her association with the museum until her death in 1958. Features The museum has four distinct themes; the history of Portland stone, the Jurassic Coast, shipwrecks around Portland's coast and famous people linked with the island. It also displays examples of the island's archaeology from the Stone Ages onwards. The Marie Stopes Cottage features a small exhibition about Stopes and a display of items connected to Hardy. A "Victorian Corner" displays the wedding dress of a local girl and objects that would have been found in a Victorian parlour. The top-floor of the cottage contains the Maritime Room. The garden has a collection of local fossils and artifacts, including the casing of a World War II bomb found on Portland in 1995. The management of Portland Museum was transferred from Weymouth and Portland Borough Council to the newly formed Portland Museum Trust on 1 April 2008. The trust, a registered charity, continues to operate the museum. In 2012 the Portland Island Museum Supporters group was established.

Museu de Portland (Dorset)

O Museu de Portland é um museu na Ilha de Portland, em Dorset, no sul da Inglaterra. Ele é situado na extremidade sul do vilarejo de Wakeham. O museu está localizado em duas cabanas de palha do século XVII, as duas catalogadas como Grau II desde 1951. Uma das cabanas do museu, Avice's Cottage, é mostrada no romance de Thomas Hardy, The Well-Beloved, de 1897, como a casa de três gerações de "Avices" - as heroínas do romance. O Museu de Portland foi criado por Marie Stopes, que adquiriu os dois chalés do museu, então abandonados, em 1929. Ela então os cedeu para Portland como um museu que foi aberto em 1930. Stopes foi a primeira curadora honorária e continuou sua associação com o museu até seu falecimento em 1958. Características O museu tem quatro assuntos diferentes; a história da pedra de Portland, a costa do Jurássico, naufrágios na costa de Portland e pessoas famosas associadas à ilha. Também expõe exemplos da arqueologia da ilha desde a Idade da Pedra. O Marie Stopes Cottage exibe uma pequena exposição sobre Stopes e uma exposição de objetos ligados a Hardy. Uma "esquina vitoriana" exibe o vestido de noiva de uma garota local e peças que seriam achados em um salão vitoriano. O último piso da casa contém a Sala Marítima. O jardim tem um acervo de fósseis e artefatos locais, incluindo o invólucro de uma bomba da Segunda Guerra Mundial achada em Portland em 1995. A direção do Museu de Portland foi passada do Weymouth e Portland Borough Council para o Portland Museum Trust recentemente formado em 1 de abril de 2008. O trust, uma instituição de caridade registrada, segue operando o museu. De 2009 até o presente, o museu continua a sofrer uma grande reforma, enquanto o grupo de apoiadores do Museu da Ilha de Portland também foi definido. Referências
Portledge Manor

Portledge Manor is an English manor house in the parish of Alwington, southwest of Bideford, Devon. It and the land surrounding it belonged to the Coffin family, a noble family of Norman origin, for almost 1000 years. History The house sits on the edge of Bideford Bay, looking out over the Bristol Channel. The parish of Alwington and the surrounding area was given to the family by William the Conqueror, as part of a reward for loyalty and service during the Norman Conquest. Most of the current house dates from the 17th century, but parts of it have stood since the reign of King Henry III, circa 1234. The 13th-century arch of the chapel still stands and the Brew House remains from when hops were grown on the estate. The Great Hall's minstrel gallery was moved in the late 19th century to Alwington Church, a 15th-century church containing many monuments to the Pine-Coffin family. The dining-room retains a ceiling plastered with the family's coat of arms. The courtyard was roofed in and made into a new hall in the middle of the 18th century. There are many pieces of fine furniture, ancestral heirlooms, carved stone coats of arms, Spanish armour, and guns from the Spanish Armada. There is also a bell tower and a Spanish courtyard. The estate's archive, a historical record going back over 700 years, was sold to the Devon Council for almost £50,000. The family owned most of the surrounding villages, but the last of these were sold at auction in 1981. The estate itself was sold in 1998, after nine centuries in the Coffin family's hands. This was due to a dispute with Inland Revenue. It is now the home of Michael Cannon, pub entrepreneur and former owner of Fuddrucker's restaurant chain.

Portslade Aldridge Community Academy

Portslade Aldridge Community Academy (PACA) (formerly Portslade Community College) is a secondary school in Portslade, in the city of Brighton and Hove, England. The school has around 1000 pupils. It is part of the Aldridge Education multi-academy trust. In June 2015 the Governors at Portslade Aldridge Community Academy announced the appointment of Mark Poston as the new Principal at PACA. The school is involved in the Aldridge Cricket Academy which allows students from Brighton Aldridge Community Academy or Portslade Aldridge Community Academy to combine academic studies with an intensive cricket development programme. Location and history Portslade Aldridge Community Academy is located on Chalky Road in Portslade. It was previously located over three sites, however £12.7 million was invested in extending the Chalky Road site to include a dance studio, community library, and STEM Centre, completed in 2014. Main school (Chalky Road site) The Chalky Road site was previously known as Portslade Secondary Modern School for Girls, (circa 1947) and then later Mile Oak Girls School, (circa 1954). The school was renamed Portslade Community College in the 1970s, and was opened by Margaret Thatcher, while Secretary of State for Education. Sixth Form Centre PACA Sixth Form closed in 2019. Move to academy status In 2009, an OFSTED inspection judged the overall effectiveness of the school "inadequate" and found that "Standards are exceptionally low". A further inspection led to the decision that the school required special measures. The Aldridge Foundation, led by Rod Aldridge, expressed an interest in 2009 in sponsoring PCC to become an academy, in the same way that it had sponsored the academy at Falmer High School. This was approved by the Department for Education and finally agreed by the City Council in February 2011. The council report proposing the closure of PCC to make way for the academy stated that to leave PCC unchanged was "not considered acceptable as in discussions with the DfE it has been agreed that the school requires significant structural change to improve the results achieved by the school". The sum of £12.7 million will be available to the academy which will enable the sixth form provision to be moved to the main site at Mile Oak, as well as providing new science facilities. Academic results In 2015 they reported their best ever results with 60% of students achieving 5 GCSEs at grade A*-C including English and Maths, 78% achieving A* to C grades in English and 68% achieving A* to C grades in maths. Previously, it had been as low as 25% of students achieved Level 2 (5+ A*-C) including English and maths GCSEs, in 2009, compared with 44% across all Brighton and Hove schools. In 2010, this had risen to 35%. Adult education The adult education centre within the school was shortlisted, as one of four institutions, for an "Education Oscars" event organised by the Centre for Excellence in Leadership. In 2006, 645 adult students gained a qualification with the school. References
