Wandsworth Common est un espace vert commun situé à Wandsworth, dans le Borough londonien de Wandsworth, au sud de Londres. Il couvre une superficie de 69,4 hectares et est entretenu et réglementé par le Conseil de Wandsworth. La population de la paroisse au recensement de 2011 était de 15 247. Agréments Il y a un certain nombre d'étangs et un lac, qui peuvent être utilisés pour la pêche (avec un permis). Le lac est partiellement clôturé au profit de l'avifaune, tandis que d'autres zones proposent des promenades en bois pour les piétons ou un accès au bord de l'eau libre. Un petit pont de briques traverse les eaux du lac, reliant deux sentiers piétonniers. Une ligne de chemin de fer reliant Clapham Junction et les gares de Wandsworth Common divise largement le Common en deux bandes, à l'ouest et à l'est. Une passerelle traverse le chemin de fer environ à mi-chemin le long de la partie ouverte du Common. A l'est de la ligne de train, une vaste zone est principalement utilisée pour les sports de compétition (principalement le football, le rugby...). Les installations comprennent un centre éducatif dans une zone dédiée à la faune connue localement sous le nom de «The Scope» (du nom du télescope Craig, qui était autrefois le plus grand télescope au monde). Il y a aussi des courts de tennis, un terrain de boules et un café-bar, nommé «The Skylark». Un parcours de santé a été aménagé et le Common est populaire auprès des coureurs, promeneurs de chiens et cyclistes locaux. Wandsworth Common abrite également le terrain de jeu Lady Allen Adventure Playground pour les enfants handicapés. Les maisons du côté de Wandsworth se trouvent dans ce qu'on appelle le Toast Rack et comportent de grandes demeures victoriennes comme de petites maisons individuelles, certaines avec des plaques bleues indiquant des résidents notables qui y vivaient auparavant, comme le Premier ministre britannique David Lloyd George. À proximité, le Common possède trois terrains de cricket pour le cricket en été. Il y a également un centre de tennis et de bowling.

History The building was originally constructed to accommodate the Merchant Seamen's Orphan Asylum and was opened by Prince Albert in 1861. A chapel was added in 1863. The orphans moved to Bearwood House in Wokingham and the orphan asylum became a convent in 1921. The building was taken over by Essex County Council and converted to use as a hospital in 1938. It joined the National Health Service in 1948 but, after services were transferred to Whipps Cross Hospital, closed in 1986. The majority of the building was gutted internally and converted into apartments. The hospital's old chapel lay empty until 1995, when it was purchased by what was then the Buckhurst Hill Reform Synagogue. The building was refurbished to a high standard and is now the Sukkat Shalom Reform Synagogue.

Wapping Dock

Wapping Dock is a dock on the River Mersey, England, and part of the Port of Liverpool. It is situated in the southern dock system, connected to Salthouse Dock to the north and Queen's Dock to the south. King's Dock was originally located to the west, but has since been filled in. History The dock was opened in 1852. It was named after the road it runs alongside and which also gave its name to the Wapping Tunnel. The large brick warehouse built in 1856 along the eastern side of the dock was designed by Jesse Hartley. The building is of a similar architectural style to the warehouses surrounding the nearby Albert Dock. When originally built, it was 232 m (254 yd) long and consisted of five separate sections. Bombed in the May Blitz of 1941, the badly damaged southernmost section was not rebuilt, with only the supporting cast iron columns remaining in situ. The remainder of the building continued in commercial use, even after the dock closed in 1972. The warehouse was restored and converted into residential apartments in 1988 and is Grade II* listed.

Warblington Castle

Warblington Castle oder Warblington Manor ist die Ruine eines Herrenhauses beim Dorf Langstone in der englischen Grafschaft Hampshire. Heute ist nur noch etwas mehr als eine Tourelle des alten Torhauses erhalten. Details Auf dem Gelände in Langstone stand ursprünglich ein mittelalterliches Herrenhaus. 1340 soll es eine königliche Lizenz zur Befestigung dieses Hauses (engl.: Licence to Crenellate) gegeben haben, aber das ist nicht sicher. Das Anwesen ging durch viele Hände, bevor es im 15. Jahrhundert in Besitz von Richard Neville, 16. Earl of Warwick kam. Mit der Hinrichtung von Edward Plantagenet, 17. Earl of Warwick, auf Geheiß Königs Heinrichs VII. wurde das Anwesen konfisziert und fiel an die Krone. 1513 gab es König Heinrich VIII. an Margaret Pole, 8. Countess of Salisbury, die ein neues Herrenhaus mit Burggraben an dieser Stelle bauen ließ. Nachdem Margaret Pole wegen Hochverrats verurteilt worden war, wurde das Anwesen auf Zeit an William Fitzwilliam, 1. Earl of Southampton, und an Thomas Wriothesley, 1. Earl of Southampton vergeben. Dann gab Heinrich VIII. die Grundherrschaft an Sir Richard Cotton. Im Oktober 1551 verbrachte Marie de Guise, die Witwe von König Jakob V. von Schottland, eine Nacht in dem Herrenhaus als Gast von Sir Richard Cotton. König Eduard VI. besuchte das Herrenhaus 1552. Königin Elisabeth I. könnte 1586 für zwei Tage zu Gast gewesen sein. Die Familie Cotton behielt das Haus bis zum englischen Bürgerkrieg. Im Januar 1643 belegten die Parlamentaristen unter Colonel Richard Norton das Herrenhaus mit einer Garnison von zwischen 40 und 80 Mann. Anschließend wurde es von den royalistischen Truppen unter Lord Hopton belagert und eingenommen; Colonel Norton konnte jedoch fliehen. Die Familie Cotton unterstützte die royalistische Seite, sodass das Herrenhaus von den parlamentaristischen Truppen größtenteils zerstört wurde. Ein Türmchen des Torhauses ist bis heute erhalten und dient als Navigationshilfe für Schiffe im Langstone Channel. Die Tourelle ist achteckig und hat vier Stockwerke. Sie besteht größtenteils aus Ziegeln mit Steinverkleidungen und Zinnen. Heute sind die Tourelle, der Torbogen und die Auflagen der Zugbrücke im Graben noch erhalten. Das Gelände, auf dem die Überreste stehen, ist Privatgrund. Das Anwesen wurde von English Heritage als historisches Bauwerk II*. Grades gelistet und gilt als Scheduled Monument.

Ward Jackson Park

Ward Jackson Park is a municipal park located in Hartlepool, England. It is named after Ralph Ward Jackson, a local industrialist, who founded West Hartlepool in the 19th century. In later life, Ward Jackson encountered financial difficulties and a fund was established to help him out in his old age. In view of his sudden death, the money collected was used to create a public park. It is Grade II listed in Historic England's Register of Parks and Gardens. History The park was established in 1883 in memory of the founder of West Hartlepool, Ralph Ward Jackson (1806–1880). The land for the park was purchased by a Mr Wooler of Sandberge Hall near Darlington. The 17-acre (6.9 ha) site was purchased by public subscription, two acres (0.81 ha) being donated by Wooler himself. The lodge house dates from 1883, the bandstand and the fountain from 1901 and the clock tower at the Grange Road entrance from 1923. The park lies on a gently undulating site which had been agricultural land known as Old Cow Pasture belong to Tunstall Hall which lies to the south-west. A competition for the park's design was won by the architect T.W. Helliwell and the landscape gardener Lister Kershaw but in order to save money, the development was finally assigned to Matthew Scott. It is bounded on the east by Park Avenue, on the west and south by Elwick Road and to the north by private home. Development and facilities The south-eastern entrance leads in to a lodge (1883) designed by Henry Suggitt and Son, while the north east entrance at the western end of Grange Road is flanked by a brick clock tower with stone details and inscribed "The gift of Alderman John Brown, J P Mayor 1902-3-4. In consideration for others 1921". The tennis and quoit area from the late 1890s in the south-east corner was replaced by a hard tennis court in the 1930s. The rose garden from 1952 was extended in 1979. The park bell to the south of the rose garden was installed around 1924. The bowling green in the north-east corner was added in 1913. The bandstand to the west of the bowling green was presented by Sir William Gray in 1900. The park's lake with an island to the north west was expanded from a small existing pond. It is bordered by an elaborate cast-iron fountain completed in 1902 to commemorate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee. The park also contains a small children's playground. The park contains a memorial commemorating the lives of local service personnel who died in the Second Boer War. In September 2022, a statue of a Boer War soldier sculpted by Ray Lonsdale was installed on the top of the memorial: it was intended to replace a previous statue which disappeared in 1968. References
