Vrtljivi most čez Tyne

Vrtljivi most je [[kovinski most]g čez reko Tyne v Angliji, ki povezuje Newcastle upon Tyne in Gateshead ter leži med mostom Tyne in mostom High Level. Je stavba, uvrščena na seznam spomenikov II.*. Zgodovina Vrtljivi most stoji na mestu starih mostov Tyne iz let 1270 in 1781 ter verjetno tudi na mestu originalnega rimskega mostu Pons Aelius. Prejšnji most na tem mestu je bil porušen leta 1868, da bi omogočili večjim ladjam plovbo gorvodno do tovarn Williama Armstronga. Hidravlični vrtljivi most je zasnoval in plačal Armstrong, dela pa so se začela leta 1873. Za cestni promet je bil prvič uporabljen 15. junija 1876, za rečni promet pa odprt 17. julija 1876. V času gradnje je bil največji vrtljivi most, kar jih je bilo kdaj koli zgrajenih. Stroški gradnje so znašali 240.000 funtov. Hidravlična energija, ki se je uporabljala za premikanje mostu, je bila prvotno pridobljena iz parnih črpalk, ki so jih leta 1959 nadomestile električne črpalke. Te napajajo hidravlični akumulator, vkopan v 18 m globok jašek pod mostom; voda se nato sprosti pod pritiskom, ki poganja stroje za obračanje mostu. Mehanizem, ki se uporablja za to, je še vedno isti stroj, kot ga je prvotno namestil Armstrong. Ima konzolni razpon 86 m z osrednjo osjo vrtenja, ki se lahko premika za 360°, da omogoča plovbo na obeh straneh. Najbolj obremenjeno leto delovanja je bilo 1924, ko se je most zavrtel 6000-krat, za razliko od današnje uporabe, kjer se je treba obrniti le občasno, da se omogoči plovba jaht in rekreacijskih plovil in prvo sredo v mesecu kot vzdrževalna vaja. Most je bil predstavljen v zadnji epizodi in vrhuncu izobraževalne serije Geordie Racer iz leta 1988 iz serije Look and Read, ko so zlobneži po ropu obtičali na mostu. Maja 2016 je na pontonu pod mostom izbruhnil požar. Požar je prizadel približno 20 kvadratnih metrov), s katerim sta se spopadli dve gasilski ekipi in gasilski čoln. Most je bil leta 2018 obnovljen, kar je stalo 200.000 funtov. Obnova je vključevala 25.000 ur dela in pri popravilih je bilo uporabljenih 10.000 vijakov. Ponovno odprtje avgusta 2021 so zaznamovale tehnične težave, zaradi katerih se most ni mogel nihati. Sklici Zunanje povezave Lokacija
Swingate transmitting station

The Swingate transmitting station is a facility for FM and DAB radio transmission in the village of Swingate, near Dover, Kent (grid reference TR334429). For many years there were four lattice towers with a height of 111 metres (364 ft). This station was one of the first 5 Chain Home Radar stations completed in 1936 and was originally designated AMES (Air Ministry Experimental Station) 04 Dover. The broadcast transmitting antennas are attached to what was the middle tower; microwave link dishes and mobile telephone antennas were spread across all three towers. The south tower was dismantled in March 2010, as a result, only two remain. The Swingate towers no longer have the three cantilever platforms that were fitted originally. History Originally there were four towers with wires stretched between them to transmit radio waves that were detected by a group of four smaller towers to the east of the surviving ones. The receiver towers were demolished after the war, along with one of the transmitter towers. Subsequently the north mast was demolished and replaced with a similar tower with a different bracing design. During the Cold War the towers sprouted four transmitters at their base which were popularly assumed to be part of the US ACE High communication system but were more likely an RAF link to Germany. The south tower was dismantled in March 2010. Timeline In 1936, four towers with platforms were erected. In 1955 one tower was dismantled, leaving three standing. In 1991 the north tower was replaced by a shorter one. In 2010 the south tower was dismantled. Channels available from this site High Frequency Trading Several of the microwave dishes located on one of the towers provide connections via a chain of towers between the NYSE Euronext data centres in Basildon and Slough, and Frankfurt for use in High Frequency Trading. Microwave links have lower latency (delay) than other communications systems. Analogue radio The transmitter is the main transmission station for the BBC which serves the bulk of Kent.

Swingfield Preceptory

Swingfield Preceptory (or St John's Commandery, Swingfield) was a priory about 5 miles north of Folkestone, Kent on the south coast of England. History The Preceptory (headquarters of certain orders of monastic knights) was taken over by the Knights Hospitaller in 1180 after sisters of the same order were moved to Buckland Priory. It was suppressed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries and leased on 16 March 1541 to John Thorgood and Thomas Horseley for twenty-one years. It then passed through many families (including Sir Anthony Aucher, Sir Henry Palmer, of Wingham and Sir Thomas Palmer, 4th Baronet, of Wingham). The 13th-century St John's Chapel still survives on Swanton Lane and is under the care of English Heritage. Architecture It was originally built between the 13th and 16th centuries as a farmhouse of flint, which has been knapped in places. It also has stone quoins and dressings. The west gable end is tile-hung on both floors. The north elevation retains areas of render painted and is scored to resemble red brick in Flemish bond. References External links English Heritage
Swinley Forest Golf Club

Swinley Forest Golf Club is a golf club located in Swinley Forest off Coronation Road, three miles southwest of Ascot, Berkshire, England. It was established in 1909. The course measures a little over 6,000 yards (5,500 m) and was designed by Harry Colt who described it as his "least bad course." Colt routed the course over gently undulating heathland. Most golf courses in the United Kingdom welcome some type of guest play. However, Swinley Forest remains one of the most private golf clubs in the United Kingdom.

Swithland Hall

Swithland Hall is a 19th-century Neoclassical country house in Swithland, Leicestershire, designed by James Pennethorne. History The present Swithland Hall was built for George John Danvers-Butler, later Earl of Lanesborough. Designed by the architect James Pennethorne, it was complete enough to be occupied by 1834, and was finished by 1852. The house replaced an earlier one on the estate. T.R. Potter recorded in his History and Antiquities of Charnwood Forest (1842):The residence of the owners of Swithland was, till the present generation, situated near the Church. It was a considerable pile, but so surrounded on all sides, even in front, by stables, dovecotes and high walls, and so close to the public road, that the present proprietor has judiciously pulled it down, and erected on a higher ground a mansion more suited to the taste of the age. It is built of stuccoed and painted granite and slate rubble and brick, with Swithland slate roofs concealed by a parapet. It consists of a central block and two wings in a restrained neo-classical style with banded rustication to the ground floor. It has two storeys, with a sunken basement. The entrance front has one-storey porch with four paired fluted Doric columns up four stone steps. The house was Grade II listed in 1979.

Swynnerton Hall

Swynnerton Hall is an 18th-century country mansion house, the home of Lord Stafford, situated at Swynnerton near Stone, Staffordshire. It is a Grade I listed building. History The manor of Swynnerton was owned by the eponymous family for several centuries before it came to the Fitzherberts when William Fitzherbert, third son of Sir Anthony Fitzherbert of Norbury Hall, married Elizabeth, daughter and co-heir of Humphrey Swynnerton, in 1562. The Fitzherberts, a staunchly Catholic family, were Royalist sympathisers during the English Civil War and the house was irreparably damaged by the Parliamentarian forces. The Norbury and Swynnerton estates were united when, in 1649, John Fitzherbert of Norbury bequeathed his estate to his cousin William Fitzherbert of Swynnerton. The manor was rebuilt in about 1729 to an impressive Georgian style design by architect Francis Smith of Warwick, consisting of three storeys and a nine-bayed frontage. Following Catholic emancipation, a private family chapel was built adjacent to the Hall by Gilbert Blount around 1868. The chapel has Grade II* listed status and today serves as the parish church for the local Catholic community. Given the historical influence of the Fitzherbert family, the chapel is larger than is usually found in rural English locations. Francis Fitzherbert inherited the title Baron Stafford on the death of his maternal uncle, Fitzherbert Stafford Jerningham of Costessey Hall, Norfolk in 1913. The estate has since been the seat of the barony. In January 2013 the government announced plans to build the High Speed 2 railway and part of it would pass through the historic estate, with the railhead located at Stone. Francis Fitzherbert, 15th Baron Stafford, was among the first who opposed the plans, stating that the railway's path would irreparably damage the countryside and that the estate constitutes part of a designated conservation area. A former High Sheriff of Staffordshire, Lord Stafford still resides at the Hall and farms the 3,000-acre (1,200 ha) estate. Estate and land The park surrounding the hall was laid out by Capability Brown. The estate, known as Swynnerton Park, almost entirely encompasses the village of Swynnerton. The open landscape is used for agriculture, although parts of it were left untouched and open to the public as part of the promoted Hanchurch Hills Walks scenic trail. Notable residents Thomas Fitzherbert of Swynnerton was a leading Jesuit of his day. Maria Fitzherbert, the mistress/secret wife of the future George IV, was the widow of a later Thomas Fitzherbert of Swynnerton.

Swynnerton Hall

Swynnerton Hall est un manoir de campagne du XVIIIe siècle, demeure de Lord Stafford, situé à Swynnerton près de Stone, dans le Staffordshire. Il s'agit d'un bâtiment classé Grade I. Histoire Le manoir de Swynnerton appartient à la famille éponyme pendant plusieurs siècles avant d'arriver aux Fitzherbert lorsque William Fitzherbert, troisième fils d'Anthony Fitzherbert de Norbury Hall, épouse Elizabeth, fille et co-héritière d'Humphrey Swynnerton, en 1562. Les Fitzherbert, une famille résolument catholique, sont des sympathisants royalistes pendant la guerre civile anglaise et la maison est irrémédiablement endommagée par les forces parlementaires. Les domaines Norbury et Swynnerton sont unis lorsque, en 1649, John Fitzherbert de Norbury lègue son domaine à son cousin William Fitzherbert de Swynnerton. Le manoir est reconstruit vers 1729 dans un style géorgien conçu par l'architecte Francis Smith de Warwick (en), composé de trois étages et d'une façade à neuf travées. À la suite de l'émancipation catholique, une chapelle familiale privée est construite à côté de la Halle par Gilbert Blount vers 1868. La chapelle a le statut de catégorie II* et sert aujourd'hui d'église paroissiale pour la communauté catholique locale. Compte tenu de l'influence historique de la famille Fitzherbert, la chapelle est plus grande que ce que l'on trouve habituellement dans les zones rurales anglaises. Francis Fitzherbert hérite du titre de baron Stafford à la mort de son oncle maternel, Fitzherbert Stafford Jerningham de Costessey Hall, Norfolk en 1913. Le domaine est depuis le siège de la baronnie. En janvier 2013, le gouvernement annonce son intention de construire le chemin de fer High Speed 2 et une partie de celui-ci passerait par le domaine historique, la tête de ligne étant située à Stone. Francis Fitzherbert, 15e baron Stafford, est parmi les premiers à s'opposer aux projets, déclarant que le tracé du chemin de fer endommagerait irrémédiablement la campagne et que le domaine fait partie d'une zone de conservation classée. Domaine Le parc entourant la maison a été aménagé par Capability Brown. Le domaine, connu sous le nom de Swynnerton Park, englobe presque entièrement le village de Swynnerton. Le paysage ouvert est utilisé pour l'agriculture, bien que certaines parties aient été laissées intactes et ouvertes au public dans le cadre du sentier panoramique promu Hanchurch Hills Walks.

Sydenham High School

Sydenham & Dulwich Girls is a private day school for 4- to 18-year-old girls located in London, England. Sydenham & Dulwich Girls was founded by the Girls’ Public Day School Trust in 1887. Since then, the original school roll of 20 pupils has grown to 724 girls. The school is separated into the senior and junior schools, each with a separate site on Westwood Hill in Sydenham. The school changed its name from Sydenham High School to Sydenham & Dulwich Girls in 2026 to coincide with the opening of its new Sixth Form, The Foundry, built as an extension to the original 1889 stable block, and the innovation and maker spaces forming the new entrance building, Fairlight, named after one of the school's original buildings. History The school was created by the Girls’ Public Day School Trust in 1887 with an initial school roll of twenty and Ms I Thomas as the founding head. In 1901 the mathematics graduate Helen Sheldon became the school's second head teacher. She created the school's first orchestra. She introduced the idea of senior girls becoming prefects and she divided the school into houses. Sheldon's family had left her money and she used some of this to offer her school interest free loans. A minor addition was a school pavilion that was created from an old tram, but the major additions was to the school grounds. Using the money she lent to the school the campus was increased by the purchase of adjoining land. In 1910 Sheldon obtained permission for the school's buildings to be increased by the use of two former residential houses. Sheldon retired in 1917. In April 1934, the school moved to Horner Grange, a former house built for diamond magnate William Knight in 1884, where he lived until his death in 1900. The premises subsequently became a hotel before the school bought the freehold. It was damaged by fire in 1997, but the building was restored. The school's original Anglo Saxon motto, Nyle ye drede, means "fear nothing" and is adopted by the school as a whole.

Sylvan House Barn

Sylvan House Barn (grid reference SO534023) is a 0.005-hectare (0.012-acre) stone built barn near the village of St Briavels, in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. Because of its breeding bats, the site was notified as a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1995. Sylvan House Barn supports a breeding roost of Lesser horseshoe bats which consists of one fifth of the known Gloucestershire breeding population, and has been deemed by Natural England to be of national importance. The notified site consists of the roofspace of the barn and the roof of an adjacent lean-to, in total an area of 0.005 hectares. Location and habitat The Wye Valley and Forest of Dean are one of the main locations for Lesser horseshoe bats because of the deciduous woodlands and, sheltered valleys, which provide a good feeding area, and the underground systems which provide roosting and breeding sites. The site is one of a series of Sites of Special Scientific Interest within the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley (Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire). These sites support (between them) breeding and hibernation roosts for Lesser and Greater horseshoe bats. This is of European importance. Other sites in the group in Gloucestershire (all of which are SSSIs) include the breeding sites of Blaisdon Hall, Caerwood And Ashberry Goose House and Dean Hall Coach House & Cellar. Hibernation sites include Buckshraft Mine & Bradley Hill Railway Tunnel, Devil's Chapel Scowles, Old Bow And Old Ham Mines and Westbury Brook Ironstone Mine. The citations for the series of sites provide common information. Wye Valley and Forest of Dean Bat Sites/ Safleoedd Ystlumod Dyffryn Gwy a Fforest y Ddena are recognised as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) under the EU Habitats Directive.
