Sheffield Winter Gardens

Sheffield Winter Garden est une grande serre tempérée située à Sheffield, dans le Yorkshire du Sud, en Angleterre. C'est l'une des plus grandes serres tempérées construites au Royaume-Uni au cours des cent dernières années, et la plus grande serre urbaine d'Europe. Elle abrite plus de 2 000 plantes du monde entier. Elle a été officiellement inaugurée par la reine Élisabeth II le 22 mai 2003. Description La serre, financée par la Millennium Commission, le conseil municipal de Sheffield et English Partnerships, fait partie du projet de régénération du cœur de la ville de 120 millions de livres sterling qui a créé Peace Gardens (en) et Millennium Gallery (en) de 15 millions de livres sterling. Le Winter Garden (jardin d'hiver) a été conçu par Pringle Richards Sharratt et Buro Happold et mesure environ 70 mètres de long et 21 mètres de haut. Le bâtiment bénéficie d'une protection contre le gel jusqu'à un minimum de 4 °C et est l'un des plus grands bâtiments en bois lamellé-collé (le « Glulam ») du Royaume-Uni (le bois lamellé-collé est fabriqué en formant et en collant des bandes de bois selon des formes spécifiques). Le bois utilisé est le mélèze, un bois durable qui, avec le temps, prend une légère teinte gris argenté. Issu de forêts gérées durablement, le mélèze ne nécessite ni conservateurs ni revêtements. Cela réduit l'utilisation de solvants et évite l'utilisation de produits chimiques nocifs pour les plantes. Le bâtiment est équipé d'un système de gestion technique intelligent qui contrôle les ventilateurs et les bouches d'aération pour assurer la fraîcheur des plantes en été et leur maintien au chaud en hiver. Les plantes à massif sont changées cinq fois par an, pour donner un changement saisonnier, et toutes les plantes sont arrosées au tuyau ou à l'arrosoir, car c'est le seul moyen de garantir que toutes les plantes reçoivent la bonne quantité d'eau.

Sheldon Hall, Birmingham

Sheldon Hall is an early 16th-century Grade II* listed manor house located on Gressel Lane in the Tile Cross area of Birmingham, England, consisting of a main block of two stories and attics built of red and black bricks with stone dressings. The city boundary runs along the eastern side of the property, and it was historically located within Warwickshire, near to the border with Worcestershire. The building is now used as a restaurant. In 1439 the manor of Sheldon belonged to Humphrey Stafford, 1st Duke of Buckingham passing on his death in 1460 to his grandson Henry Stafford, 2nd Duke of Buckingham, who was beheaded for treason in 1483. After the attainder of his son Edward in 1521 the whole of Sheldon manor was granted by the Crown to Thomas Grey, 2nd Marquess of Dorset. He died in 1530 and his son Henry Grey, 1st Duke of Suffolk was also attainted and beheaded in 1554. In 1575 Queen Elizabeth I granted Sheldon to Henry Grey on payment of an annual rental but he sold his rights to Sir George Digby of Coleshill Hall. The present hall was built by Sir Edward Digby for his son on the site of an older hall known as the East Hall. In 1751 the hall and surrounding land was bought and leased out by the Birmingham industrialist John Taylor of Bordesley Hall, Birmingham. The Digby family, however, remained in possession until 1919, when it was sold off. The building then gradually fell into a state of disrepair, but was saved from demolition when converted into a restaurant in 1997. Children growing up in the local area during the 1960s and 70s nicknamed the building Baldy's Mansion. Mr Albert Brayley owned the property in 1970s till the early 1990s References External links Virtualbrum Historic England. "Details from listed building database (1075555)".

Shelf Bank

Shelf Bank is a hill in the centre of Oswestry which has been a local nature reserve since 2014. It has an elevation of 145 m (476 ft) and is a 3-hectare (7.4-acre) area consisting of acid grassland and naturally regenerated areas of woodland and scrub. Location and surroundings The site occupies the majority of a knoll which offers views across Oswestry town and the wider Shropshire countryside. For that reason during World War II anti-aircraft guns and lookout posts were established on the summit. Along the southern edge of the site there can be found a section of Wat's Dyke, an earth bank structure dating back to the Dark Ages. On the North side, it was surrounded by a vast desolate area of old railway sidings of the Cambrian Railways' Oswestry Branch Line (closed by 1966) and a huge Victorian engineering works, that has now been converted into a new Health Centre. On the rare occasions when snow falls in the town, it provides the local populace with superb sledging opportunities. Recent history Local legend had it that the land was donated to "the children of Oswestry" by a long-forgotten landlord and as a result of its disputed ownership has proved very difficult to redevelop, despite occupying valuable land just outside the town centre. The site was compulsorily purchased in 2005 by Oswestry Borough Council to ensure it could be managed for wildlife and the quiet recreation of Oswestry residents and visitors alike. Shelf Bank was not left to the children of Oswestry, it was only through the intervention of Shropshire County Council staff that the previous owner of the site was finally found and the land purchased for the people of Oswestry. Shelf Bank is now managed by Shropshire Council who succeeded in having it designated a Local nature Reserve in May 2014. A local group, 'The Friends of Shelf Bank' has also been founded and a management plan implemented ensuring this jewel of Oswestry's Green Network is enjoyed for its flourishing biodiversity, its heritage and views for generations to come.

Shepherd's Bush Village Hall

Shepherd's Bush Village Hall is a Victorian building located on Wood Lane in Shepherd's Bush, London, built in 1898. It was originally constructed as a drill hall for the 1st City of London Volunteer Artillery, but now serves the community as the home of London Vocational Ballet School and West London School of Dance. It was owned by the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham until March 2012 when it was sold to the Wigoder Family Foundation. History The building was originally constructed as a drill hall. The foundation stone, since damaged by shrapnel (presumably during WW2), at Shepherd's Bush Village Hall reads as follows: This drill hall was built for the use of the 1st City of London Volunteer Artillery E.D.R.A, by Stephen A. Walker, Captain No 10 Company. W. Shearburn, architect, Dorking. EDRA stands for "Eastern Division Royal Artillery". WWI During the Great War, the Hammersmith and Fulham Volunteer Regiment was formed, an amalgamation of the Bushmen and the West London Volunteer Corps, named the 20th (Hammersmith) Battalion County of London Regiment. It was composed of four companies, and two of these, the ‘A’ and the ‘B’ Company met at the Drill Hall. The Bushmen (presumably a punning reference to field regiments raised during the Boer War) had their own marching song, which was composed by a local volunteer, Mr Alfred Whittell: "We are the merry Bushmen on the march again, A-singing some refrain, A good song makes you swing along, Let it go! Might and main, We are the merry Bushmen on the march again, A good sport every man, Light and Hearty, we’re an optimistic party, The jolly Old Bushmen on the march again." Modern era The hall was used in the 1960s as a rehearsal facility for Doctor Who. In early 2012 the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, owners of the Shepherd's Bush Village Hall, announced that the building had been sold to the Wigoder Family Foundation, a charitable foundation established by British entrepreneur Charles Wigoder with the aim of supporting a wide range of charitable causes. The Council stated that it intended to spend the proceeds of the sale on front-line services, and to reduce its outstanding debt which at the time stood at £133 million. Among the charities which will continue to rent space in the Hall are The West London School of Dance who currently occupy the ground floor hall of the building. Shepherd's Bush Village Hall is not a listed building but it falls within the Shepherd's Bush Conservation Area, an area designated by the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham as worthy of special protection.

Shepherd & Woodward

Shepherd & Woodward are a traditional clothing outfitters in High Street, Oxford, England. The shop's origins date back to 1845. It is the largest supplier of academic gowns and other clothing for the University of Oxford. The company also runs Walters of Oxford in Turl Street and the Varsity Shop (formerly Castells & Son) which is located within the main High Street premises. History The company was set up by Arthur Shepherd, who in 1877 took over the tailor's shop of Arthur Brockington in 62 Cornmarket St, Oxford. After Arthur's death in 1895, his son Ernest took over the business, and in 1902 he opened a branch named Arthur Shepherd in 32 Trinity St, Cambridge under independent management. In 1929 Ernest Shepherd merged his business with Wilton Woodward, and moved their premises, now renamed Shepherd & Woodward, to The High Street. The current premises at 109–113 High Street were significantly rebuilt between 1932 and 1934, though the Grade II listed building retains original 17th-century fireplaces and internal features. Management of the firm has remained with the Venables family for over three generations. Dennis Venables, who began as an apprentice at the firm in 1927, purchased a share of the partnership in 1945, eventually acquiring the business. The company acquired the historic Oxford tailor Castell & Son (established 1846), which now trades as 'The Varsity Shop'. Castell & Son is historically credited with introducing the first modern necktie in 1870 and codifying the distinct college colours used for Oxford sports blazers and ties. The Cambridge branch of the business was eventually sold to its running partner in 1938. It traded under the name of Arthur Shepherd until 2017, when it closed down upon its last owner's retirement. Academic dress Shepherd & Woodward is a primary supplier of sub-fusc, the formal attire required by the University of Oxford for matriculation and examinations. The store manufactures and supplies gowns for all levels of the university, from the Commoner's Gown worn by undergraduates to the elaborate Full Dress robes worn by university officials and holders of higher doctorates.

Shepherd Wheel

Shepherd Wheel is a working museum in a former water-powered grinding workshop situated on the Porter Brook in the south-west of the City of Sheffield, England. One of the earliest wheels on the River Porter, it is one of the few remaining—and effectively complete—examples of this kind of enterprise, one that used to be commonplace in the Sheffield area. Its 5.5 m (18 ft) diameter overshot water wheel is powered from a large dam stocked with water diverted from the Porter Brook. The workshops, dam, goit and weir are Grade II listed, and the site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. History and buildings In 1584, William Beighton, a cutler of Stumperlowe left to his sons in his will: "all my interest terms titles and possession which I have in and upon one watter whele called Potar Whele which I have of the grant of the said Lord". This is the earliest reference to a wheel on the site. The description of this wheel matches one that Edward Shepherd – after whom the site is now named – held the tenancy of in 1794. There were no similar wheels in the area, which leads us to the conclusion that the references are to the same wheel. The present buildings date from c. 1780. Throughout the 19th century the wheel was held by the Hinde family, who operated it until its closure in 1930. In William Beighton's time, the land was originally owned by Gilbert Talbot, 7th Earl of Shrewsbury, who was Lord of the Manor of Sheffield. When he died, his estates passed to Thomas Howard, who became Duke of Norfolk. The land remained with the Dukes of Norfolk until 1900, when Sheffield City Council bought Whiteley Woods to make a public park. The sale also included Shepherd Wheel itself. After a campaign by local history societies, the wheel was restored and opened as a museum in 1962. The museum was closed in 1997 and passed to the management of the Sheffield Industrial Museums Trust in 1998. Museum Since 1998, Shepherd Wheel has been run as a museum by the Sheffield Industrial Museums Trust (now the Sheffield Museums Trust). The museum includes a water wheel, two grinding hulls (rooms with multiple large grinding wheels, operated by the water wheel, built into the floor) and grinding wheels; there is also a collection of tools and equipment on display within the grinding hulls. The Shepherd Wheel reopened (after a restoration project partly funded by a £500,000 Heritage Lottery grant) on 31 March 2012.

Shepperton Lock

Das Shepperton Lock ist eine Schleuse in der Themse. Sie liegt auf der nördlichen Flussseite gegenüber von Weybridge, kann von dort aber nicht direkt erreicht werden. Der Ort Shepperton liegt etwas weiter flussabwärts auf der nördlichen Seite nahe der alten Hauptschifffahrtsroute. Die City of London Corporation baute die Schleuse 1813 und schuf dadurch Lock Island. Es gibt zwei Wehre. Eines verläuft von Lock Island zur Hamhaugh Island und das andere größere zwischen Hamhaugh Island und dem südlichen Ufer. Die Fährverbindung Shepperton–Weybridge verkehrt von der Ferry Lane unterhalb der Schleuse zur Thames Street in Weybridge. Geschichte Ein Wehr bei Shepperton wird 1086 im Domesday Book verzeichnet, doch ist dies vermutlich nicht im Hauptarm der Themse. Es gibt zudem aus dem Jahr 1293 Hinweise auf einen Damm mit einer Maut für durchfahrende Schiffe bei Shepperton. Die Landschaft hat sich wahrscheinlich verändert, so dass dies wohl nicht an der Stelle der heutigen Schleuse lag. Die Schleuse wurde 1813 bei einem kleinen Wasserlauf, der als Stoner’s Gut bekannt war, eingerichtet. Der Wasserlauf galt als Behinderung für die Schifffahrt und wurde nicht genutzt. Boote fuhren normalerweise nach Weybridge oder in die Wey Navigation. Berichte vom Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts erwähnen Überflutungen im Bereich des Stoner’s Gut. Man nimmt an, dass es eine kleine Kirche gab, die auf Pfählen über dem Wasserlauf stand und die fortgespült wurde. Der Wasserlauf wurde 1805 in einen Kanal gelegt und es gab erste Vorschläge eine Schleuse zu errichten. Nach zunächst starkem Widerstand wurde der Vorschlag 1809 erneut vorgebracht und eine hölzerne Schleuse wurde gebaut. 1899 wurde neben der bereits vorhandenen eine steinerne Schleuse gebaut. Die hölzerne Schleuse wurde anschließend abgebaut und verfüllt. Der Fluss oberhalb der Schleuse Unmittelbar nach der Schleuse liegt Pharaoh’s Island. Die Chertsey Bridge überquert den Fluss kurz bevor das Chertsey Lock erreicht wird. Der Nebenarm des Abbey River mündet hier in die Themse. Der Themsepfad verläuft bis zum Chertsey Lock am nördlichen Ufer. Erwähnung in der Literatur Die Schleuse an der Plashwater Mill in Charles Dickens Unser gemeinsamer Freund basiert auf dem Shepperton Lock. In H. G. Wells Der Krieg der Welten findet eine der Hauptschlachten zwischen Weybridge und dem Shepperton Lock statt. Siehe auch Schleusen und Wehr der Themse Weblinks Einzelnachweise
