Wellacre Quarry

Wellacre Quarry (grid reference SP180370) is a 12.3 hectare geological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Gloucestershire, notified in 1974. It is within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the site was formerly known as Blockley Station Brickworks. The site is listed in the 'Cotswold District' Local Plan 2001-2011 (on line) as a Key Wildlife Site (KWS) and a Regionally Important Geological Site (RIGS). Geology The site is stated as providing the best exposures in Britain of part of the Lower Jurassic, Middle Lias rock succession. This is the subdivision called Luridum Subzone. In other places in Britain this subzone is thin and incomplete, but at Wellacre Quarry it is thick, richly fossiliferous, and there is full research documentation available. The strata contain an abundant fossil fauna. This includes an important suite of ammonites. Specimens from this site have been the subject of research and have provided insight into the evolution and shape of ammonites. Conservation A Natural England report, published in August 2011 (assessment date), states that the conditions of the site remain favourable. Wellacre remains a working quarry and exposures are being created constantly. The quarry remains in the original SSSI boundary and is deep. Restoration plans will eventually be needed.

Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging

The Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging, formerly the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at University College London (incorporating the Leopold Muller Functional Imaging Laboratory and the Wellcome Department of Imaging Neuroscience) is an interdisciplinary centre for neuroimaging research based in London, United Kingdom. Principal investigators working at the Centre include Professors Ray Dolan, Jon Driver, Richard Frackowiak, Chris Frith, Karl Friston, Eleanor Maguire, Cathy Price, and Geraint Rees. The Centre is located in Queen Square in the Bloomsbury area of Central London, adjacent to the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. History 'The Functional Imaging Laboratory (FIL)', was founded in 1994 following a major grant award from the Wellcome Trust. This provided for a new building, capital equipment and core staff support. The award enabled a core group of scientists, based at the Medical Research Council Cyclotron Unit, at the Hammersmith Hospital to relocate their activity to a central London site, within UCL. In 1994 the principal neuroimaging research tool was positron emission tomography (PET). Over the next decade functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) became the primary investigative tool of the FIL, leading to PET decommissioning in 2004. Currently, the investigative tools of the laboratory include functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) magneto-encephalography (MEG) and electro-encephalography (EEG). The laboratory has continued to enjoy core Wellcome Trust infrastructure support through major grant awards in 1999 and 2004. In 2006, following a successful bid for a Strategic Award the laboratory was awarded Wellcome Trust Centre status, and is now known as the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at UCL.

Wellfield Middle School

Wellfield Middle School is located in Whitley Bay, North Tyneside, serving the areas of Wellfield, Earsdon and Monkseaton. In 2015 it had about 360 pupils on its roll from the ages of 9 up to 13. History Prior to 1972, there was a primary school in Wellfield. With Northumberland's creation of a three-tier education system, the school was divided into a First School (South Wellfield First School) and a Middle school (originally called South Wellfield Middle School). In 1993, South Wellfield Middle School and other schools were threatened with closure by North Tyneside Council with a view to reducing surplus places. After a campaign by staff, parents, and pupils to keep the school open, the school successfully applied in 1994 to become one of the few grant-maintained schools in North East England. Following this success, the school changed its name in September 1994 to Wellfield Middle School (Grant-Maintained). When grant-maintained status was abolished, it became known simply as Wellfield Middle School. SATs Pupils at Wellfield complete their KS2 SAT tests in Year 6. Wellfield, along with all other schools in England, have their results published on the DfES website. Famous former pupils Laura Spence, the schoolgirl from Whitley Bay who became the centre of a major political row in 2000 when Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown criticised the decision made by Oxford University not to award her a place to study medicine.

Wellingborough School

Wellingborough School is a co-educational private day school in the market town of Wellingborough in Northamptonshire. It was established in 1595 and is one of the oldest schools in the country. The school today consists of a Prep school (ages 3–10) Senior school (ages 11–16) and a sixth form (ages 16–18). History The original school was a Tudor grammar school in the centre of the town; its original building, built 1617 at a cost of 25 pounds, still survives, now occupied by a local cafe. In January 1881 the school moved under the 28th headmaster to its present 45-acre (180,000 m2) site on the edge of Wellingborough. During World War I, about 1,060 alumni of the school saw action. These included the flying-ace Henry Winslow Woollett, famous for 35 victories in the air. 181 old boys and masters were killed in action, among them the former school chaplain, Bernard Vann, who was awarded the Victoria Cross posthumously. Between the wars, the school's sporting prowess continued, and in 1929 a thatched pavilion was built on the playing fields, paid for out of tuckshop profits. The pavilion has the front door step of the former home of W.G. Grace, acquired in 1939 when his old home in Bristol was demolished. One local boy who sat the scholarship entrance exam unsuccessfully was H.E. Bates. By 1940 the school was failing. It was saved by the arrival of boys from two other schools. The first comprised 33 boys and masters from Weymouth College, a public school in Dorset which was closing; their arrival was marked by the addition of a house to the school: Weymouth House was originally a house for boys, but it became a house for girls in the late 1980s, as the number of female students increased. The second arrival was a group of boys from Lynfield Preparatory School in Norfolk, with their headmaster Robert Britten, the elder brother of the composer Benjamin Britten. The school was led by Thomas Nevill from 1940 to 1956. In World War II, 95 old boys were killed in action. Among survivors was Major George Drew. A serial escaper, he spent most of the war in Colditz. The most distinguished old boy was group captain James Brian Tait, one of the RAF's most highly decorated bomber pilots, who led the attack which sank the German battleship Tirpitz in 1944. In 1965 the school received a visit from Queen Elizabeth II. This was arranged by the chairman of the governors, Albert Edward John Spencer, 7th Earl Spencer (chairman 1946-72). Until the late 1970s the school was still predominantly for boarders. Girls were admitted for the first time in 1970 and it became fully co-educational in 1979, following the sudden closure of Overstone School in Northamptonshire. After over 400 years of boarding tradition, it stopped offering boarding from the 2000-01 school year onwards.

Wellington Pier

Wellington Pier is located in Great Yarmouth in the county of Norfolk, England. History The pier was authorised by the Great Yarmouth Wellington Pier Act 1853 (16 & 17 Vict. c. xv) and opened on 31 October 1853 and the 210-metre (690 ft) wooden structure cost £6,776 to build. The pier was designed by P. Ashcroft. In its first year of opening the pier was a huge success and made an impressive profit for the time of £581. Five years later a second pier was built close to the Wellington which had a very large financial effect on the profitability of the pier. By 1899 Great Yarmouth Corporation bailed out the failing business for the sum of £1,250 and had plans to improve the entertainment and amusement of the pier. On 13 July 1903 a new Pavilion was opened and a failed Winter gardens was bought from Torquay and was incorporated into the design of the pier. Twentieth century In the early 1970s, the pier was substantially strengthened with major steelwork renovations. It was leased from the local council by entertainer Jim Davidson in 1996. He invested around £750,000 of his own money; this was spent on the inside, but the outside was left as neither the lottery nor local projects would fund it. The theatre stood empty until it was partially demolished in early 2005. By late 2005 the front part of the pier has been totally re-developed as an amusement arcade. Between 2005 and 2010 shows were held at the theatre starring Jim Davidson and Bradley Walsh and featured support vocalists such as Tracy Dean. Since taking over the lease from Davidson, Family Amusements now run the entire Wellington and Wintergardens complex, along with the Britannia Pier further north on the seafront. The Winter Gardens was previously a large children's indoor play area, with cafe and bar. Oddly, the aluminium trussing installed by Jim Davidson as part of the Wintergardens nightclub has been retained – as it looks very futuristic, incorporating curves and other abstract shapes, However the Winter Gardens now stands empty having closed during 2008 due to concerns about structural integrity. The play equipment was removed in 2010 and the 1903 structure awaits its fate. By September 2008 the old theatre at the end of the pier had been converted to become a large bowling alley and bars. The original steel and ironwork has been restored and returned to the new building. The 100-year-old original girders are now visible, having been originally hidden in the theatre roof space. The newer building is so similar to the (demolished) old theatre that many visitors do not realise it is a new building. The ten-lane full-size bowling alley takes up most of the space in what was the old auditorium and stage space. An 80-foot-long stained-glass picture was found during the removal of the original Wellington pier theatre structure; it has been restored and will be the centrepiece of the entrance to the new complex. It depicts ships sailing into the port of Great Yarmouth. References External links http://www.wellington-pier.co.uk/index.asp

Villa Rustica (Dicket Mead)

Bei der Villa Rustica von Dicket Mead handelt es sich um die Reste eines römischen Gutshofes, der von 1960 bis 1974 zum Teil ausgegraben wurde. Der Name Dick Mead ist eine alte Flurbezeichnung. Die Reste liegen heute etwas nördlich von Welwyn Garden City und sind zum Teil konserviert und können besichtigt werden. Bei Ausgrabungen konnten vier Gebäude zum Teil freigelegt werden. Im Osten befindet sich eine etwa 6 × 27 großer Bau, der zum Teil in Stein errichtet worden war. Er hatte eine Mittelhalle, die einst wahrscheinlich durch Holzwände in diverse Räume unterteilt war. Im Süden gab es Hypokausten. Die Längsseiten waren jeweils von einer Veranda flankiert. Ein weiterer ähnlicher Bau befand sich auf der Westseite der Anlage. Auch hier gab es eine Mittelhalle und jeweils eine Veranda an den Längsseiten. Im Süden befand sich ein Bad mit einem Tepidarium, einem Caldarium und einem Frigidarium. Die Räume hatten Hypokausten, und es gab einen kleinen Raum, in dem sich das Feuer für die Hypokausten befand. Die Badeanlage wurde konserviert und kann heute besichtigt werden. Sie befindet sich in einer speziell angefertigten Röhre, die sich wiederum unter der A1 road, einer Autobahn, befindet. Ein dritter Bau liegt in etwa in der Mitte der beiden besprochenen Anlage. Es ist hier nur eine Badeanlage mit Hypokausten und Apsiden ausgegraben worden. Bei dem vierten Bau handelt es sich um ein einfaches Quadrat, dessen Funktion unbekannt ist. Die Gebäude der Anlagen waren zum Teil mit Wandmalereien ausgestattet. Die Villa wurde wahrscheinlich um 200 errichtet und bis um die Mitte des vierten Jahrhunderts bewohnt. Die Villa Rustica von Lockleys befindet sich in der Nähe. Literatur Tony Rook: The Roman Villa Site at Dicket Mead, Lockleys, Welwyn. In: Hertfordshire Archaeology. Band 9, 1987, S. 79–175.

Welwyn Roman Baths

The Welwyn Roman Baths are a Roman ruin preserved under the A1(M) just north of modern-day Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, England. The baths were a small part of the Dicket Mead villa, which was originally built in the 3rd century AD. The village of Welwyn has been described as being the site of a Romano-British settlement, where a Roman road crossed the river Mimram. There was another Roman villa near Welwyn on the Lockleys estate. The full extent of the Dicket Mead villa was never fully excavated prior to the construction of the motorway, but the baths were only one of at least four buildings in total. The complex was probably part of a farm. It has been speculated that it might have been at least in part the equivalent of a hotel, lying as it does near Roman roads. The ruins were uncovered in 1960 by local archaeologist Tony Rook, and the baths were gradually uncovered over the following 10 years by excavation. Shortly after the excavation was completed, the Ministry of Transport announced the route of a new motorway, straight over the top of the excavation. Access Eventually arrangements were made whereby a steel vault would be built over the top of the baths with an access tunnel for the public. Once the vault was completed the motorway was built over the top of it, and the remains of the baths sit 9 metres below junction 6. Only about half of the original extent of the baths is now on display. Visible parts remaining include the hypocaust, the tepidarium (warm room), caldarium (hot room) and the frigidarium (cold room) floor and cold bath, constructed from opus signinum. Once the vault was finished, the bulk of the remaining parts of the Dicket Mead villa were covered over by the roadworks. Archaeological material from the site is stored at Mill Green Museum, part of Welwyn Hatfield Museum Service, which also operates the baths. This stored material can be inspected by contacting the curator.
