Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park

Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park is a public park in Kennington, South London. Maintained by the London Borough of Southwark, it is bounded by Lambeth Road, Kennington Road, St George's Road and Brook Drive. It covers an area of 5.9 hectares (15 acres). The grounds of the park surround its central feature, the Imperial War Museum London. History The park was opened in 1934 after the land was gifted to the 'splendid struggling mothers of Southwark' by Harold Harmsworth, 1st Viscount Rothermere. The park was named in remembrance of Rothermere's mother, Geraldine Mary Harmsworth. The land had previously been the grounds of the Dog and Duck tavern and later the Bethlem Hospital, after which the freehold was purchased by Rothermere following the relocation of the hospital to Surrey. The hospital building, constructed between 1812 and 1814, was largely demolished, with the remaining central portion being leased to the government's First Commissioner of Works to accommodate the Imperial War Museum. The park received its first Green Flag Award in 2012. The award was renewed in 2013. Sports facilities The park's sports facilities include five-a-side football pitches, and netball, basketball and tennis courts. The provision of these facilities was supported by a £1.4 million grant from the Big Lottery Fund. Memorials On 9 May 1999 a Soviet War Memorial was unveiled by the Secretary of State for Defence George Robertson, and the Russian ambassador Yuri Fokine. The date of the unveiling was significant as 9 May is marked as Victory Day in Russia. Since its inauguration the memorial has been the site of commemorations of Victory Day, Holocaust Memorial Day and Remembrance Sunday. Also in May 1999 the Dalai Lama opened a Tibetan Peace Garden, commissioned by the Tibet Foundation, in the park. The garden features a bronze cast of the Kalachakra Mandala, contemporary western sculpture, and a pillar inscribed with a message from the Dalai Lama in English, Tibetan, Hindi and Chinese. On 30 October 2004, two Araucaria araucana ('monkey puzzle') trees were planted near the park's eastern gates in memory of two Chileans who were forcibly 'disappeared' in 1974 following a military coup in Chile. The plantings were part of the Chilean Human Rights International Project's 'Ecomemoria' campaign. References
Gheluvelt Park, Worcester

Gheluvelt Park is a public park in Worcester, England, which opened on 17 June 1922 to commemorate the Worcestershire Regiment's 2nd Battalion after their part in Battle of Gheluvelt, a World War I battle that took place on 31 October 1914 in Gheluvelt (near Ypres), Belgium. It was opened by Field Marshal John French, 1st Earl of Ypres, who stated, "on that day the 2nd Worcesters saved the British Empire." A plaque inside the park commemorates Captain Gerald Ernest Lea, who died on 15 September 1914 while commanding D. Company of the 2nd Battalion. The park is located in Worcester, along the A449 (Barbourne Road) and stretches across to the River Severn. The Barbourne Brook, which leads to the Severn, feeds a duck pond within which is a bandstand. The park contains a children's play area and a supervised paddling pool. A conservation site is managed by the Duckworth Worcestershire Trust and, following renovations to the old Victorian Pump House, the Environment Centre provides information about environmental issues as well as sustainability. The Friends of Gheluvelt Park organisation helps maintain the parks and organise events such as Carols in the Park and a St George's Day celebration. A significant area of the park, including the children's play area, was flooded by the Severn and the Barbourne Brook during the 2007 United Kingdom floods in July. Gheluvelt Park has received £850,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund, in order to improve the park. A new play area has been created, a Splash Pad built for toddlers to early teens, the railings have been reinstated along Barbourne Road, and the bandstand has been renovated. Recently, a sculpture costing £33,000 was installed, to symbolise the fallen soldiers, and a funding application has been submitted for outdoor fitness equipment for adults, (2011), including six exercise units and also two concrete table tennis tables. Funding applications have also been made to host a community "Fitness event" in Autumn 2011. References External links Official website

Faro di Godrevy

Il faro di Godrevy è un faro situato a Godrevy Island, un'isola della Cornovaglia. È una torre a base ottagonale in muratura di pietrame, alta 26 metri e dipinta di bianco, unita al fabbricato che aveva la funzione di deposito per il combustibile. I cottage che ospitavano i faristi sono stati demoliti. Storia Al largo di St Ives si estende una serie di pericolosi scogli detti the stones ("le pietre", in inglese) che causarono molti incidenti. Il 30 novembre del 1854 il piroscafo NILE vi naufragò causando la morte di tutti i passeggeri e dei membri dell'equipaggio. In seguito all'incidente la popolazione e gli armatori fecero pressione perché si costruisse un faro, e nel 1859 Trinity House, l'autorità britannica per i fari, prese la decisione di erigerne uno a Godrevy Island. Il progetto fu affidato a James Walker, già progettista dei primi due fari di Bishop Rock ed il faro fu attivato già il 1º marzo dello stesso anno. L'ottica originale era rotante e correva su una rotaia circolare mossa da un motore a gravità il cui moto è generato da un peso che scendeva in una cavità all'interno del muro perimetrale. Il segnale rotante produceva un lampo bianco ogni 10 secondi con una portata di 17 miglia nautiche, mentre una luce rossa fissa con una portata di 15 miglia era visibile in direzione degli scogli. La conduzione era affidata a due guardiani. Il faro era dotato anche di una campana per la nebbia, che veniva suonata ogni 5 secondi. Nel 1939 l'ottica rotante viene sostituita con una nuova ottica fissa e venne installata una lampada ad acetilene; il faro venne automatizzato e i faristi abbandonarono la stazione. Nel 1995 il faro venne convertito all'energia solare con l'installazione di una lampada alogena alimentata da pannelli fotovoltaici. La portata della luce elettrica era di 12 miglia. Nel 2005 Trinity House programmò la disattivazione del faro per il 2010 ma una petizione pubblica da parte delle autorità portuali, associazioni di pescatori ed altre organizzazioni ed autorità della Cornovaglia convinsero Trinity House a mantenere il faro in funzione, seppur riducendo la potenza della luce e di conseguenza la portata, che è ora di 10 miglia. Cultura La scrittrice britannica Virginia Woolf passò alcuni periodi di vacanza a St Ives presso Talland House, una casa affittata dal padre: la vista del faro di Godrevy ispirò il suo romanzo Gita al faro (To the lighthouse) pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1927.

Latarnia morska Godrevy

Latarnia morska Godrevy – latarnia morska położona na skalistej wysepce około 300 m od półwyspu Godrevy, na wschodnim krańcu zatoki St Ives, Kornwalia. W 1988 roku latarnia wraz z sąsiadującymi budynkami została wpisana na listę zabytków English Heritage. Niewielka skalista wysepka, na której wybudowano latarnię morską była dużym zagrożeniem dla żeglugi w tym rejonie. Przez długi czas rozważano budowę na niej latarni morskiej. Wydarzeniem, które ostatecznie przesądziło o budowie latarni było zatonięcie 11 listopada 1854 roku „PSS Nile”. Był to brytyjski żaglowiec zbudowany w 1849 roku w Denny W. & Bros. Ltd. Dumbarton, o pojemności 528 BRT. W wypadku zginęło 40 osób: cała załoga oraz wszyscy pasażerowie. Pod wpływem opinii publicznej Trinity House zdecydowało o budowie latarni. Jej projektantem był James Walker. Latarnia została zbudowana w latach 1858-1859. Pracowało w niej dwóch latarników obsługujących dwa różne światła, białe o okresie 10 sekund oraz czerwone stałe lokalizujące skały. Ich zasięg wynosił odpowiednio 17 i 15 mil. Wieża latarni ma przekrój ośmiokątny i wznosi się na 26 metrów nad poziom wyspy. Bezpośrednio przy niej zbudowana jest chata latarnika, a cały obiekt otoczony jest kamiennym murem. W 1939 roku nastąpiła modernizacja latarni, wymienione zostały soczewki i palnik acetylenu. Kolejna modernizacja miała miejsce w 1995 roku, kiedy to zainstalowano wspomagający system zasilania słonecznego. 12 września 1892 roku latarnię morską odwiedziła Virginia Woolf, której jedna z powieści „Do latarni morskiej” rozgrywa się w latarni morskiej na Hybrydach, a jej pierwowzorem latarnia Godrevy. Księga gości z wpisem Virgini Woolf została sprzedana 22 listopada 2011 roku za sumę 10250 funtów. Przypisy Bibliografia Godrevy – history. Lighthouse List, Trinity House. [dostęp 2014-01-01].

Маяк Годреви

Маяк Годреви (англ. Godrevy Lighthouse) — маяк, расположенный недалеко от города Сент-Айвс в графстве Корнуолл. Маяк Годреви был построен в 1858—1859 годах. The Stones reef всегда представлял опасность для судоходства, и маяк планировали построить много раз до того, но проект не был осуществлён до тех пор, пока 11 ноября 1854 года не потерпел крушение SS Nile. Маяк представляет собой белую восьмиугольную башню, 26 метров в высоту, и сделан из щебня, камня и бетона. Основной свет — вращающийся белый, с фиксированным красным светом чуть ниже основного, который виден, когда судно находится в опасном расстоянии от рифов. Первоначально маяк обслуживало три человека, но в 1934 году он был автоматизирован. Свет от маяка виден на расстоянии до 19 км.

Маяк Годреві

Маяк Годреві (англ. Godrevy Lighthouse) — маяк, розташований неподалік від міста Сент-Айвз у графстві Корнуолл (Англія). Будівництво Маяк Годреві побудований в 1858—1859 роках на скелястому острівці на відстані близько 300 м від півострова Годреві. Місцеві води (зокрема, The Stones reef) завжди були небезпечними для судноплавства, і маяк планували побудувати неодноразово, але проєкт не був втілений до 11 листопада 1854 року, допоки тут не зазнав аварії британський вітрильник SS Nile. У результаті загинуло 40 осіб: увесь екіпаж та всі пасажири. Під впливом громадської думки й побудували маяк. Джеймса Саткліффа було призначено інженером проєкту, а дизайнером маяка став Джеймс Уокер. Опис та функціонування Маяк являє собою білу восьмикутну вежу, заввишки 26 метрів, збудовану зі щебеню, каменю і бетону. Основне світло — біле, яке постійно обертається, з фіксованим червоним світлом дещо нижче основного, яке видно, коли судно перебуває на небезпечній відстані від рифів. Спочатку маяк обслуговувало троє працівників, але в 1934 році він був автоматизований. Світло від маяка видно на відстань до 19 км. У 1939 році маяк модернізували, замінили лінзи та ацетиленовий пальник. Чергова модернізація відбулася в 1995 році, коли встановили резервну сонячну енергетичну систему.

Goldmine House

Goldmine House and its attached cottage (Rose Cottage) are at No. 26 Southbank, Great Budworth, Cheshire, England, to the south of St Mary and All Saints' Church. They are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. The house and cottage were built for Rowland Egerton-Warburton of Arley Hall and were designed by the Chester architect John Douglas. They were constructed about 1870 in brown brick with some timber framing, and clay tile roofs. The house is to the west, is in two storeys, and has two bays, both gabled. The western bay is smaller than that to the east and is set back; its gable is timber framed. Between the storeys on both wings is a frieze of zigzag brickwork and plaster. To the east of the house is a single-storey extension with a catslide roof and an arched entrance giving access to rear of the buildings; over the entrance is a timber framed gable. The cottage is simple in form with a dormer and blue brick diapering. In 1884 the editor of The British Architect, Thomas Raffles Davison, described the building as one of the "very pleasing buildings south of the [church] by Mr Douglas".

Great George Street Congregational Church

Great George Street Congregational Church is on the corner of Great George Street and Nelson Street, Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It is no longer in use as a Congregational church, and has been converted into a community arts centre. Formerly nicknamed The Blackie, it has since been officially named The Black-E. The former church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. History The first chapel on the site was built in 1811. The foundation stone was laid in April 1811, and the chapel was opened for worship on 27 May 1812. It cost about £13,000 (equivalent to £910,000 in 2025), and provided seating for nearly 2,000 people. The chapel was destroyed by fire on 19 February 1840. Plans for a new church were drawn up and provided free by Joseph Franklin, the city architect. The foundation stone for the new church was laid on 7 July 1840, and it opened on 21 October 1841. Its cost was £13,992, and again it seated almost 2,000 people. Worship continued in the church until the last service, which was held in February 1967. The building was acquired later that year by the Peter Moores Foundation. Work then began to convert it into the first community arts project in the United Kingdom, combining a contemporary arts centre with a community centre. In 1975 the interior was remodelled by Kingham Knight Associates, removing all the fittings, and dividing it into two floors. By the 1960s the exterior of the church had become darkened by atmospheric pollution, and was nicknamed "The Blackie". Although the exterior was cleaned in the 1980s, it retained this name until it was formally changed to "The Black-E". Architecture The building is constructed in stone, and is in two storeys with a basement. There are nine bays along the sides. At the junction of the two streets is a semicircular portico, with fluted monolithic Corinthian columns carrying a recessed circular tower. Around the tower is a band of small circular windows, and on the top is a shallow dome. Along the sides of the church are Corinthian unfluted pilasters, between which are two tiers of windows; the windows in the upper storeys have round heads, and those below have square heads. The only remaining internal feature from the original design is the double staircase with iron balusters under the dome. The interior of the dome is coffered. Outside the building are ornamental iron railings. See also Grade II listed buildings in Liverpool-L1 References
Great Yarmouth Row Houses

Great Yarmouth Row Houses were wealthy merchants' residences located on South Quay in the town of Great Yarmouth in the English county of Norfolk. Originally built as one family's dwelling, the properties were later sub-divided into tenements and became part of the town's distinctive "Rows"', a network of narrow alleyways linking Yarmouth's three main thoroughfares. Many "Row Houses" were damaged by Second World War bombing or demolished during post-war clearances. These two surviving properties have been preserved to show the different characteristics of the dwellings over various stages in their history. The Row Houses are under the management and care of English Heritage.

Grimshaw Hall

Built in c.1560, Grimshaw Hall (grid reference SP184774) is a half-timbered Tudor manor house located in the village of Knowle, approximately 15 miles from the city of Birmingham, England. The Hall takes its name from the Grimshaw family who occupied it from 1620 to around 1765. Grimshaw Hall is Grade I listed and is considered to be a fine example of Elizabethan domestic architecture. It has a main hall block between two cross-wings which project forwards about six feet; in the centre is a fine two-storeyed porch, which completes the E plan often favoured at that time. The hall is visible during winter months through the bare hedgerows of Hampton Road running between Knowle and Hampton-in-Arden. At most other times of the year the hall retains its seclusion.
