Steble Fountain

The Steble Fountain stands on William Brown Street in Liverpool, England, to the west of Wellington's Column. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. It was donated to the city by a former mayor to fill a vacant plot to the west of the column. For much of the 2010s and 2020s, the fountain has needed repair and has not functioned. History Towards the end of the 19th century, this was the only undeveloped portion of land between St George's Hall and the buildings on William Brown Street. In 1877 Lieutenant-Colonel Richard Fell Steble offered £1,000 (equivalent to £100,000 as of 2025) to the Improvement Committee of Liverpool City Council towards the erection of a fountain on the site. Steble had been Mayor of Liverpool from 1845 to 1847. The fountain was designed by Michel Joseph Napoléon Liénard and was unveiled in 1879. The casting from which the fountain was derived had originally been designed for the Paris Exposition of 1867 and has been reused with minor variations multiple times across the world, such as in the Brewer Fountain in Boston (USA) or the Tournoy fountain in Quebec City. At the opening ceremony in 1879 the mayor turned the fountain on with a silver key presented by Steble, but the water pressure was low and the effect was "dismal". The water was pumped by a steam pump in the basement of St George's Hall, and the noise from this tended to disrupt the proceedings in the courts above. The steam pump was later replaced by an electric pump. The fountain was restored in 1992 when the Tall Ships' Race came to Liverpool. Description The fountain is constructed in cast iron with some bronze fittings. At the base of the fountain is a circular basin with a diameter of 30 feet (9.1 m). From the centre of the basin rises an octagonal stem on a cruciform base with the statue of a marine god at each corner. These statues depict Neptune, Amphitrite, Acis, and Galatea. Above this is a shallow octagonal bowl with a diameter of 12 feet 6 inches (3.8 m). It has 16 overflow outlets; these are decorated with scallops, Lancastrian roses, and marine grotesques. From the centre of this bowl rises another bowl about 8 feet (2.4 m) in diameter. This is surmounted by a mermaid holding a cornucopia. The total height of the fountain is 23 feet (7 m).

Фонтан Стебла

Фонтан Стебла (англ. Steble Fountain) — фонтан в английском городе Ливерпуле, находящийся на улице William Brown Street к западу от Колонны Веллингтона. Эта достопримечательность Ливерпуля занесена в Список национального наследия Англии, раздел Grade II. История и описание Фонтан был пожертвован мэром города, чтобы заполнить свободный участок к западу от колонны Веллингтона. К концу XIX века это был единственный незастроенный участок земли между St George's Hall и зданиями на улице William Brown Street. В 1877 году подполковник Ричард Фелл Стебл пожертвовал 1000 фунтов стерлингов (эквивалентно 90 000 фунтов стерлингов по состоянию на 2019 год) комитету по благоустройству городского совета Ливерпуля на возведения фонтана. Стебл был мэром Ливерпуля с 1845 по 1847 год. Фонтан был спроектирован французскими скульпторами Матюрена Моро и Мишеля Лиенара и открыт в 1879 году. Отлитое из бронзы произведение первоначально было разработано для Всемирной выставки в Париже 1867 года. Другие копии этого фонтана (более 15) с незначительными вариациями можно найти по всему миру, в их числе фонтан Брюера в Бостоне (был установлен там на десять лет раньше), а также в Квебеке, Буэнос-Айресе, Салвадоре и других местах.. На церемонии открытия фонтана в 1879 году мэр включил фонтан серебряным ключом, подаренным Стеблом, но давление воды было низким, и желаемого эффекта фонтан не произвёл. Вода в него перекачивалась паровым насосом в подвале St George’s Hall, и шум от него мешал работе учреждений, в нём находящихся. Позже паровой насос был заменен бесшумным электрическим насосом. После более чем столетней истории своего существования, фонтан был восстановлен в 1992 году, когда в Ливерпуль прибыла Регата больших парусников. Фонтан построен из чугуна с некоторыми элементами бронзы. У основания фонтана находится круглый бассейн из камня диаметром 30 футов (9,1 метров). Пирамидальной формы конструкция фонтана находится посредине; он имеет две чаши — нижняя большая восьмиугольная, верхняя круглая — поменьше. В центре верхней чаши находится фигура женщины, держащей в руках кувшин откуда, из которого бьёт вода, падая в одну чашу, а потом в другую, наполняя бассейн. Основание нижней чаши диаметром 3,8 метров украшено фигурами Нептуна, Амфитриты (жены Нептуна), а также Ациса и Галатеи (пары влюблённых из греческой мифологии). Из центра этой чаши поднимается ещё одна чаша диаметром 2,4 метра. Венчающая её женщина представлена в виде русалки с рогом изобилия в руках. Общая высота фонтана составляет 7,0 метров.

Steeple Grange Light Railway

Die Steeple Grange Light Railway (SGLR) ist eine 800 Meter lange Schmalspur-Museumseisenbahn mit einer Spurweite von 457 Millimetern (18 Zoll) in Wirksworth in Derbyshire, Großbritannien. Auf ihr fahren Werksbahn-Lokomotiven und Wagen aus britischen Bergwerken, Kiesgruben und Stahlwerken. Streckenverlauf Die Strecke wurde 1985 auf der ehemaligen Killer’s Branch Line von Steeple House Junction an der Cromford and High Peak Railway und der Middleton Quarry in Derbyshire gebaut. Es gibt eine Steilstrecke mit 3,7 Prozent (1:27) Neigung vom hinteren Ende des Lokschuppens bis halbwegs zur Killer’s Branch. Lokomotiven Es gibt zwei einsatzfähige Lokomotiven für Personenzüge, zwei für den Gleisbau und viele, die noch restauriert werden: Greenbat Greenbat ist eine 1,5 t schwere und 5 PS starke Akkulokomotive des Trammer-Typs, die von Greenwood & Batley in Leeds gebaut wurde. Sie hatte eigentlich ein faltbares Führerhaus, so dass sie auch in niedrigen Bergwerksschächten verwendet werden konnte. Sie wurde von einem Stahlwerk bestellt, das ausdrücklich darauf bestand, dass das Führerhaus nicht faltbar sei. Greenbat wurde in verschiedenen Stahlwerken aber nie untertage eingesetzt. ZM32 Horwich Horwich ist die einzige noch erhaltene 18-Zoll-Lokomotive von Ruston & Hornsby. Sie wurde von British Railways im Bahnbetriebswerk Horwich in Lancashire eingesetzt und später neben Wren im National Railway Museum in York ausgestellt. Später wurde sie an eine Bananenplantage in Südamerika verkauft. Sie wurde in den Liverpool Docks eingemottet, bis sie vom Gloddfa Ganol Museum in Wales erworben wurde. Dort wurde sie auf 610 Millimeter (2 Fuß) umgespurt und betriebsfähig generalüberholt. Als das Gloddfa Ganol Museum geschlossen wurde, wurde die Lok von einem Mitglied des SGLR-Vereins erworben, mit einer Luftdruckbremse ausgerüstet und wieder auf 18 Zoll umgespurt. Hudson Diese 1988 von der SGLR selbstgebaute Lokomotive ist durchaus ungewöhnlich. Sie wurde aus einem Mannschaftstransportwagen (Manrider) der Ladywash Mine bei Eyam in Derbyshire gebaut. Sie hat einen Villiers-Motor und ein Getriebe von einer Cricket-Pitch-Walze. Claytons Auf der Museumseisenbahn werden drei Clayton-Akkulokomotiven im Privatbesitz eingesetzt: L10 (Werks-Nr. 5431 vom Januar 1968) und L16 Peggy (Werks-Nr. B0109B vom März 1973) sind 1,8 t schwere und 7 PS starke niedrig bauende Lokomotiven. Lady Marjorie ist eine ebenfalls 1,8 t schwere und 7 PS starke Clayton-Lokomotive, deren Barn Roof für den Einsatz in Abwasserrohren mit 4 Fuß (1,22 m) Durchmesser vorgesehen war. Sie hat eine elektronische Thyristor-Geschwindigkeitsregelung anstelle der konventionellen Vorwiderstände. Ladywash Mine Nr. 6 Diese 3 t schwere und 10 PS starke Greenwood-&-Batley-Lokomotive wurde von der Ladywash Mine bei Eyam in Derbyshire erworben. Weblink www.steeplegrange.co.uk Einzelnachweise
Steiner Academy Hereford

The Steiner Academy Hereford is a Steiner-Waldorf Academy school in Much Dewchurch near Hereford, Herefordshire, UK. It opened in September 2008 based at the earlier Hereford Waldorf School and is the first publicly funded Steiner-Waldorf school in the UK. The school takes students from the Kindergarten age of 3 to 16. Natural Environment Academy As a state-funded academy, its specialism is the natural environment. The academy is based on the earlier Hereford Waldorf School which existed for 25 years at the same site and comprised a Victorian school, medieval farmhouse and a more recent kindergarten extension, and eighteenth-century barns. Between 2008 and 2011 the school and site were redeveloped by John Renshaw Architects in a £6.5 million project using natural materials. This redevelopment provided a new hall, renewable energy, and buildings upgraded to reduce the environmental footprint, while organising the development of the site in sympathy with the natural environment. The school has outdoor classrooms and an area of productive gardens and other ecology areas dedicated to Landwork activities. Controversies In December 2009 Steiner Academy Hereford was bottom of the primary school league tables for England derived from SATS scores at Key Stage 2. Parents had opposed the testing and many children were absent for the dates. In contrast with assessment tests, in July 2013 Ofsted reported that 'Pupils are well prepared for more formal learning', 'Pupils achieve well throughout the school, reaching above the expected levels', they 'Go on to successfully study and achieve wide-ranging qualifications at GCE A level and beyond.', 'Older students develop strong independent working and thinking skills', 'Pupils’ artistic and practical achievements are impressive', 'Pupils have a strong sense of personal responsibility', and 'bullying is extremely rare'. In September 2012, the school was accused by the British Humanist Association of including pseudoscience in its curriculum. Clarence Harvey, an acting principal of the Steiner Academy Hereford, responded: 'It is not our aim to promote scientific orthodoxy, but rather to enable pupils to think and engage in independent verification of reality.'

Stepping Hill Hospital

Stepping Hill Hospital is in Stockport, Greater Manchester, England. It is managed by Stockport NHS Foundation Trust. History The facility was established as the Stepping Hill Poor Law Hospital in 1905. It became a military hospital during the First World War and joined the National Health Service (NHS) as the Stepping Hill Municipal Hospital in 1948. In a poisoning incident which began in 2011, three patients were found to have been unlawfully killed at the hospital. The United Kingdom's first prostate cancer operation using a hand-held robot was undertaken at the hospital in 2012. A new medical and surgical centre built at a cost of £20 million was officially opened by the Duchess of Gloucester in 2017. The hospital's older buildings are decaying and prone to rainwater leaks. In November 2023, one of the outpatient units had to be closed as unsafe. In March 2024, ceiling collapses on consecutive days required closure of the radiography and critical care units. Stockport NHS Foundation Trust wishes to replace the aging buildings but the hospital was not selected for the government's new hospitals programme. Notable births Claire Foy, the Golden Globe Award winning actress and star of Netflix series The Crown and the BBC miniseries Wolf Hall, was born at the hospital in 1984 and England under-21 footballer Tom Ince was born at the hospital in 1992.

Steven’s Eyot

Steven’s Eyot (auch Steven’s Ait) ist eine schmale Insel oder Werder in der Themse im Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, London, England oberhalb des Teddington Lock. Die Insel liegt 660 m flussabwärts von der Kingston Railway Bridge. Eine sehr kleine Insel wird auf einer Karten der Ordnance Survey der Insel zugerechnet und dieses Paar als Steven's Eyots bezeichnet. Geschichte Eine Ordnance Survey Karte aus dem Jahr 1875 zeigt, dass die Insel früher aus vier kleinen Inseln bestand. Auf einer Karte aus dem Jahr 1896 wird sie als Tathim’s Island bezeichnet. Der heutige Name kommt von einem Bootsbetreiber, der nahe der Insel in den heutigen Canbury Gardens lebte. Seit 1913 verwendet die Ordnance Survey Karte den heutigen Namen. Die Insel ist heute Teil einer landschaftlich und baulich besonders geschützten Conservation Area. Nutzung Der Schiffsverkehr wird an der Westseite der Insel vorbeigeführt, da an der Ostseite Anlegestellen sind. Die Insel ist der Sitz des Small Boat Club (SBC), der die Insel als Bootsanleger benutzt. Der SBC hat die Insel seit 1960 von der Thames Conservancy (der heutigen Environment Agency) gepachtet und alleine Clubmitglieder dürfen ihre Boote dauerhaft an der Insel festmachen. Die Verwaltung des Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames hat dem SBC 1984 erlaubt ein Pier auf der Ostseite der Themse anzulegen, die alleine vom Club genutzt werden darf.

Steven's Eyot

Steven's Eyot (or Steven's Ait) is a narrow ait (island) in the River Thames in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, London, England, on the non-tidal reach above Teddington Lock. Geography Steven's Eyot is 660 m (720 yd) below Kingston Railway Bridge and its southern tip is opposite the north of the boating area of Kingston Rowing Club shared by Tiffin School Boat Club on the east, Surrey, bank in Canbury Gardens. On the west, Middlesex, bank are the houses, meadows, apartments and three boathouses of Broom Park, Teddington. A very much smaller eyot to its north leads the Ordnance Survey to record the island as a pair, "Steven's Eyots". History The Ordnance Survey map of 1875 shows that the eyot comprised four islets and on the map of 1896 it is marked as Tathim's island. Stevens was the family name of a boatman who lived in a cottage that stood in what became Canbury Gardens. The present name was in use on the 1913 Ordnance Survey map. The island now forms part of a conservation area. Management River traffic is directed to the Middlesex side because of posts and mooring on the Surrey side (east here). The island is the base of the Small Boat Club (SBC), a not-for-profit motorboats club formed in 1953 run by the members for the members, using its carved out basin in the north and reinforced moorings on all sides. The SBC has leased the island from the Thames Conservancy (now the Environment Agency) since 1960, giving only Small Boat Club members the right to permanent mooring on the island. Kingston Council granted the SBC permission to erect and have exclusive rights a jetty on the Surrey bank towpath, operational since May 1984.
