Lincoln St Marks railway station

Lincoln St. Marks was a railway station on the Nottingham to Lincoln Line that served Lincoln in Lincolnshire, England. History St. Mark's railway station, the first in Lincoln, was opened by the Midland Railway in 1846. It was originally a terminus; the line was extended through the station only a few years after it opened, to connect with the Great Northern Railway just to the east of that company's Lincoln Central station. The Durham Ox Junction was also crossed by a road, leading to many delays. The junction was crossed by Pelham Bridge in the mid-1950s. Until its closure, St. Marks was the main line station, with through services from Cleethorpes to London King's Cross. Prior to closure of the Lincoln-to-Grantham line during the Beeching Axe, London services had used Lincoln Central. To avoid unnecessarily operating two stations, St Marks closed in 1985; services were diverted to the nearby Lincoln Central. The construction of a new 80-metre length of track to the west allowed services from Newark Castle to reach Lincoln Central. The site today The grand ionic portico, that was once the entrance, has been preserved; as of January 2007, it was home to Lakeland as part of the commercial development of the site. A mock signalbox has also been erected in the car park, on which has been affixed an original sign from the station. The remainder of the former station site is now St. Marks Shopping Centre. The redevelopment, in keeping with the preserved buildings, won an Ian Allan Heritage Award in 2009, which is commemorated by a plaque. Stationmasters From 1934 the position of station master was merged with that of the LNER station and E.O. Wright assumed responsibility.

ВЕС Лінкс

ВЕС Лінкс (англ. Lincs Wind Farm) — британська офшорна вітроелектростанція в Північному морі біля узбережжя Англії. Місце для розміщення ВЕС обрали за 8 км від Скгнесс (Лінкольншир), дещо далі в море від станції Лінн/Іннер-Даусінг, спорудженої тією ж компанією Centrica (кілька турбін зі складу Лінкс навіть розмістили на ліцензійних ділянках цих ВЕС). Тут у 2012 році спеціалізоване судно MPI Resolution провело встановлення фундаментів майбутніх вітроагрегатів. Допоміжні бурові роботи при цьому виконувала самопідіймальна установка JB-114. Після успішного виконання фундаментних робіт MPI Resolution законтрактували для монтажу власне вітрових агрегатів, який завершився у червні 2013-го. Встановлення офшорної трансформаторної станції здійснив плавучий кран Rambiz. Для видачі продукції від неї до наземної підстанції у Волпол (Норфолк) проклали два головні експортні кабелі, що працюють під напругою 132 кВ. Офшорна частина траси має довжину біля 40 км, причому останні 8 км проходять через мілководний район, для подолання якого знадобилась спеціальна підготовка кабелеукладальної баржі Nautilus Maxi. Також особливістю проекту стали будівельні роботи при проходженні експортними кабелями прибережної зони. Тут знаходяться протинагонна дамба та прибережний солончак, який підлягає особливому захисту з екологічних міркувань. Під ними проклали дві труби для пропуску кабелів довжиною по 1 км, використавши, зокрема, техніку направленого буріння. Станція займає площу 35 км2 в районі з глибинами моря від 10 до 15 метрів. На баштах висотою 100 метрів змонтували 75 вітрових турбін Siemens SWT-3.6-120 одиничною потужністю 3,6 МВт та діаметром ротора 120 метрів. Вартість проекту склала 725 млн фунтів стерлінгів. Станом на 2017 рік власниками станції були британська компанія Green Investment Bank (75 %) та данська DONG. Примітки
Linden Hall, Northumberland

Linden Hall is a former mansion house in the civil parish of Longhorsley, Northumberland, England which is now operated as a hotel and country club. This includes an 18-hole golf course built by English golf course architect, Jonathan Gaunt, which opened in 1997. The Hall has Grade II listed building status. In about 1806, Charles William Bigge, a successful Newcastle banker, bought an estate of almost 3,000 acres (1,200 ha) at Longhorsley, which had been owned by the family of the Earl of Carlisle since the 12th century. In 1813, he built a mansion house on the estate for his own occupation. He retained his friend, Sir Charles Monck, an amateur architect with a keen interest in the Greek Revival style, to design the new house with the assistance of the then newly qualified architect John Dobson. He named the new house after an adjacent stream. Financial problems arising from the failure of the Northumberland and Durham District Bank in 1857 caused his descendants to sell the estate and Hall, which were sold in 1861 to H M Ames for £72500. Thereafter the house provided a home for the Liddell, Ames and Adamson families until 1963. In 1978, it was sold to a company which converted it into a hotel. References Historic England.

Lindley Hall, London

Lindley Hall in Elverton Street, Westminster, London is the older of the two Royal Horticultural Halls and is owned by RHS Enterprises Limited, which is part of the charity Royal Horticultural Society in central London. The other is Lawrence Hall, which is no longer owned by the RHS; both are close to Vincent Square. Although built as an exhibition hall, Lindley Hall is increasingly used for product launches, conferences, fashion shows, banquets, weddings and other events. History It was the monarch King Edward VII who had mooted the idea of the Royal Horticultural Society having a purpose-built exhibition hall for its shows. Lindley Hall was designed by Edwin J Stebbs and was built in 1904 of red brick with stone dressings and banding, with Arts and Crafts features and Renaissance details. His focus on achieving as much natural light as possible remains a key part of the character of the building, though complete blackout is also possible. It is noted for its classic Edwardian architecture. On 22 July 1904, together with the Society's patron Queen Alexandra, King Edward VII officially declared the venue open. The hall hosted the All England Open Badminton Championships from 1910 to 1939. It was registered as a Grade II listed building in 1970. It is named after the English botanist John Lindley. The Lindley Library, based on his collection, is also managed by the RHS on the same site. Interior Events Events held at the hall include: 1946 World Snooker Championship Marks & Spencer Womenswear Launch (2003) International Peace Conference (2005) Lancôme Colour Design Awards (2006) Stella McCartney Spring/Summer Collection Fashion Show (2009) Tom Ford Spring/Summer 2015 show for London Fashion Week (2014) Moschino Men's Spring/Summer 2015 Collection Fashion Show (2014) and Men's Autumn/Winter 2015 Collection Fashion Show (2015) Katie Piper fundraising dinner (2014) for the Katie Piper Foundation.

Lindley Wood Reservoir

Lindley Wood Reservoir is located in the Washburn Valley north of Otley in Yorkshire, England. History The reservoir was built by navvies between 1869 and 1876. In about 1872 Elizabeth Garnett was moved by the living conditions of the workers and their families who were camped here building this reservoir. She opened a Sunday School at the site and within a year she resolved to move to the camp. She was joined in her work by the Reverend Lewis Moule Evans and together they founded was known as the "Navvies Mission". The capacity is about 750,000,000 imperial gallons (3.4×109 L; 900,000,000 US gal). It was the first of a chain of four reservoirs built along the River Washburn. While the three higher reservoirs provide water to the city of Leeds, Lindley Wood provides compensation flows to the Washburn. In 2002/03, the dam crest was raised 9.8 feet (3 m) as the original height would have been overtopped during the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). This was part of a £6.5 million scheme to make Swinsty, Fewston and Lindley Wood reservoirs meet improved flood standards. The reservoir keeper's house at the dam was originally planned to be demolished during this work, but was built into the new, higher crest as bats were found to be living there. During 2019/20, the spillway was relined, and the side walls were raised in a £5 million project to ensure the embankment dam was protected from erosion. References
Lindrick Golf Club

Lindrick Golf Club is a golf club in South Yorkshire, England; it is near Worksop. The club has an 18-hole championship golf course that has hosted many professional and elite amateur tournaments, including the 1957 Ryder Cup, the British Masters in 1966 and 1977, the Women's British Open in 1977 and 1988, and the 1960 Curtis Cup. The course is a site of special scientific interest (SSSI). The SSSI covers 22 hectares (54 acres) and was designated for its biological interest. The site was notified in 1987. History Sheffield and District Golf Club was founded in 1891. The club was always known as Lindrick Golf Club, but did not officially acknowledge this name until 1934. The course on Lindrick Common was originally nine holes, designed by Buff Wilson and Old Tom Morris, and was extended to 18 holes in 1894. Major changes to the course layout were made in 1932, to avoid two holes being played over the A57. Tom Dunn, William Herbert Fowler, Harry Colt, Willie Park Jr., Alister MacKenzie, Fred Hawtree, Donald Steel, Cameron Sinclair and Ken Moodie are among the architects to have been consulted and worked on the course through the years. Holes 1–11 and Hole 18 are situated on the south side of the A57, with Holes 12–17 being on the north side. The course has two tunnels providing safe crossing of the highway. The closing 18th hole features in The 500 World's Greatest Golf Holes and is also listed as one of Peter Alliss' favourite 18 holes of all time, and the course itself has regularly featured in the various top 100 course ratings. Tournaments hosted The 1957 Ryder Cup was played at Lindrick, resulting in the only post-war victory for Great Britain & Ireland, captained by Dai Rees. The Curtis Cup was played on the course in 1960, and the Women's British Open has been held at the course on two occasions – in 1977 and 1988. Other championships to be held at Lindrick include the English Women's Amateur Championship in 2017, the English Amateur in 2022 and the Girls and Boys Home Internationals in 2023. Lindrick also hosted the British Masters in 1966 and 1977, and is a Regional Qualifying venue for The Open Championship.

Link Centre

The Link Centre is a leisure centre in Swindon, England. The building, owned by Swindon Borough Council and operated by Greenwich Leisure under the brand "Better", is best known for its national-sized ice rink which houses a National Ice Hockey League team, the Swindon Wildcats. Location The building is part of the West Swindon district centre, in Westlea, about 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Swindon town centre. The complex includes a large Asda supermarket as well as many smaller shops History The centre was commissioned by Thamesdown Borough Council (later renamed Swindon Borough Council) in 1970 to provide leisure and social facilities for an estimated West Swindon population of 50,000. Design was undertaken in-house under chief architect K P Sherry, and work began on the site in 1983. The modern, multi-axial design incorporating an ice rink, swimming pool and other facilities opened in April 1985, received an estimated 1 million visitors in its first year of operation and "won awards and favourable mentions in architectural circles". The complex, designed to provide facilities for more than 20 sports and leisure activities, was described in architectural and sports journals as the most comprehensive development of its kind in Britain. The £2million ice rink was praised on completion but local residents were unhappy that the swimming pool, at only 25 metres long, was not of competition standard. In 2003, the centre was closed temporarily following the finding of the legionella bacteria in the water cooling system. This bacteria, found during a routine test, is the cause of Legionnaires' disease. The centre re-opened following a full sterilisation of the water supply. In 2006, the metal-exterior centre was closed for a short time after a major electrical fault was caused by an internal flood. Facilities Ice rink The international-sized (56mx26m) ice pad is recognised as a "centre of excellence" for both figure skating and ice hockey. It is an approved national centre for squad training for British Ice Skating and Ice Hockey UK, and a NISA approved regional test centre. 25m deck-level heated swimming pool Gym with over 100 stations and Astroturf area Dedicated spin studio Two fitness class studios 1,100 square metre trampoline park (Better Extreme) Squash courts Library Ice hockey teams A number of ice hockey teams play at the Link Centre, including: Swindon Wildcats Swindon Wildcats 2 Swindon Top Cats Swindon Steelhawks References External links Official website The Link Centre at SwindonWeb.com
Links Hotel, West Runton

The Links Hotel is a 3-star hotel built in the Victorian era, located in the English seaside village of West Runton in the county of Norfolk, United Kingdom. Location The Links is situated within 40 acres (16 ha) of coastal parkland and is surrounded by National Trust protected land and areas of outstanding beauty. It is a short distance south of the centre of the village of West Runton and its railway station. The nearest airport is in Norwich and is 21.1 miles (34.0 km) south of West Runton. History The village became part of the rail network of Norfolk in 1892 when a railway station was built. Seeing the potential this event gave to the village, a local land owner called James Renwick Abbs decided to build a hotel in the village. The site he chose was only 200 yards from the new station. It opened for business in 1899 and then had 34 bedrooms. Golf course Abbs also contacted John Henry Taylor the professional golfer. Taylor was one of the pioneers of the modern game of golf. He was also a significant golf course architect and Abbs asked Taylor to design a new golf course for his guests to enjoy, on the land adjacent to the new hotel. The nine-hole golf course opened in 1903. In 1906 Taylor extends course to 18 holes which circles around nearby Incleborough Hill. Finally in 1912 Abbs purchased a clubhouse pavilion from Sheringham Golf Club and this was erected next to the hotel. World War II After the start of World War II in 1939 the hotel and golf course were commandeered by the British Army. Troops were billeted in the hotel and the golf course was used for final troop training and as a firing range. After the war the golf course was reinstated and Bobby Locke participated in the opening game. References

Lion Island (Old Windsor)

Lion Island ist eine unbewohnte Insel in der Themse nahe Old Windsor, Berkshire. Die Insel ist schmal und bewaldet und durch einen schmalen Flussarm vom linken Ufer der Themse getrennt. Die Insel liegt direkt oberhalb des Old Windsor Wehrs, mit dem Themsewasser am gegenüberliegenden Ufer in den Zulauf (New Cut) zur Old Windsor Lock geleitet wird. Mit dem New Cut und der Schleuse an seinem unteren Ende wird die Schifffahrt auf der Themse erleichtert und verkürzt, indem eine große Flussschleife ausgelassen wird. Vor dem Stau durch das Wehr befanden sich dort mehrere Inseln, von denen nur Lion Iland übrig blieb. Siehe auch Liste der Inseln in der Themse Einzelnachweise
