Kinsley Greyhound Stadium

Kinsley Greyhound Stadium is a Greyhound Board of Great Britain regulated greyhound racing stadium situated on Wakefield Road in Kinsley, West Yorkshire, England. Racing Racing takes place four times a week with ARC meetings on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and also on Sunday evenings. The circumference of the track at Kinsley is 385 metres. The facilities include a restaurant with seating for 150 people. History The Kinsley greyhound track is situated between Leeds and Doncaster and was built and opened in 1939. The track was independent (also known as a flapping track) and served the local mining village. After the war the track could accommodate a maximum of 3,500 spectators. In 1985 John Curran and Keith Murrell took over the running of the track and invested into the stadium by improving the facilities. Distances were changed to 100, 260, 330, 460 & 630 metres, an 'Inside Sumner' hare was put in and a competition was introduced called the Kinsley Greyhound Derby. The race offered £20,000 eclipsing many of the top National Greyhound Racing Club events at the time. A computer totalisator was added and twelve bookmakers stood on course. There were 48 kennels on site and the Jubilee restaurant offered room for 160 covers. The track was beginning to show all the hallmarks of a regulated circuit and even had a thriving social club open all week. Despite the significant stature of the track it was not until 2000 that the decision was finally taken to apply for an NGRC licence which was granted. The new distances were 275, 450, 485 and 656 metres. Keith Murrell acted as Racing Manager until Craig Hunt was brought in to take up the role. The first meeting was on 15 January 2000 and racing was on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday evenings. Distances have since changed on two more occasions and a Swaffham hare has been introduced. In 2008, it was voted "Best National Greyhound Racing Club greyhound stadium in the north" by the British Greyhound Racing Board. In 2010, the track was rewarded by being allocated the 2010 Television Trophy, an event won by Midway Skipper and in 2011 the Gymcrack was introduced after it switched from Hall Green Stadium. The first winner was Nick Colton's Taranis Rex, a black and white dog that also broke the track record in the process. In 2018 Brinkleys Poet won the event and set a new track record time by beating the previous best time of 27.02 by Droopys Trapeze. In 2018, the stadium signed a deal with ARC to race a Tuesday and Friday matinée meeting and a Sunday afternoon meeting every week and a new five-year contract extension was agreed to run from January 2025.

Blackfriars Crown Court

Blackfriars Crown Court was a Crown Court centre which dealt with criminal cases at 1–15 Pocock Street, London SE1. It is located in Southwark a short distance from Blackfriars Road, from which it takes its name. History The site was used by HM Stationery Office from at least the 1920s. The current building was designed in the modernist style, constructed by The Pitcher Construction Company in red brick with stone dressings, and was opened as a new printworks for HM Stationery Office in the 1950s. The design involved a long rectangular frontage facing into Pocock Street. In the early 1990s, Lord Chancellor's Department decided to close Knightsbridge Crown Court in Hans Crescent and to establish a new crown court at the old printing works. The building was then refurbished, augmented with a central entrance in Post-Modernist style, and opened as a courthouse in 1993, accommodating nine courtrooms. In 2013, a judge at the court ruled that a woman should remove her niqāb while giving evidence. In 2015, Lorraine Barwell, a custody officer at the court, died after being assaulted while escorting a prisoner to a van. After cases had been relocated to Snaresbrook, Wood Green, Inner London and Kingston upon Thames Crown Courts, depending upon the prosecuting authority, the court closed on 20 December 2019. In December 2020, a planning application was submitted for a mixed use development, which would see the roof of the building transformed into an "urban forest". In 2021, the building was used to film legal scenes for the Netflix revival of Top Boy. See also Southwark Crown Court Inner London Crown Court References
Harrow Crown Court

Harrow Crown Court is a Crown Court venue which deals with criminal cases at Hailsham Drive, Harrow, London. History Until the 1980s, the principal criminal court for north London was the Middlesex Guildhall in Parliament Square. However, as the number of criminal cases in north London grew, it became necessary to commission a dedicated courthouse for northwest London. The site selected by the Lord Chancellor's Department had been occupied by a printing business established in the 19th century and known as "David Allan" which produced theatrical posters and ration books; the operation was acquired by HM Stationery Office in the 1920s but the factory closed in the 1980s. The building was designed by Kyle Stewart in the modern style, built in red brick with glass features at a cost of £17.6 million, and was completed in April 1991. The design involved three sections facing onto Headstone Drive. The central section, which accommodated the main entrance, was fully faced with glass, while the section to the left, which was slightly projected forward, and the section to the right, which featured a prominent Royal coat of arms, were faced with glass on the lower floors and with brick on the upper floors. Internally, the building was laid out to accommodate eight courtrooms. Notable cases heard at the court have included the trial and conviction, in 1998, of the ex-British National Party politician Nick Griffin for "publishing or distributing racially inflammatory written material", and the trial and conviction, in 2016, of the stalker, Alex Gray, for a seven-year campaign of harassment against the English singer-songwriter and actress, Lily Allen. In 2014, cases at the court were delayed after barristers staged a protest outside against cuts in government funding for Legal Aid to defendants. In August 2023, reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete was found in the building, leading to the immediate closure of the building for an indefinite period. References
Isleworth Crown Court

Isleworth Crown Court is a Crown Court centre which deals with criminal cases at 36 Ridgeway Road, Isleworth, London. History The site was originally occupied by three large manor houses. However, following the Second World War, the Ministry of Pensions and National Insurance acquired the site and demolished the houses with the intention of commissioning a hostel for paraplegics on the site. The main administration block was designed in the Neo-Georgian style, built in red brick and was officially opened as "Duchess of Gloucester House" by Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester in November 1949. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of seven bays facing onto Ridgeway Road. The central bay featured a stone panel engraved with the Royal cypher of King George VI. The building was fenestrated with tripartite casement windows on the ground floor and bi-partite casement windows on the first floor. In the late 1970s, the UK Government decided that such specialist support was no longer required, the residents were re-housed and the hostel was closed. Until the 1980s, the principal criminal court for north London was the Middlesex Guildhall in Parliament Square. However, as the number of criminal cases in north London grew, it became necessary to commission a dedicated courthouse for west London. The former hostel was then transferred to the ownership of the Lord Chancellor's Department and converted into a courthouse at a cost of £4.4 million. In December 2006, the department secured planning consent for an extension large enough to accommodate six extra courtrooms. The extension was built by Geoffrey Osborne and was opened in December 2009. Notable cases heard at the court have included the trial and conviction, in 2011, of 24 members a notorious English football hooligan firm known as the Chelsea Headhunters, who were accused of taking part in violence, which resulted in several people being injured, including a police officer whose jaw was broken. Cases also included the trial and acquittal, in 2013, of sisters, Elisabetta and Francesca Grillo, former personal assistants to Nigella Lawson and her ex-husband Charles Saatchi, who were accused of using their credit cards, specifically without special authorisation, on the account of Saatchi's private company.

National Shooting Centre

Das National Shooting Center (NSC) (früher Bisley Camp) ist eine Schießanlage in Bisley in der britischen Grafschaft Surrey. Die Anlage ist im Besitz des nationalen Schießverbandes NRA. Im Jahr 1890 wurden im Bisley Camp die nationalen Meisterschaften ausgetragen, nachdem die NRA ihren Sitz von Wimbledon, London, nach Bisley verlegt hatte. Während den Olympischen Spielen 1908 und 1948 in London wurden die Schießwettbewerbe und das Schießen im Modernen Fünfkampf auf der Anlage ausgetragen. Auch während den Commonwealth Games 2002 war die Anlage Wettkampfstätte der Schießwettbewerbe. Das Sportschießen sollte zunächst im National Shooting Centre in Bisley stattfinden. Das IOC drängte darauf, nicht zu viele Wettbewerbe außerhalb Londons auszutragen, so dass die Wahl auf die Royal Artillery Barracks fiel. Einzelnachweise

Wood Green Crown Court

Wood Green Crown Court is a Crown Court venue which deals with criminal cases on Lordship Lane, Wood Green, London, England. History The first building on the site was a mansion known as Lordship Lodge which was commissioned a shipbuilder, Joseph Fletcher, in the first half of the 19th century. After Fletcher died in 1852, the house was acquired by the Royal Masonic School for Boys which moved into the building in 1857. However, in the early 1860s, the school governors decided to demolish it and to commission a more substantial building for the site. The new building was designed by Edwin Pearce and J. B. Wilson and Son in the Gothic Revival style, built in stone and completed in 1865. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of nine bays facing onto Lordship Lane, with end bays projected forward as towers. The central bay, which was also slightly projected forward, featured oriel windows on the ground floor and the first floor, a four-part arched window with tracery on the second floor and a gable and a mansard roof above. The wings were fenestrated with tri-partite cusped mullioned and transomed windows on the ground floor, bi-partite mullioned windows on the first floor and lancet windows on the second floor, while the towers were fenestrated with oriel windows on the first floor and bi-partite mullioned windows on the second floor. In the late 19th century, the school governors decided to move to new premises on a site to the north of The Avenue in Bushey. The Lordship Lane building was sold to the Home and Colonial School Society, which opened a training college for schoolmistresses there in 1904, and then to the Tottenham District Gas Company, which renamed it Woodall House after its chairman, Sir Colbert Woodall, in 1930. The Tottenham District Gas Company evolved to become Eastern Gas from whom Haringey London Borough Council acquired the site in 1974. The site was then redeveloped with the building being converted into a Crown Court at a cost of £15.3 million in 1989, and the rest of the site sold for housing. It was badly damaged in a fire later in 1989 and remodelled to create additional courtrooms in 1992. In 2012, in a new initiative for the UK, 15 gang members were brought before the court, presented with evidence of the damage caused by gang violence and persuaded to change their behaviour. Then, in 2013, a juror in a sexual case being heard at Wood Green was jailed for two months after being found guilty of contempt of court for misusing the internet during a trial there, and, in 2015, Jermaine Baker was shot dead by police while trying to free a prisoner, Izzet Eren, who was on his way to the court in a prison van. Notable cases include the trial and conviction of the scaffolder, Arthur Collins, in November 2017, on five counts of grievous bodily harm and nine of actual bodily harm; Collins was a former boyfriend of the television presenter, Ferne McCann.

Estación de Paddington

Paddington​ es una estación ferroviaria situada en el oeste de Londres, en el distrito homónimo, dentro del municipio de Ciudad de Westminster, Inglaterra, Reino Unido. Es la séptima estación por pasajeros de la ciudad londinense. Es una estación histórica, terminal de la compañía Great Western Railway y sus sucesoras desde 1838. La mayor parte de la actual estación data de 1854, y desde 1863 disponía de una de las primeras estaciones de metro del mundo. Desde Paddington Great Western Railway y Chiltern Railways operan trenes con destino al oeste de Inglaterra y el sur de Gales. Además dispone del servicio Heathrow Express, una lanzadera que une la estación con el aeropuerto de Heathrow. Historia A diferencia de la mayor parte de las estaciones de Londres, la historia de Paddingon es muy sencilla, ya que a pesar de ser una de las estaciones más antiguas apenas ha sufrido cambios. Paddington fue construida como terminal de la compañía Great Western Railway en Londres. Antes de la construcción definitiva se realizó una estación provisional en Bishop's Bridge Road, inaugurada en 1838.​ En 1854 se inauguró la estación definitiva,​ y fue ampliada entre 1906 y 1915. Desde entonces sigue ën funcionamiento hasta la actualidad sin grandes cambios, tan sólo pequeñas reformas. La estación cuenta con 14 vías numeradas de izquierda a derecha vistas desde el hall principal. Las 8 primeras pertenecen a la estación original, de la 9 a la 12 a la ampliación y las 13 y 14 pertenecen a la línea original del metro de Londres y son sólo accesibles a través del andén 12. Servicios La principal compañía en la estación es Great Western, que utiliza líneas de alta frecuencia. La relación más usada con mucha diferencia es Reading,​ a medio camino entre Londres y Oxford. Muchos de los servicios prestados por esta compañía son de larga distancia, uniendo Londres con las estaciones de Oxford en el sudeste de Inglaterra; Bath, Bristol, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Worcester y Hereford en el oeste de Inglaterra; Taunton, Exeter, Torquay, Plymouth y Penzance en el suroeste de Inglaterra; y Newport, Cardiff, Bridgend y Swansea en el sur de Gales. Chiltern Railways realiza servicios principalmente suburbanos en los días laborables desde la estación. Paddington es el origen de la lanzadera que une el centro de Londres con el aeropuerto de Heathrow, denominada Heathrow Express, que funciona sin paradas con un tren cada 15 minutos. Existio un segundo servicio dependiente del anterior, Heathrow Connect, inaugurado en 2005 que es muy similar pero incluye paradas intermedias que fue absorbido por TfL rail en 2018.​​ Heatrhow Express tiene reservadas en exclusiva las vías 6 y 7 de la estación.
