Rack Marsh

Rack Marsh is a 4-hectare (9.9-acre) nature reserve in Bagnor, on the north-western outskirts of Newbury in Berkshire. It is managed by the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust. It is part of Kennet and Lambourn Floodplain, which is a Biological Site of Special Scientific Interest, and a Nature Conservation Review site. It is also part of the Kennet and Lambourn Floodplain Special Area of Conservation. Geography and site Rack Marsh is an old wet meadow. A thick layer of peat has developed on top of the deposits of alluvium and gravel which the river has spread over the chalk. The river Lambourn flows through the meadow. History There is evidence of prehistoric activity in the area: a prehistoric canoe was discovered in the layer of peat by some labourers who were digging a ditch to form a boundary of a garden. In 1996 the discovery of the rare Desmoulin's whorl snail on the reserve meant that the Newbury bypass was almost stopped, but the high court ruled in the developers' favour. The decision to continue with the construction of the road meant that the nature reserve was cut in size, losing half its area. Fauna The site has the following fauna: Invertebrates Desmoulin's whorl snail Birds Common chiffchaff Grey heron Common kingfisher Eurasian reed warbler Sedge warbler Common whitethroat Barn owl Flora The site has the following flora: Plants Filipendula ulmaria Trifolium pratense Lychnis flos-cuculi Caltha palustris Scutellaria galericulata Geum rivale Scrophularia auriculata Myosotis scorpioides Mentha aquatica Angelica sylvestris Triglochin palustris Dactylorhiza praetermissa Marsh valerian References

The larger lake features an island planted with mature trees. The park also features a set of mature specimen and ornamental trees. History The park has been in existence from at least 1843, when James Bedborough bought the land in the area and used it to build twenty-nine terraced houses and large villas that looked out over the park. It is believed that Sir Joseph Paxton laid out the original park grounds. The park when opened was called Upton Park. In 1949, the park was sold to Slough Borough Council. In 1952 the council changed its name from Upton Park Pleasure Grounds to Herschel Park, after the astronomer Sir William Herschel. In 1962–63, Slough Corporation purchased a further 10 acres from Eton College, which by 1982 had become part of Herschel Park. In 2000, the water in the lakes suddenly disappeared, and a group was set up called Friends of Herschel Park, who together with Slough Borough Council started to apply for funds to return the park to its original Victorian design. In January 2009 the park was granted £2.7 million of council and lottery funding by the Heritage Lottery Fund. In 2011 work was finished; the lakes were refilled with water, and the original paths were restored. In 2013, the site was declared as a local nature reserve by Slough Borough Council.

Farringdon Road drill hall

The Farringdon Road drill hall is a former military installation at 57A Farringdon Road in Finsbury, London. History The hall was designed by Alfred J. Hopkins as the headquarters for the 2nd City of London Rifle Volunteer Corps and built between 1887 and 1888. That unit became the 6th (City of London) Battalion The London Regiment (City of London Rifles) in 1908. The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to the Western Front. On the night of 8 September 1915, Zeppelin L13 commanded by Kapitänleutnant Heinrich Mathy attacked London, and two of his bombs hit Messrs Frank Stadelman's warehouse at 59–61 Farringdon Road. Falling masonry from the building did considerable damage to the drill hall behind. When the London Regiment was broken up and the battalion moved out to Sutton in its new role as an anti-aircraft unit in the mid 1930s, the hall fell vacant. In 1947 the drill hall became the home of 167 (City of London) Field Ambulance and 168 (City of London) Field Ambulance Royal Army Medical Corps (TA). The hall had fallen vacant again by 1967 when the field ambulances went through a re-organisation and a new unit (217 (London) General Hospital) was formed at the Braganza Street drill hall in Walworth. Much of the site has since been converted to offices and is now used, among others, by Rufus Leonard, a firm of marketing consultants. References Sources Godfrey, Captain E.
