Lister Hospital, Chelsea

The Lister Hospital in Chelsea is a private hospital in Chelsea Bridge Road, London. It is owned by the Hospital Corporation of America, the largest private operator of health care facilities in the world, and so is not part of the National Health Service. History Opened in 1985, the hospital occupies the former premises of the Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine; both were named in honour of Joseph Lister, 1st Baron Lister, a British surgeon considered to be the pioneer of aseptic surgery. It has 57 beds in inpatient wards on three floors and a six-bedded Critical Care Unit and specialises in orthopaedics, gynaecology, dermatology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology and plastic surgery, and also runs a fertility clinic. It generates revenue per bed of circa £1 million a year. Services Medical cannabis is available at the hospital in a clinic operated by Mamedica. References External links Official website CQC report
Lister Hospital, Stevenage

The Lister Hospital is an NHS hospital based on the outskirts of Stevenage in Hertfordshire. It is operated by the East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust along with the New QEII Hospital in Welwyn Garden City. History The Lister Hospital evolved from the workhouse in Hitchin. The Hitchin Union Workhouse had been built in 1836 on Oughtonhead Way in Hitchin. The workhouse system was brought to an end in 1930. Workhouses had provided a degree of healthcare for the poor alongside their other functions, and healthcare uses often became the main function of the former workhouse premises after 1930, including at Hitchin. The old Hitchin workhouse became the Hitchin Public Assistance Institution, run by Hertfordshire County Council. It was renamed the Lister Hospital in 1943, after Joseph Lister (1827—1912), a pioneer of aseptic surgery, who had been to school in Hitchin. The hospital was taken over by the NHS on its creation in 1948. The hospital relocated from Hitchin to its current site on the northern edge of Stevenage in 1972. The new premises were opened by Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. With an investment of around £150 million, the Lister hospital was transformed in October 2014. Operations The Lister Hospital currently has 730 beds and is a general hospital, which includes accident and emergency, urology and renal dialysis units.

Literary and Philosophical Society of Newcastle upon Tyne

The Literary and Philosophical Society of Newcastle upon Tyne (or the Lit & Phil as it is popularly known) is a historical library in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. It is the largest independent library outside London. The library is still available for both lending (to members) and as a free reference library. The society is a registered charity. Founding Founded in 1793 as a "conversation club" by the Reverend William Turner and others – more than fifty years before the London Library – the annual subscription was originally one guinea. The Lit & Phil library contained works in French, Spanish, German and Latin; its contacts were international, and its members debated a wide range of issues, but religion and politics were prohibited. Women were first admitted to the library in 1804. In February 2011, actor and comedian Alexander Armstrong became President of the Lit & Phil. He launched their funding appeal at a special gala event. At the start of 2012, membership of the Library reached 2,000, the highest number since 1952. History During the 19th and 20th centuries, the Lit & Phil was host to a long list of the intelligentsia of the era. Engineer and inventor George Stephenson showed his miner's lamp there, and in 1879, when Joseph Swan demonstrated his electric light bulbs, the Lit & Phil building became the first public building to be so illuminated. The Society received in 1800 the country's first specimens of the wombat and the duck-billed platypus from John Hunter, Governor of New South Wales and honorary member of the Lit & Phil. Between 1822 and 1825, a new building was created for the Society on Westgate Road, designed by John Green. The building is still in use today, with many original features including iron-work second-floor galleries.

Bolton Old Hall

Bolton Old Hall is a historic building in Bolton-on-Swale, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The building was originally constructed as a three-storey peel tower, perhaps in the 1380s, by Richard Scrope, 1st Baron Scrope of Bolton. A two-storey south wing was added, probably in the 16th century, and then in 1680 the whole building was altered, the tower reduced to two storeys, and the windows replaced. It became the dower house for Kiplin Hall. In 1963, it was sold to the Stevenson family, who extended the building to provide five bedrooms, and planted exotic trees in the grounds. In 2021, it was put up for sale for £1.25 million. The house has been Grade II* listed since 1969. A local tradition states that a tunnel runs from the house to the graveyard of St Mary's Church, Bolton-on-Swale. The house is built of roughcast stone with quoins, and a pantile roof with stone coping and finials. The tower has been reduced to two storeys and has one bay, and recessed to the right is a later two-storey four-bay wing. In the ground floor of the tower is a sash window, over it is a blocked mullioned window, and above in the battlement are two arrowslits. On the front of the wing is a porch with panelled Tuscan pilasters, a frieze and a swan-neck pediment containing a chamfered panel carved with a fist holding a laurel wreath. The windows are sashes, in the ground floor with chamfered surrounds, and in the upper floor in architraves with keystones. The ground floor of the tower has plasterwork dating from 1680, and one of the first floor rooms also has a 17th-century plaster ceiling.

Lenham Cross

The Lenham Cross is a chalk cross carved into the hillside to the north of Lenham in Kent, in England. The Latin cross is 200 ft (61 m) high with arms 70 ft (21 m) wide. It was designed by Mr C H Groom, the headmaster of the village school, as a First World War memorial. It was created in a field on the south-facing slopes of the North Downs, close to the Pilgrim's Way, by volunteers from the village, and unveiled in September 1922 (1922-09) by Major General Sir Arthur Lynden-Bell, who had served as an officer with the Buffs (East Kent Regiment) in the Second Boer War and on the general staff in the First World War. The cross was filled in during the Second World War to prevent it being used as a navigation aid by the German Luftwaffe. It became a Grade II listed building in 2017. A dedicatory stone of rough-hewn granite was sited in an enclosure with steps and railings at the south end of the cross, beside the Pilgrim's Way, with a smooth face inscribed by the names of 42 men of the parish who were killed during the First World War. A smaller stone listing 14 more names was added after the Second World War. The memorial stone was moved in 1960 to stand beside St Mary's Church, Lenham, about 1 km (0.62 mi) south west of its original location. A bench and plaque were added to the original memorial enclosure in 1977, donated by the Ashford branch of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers Association.

Chrisp Street Market Clock Tower

Chrisp Street Market Clock Tower is a Grade II listed landmark located in Market Square, Chrisp Street, Poplar. It was designed by the architect Frederick Gibberd as part of the Lansbury Estate for the Festival of Britain, 1951. The clock tower is an example of early post-war architecture, and an aesthetic that became known as the "Festival Style". History The clock tower was designed in 1949 by Frederick Gibberd as part of his plans for Chrisp Street Market, a pedestrianised shopping area that would form the commercial centre of the new Lansbury Estate. The estate was a landmark project in post-war urban renewal, and formed part of the Live Architecture Exhibition at the Festival of Britain, 1951. However budgetary cuts and time constraints in the run-up to the festival meant that construction on the Lansbury Estate was behind schedule, and the clock tower was built in 1952.

Haringey Civic Centre

Haringey Civic Centre is a municipal building in High Road, Wood Green, London. The town hall, which is the headquarters of Haringey London Borough Council, is a Grade II listed building. History The building was commissioned by the Municipal Borough of Wood Green to replace the ageing Wood Green Town Hall in High Road. After the old town hall had become inadequate for the council's needs, civic leaders decided to build a new town hall: the site selected for the new building, which was further south on High Road, had previously been occupied by some 19th residential properties known as the Fishmongers' and Poulterers' Almshouses. Construction work on the building, which was undertaken by Gee, Walker & Slater Ltd, started in 1956. The new building was designed by Sir John Brown, A E Henson and Partners and was officially opened by the local member of parliament, Joyce Butler, as Wood Green Civic Centre on 15 March 1958. The design, which was influenced by Aarhus City Hall and Søllerød Town Hall, both in Denmark, envisaged a public area in the southern part of the building and workspace for council officers and their departments in the northern part of the building. It involved an asymmetrical main frontage facing onto High Road; the southern section featured a large projecting glass frontage with a doorway on the ground floor while the northern section of the frontage comprised nine bays with windows on each of the ground, first and second floors. Internally, the principal rooms were the council chamber behind the glass frontage on the first floor and the mayor's parlour in the west wing of the building. The council chamber was designed with an unusual suspended ceiling which sloped down to the back of dais on which the mayor sat. An underground nuclear fall-out shelter was established in the basement but a public hall, which had been intended for the site, was never built. The building continued to be the local seat of government, as Haringey Civic Centre, when the enlarged London Borough of Haringey was formed in 1965. A Citizens Advice Bureau was established in the building in 1975; although now known as Citizens Advice Haringey, it continues to operate from the centre. Many of the council officers and their departments moved to River Park House further south on High Road in 2005. In 2017 the civic centre, much of which is now unused, was the subject of a consultation on regeneration options including possible replacement, but after English Heritage listed the building in July 2018, the regeneration options became more restricted. English Heritage praised its "Scandinavian influence, transparency and modernity." References
Little Aston Hall

O Little Aston Hall é um palácio rural situado em Little Aston, no Staffordshire, Inglaterra. É um listed building classificado com o Grau II. História Little Aston Hall foi construído cerca de 1730 por Richard Scott, do vizinho Great Barr Hall, num estilo Georgiano, com um parque e lago. No início do século XIX, o palácio foi reestilizado pelo arquitecto James Wyatt para William Tennant. Em 1857, voltou a sofrer obras, sendo ampliado e melhorado por um suposto custo de 35 000 libras. O responsável por esta última intervenção foi Edward Swynfen Parker Jervis, filho de Edward Jervis Jervis, 2º Visconde St Vincent]], e sobrinho-bisneto do Almirante John Jervis, 1.º Conde de St Vincent, o herói naval da Batalha do Cabo de São Vicente em 1797. A partir do início do século XX, o palácio teve vários donos e, em 1925, a propriedade de mais de 6,1 km² (1500 acres) foi repartida quando o edifício foi vendido a Harry Scribbans com apenas 0,48 km² (118 acres) de terreno — a terra restante foi fragmentada e vendida em leilão. Desocupado a partir de 1950, o palácio tornou-se, em 1954, sede regional da Esso nas Midlands. A partir de 1968, serviu como centro residencial da GKN. Em 1984, o local foi reconstruído e o edifício foi convertido em sete apartamentos residenciais de qualidade superior; foram construídos sete novos blocos nos jardins com vista para o lago, cada um deles com seis apartamentos, um outro conjunto de apartamentos conhecido como Lady Aston Park, seguido duma Casa de Cuidados Residencial BUPA e de um Hospital privado BUPA.

Little Cheyne Court Wind Farm

The Little Cheyne Court Wind Farm is located 7 kilometres (4.3 miles) west of Lydd on Romney Marsh. It was built by npower renewables and cost around £50 million. The 26 wind turbines, each 115 metres (377 ft) high, are distributed over an area of 4 km2 (1.5 sq mi) with peak generation of 59.8 MW. Opposition to the windfarm The site has proved controversial and has been opposed by parish, district and county councils, the local MP and other groups as detrimental to the visual appearance of the Marsh and a threat to wildlife. However, they were overruled by Central Government, and the turbines were erected in the period June - October 2008. The DTI indicated that a significant number of local people submitted comments in favour of the project, whilst a consistent 70% to 80% of the UK public support wind farms. Some local campaigners still oppose the development, attracting accusations of "rural nimbyism" and being under the "sinister" influence of the nuclear lobby. Conversely, campaigners for the siting attract accusations of "professional" self-interest and of hiding behind the truism that obviously renewable energy is beneficial. The RSPB, CPRE Kent and English Nature all objected to the use of this particular site as a wind farm on environmental grounds. The proximity of the site to the internationally important RSPB reserve and the land's status as an SSSI were particularly controversial. References
How Stean Gorge

How Stean Gorge is a limestone gorge in Nidderdale in North Yorkshire, England. It forms a unit of the Upper Nidderdale Site of Special Scientific Interest. The gorge lies between the villages of Stean and Lofthouse and extends for about a kilometre along the course of How Stean Beck, a tributary of the River Nidd. The limestone here is an inlier in the millstone grit, which prevails on the surface in Nidderdale. It is a subaerial gorge, some 15 to 20 metres deep, to which a series of vadose caves drain, a reversal of the usual pattern of underwater capture in a karst landscape. One of the side caves, Tom Taylor's Cave, is said to be named after a local highwayman who sought refuge there. It leads from the north side of the gorge and emerges in a nearby field. The gorge and Tom Taylor's Cave have been operated as a tourist attraction since the 19th century. The attraction now offers gorge walks and access to the cave, and also canyoning and a via ferrata.

Little Common F.C.

Little Common Football Club is a football club based in the Little Common area of Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex, England. They are currently members of the Southern Combination Premier Division and play at the Little Common Recreation Ground. History The club was established by Ken Cherry in 1966 as a youth club under the name Albion United, initially fielding under-14 and under-16 teams. They later started an adult team, which entered the Hastings League. In 1970 the club joined Division Three of the East Sussex League, which they won at the first attempt, earning promotion to Division Two. They won Division Two the following season, resulting in promotion to Division One. A third successive league title in 1972–73 saw the club win Division One and earn promotion to the Premier Division. In 1976–77 Albion United were Premier Division champions, remaining unbeaten through the entire league season. The club then moved up to Division Two of the Sussex County League. They finished bottom of Division Two in 1980–81 and 1981–82, but were not relegated. In 1986 the club were renamed Little Common Albion. After finishing bottom of Division Two in 1993–94, they were relegated to Division Three. The following season saw them finish second-from-bottom of Division Three, after which they dropped back into the East Sussex League. In 2002 the club dropped Albion from their name. After winning the East Sussex League Premier Division in 2004–05, Little Common were promoted back to Division Three of the Sussex County League. They were Division Three runners-up in 2008–09, earning promotion to Division Two. In 2015 the league was renamed the Southern Combination, with Division Two becoming Division One. In 2016–17 the club were Division One runners-up, but were unable to take promotion as their ground did not meet the required criteria. However, after winning the division the following season, they were promoted to the Premier Division after moving to Eastbourne United's Oval ground. Ground After playing at grounds with no facilities, in 1974 the club purchased two prefabricated buildings that had been built in Fulham after World War II for £500 and moved them to their Little Common Recreation Ground to create a clubhouse and changing rooms. A new pavilion was opened in November 2002. In 2018 the club relocated to Eastbourne United's Oval ground in order to secure promotion. However, after fully enclosing the ground and installing two new stands, the club returned to the Recreation Ground in December 2021.

Little Dorrit's Playground

Little Dorrit's Playground, named after Little Dorrit, the eponymous Charles Dickens character, is a public playground and small park just north of Marshalsea Road in Southwark, south London, England. History The site was previously called Falcon Court, "a horrible rookery of tumble-down, dirty hovels." In 1902, a small public open space called Little Dorrit's Playground was opened north of Marshalsea Road. The surrounding area has many Dickensian associations. Charles Dickens himself had lodgings in Lant Street to the south of Marsalsea Road as a child when his father is in the Marshalsea debtors' prison nearby in 1824. This had a profound effect on the young Dickens and his later novel Little Dorrit is based around the area and the prison. The character Little Dorrit was baptised and married in the local church, St George the Martyr, at the southeast end of Marshalsea Road close to the playground. Much of the area became derelict as a result of air raid damage during World War II. In 2001, the playground was improved through the effort of the Little Dorrit Park Group, set up by mothers in the area. The playground is supported by the Bankside Open Spaces Trust (BOST). North of Marshalsea Road, Little Dorrit's Court, also named after the Dickens character, can be found as well. References
Little Harle Tower

Little Harle Tower is a Grade II* listed privately owned country house with 15th-century origins, located at Little Harle, Kirkwhelpington, Northumberland. History The property, believed to have been built in the late 15th century as a pele tower, was first recorded in a survey of 1541. Until 1552 it was the property of the Fenwick family, from whom it passed to the Aynsleys. During the early years of the 19th century Harle Tower was inhabited by Lord Charles Murray-Aynsley and his wife Alicia, née Mitford. In around 1848 it was purchased by Thomas Anderson (c.1808–72) previously of Anderson Place (Greyfriars), Newcastle (who was Deputy Lieutenant, JP, and High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1843–4). His descendants remain in residence (with the East Wing of the house occupied by the Turnbull family in 2005 and the Rogers family in 2010, but as of 2013, it is home of the Andersons). Architecture The house incorporates a three-storey tower of medieval origins. The central two-storey block of five bays dates from the early 18th century. Substantial additions were made in the Gothic Revival style in about 1862, but much of the 19th-century work has not survived a remodelling of the property in 1980. The 19th-century stable block is also a separately listed Grade II building. References
