Воксгол-Ґарденз

Воксгол-Ґарденз (англ. Vauxhall Gardens) — розважальні сади у Лондоні, одне з головних місць громадського відпочинку та розваг у Лондоні, Англія з середини 17 століття до середини 19. Історія Воксгол-Ґарденз знаходився у районі Кенінгтон, на південному березі Темзи, який до самого кінця існування саду був поза зоною забудови столиці. Воксгол-Ґарденз до 1785 був також відомий як Нью Спрінг-Ґарденз і займав частину місцевості, яка зараз є невеличким громадським парком, що має назву Спрінґ-Ґарденз. У 1859 році сади були знесені, на цьому місці розмістили різні промислові об'єкти. 1976 року на місці «Воксгол-Ґарденз» було створено парк «Спрінґ-Ґарденз», який у 2012 році був перейменований в «Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens». Парк нині розташований на території лондонського боро Ламбет. Література Coke, David and Borg, Alan, Vauxhall Gardens: A History (Yale University Press, 2011) (англ.)

Tropical World (Leeds)

Tropical World is a butterfly house and animal attraction located in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It is a licensed zoo with membership of BIAZA and also features the largest collection of tropical plants outside Kew Gardens. History In 1911, a conservatory building, named the Coronation House, was built in the Canal Gardens of Roundhay Park. It was later rebuilt in 1939 and modernised to its present state in 1984. Ambitious plans to expand and revitalise it resulted in the opening of a tropical butterfly house in 1988, named Tropical World. Birds, fish, reptiles and small mammals accompanied its rare and unusual tropical plants on display. In 2008, the attraction was renamed The Arnold and Marjorie Ziff Tropical World in honour of Arnold Ziff and his wife Marjorie who had been financial sponsors. In 2015, Tropical World reopened following a two-year refurbishment worth £1.5 million. The aquarium section was extensively revamped in particular, complete with new species and an Aztec theme. A new cafe was also built. Overview The attraction is composed of several climate-controlled glass houses, each replicating a tropical environment from around the world. The houses contain tropical plants and live animals, including some which roam freely, such as butterflies and turtles. The first house visitors enter is the butterfly zone which features free-flying butterflies in a swamp-like environment. Terrapins and koi live in the various ponds and Morelet's crocodiles also occupy an enclosure. This house then leads into an Aztec-themed aquarium which features both freshwater and marine species, including poison dart frogs, axolotl, clownfish, octopus, stingrays, seahorse, red-bellied piranhas and catfish. The following rainforest floor section is themed after the rainforest floor and features a tumbling waterfall, tropical fish, leafcutter ants, terrestrial birds and butterfly pupae. This section leads visitors to an upper-floor with reptile displays, including snakes, lizards and iguanas. A rainforest canopy house features free-flying birds, including parrots, as well as cotton-top tamarins. It leads into a desert house featuring a mob of meerkats, tortoises and birds. The final house is a nocturnal house, featuring bats, armadillos, Malagasy giant rats, Egyptian fruit bats, pygmy slow loris, mouse lemurs and potoroos. A cafe overlooking the Canal Gardens and a gift shop is available at the entrance. Gallery References
Bletchley Flyover

The Bletchley Flyover is a railway viaduct that crosses the West Coast Main Line (WCML) just south of Bletchley railway station in Milton Keynes, England. It was originally a reinforced concrete railway viaduct that carried the former Varsity line between Oxford and Cambridge from 1959 until its closure in 1968. The flyover was retained, but largely unused until 2021, when the East West Rail Alliance partially demolished then rebuilt the structure. It reopened for engineering use in early 2022. Construction The original structure was composed of 37 concrete spans, resting on concrete piers. It is 605 metres (1,985 ft) long. Most of the spans are beam-shaped; two are double-length arches. Electrification pads were provided when the flyover was first built, despite there being no plans to electrify the line. History In 1959, the Bletchley Flyover was opened to carry the Varsity line over the West Coast Main Line (WCML) as part of the British Rail Modernisation Plan. The plan proposed to develop the Varsity Line as a freight link from the East Coast ports to South Wales, capable of handling up to 2,400 wagons of coal class traffic and empties daily. However, following British Railways deciding not to proceed with the Swanbourne sidings plan, the line saw little use, with most freight traffic taking other routes. The Varsity line closed to passengers on 1 January 1968; it remained open to goods traffic until October 1993, when the bridge was mothballed. The flyover was returned to use in 2006 along with a mile of track west of Bletchley to a loop at the Newton Longville Brickworks landfill site. 2020/2021 rebuild As part of the East West Rail project that will reopen the Oxford – Cambridge route, work to replace 14 of the spans began in April 2020. Sections beside and over the WCML were removed in April and May. The arches crossing Buckingham Road (on the east side of WCML) started being removed on 5 July 2020. "The final span was lifted out by crane in October and the last of the supporting piers and pillars were removed over the weekend of 9-10 January 2021". At the early May 2021 holiday, 103 concrete girders were lifted into place to provide the bridge deck over the main line. During summer 2021, a new structure was built for use by East West Rail, in the form of a box tunnel around the WCML; by February 2022, 1.5 km (0.93 mi) of track had been installed over the new flyover, enabling engineering trains to reach the eastern end of the construction site. The renovation project includes a plan to construct high level platforms for Bletchley station, just after the eastern end of the flyover. These platforms will serve East West Rail (only).

Royal Central School of Speech and Drama

The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, commonly shortened to Central, is a drama school in London, England. It was founded by Elsie Fogerty in 1906 as the Central School of Speech Training and Dramatic Art, to offer a new form of training in speech and drama for young actors and other students. It became a constituent college of the University of London in 2005 and is a member of Conservatoires UK and the Federation of Drama Schools. Courses The school offers undergraduate, postgraduate, research degrees and short courses in acting, actor training, applied theatre, theatre crafts and making, design, drama therapy, movement, musical theatre, performance, producing, research, scenography, stage management, teacher training, technical arts, voice and writing. History In 2006, the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art was absorbed into Central. On 29 November 2012, the 'Royal' title was bestowed on the school by Queen Elizabeth II in recognition of its reputation as a "world-class institution for exceptional professional training in theatre and performance studies". It is entitled to use it in official documentation, although it continues to be colloquially referred to as "Central". The school's Patron, Princess Alexandra of Kent, played a role in recommending the institution for the title. Buildings When founded in 1906, the school was housed in the Royal Albert Hall in South Kensington. In 1957 it moved to Swiss Cottage in north London, an area redeveloped as a "civic and cultural quarter" which includes a new extension building for the school, replacing 1960s accommodation. The school's theatre is located inside the new building, which was awarded a BREEAM rating of "very good". Administration Past presidents of the school include Laurence Olivier, Peggy Ashcroft and Judi Dench. In October 2008 Harold Pinter, who attended the school in 1950–51, became its president, succeeding Peter Mandelson. He was to receive an honorary fellowship in December 2008, but had to receive it in absentia because of ill health; he died two weeks later. Michael Grandage was president from 2009 to 2022. Theatre producer and Central graduate Sonia Friedman was appointed after Grandage stepped down from the role. Former presidents Laurence Olivier (1983 to 1989) Peggy Ashcroft (1989 to 1992) Judi Dench (1992 to 1997) Peter Mandelson (2001 to 2008) Harold Pinter (2008) Michael Grandage (2009 to 2022) Research In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise the majority of Central's submission was judged "world leading" or "internationally excellent". The school has been ranked sixth in its league of specialist institutions by The Guardian, and ninth for drama and dance. The school has over 20 doctoral candidates. The first PhD was awarded in 2010.

Royal Central School of Speech and Drama

La Royal Central School of Speech & Drama, comunemente detta Central, fondata nel 1906 da Elsie Fogerty, è il conservatorio di arte drammatica dell'Università di Londra. Storia La scuola fu fondata nel 1906 da Elsie Fogerty come Central school of speech and drama presso la Royal Albert Hall. Agli inizi la scuola offrì corsi per divenire attori e direttori di scena; nel 1912 i corsi furono equiparati a quelli universitari, il che consentì alla Central di rilasciare titoli equipollenti alla laurea. Nel 1957 la scuola si spostò nel quartiere di Camden. Il complesso era composto da un gruppo di tre edifici associati all'Embassy Theatre. L'affarista inglese John Davis si occupò di finanziare la ristrutturazione. Nel 1961 l'ente fu intitolato alla Duchessa di Kent ed in seguito, nel 1972, il patronato passò alla principessa Alessandra. La qualifica di "Regio collegio" stabilita dal consiglio della Corona appartenne alla scuola fino al 2005, anno in cui la fu annessa all'Università di Londra. Il titolo Royal fu reintrodotto nel 2012, tuttavia la scuola continua a dipendere dall'università.

Центральная школа сценической речи и драматического искусства

Королевская центральная школа сценической речи и драматического искусства (англ. Royal Central School of Speech & Drama, RCSSD, обычно называемая сокращённо «Центральная» — англ. Central, Сентрэл) — театральный институт в Лондоне, Великобритания. История Школа была основана в 1906 году Элси Фогерти, преподавателем речи и актёрского мастерства, в Королевском Альберт-Холле. К 1912 году Фогерти добилась, чтобы актёрское мастерство было признано профессией и получила разрешение выдавать дипломы специалистов в этой области, что повысило статус её учебного заведения до статуса школы (института). В 1957 году школа переезжает в район Суисс Коттедж (англ. Swiss Cottage) в Камдене, где ей был предоставлен в долгосрочную аренду комплекс зданий на Итон-авеню (англ. Eton Avenue). C 1972 года школа стала получать гранты от Лондонского образовательного совета. С 1986 года школа предлагает возможность получения более высоких степеней образования. В 1989 году ей присвоен статус самостоятельного университета, и с тех пор финансирование деятельности происходит за счет государства. В 2005 году школа приняла студентов Академии драматического искусства Уэббера Дугласа и вошла в структуру Лондонского университета как самостоятельный колледж. 29 ноября 2012 года школе была даровано использование приставке «Королевская». Это было сделано в знак признания её репутации «образовательного учреждения мирового класса с исключительной профессиональной подготовкой в изучении театра и искусства».

David Parr House

The David Parr House is a preserved terraced house in Cambridge, England, with interior decoration in the Arts and Crafts style, executed by its owner, David Parr, between 1886 and 1926. The house is open to the public for guided tours in small groups. David Parr was a working-class Victorian decorative artist who worked for the Cambridge firm of F. R. Leach & Sons. The firm was a contractor to leading Arts and Crafts and Gothic Revival architects and designers, and Parr worked on projects for clients such as George Frederick Bodley, William Morris and Charles Eamer Kempe. In 1886 Parr purchased 186 Gwydir Street, a terraced house off Mill Road in Cambridge. Over 40 years he decorated his own home in the style of the notable interiors he worked on for his employers. After Parr's death in 1927 his widow, and later his granddaughter, preserved the house interiors over the next 87 years. In 2014 the house was purchased by a charity established to ensure its continued preservation, and a major conservation programme was undertaken. The house opened to the public in May 2019 and became a Grade II* listed building in 2020. At the same time, Leach's showroom at 3 St Mary's Passage was listed Grade II.

Equestrian statue of Charles II, Windsor Castle

A bronze equestrian statue of Charles II on horseback sits in the Upper Ward of Windsor Castle beneath the castle's Round Tower. It was inspired by Hubert Le Sueur's statue of Charles I in London, the statue was cast by Josias Ibach in 1679, with the marble plinth featuring carvings by Grinling Gibbons. The statue was commissioned by Tobias Rustat, Charles's valet. Rustat was a significant philanthropist of the 1670s. Rustat's fortune was partially derived from the transatlantic slave trade, having been an investor in the Royal African Company. The rear left hoof of the horse is inscribed 'Josias Ibach Stada Bramesis 1679 FUDIT'. Gibbons had been appointed the 'Surveyor and Repairer of Carved Work at Windsor' in 1682. The Royal Collection Trust listing for the statue describes the design as "very innovative" in its depiction of Charles as a Roman emperor with its absence of traditional symbols of the British monarchy such as the Order of the Garter. Charles is depicted wearing a suit of armour in a classically Roman style, without spurs and stirrups for his horse. He is crowned with a laurel wreath. The statue started a subsequent trend for British monarchs to be portrayed in a Roman style. The statue may have been inspired by the Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius that was originally situated on the Capitoline Hill in Rome with its similar placing of the horse and design of the plinth.
