Kent and Sussex Crematorium and Cemetery

The Kent and Sussex Crematorium and Cemetery is a crematorium and cemetery located in Royal Tunbridge Wells in the county of Kent, England. Background As a quickly developing and popular Victorian era spa town, the town of Tunbridge Wells did not gain its first church until 1829, when the Decimus Burton designed Holy Trinity Church opened. The town gained its first cemetery, Woodbury Park Cemetery in 1849, laid out over 3 acres (1.2 ha) and consecrated as Trinity Cemetery. However, as the town's expansion quickened, and with no additional land into which to expand the grounds, Woodbury Park proved too small. Although burials were continued to be allowed in family plots post 1873, the last burial took place there in 1934. It is now Grade II listed. History After Tunbridge Wells town corporation had procured lands on the northern edge of Frant forest/southern edge of the town, the initially named Frant Forest Cemetery opened in 1873. It was laid out over an initial 23 acres (9.3 ha) site by the town surveyor William Brentnall, who had originally been recruited to rebuild the drainage system around the town. Brentnall was later buried in the same grounds. The co-located crematorium was opened in 1959. Enlarged twice and now covering over 28 acres (11 ha), today the grounds house over 44,000 burials. In June 2014, a new Friends of Tunbridge Wells Cemetery association were formed. The cemetery contains the war graves of 72 Commonwealth service personnel of World War I and 63 of World War II. Notable burials John Duncan Grant, British Army officer who was awarded the Victoria Cross (ashes) William Hartnell, actor, the first Doctor Who (ashes) Nikolai Legat, premier danseur, teacher, choreographer and caricaturist. Nadine Nicolaeva-Legat, prima ballerina, teacher and choreographer.

Milbank Arms, Barningham

The Milbank Arms is a Grade II listed public house at Barningham, County Durham. Built in the early 19th century, it spent a period as a hotel before converting to a public house. It was one of the last public houses in the country to not include a bar counter when one was fitted in 2018. The public house, and former hotel, are named after local land owning family, the Milbanks, who have recently taken over the license. History The building dates back to the early 19th century and it opened as the Milbank Hotel in 1860. In the early 1900s, it was refurbished a public house, but unusually for English pubs it did not include a bar counter. Instead, drinks would be fetched directly from the cellar by the staff. However, a bar was put in place in 2018 by the current landlord - at the time there were only eight remaining pubs without a bar in England. Due to this change, the Campaign for Real Ale have put the pub's "unspoilt" status under review. It had previously been on the Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors. The building is made of stone, with a slate roof. There are three rooms on the ground floor, a domino room, a tap room and a dining room. The dining room was historically used for collections of rents from tenants of the land in the 19th century. Few different landlords have run the Millbank arms, between 1860 and 2018, only three different names have been on the license above the door. It had been run by the Turner family between 1939 and 2018, before being taken over by Sir Edward Milbank. References
Kirkby High School

Kirkby High School is a Knowsley based co-educational secondary school educating pupils aged 11–16 years of age in the Kirkby area of Merseyside, England. History Previously known as 'Brookfield High School', in 2008 the school was merged with Ruffwood School to form 'Kirkby Sports College Centre for Learning' on the site of Brookfield. The school was completely rebuilt under the Building Schools for the Future programme. In September 2013 the school converted to academy status and was renamed Kirkby High School. Kirkby High School is in the borough of Knowsley which had been singled out by the government for the poor achievement of their students on the assessment targets the government preferred. Kirkby has served their students, who were from a largely disadvantaged, white working class community by entering them for the more vocationally targeted BTEC qualification. In 2013, the government 'reformed' the target. Only academic subjects examined in an end-of-course exam would count. In 2011, Kirkby High School achieved a respectable 41% (5 A to Cs) that wouldn't happen in 2015: 24% achieved the new government benchmark of five GCSEs with English and maths at A* to C. The school was visited by Ofsted in June 2015 and graded as level 3, which would have been Satisfactory, but is now spoken of as Required Improvement. The results came in August 2015. After two Section 8 monitoring inspections the school had a full inspection in 2017, where it was deemed as 'inadequate' and put back in special measures. The school was released from special measures in December 2018, when Ofsted described it as a changed school. Academics Virtually all maintained schools and academies follow the National Curriculum, and are inspected by Ofsted on how well they succeed in delivering a 'broad and balanced curriculum'. Schools endeavour to get all students to achieve the English Baccalaureate (EBACC) qualification- this must include core subjects a modern or ancient foreign language, and either History or Geography. In Key Stage 3, students are setted by ability in the core subjects of English, Mathematics, Modern Foreign Languages, Science, Geography, History, RE, and Physical Education. Personal Development, Art, Computing, Drama, Music, and Technology are taught in mixed ability classes. In Key Stage 4, students continue with a core curriculum of Mathematics GCSE, English Language and literature (worth 2 GCSEs) and the Science Trilogy or Triple Award (worth up to 3 GCSEs). They also have three options chosen from History, Geography, Spanish, Food and Nutrition, Design Technology, Computer Science, Travel and Tourism, Sports Studies, Textiles, Art and Design, Music, Dance, Drama, Childcare and Religious Studies.

Knights Templar Church, Dover

The Knights Templar Church in Dover is the ruins of a medieval church on Bredenstone hill, part of the Dover Western Heights in Kent, England. It has been designated by English Heritage as a scheduled monument. History The church followed the same plan as the New Temple Church in London but smaller in scale. For reasons of its design, it has been linked to the Templars, but it is not listed as belonging to the Order in surviving records. If it were a Templar church, it was possibly used before they established a church at Temple Ewell in 1170, and built the Norman church of St Peter and St Paul, but it is more likely to have been a simple roadside shrine. In 1309, Ralph de Malton was the preceptor of the church at Temple Ewell. It was discovered in 1806 during the construction of the fortifications on Dover Western Heights. According to Matthew Paris the Templar church at Dover was the site of King John's submission to the papal legate Pandulph in May 1213, but this almost certainly relates to Temple Ewell. The church has a circular nave, 10 metres in diameter, and an oblong chancel. Built mainly of flint rubble with ashlar facings. This unusual form mirrors that of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. See also Catholic Church in England References

Mulberry Harbour Phoenix Units, Portland

The Portland Mulberry Harbour Phoenix Units are two reinforced concrete caissons, built as part of the artificial Mulberry harbours that were assembled as part of the follow-up to the Normandy landings during World War II. Out of a total of 213 (212 floated) produced units, two units still remain at the Isle of Portland, in Dorset, southern England. They are located at Portland Harbour, close to Queen's Pier. The two units became Grade II Listed in 1993. History When planning the invasion of France the allies knew they needed to supply the troops who were ashore. The only reliable method of landing resources was through a major port. As the German army held all of France's harbours, the solution was the Mulberry harbours. A building program followed, creating two operational harbours within two weeks. The Mulberry harbours were considered a success in their supporting role of Allied troops. Following the war, ten units were towed to Portland Harbour. Eight of these were later sent to the Netherlands to block breaches in the dykes after the great storm of 31 January 1953. The two units left behind are now used as a wind break, helping ships berth at Queen's Pier. In 2017, six statues were installed on the tops of the units, representing two British Sailors, two American GIs and two Dock workers. References
Ladybridge High School

Ladybridge High School is a mixed secondary school located in the Deane area of Bolton, Greater Manchester, England. History The Deane School was built in 1969 as a grammar school and a secondary modern school on the same site, a fact reflected in the mirrored architecture of the school buildings. It later became a comprehensive school with pupils split into two "populations" and forms named after the letters of the school name. Today it is a community school administered by Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council. The Deane School also had the rare distinction of a school farm, which is still part of Ladybridge High School. This was established on 4 January 1970, by Fred Tyldesley, to help children from its mostly urban catchment area to experience working with animals. As well as conventional livestock the farm became a centre for rare and endangered species, including pygmy goats and pot-bellied pigs. During the late 1980s Deane School had as headmaster a capped England footballer, Warren Bradley. After a period of decline at the turn of the century, the Deane School was put into special measures by Ofsted due to a series of poor inspection results. In 2004 the school was reopened as part of the 'Fresh Start' programme and was renamed Ladybridge High School. As part of this Ladybridge High became part of the Brook Learning Partnership – a collaborative partnership with Rivington and Blackrod High School. Academics Ladybridge High School offers GCSEs, Cambridge Nationals and the DiDA courses. The school has a specialism in sports and offers its sports facilities for use by the local community.

Latimer House

Latimer House ist ein großes Englisches Landhaus in Latimer, Buckinghamshire in Südengland. Es wurde 1838 errichtet. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurden dort gefangene deutsche Offiziere und Soldaten verhört. Ab den 1950er Jahren war im Gebäude eine Militärakademie untergebracht. Heute ist es ein Landhotel für Hochzeiten und Konferenzen. Geschichte Bis 1940 Zweiter Weltkrieg Während des Zweiten Weltkrieges war das Haus ab August 1940 das Hauptquartier des IV. Korps und ein Zentrum geheimer Aktivitäten von MI5 und MI6. Es war auch eines von drei herrschaftlichen Häusern, in denen gefangene deutsche U-Boot-Besatzungen und Piloten der Luftwaffe zeitweise festgehalten wurden, bevor sie in konventionelle Kriegsgefangenenlager überstellt wurden. Trent Park war das erste Verhörlager. Ab Herbst 1942 gerieten deutlich mehr Wehrmacht-Offiziere als zuvor in Kriegsgefangenschaft. Latimer House und Wilton Park wurden zum Belauschen „normaler“ Gefangenen aufgebaut; Trent Park war ab November 1942 das Lager für Langzeitverhöre von Generälen und Stabsoffizieren. Heute gilt die Rolle von Latimer House im Zweiten Weltkrieg als ähnlich wichtig wie die von Bletchley Park. Die Umnutzung des Anwesens zu geheimen Zwecken wurde von Churchill persönlich angeordnet. Das Budget war unbegrenzt. Über 21 Millionen Pfund wurden ausgegeben. Leiter von Latimer war Colonel Thomas Kendrick, ein hochrangiger MI6-Offizier, der etwa tausend Mitarbeiter unter seinem Kommando hatte, darunter auch den Abhörer Fritz Lustig (1919–2017). Im Laufe des Krieges kamen Tausende deutscher Kriegsgefangener, darunter auch Wehrmacht-Generäle, durch Latimer House. Briten hörten die Gespräche von über 10.000 deutschen Kriegsgefangenen ab und zeichneten sie in über 100.000 Transkripten auf, die heute in einem der Nationalarchive aufbewahrt werden. In einem der mitgehörten Gespräche ging es um die Flugbombe V-1 und um die ballistische V2-Rakete. Die Informationen wurden an den Kriegs-Premierminister Winston Churchill gesendet, der häufig in Latimer House zu Gast war. Hitlers Generäle wurden oft auf dem Anwesen spazieren geführt, um ihnen Informationen zu entlocken. Viele wurden dazu eingesetzt, dem Gärtner beim Umgraben des Gemüsegartens des Anwesens zu helfen. Rudolf Heß, Hitlers Stellvertreter, der ranghöchste deutsche Gefangene, der jemals vom britischen Geheimdienst festgehalten wurde, soll in Latimer festgehalten worden sein. Im sogenannten M-Raum wurden private Gespräche zwischen deutschen Gefangenen und Generälen heimlich auf Tonband aufgezeichnet, um Kriegsgeheimnisse zu erfahren. Colonel Kendrick war auch an der Ausbildung des OSS (Office of Strategic Services) für die USA beteiligt. Aus dem OSS ging später die CIA hervor. US-Botschafter John Gilbert Winant, der Joseph P. Kennedy (den Vater von John F. Kennedy) ablöste, wohnte ebenfalls auf dem Anwesen. Nach 1945 Weblinks Sönke Neitzel: Deutsche Generäle in britischer Gefangenschaft 1942-1945.

Open Air Theatre, Barra Hall Park

The Open Air Theatre, Barra Hall Park in Hayes, west London, England, is a purpose-built outdoor theatre with concrete-step seating for up to 180 people. Originally built in 1951, the structure fell into disrepair and was rebuilt in steel in 2005. Type The Open Air Theatre in Barra Hall Park is a modern, steel-built structure. Four steel umbrellas simultaneously give protection to the stage and reflect sound towards the audience. The stage backdrop is made up of vertical sheets of steel. The indoor back-stage area has toilets and two small dressing rooms. History The original Open Air Theatre in Barra Hall Park, Hayes was built in 1951 as a community venue for music, theatre and dance. Over time, the structure fell into disrepair, and the local community raised funds for its reconstruction. The 2005 steel-rebuild was designed by architects Angela Brady (former president of the Royal Institute of British Architects) and Robin Mallalieu, whose aim for a theatre which would have sculptural and visual interest even when not in use produced a theatre with an abstract, enigmatic quality. Standout productions include performances of Shakespeare's The Tempest (2004) and Hotbuckle Productions' 2015 adaptation of Jane Austen's Persuasion. Transport Buses The 195 and H98 stop near Barra Hall Park on Church Road, and the U4 stops near the park at Barra Hall Circus. Hayes town centre is approximately 1 km away, with its many other regular bus services. Train The closest train station is Hayes & Harlington, which is a little over 1 km walk away. Car On-site parking is available. Street parking (Park and Pay) may be found on the surrounding roads near to the entrances. References External links 1960s view of Open Air Theatre, Barra Hall Park
