The club continued to run junior teams until 2024, when it entered an adult team into the Alliance League. Ground The club moved to Bardon Close in 1990 as their previous ground behind the church was required for the expansion of a quarry.

The Barfly

The Barfly is a pub and live music venues in the United Kingdom originally started by Nick Moore, Jeremy Ledlin and Be Rozzo on Valentine's Day 1997. Club nights and events tended to feature rock, alternative and independent music. The flagship venue was based in Camden Town, London, England. The premises are still used as a live music venue, which has a capacity of 200. In December 2025 the venue was purchased by Propaganda Independent Venues who announced they plan to restore the venue to its previous Barfly name. Camden venue Prior to 2000, the flagship Camden venue had been known as The Monarch, a pub which had hosted live music gigs since the 1980s. During the 1990s it became a regular venue for Britpop bands. The venue was featured in Episode 5 of Season 2 of TV series Spaced which centred around lead characters Tim and Daisy having a night out in Camden. The Barfly brand began with one club in 1996, originally at The Falcon pub, before moving to The Monarch in 2000, which was then renamed The Barfly, with the old name "The Monarch" being later taken up by another nearby venue, the former Misty Moon. In May 2016, the Columbo Group purchased the Barfly from its previous owner, MAMA & Company. In June 2016, it closed the venue. After refurbishment, the space has reopened as the Camden Assembly. On 9 June 2026 it was confirmed that as of 22 June 2026 Barfly would reopen with a special live performance from Frank Turner Other venues A second venue was opened in Cardiff in 2001 with a capacity of 200 people and other venues followed. The Cardiff venue closed in September 2010. Similarly, the Birmingham Barfly closed in the same year. Until 2003, The Barfly ran a venue in Sheffield in the now defunct National Centre for Popular Music. The venue was initially housed in one "pod" of the building but this was closed down sometime in 2002, moving to what was the Zero Club (later The Plug, then Network) on Matilda Street. The Barfly vacated these premises soon afterwards, and left Sheffield altogether. On 2 June 2008, the Brighton The Barfly (formerly the Gloucester Nightclub) closed down without notice. Cambridge Barfly opened in 2007 after the Barfly chain took over The Graduate public house. It had a 250-person capacity, but closed in the Summer of 2008. It was refurbished and became a J D Wetherspoon pub, which later burned down, but has since reopened. On 17 February 2009, the Glasgow Barfly also closed down without notice. During late May 2009, Liverpool Barfly was sold to local bar owners and transformed into the Masque Nightclub and music venue. The building also contains The Masque's affiliated bar: Ink, a free-entry rock 'n' roll bar and the only tattoo studio-themed venue in the North West of England. In 2010, the York Barfly also ceased trading; the venue reopened as Fibbers on 3 September 2010. The West End of London Barfly venue closed in 2011.

Bargate

Bargate er et middelalderligt portbygning i Southamptons bymidte i England, som er fredet i kategori Grade I. Det blev opført i normannisk tid som en del af Southamptons bymure og fungerede som byens hovedport. Bygningen er et scheduled monument. Historie Bargate blev opført omkring 1180 af sten og flint. Omkring 1290 blev bygningen ombygget, da der blev tilføjet store runde tårne på nordsiden med skydeskårsvinduer. Mod slutningen af 1200-tallet blev der opført en toetagers tilbygning på sydsiden med fire vinduer, som gav lys til rummet på første sal. I samme århundrede blev der også udført arbejder i det øvre rum, hvor der blev installeret pejse af sten. Den krenelerede nordfacade blev tilføjet omkring år 1400. En opgørelse over byens skydevåben fra 1468 viste, at Bargate rummede to bagladekanoner og en forladerkanon af messing. Det er uklart, hvornår Bargate begyndte at blive anvendt som fængsel, men de første optegnelser om dette stammer fra 1439. I 1458 blev fængslet brugt til at tilbageholde byens genovesiske befolkning som led i reaktionen på et genovesisk angreb på en engelsk handelsekspedition. Området uden for Bargate fungerede i senmiddelalderen som henrettelsesplads. Blandt andet blev to af de mænd, der i 1415 blev dømt for at have deltaget i sammensværgelsen mod Henrik V, halshugget her. På et tidspunkt i løbet af 1500-tallet begyndte byretten (court leet) i Southampton at afholde sine møder i Bargate, selv om den fortsatte med at skifte mellem Bargate og Cutthorn-højen på Southampton Common indtil 1670. Omkring samme tid menes det også, at træskulpturer af løver blev opsat foran Bargate. De bevarede borgmesterregnskaber fra 1594 indeholder betalinger for fremstillingen af nye løver, og brugen af ordet "nye" antyder, at der allerede fandtes løveskulpturer før dette tidspunkt. Regnskaberne omtaler også et par malerier af Bevis of Hampton og Ascapart på træpaneler. Disse synes at have været placeret på bygningens nordside, da en besøgende nævnte dem i 1635. En klokke blev opsat i bygningens sydvestlige hjørne i 1579. Den nuværende klokke er dateret 1605 og blev anvendt som byens aftenklokke og alarmklokke. I 1644 blev panelerne med Bevis of Hampton og Ascapart malet op igen. Rummet over selve porten blev sandsynligvis tilføjet kort efter år 1400, og byens embedsbøger omtaler en banket, der blev afholdt her i 1434. Det blev oprindeligt anvendt som byens rådhus, indtil 1770'erne. På dette tidspunkt begyndte byen at vokse nord for porten. Også i løbet af 1700-tallet blev fem paneler med malede våbenskjolde samt et solur føjet til bygningen, og midt i århundredet blev de gamle træløver erstattet af nye skulpturer i bly. Yderligere portåbninger blev tilføjet i 1764 og 1774. I 1765 blev der gennembrudt en passage gennem østsiden af portbuen til fodgængere. Senere blev der anlagt endnu en passage gennem vestsiden. Opførelsen af disse passager betød (midlertidigt), at Bargate ophørte med at fungere som fængsel. Fra 2006 til 2012 var bygningen udlejet til a space arts, som indrettede første sal til Bargate Monument Gallery. De indvendige skillevægge fra denne periode blev fjernet i 2022.

Barking RFC

Barking RFC is an English rugby union team based in Barking, East London. The 1XV currently play in the Essex RFU merit leagues. History Park Modern Old Boys The club was founded in 1930, under the name of Park Modern Old Boys. In 1926 the Park Modern School in Barking was founded and the headmaster decided that the school would play rugby, despite football being the most popular sport in the area. As a result, the Old Boys team was created four years later and won 16 out of 19 games in its inaugural season. Barking RFC Old Boys continued to prosper after the Second World War. In 1974 they were declared no longer an Old Boys team, and so were obliged to change their name to Barking Park RFC, which became Barking RFC in 1976. Barking were successful upon the introduction of leagues and moved slowly up the league ladder. Jason Leonard, whose total of 119 caps as a prop was the world record from 2004 to 2006, began his club career at Barking. In 1989 Barking opened their current ground at Goresbrook, Dagenham and have remained there since. They reached the National Leagues in 1994. After winning National Division Three South in the 2004–05 season, Barking enjoyed two seasons in National Division Two before being relegated in 2007. The season began with a crushing 63–10 defeat at the hands of newly promoted Mounts Bay, who were eventually crowned champions. This set the tone for a season in which the Eastenders were constantly staving off the threat of relegation. However, Barking survived by the narrowest of margins after defeating the very team who had destroyed them on the opening day and finished the league as champions. The 16–14 win at Goresbrook was enough to send Bristol-based Clifton down by a single point and secure another season of National League rugby for Barking. In the 2010-11 National One season the club came within a few minutes of promotion to the 2011–12 RFU Championship when they faced London Scottish in the title decider, settled by a last-minute interception try that saw London Scottish win 17-13. This marked the beginning of a difficult time for the club with relegation from National League 1 in 2011-12 followed by relegation from National League 2 South in 2012-13, relegation from National League 3 London & SE in 2013-14 before consolidating with a 5th place finish in London 1 North in 2014-15. The club was relegated from that league in 2016-17, relegated from London 2 South East in 2017-18, relegated from London 3 Essex in 2019-20 then spending three seasons in Essex 1 (subsequently rebranded Counties 2 Essex) before being relegated out of the RFU pyramid and into the Essex RFU merit leagues at the end of the 2024-25 campaign.

Barnabas Community Church, Shrewsbury

Barnabas Community Church is an independent, charismatic evangelical, Church in Shrewsbury, England, associated with the British New Church Movement. It is part of the Newfrontiers family of churches and a member of the Evangelical Alliance. The congregation meets every Sunday at 10am at the Barnabas Centre, in Coleham. History Barnabas Christian Fellowship was founded in 1983, after the Crowmoor Baptist Church outgrew its building at the time. The initial group was about 80 strong. Restricted by only having limited capacity in meeting rooms above a pub, as the church grew, it separated into two congregations for a three-year period. In 1993, the two congregations reunited and began meeting together at the Wakeman School, now part of the Shrewsbury Sixth Form College, with a clear sense that a new "home" was needed. In 1996 Barnabas formally became part of Newfrontiers, an international family of similar churches, and in 1999 formally adopted a cell group model for church life - now referred to as Midweek Groups - having been inspired by other churches' usage. About the same time the Alpha Course was adopted and has been run twice a year since then. The Barnabas Centre Between 1983 and 1985 the church met in various public halls including the Music Hall, now the Shrewsbury Museum, and the Gateway arts centre. Between 1985 and 1996 the church rented a suite of rooms above the Lloyds pub in Shrewsbury town centre. In 1996 the church moved to the Longden Coleham Territorial Army Centre whose premises it expanded and now uses as a permanent base. The Barnabas Centre within its premises is now a multi-use church centre with many community agencies using the facilities, such as an NHS pop-up Blood Donor clinic There are also many community projects run from the sub charity 'Barnabas Community Projects.' These include a foodbank, a money advice centre and a '360 Journey to Work' programme. Also run by the Church in term-time every week is a toddler group, 'Barneytots;' a youth group, 'Impact,' and a children's (aged 5–11) after school club, 'Kidzklub.'

History Death of Marc Bolan Singer and rock musician Marc Bolan died on the common on 16 September 1977 when the car carrying him as a passenger slammed into a tree, at what is now Marc Bolan's Rock Shrine. He was found unconscious in the wreckage of the purple Mini, which, driven by his girlfriend, Gloria Jones, failed to navigate a small humpback bridge, near Gipsy Lane on Queens Ride, Barnes, south-west London, lost control and struck a steel-reinforced chain link fence post, and he was pronounced dead at the scene on the arrival of paramedics near the post located in the woods. Jones was critically injured but was conscious after the crash and survived. Cricket match In August 1736, the common hosted a cricket match between Surrey and London. This is the only time that a reference to the common is found in surviving cricket records.
