Notre Dame Catholic Sixth Form College

Notre Dame is a Catholic Sixth Form College in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. The college is situated on Saint Mark's Avenue, near the engineering departments of the University of Leeds in Woodhouse, Leeds. It is near the (formerly C of E) St Mark's Church, Woodhouse, Leeds, and the Leeds Universities Catholic Church and Centre. It provides A-Level and vocational full-time courses in further education. History In 1898 the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur came to Leeds and to the two-classroom parish school of St Anne's situated behind it. In 1904 the main part of what is now the Sixth Form College was built and opened as Notre Dame Collegiate School for Girls from the age of eleven to fourteen. Notre Dame was one of three catholic direct grant grammar schools in Leeds, and the second that was all-female from 1946. It later was known as Notre Dame Grammar School. The school was handed over to the diocese in the 1970s when the Sisters of Notre Dame changed their focus to education in developing countries. The school became Notre Dame High School in 1978, a catholic comprehensive school for ages 13–19 with around 650 girls. All the other Catholic direct grant schools in Leeds also changed this year. The sixth form college was formed in September 1989 as the sixth form centre for Catholic education in Leeds. It was decided to merge the boys and girls sixth forms together in one college (from, Notre Dame High School itself, Mount St Mary's, St Michael's College and Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School). For nearly ninety years before this, a girls' school was present on the same site. This was one of a network of girls' secondary schools in England and Scotland which belonged to the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. Admissions for girls (Year 3, age 13–14 years old) ceased in 1989, with the school pupils present moving up each year, and a growing number of Sixth Form admissions. Admissions Notre Dame currently has a student body of approximately 2,000 pupils between the 2 years (of A levels); giving it a ten times larger student body than the average Leeds Sixth form. It is a Roman Catholic faith institution and the only one of that denomination in the city for ages 16–18.

Nottingham Guildhall

Nottingham Guildhall is a former magistrates' court in Nottingham, England. The structure, which was used by Nottingham City Council as offices in the 1990s, is a Grade II listed building. History Nottingham Guildhall was built in 1887 to 1888 to replace the previous Nottingham Guild Hall on Weekday Cross. Following a competition with Alfred Waterhouse as the judge, the French Renaissance Revival design by the architects Thomas Verity and George Henry Hunt was chosen. Gabbutts of Liverpool were chosen as contractors much to the annoyance of local building companies. The initial estimate for the building was £128,416 (equivalent to £13,500,019 in 2025), and immediately the council asked Verity and Hunt to simplify the design. The building was erected in Darley Dale ashlar and brick, with Westmorland slate roofs for a cost of £65,000 (equivalent to £7,304,530 in 2025) and completed in 1888. In 1996, all magistrates were moved to the new Nottingham Magistrates' Court building. Between 1996 and 2010 the Guildhall was occupied by Nottingham City Council. In 2010 the council left for new, modern offices at Loxley House, close to Nottingham rail station. Since this date the building has remained council-owned but is relatively unused. In 2016, the council initiated discussions with a developer with a view to selling the property. Between May and July 2024, vandals set fire to the guildhall several times. Security at the site has since been increased. Caves The two-level cave system is reached by an open well stair. The brick-lined passages and cells were extensively modified during World War II for use as emergency headquarters and air raid shelters.

Nottingham High School

Nottingham High School är en privatskola som ligger i Nottingham, East Midlands i England. Skolan grundades av Agnes Mellers år 1513 efter att hennes make, Richard, hade avlidit. Hon grundade skolan delvis i hans minne, men även för att försöka gottgöra för flera av de felaktiga beslut Richard tidigare hade tagit mot befolkningen i Nottingham. Med hjälp från både Thomas Lovell och Henrik VIII av England kunde planerna för skolan officiellt säkras den 22 november 1513. Det är osäkert om skolan var helt ny när den öppnades detta år, då det finns information bevarad från åtminstone 1289 om en tidigare skola på denna plats. Sedan 1868 är skolan belägen högt uppe på Waverley Mount, norr om stadens centrum.

Nottingham Playhouse

Das Nottingham Playhouse ist ein Theater in der englischen Stadt Nottingham, das 1948 gegründet wurde. Das Theatergebäude ist auf der Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest mit Grade II* gelistet. Geschichte Das Theater wurde 1948 als Repertoire-Theater gegründet. Die Aufführungen fanden zunächst in einem ehemaligen Kino in der Goldsmith Street statt. Die ersten Direktoren waren Val Nay und Frank Dunlop (* 1927). Wegen Baufälligkeit des Hauses wurde am Wellington Circus ein Neubau geplant. 1963 wurde das Theater, entworfen von Peter Moro (1911–1998), mit einer Inszenierung von Shakespeares Drama Coriolanus eröffnet. Unter der Leitung von Tyrone Guthrie spielten u. a. John Neville (Titelrolle), Leo McKern (Menenius) und Ian McKellen (Tullius Aufidius). 1965 wurde es mit dem Civic Trust Award ausgezeichnet. 2004 wurde das Haus mit Unterstützung durch den Heritage Lottery Fund umfassend renoviert und neu möbliert. 2014/15 wurde das Haus einer umfassenden Sanierung mit dem Schwerpunkt Energieeinsparung unterzogen. Die Wärmedämmung des Hauses einschließlich des Bühnenturms wurde verbessert, Doppelverglasung und Solaranlagen installiert. An der Finanzierung waren der Arts Council England, die Stadt Nottingham sowie private Spender wie der der Stadt Nottingham verbundene Mäzen und Philanthrop Harry Djanogly beteiligt. Sky Mirror 1995 beauftragte das Nottingham Playhouse den indischen Künstler Anish Kapoor mit der Installation einer Skulptur für den Außenbereich des Theaters. Sky Mirror (= Himmelsspiegel) ist ein konkaver Spiegel aus rostfreiem Stahl mit einem Durchmesser von 6 Meter und einem Gewicht von rund 10 Tonnen. Der Bandstahl, der in Großbritannien hergestellt wurde, ist in Finnland durch ein Kaltschmiedeverfahren bearbeitet worden und erhielt in Wellingborough seine abschließende Politur, durch die der vollkommene Spiegeleffekt ermöglicht wurde. Für die Grundfläche, auf der der Spiegel installiert ist, wurden 140 Kubikmeter Beton und 10 Tonnen Betonstahl verbraucht. Sky Mirror wurde 2001 unter großem öffentlichen Interesse eingeweiht. Er zeigt auf seiner Oberfläche ein ständig wechselndes Bild des Himmels und die Stadtlandschaft, in die er installiert ist, die allerdings auf dem Kopf steht. Sky Mirror war die erste derartige Skulptur, die von Kapoor geschaffen wurde und der noch weitere Varianten folgen sollten. Weblinks Webseite Alistair Fair: Peter Moro.

Nottingham Royal Concert Hall

Nottingham Royal Concert Hall is a concert hall in the English city of Nottingham. It is owned by Nottingham City Council and is part of a complex that also includes the city's Theatre Royal. The Royal Concert Hall's striking modern architecture has proved to be a city landmark at the heart of Nottingham City Centre, opposite the more recently built The Cornerhouse complex. The concert hall is served by the adjacent Royal Centre tram stop on the Nottingham Express Transit. History The site of the Royal Concert Hall was previously the old 'Empire Palace of Varieties' designed and built in 1898 by Frank Matcham. The Empire closed for the last time in 1958 and was demolished for road-widening in 1969. Designed by the Renton Howard Wood Levin Partnership (architects of the Sheffield Crucible Theatre and Manchester's Bridgewater Hall), the hall cost £12 million to complete. The project's client was Nottingham City Council. Work on the Royal Concert Hall began in 1980 and was completed in 1982, providing Nottingham with a contemporary 2,499-seater auditorium. The first artist to perform there was Elton John in November 1982.
