Workhouse Museum

The Workhouse Museum is a museum in Ripon, a city in North Yorkshire, in England. In 1776, William Aislabie donated a house known as "Old Hall" for the use of the poor of Ripon. It was demolished and a new workhouse constructed on the site in 1855. In 1877, a block for vagrants was added. In 1953, it was renamed Sharow View, and remained open until 1974. The building was then used as offices for the North Yorkshire Social Services and Probation Services departments. In 1996, Ripon Museums Trust converted the gatehouse into a museum. It restored and opened the garden to the public in 2010, and then in 2017 acquired the main block of the workhouse, more than doubling the size of the museum. The main block and gatehouse are both grade II listed buildings. The main block is built of brown brick, with stone dressings, quoins, and a slate roof with coped gables on cut kneelers. There are two storeys and eleven bays, the middle three bays projecting under two shaped gables with finials. The flanking wings each has one smaller shaped gable with a smaller finial. The central doorway has a four-centred arched head and a projecting surround. The windows are a mix of sashes and casements. The gatehouse is built of red brick with stone dressings, quoins, a moulded string course, and a slate roof with coped gables. There are two storeys and three bays. In the centre is a carriage entry with a four-centred arch flanked by buttresses, above which is an inscribed and dated parapet. Over this is a three-light stepped mullioned window and a shaped gable. The other windows are casements. The main block is flanked by single-storey three-bay wings, the right wing extending towards the road. See also Listed buildings in Ripon References External links Official website

York Maze

York Maze is a maze constructed from maize located off the B1228 road near Elvington in England. History The maze is owned by former farmer Tom Pearce who had the idea to construct a maze after seeing an advert for a "maize maze". Pearce had been looking to diversity after his entire beef herd had to be killed due to bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Formerly located in Heslington, Pearce was required to vacate the land to make way for the third campus of the University of York. It was at this point that Pearce purchased the area of land where the maze is now sited. The maze opened at its current location in 2008. The maze was originally designed on paper and mapped out using sticks and string. In 2006, Pearce began using GPS to create the maze which made the process easier and allowed for more complex shapes.

Willis Corroon Building

Willis Corroon Building (dříve Willis Faber & Dumas Headquarters zkráceně Willis Faber Building) je administrativní budova v Ipswich ve Velké Británii ležící v ulici Friars Street. Byla postavena pro pojišťovací společnost Willis Faber & Dumas (dnes Willis Corroon). Architekty byli Norman Foster a Michael Hopkins, investorem byl Willis National Ltd. stavba probíhala v letech 1970–1975. Budova na výšku měří 21,5 metrů a je považovaná za jeden z mezníků stylu High-Tec. Administrativní budova Willis Faber & Dumas Headquarters je jednou z prvních realizací kanceláře Foster Associates, která vznikla po rozpadu Team 4. V roce 1990 dostala titul RIBA Architecture Awards Trust, Trustees Medal a byla označena za jednu z nejkrásnějších staveb navržených britským architektem za poslední čtvrtstoletí. Krom toho 25. dubna 1991 dostala jako nejmladší stavba v Británii postavení památkově chráněné budovy prvního stupně, což znamená, že už nikdy nemůže být stavebně upravovaná. Tvar budovy zapříčinil nepravidelný tvar stavebního pozemku v centru Ipswiche, který obklopuje hned několik rušných křižovatek. Na začátku bylo zvažováno více alternativ tvaru budovy. Věžovitá stavba byla ihned zamítnuta, jelikož by se vymykala charakteru města Iswich, které je celé nízkopodlažní. Celkem jednoznačně ze všech návrhů Fostera „zvítězila“ nižší trojpodlažní stavba. Budova je navržená pro 1300 zaměstnanců. Byla koncipovaná v duchu demokratizace a soudržnosti i na pracovišti. Dominantním prvkem interiéru budovy je její centrální lobby s eskalátory, vedoucích od vstupu až na střešní terasu. Toto jádro tvoří v budově prosklené atrium, kterým vniká do srdce Willisu velké množství světla, což bylo skutečně nutné, protože poschodí jsou velmi dlouhá. Na střeše se nachází restaurace se zahradou. Další z aktivit, která měla povzbuzovat „družný“ život zaměstnanců byl 25metrový plavecký bazén v přízemí budovy. Z důvodu malého využití byl bazén nakonec v 80. letech zavřený, překrytý podlahou a dnes slouží jako další kancelářský prostor. Díra pro bazén je však stále vidět díky skleněnému pásu zasazenému do podlahy. V prvním a druhém poschodí jsou open space kanceláře. Konstrukce 750 mm silných kazetových stropních desek spočívá na železobetonových sloupech, které tvoří čtverec o straně 14 metrů. Subtilnější nosné sloupy jdoucí po obvodě stavby jsou rozmístěné po 7 metrech. Okolo obvodu a schodišťového lobby jsou odhalené konzoly, které se zužují, čímž dodávají stropu na lehkosti a eleganci. Nosné sloupy (40 mm silná výztuž) mají v přízemí průměr jeden metr a v každém poschodí se jejich profil zužuje. V druhém a třetím poschodí je jejich průměr 800 mm a ve střešní části už jen 600 mm. Plášť je celý z kouřových skel. Ty mají zabraňovat přehřívání interiéru od slunce. Přes den skleněná fasáda odráží okolní budovy a v noci zase umožňuje pohled do interiéru.

Willis Building, Ipswich

The Willis Building (originally the Willis Faber & Dumas regional headquarters) is a Grade I listed office building in Ipswich, Suffolk, designed by Norman Foster and Wendy Cheesman after establishing Foster Associates. Constructed between 1970 and 1975 for the insurance firm now known as Willis Towers Watson, it is widely considered a landmark in the development of the 'high tech' architectural style. The building houses some 1,300 office staff in open-plan offices spread over three floors. Location The bulbous floor plan of the office block reflects the layout of the available site in the centre of Ipswich, which is sandwiched between several road junctions and the Grade I listed Unitarian Meeting House. Thus two of the town's Grade I listed buildings stand side by side. Design The centre of the building is constructed from a grid of concrete pillars, 14 m (46 ft) apart, supporting cantilevered concrete slab floors. The curtain wall exterior is clad in panels of dark smoked glass. The use of dark glass, a curtain wall and lack of right angle corners mirrors the art deco Express Building in Manchester, cited by Norman Foster as one of his favourite buildings and a design influence. The central escalator well leads up to a rooftop staff restaurant surrounded by a rooftop garden (360 panorama). The interior floors are green and the walls are painted yellow, inspired by the colours of the outside environment. The office had a ground-floor swimming pool that was covered over (but not filled in) in 1994 to provide more floor space. The former pool remains visible beneath the false floor. History The Willis Building was commissioned by John Roscoe, chairman of Willis, Faber & Dumas, in the early 1970s. The architectural firm of Norman Foster was selected after a shortlist was provided by the Royal Institute of British Architects. Foster's design, inspired by a glass-clad office building he had recently completed, featured innovative energy-conscious elements and open-plan floor spaces. The building was officially opened on June 2, 1975, by former Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. In 1991 the Willis building became the newest building to be given Grade I listed building status in Britain. At the time it was one of only two listed buildings under 30 years of age.

Edificio Willis Faber and Dumas

L'Edificio Willis di Ipswich, Inghilterra (originariamente chiamato Willis Faber and Dumas Headquarters) è una delle prime opere dell'architetto britannico Norman Foster dopo la costituzione dello studio associato Foster Associates. Realizzato tra il 1970 e il 1975, è considerato uno degli esempi dello stile architettonico high tech. Descrizione L'edificio fu commissionato dalla Willis, Faber & Dumas Ltd. (oggi Willis Towers Watson), una delle principali compagnie assicurative mondiali la cui sede era nella City a Londra nel contesto di un piano di riorganizzazione dei processi operativi e di decentramento dei reparti amministrativi. Per ospitare la nuova sede fu individuata la cittadina medievale di Ipswich a circa 70 miglia da Londra. La costruzione, alta tre piani, ospita circa 1300 persone in uffici open space con partizioni mobili che delimitano le aree di lavoro. Le scale mobili centrali portano dall'imponente hall di ingresso fino ad un ristorante collocato all'ultimo piano dell'edificio e circondato da un giardino pensile. Il perimetro dell'edificio si estende per circa 300 m nel contesto del centro di Ipswich e poco distante dal Unitarian Meeting House, uno degli edifici più antichi della città. La parte centrale dell'edificio è costituito da un insieme di pilastri di cemento distanti 14 metri che sostengono il pavimento in lastroni di cemento. L'esterno dell'edificio è ricoperto da vetri oscurati. Note Bibliografia Architectural Review n° 210 1254 Ago 2001 New in England: Uffici.

The Recreation Ground

The Recreation Ground (the Rec) est une grande enceinte située dans le centre de Bath à proximité de la rivière Avon utilisée pour des divertissements culturels par les habitants de la ville. Le stade est aussi utilisé (environ 27 % du temps) pour des manifestations sportives, principalement pour les matchs du club de rugby de Bath Rugby. Pendant l'été, la tribune est du stade est enlevée afin d'accueillir deux matchs du Somerset County Cricket Club à l'occasion du Bath Cricket Festival. Le pavillon de cricket se situe à l'entrée côté William Street. La partie est du stade est aussi utilisée par le club de Hockey de Bath. Au cours de son histoire, le stade a été inondé plusieurs fois par la rivière Avon, et malgré des travaux entrepris depuis les années soixante pour éviter les débordements de la rivière, le stade reste très boueux après de fortes pluies.

Magdalen Hill Down

Magdalen Hill Down is a chalk downland hill, situated 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to the east of the centre of the city of Winchester in the English county of Hampshire. It is crossed by the B3404 road, the old main road from Winchester to London via New Alresford and Guildford. Most of the land to the south of the road is now a reserve run by the Butterfly Conservation, but part of it is used by the Magdalen Hill Cemetery, Winchester's principal cemetery. The land to the north of the road is largely farmed, but is also home to St Swithun's School and Leigh House Hospital. The down lies in the Winchester district, mostly within the parish of Chilcomb. At its highest point, the down reaches 124 metres (407 ft) above mean sea level. History The down contains a set of Bronze Age barrows, which are situated to the south of the road, and are designated as a scheduled monument. This includes a linear arrangement of five bowl barrows extending over a distance of approximately 85 metres (279 ft) with the ground sloping steeply below them to the south. In the mediaeval period, Magdalen Hill Down was home to St Mary Magdalen's leprosarium, or leprosy hospital, which was situated to the north-eastern end of the site and was established in the 12th century. This was remodelled in the 14th century, but was largely demolished in the 16th century to make way for brick-built almshouses, although the medieval chapel survived. The almshouses were used as military accommodation during the English Civil War, and again to house prisoners of war from the Anglo-Dutch wars of the 1660s and 1670s. In the 1780s the buildings were demolished leaving no above ground remains in what is now farmland, although subsequent excavation has revealed their location. In 1914, Magdalen Hill Cemetery opened on the down. Towards the end of the First World War, an extensive military camp, known as Morn Hill Camp and housing 50,000 to 70,000 troops, was created on the down. The camp was largely occupied by American Expeditionary Forces, who were in transit to the Western Front. It was linked to Winchester by a branch off the short-lived Avington railway line, specifically built to serve the camps in the area. By 1989 much of the site had become heavily invaded by scrub, but because the fields had never been ploughed or had chemical fertilisers or pesticides used on them, they preserved a rich variety of wild flowers and the butterflies that feed on them. As a result and in that year, the Butterfly Conservation acquired a part of the down, since expanded twice, for use as a butterfly reserve.

Magdalen Hill Cemetery

Magdalen Hill Cemetery, also known as Morn Hill Cemetery, is a cemetery principally serving the burial requirements of the unparished area of the city of Winchester but located on Magdalen Hill Down in the adjoining civil parish of Chilcomb. It is owned and managed by Winchester City Council and is a Grade II listed Historic Park and Garden. History Up until the early years of the 20th century, Winchester's principal burial ground was the privately run West Hill Cemetery to the west of the city centre. However, by 1906 this was almost full and in financial difficulties. The Winchester City Burial Board were tasked with coming up with a site for a new cemetery, and a 20 acres (8.1 ha) site at the eastern end of Magdalen Hill Down was chosen. The site lay outside the then boundaries of the city of Winchester, and was owned by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. After acquisition of the land and several iterations of proposed layout, the cemetery was opened at the end of 1914. During the First World War, the area around Magdalen Hill Down was occupied by an extensive military camp. This was largely used by members of the American Expeditionary Forces, and over 500 American servicemen were interred in the cemetery. However most of these were removed from the cemetery and returned to the United States after the end of the war. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission still tends 37 First World War burials in the cemetery, together with 65 from the Second World War. Initially only the northern section of the site was laid-out and used, but after 1932 the burials were extended into the southern section. in 1974, the then city council merged with adjoining rural areas to create the City of Winchester, covering a much larger area than the traditional city boundaries. However it was agreed that, in the rural areas, burials would continue to be a parish responsibility, and that Magdalen Hill Cemetery would serve only the unparished original city area. In 2015, planning permission was granted to extend the cemetery on land acquired to the east of the existing cemetery, and the resulting extension was consecrated in 2017. References
West Hill Cemetery, Winchester

West Hill Cemetery is a cemetery to the west of the city centre of Winchester in the English county of Hampshire. Opened in the 1840s, the cemetery became the principal place of burial for the city. However by the 1900s it was almost full, and the Magdalen Hill Cemetery, to the east of the city, opened in 1914 as a replacement. The cemetery comprises 13 acres (5.3 ha) of land. The grade II listed perimeter wall, which fronts onto St James' Lane and Sparkford Road, includes red brick piers with stone caps and wrought iron railings and gates. The cemetery formerly had two chapels, one for the Church of England and the second for other denominations, together with a gate lodge. Both chapels were demolished in the 1920s, but the gate lodge still stands. The cemetery contains the grave of Charles Freeman, a circus entertainer and bare-knuckle boxer known as the "American Giant", who died of tuberculosis in Winchester in 1845. His grave is marked by a 10 ft (3.0 m) high stone obelisk erected in 1860. The cemetery also contains war graves from World War I (115) and World War II (4). Initially run by the Winchester Cemetery Company, which was established by an act of Parliament, the Winchester Cemetery Act 1840 (3 & 4 Vict. c. viii), the cemetery has been managed by Winchester City Council since 1958, and is now closed for burials. It is managed to allow its chalk downland to flourish as a habitat for insects and reptiles. A footpath across the cemetery provide access to the adjacent University of Winchester. References
Yorkshire Sculpture Park

The Yorkshire Sculpture Park je galerie soch pod širým nebem v hrabství Yorkshire, situovaná v parku blízko vesnice West Bretton v okrsku Wakefield, na hranici West Yorkshire a South Yorkshire. Historie Galerie byla založena v roce 1977 a vystavuje sochy britských i světových umělců, včetně Barbary Hepworth. Vlastní jednu z největších kolekcí soch Henry Moora v Evropě. Založení sochařského parku předcházela série výstav v londýnských parcích od roku 1940 do 70. let., které organizoval Arts Council England a London County Council. Park má návštěvnické centrum, 500 akrů výstavních ploch a je přístupný zdarma. Od roku 1990 jsou zde i menší uzavřené galerie (Bothy Gallery, podzemní galerie Bothy garden), výstavní prostory v dřívější jezdecké aréně Longside a dočasný prostor podobný stanu – Pavilion Gallery. Do roku 2007 patřily pozemky Univerzitě v Leedsu, od níž je odkoupil Wakefield Council. V současné době probíhá revitalizace celé okolní krajiny včetně historických staveb a vodních ploch. Yorkshire Sculpture Park leží v blízkosti dalších významných muzeí a galerií – The Hepworth Wakefield, the Henry Moore Institute and Leeds Art Gallery a spolu s nimi reprezentuje více než 200 umělců. Ročně ho navštíví 300 000 zájemců. Sochaři Sochařský park uspořádal autorské výstavy britských umělců, kteří byli populární v 50. a 60. letech a poté upadli do zapomnění (Lynn Chadwick, Austin Wright, Phillip King, Eduardo Paolozzi, Hans Josephsohn, Kenneth Armitage.)
