# St Mary's Church, Whittall Street, Birmingham

St Mary's was a Church of England parish church in Whittall Street, Birmingham, England.

## History

St. Mary's Church was built in 1774, under an Act of 1772, on Catharine Street (later renamed Whittall Street), then on the northern edge of the town of Birmingham, as a chapel of ease to St Martin in the Bull Ring. The building was designed by Joseph Pickford. It was named to mark the donation of the land on which it stood, and £1,000 of its £4,500 building costs, by Mary Weaman.
Two years after opening, part of a gallery collapsed during a service, but the incident did not result in any injuries. Cast iron columns were added, to support the rebuilt galleries.
William Hutton, in the second edition of his An History of Birmingham (1783) wrote:
   Though the houses for divine worship were multiplied in Birmingham, yet the inhabitants increased in a greater proportion; so that in 1772 an act was obtained for two additional chapels. St. Mary's, therefore, was erected in 1774 [St Paul’s was the other.], in the octagon form, not overcharged with light nor strength; in an airy situation and taste, but shews too little steeple, and too much roof. If a light balustrade was raised over the parapet, with an urn in the centre of the roof, the eye of the observer would be relieved. The clock was seldom seen to go right, but the wonder ceases if there are NO WORKS within.
In 1786 John Wesley attended a service and heard a sermon by the first incumbent Edward Burn.
A parish was assigned to St. Mary's in 1841 out of St Martin in the Bull Ring.
In 1859, 15 women (of a total of 19), who had died in an explosion at Messrs Pursall and Philips Percussion Cap Manufactory, also in Whittall Street, were interred in a single vault in the church.
Structural problems were discovered in 1866 and the tower and spire were subsequently rebuilt in a Gothic style. A further rebuilding took place some time later.
In 1925 the church was closed pending demolition, for the expansion of Birmingham General Hospital. The parish was united with that of Bishop Ryder Church. The proceeds of the sale of the land went to build St Mary's Church, at Pype Hayes.
Its registers of baptisms (1774–1812) and burials (1779–1812) are at St. Martin's. Its silver communion service is at St. Mary's, except for two flagons which are in the collection of Birmingham Assay Office. A tablet commemorating William Thompson, formerly in the church, and now in St Martin in the Bull Ring, reads:
   In memory of the Rev. William Thompson, who was the first President of the Wesleyan Methodist Conference. He died May 1st, 1799, and was buried in the vaults of this Church.
The site is now occupied by Waterfall House. A thoroughfare at the north-west side of the site is still called St Mary's Row.

# Parsloes Manor

Parsloes Manor was a manor house in what is now known as Parsloes Park in Dagenham in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.
In 1585, it was described as containing 10 messuages, a cottage, 10 gardens, 2 orchards, 100 acres of arable land, 20 acres of meadow, 50 of pasture 30 of wood and 40 rent.
In 1619, William Fanshawe purchased the house and 91 acres attached to it for £1150 from Edward Osborne. The house was owned by the Fanshawe family for over 300 years.
In 1819, it was enlarged, the walls were faced with new brick and the windows were replaced in a neo-gothic manner. The house fell into disrepair and was demolished in 1925.
# St Katherine Coleman

St Katherine Coleman was a parish church in the City of London, situated in St Katherine's Row, on the south side of Fenchurch Street, in Aldgate Ward. Of medieval origin, it narrowly escaped destruction in the Great Fire of London in 1666, but was rebuilt in the eighteenth century. The church closed in November 1926 and was demolished soon afterwards.

## Dedication

The church was dedicated to St Catherine of Alexandria. The additional name "Coleman" was taken from nearby garden called "Colemanhaw". St Katherine's was known earlier as "All Hallows Coleman-church."

## History
### Medieval church

The church was in existence by 1346, when the name of a rector is recorded. In about 1489, William White, then Lord Mayor, rebuilt or added the south aisle. There were repairs in 1620, and in 1624 a new gallery was constructed and a vestry added. There were further repairs in 1703. As described by Edward Hatton in 1708, the church was 66 feet (20 m) long, 36 feet (11 m) wide and 23 feet (7.0 m) ft high. There was a brick and stone tower about 60 feet (18 m) high, with three bells. Hatton describes the architecture of the church as being "of the Gothic and Tuscan orders".

### Eighteenth-century rebuilding

St Katherine's was demolished in 1734, and rebuilt in 1741 at the expense of the parish, to a "vernacular palladian" design by James Horne. Never regarded as one of the more spectacular City churches, the new building was constructed of brick, with window and door surrounds of rusticated stonework. The interior was a plain room, with a flat ceiling, coved at the sides, ornamented with a single oval panel, with a flower at the centre. An arched recess at the east end accommodated the reredos. Beneath the church was a burial vault, entered through a door at the west end.

### Demolition

The parish was designated for amalgamation under the Union of Benefices Act 1860 but the church remained in use until 1926. The final service was held on 20 November, a joyous occasion (as reported in the City Press) after which it was quickly demolished. The gate piers and railings of the churchyard, which probably date from the 18th century survive, and the site of the churchyard itself is now a public garden, owned by Lloyd's Register. It was re-landscaped in 1996–2000. After the clearance of the graveyard, the burials were reinhumed at City of London Cemetery.
Money raised by the sale of the site was used to erect a new church in Hammersmith, initially called St Catherine Coleman, but now known as St Katherine Westway. The marble font from the City church is now at St Peter's, Grange Park, Enfield.
# Opera House, Sydney

Long before the famous Sydney Opera House on Bennelong Point, the city of Sydney, Australia, had several entertainment venues described as "opera houses".

## Sydney Opera House (1879–1900)

Built in 1879 on land owned by I. J. Josephson and opened as Kelly and Leon's Opera House for the New York minstrel company of that name, it was situated on King Street near the York Street intersection; a number of smaller buildings at the corner of Pitt Street and York Street being demolished to make way for the grand building. The architects were Backhouse & Sons. When Kelly and Leon's lease expired their name was dropped and the venue was advertised for lease.
It reopened as "Sydney Opera House" in September 1880 and for much of the 1880s was under the management of W. J. Wilson (father of Frank Hawthorne), who was joined by Eduardo Majeroni in 1884.
In February 1900 the orchestra struck for payment of arrears in wage payments and rather than concede, the management closed the theatre. By this time owned by Percy Josephson, it became a warehouse for W. and A. McArthur, Ltd. and was demolished in 1927. Construction on the Grace Building started at the site in 1928.
Some successes were:
* The Doctor of Alcantara, played by Kelly and Leon 1879–1880
* The Guv'nor and Chawles played by Fred Marshall's Comedy Company.
* Boccaccio played by Emilie Melville's Opera Company
* Il Trovatore and Mignon played by The Montague Turner Company.
* Patience played by the Royal Comic Opera Co.
* The Strategist and The Candidate played by the Polks
* Manola, Les Manteaux Noirs, and The King's Dragoons played by the Dunning Opera Co.
* Diplomacy, The Woman in White, and The Squire played by Wybert Reeve in 1883.
* The Country Girl, The Busybody, and The School for Scandal played by Marie de Grey in 1884
* Jo and The Grasshopper played by Jennie Lee
* Mammon, The Queen's Favorite, and Forget-Me-Not, played by Genevieve Ward, W. H. Vernon and Roland Watts-Phillips in 1885
* The Life of an Actress George W. Anson
* Jem the Penman Harry St. Maur and Agnes Thomas in 1886
* My Sweetheart played by Minnie Palmer
* Ingomar and Romeo and Juliet played by Essie Jenyns
* Hide and Seek played by Walter Craven in 1887
* Fedora and Marie Antoinette played by The Majeronis
Fayette, a new opera due to open on 17 February 1900, never opened.
# Arsala Rahmani Daulat

Arsalan Rahmani Daulat (died 13 May 2012) was selected to serve in the Meshrano Jirga, the upper house of Afghanistan's national assembly, in 2005 and 2010. He was appointed a Deputy Minister for Higher Education under the Taliban, in 1998. The United Nations Security Council issued Security Council Resolution 1267 in 1999, which listed senior Taliban members. The United Nations requested member states to freeze the financial assets of those individuals. He was one of the individuals who were sanctioned. He was also one of the four former Taliban leaders that accepted the reconciliation offer from the Afghan government. He was also named deputy leader of Khuddamul Furqan for political affairs.
In September 2010 Hamid Karzai named him as one of the seventy members of the Afghan High Peace Council. The Peace Council's mandate was to open negotiations with moderate elements of the Taliban, and convince them to abandon violence and participate in the political process. On 16 July 2011 the United Nations Security Council dropped his name, and that of thirteen other former members of the Taliban, from the list under the UNSC resolution 1267. On 13 May 2012, Daulat was shot dead in his car by assassins in his native Kabul.
# Mannings Folly

Mannings Folly was a three-storey building located on the corner of Pakenham Street and Short Street, in Fremantle, Western Australia. It was erected in 1858 by Charles Alexander Manning as a hostel for Indian army officers and civil servants. The building was subsequently used as the Manning's private residence.
Manning, earlier a trader, was a chairman of the Fremantle Town Trust (1859-1867), and he lived in the building until he died in 1869. Manning was a passionate amateur astronomer
It was a prominent three-storey building on the Fremantle townscape, in the era that it existed.
A customs and shipping agent, John MacKnight, used the building between 1914 and 1924. It was demolished in May 1928, following a decision by the City of Fremantle to approve the demolition in March that year. It was replaced by a substantial warehouse.
The top of the folly was used by early photographers to capture images of parts of Fremantle and Fremantle Harbour.
It is currently the site of Quest Apartments.
# Rolleston Hall

Rolleston Hall was a country house in Rolleston-on-Dove, Staffordshire. Originally built in the early 17th century for Sir Edward Mosley, it had been substantially renovated after a fire in 1871. It was the seat of the Mosley family until the house was demolished in 1928.

## History

A house had stood on the Rolleston site, owned by the de Rolleston family, since the early 13th century. In 1622, the estate was purchased by Sir Edward Mosley, Attorney-General of the Duchy of Lancaster, who wished to escape from the "dark satanic mills" of Manchester to the elegant Staffordshire countryside. He replaced a wooden house with a stone-built one and died unmarried in 1638 after which the property passed to his nephew Sir Edward Mosley, 1st Baronet, and in turn to his son, Sir Edward Mosley, 2nd Baronet. During the English Civil War, King Charles I and his army came into Staffordshire and Royalist soldiers were quartered at Rolleston.
Rolleston Hall later devolved to Oswald Mosley (High Sheriff of Staffordshire for 1715), who was created a baronet (the second creation of the title) in 1720. The property then passed down to John Parker Mosley, who was also created a baronet (the third creation of the title) in 1781.
During the ownership of Sir Tonman Mosley, 3rd Baronet, in 1871 the hall was devastated by fire and subsequently rebuilt to a higher standard. The last Mosley to be connected with Rolleston Hall was Sir Oswald Mosley, the 6th Baronet and well-known founder of the British Union of Fascists (BUF). He was the Labour MP for Harrow from 1918 to 1924 and for Smethwick from 1926 to 1931. The estate however was sold in his father's lifetime in 1923 and after unsuccessful efforts to sell the hall it was largely demolished in 1928. Some remnants were converted into flats.
The GWR Hall Class locomotive 5973 "Rolleston Hall" was named after the house.
# West India Docks railway station

West India Docks was a railway station in Limehouse, east London, that was opened by the Commercial Railway (later the London and Blackwall Railway) in 1840. It was situated between Limehouse and Millwall Junction stations, 2 miles 35 chains (3.9 km) down-line from Fenchurch Street. As the name implies, the station served the West India Docks, though it was located on the north side of the northernmost of the three docks; the LBR was later extended to a new Millwall Docks station to serve the other two docks.
West India Docks station opened on 6 July 1840. It was closed to passenger service on 4 May 1926, along with the rest of the LBR east of Stepney. The station, including its timber platforms, was demolished in 1931-34 and today no trace of it remains, and the surrounding area has been heavily redeveloped. The station was located at the junction of Garford Street and West India Dock Road, west of the modern-day Aspen Way. The Docklands Light Railway line between Westferry and West India Quay runs through the station site, although the viaduct it runs on has been completely rebuilt.
# Her Majesty's Theatre, Sydney

Her Majesty's Theatre, Sydney, Australia, refers to three theatres of the same name none of which remain standing. They were located in central Sydney on either Pitt Street or Quay Street.

## History
### First theatre (1887–1933)

The original Her Majesty's had its origin in the partnership of James Allison and George Rignold, lessees of Adelaide's Theatre Royal and the Melbourne Opera House. They secured a long lease on a site in Pitt Street, Sydney, and formed a company for the purpose of founding a theatre. The theatre was designed by architects Gustavus Alphonse Morell and John Edward Kemp.
The foundation stone was laid by Sydney mayor Thomas Playfair in December 1884. The opening play was Henry V, and lessee Rignold was the lead player. The Governor of New South Wales, Lord Carrington, attended the opening night, arriving with his wife in a carriage, with a military escort. Rignold held the lease for eight years, his final production was Cloncarty on 21 September 1895. For a short period, Alfred Woods leased the theatre, then J. C. Williamson and George Musgrove took over in 1896.
In early 1902, Sydney was undergoing sporadic outbreaks of the bubonic plague, which threatened the theatre and surrounding businesses with closure. On Sunday 23 March 1902, after a performance of Ben Hur and after the theatre had been disinfected, a fire broke out at around 6am. The asbestos safety curtain failed to operate and the interior of Her Majesty's, including the expensive props and costumes, was destroyed. The only victim of the fire was a woman inside a neighbouring bakery who died when the theatre's wall collapsed onto her.
The theatre re-opened on 1 August 1903, replaced by a new four-storey building on the Market Street site and a new Edwardian style interior on the Pitt Street side behind the original facade designed by architect William Pitt. Financial pressures from a new amusement tax, competition from the new talking movies and the economic climate led to the closure of the theatre on 10 June 1933. The last performance was The Maid of the Mountains, starring Gladys Moncrieff. Bulldozers moved in the next day and demolished the theatre. A Woolworths retail store opened on the site 22 March 1934 and where Westfield Sydney stands today.

### Second theatre (1927–1970)

The second theatre, originally named the Empire Theatre, was located in Quay Street, at the Bijou Lane corner. It opened with the show Sunny on 26 February 1927. When J. C. Williamson's wanted a long run for My Fair Lady, they renamed it to Her Majesty's Thratre on 21 May 1960. The theatre barely survived the 1960s and was destroyed by fire on 31 July 1970.

### Third theatre (1973–2001)

The third theatre was also located on Quay Street, Haymarket, at No. 107 (near Central Station). It opened on 30 November 1973 and closed in 2001 but is no longer standing. Apartments have been built on the site.

## Depictions
