Kippax, West Yorkshire
Kippax is a village and civil parish in the City of Leeds metropolitan borough, West Yorkshire, England. It is situated to the east of the city, near to Garforth and Great Preston. The Kippax and Methley ward of Leeds City Council was part of the former UK Parliament constituency of Elmet, which became Elmet and Rothwell at the 2010 UK general election. The population of Kippax parish at the 2011 Census was 9,785. Kippax was a separate civil parish, in Tadcaster Rural District, until 1939, when it was annexed to Garforth. It re-acquired civil parish status and a parish council on 1 April 2004. History The name ''Kippax'' is of Anglo-Saxon origin and is first attested as ''Chipesch'' in the ''Domesday Book'' of 1086, and as "Kippeys" in charters from the 1090s to the 1270s, and ''Kypask'' and ''Kypax'' from the 13th century onwards. The placename seems to be composed of an Anglo-Saxon personal name ''Cippa'' (with initial ʃ- suggested by the Domesday Book form) or ''Cyppa'' ( ...

Kippax Centre
Kippax Fair is a shopping centre in the western Canberra suburb of Holt, Australian Capital Territory, Australia. Named after cricketer Alan Kippax, it serves the West Belconnen region, and is anchored by a Woolworths Supermarket, an Aldi discount supermarket, and other stores, restaurants, cafeterias, bars, and community services. History In 1974, as the region of West Belconnen was slowly emerging, an approach was made by the ACT Government to build a sizeable shopping centre on a large plot of land neighbouring the Parkwood industrial estate. Its original design was to encompass one indoor shopping complex and two outdoor strip malls, now housing the majority of the centre's north-eastern wing. It opened in March 1976. In the late 1980s, with the area population growing steadily and competition arising from the newly opened Belconnen Mall (now Westfield Belconnen), development began on the area now housing Woolworths, as well as building another strip mall on Kippax Place, ...

Kippax Plantation
Kippax Plantation was located on the south bank of the Appomattox River in what is today the City of Hopewell in southeast Virginia. Kippax Plantation was the home of Colonel Robert Bolling (1646–1709). Bolling married Jane Rolfe, who was the granddaughter of Pocahontas and John Rolfe. Their only child, John Bolling was born at Kippax in 1676, and settled nearby at Cobbs Plantation, just west of Point of Rocks across the Appomattox River in what is now Chesterfield County. While Jane's father Thomas Rolfe (1615–1675) never lived at Kippax Plantation, it is believed that he was buried there, as were Robert and Jane. Kippax Plantation is considered to be a well-preserved archaeological site that is also well documented. Archaeologist Donald W. Linebaugh, of the University of Kentucky, located the remains of Col. Bolling's house in Hopewell, Virginia in 2002. Most of the current digging is performed at the site of the unearthed residence. Research by graduate students from ...

The Kippax
The Kippax was one of the best known and vocally active terraced stands at Manchester City's Maine Road ground. Originally named the "Popular Side" when the stadium opened in 1923, its name was changed in 1956 when the club gained planning permission to build a roof to shield fans from the rain. It was named after Kippax Street which ran along this side of the ground. The Kippax was unique in being a terrace which ran the length of one side of the pitch rather than being located behind one of the two goals, as was more common at the time. In the summer of 1994, due to the Taylor Report which was released in the wake of the Hillsborough disaster, the Kippax was demolished and a new all seater stand was built in its place. This new stand was completed in stages over the course of eighteen months and was finally opened by City legend Bert Trautmann Bernhard Carl "Bert" Trautmann EK OBE BVO (22 October 1923 – 19 July 2013) was a German professional footballer who played as a ...

Alan Kippax
Alan Falconer Kippax (25 May 1897 – 5 September 1972) was a cricketer for New South Wales (NSW) and Australia. Regarded as one of the great stylists of Australian cricket during the era between the two World Wars, Kippax overcame a late start to Test cricket to become a regular in the Australian team between the 1928–29 and 1932–33 seasons. A middle-order batsman, he toured England twice, and at domestic level was a prolific scorer and a highly considered leader of NSW for eight years. To an extent, his Test figures did not correspond with his great success for NSW and he is best remembered for a performance in domestic cricket—a world record last wicket partnership, set during a Sheffield Shield match in 1928–29. His career was curtailed by the controversial ''Bodyline'' tactics employed by England on their 1932–33 tour of Australia; Kippax wrote a book denouncing the tactics after the series concluded. Kippax was an "impeccably correct and elegant ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Peter Kippax
Peter John Kippax (15 October 1940 – January 2017) was an English first-class cricketer who played for Yorkshire, Durham and Northumberland. A right-handed batsman and leg spin bowler, he played five first-class matches but they spanned twenty six years. Life Kippax was born in Huddersfield, educated at Bedford Modern School, and made his debut in 1961 for Yorkshire, and yet played his last first-class match, for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), in 1987. Kippax played three times in his debut season of 1961, against Sussex, Leicestershire and Kent and once in 1962 against the touring Pakistani team. The Yorkshire team, about to begin their domination of the County Championship during the 1960s were well served with spinners such as Ray Illingworth and Don Wilson, and had little room for Kippax's leg spinners. After his rejection by Yorkshire he turned his attention to the leagues and, from 1975 to 1990, Minor Counties cricket with Durham. Fifteen years after his last ...

John Kippax
John Kippax (1915-1974) was the pen name of English science fiction writer John Charles Hynam, author of many short stories and the ''Venturer Twelve'' series of space opera novels (most in collaboration with Dan Morgan). Hynam was killed on the afternoon of 17 July 1974 when a lorry hit his car at Werrington, a few miles outside Peterborough. He left a wife, Phyl, and a daughter, Jennifer - who a week later gave birth to his first grandchild, a son, an event which he was awaiting with eager anticipation. In the postscript to "Where No Stars Guide", published posthumously in 1975, Hynam's literary collaborator and close personal friend Dan Morgan wrote: "John had a larger-than-life physical and psychic presence. Likeable, eccentric, egocentric, kind, brusque, take your pick from the thesaurus to describe him, he was all of these and more. A man of enormous enthusiasms, he died as lived, at full speed".Dan Morgan, postscript to John Kippax, "Where No Stars Guide", Pan Books, Londo ...
