Kingsmead, Bath
Kingsmead is an electoral ward within Bath, England, which encompasses most of Bath city centre and stretches west along the A4 to meet Newbridge and Weston wards. The ward elects two councillors to the Bath and North East Somerset unitary authority. Kingsmead is rarely used as the name of an area of Bath, and is primarily used for electoral purposes. The ward stretches about westward from Bath city centre, straddling the A4 road north of the River Avon. The ward is separated by the large Royal Victoria Park into a city centre eastern end, and a western residential end known as Lower Weston. A boundary review in 2018, which came into force at the May 2019 local elections, abolished Abbey ward and extended Kingsmead eastwards as far as the Avon to include most of the city centre. At the same time the ward's western extent was slightly reduced, in order to move the Chelsea Road shopping street wholly into Newbridge ward. Residents in the western end of the ward often use t ...

Kingsmead Square, Bath
Kingsmead Square in Bath, Somerset, England was laid out by John Strahan in the 1730s. Many of the houses are listed buildings. History The square was originally the junction of a number of routes entering the West Gate of the medieval city. In 1727 John Strahan started a large scale Georgian expansion in this area of pasture owned by St John's Hospital. The West Gate was demolished in the 1760s, enlarging the road junction. In 1902 the square became part of a Bath Tramways route. In 1925 a street widening scheme to tackle traffic congestion established the modern street lines of the square. During and after World War II the square became run down. In the mid-1970s the south terrace was restored, saving it from demolition, and starting a revival of the area. In the 1990s, investment in street furniture and on the square, further revived the square, making it an attractive location for cafés. In September 2018 Bath and North East Somerset Council initiated an informal cons ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

King's Mead Priory
King's Mead Priory was a Benedictine Priory situated west of Derby, in the area currently known as Nun's Street, or Nun's Green. It was the only Benedictine Nunnery in Derbyshire. The Priory was dedicated to "St Mary de Pratis": ''St Mary of the Meadows''. It became a popular place for Derbyshire's noble families to send their daughters to be educated. History King's Mead Priory was founded c. 1160 by Abbot Albinus of nearby Darley Abbey; it was located a mile from Darley Abbey, West of Derby: "in a meadow by the side of the Oddebrook". It was placed under the abbot's care by Walter Durdent who was then Bishop of Coventry. Excavations during development work in the early 19th century revealed the location had previously been the location of a Roman (or less likely Saxon) baths; however it's unclear what, if anything, remained when the priory was founded. The priory was home to a convent of Benedictine Nuns: it was dedicated to "St. Mary de Pratis" and was under the control of ...
