A former school at Parkside off Stourbridge Road in Bromsgrove called Parkside School.
These days Parkside is occupied by two NHS surgeries - St Johns Surgery and Churchfields Surgery.
It was raining when I took these.
At this point I didn't know if I'd be able to get a full shot of the schools exterior.
A Grade II listed building.
666/0/10059 STOURBRIDGE ROAD
21-NOV-08 Parkside School
II
Secondary school, designed in 1909 by A.V.Rowe with G.H.Gadd as executant architect and opened in April 1912. Later, C20 additions and alterations. The building is of red brick with ashlar dressings and a plain tiled roof. It has two storeys with attic and basement and its principal facade is designed in an Edwardian Baroque style.
EXTERIOR: The principal entrance front faces onto Stourbridge Road, has twenty-one bays and is symmetrically arranged. All windows are sashes and almost all have key stones, with cambered heads to the ground floor windows and straight heads to the first floor. There are gabled projections, each of three bays, between the fifth to the seventh bays and the fifteenth to the seventeenth bays. These projections have quoins to the corners and in each case the ground and first floor windows of the central bay is treated as a unified composition with a large-scale, aedicular surround. In each case the first floor window has an arched top which projects into the gable and there is an oculus to the gable apex set in a richly moulded cartouche. The central bay has a frontispiece with channelled rustication and triple keystones to the arched door and window openings. Behind this central feature, on the ridge is a timber and lead bellcote with louvred openings to the sides and miniature pediments. A prominent, bracketed cornice runs along the front and continues over the large arched windows at the centre (where it forms an arched pediment) and at either side, beneath the gables. At either side of this lengthy facade are further, two-bay blocks with hipped roofs, added in the first half of the C20 which are on line with the façade. Link corridors, which connect them to the side doors of the main block, have had changing rooms added to their road flanks in the later-C20. Beyond these again, and also on line, are two free-standing bike sheds built of red brick in garden wall bond with pantile roofs and four bays to their inner faces divided by Tuscan pillars. These also appear to have been added in the first half of the C20.
The rear of the building has to the centre at first floor level four prominent arched windows which light the library. To either side of these are shallow wings. These have gabled heads and four bays to the ground and first floors with cambered heads to the windows. To the gables are stone dressings and occuli which have lattice glazing. Beyond these are paired staircase windows, falling to mezzanine level, below which are keyed occuli.
Attached at the centre of the rear by a corridor link with arched windows is the school hall which appears from the evidence of maps to have been rebuilt or enlarged in the first half of the C20. This has six windows to each flank. The later-C20 gymnasium is attached at the west of this.
HISTORY: The building lies close to the centre of Bromsgrove, near to the church of St. John the Baptist. The land on which the school stands is recorded on early Ordnance Survey maps as being called `Churchfields' and its specific site was formerly used as a cricket ground. Bromsgrove secondary School was established in 1905 and shared premises with the School of Science and Art and the Bromsgrove Institute. There were initially fifty-four pupils, but by 1912 this had grown to one hundred and a new, purpose-built school was needed. The design for the present building was made in 1909 by A.Vernon Rowe, County Advisory Architect and was carried out under the supervision of G.H.Gadd, a local Bromsgrove architect. The building was opened by Lady Coventry on 18th April 1912 and continued to operate as a school until its closure in 2008. The principal range, facing onto Stourbridge Road, was extended, apparently in the first part of the C20, by the addition of pavilion wings to either side which were later joined to the main block by single-storey corridors, and by bicycle sheds. The hall range to the rear also appears to have been re-built or extended at the same time.

I took the subway up to the Bronx on Monday to check out the place I went to high school between 1969 to 1972. Not a whole lot of great memories here. I guess high school is a difficult experience for everyone. This was a place of suppression, control, tamping down. I even got suspended a couple of times. But the last laugh is mine. All the people who tormented me when I was a high school student are dead now (I checked). There's no one here anymore with any recollection of my past. I'm sure somewhere in there is some kind of record of my three years in this place. Maybe not. What's the statute of limitations on high school records? Onward..

Elwood L. Robinson, Provost and Vice-President for Academic Affairs at Cambridge College in Massachusetts since 2012, has been elected Chancellor of Winston-Salem State University by the Board of Governors of the 17-campus University of North Carolina. UNC President Tom Ross placed Robinson's name in nomination today (September 26) during a special meeting of the board, held on the campus of WSSU. Robinson, 58, will assume his new duties January 1, 2015, succeeding Donald J. Reaves, who announced last spring that he would step down as Chancellor on December 31 after eight years in the post.
In recommending Robinson to the Board of Governors, Ross said: "I am thrilled at the opportunity to bring a talented North Carolinian back home. Elwood Robinson is going to be a phenomenal leader for Winston-Salem State University. He brings to the job a real passion for higher education and three decades of progressive leadership experience as a faculty mentor, department chair, dean, and provost. Much of that experience was gained at North Carolina Central University, his alma mater. He is a proven leader who promotes innovation, collaboration and an unwavering commitment to academic excellence and student success. He also understands WSSUâs proud history and its potential to play an even larger role in the life of this city and this state, so I am delighted he has agreed to join our leadership team."
Cambridge College is a private, not-for-profit institution offering undergraduate, graduate, professional degree and certificate programs through schools of Undergraduate Studies, Education, Management and Psychology & Counseling. Geared toward working adults, most courses are taught evenings and weekends, with many blending onsite and online components. It enrolls more than 5,000 students across its main Cambridge campus and seven regional academic centers in Massachusetts, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, California and Puerto Rico.
As Cambridge Collegeâs chief academic officer, Robinson has advised the president on matters of educational policy and the development of teaching and academic programs. He also has managed the school's academic planning and program reviews and overseen its regional academic centers. Under his watch, the teacher education program has achieved national accreditation and the College has forged an innovative partnership with Granite State College in New Hampshire to offer online programs â the first private/state partnership of its kind in New England. In addition, the American Council on Education has awarded Cambridge a grant to establish an Innovation and Change Lab designed to increase the number of first-generation and nontraditional students earning college degrees.
A native of Ivanhoe, NC, Robinson graduated magna cum laude from North Carolina Central University in 1978 with a degree in psychology and then earned a masterâs degree in the field from Fisk University in Tennessee (1980). After completing a pre-doctoral internship at Duke University Medical Center, performing rotations in neuropsychology, psychiatric inpatient and behavioral medicine and health psychology, he earned a doctorate in clinical psychology from Pennsylvania State University (1986). He later completed his clinical training as a research associate at Duke University Medical Center (1990-1993).
Robinson joined the faculty of NCCU in 1984. In 1993, he was named Director of the Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) Program, which provides research training opportunities for students and faculty from minority groups underrepresented in the biomedical sciences. He directed the federally funded program for the next 11 years, establishing collaborations with several major research universities, expanding course offerings, and mentoring more than 100 MARC Scholars. Remarkably, 80 percent of those scholars entered graduate school and 40 percent have achieved doctoral degrees.
From 1993-1996, Robinson also served as chair of NCCU's Psychology Department. During his three-year term, he instituted a new clinical masterâs program, developed a faculty development program, increased external funding, and improved graduation rates by 25 percent. Concurrently, Robinson directed NCCU's Alcohol Research Center, funded by a grant from the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. A collaboration with predominantly minority and research-intensive institutions, the center provided support to faculty interested in alcohol-related research.
In 2006, Robinson was named founding Dean of the NCCU College of Behavioral and Social Sciences, where he oversaw nine departments, five centers and over 200 faculty and staff. Over the next six years, he generated over $15 million in federal grants and other external funding, achieved accreditation for 16 programs, established a Department of Social Work, secured funding for a $1-million endowed professorship, and developed a national partnership with the Institute for Homeland Security and the Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium. He remained in the post until he left North Carolina for Cambridge College in 2012.
Active in professional and civic organizations, Robinson has received numerous awards and honors over the course of his career. A former National Institutes of Health Fellow, he has received the Sigma Xi Award (1995), the Omega Psi Phi Founderâs Award (2007), an Image Award from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (2003), and the Order of the Long Leaf Pine (2012). He has served on the boards of the YMCA of the Greater Triangle, the Center for Child and Family Health, and the Uplift Foundation, and has served as a delegate for the People to People Citizen Ambassador Program to China, Egypt and South Africa.
Robinson is married to Denise Robinson, a 1978 NCCU graduate and former elementary school teacher. Together, they have two children: Chanita Robinson Coulter, a graduate of North Carolina A&T State University and school teacher living in Charleston, SC; and Devin, a student at NCCU.

Cross O'Cliff Orchard, off Cross O'Cliff Hill, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Lincolnshire is not renowned for its orchards but Lincolnshire County Council’s Cross O’Cliff Orchard, at a little under 2 hectares and at least one hundred and fifty years old is one of the largest that now remain. There are many old varieties of pear with wonderful names such as Louise Bonne de Jersey, Hessle and Pitman Duchess and many Lincolnshire apple varieties including Allington Pippin and Peasgood’s Nonesuch.
After nearly half a century of neglect restoration started in 1995. Specialist fruit tree and wildlife
surveys were undertaken and a restoration plan developed.
The orchard has been designated a Local Nature Reserve with the assistance of a Wildspace! Grant from English Nature.
Surviving trees are regularly pruned. Traditional varieties have been replanted. In addition to the rich variety of fruit trees, the orchard is a haven for wildlife.
Old trees and dead wood provide ideal conditions for insects and beetles. Wildflowers, fruit blossom and warm grassy areas support butterflies such as Orange-tip, Small Tortoiseshell and Gatekeeper. Birds such as Long Tailed Tit, Greater Spotted Woodpecker and Sparrow Hawk can also be frequently seen. The Orchard is open to the public. The entrance is on Cross O’Cliff Hill one hundred metres south of the Lincoln School of Science and Technology.
Local volunteers have played an important role in the orchard’s restoration. Members of the Cross O‘Cliff Area Residents Group regularly meet to assist with ongoing management work such as tree planting and pruning, hedge laying and meadow mowing.

Project: 3D Printer Filament Extrusion and Spooling
Group: Abdelmagid Abdelmagid, Georgina Hatch, Keith Rosenberger, Shawn Perkiss
Having to buy 3D printing filament is always an expensive option. However, buying the material in pellets form and extruding it into the filament can be more economically feasible. A 2.2 kg (5 lb.) bag of pellets costs approximately $20 whereas a spool of 1 kg (2.2 lb.) filament can range from $20 to $30. The goal of the project is to extrude the pellets into filament of a consistent diameter of 1.75 mm ± 0.03 mm. The extruded material will then be spooled onto a spool that will go into a MakerBot Z18 printer. The spooling system will be designed and fabricated to work with two different sizes of MakerBot spools.
