Red's Dream

[Sorry, This Short Description Is Temporally Closed, Please Wait For Someone To Restore It]

Red's Dream is a 1987 American animated short film written and directed by John Lasseter and produced by Pixar. The short film, which runs four minutes, stars Red, a unicycle. Propped up in the corner of a bicycle store on a rainy night, Red dreams of a fantasy where it becomes the star of a circus. Red's Dream was Pixar's second computer-animated short following Luxo Jr. in 1986, also directed by Lasseter.

Red's Dream is more strongly character driven than Luxo Jr., Pixar's previous short film. The short was designed to demonstrate new technical innovations in imagery. The short was created by employing the company's own Pixar Image Computer, but the computer's memory limitations led the animation group to abandon it for further projects. Space was growing tight at the company, and as a result, Lasseter and his team worked out of a hallway during production, where Lasseter sometimes slept for days on end.

The short film debuted at the annual SIGGRAPH conference in Anaheim on July 10, 1987, and received general enthusiasm from its attendants. Red's Dream was never attached to any later Pixar feature, unlike many other early Pixar short films. The short was later released in theaters with Home on the Range in 2004. It also saw release for home video as part of Tiny Toy Stories in 1996 and Pixar Short Films Collection, Volume 1 in 2007.

Plot
On a rainy night in an unnamed, deserted city where no one can be seen, a red unicycle named Red is lying in the clearance corner of a bicycle shop called "Eben's Bikes". Red dreams of being the center of a circus act, which is represented within a dream sequence in which it is ridden by a circus clown named Lumpy. After cycling onstage to little fanfare, Lumpy begins a juggling act with three colored balls, which he continually drops by accident, prompting the unicycle to roll out from underneath him and catch them. Eventually, Lumpy accidentally launches one of the balls out of the ring, prompting Red to go out and retrieve it without his notice. After realizing that his unicycle is out from beneath his feet, Lumpy falls and vanishes from the dream, after which Red catches the other two balls and juggles them to an uproarious applause; however, the dream ends, and Red awakens after bowing to the audience, realizing that it is still in the bike shop. Depressed, it returns to the corner where it was previously resting and becomes inanimate again.

Production
Red's Dream was the second short film produced by computer animation studio Pixar, following Luxo Jr., the studio's previous short film. For their next short film, which was to be presented at the 1987 SIGGRAPH convention, Ed Catmull wanted the Pixar staff to make a film that made use the Pixar Image Computer and the rendering software Chapreyes. Lasseter began to develop a story about a circus clown who is upstaged by his own unicycle, while William Reeves and Eben Ostby were simultaneously working on their own ideas; Ostby had wanted to animate a bicycle, and Reeves was working on creating a rainy setting in a city. Ultimately, the three combined their ideas, which resulted in the development of Red's Dream. The idea of a bicycle shop for a setting was inspired by Ostby, a cycling enthusiast and graphics programmer at Pixar, who had been working on generating a complex still image of a bike shop. Lasseter, Reeves and Ostby wanted to try and give the film a distinctly "dark and moody" look by having it take place in a rainy city setting. When developing the story for the film, Lasseter said that he wanted to create something with more "pathos" behind it, jokingly referring the film's development as Pixar's "blue period" due to the emotional drive behind the short.

The film project came with two technical rationales; the bike shop scenes at the beginning and end were intended to demonstrate the rendering of highly complex imagery. Due to the geographical complexity the spoked bikes and the shop fixtures, a typical frame of animation from the scenes contained more than ten thousand geometric primitives, which in turn were made up of more than thirty million polygons. The dream sequence. on the other hand, was to demonstrate the rendering capabilities of the Pixar Image Computer. An engineer named Tony Apodaca had converted Pixar's rendering software to run on the PIC, but it turned out that the machine's design left its processors without enough memory to use a program as complex as Chapreyes, and thus Apodaca was able to convert only a portion of its features for use with the computers. On account of these limitations, the dream sequence ended up looking cruder than the rest of the film, and Red's Dream was both the first and last Pixar film to be made using the PIC. The clown, nicknamed "Lumpy" by the filmmakers, was one of Pixar's first human characters; in order to give him an "organic" facial structure, the character was first sculpted into a model and then scanned into a computer using a digitizer. The scenes with juggling were created by animating the unicycle's path, and then put the balls into the setting, with a quadratic programming algorithm automatically calculating their traveling path. Due to the PIC's incapability of performing any motion blur, Lasseter instead used squash and stretch, which was also calculated by the QP, to convincingly animate the bouncing balls.

As Red's Dream was being developed, space at Pixar was growing tight in its Marin County bungalow; during production, the animation group, consisting of Lasseter alongside several "technical directors" who created models and shaders and such, worked out of a hallway. Towards the end of production, Lasseter worked and slept in the hallways for days on end. One night, about two weeks before the deadline for SIGGRAPH, an engineer named Jeff Mock brought his camcorder around and shot an ersatz interview with Lasseter, who joked about the conditions. He had just spent five days animating a sequence of three hundred frames-twelve and a half seconds of film.

Shortly following the completion of Red's Dream, animators Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, two of Walt Disney's legendary original nine animators known as the "Nine Old Men", visited Lasseter at Pixar and they watched a screening. Thomas was evidently freed of his former doubts about computer animation, expressed in a 1984 essay in which he argued computer animation could never produce anything as meaningful as its hand-drawn predecessor. After watching the film, he shook Lasseter's hand and stated meaningfully to him, "John, you did it."

And may I ask in which fashion this article is inappropriately toned? Ravenswing 01:05, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Citing the current article, with some of the sentences containing inappropriate tone shown in italics: He became Tampa Bay's starting goalie in the 2005-06 NHL season and was expected to bring the same caliber to the team as he did back in 2004; however, Grahame failed to demonstrate a consistency in his playing skill, often having a shut out one night, and then letting 5 or 6 goals past him the next night [citation needed]. He is blamed by many fans for costing the Lightning a Semifinals appearance in 2006. He signed a 2 year deal worth 2.8 million dolars with the Carolina Hurricanes in July 2006. Held off-season workouts in Las Vegas this summer with his trainers Todd Floyd and Jason Toohey. John is regarded by many employees of the Palms Hotel/Casino as their favorite guest due to his down to earth fun loving attitude coupled with his extreme genorosity. The Palms also hosted his Stanley Cup victory party after winning the cup with Tampa Bay Lightning . The party is still regarded as one of the best individual cup celebrations of all time. Even socialite Paris Hilton was turned away at the door.[citation needed, not to mention it being a bizarre claim to put into a biographical article/stub]

Needs strong cleanup / rewrite
This is not one of the better athlete biography / hockey articles I've reviewed on Wikipedia. Not only is it written with inappropriate tone or point of view repeatedly, it has zero citations as to where facts originated or to back up its assertions which may or may not be factual in nature, and is poorly written with some distinct grammatical errors.

It could be much improved by giving more actual biographical information, such as a listing of statistics, info on his junior, college, and minor hockey career, and more about his background (where he was born, grew up, etc) and/or list of accomplishments as a player.

Talk:Brett Hull

World Cup Victory
In his list of international accomplishments, it's explicitly pointed out that he won a Silver medal at Salt Lake, but the '96 World Cup victory was arguably more spectacular in terms of achievements on the world stage. A note should be added there as well. Mojo Tooth 20:39, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

I went ahead and added this as there was no dissent. Mojo Tooth 21:08, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

needs some serious work
this page needs some serious work. Brett Hull is one of the greatest goal scores in the last 20 years and this page doesn't do him justice.

 * Do something about it then, don't just complain.

USA Rep

 * it should be stated that Brett Hull chose to represent the United States after failing to make the Canadian national team. Instead of waiting to play in an international hockey tournament for Canada, Hull decided to play immediately for the U.S.

Brett's Retirement
The changes in the NHL this season (2005-06), are exactly what Brett always wanted. However the changes apparently have come 10 years or so too late. Here's to a Great Career, a Golden Career ,good luck Brett Hull ,you've done your father proud. You Da Man.

they weren't what he wanted, he liked the tough hockey.

Horrible article
Was this written by a bitter canadian? It fails to point out his Cup Winning goal WAS LEGAL BY THE RULES! Abd it makes no mention of the fact that he only opted to play for the us AFTER CANADA TURNED HIM DOWN. It needs some serious work.
 * The article mentions both; what seemingly makes it "horrible" is that it doesn't push a partisan POV of which you would seem to approve. Be that as it may, Hull's Cup-winning goal and his playing for the United States national team both were seriously controversial, and plainly still arouse passionate feelings.  No article on Hull would be encyclopedic without citing both incidents.  Ravenswing 04:20, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Doesn't push a partisan POV? How else could you describe this: "fans north of the border viewed The Golden Brett as nothing less than a traitor, who would turn his back on his own flag, for playing under the Stars and Stripes, particularly as his stardom grew." All fans did? And even if some did, was the average feeling that he was as bad as a traitor? The extreme POV without tempering makes it horribly skewed. --Caranfindil 16:01, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Canadian or American?
Just curious which flag should go next to Hull's name in articles where it's necessary. The list of statistical leaders article is constantly being reverted back & forth between the US and Canada. I think we should establish one standard and stick with it: either Canadian because of birth, or US because of international representation. Personally I think it should be Canadian (and I say that as an American), but that's just my two cents (American, naturally, since they're worth more, lol). Anthony Hit me up... 16:49, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Hexene

In organic chemistry, hexene is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C6H12. The prefix "hex" is derived from the fact that there are 6 carbon atoms in the molecule, while the "-ene" suffix denotes that there is an alkene present—two carbon atoms are connected via a double bond. There are several isomers of hexene, depending on the position and geometry of the double bond in the chain. One of the most common industrially useful isomers is 1-hexene, an alpha-olefin. Hexene is used as a comonomer in the production of polyethylene.

Isomers
The following is a partial list of hexenes.

There are a total of 13 different alkene isomers of hexene, excluding additional geometric (E/Z) and optical (R/S) isomers:

 * hex-1-ene
 * hex-2-ene (E/Z)
 * hex-3-ene (E/Z)
 * 2-methylpent-1-ene
 * 3-methylpent-1-ene (R/S)
 * 4-methylpent-1-ene
 * 2-methylpent-2-ene
 * 3-methylpent-2-ene (E/Z)
 * 4-methylpent-2-ene (E/Z)
 * 2,3-dimethylbut-1-ene
 * 3,3-dimethylbut-1-ene
 * 2-ethylbut-1-ene
 * 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene

I disagree with the December 2007 assessment that this Wiki Article is inappropriate in Tone. It is highly appropriate for Hockey. If "someone" does not feel its tone is appropriate, that $2 looser should focus on sports that are more appropriate for the worthless and week like themselves. Perhaps, they should try Badminton.

Demand to be traded from Buffalo after concussion?
"He was determined to return, even though the doctors advised against such an attempt. Sabres management, in conjunction with team doctors and specialists, refused to clear LaFontaine to return, and recommended he retire. LaFontaine, still believing he could play, demanded a trade, which the Sabres obliged"

Does anyone have a source for where Lafontaine "demanded" to be traded after his concussion? The Sabres Alumni association even says it was a "cost cutting" measure at http://www.sabresalumni.com/playerprofile.php?playerid=10219. Surely, if he demanded to be traded, wouldn't this have been noted somewhere, a la Dominik Hasek asking to be traded at the conclusion of the 2001 season? Thanks!

The current sentence is this: "He is the all-time goal-scoring and points leader amongst American-born players in the NHL, as well as the last active player in the NHL who played for the North Stars when the team was in Minnesota."

This is incorrect.

Mike Modano is second all-time in goals, assists, and points amongst American-born players in the NHL, as well as the last active player in the NHL who played for the North Stars when the team was in Minnesota.

He is second in goals and points behind Brett Hull, and second in assists behind Phil Housley.

International Youth Congress

The International Youth Congress (Internacia Junulara Kongreso, IJK) is the largest annual meeting of young Esperantists in the world. The participants come from all over the world for one week, and they usually number around 300, although there has been a congress with more than 1000 attendees before. The congress takes place in a different country every year and is organized by the World Esperanto Youth Organization (Tutmonda Esperantista Junulara Organizo, TEJO), the youth wing of the Universal Esperanto Association (Universala Esperanto-Asocio, UEA). Both the IJK and the World Esperanto Congress take place each summer, usually in consecutive weeks but rarely in the same country.

Countries
Countries by number of times as host:

Continents
Of the 74 congresses that have happened so far, 60 were hosted in Europe, 7 in Asia, 4 in North America, 2 in South America, 1 in Africa and none in Oceania.

Cities
Five cities have hosted the event twice:
 * 🇳🇱 Groet (1938, 1948)
 * 🇳🇱 Rotterdam (1960, 1967)

I did quite an extensive search on the web, and came up with several search results. Though PC Pro indeed done a comprehensive review of the software, the other sources actually write about Microsoft open sourcing its product (remember, it was rare event back then?). All in all, it seems that this software fails WP:PRODUCT, as all of its impact was a buzz about Microsoft releasing source code.

Thus I suggest merging this article to either of:
 * (describe as predecessor)

 * (describe as Microsoft's first entry)

Yuan Hongbing

Yuan Hongbing (1952 - ) is a Chinese-Australian jurist, novelist, and Chinese dissident.

Biography
Born in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, Yuan's parents worked at the Inner Mongolia Daily.

During the Cultural Revolution, Yuan was sent to the countryside to work as a "sent-down youth". In 1972, he became a factory worker in a local chemical factory. During that time, he organized his colleagues to engage in political campaigns. Following the reinstatement of university entrance exams, he enrolled at Peking University to study law. He graduated from Peking University with a master's degree in criminal procedure in 1986 and went on to head the School of Criminal Procedural Law at Peking University.

At the time of the Tiananmen Square protests and massacre in 1989, Yuan created and organized The Peking University Faculty Support Association, a political organization in support of the student movement. His creation of the organization put him under surveillance by the government.

In 1990, Yuan published Winds on the Plain, a book which gained a considerable following among university students.

Yuan has also been active as a labour organiser. He was involved with Charter 08, a "Peace Charter" reportedly modeled on the Czechoslovak Charter 77. He also set up an unauthorized, politically liberal union – the League for the Protection of Working People of the People's Republic of China. In 1994, he was detained by government authorities and forced to leave Beijing. The US Department of State had mentioned his case in the China part of its Human Rights Report in 1994 and 1995. Yuan went into exile in the remote province of Guizhou from 1994, and became the Dean of the law school at Guizhou Normal University while under custody.

In 2004, Yuan and his assistant, Zhao Jing, traveled to Australia, and on 28 July, they sought political asylum. In June 2005 he accused the Chinese government of attempting to turn Australia into a "political colony".

In 2009, Yuan published his book Taiwan Disaster (台灣大劫難：2012不戰而勝台灣), a highly critical account of contemporary Taiwanese society and politics and detailed his views on the role of the CCP in pursuing unification in Taiwan.

In 2011, he declared that Hu Jintao had masterminded the death of the 10th Panchen Lama.

In October 2013, Yuan released his new book Assassination of the Buddha–the Truth of the Death of His Holiness the 10th Panchen Lama (Chinese:殺佛——十世班禪大師蒙難真相) in Taipei. The book, coauthored with Lhade Namloyak, a Tibetan poet and researcher, unveils what he claims to be the conspiracy of the century, the assassination by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) of Choekyi Gyaltsen, 10th Panchen Lama. The book contends that Deng Xiaoping and an oligarchic group of high-ranking party officials made the decision to assassinate the 10th Panchen Lama, and, with the support of Hu Jintao, Wen Jiabao, and others, the Lama was poisoned.

Image mistake
The French general showed here with (from left to right) US general Bradley, US general Eisenhower and British air chief marshal Tedder is not general Leclerc, but is actually general Koenig, the military governor of Paris. The date may be 29 august 1944, during a parade of American troops on the Champs-Elysées avenue in Paris. --Sbene (talk) 19:42, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Will someone change this useless picture of general Koenig ?? I guess that for American people, a general with a kepi and a moustache is enough typical of the French to be Leclerc...

"Killing of French POW's"
I have removed the above-named section and retained it here for further reference. There are a number of reasons for doing so. It's incorrect and also shoddily sourced, which is no good for verifiability or credibility.

What this section was perhaps alluding to was an incident involving the 2e D.B. of the French Army in Bad Reichenhall on 8 May 1945 (a very long way from the Rhein-Lahn mentioned in the section). 11 or 12 members of the "Charlemagne" Waffen-Gren. Regt. der SS 58, prisoners of the French were summarily executed. It is NOT known who gave the order. See For Europe: The French Volunteers of the Waffen-SS by Robert Forbes, pp. 480s. The website given as a source is unsourced and could easily be argued to be biased due to its condemnation of left-wing groups. The other source, Whiting's Operation Northwind, a book on the Battle of the Bulge, is cited with no page references.

--Harlsbottom (talk | library) 20:23, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Killing of French POW’s
In May 1945, French forces under Gen. Philippe Leclerc stopped 11 or 12 French prisoners from the SS Charlemagne Regiment in Rhein-Lahn. These POWs, who had volunteered to fight against the Soviet Union, had been hospitalized fighting on the Eastern Front. They had since surrendered and were being moved to a POW area.

Gen. Leclerc asked them why they wore the uniform of the enemy. One prisoner replied, "Why do you wear the uniform of the Americans?". Enraged, Leclerc declared them to be traitors and ordered them to be shot.

Their bodies were left lying by the side of the road. They were buried nearby a few days later by American soldiers

French POWs during WWII
The article states "After the armistice was signed on 22 June, French soldiers were simply allowed to go home, and the Germans were friendly towards de Hauteclocque, especially when they discovered that he spoke fluent German."

What???? French soldiers were NOT simply allowed to go home, and most well educated French people at the time spoke German, nothing out of the way there.

Whoever wrote this never heard of the 1.5 million French POWs! According to the French Wikipedia on Leclerc, he did exactly what my father, also a French officer, did before the armistice in June 1940 became effective - get authorization from his commanding officer to leave and try to go to London, where they would be more useful than in a POW camp.82.120.237.109 (talk) 09:14, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I wrote it and I have heard about the 1.5 million POWs. They were captured before the Armistice became effective. It was hoped that they would soon be released, but only a few were. The majority remained in POW camps for the duration. Leclerc obtained permission from his commanding officer to make his way back to French lines and rejoin the fight, which he did, not to go to London. From memory, he was listed as a deserter. Hawkeye7 (talk) 10:17, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for prompt answer. You are right, in May 1940, it still made sense for Leclerc to rejoin the French lines rather than go to London. But after the armistice, on June 25, French soldiers had to (military law) let themselves be made prisoner and sent East.82.120.237.109 (talk) 18:02, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Self-Appointed Colonel
Am currently re-reading Jean Lacouture's classic life of Charles de Gaulle. It states that during his attack on Cameroon in August 1940, Leclerc promoted himself to Colonel in order to wield more weight with the Vichy defenders and the natives. He apologised for this in a cable to de Gaulle. A glance at the table of promotions at the bottom of the article says that he jumped from major (a rank he was given in late July, prior to leaving for Africa) to full colonel on 27 August. 27 August was the date Cameroons came over to the Free French (Chad 26 August, French Congo 28 August). Maybe it was retrospectively approved to that date. He then became an acting brigadier-general later in autumn of 1940.Paulturtle (talk) 00:16, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Moore says: "LeClerc and Boislambert promoted themselves, LeClerc to colonel and Boislambert from captain to commandant. Re-sewing their gallons, there was just enough tape to give LeClerc five bars on each cuff and only one complete sleeve for Boislambert." The memorial says that LeClerc was promoted to lieutenant colonel on 27 August 1940; but it's clear from the source that he wore a colonel's stripes. If you have a page number in Lacouture, we can add it to the article. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:48, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Will do shortly (I've noted the relevant chapters - I am writing up de Gaulle's biog in comprehensive detail at the moment and have got up to July 1940 so far). A French lieutenant colonel and colonel both wear five stripes - alternating silver and gold for a lieutenant colonel and of the same colour for a full colonel. Maybe he wasn't too bothered when sewing strips of cloth onto a tropical uniform and it was retrospectively approved as a lieutenant colonel, but that's just a guess.Paulturtle (talk) 02:11, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Commanding three battalions?
Was it normal for a captain to command three battalions in France in 1940? I'd think it odd for him to command one at that rank. There's no reference given. CsikosLo (talk) 18:32, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Peter Gilbert

Eric Peter Gilbert (born 31 July 1983), known as Peter Gilbert, is a Welsh former footballer and current coach.

A defender, Gilbert played in the Football League for Plymouth Argyle, Leicester City, Sheffield Wednesday, Doncaster Rovers, Oldham Athletic, Northampton Town and Southend United, also appearing in the Conference for Lincoln City and briefly in the Northern Premier League for Goole. He represented Wales at under-21 level.

Gilbert is currently coaching Aston Villa Under-21s.

Career
Gilbert began his career at Birmingham City as a trainee but failed to make a first team appearance. He did captain the academy side during his time with the Blues and made many appearances for the reserves. His progress was hampered by a serious knee injury. Once he recovered the decision was made to make a fresh start at another club. He joined Plymouth Argyle at the beginning of the 2003–04 season on loan, where his performances earned him a permanent move. Once he signed, Gilbert soon proved himself to be a reliable and steady player and was a mainstay of Argyle's Second Division championship-winning side, playing 40 league games and scoring one goal against Tranmere Rovers. His only other goal for Plymouth came three days after his goal against Tranmere in a Football League Trophy tie against Bristol City.

This run of form led him to be called up to the Welsh under-21 squad and receiving his first cap. He went on to make 10 appearances in the 2006 UEFA Under-21 Championship qualifying campaign. During this campaign he impressed head coach John Toshack enough to consider him for the senior squad, and was a member of Toshack's senior squad for a six-day training camp in Spain at the end of the 2004–05 season.

He made 38 appearances for Argyle in the Championship during 2004–05. This led to interest from Leicester City manager Craig Levein who signed Gilbert for the start of the 2005–06 season, for a fee in the region of £200,000.

However, Gilbert made just six appearances for Leicester before being loaned to fellow Championship side Sheffield Wednesday in November 2005. He joined Wednesday on a permanent basis in 2006 and, following three years at the club, his contract was terminated by mutual consent on 6 April 2009.

After trials with Huddersfield Town, Southend United and Coventry City, Gilbert joined Oldham Athletic on a short-term contract. However, because the player wanted more stability than was afforded by the week-to-week deal with Oldham, he left before the 1 September transfer deadline to allow him the chance to find a permanent club.

In September 2009, Gilbert had a trial with Conference National side Mansfield Town. After a two-week trial spell in which he played the whole of a reserve game, he signed for League Two club Northampton Town in November until the end of the 2009–10 season.

On 8 July 2010 Gilbert signed a pre contract agreement with Southend United due to the club being under a transfer embargo, on 6 August 2010 Southend's embargo was lifted allowing Gilbert to be registered with the Roots Hall club. Gilbert had previously played under Southend boss Paul Sturrock at Sheffield Wednesday and Plymouth Argyle.

Gilbert picked up an ankle injury in a pre season game against Derby County which forced him to miss the start of the league season. He finally made his debut for the club on 24 August 2010 against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the League Cup. Gilbert made his league debut in Southend's 2–0 win against Bradford City on 27 August 2010. After a 2011–12 season which ended in playoff defeat, the club did not offer Gilbert a new contract.

Gilbert joined Conference National club Lincoln City on non-contract terms in October 2012. He went on to sign a short-term contract which was later extended to the end of the season. At the end of March, he joined Dagenham & Redbridge on loan until the end of the season. In January 2014, he signed for Northern Premier League First Division South club Goole, managed by his former teammate Curtis Woodhouse. Later that year, he travelled to California where he played in two friendly matches for USL Pro club Sacramento Republic.

Coaching career
After the end of his playing career, Gilbert joined West Bromwich Albion Academy as a coach. Working with various age groups over an eight-year spell – ultimately acting as U18s manager from 2019 to 2022.

In August 2022, Gilbert joined Aston Villa Academy as an Under-21s coach.

Lotherton Hall

Lotherton Hall is a country house near Aberford in West Yorkshire, England. It is a short distance from the A1(M) motorway, 200 mi equidistant from London and Edinburgh. It is one of nine sites in the Leeds Museums & Galleries group.

A manor house has occupied the site of the hall from at least 1775, when it appears on Thomas Jeffery's map of Yorkshire. The house was owned by Thomas Maude, who brought it from George Rhodes in 1753 for £4,115. Ownership then passed to Wollen and then to John Raper. In 1824 John Raper died and his son and heir, John Lamplugh Raper, sold the property to Richard Oliver Gascoigne in 1825.

After Richard Oliver Gascoigne's death in 1842, Lotherton was inherited by his unmarried daughters, Elizabeth and Mary Isabella. Richard Trench Gascoigne took up ownership of the house in 1893 following the death of his aunt Elizabeth who had married Lord Ashtown. It became the main residence of the Gascoigne family after the death of Richard's father Frederick at Parlington Hall in 1905. Between 1914 and 1918, the Hall was used as a V.A.D. hospital. A 12th-century Norman chapel in the grounds, in use until 1830, was renovated between 1913 and 1917 and used as part of the V.A.D. hospital.

The hall is on the Gascoigne estate, and was presented to the City of Leeds in 1968 by Sir Alvary Gascoigne and his wife, last of the Gascoigne family, whose roots were at Parlington Hall. The hall and parkland were opened for public access on 6 August 1969, exactly 25 years after Sir Alvary Gascoigne's only son and heir, Douglas Gascoigne, was killed in a tank battle in Normandy. The estate is home to a collection of endangered bird species and a herd of red deer. There is a large expanse of grassland in front of the bird garden, typically used during the summer months for ball games and picnics. Another field is used to host shows, such as an annual motorcycle show.

The hall was extensively rebuilt during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. It holds an art collection that includes the Gascoigne Gift, given to the City of Leeds along with the hall, which sits alongside collections of fine and decorative arts added to the collection since becoming a museum in 1968.

The hall is licensed to hold wedding and civil partnership ceremonies.

Gascoignes at Lotherton Hall
Lotherton Hall came into the possession of the Gascoigne family when it was purchased in 1825 by Richard Oliver Gascoigne. He would have assumed he had secured a male heir, as he had raised two adult sons, one of which would inherit. In 1842 both his sons died leaving the Gascoigne estate to be inherited by his daughters after he died the following year.

The sisters divided the Yorkshire estates between them, Mary Isabella took Parlington Hall and Elizabeth took Lotherton. During Elizabeth Gascoigne's ownership, she and her husband Fredrick Mason Trench, the 2nd Baron of Ashtown, who she married in 1852, mostly let Lotherton to tenants, preferring Castle Oliver in Ireland, along with Woodlawn, Lord Ashtown's own family residence in County Galway, Ireland. Lord and Lady Ashtown did however seem to use Lotherton as their Yorkshire seat for a time in the 1850s. On Elizabeth's death in 1893, Lotherton was inherited by her nephew, Colonel Fredrick Richard Thomas Trench Gascoigne who was a noted soldier and traveller.

Census returns during the period that Lotherton Hall was let (1842–93) show that Elizabeth and Mary Isabella Gascoigne’s cousin, R.S. (Richard Silver) Oliver (1812–89), grandson of the Rt Hon Silver Oliver (1736–98) and son of Robert Oliver (c. 1774–1834), was living at Lotherton Hall as head of household in 1851. Widowed Ann Hornby was head of household at the 1861 census. Richard F. Shawe, recorded as living ‘from investment’, was head of household at the 1871 census, with Shawe’s widow, Anna Shawe, a 'landed proprietor', head of household in 1881. Lotherton Hall was unoccupied at the 1891 census.

Colonel Gascoigne's wife, Gwendolen, was the daughter of engineer Sir Douglas Galton, and second cousin and god daughter to Florence Nightingale. Colonel Gascoigne preferred Lotherton Hall to Parlington, moving many of the furnishings from Parlington to Lotherton. Parlington was demolished in 1950s. Between 1896 and 1931 the Gascoignes remodelled Lotherton to accommodate their growing family, adding a dining room, entrance hall, drawing room and servant's wing. Mrs Gascoigne designed and built the Edwardian style gardens along the south front. Colonel and Mrs Gascoigne had three children together, Alvary, Oliver (who died as an infant) and Cynthia.

Sir Alvary Gascoigne was the British ambassador to Japan and Moscow. He inherited Lotherton in 1937 and lived there with his second wife, Lorna Priscilla Gascoigne. While at Lotherton he enriched the house with oriental works of art he had acquired as an ambassador. He and his first wife, Sylvia Wilder, had a son, Douglas Wilder Gascoigne, who was killed in action during the Second World War. With no heir left to inherit Lotherton, Sir Alvary presented the hall to the City of Leeds in 1968 as a gift to be open to the public. He also gave an endowment fund to buy works of art to further the collection. He died in 1970.

Lotherton Hall Hospital
The Gascoignes were patriotic and felt it was their duty to help the war effort during the First World War. In November 1914, Lotherton Hall was transformed into a Voluntary Aid Detachment (V.A.D) hospital for wounded soldiers. The hospital was run by Mrs Gascoigne (Laura Gwendolyn Gascoigne née Galton), with help of VAD volunteer nurses and her daughter, Cynthia. The hospital's eighteen beds increased to thirty five by the end of the war.

Between 21 November 1914 and 28 March 1919, 655 soldiers were treated there. The Gascoignes funded the hospital refusing any government grants or aid. Colonel Gascoigne volunteered as an ambulance driver on the western front and their son, Alvary, served in the army. Their support in the war effort was appreciated by the local community and the St Johns Ambulance Service and in 1918, Mrs Gascoigne was awarded a CBE.

Collections
Lotherton Hall contains around 3,000 objects from five collections. The Gascoigne gift, less than a third of the collection, was given in stages between 1955 and 1979 and comprises paintings, sculpture, furniture, silver, jewelry, porcelain, prints, drawings and textiles. The costume collection is made up of historic and modern clothes and accessories. The Eastern pottery and porcelain collection was in the most part given by Frank Savery in 1966. The collection of modern craft includes ceramics, furniture, jewelry and metalwork by leading British artists. The Cooper Collection, on loan from a private owner, includes Victorian and early-20th century furniture and ceramics.

Paintings
Notable paintings in the collection include:

The Irish House of Commons (1780) by Francis Wheatley (1747–1801) – a large-scale group portrait showing Henry Grattan making a speech on the repeal of Poynings’ Law during a debate in the Irish House of Commons on 19 April 1780.

Portrait of Sir Thomas Gascoigne (1779) by Pompeo Batoni (I708-87) – painted in Rome during Sir Thomas Gascoigne’s Grand Tour, Sir Thomas is shown as a connoisseur surrounded by books, sculptures and a globe. Sir Thomas is also holding a snuff box bearing the portrait of Marie Antoinette.

Five Impressionist paintings by Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida (1863–1923) – A Lady and a Dog on the Beach (1906), Ladies on the Beach (1906), People Sitting on the Beach (1906), The Beach (1906) and The Bridge (1906)

Four portraits and three landscapes by George Clausen (1852–1944) – The Miller’s Man (1888), The Shy Girl (1897–1907), Lady Beatrice (1908), Reading by Lamplight (Twilight: Interior) (1909), The Village at Night (1903), Misty Morning and The Village Green at Night.

Lotherton Hall also houses work by Mark Senior (1862–1927) (a member of the Staithes Group), Philip Wilson Steer (1860–1942) and Edward Atkinson Hornel (1864–1933)

Furniture
Notable furniture in the collection includes:

Neo-Gothic designs by Augustus (A.W.N.) Pugin (1812–52) – Footstool and pair of dining chairs made for George IV by Morel and Seddon c. 1828 for Windsor Castle and oak armchair made for the Jacksons of Kelwood Grove, Yorkshire c. 1865 after a Pugin design of 1835.

Neo-Gothic design by William Burges (1827–81) – Centre table made c. 1867 for Burges's rooms at 15 Buckingham Street, London and later transferred to Burges’s new home (Tower House, 29 Melbury Road, Kensington). Red, black and gold painted oak frame supporting top of marble inlay (pietra dura).

Neo-Gothic oak wardrobe designed by Collier & Plucknett and decorated with allegorical paintings of the seasons and the winds by J. Moir Smith.

Art nouveau high-backed chair designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868–1928)

Arts and Crafts and Aesthetic Movement furniture designed by Ernest Gimson (1864–1919), C. F. A. Voysey (1857–1941), Edward William Godwin (1833–86), Gordon Russell (1892–1980), Morris & Co., Philip Webb (1831–1915), Frank Brangwyn (1867–1956) and Jennens & Bettridge (specialists in papier-mâché)

Georgian furniture by Gillows of Lancaster, including a dining table commissioned by Richard Oliver Gascoigne for Parlington Hall, soon after he inherited the Gascoigne estate in 1810.

Victorian marquetry designs by Charles Bevan, including a suite of furniture manufactured by Marsh and Jones of Leeds, commissioned by Titus Salt Junior (youngest son of Sir Titus Salt) for Salt Junior's home at Baildon Lodge and later moved to his new house at Milner Field.

Gascoigne Silver Collection
The Gascoigne collection includes a series of silver horse racing cups from 1776 to 1842. They include the Doncaster Cup for 1776, produced by William Holmes. A large silver cup by Robert Salmon is dated 1779 and commemorates Soothsayer and Jerry, two of the most successful horses owned by Sir Thomas Gascoigne, 8th Baronet, whose stables were at Parlington Hall. The Beverley Cup of 1809 and the Lincoln Cup of 1822 are both by Robert Garrard.

The collection also includes a Communion Cup and Cover by John Harrington of York. While made in 1628, Harrington’s design draws on an earlier Elizabethan style. A silver paten of 1719 by Seth Lofthouse is also notable.

Two tankards – one Swedish from the late-17th century and the other probably made in Moscow in the mid-18th century – are examples of fine imports in styles that were popular throughout Europe.

Portrait miniatures
The Gascoigne gift includes ten portrait miniatures. A snuffbox bearing a portrait of Marie Antoinette, significant because Sir Thomas Gascoigne holds this snuffbox in his left hand in Pompeo Batoni’s 1779 portrait which is also on display. The most accomplished miniature is a half-length portrait of Catherine, the elder daughter of Silver Oliver (Gascoigne), by Richard Cosway (1742–1821). An important name in English miniature portraiture, Cosway was appointed Painter to the Prince of Wales (later George IV) in 1785 (the only time that this title was awarded)

Chinese ceramics
The Gascoigne gift (1968) and the Frank Savery bequest (1966) include collections of Chinese ceramics.

The earliest material is Neolithic (4th–2nd millennium BC), including decorated funerary vessels.

Han Dynasty ceramics (206 BC–AD 220) include a tiger decorated roof-ridge tile, while Early Yue wares (late 3rd–4th century AD) include a water pot in the form of a lion. The Tang dynasty (AD 618–906) is represented, including grave offerings in the form of animals, such as a colourfully glazed camel and a naturalistic horse.

Song dynasty porcelain (10th–13th century AD) includes a water sprinkler decorated with animal heads for use in a Buddhist temple and a water dropper in the form of a duck (part of a scribe’s ink-set)

The Ming dynasty (AD 1368–1644) is represented by a seated female figure in green and yellow glazed stoneware (perhaps an ancestor or goddess for use in a temple), a wine jar with the painted scene of a scholar in a garden and a bowl with a finely painted bird decoration.

Painted porcelain produced for European export (famille verte) during the Qing dynasty (Kangxi period AD 1662–1722) includes a vase with an elaborate narrative scene of mounted warrior, men and women in a garden.

18th and 19th century pottery and porcelain
Chinese armorial porcelain (late-18th century) – Sir Thomas Gascoigne, 8th Baronet commissioned a dinner service (c. 1770) for Parlington Hall and, ten years later, a tea service. Both armorial porcelain services feature the Gascoigne crest (a pike’s head) of which 63 items from the dinner service survive, along with 22 items from the tea service. This represents a fraction of the original, with the dinner service likely to have featured at least 100 meat plates and 50 soup plates (a total of only 29 plates survive)

Other significant ceramic designers and manufacturers displayed include William de Morgan, Burmantofts Pottery and Leeds Pottery

Modern craft studio pottery
Lotherton Hall houses a small collection of modern craft studio pottery, including works by significant potters such as Alison Britton, Michael Cardew, Michael Casson, Joanna Constantinidis, Hans Coper, Elizabeth Fritsch, T. S. Haile, Bernard Leach, Janet Leach, Lucy Rie and Sutton Taylor.

Medieval Chapel
The chapel was built in 1100s to serve as a place of worship for the former village of Lotherton.

During the First World War, it was restored by Colonel and Mrs Gascoigne to house wounded soldiers and as a place of worship. Inside the chapel is a memorial piece dedicated to the soldiers who fought and were treated at Lotherton. Inside the pulpit is a prayer desk that was carved by soldiers at the hospital as a form of occupational therapy.

Gardens
The gardens were designed by Mrs Gascoigne (Laura Gwendolen Gascoigne ) in the early 20th century before the First World War. Mrs Gascoigne was a notable gardener and had famous gardening friends of the time. The gardens are a collection of several features, each with their own characters to complement the different styles of the rooms in the house. At the far end of the house there is a statue of Sho Haku, the peony priest, a Japanese holy man known for his love of peonies.

Wildlife
The bird gardens were opened in 1980; originally it was the site for the old kitchen gardens and greenhouses north of the walled gardens. In 1984 they were expanded and have developed into a major attraction, consisting of over two hundred species of birds, from six different continents around the world.

In 2003, a walk-through aviary called 'Into Africa' was introduced, within it is a mix of African species.

In 2005, the bird gardens celebrated its 25th anniversary with two more developments. The deer park was created in the early 1980s; a herd of deer were moved to Lotherton from Temple Newsam. Later, a herd of red deer were introduced to the estate and are the only breed of deer still present on the estate.

Statistics
In 2018, Lotherton attracted 453,335 visitors, making it the second most visited paid attraction in Yorkshire and Humber. Furthermore, when Lotherton Hall introduced its Christmas Experience between 25 November and 23 December 2016, 64,743 people attended the event, which was a large increase in number compared to 2015 when only 8,920 people attended the event in the same period. This also led to 494 new memberships to Lotherton compared to 236 in 2015 and generated £282,613 for the estate. The festive event included a twelve days of Christmas walk around the woods and garden, an elf village with Santa's Grotto. As of 2019 a new skating rink was introduced.

Duffield railway station

Duffield railway station serves the village of Duffield in Derbyshire, England. The station is located on the Midland Main Line from Derby to Leeds, 133 mi north of London St Pancras. It is also a junction with the former branch line to Wirksworth, which is now operated as the Ecclesbourne Valley heritage railway.

The unmanned station is served by East Midlands Railway, who operate local services from Derby to Matlock via the Derwent Valley Line.

History
The first station at Duffield was built in 1841, a year after the line opened, by the North Midland Railway a few yards further north from its present position.

From 1840 there had been a number of proposals for a line from Manchester down the Churnet Valley to meet either the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway or the Midland Counties Railway, and then go on to London. An amendment was put forward in 1844 bringing the line to the North Midland at Duffield, presumably via Ashbourne and the Ecclesbourne Valley. However, the line never materialised.

The Midland Railway, however, was looking for a path into Manchester as an alternative to the former Manchester, Buxton, Matlock and Midland Junction Railway from Ambergate to Rowsley which it leased jointly with the LNWR. It built a junction at Duffield and began to construct the line, which opened as far as Wirksworth in 1867. When the MR gained sole control of the Ambergate line in 1871, the extension proved unnecessary. However, the Wirksworth branch remained a busy line with a regular passenger service and freight in the form of limestone from Wirksworth and milk from the farms along the line.

In 1867 a large new station was built in the vee of the junction, with platforms on each side of the double track. A signal box was provided to the east of the main line, replaced by Duffield Junction box around 1890 at the south end of Platform One. By this time the population of Duffield had increased with railway workers and management, as had traffic on the main line. In 1897 a goods line was laid in the up (southbound) direction, and a fourth, down goods, laid in 1904.

At this stage there were two platforms with a footbridge, the second being an island between the two passenger lines, and another for the branch. The two subsidiary platforms each had a waiting room, while the main platform building contained the waiting room, ticket and luggage offices. Next to the footbridge was a separate W.H. Smith bookstall. The station master's house was separate, being beside the track to the north, and there was small luggage store just outside the gate. The Wirksworth branch having severed the main road, which had been diverted, a footbridge gave access across the line. To the north of the station, there was a wide level crossing which, besides allowing luggage trolleys to cross, gave access for the farmer who owned the adjacent land. Next to this was a footbridge from the front of the station to the field behind, and between them two signal posts with, until 1910, a Duffield Station signal box supplementing Duffield Junction. After that, the station changed little over the years until 1969 though in 1947, at the time passenger services were withdrawn on the Wirksworth branch, the signal posts were replaced with a fabricated steel gantry and upper-quadrant signals. Some time later the passenger footbridge was rebuilt in brick, using the existing walkway.

In the 1960s the station became unstaffed, and the buildings were removed in 1969 except for the station master's house which became a private residence, and the small luggage store which was just outside the gate. However these have also subsequently been demolished.

In July 2005 the station was adopted by WyvernRail plc under a scheme promoted by the Friends of the Derwent Valley Line. WyvernRail undertook to provide care and maintenance of Duffield railway station on behalf of Central Trains (who operated the station at that time) and continue to do so for East Midlands Railway.

National Rail
National Rail services at Duffield are operated by East Midlands Railway using DMUs.

The typical off-peak service is one train per hour in each direction between Matlock and Nottingham via Derby.

On Sundays, the station is served by one train every two hours in each direction in the morning, increasing to hourly in the afternoon.

Ecclesbourne Valley Railway
The Ecclesbourne Valley Railway runs from Duffield station Platform 3 to Ravenstor via Hazelwood, Shottle, Idridgehay and Wirksworth along the route of the old Midland Railway branch which closed to passengers in 1947 and goods in 1989.

This link was re-opened to passengers in April 2011, allowing heritage services from Wirksworth to connect with the Midland Main Line. Through ticketing is available from all main line stations.

Tralee and Dingle Light Railway

The Tralee and Dingle Light Railway and Tramway was a 32 mi, narrow gauge railway running between Tralee and Dingle, with a 6.2 mi branch from Castlegregory Junction to Castlegregory, in County Kerry on the west coast of Ireland. It operated between 1891 and 1953; the Castlegregory branch closed shortly prior to the outbreak of the Second World War. It was one of the most westerly railway lines in Europe, but the terminus of the Valentia Harbour branch at 10.277785° was further west.

Early years
The railway was built as cheaply as possible, largely following adjacent roads, resulting in some very tight curves and severe gradients. The railway opened on 31 March 1891, but from the start income failed to cover operating expenses. In March 1893, the Board of Trade held an inquiry into poor management and operating practices on the railway; nevertheless a fatal accident (involving a runaway train) took place at Curraduff in May of the same year. The railway continued to require public subsidies from local ratepayers; these were able to be reduced in 1898 after a grant from the Treasury (although the line continued to require subsidies throughout its existence). In 1907, a further grant of £23,000 (just over €2 million at 2007/8 values) was made to allow the scene of the accident at Curraduff to be bypassed, and other improvements made.

Conflict
Operations on the railway were severely disrupted between 1921 and 1923. The line was closed in 1921 on the orders of the British Army (during the struggle for independence prior to the creation of the Irish Free State). Services were also suspended at times (and infrastructure damaged) during the Irish Civil War of 1922–23. The railway was taken over by the Great Southern Railways on Thursday 1 January 1925; a train had a collision with a car on a level crossing on the first day of GSR ownership.

Operations
The line was 31 miles long, broken into approximately 10-mile sections at Castlegregory Junction and Annascaul, where the locomotives would take water if required, and where trains could pass each other.

In 1910, at the peak of the line's usage, there were two return passenger trains, morning and evening, which on market days, Tuesday and Saturday, made a third midday trip. The trains passed one another at Castlegregory Junction, apart from the morning trips which passed at Annascaul. The journey time was two hours and 30 minutes.

The Castlegregory branch train met every train at the junction for the six-mile branch. On Saturday afternoons it ran an extra trip through to Tralee and back.

On Sundays, only the morning trip from Tralee and the afternoon return from Dingle operated, plus two connecting round trips from Castlegregory.

By 1922, there were just the morning and afternoon return trips on the main line, which passed at Castlegregory Junction, and two round trips on the branch to connect. Journey times were still the same. Sunday services had ceased.

By 1938, there were still two round trips daily on the main line, still taking the same time, but the times were altered so that in the morning a Tralee-based train ran out to Dingle and back, while in the afternoon a Tralee-based train did the round trip. The Castlegregory branch train ran through to Tralee and back in the morning, as there were no convenient main line trains to connect with, but in the afternoon made a shuttle to the junction as before.

Despite the rundown in the line's usage over time, all the timetables required three locomotives to operate the passenger services each day. In addition there were freight services, normally a round trip each day with general freight, plus extra services on market days to move cattle between Tralee and Dingle, which were the last trains to use the line. The cattle trains to the end were of sufficient size to require two locomotives.

Later years
The road between Tralee and Dingle was improved in the 1930s, allowing buses and lorries to effectively compete with the railway. The infrastructure of the railway becoming increasingly dilapidated and, in parts, unsafe. The passenger train service was timetabled to run from Dingle to Tralee in 155 minutes (for a journey of little over 31 miles), whilst the competing bus service took 105 minutes.

On Monday 17 April 1939, all passenger services were withdrawn; the Castlegregory branch was closed completely. A single daily goods train continued to run until 1947, when coal shortages forced its temporary withdrawal. Thereafter, a special train (for cattle) was operated once per month in connection with the fair at Dingle. These trains finally ended in June 1953.

An extraordinary event occurred at Dingle station on Thursday 13 June 1940, after the line's closure to passengers. A German spy named Walter Simon arrived at the station and asked when the next train would depart (not realising that only freight services were still operating). Simon had been landed by a German submarine, U-38, during the previous night. He then made his way by bus to Tralee and thence by train to Dublin. Following his enquiry at Dingle station, the Garda Síochána were informed and he was trailed by detectives. He was arrested on arrival in Dublin and interned for the duration of the War (known in neutral Ireland as "The Emergency").

Restoration

A 3 km (1.8 mi) section was reopened as a preserved line in 1993 between the Aquadome in Tralee and Blennerville Windmill. As of 2013, the railway was no longer in operation.

Extract from the appeal page from Ted Polet, webmaster of the 009 Society Dutch Group

''Early in 2009, on this page an appeal was published to the Tralee Urban District Council, the owners of the railway, to take steps to safeguard this heritage locomotive. In May, 2009, a representative of the Tralee UDC informed me that the agreement with the previous (private) operator of the railway was terminated. The parts of the locomotive were put under cover and during the summer a diesel locomotive was put into service hauling a single carriage between Tralee (Aquadome terminus) and Blennerville. All this was confirmed by repeated reports by Holger Lorenz on his Tralee Blog.''

''Although restoring 5T to working order may be far away, at least it will not rot to pieces as it would have, had the boiler, tanks and cab been left out in the open. Another good development is services being restored, even if diesel-hauled. This way the railway will at least have a chance to keep going.''
