  • Calke Abbey National Trust

    With peeling paintwork and overgrown courtyards Calke Abbey tells the story of the dramatic decline of a country house estate. www.nationaltrust.org.uk/calke

    The house and stables are little restored, with many abandoned areas vividly portraying a period in the 20th century when numerous country houses did not survive to tell their story. Somehow Calke survived until 1985 when it was transferred to the National Trust thanks to special grants from the National Heritage Memorial Fund and English Heritage, an anonymous donation and a successful public appeal. Discover the tales of an eccentric family who amassed a vast collection of hidden treasures. Visit the beautiful, yet faded, walled gardens and explore the orangery, auricula theatre and the kitchen gardens. Escape into the ancient and fragile habitats of Calke Park and its National Nature Reserve.

    We're open seven days a week 364 days a year - so come and see us.

  • FRANKIE & BENNY’S

    The instantly recognisable red neon sign and warm inviting interior will ease you into the Frankie & Benny’s experience before you can take your coat off! In typical stateside fashion, great service at Frankie & Benny’s is second to none. Nothing is too much trouble for our obliging and friendly staff. So loosen your tie, relax, settle into your booth seat and relish the wonderful feeling of a very satisfied appetite!

    Legend has it that Frankie Giuliani was 10 years old when, with his Mamma and Poppa, he left Sicily and landed at Ellis Island, New York in 1924. They moved in with relatives in Little Italy. From the home country Poppa brought a little money and a lot of ambition.

    It was no surprise then, when the family opened a restaurant within a year. It was Mamma's home-style cooking and special recipe sauces that kept the regulars comin’ back for more. In 1953 Poppa retired and Frankie took over the business with his ol’ school pal Benny.

  • Melbourne Branch of The Royal British Legion

    The Royal British Legion was formed on 15 May 1921 for bringing together four National organisations of ex-service men that had established themselves after the Great War of 1914 - 1918

    The main purpose of the legion was straightforward; to care for those who had suffered as a result of service in the armed forces in the great war, whether that was through thier own service or that of a husband, son or father. Suffering took many forms, the ability for someone with a war wound to provide for his family, the struggle a war widow had trying to bring up her family alone and give them an education.

    The Melbourne Branch was first established in 1922 by three local market gardeners who donated land where The Royal British Legion club (CL0013) now stands. The club was revamped in 1997 with further improvements made later to the private members bar and the Royal Suite.

    The aim of the Royal British Legion remains the same, to provide, offer support & financial assistance and to raise funds for serving and ex service men and women, no longer a mans domain, the Womens section also hold regular fundraising events throughout the year, as do the clubs, members, committees and branch offices. Please support the Royal British Legion by becoming a member today, buy a poppy, spread the word.
