  • To Download an Outline of Our Place Strategy
    Place Strategy Introduction W hy a strategy about ‘place’? Each borough, ward and street in London has its own identity and set of dynamics. When we talk about ‘place’ we mean focussing our work on specific localities, which allows us to start from young people’s lived experience in an area and consider the multiple factors that might affect their capacity to be creative. There is always change happening in the physical fabric of London, and with an ongoing picture of growth, we are seeing shifts in the identity of local areas and creation of new communities. This strategy will help us respond to these changes. Image: Comber Grove School, photographed by Roger Brown for A New Direction Over the last three years, A New Direction (AND) has increased its connection with place-based initiatives. This includes our A New Direction is passionate work on the national evaluation for Creative People and Places and with Cultural about enabling all young Education Partnerships.

  • 25Th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain Date of Issue: 13 September 1965
    SPECIAL STAMP ISSUE 25th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain Date of issue: 13 September 1965 ‘Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.’ With these words Winston Churchill paid tribute to the men of the Royal Air Force who defended Britain against the German air assault in the autumn of 1940. Only months after the retreat from Dunkirk, Britain faced perhaps the darkest days of the entire war as the Luftwaffe launched an all-out bombardment intended to pave the way for a German invasion. For the first time in the history of warfare, an entire battle was fought in the air: the Battle of Britain took place between 10 July and 31 October 1940, reaching its climax in mid-September when the German bombers began to blitz London. By the end of the battle, the RAF had lost 911 aircraft with 414 pilots killed; Luftwaffe losses totalled 1,733 aircraft. REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL STAMP ISSUE September 1965 marked the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, and the Royal Air Forces Association (RAFA) planned a special commemoration during Battle of Britain Week, an event that had been held annually since the war. On 11 May 1964 L G Johnson, a holder of the Distinguished Flying Cross and Deputy General Secretary of the Royal Air Forces Association, wrote to the Postmaster General (PMG), Reginald Bevins MP, with a request that the Post Office issue special stamps to mark the anniversary. He wrote: ‘This turning point in our history ... should not be allowed to pass uncommemorated, and one very appropriate way which would bring the occasion to the minds of people both at home and overseas would be the issue of a special postage stamp or stamps as is customary on similar anniversaries of national importance or interest.’ Despite Johnson’s assertion that stamps commemorating ‘similar anniversaries’ were the norm, D H Beaumont of the Postal Services Department replied that a Battle of Britain issue would not be possible, based on the Post Office’s policy regarding special stamps.

  • George Edmund Street
    DOES YOUR CHURCH HAVE WORK BY ONE OF THE GREATEST VICTORIAN ARCHITECTS? George Edmund Street Diocesan Church Building Society, and moved to Wantage. The job involved checking designs submitted by other architects, and brought him commissions of his own. Also in 1850 he made his first visit to the Continent, touring Northern France. He later published important books on Gothic architecture in Italy and Spain. The Diocese of Oxford is extraordinarily fortunate to possess so much of his work In 1852 he moved to Oxford. Important commissions included Cuddesdon College, in 1853, and All Saints, Boyne Hill, Maidenhead, in 1854. In the next year Street moved to London, but he continued to check designs for the Oxford Diocesan Building Society, and to do extensive work in the Diocese, until his death in 1881. In Berkshire alone he worked on 34 churches, his contribution ranging from minor repairs to complete new buildings, and he built fifteen schools, eight parsonages, and one convent. The figures for Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire are similar. Street’s new churches are generally admired. They include both grand town churches, like All Saints, Boyne Hill, and SS Philip and James, Oxford (no longer in use for worship), and remarkable country churches such as Fawley and Brightwalton in Berkshire, Filkins and Milton- under-Wychwood in Oxfordshire, and Westcott and New Bradwell in Buckinghamshire. There are still some people for whom Victorian church restoration is a matter for disapproval. Whatever one may think about Street’s treatment of post-medieval work, his handling of medieval churches was informed by both scholarship and taste, and it is George Edmund Street (1824–81) Above All Saints, Boyne His connection with the Diocese a substantial asset for any church to was beyond doubt one of the Hill, Maidenhead, originated in his being recommended have been restored by him.
