  • Trams in Brixton 1870 - 1951
    TRAMS IN BRIXTON 1870 - 1951 Horse Trams Two Acts of Parliament, passed in 1869 and 1870, empowered the Metropolitan Street Tramways Company to construct tramways from the Lambeth end of Westminster Bridge to Brixton and to Clapham. The company got to work quickly; they lost no time in laying down double tracks with rails level with the surface of the road. 2 May 1870 was an important day in Brixton's history. It was the day when the first authorised tramcars operated in London. 1 The new trams ran that day from the Horns Tavern in Kennington Road and along Brixton Road as far as its junction with Stockwell Road. The smart blue tramcars were hauled by two horses. Cars seated 22 persons inside and 24 on the open top deck. The passengers inside sat on red velvet cushions. For top deck passengers were two wooden benches running the length of the tram; these passengers faced outwards. Trams ran every five minutes. The normal fare was a penny a mile but Parliament had required special trams to be run for workmen in the morning and evenings at a halfpenny a mile.2 As soon as the 1870 Act was passed more track laying was rushed on with, and by the end of 1870 trams were in service from the Lambeth end of Westminster Bridge to St Matthew's church, Brixton, and another line ran along Clapham Road to the Swan at Stockwell. During 1871 tramcars had reached the Plough at Clapham, and the Brixton Line had been extended to the junction of Brixton Water Lane.

  • Bankside Power Station: Planning, Politics and Pollution
    BANKSIDE POWER STATION: PLANNING, POLITICS AND POLLUTION Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Stephen Andrew Murray Centre for Urban History University of Leicester 2014 Bankside Power Station ii Bankside Power Station: Planning, Politics and Pollution Stephen Andrew Murray Abstract Electricity has been a feature of the British urban landscape since the 1890s. Yet there are few accounts of urban electricity undertakings or their generating stations. This history of Bankside power station uses government and company records to analyse the supply, development and use of electricity in the City of London, and the political, economic and social contexts in which the power station was planned, designed and operated. The close-focus adopted reveals issues that are not identified in, or are qualifying or counter-examples to, the existing macro-scale accounts of the wider electricity industry. Contrary to the perceived backwardness of the industry in the inter-war period this study demonstrates that Bankside was part of an efficient and profitable private company which was increasingly subject to bureaucratic centralised control. Significant decision-making processes are examined including post-war urban planning by local and central government and technological decision-making in the electricity industry. The study contributes to the history of technology and the environment through an analysis of the technologies that were proposed or deployed at the post-war power station, including those intended to mitigate its impact, together with an examination of their long-term effectiveness. Bankside made a valuable contribution to electricity supplies in London until the 1973 Middle East oil crisis compromised its economic viability.

Proceedings of a seminar held by the Transport Committee April 2004 copyright Greater London Authority April 2004 Published by Greater London Authority City Hall The Queen’s Walk London SE1 2AA www.london.gov.uk enquiries 020 7983 4100 minicom 020 7983 4458 ISBN 1 85261 585 0 Cover photographs Tram and guided bus ©Robert Bain Trolley bus ©Lars Freund This publication is printed on recycled paper Chair’s foreword One of the most useful and positive parts of the London Assembly’s work is to host seminars where leading experts in particular fields can inform and debate with stakeholders, politicians and local government officers. The publication of these contributions will help Londoners and their representatives to develop opinions based on well-researched information instead of speculation and prejudice. It was in this spirit that the Transport Committee of the Assembly hosted a seminar into trams, trolley buses and guided busways, with a view to informing ourselves and London about the proposals for tram and bus schemes that the Mayor is promoting through Transport for London. Peter Hendy provided a rapid but thorough overview of Transport for London’s policies, plans and programme in this area. Carmen Hass-Klau contrasted this with what is going on in continental Europe, looking at what London has to learn. She gave us a glimpse of tram projects in Nantes, Paris and Orleans, the Translohr rubber-tyred tram, and bus trains in Utrecht and Hamburg.

  • Sands End Revisited a Local History Guide
    SANDS END REvisitED A Local HISToRy GuIDE We found useful information at the Archive and Local History centre in Hammersmith. There were people that came into school and helped us with our research because they had been residents in Sands End or pupils at Langford many years ago. We also went to Elizabeth Barnes Court Old People’s home to hear more stories and memories of people who knew Sands End in the past. Some of the places in Sands End are named after people that lived here, for example Bagley’s Lane, is named after the Bagley family, locally well known for market gardening and were called the ‘Kings of Fulham’. Elaysha This local history guide about the Sands End area, has been compiled by Y6 from Langford Primary school. Working in partnership with Hammersmith and Fulham Urban Studies Centre, LBHF’s Archives and Local History Centre, and local interest group Sands End Revisited, Oak class became ‘History Detectives’ and were taken back in time to discover the stories of Sands End and the changes that have taken place over the years. By visiting local landmarks, such as the Community Centre on Broughton Road - which was once the old Sunlight laundry - examining old photos at the Archives, and sharing the memories of former local residents and pupils of Langford School, the children discovered a wealth of information, learnt about the changes that have taken place over the years and tried to uncover any secrets about the local area. The stories presented here are a mixture of fact, personal experience, and maybe a little bit of urban myth thrown in to really get you thinking! Thanks to Heritage Lottery Fund for the grant to produce the project.

These events centred upon Fulwell Tram depot which was the home of our local trams from 1902 to October 1935 The first postcard shows the Hampton Court Tram terminus and was posted in 1903. The second features a tram making its way past the Post Office in Hampton Hill High Street. The London United Tramways Company intended that Fulwell should be the centre of a vast and great tramway network. Before 1901 all public transport had been horse drawn and each horse drawn bus had needed 11 horses to run a 60 miles per day service. Trams running on rails and powered by electricity were modern, clean, efficient and glamorous.

  • Mayor's Report October 2017
    15th Mayor’s Report to the Assembly MQT – 12th October 2017 This is my fifteenth Mayor’s Report to the Assembly, fulfilling my duty under Section 45 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It covers the period from 1 September – 28 September 2017. Executive Summary Parsons Green terrorist attack Our city utterly condemns the hideous individuals who attempted to use terror to harm us and destroy our way of life in the recent terrorist attack at Parsons Green. As London has proven again and again, we will never be intimidated or defeated by terrorism. My sincere gratitude goes to all our courageous emergency responders and the TfL staff who were first on the scene at Parsons Green and my thoughts and prayers go out to all those who were injured. First draft Housing Strategy Published On 6 September, I published my first draft Housing Strategy which provides a comprehensive plan to address the housing crisis over the next few years. This includes: • 90,000 new affordable homes started by 2021; • Ensuring a better deal for private renters; • Increasing the building of more genuinely affordable homes; • Supporting new housing providers including community builders; and • Helping to tackle homelessness, with a way off the street for every rough sleeper. I also announced my intention to earmark £250 million for City Hall to use for buying and preparing land for new and affordable housing. The money made from selling the land to homebuilders will be recycled to buy further land for new and affordable homes, unlocking opportunities across the capital. Over 100 million journeys made on ‘Hopper’ fare during first year On 11 September, I was delighted to reveal that a year on from its launch, more than 100 million journeys have now been made using my ‘Hopper’ fare.
