  • Urban Geology in Chelsea: a Stroll Around Sloane Square Ruth Siddall
    Urban Geology in London No. 33 Urban Geology in Chelsea: A Stroll Around Sloane Square Ruth Siddall Situated in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Sloane Square SW1, and several of the neighbouring streets are named after Sir Hans Sloane (1660-1753) who lived in the area in the mid 18th Century. The area is now owned by the Cadogan Estate Ltd. The Cadogan family inherited this from Sloane via his daughter, Elizabeth and it is still the hands of the 8th Earl Cadogan. The eldest sons of this family inherit the title Viscount Chelsea and this area is one of the top pieces of real estate in the country, earning the family over £5 billion per year. It is correspondingly a pleasant area to stroll around, the home to designer shops, the Saatchi Gallery as well as a theatre and concert venue. Development took place between the mid 19th Century and the present day and displays a range of stones fairly typical of London Building during this period – along with a few surprises. Fountain, Sloane Square, with Peter Jones Department Store behind. This walk starts at Sloane Square Underground Station on Holbein Place, and takes in the Square itself, the southern end of Sloane Street, Duke of York Square and the eastern end of the King’s Road. It is easy to return to Sloane Square station when finished, or you could visit the Saatchi Gallery which displays a collection of contemporary art to suit all tastes (and none). For the buildings described below, architectural information below is derived from Pevsner’s guide to North West London (Cherry & Pevsner, 1991), unless otherwise cited.

  • The Harvest and Post-Harvest Management Practices' Impact On
    Chapter The Harvest and Post-Harvest Management Practices’ Impact on Coffee Quality Mesfin Haile and Won Hee Kang Abstract Coffee is one of the most important agricultural commodities in the world. The coffee quality is associated with pre-harvest and post-harvest management activi- ties. Each step starting from selecting the best coffee variety for plantation until the final coffee drink preparation determines the cupping quality. The overall coffee quality influenced by the factors which involve in changes the physicochemical properties and sensorial attributes, including the post-harvest operations. The post- harvest processing activities contribute about 60% of the quality of green coffee beans. The post-harvest operations include pulping, processing, drying, hulling, cleaning, sorting, grading, storage, roasting, grinding, and cupping. This chapter comprises the harvest and post-harvest operations of coffee and their impacts on coffee quality. Keywords: digestive bioprocessing, coffee cherry, caramelization, Maillard reaction, speciality coffee 1. Introduction Coffee trees are widely grown in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America [1].

Since the 17th century Shoreditch has been an epicentre for creative trades. By the 19th century drapers, tailors, jewellers and shoe makers were all calling Shoreditch their home. These creative crafts slowly weaved an independent spirit into the fabric of Shoreditch, marking her out from mainstream London.

  • Eddie Adams Transcript
    EDDIE ADAMS BRITAIN AT WORK Interviewed by Tom Vague 240 Lancaster Road North Kensington 28/5/09 Eddie Adams was a sheet metal worker on Latimer Road in the early 50s, then he worked at the Heinz factory in Harlesden, and as an electrician for the Ministry of Works and at Ford in Dagenham. As a member of the electricians’ union (ETU), he became a shop steward and the west London convenor of shop stewards at the Ministry of Works. He later worked at the Law Centre on Golborne Road and set up the Gloucester Court Reminiscence Group. Since the 50s he has also been a leading community activist in Notting Hill. Eddie has published several local history books and is still active on various community campaigns in North Kensington. Vulcan sheet metal works Latimer Road I started work at 15. My first job was at Vulcan sheet metal works which were underneath the arches in Latimer Road (now Freston Road). This was a small industrial unit which made colt cowls, which some people may remember, you can still see a few of them on chimneys. They were to draw off the smoke from the chimneys. The firm also made ventilators, and there were roughly 20 people working there. I was 15 in 1951, that’s when I started work there and I probably stayed there for two years. It was a place where lots of young people started their working life in North Kensington. One of those fairly dead end jobs but it was an introduction to work and some skills.
