  • For Immediate Release: August 23, 2007
    For immediate release: August 23, 2007 MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL MEMORIES IN PICTURES The life and history of The Middlesex Hospital is captured in all its glory with a new book published by UCLH Charities. Middlesex Memories is a wonderful series of photographs and memory vignettes that capture the life and importance of the hospital which was based in Goodge Street and sold in June last year by University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation trust for £175m. This much loved hospital had a very distinguished history stretching back over 250 years and was home to many medical and surgical innovations. But by 2005, time finally ran out for the Middlesex Hospital buildings, as it was overtaken by modern healthcare requirements and its services were decanted to the new University College Hospital. UCL Hospitals is an NHS Foundation Trust incorporating the Eastman Dental Hospital, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson & Obstetric Hospital, The Heart Hospital, Hospital for Tropical Diseases, National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery, The Royal London Homoeopathic Hospital and University College Hospital. This book by photographer and erstwhile healthcare planner, Carole Rawlinson, of Muswell Hill, provides a snapshot in time of The Middlesex after it closed. It links pictures of parts of the Middlesex Hospital building to people’s personal memories of the hospital at particular points in their lives as staff or patients. The book does not claim to provide a comprehensive history of The Middlesex, but for anyone associated with the hospital, the pictures will bring their own memories flooding back. UCLH Charities is a registered charity and provides support for patients and staff through training, additional equipment, improvements to clinical services and supporting pioneering research projects within the trust.

  • Mortimer Street
    DRAFT CHAPTER 26 Mortimer Street In its original form, as shown on John Prince’s 1719 plan for the Cavendish– Harley estate, Mortimer Street extended from Cavendish Square to Wells Street. Taking its name from the Earl of Oxford’s second title Earl Mortimer, the street was built up from the mid 1730s, following the demolition of the Boarded House, which stood close to its path near the junction with Wells Street (see page ###). The smarter Cavendish Square end, cut off by the creation of Regent Street, was renamed Cavendish Place in 1859 and is separately discussed on page ###. Beyond Wells Street, the eastern portion of present-day Mortimer Street was originally developed as Charles Street, part of the Berners estate, and named after the landowner William Berners’s son and heir. The Middlesex Hospital was built there in 1755–7, house-building following on from 1759. This somewhat lowly street was almost entirely merged with Mortimer Street in 1879 – a very short section east of Cleveland Street, in St Pancras parish, became part of Goodge Street at the same time. Besides shifting Mortimer Street’s identity, these changes of name involved general renumbering of the houses, so that confusion over nineteenth-century addresses easily arises. The short side-street Nassau Street, also described in this chapter, was laid out in the 1760s as part of the Berners estate development, under the name Suffolk Street. Development of the central section of Mortimer Street was mostly undertaken by three individuals responsible for much building in south-east Marylebone – the digger and brickmaker Thomas Huddle, carpenter John Survey of London © Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London Website: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/architecture/research/survey-london 1 DRAFT Lane, and plasterer William Wilton.

  • Charles Dickens Post Mortem & Bare Life Under the New Poor
    THE EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF LIFE WRITING VOLUME IX (2020) LW&D81–LW&D107 Charles Dickens Post Mortem & Bare Life Under the New Poor Law Ruth Richardson King’s College London ABSTRACT The theme of this article is how life writing can bury things, sometimes for generations, and how secrets buried in life can re-emerge after death, and disturb.1 Lives often make best sense read backwards, so here we start with revelations that emerged only after Charles Dickens’s death: in his will, and in John Forster’s famous biography and its use of the important document known as the ‘autobiographical fragment’ written by Dickens himself in the late 1840s. Forster covered gaps in the biography by guiding attention away from certain aspects of Dickens’s life, in particular his family’s geographical origins. Forster’s decisions concerning what secrets could be shared have worked to influence gen- erations of biographers. Recent discoveries have brought fresh light to Dickens’s life after both Dickens and Forster had been dead for over a century. Attention is given to why some of these discoveries had not been made sooner, their implica- tions and reverberations, and a fuller understanding is shared of Dickens’s fierce antipathy to the cruelties of the workhouse regime under the UK New Poor Law. Keywords: workhouse, mortality, human dismemberment, predation, mythopoeic biography DICKENS AFTER DEATH After he died unexpectedly in 1870, Charles Dickens was buried in Westminster Abbey rather than at Rochester, closer to his home at Gads European Journal of Life Writing, Vol IX, 81–107 2020.

This report highlights some of the partnership’s achievements from the last 12 months. A key focus of the partnership has been its work with NHS England and local providers in the development of plans for the reconfiguration of specialist cancer and cardiovascular clinical services and improved support along the whole pathway of care. The changes and improvements in care resulting from the reconfiguration have the potential to save some 1,200 lives per year; directly addressing these two conditions that together account for 60% of premature deaths in our population. We have enjoyed increasingly active engagement with primary care and clinical commissioning groups this year, and our collaboration with Anglia Ruskin Health Partners has seen the establishment of an improvement academy in Essex. The partnership has seen two substantial mergers in the last 12 months.

  • Living in Fitzrovia: Area Guide to Homes, Schools and Transport
    Living in Fitzrovia: area guide to homes, schools and transport To this central area with fine Georgian buildings come new continental-style cafés, pocket parks and a £1bn station revamp for Crossrail. ANTHEA MASEY Tuesday 16 April 2019 This Easter weekend will see a new dawn of pavement cafés, improved air quality and pocket parks for Tottenham Court Road, the eastern boundary of Fitzrovia, in a £35 million redesign by Camden council. The authority says the scheme, which sparked street protests by taxi drivers, “provides a safer, greener and more attractive street for residents and visitors”. Known as the West End Project, it got the go-ahead four years ago and will return Tottenham Court Road to two-way traffic. Controversially, it will also ban all traffic except for buses and bikes from part of the road every day from Monday to Saturday between the hours of 8am and 7pm. The central London district north of Oxford Street and south of Euston Road between Tottenham Court Road and Great Portland Street, Fitzrovia has an almost continental feel. Its streets are packed with cafés, bars and restaurants plus a mix of homes, some fine Georgian architecture and many creative businesses, including architects and advertising agencies. Homes here aren’t cheap but that traditional bohemian, rough-around-the- edges feel that gave it such charm is making way for smart new schemes by leading architects. The two most prominent are Rathbone Square off Rathbone Place and Fitzroy Place, the redevelopment of the former Middlesex Hospital site in Mortimer Street. Both have brought a mix of offices, shops, cafés and new homes.
