  • The Red Plaques of Gibraltar

    The Red Plaques of Gibraltar

    THE RED PLAQUES OF GIBRALTAR This document has been compiled by: Julia Harris Contact on: [email protected] Date completed: May 2014 THANKS TO: - Gail Francis-Tiron for her help when needed - Pepe Rosado for reading this and making his valued comments - Claire Montado for giving me some of the older photos to use - My parents for their gentle ‘reminders’ to get this finished and proof reading! INTRODUCTION: These cast iron red plaques were placed around Gibraltar between 1959 and 1975 in possibly the first attempt to present the rocks history to visitors and residents. They were the work of the Gibraltar Museum Committee which at the time was under the chairmanship of the Hon. Mrs Dorothy Ellicott O.B.E., J.P. (see appendix III). Modern information boards will perhaps replace them (see ‘Future’ section below), but I hope this will not happen. They are their own piece of Gibraltar’s history. When I first noticed and started taking photos of these red plaques I looked for a record of how many there were to find. After speaking to The Heritage Trust and Tourist Board I was told there was not an up to date, completed list. So, here is mine, consisting of 49 plaques, some in situ, some not. There could be more around the rock, or in storage, as there are details of up to 53 in a document attached, dated October 1977, (see Appendix I). From this list there are 43 that I have found and are on mine, another 10 I did not find (some I know have been removed from site with no details of where they are stored) and there are 4 that I found that are not on it.

    MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER – JANUARY 2014 ________________________________________________________________________________________ 27 CONSULATE OF MALTA IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA NEWSLETTER JANUARY 2014 FRANK L SCICLUNA - LINKING MALTA AND AUSTRALIA EMAIL: [email protected] Website: www.ozmalta.page4.me MALTESE FARMER SELLING GOATS’ MILK THE CHICKEN HAWKER From paintings of Chev. Edward Caruana Dingli (1876-1950) Chev.Edward Caruana Dingli was born in Valletta, Malta of a family of artists in 1876. In 1898, he was commissioned in the Royal Malta Artillery. He studied art under the celebrated Guze Cali (1846-1930) and at theBritish Academy in Rome, Italy. He excelled himself as a painter of Maltese landscape and folklore. Edward Caruana Dingli is the twentieth century painter many Maltese are likeliest to know by name and by fame, and some of his works have long attained iconic status. So highly regarded was he in his own lifetime that in the 1920s he was utilized by the officials responsible for the marketing of the fledgling tourist industry, and in fact the colourful images of Malta and of Maltese people he produced created what contemporary managers would call “branding” for Malta. 1 MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER – JANUARY 2014 ________________________________________________________________________________________ WE FULLY AGREE WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A MALTESE CULTURAL INSTITUE Many Maltese are now resident in foreign countries, resulting in an urgent need for the promotion of Maltese culture in these countries. It is a fact that there is the potential of Maltese communities abroad to contribute positively to Maltese culture and the do our utmost to facilitate and encourage their active participation. This is one of the aims of this e-newsletter.

    Gibraltar Coincides with Channel Marmite at 5’S TV Show You Should Have Gone to Specsavers, Morrisons Writes Belinda Beckett

    www.theolivepress.es the olive press - February 5 - February 19 201419 1 ll about ibraltar AVol. 8 Issue 180 www.theolivepress.esG February 5 - February 19 2014 More than Britain in the Sun? You’re off your Rock-er... If your view of Gibraltar coincides with Channel Marmite at 5’s TV show you should have gone to Specsavers, Morrisons writes Belinda Beckett N 1987, Agent 007 parachuted onto the Rock in the open- ing sequence to The Living Daylights and, after dispatching a would-be assassin, sailed off in his yacht for more exotic climes. IIn those days, Gibraltar was not the kind of place to leave James Bond shaken or stirred. Fast-forward a quarter of a century and it’s a different story: Bond could have berthed his giga-yacht in swanky Ocean Village and strolled over to the casino for one of his trademark Martinis.
