a inter alia, the space in which Charles I stepped out onto the scaffold in 1649, but at a late stage this had to be cancelled for reasons right outside Peter Hattersley’s control. Hopefully a visit will be arranged in the future. All visits were otganised in minute detail by Peter, with Derek Somner providing the flawless administration.
The ever popular village walks were held in Peper Harrow, with its splendid elevated barn, in Gomshall, Shamley Green, Share and Witley. The weather was kind on all occasions except for the final couple of minutes in Share when there was a truly stupendous downpour that sent us all scurrying for cover. Jackie Malyon delighted us all with her deep local knowledge and infectious enthusiasm for which we thank her. Speaking personally, I found the small museum in Shere a real and totally unexpected pleasure. particularly the splendid home movie of a day in the village in 1947.
Vary recently 30 members thoroughly enjoyed pitching their witS against each other at Marjorits Quiz Evening held in Salter’s; a pleasant and relaxed event....weIl moSt of the time! We thank her and her helpers.
During the first week of September, eleven members spent a very enjoyable week at Hartpury College, five miles from Gloucester, during which time they made organised visits to Gloucester, the Forest of Dean, Symmonds Yat, Monmouth, Ledbury and Hereford. In addition there were a number of talks on a wide range of interesting subjects. Free time was spent in Tewksbury and on the river. Whilst accommodation was described by some as basic, the food was good and an open air swimming pool allowed the excellent weather to be enjoyed to the full. The cost at £253 was very good value. No marks for guessing who initiated and organised this rewarding trip!
I would like to end by wishing you all a very happy Christmas and a very special New Year which, despite all the media hype, will no doubt be a unique experience for us all.

The plate is of tea-plate size, made between 1822-41 in Staffordshire by Ralph Hall of Tunstall. It is from a series of “Select Views and shows Eashing Park, a house built 1729-1736 and demolished in 1957. The design is a dark blue transfer print with a wide border of fruit and flowers and a view of the house in the centre. - Previcus itemS purchased by the Friends are given on page 72 and in Mary Alexanders article on page 13.

The Peak DIars, complied by the Guildford Borough Councillor, architect and one time Mayor, who designed the 1877 fire station still standing in Ward Street, record the following entry ‘ The Bath West of England Agricultural Show was held in Shalford Park, commencing 29 May, 1871. On Wednesday, 31 May 1871, the show was attended by H.R.H. The Prince of Wales. He arrived in a special train, being received by the Earl of Cork, the President of the Society, and others. The Fire Brigade formed a guard of honour for the Mayor and Corporation, and the route was lined by the j3th and 24 Surrey Volunteers (Guildford). ( The Prince of Wales was an ardent part-time fireman with Londons Metropolitan Fire Brigade and kept a kit of uniform at the Chandos Street Fire Station, where he would Sometimes keep watch with the men on duty in the hope of attending a fire call).
The similarity of purpose between military men and firemen seems to have often been noted, for at Guild ford Brigade’s annual dinner at the beginning of the New Year of 7877, a councillor, on behalf of the Corporation, expressed that Body’s thanks to the Volunteers. As reported in the Surrey Advertiser, 7-Ia went on to say that their uniform was very imposing and well suited for tackling the elements which they had always shown such zeal in encountering. He said he was very much struck by their manly appearance, but waS not sure about their helmets, as he thought they gave them a certain warlike Prussian appearance, and although he hoped that they might always be able to repel their foe on every occasion, he hoped they would never become so fond of fire as the Prusians were. fhear hear.)’ At Dorking, the local rifle corps used the fire Station drill yard as their drill ground, and numbers of men from the volunteer fire brigade were aIo members of the rifle corps. Mr. Shearburn, a local architect and captain of Dorking’s fire brigade was, for a while, an officer in Pege8 the volunteer rifle corps. being of a fiery nature, his conduct in that body forced his early retirement from the militia, freeing him to continue to create fireworks in the council chamber as a town councillor, and to extinguish local fires.
The relationship between militiamen and firemen probably stemmed from much earlier days, before Sir Robert Peel’s Act of 1829 brought about the eventual formation of organised police forces throughout the country. Fires have always attracted large crowds, which without firm control could hamper firefighting and enable looting and pickpocketing amongst the sightseers. Without an organised police force, the only disciplined body available to enforce taw and order were uniformed soldiers. They were often called in for crowd control as well as to assist to man the fire pump handles. At a serious fire in Richmond on May 12th, 1885, Captain Parratt and his men of the 3rd Royal Surrey Militia assisted the firemen by maintaining crowd control. ( A sword presented to Major Parratt of that unit is held by the museum of the Queen’s Royal West Surrey Regiment). In Victorian times, many volunteer brigades, such as, Haslemere and Mickleham used military ranks titles, and all ranks of the Epsom brigade were known as subalterns. Many chief officers of local brigades were tided Captain because they actually held a Queen’s military commission, and some, as at Weybridge, Haslemere and Caterham, rode horses and wore military type pouch belts. The special connection continued in 1899 with the commencement of the Boer War, for at that time, the National Fire Brigades Union, (not a trades union), had its head office at Trinity Chambers, Guildford. Its general secretary, Mr. Folker, was a local auctioneer, a former Borough Gouncillor and the secretary for some years of the Guildford Volunteer Fire Brigade. Through his initiative, firemen volunteers wCre recruited nationally to form a contingent which trained with members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade to act as hospital orderlies and stretcher bearers at an Imperial Yeomanry hospital at Deelfontein in South Africa. So successful were they in their task that they were mentioned in despatches and a second cointingent was formed and went to South Africa. The Chief Surgeon of the N.F.B.U. was Major F.R.Russell, who at a later date had a practice in Chertsey Street, Guildford. The firemans war service increased standards of efficiency in first aid within fire brigades, so that very many volunteered to join the Royal Army Medical Corps to serve in Flanders in 1914. The head of the corps in that area was a Lieut: Col. Slogget, who had been in charge of the Deelfontein hospital where firemen had given Boer War service fifteen years earlier, Fc 9

way. A Friends of Lancaster flTzirIHm fflucum As the result of a contact Peter Hattersley made, we have received a kind invitation from Chris Oxborrow, Chairman of The Friends of Lancaster Maritime Museum, to make ourselves known to them should we be up that way. Their excellent museum is housed in the beautiful Lancaster Custom House on St George’s Quay, designed by Richard Gillow in 1764. It houses the essential features of the towns maritime history from deep-sea trade to coastal trade and ferry services. Modern history is represented by displays covering ship-breaking. Nuclear Power and Natural Gas, Indeed 10% of the nations natural gas comes from Morecambe Bay.
The Friends usually meet on the last Sunday in the month either for a lecture or a visit, and Chris says Why not join us? Their bookshop has a fine range of ‘study -aid’ booklets each under £2. The Friends can be contacted by phone on 01524-64637 ext 28 or you can e-mail Chris for further details at lanc(riends@oxborrow&freeserve.co.uk. Short Break at Plymouth Following the success of this years holiday at Hartpury near, Gloucester Peter Hattersley has been discussing with SAGA the possibility of a four night visit to Plymouth, next October, staying at the Grand Hotel. The cost wIll be about £300 or maybe a fraction less and this includes 4 nights bed and breakfast, 1 dinner, and one full day excursion.
The provisional itinerary includes a visit to Dartmouth Naval College, Castle and Coleton Fishacre (National Trust), a private tour of Plymouth Museum and Art Gallery,Crownhill Fort, the Elizabethan House, the Merchants House, Dartinyton Glass Works, Mount Edgoome Tudor Mansion ( by ferry). In addition guided tours are proposed of the Royal Citadel, the Royal William Victualling Yard and Devonport Naval Base. Should our group be in excess of 30 we can choose our own programme.
If you are interested or might be interested give Peter a ring NOW on 01483 282507 and let him have your views so that a suitable programme for all can be worked out.
