  • Family History #3
    HOP PICKING IN OUR FAMILY HISTORY HOP PICKING LIFE It is impossible for us to really understand the interlude that hop picking had in the life of Londoners. It wasn’t an easy life and as the prices for hops fell in the 1950’s, the pay was low. But, good or bad, thousands regularly left their homes in London for the Kent hop fields. A holiday? A change of scenery? A chance to earn a few extra pennies? The opportunity for the children to enjoy fresh air and green grass? The reasons are as many and varied as the people who went. HOPPER HUT Accommodation in the hopper huts was basic even for the East Enders. I have no doubt if they were asked they would have replied that, “A change is as good as a ‘oliday!” The first job for the transplanted Londoners was to fill large sacking with straw for mattresses. Toilets were outside and bathing was of the tin tub variety {this may not have been so different from what they left behind) Most huts were made out of corrugated iron which meant cold nights and hot days. Mum said that some women took a few “specials” with them to make it more like home. A little bit of wallpaper, left over curtain material provided them with the illusion of home comforts. THE HOPPER SPECIAL For the thousands of East Enders who made the annual pilgrimage the choices of how to get there was either in a special train or open backed army trucks. The necessities of life needed for the Kent hop fields were packed into old prams and boxes or stuffed into the back of trucks with a child sitting on each as a mark of ownership.

  • Plate I. Liverpool Castle
    PLATE I. LIVERPOOL CASTLE. RESTORED FROM AUTHENTIC PLANS AMD MEASUREMENTS BY EDWARD W. COX. AN ATTEMPT TO RECOVER THE PLANS OF THE CASTLE OF LIVERPOOL FROM AUTHENTIC RECORDS; CONSIDERED IN CONNEXION WITH MEDI/EVAL PRINCIPLES OF DEFENCE AND CON­ STRUCTION. By Edward W. Cox. (Read 6di November, 1890.) DESCRIPTION OF THE FEATURES AND BUILDINGS OF THE CASTLE. T TPON a rock}'knoll, washed by the Mersey on its V_J western side, and cut off from the mainland on the south and east by the tidal waters of the old Pool, forming the estuary of a small stream falling from the Moss Lake that lay in a fold of the Great Heath, at the foot of the hills which environ the town on the east, was built the Castle of Liverpool. The rocky platform on which it stood sloped westward towards the river, and was approached only from the north. About the centre of the promontory, and commanding its area and shores on every side, the castle was set on the highest point, and was defended by a ditch cut in the rock, varying from 30 to 40 feet in width, and from 24 to 30 feet in depth. Beyond this ditch to the northward, earth­ works were thrown across the peninsula, and from O 2 ig6 Liverpool Castle. notices in early records of the herbage on these defences, they seemed to have formed a line of outworks surrounding the castle. From the western side of the rock-cut ditch, which formed the castle's second line of defence, near the northern corner, an underground passage, ten feet high, was cut in the rock down to the shore of the Mersey, which still exists below the pave­ ment of James Street, and was seen by the writer when it was opened some thirty years since.

  • The Effects of Nuclear War
    The Effects of Nuclear War May 1979 NTIS order #PB-296946 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 79-600080 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D C, 20402 — Foreword This assessment was made in response to a request from the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations to examine the effects of nuclear war on the populations and economies of the United States and the Soviet Union. It is intended, in the terms of the Committee’s request, to “put what have been abstract measures of strategic power into more comprehensible terms. ” The study examines the full range of effects that nuclear war would have on civilians: direct effects from blast and radiation; and indirect effects from economic, social, and politicai disruption. Particular attention is devoted to the ways in which the impact of a nuclear war would extend over time. Two of the study’s principal findings are that conditions would con- tinue to get worse for some time after a nuclear war ended, and that the ef- fects of nuclear war that cannot be calculated in advance are at least as im- portant as those which analysts attempt to quantify. This report provides essential background for a range of issues relating to strategic weapons and foreign policy. It translates what is generally known about the effects of nuclear weapons into the best available estimates about the impact on society if such weapons were used. It calls attention to the very wide range of impacts that nuclear weapons would have on a complex industrial society, and to the extent of uncertainty regarding these impacts.

  • Urban Warfare in 15Th-Century Castile
    Urban warfare in 15th-century Castile Guerra urbana en el siglo XV castellano Ekaitz Etxeberria Gallastegi* Universidad del País Vasco Abstract Urban warfare evokes unequivocally contemporary images. However, the Mid- dle Ages frequently witnessed combats inside cities. These confrontations usu- ally arose in two contexts: factional struggles to achieve local power, and street fighting derived from an enemy army entering the city after a successful as- sault. The aim of this paper is to analyse urban warfare in 15th-century Castile, examining its tactics and common characteristics. Keywords Urban Warfare, Castile, 15th century, Tactics. Resumen El combate urbano remite a unos referentes inequívocamente contemporáneos. Sin embargo, la Edad Media también fue escenario de frecuentes combates en el interior de las ciudades. Estos enfrentamientos solían responder a dos realida- des: la lucha entre bandos locales enfrentados por el poder y el combate calle- jero que podía suceder a la expugnación de la muralla por un ejército atacante. * Correo electrónico: [email protected]. Departamento de Historia Medieval, Moderna y América. Facultad de Letras de la Universidad del País Vasco. This paper was written within the framework of the Ministry of Science & Innovation funded Research Project De la Lucha de Bandos a la hidalguía universal: transformaciones so- ciales, políticas e ideológicas en el País Vasco (siglos XIV y XV), (HAR2017-83980-P) and of the Basque Government’s Consolidated Reseach Group Sociedad, poder y cultura (siglos XIV-XVIII), (IT-896-16). http://www.journal-estrategica.com/ E-STRATÉGICA, 3, 2019 • ISSN 2530-9951, pp. 125-143 125 EKAITZ ETXEBERRIA GALLASTEGI El presente artículo pretende definir las formas que adoptó el combate urbano en los enfrentamientos que tuvieron este escenario en la Castilla del siglo XV, estableciendo sus pautas e intentando discernir las características comunes de esta forma de enfrentamiento.

That’s my dog Spot over there. Welcome to the not-so-wonderful world of nuclear weaponry. This book is a journey from 1945 when the first atomic bomb was detonated in the New Mexico desert to where we are today. It’s an interesting and sometimes bizarre journey. It can also be horribly frightening. Today, there are enough nuclear weapons to destroy the civilized world several times over. Over 23,000. “Enough to make the rubble bounce,” Winston Churchill said. The United States alone has over 10,000 warheads in what’s called the ‘enduring stockpile.’ In my time, we took care of things Mano-a-Mano.

  • Burial Crypts and Vaults in Britain and Ireland: a Biographical Approach
    19—43 Acta Universitatis Lodziensis. Folia Archaeologica 35(2020) https://doi.org/10.18778/0208-6034.35.02 Harold Mytum https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0577-2064 Burial Crypts and Vaults in Britain and Ireland: a Biographical Approach Various types of burial chamber in Britain belonging to the period from the Ref- ormation until the 19th century have long been investigated archaeologically, but their frequency was only appreciated with the extensive investigation of St. Au- gustine the Less, Bristol, for which unfortunately there is still only an interim report (Boore 1986). The initial classification of both coffins and burial spaces was produced by Julian Litten (1985), and the variability in coffin design was greatly expanded by the investigation of the communal crypt at Christ Church Spital- fields, London (hereafter Spitalfields) during 1984–1986 (Reeve, Adams 1993). The original classification and dating sequence for burial structures proposed by Litten (1985: 10) is still valid, and it is set out in Table 1. Mainly concentrating on elite burial spaces, Litten defined four categories of burial space in 1999: large dynastic vault, family vault, brick grave and extensive private and public vaults (Litten 1999: 115). This study defines the range of types that are most frequently encountered and the form of the evidence normally surviving in these burial spaces, building on these pioneering studies. This study considers for the first time the biography of the coffin, and of the various types of burial spaces, both in terms of successive interment and some of the subsequent taphonomic processes that subsequently affect the location of the coffins within these burial spaces.
