The report was commissioned from MOLA by Convoys Investment S.A.R.L.. Following the recommendations of the archaeological consultant CgMs in consultation with the London Borough of Lewisham and English Heritage, 52 evaluation trenches were excavated. Boreholes and trial pits excavated by a geotechnical contractor were also monitored. The results of the field evaluation have helped to refine the initial assessment of the archaeological potential of the site. Three main areas have been identified as particularly important: the area of the Great Dock near the east boundary of the site; the footprint of the Grade II listed Olympia building where the evaluation demonstrated that stone slipways survive; and the area of the early 16th century Tudor storehouse, a scheduled ancient monument. Other structures identified during the evaluation included: the large mast pond and the small mast pond in the west of the site; the dockyard basin; multiphase buildings; the remains of the 18th century dockyard wall; and other slipways.

    Residential update UK Residential Research | January 2018 South East London has benefitted from a significant facelift in recent years. A number of regeneration projects, including the redevelopment of ex-council estates, has not only transformed the local area, but has attracted in other developers. More affordable pricing compared with many other locations in London has also played its part.

  • Plan for Springs
    Plan for Springs The population per square mile in Springs is approximately two to six times higher than any other Planning Area1 in East Hampton. Similarly, the number of housing units per square mile in Springs is 1.6 to 2 times higher than all the other Planning Areas. Springs has the lowest number of seasonal homes of all the Planning Areas. Furthermore, Springs contains the largest number of vacant single and separate lots one half acre or less in size of any East Hampton Planning Area. The total potential build-out of Springs is approximately the same as the East Hampton Planning Area, which is approximately three times the area of Springs. Except for Gardiner’s Island, there is no land zoned for A5 Residence and there is little A3 and A2 zoning compared to the other hamlets. Most of the land in Springs was divided during the time immediately following World War II or earlier, into small suburban and urban lots sizes. A few large blocks of undivided land remain today including the woodlands between Red Dirt Road and Accabonac Harbor (including the Town protected Jacob Farm property); the woodlands between Gardiner’s Bay and Springs Fireplace Road (including the Blue Bay Girl Scout Camp); the wetlands and meadows surrounding Accabonac Harbor; the woodlands between Springs Fireplace Rd., Abrahams Path and Accabonac Road.; and a few farm remnants. These areas contribute greatly to the area’s biological diversity by supporting species that would otherwise be absent from such a densely developed residential area. The smaller islands of woodland vegetation located near these large blocks also helps to protect species diversity.

    “Between the Creeks” Gwen Pettit This is a compilation of weekly newspaper columns on local history written by Gwen Pettit during 1986-1992 for the Allen Leader and the Allen American in Allen, Texas. Most of these articles were initially written and published, then run again later with changes and additions made. I compiled these articles from the Allen American on microfilm at the Allen Public Library and from the Allen Leader newspapers provided by Mike Williams. Then, I typed them into the computer and indexed them in 2006-07. Lois Curtis and then Rick Mann, Managing Editor of the Allen American gave permission for them to be reprinted on April 30, 2007, [email protected]. Please, contact me to obtain a free copy on a CD. I have given a copy of this to the Allen Public Library, the Harrington Library in Plano, the McKinney Library, the Allen Independent School District and the Lovejoy School District. Tom Keener of the Allen Heritage Guild has better copies of all these photographs and is currently working on an Allen history book. Keener offices at the Allen Public Library. Gwen was a longtime Allen resident with an avid interest in this area’s history. Some of her sources were: Pioneering in North Texas by Capt. Roy and Helen Hall, The History of Collin County by Stambaugh & Stambaugh, The Brown Papers by George Pearis Brown, The Peters Colony of Texas by Seymour V. Conner, Collin County census & tax records and verbal history from local long-time residents of the county. She does not document all of her sources.

Porter, the U.S. Congressman, first elected in 1808 to represent western New York, were leading advocates of a war of conquest against the British over Canada. Tompkins was particularly interested in recruiting and training a state militia and opening and equipping state arsenals in preparation for such a war. Normally, militiamen were obligated only for three months of duty during the War of 1812, although if the President requested, the period could be extended to a maximum of six months. When the militia was called into service by the governor or his officers, it was paid by the state. When called by the President or an officer of the U.S. Army, it was paid by the U.S. Treasury. In 1808, the United States Congress took the first steps toward federalizing state militias by appropriating $200,000 – a hopelessly inadequate sum – to arm and train citizen soldiers needed to supplement the nation’s tiny standing army.

  • US Naval Plans for War with the United Kingdom in the 1890S: a Compromise Between Pragmatism and Theory
    US Naval Plans for War with the United Kingdom in the 1890s: A Compromise between Pragmatism and Theory Michael J. Crawford En 1890, Alfred Thayer Mahan a élaboré un plan de guerre en cas d’hostilités envers les Britanniques; pour leur part, les classes du Naval War College des États-Unis ont mis sur pied des plans semblables en 1894 et 1895. Ces plans portaient notamment sur le nord-est des États-Unis et sa frontière avec le Canada. Faisant partie des premiers exercices formels de planification de mesures de guerre de la marine américaine, ces plans représentent un compromis entre la nouvelle vision stratégique de la profession navale américaine et une conception pragmatique des limites de la flotte américaine. In 1890, a small group of US naval professionals drew up plans for war in case of hostilities with the United Kingdom, and a few years later the Naval War College classes of 1894 and 1895, as their Problem in the Art of War, a new annual exercise, elaborated plans for war with the British.1 The plans that resulted from these efforts, 1 Versions of this essay were delivered at “From Enemies to Allies: An International Conference on the War of 1812 and Its Aftermath,” Annapolis, Maryland, 14 June 2013, and the 83rd annual meeting of the Society for Military History, in Ottawa, Ontario, 16 April 2016.

  • Appendix I War of 1812 Chronology
    THE WAR OF 1812 MAGAZINE ISSUE 26 December 2016 Appendix I War of 1812 Chronology Compiled by Ralph Eshelman and Donald Hickey Introduction This War of 1812 Chronology includes all the major events related to the conflict beginning with the 1797 Jay Treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation between the United Kingdom and the United States of America and ending with the United States, Weas and Kickapoos signing of a peace treaty at Fort Harrison, Indiana, June 4, 1816. While the chronology includes items such as treaties, embargos and political events, the focus is on military engagements, both land and sea. It is believed this chronology is the most holistic inventory of War of 1812 military engagements ever assembled into a chronological listing. Don Hickey, in his War of 1812 Chronology, comments that chronologies are marred by errors partly because they draw on faulty sources and because secondary and even primary sources are not always dependable.1 For example, opposing commanders might give different dates for a military action, and occasionally the same commander might even present conflicting data. Jerry Roberts in his book on the British raid on Essex, Connecticut, points out that in a copy of Captain Coot’s report in the Admiralty and Secretariat Papers the date given for the raid is off by one day.2 Similarly, during the bombardment of Fort McHenry a British bomb vessel's log entry date is off by one day.3 Hickey points out that reports compiled by officers at sea or in remote parts of the theaters of war seem to be especially prone to ambiguity and error.
