On behalf of the Board of Governors I am pleased to report that the Museum of London has had another excellent year. My fellow Governors and I pay tribute to the leadership and support shown by Mr Rupert Hambro, Chairman of the Board of Governors from 1998 to 2005. There were many significant achievements during this period, in particular the refurbishment of galleries at London Wall, the first stage of the major redevelopment of the London Wall site, the opening of the Museum in Docklands and the establishment and opening of the London Archaeological Archive and Research Centre at Mortimer Wheeler House.The first stage of the London Wall site redevelopment included a new entrance, foyer and the Linbury gallery, substantially funded by the Linbury Trust.The Museum is grateful to Lord Sainsbury for his continuing support.There were also some spectacular acquisitions such as the Henry Nelson O’Neil’s paintings purchased with the help of the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Introduction National Art Collections Fund and the V&A Purchase Fund.

  • Roehampton Mounting Block Information Board
    MOUNTING BLOCK 1654 1654: This mounting block and unofficial milestone, to help horse-riders dismount and remount, was set up at or near this site by Thomas Nuthall of Roehampton, perhaps to mark his appointment as local surveyor of roads. 1787: A passing traveller described it, with drawings, in a letter to The Gentleman’s Magazine (the first known record of it), signed anonymously J.L. of D____, Kent. Apart from MYLS THREE SCORE Richmond Park from LONDON TOWNE, the inscriptions, most now lost, are largely enigmatic. Ogilby had two London-Portsmouth distances: a ‘dimensuration’ of 73½ miles, close to the present official distance, and 9 miles from Cornhill a ‘vulgar computation’ of 60 miles. J.L. wrote that it was “opposite the 9-mile stone.” (see below) 1814/1821: Mentioned by Manning & Bray (1814) and Thomas Kitson Cromwell (1821) but then lost, perhaps removed for road improvements. 1921: Rediscovered during the demolition of a barn in Parish Yard, off Wandsworth High Street (opposite the end of Putney Bridge Road). How it came to be there is a mystery. It was identified by local historian and nurseryman Ernest Dixon, who purchased it and displayed it in his nurseries (later garage) on West Hill. It was subsequently moved to the garden of a local house, then stored at Wandsworth Museum and the University of Roehampton. 2018: Re-installed at or near its original site.

The Government’s stated aim is to make race equality a central part of the way public authorities work by putting it at the centre of policy making, service delivery and employment practice. Under the Act, the Home Secretary has issued an Order which sets out specific duties for public authorities. The Order empowers the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE) to publish a statutory Code of Practice on the promotion of race equality. The draft Code of Practice requires public authorities to publish a Race Equality Scheme by 31st May 2002. This report sets out the Council’s proposed initial Scheme for public consultation. The final Code of Practice is expected from the CRE before 31st May 2002. Recommendations 1. The Executive are asked to recommend the Council:- (a) to approve the initial Race Equality Scheme 2002-05 embodied in this report and the associated documents, as required under the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000; (b) to publish the Scheme for consultation with the aim of a report back in the latter part of this year; and Page 1 of 62 Race Equality Scheme (c) to agree that the Scheme be included in the group of plans, strategies, etc., that together form the Council’s budget and policy framework, for which responsibility is shared between the Council and the Executive.
