Dann-Lewis Photographic Collection P DX322 University Museums and Special Collections Service Dann-Lewis Photographic Collection P DX322 c.1880s - 1930s 46 boxes (c.1775 items) Accession number: c.1880s - 1930s Dann-Lewis Photographers, 1856 - c.1940, of Reading The history of the Dann-Lewis photograph studio, which remained a family firm until its closure in the 1940s, began in 1856 when Mrs Dann opened a shop at 35 Broad Street. This almost undoubtedly makes her Reading's first female professional photographer, and something of a pioneer. Fox Talbot had removed his business from the town less than a decade previously, and since then only Alfred Barber (a daguerrotypist) is known to have been operating in Reading. Indeed, social conventions dictated that Mrs Dann's husband Francis, a Great Western Railway worker, should give his name to the business. The studio was therefore registered as belonging to him, and his name appeared both over the door and in the local business directory. Although portraiture provided much of the early business, engagements also included local scenes and landmarks, pictures of outlying villages, important buildings, developing x-rays for the Hospital and regular visits to the Reading Police Station to photograph new prisoners. Further premises had been acquired at 744 Oxford Road by the late 19th century. On Mrs Dann's retirement, the business was taken over by her grand-daughter, who had grown up in the family business. Her marriage to Mr Henry Lewis (noted for his "Magic Lantern Shows") led to a combination of their names: the business became Dann-Lewis, and is listed as such in the 1903 local directory. By that time the business had moved from Broad Street to London Street. When Henry Lewis died, his son, Walter, ran the business, by then at 27 Argyle Street, until its closure some time after the Second World War. The Dann/Lewis collection was deposited in the Rural History Centre by Mr Henry Lewis of Swallowfield in April 1984 It consists of about 2000 glass plate negative, together with a few original prints and documentation (P DX322/P1-7) An accurate dating system is yet to be established, but it is thought that most were taken between the 1880s and the 1930s. All the negatives and prints within the collection have been digitised and attached to the catalogue (with the exception of the 16 x 20 glass plates [P DX322 PH1/DL9/1-23]) as part of the Reading Connections Project funded by Arts Council England (ACE), April 2013-April 2014. 1 University Museums and Special Collections Service System of The main series of Negatives (P DX322/DL1-1166) appear to be in Arrangement: their original order, while other items are arranged in nine supplementary series (from P DX322/DL1/1 to P DX322/DL9/23).

    RESIDENTIAL PLANNING COMMITMENTS AT 31 MARCH 2020 Information on the progress of residential development between 1 April 2019 and 31 March 2020 in Reading Borough READING BOROUGH COUNCIL – RESIDENTIAL COMMITMENTS 2020 RESIDENTIAL PLANNING COMMITMENTS AT 31 MARCH 2020 Information on the progress of residential development between 1 April 2019 and 31 March 2020 in Reading Borough Published June 2020 - 1 - READING BOROUGH COUNCIL – RESIDENTIAL COMMITMENTS 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This publication looks at commitments for housing in Reading Borough at 31 March 2020. It deals with change in the number of dwellings, based on the planning process. It includes those sites that have planning permission (hard commitments) and those that have been identified in principle as being suitable for housing development (soft commitments). The key net figures for Reading Borough for the monitoring year 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020 are summarised below: With Total hard Newly permission Under commitments Soft Total hard permitted Completed Lapsed but not construction outstanding commitments and soft dwellings started (N/S + U/C) 492 3,754 1,633 5,387 8,797 14,184 524 104 Completion numbers are at a relatively low level this year compared to the strong delivery over recent years, and are below the Local Plan annual target of 689 dwellings. The exceptionally high number of dwellings under construction would under normal circumstances have suggested that this is more likely to be down to natural fluctuation, with high completion levels to be expected in forthcoming years. However, the social distancing measures introduced near the end of the monitoring year which affected construction sites, and the likelihood of a recession as a result of Covid-19 measures means that there is significant uncertainty.

  • Email Exchanges Between Wokingham Borough Council And
    From: Sent: 27 March 2020 11:36 To: [email protected] Subject: GE202003362 - ONR resposne to Wokingham Borough Council Local plan Update Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Completed Dear Sir/Madam, In response to your emails dated 3 February and 18 March regarding the 2020 Wokingham Borough Local Plan Update consultation, please find below ONR’s response, which is provided in line with our Land Use Planning policy published here http://www.onr.org.uk/land-use-planning.htm. Since ONR responded to the previous draft Local Plan Update consultation on 21 January 2019 (see email below) the proposed development locations included in the draft local plan have significantly changed. Additionally, the Detailed Emergency Planning Zone (DEPZ) for the AWE Burghfield site has been re-determined by West Berkshire District Council under the Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations (REPPIR) 2019 resulting in a larger DEPZ. ONR’s current position remains that we would be likely to object to: • developments within the DEPZ, unless the West Berkshire District Council emergency planner provides adequate assurance to ONR that any adverse impact on the operability and viability of the off-site emergency plan could be mitigated. • large scale developments within the circular 5km Outer Consultation Zone (OCZ), which extends beyond the DEPZ from grid reference SU684680, unless the West Berkshire District Council emergency planner provides adequate assurance to ONR that any adverse impact on the operability and viability of the off-site emergency plan could be mitigated. ONR has previously responded regarding the two development locations below which are included in both the 2018/19 Local Plan Update consultation and the 2020 Local Plan Update consultation: 1.

  • St Peter's Conservation Area Appraisal
    St Peters Conservation Area Conservation Area Appraisal November 2018 To the memory of Liz Killick, who was instrumental to achieving this appraisal St Peter’s Conservation Area Appraisal Foreword by Councillor Tony Page, Lead Councillor for Strategic Environment Planning and Transport and Heritage Champion for Reading Borough Council. Reading is a town of many contrasts. It enjoys an excellent reputation as the capital and economic centre of the Thames Valley. However, Reading also has a rich historic heritage going back over 900 years and these aspects sit side by side in the vibrant town we enjoy today. To be able to respect our historic past while providing for an exciting future for the town is a particular challenge that Reading Borough Council intends to meet. The work undertaken to re- open the Abbey Ruins in 2018, within the new Abbey Quarter, is indicative of the Council’s promise to respect and enhance our historic past for the future. Reading’s valuable history has led to the designation of 15 Conservation Areas within the Borough, all supported by written Conservation Appraisals. Many of those appraisals are now relatively old and in need of review. Reading Borough Council is very grateful that various local communities, who have the intimate knowledge and understanding of their areas and local history, have initiated the process of reviewing our Conservation Area Appraisals. The Review of the St Peter’s Conservation Area Appraisal is the first appraisal to be formally reviewed under this new community led arrangement. The review has been underpinned by the knowledge, research, hard work and enthusiasm of volunteer members of Reading’s Conservation Area Advisory Committee and a number of interested local individuals.

A number of people from within the church community and the wider community of Purley have spoken to me about this œ expressing concern about the effects of such a withdrawal on our community life. I was glad to hear of that concern, but words of sympathy and concern alone are not enough. They will change nothing. What is needed is our action œ that has a real possibility to affect outcomes. So if you are concerned about the abolition of the Post Office Card Account, please do something to put that concern into action. Write to Martin Salter MP and ask him to sign the Early Day Motion tabled by Kate Hoey. (At the time of writing œ 9 March 263 MP's had signed it.) 1 THE RIGHT TO JUSTICE Whilst on this subject of words of concern becoming deeds of action, I would like to draw your attention to another matter of great importance.
