  • Death in Kingston Upon Thames”: Analysis of the Bonner Hill Cemetery Burial Records 1855-1911
    Christopher French, “Death in Kingston upon Thames”: Analysis of the Bonner Hill Cemetery Burial records 1855-1911. (November, 2001) Introduction The last few years have seen a great deal of research into the whole area of mortality in the nineteenth century, tackling such questions as age-specific mortality, infant mortality, regional variations in mortality, and the impact of medical, environmental and general social conditions on general mortality levels.1 A major source for this research has been the Annual Reports and Decennial Supplements published by the Registrar General. These provide aggregate mortality data derived from the information provided on death registration certificates at four levels of locality: registration sub-districts, districts, counties and divisions.2 Besides this aggregate data, information on the death of individuals is contained in the Civil Registers, but since these are not available for historical research, the historian has to look elsewhere for sources which record information on individuals. If available – and comprehensive enough – such local sources can not only be used to help test conclusions reached from an analysis of the established national sources, but can also help highlight local variations in, for example, the mortality decline of the late nineteenth century and the reasons for this, and in infant mortality.3 Such a local source is the burial records held in municipal cemeteries. These are not as comprehensive as individual death certificates – cause of death is not recorded, for example.

Then from the 1840s it became a gateway to the world. Three new docks - Royal Victoria, Royal Albert and King George V - and the trades that grew around them transformed this area into the industrial heart of the world’s largest port. A busy day in King George V Dock (1965) But this success was not to last. © PLA / Museum of London When the docks closed in 1981 North Woolwich was left isolated and in decline. So a series of projects were established to revive the area, complete with new buildings and transport networks.

Initial uncertainty about services – the future of some of our key services were unclear – national decision was taken to overturn radical plans for reconfiguration Issues with our workforce – illustrated through high vacancy rates Some progress in service redesign and cross-site working, but this was not consistent Financial instability – we missed our financial targets These factors meant that we faced real challenges progressing our plans for the future. IT WAS CLEAR WE NEEDED TO STABILISE THE TRUST AND SERVICES LGT entered 2018 facing challenges on every front – workforce, quality, performance and finance. This meant that we were compelled to put some of our more ambitious plans, for example for the redevelopment of our sites, on hold while we concentrated on some of the basics. WE HAVE MADE SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS DURING THE LAST TWO AND A HALF YEARS Three years ago our vacancy rates were among the highest in London (17%), today they are among the lowest (below 9%) • While our overall CQC rating remains Requires Improvement, we have made demonstrable improvement across all areas of our quality dashboard and are now rated good for well led.
