The bus dates from the mid-1950s and operated for Maidstone and District (M&D) in south west Kent. The Friends of Chatham Traction is restoring its own bus, the sole remaining GKE 68 built in 1939. Inside Bob Ratcliffe tells the story PLUS more images of the GKE during restoration and in its heyday!

  • Andrew Larkin and Dave Puplett Title: Boun
    Publication: Taking Stock – The Journal of the National Acquisitions Group Authors: Andrew Larkin and Dave Puplett Title: Bound Together: How 3 Universities share the remarkable Drill Hall Library Edition / Volume: Summer 2014 – Vol.23 / No.1 The Drill Hall Library is one of the many Grade 2 listed buildings on the Chatham Maritime campus of Universities at Medway. This legacy building, originally known as the Drill Shed, was completed around 1902 and was a key facility for the naval base, housing servicemen during WW1 and functioning as an indoor drill area during peacetime. In 1917 the building was bombed and 135 persons were tragically killed. A plaque outside the main entrance commemorates this event and the Royal Navy holds annual dedication ceremonies on the site. The youngest victim of the bombing was 17 year old Archibald Hay, and the library café is named in honour of this young victim of war. Although it was empty from 1983 and seemingly without function, the last 9 years have seen the building take on a new lease of life and it is now full of people again, as it was during its naval heyday. The building is still very much part of the local community with ex-servicemen and members of the public visiting regularly. A history of collaboration and stock mergers existed well before the creation of the Drill Hall Library and the Universities at Medway concept. In 1996 the incumbent collection of the Natural Resources Institute (NRI) was merged with incoming stock from the University of Greenwich Schools of Science and Engineering.

    The Newsletter of the Friends of Medway Archives and Local Studies Centre Issue Number 11: August 2008 Frindsbury Cricketers This photograph from the collection of the Friends of Medway Archives and Local Studies Centre (FOMA) Chairman, Tessa Towner, will evoke memories of long hot (mythical) Kentish summers. Standing from left, John Walter (Tessa’s grandfather), 4th on left at back his brother Arthur (with peaked cap), known as Tom. Seated with cap, another brother, George Walter, landlord of the Royal Oak pub, Frindsbury. Also in the photo are probably several of the seven Skilton brothers, it was their father Joseph Skilton along with the Rev Jackson, vicar of Frindsbury, who started the Cricket Club in 1885. The date of the photograph has been narrowed down to about 1907 to 1909. Other possible names playing at this time were the Anderson brothers Colin and Donald (both killed in WWI), W.J.Coleman, A.Francis, H.Harpum, M.W.Lewry, A.Lines, A.E.Loach, N.McKechnie, D.Nye, and A.Ring. Inside this issue... We say goodbye to Stephen Dixon, Borough Archivist. After 18 years at the Medway Archives and Local Studies Centre, Stephen left in June for a new post as Archive Service Manager at Essex Record Office, Chelmsford. One of Stephen’s farewell gifts was a framed photograph, taken by FOMA Chairman Tessa Towner, of him on his boat, taken from the Kingswear Castle during the trip on Saturday 31st May 2008 to follow the 100th Medway Barge Match. About The Clock Tower The Clock Tower is the quarterly journal produced and published by the Friends of Medway Archives and Local Studies Centre (FOMA).

  • Than the Sum of Our Parts
    More than the sum of our parts How three universities share the Drill Hall Library Drill Hall Library exterior – the library is reputedly the longest in Western Europe The question I get asked most often about the Drill Hall Library is: ‘Doesn’t it get really complicated with three universities involved?’ and the answer is Dave Puplett honestly and simply: ‘Yes’. Drill Hall Library Manager [email protected] ...But I always follow up by suggesting that because every library is an economy of scale, and because every librarian is trained to find a way to put people in touch with information, the library staff at the Drill Hall just rise to the challenge. Perhaps we’re now taking it for granted; ten years ago, when the library opened, it was a bold step into uncharted waters, but now it’s an integral part of three universities’ worlds. At the Medway towns in North Kent there is a university campus for around 7,000 students who belong to the University of Greenwich, the University of Kent or Canterbury Christ Church University. The three universities share the overall location, but carefully arrange they to avoid undue academic overlap or competition. They mostly use their own offices, teaching spaces, labs, car parks, ID cards and systems. There are, however, some areas of deeper integration and the jewel in the partnership crown is undoubtedly the Drill Hall Library. Students and staff from all three universities share the Drill Hall, in the same way that students at the University of London share Senate House Library.

  • Employer Engagement and Work Based Learning: Research Findings for Kent and Medway
    Employer Engagement and Work Based Learning: Research Findings for Kent and Medway Compilation of Research Reports June 2008 Contributors Commissioning Editor Dr Mike Nicholls, University of Greenwich Aspect 1 Dr Bethan O’Neil, CM21 Aspect 2 Dr Bethan O’Neil, CM21 Aspect 3 Viki Faulkner, KM LLN Aspect 4 Mandy Hobart, Mirabeth Consultancy and Judyn Mathewman, TRC Ltd. Aspect 5 Mandy Hobart, Mirabeth Consultancy. Key Recommendations Dr Mike Nicholls, University of Greenwich 2 Introduction Kent and Medway Lifelong Learning Network has commissioned the research summarised in this report to provide intelligence on successful models of employer engagement and work-based learning. Five aspects, broad areas of enquiry and review have been identified: 1. What lessons can be learned from Institutions with major work-based learning and employer engagement links e.g. Middlesex, Derby and Chester Universities which have well established work-based learning provision? 2. Criteria for success in the regions, e.g. the NE and NW of England, where employer engagement is more successful than in the SE; 3. The range of approaches adopted by HEIs which have successfully taken up co-funded employer engagement additional student numbers (ASNs); 4. The level of demand in Kent and Medway for higher level (i.e. Level 4 and above) work-based learning, how have employers been successfully engaged locally and what types and modes of learning have been most in demand by employers and employees; 5. The infrastructure that exists in Kent and Medway for employer engagement focused on higher level skills and what opportunities there are for developing it; 6.
