This report meets the requirements of Policy HE6 by providing an account of the history and development of the site, including an assessment of the former Engine House and the attached ancillary buildings. 1.5 The principal listed building within the site is the Grade II listed Engine House, with its attached one- and two-storey extensions to the north east (referred to as the South Stores). The other building within the site boundary is the North Store, which is considered to be curtilage structure by virtue of its geographical, historical and functional associations with the listed building. 1.6 All of the buildings on the site fall within the New River Conservation Area. The Engine House has been identified as a local landmark building within the conservation area. CgMs Ltd © 4 JO/DM/11841 Draft Heritage Supporting Statement R/O 28 Amwell Street, Islington Turnhold (Islington) Limited 1.7 This report should be read in conjunction with the application drawings and other supporting documents, including the Planning Statement prepared by CgMs Ltd and the Design & Access Statement prepared by Tasou Associates. CgMs Ltd © 5 JO/DM/11841 Draft Heritage Supporting Statement R/O 28 Amwell Street, Islington Turnhold (Islington) Limited 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION 2.1 The application site extends to an area of approximately 0.17ha and is situated to the north east of Amwell Street, to the south west of Myddleton Passage and to the south of the recently approved development at 7a River Street. There is also a courtyard of garages to the north. 2.2 The site presently comprises two ranges of partially redundant buildings which form part of the wider New River Head site. The ranges include the Engine House (Plate 1) with attached two-storey Boiler House (Plate 2) and single-storey South Stores (Plate 3). The North Stores building runs along the site boundary to the north (Plates 8 and 9). 2.3 Within the applicant's ownership but not forming part of the current applications are the remains of the former windmill (Plate 4), and an open yard which remains in operational use by Thames Water. The windmill is included on the statutory list of buildings of special architectural and historic interest at Grade II (see list description at Appendix 1). CgMs Ltd © 6 JO/DM/11841 Draft Heritage Supporting Statement R/O 28 Amwell Street, Islington Turnhold (Islington) Limited 3.0 HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT Introduction 3.1 The engine house at New River Head formed part of a complex of buildings built for the New River Company from the mid seventeenth century to supply water to an expanding London. The establishment of the New River Head 3.2 New River Head is named from the reservoir at the mouth of the New River, which was cut from 1604-13. The site was initially developed to provide water to an expanding London, with the erection of a water house (c. 1612-3), enlarged by the end of the century, being converted to the residence of the New River Company’s engineer during the eighteenth century. 3.3 Further seventeenth-century development extended around the New River Head, but in the 1690s the company faced financial difficulties and increasing competition, a situation not helped by the acquisition of new pumping equipment by the London Bridge Waterworks. 3.4 In 1704 the merits of wind, horse or water power were examined by the Reverend John Lowthorp, a fellow of The Royal Society, who advised a waterwheel rather than a windmill, but in 1707 the water-supply engineer George Scorogold was approached by the Company, who devised an experimental and ultimately expensive scheme. The windmill 3.5 Scorogold’s scheme was for a windmill and Upper Pond, constructed in 1708 to provide a higher head of water which enabled the New River Company to improve supply to the expanding West End and also potentially to Islington. The windmill was erected in 1707-8 to the north east of the Outer Pond and was designed to pump water from the Round Pond uphill to the Upper Pond. 3.6 It was effectively an engineering experiment, being a tapering round brick tower, a rare form at the time, and was originally powered by six sails (four was the usual number), powering four pumps. An integral horse gin provided power when CgMs Ltd © 7 JO/DM/11841 Draft Heritage Supporting Statement R/O 28 Amwell Street, Islington Turnhold (Islington) Limited wind was scarce. However, this proved inefficient, especially as its base, at just under 23ft in diameter was insufficient to support the horse gin. It was therefore supplemented by and then superseded by a horse mill, a low square structure (c.1720) adjoining the windmill to the south east; the windmill was abandoned in the same year when the sails were removed following storm damage. C. 1770 the windmill’s tower was reduced to around two storeys and was castellated, being further reduced to a relative stump in the mid-nineteenth century to function as a work yard store. The need for a new scheme and engine house 3.7 The increased demand for water as London grew led to problems of pumping water to the Upper Pond, and in 1766 the renowned civil engineer John Smeaton was asked by the New River Company to make proposals for improving the pumping system. He inspected the site in the same year to establish possible methods of improving the way water was pumped to the Upper Pond, comparing the current horse powered engine (powered by four horses) with three alternative power sources, water, wind and steam. If the amount of water pumped could be increased then a water engine would be the most economical, but if the amount of water was not to be increased then a fire engine was to be the solution. On this basis the decision was made to install a fire engine designed by Smeaton. 3.8 A fire engine was an atmospheric engine, a precursor to the steam engine. His design was based upon Thomas Newcomen’s engine of 1705, and included experimental elements, notably an unusually long stroke. It was designed to more than double the pumping power of the horse works and to be cheaper. The new engine was erected by April 1768 to the north east of the former windmill under the supervision of Robert Mylne, who had become joint engineer in 1767 with the existing engineer, Henry Mill. The Engine House 3.9 The new engine required housing, and a heavily buttressed structure, to reduce vibration, was constructed between 1766-68 to the east of the existing windmill. The cylinder was housed in the larger southern chamber and the pump in the northern chamber, with two round boilers being installed in a lean-to on the south side of the tower.

    Heritage Statement and Design & Access Statement Clerkenwell Parochial School Amwell Street, Islington, ec1 Application for Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent David Gibson Architects February 2014 26 February 2014 Ref.: 0997/140226.it David Gibson Architects 35 Britannia Row London N1 8QH (fax 020 7704 6946) 020 7226 2207 Page 1 Location and Context Clerkenwell Parochial Church of England Primary School is located in the southern part of the London Borough of Islington within the New River Conservation Area. The school building and the attached former Caretaker’s House are Listed Grade II (see attached ‘list’ description – appendix A). Clerkenwell Parochial is one of the oldest extant school houses in London. If the school is to continue to run effectively and successfully, it must update itself and its surroundings, but without detracting from its charm, identity or historic character. History Clerkenwell Parochial School moved to its present site in 1828 for the education of the children in the New River Company and Lloyd Baker estates, then still under construction. The new school building, in a Tudor style and St. Mark's church, in a plain Gothic style, both by William Chadwell Mylne, the New River Company's architect, were precursors of the more vigorously eclectic revivalist styles, which were to become fashionable by the middle of the century. The Listing The school was ’Listed' in September 1972, as a ‘building of special architectural or historical interest' under Section 54 of Chapter 78 the Town and Country Planning Act 1971. The listing is at Grade II. There are now nearly 4000 Listed Buildings in Islington, of which all but a handful are Grade II, but many regard this as one of the most important because of its early date, because of its significance in the development of the historic Clerkenwell estates and because it is an unusually well-preserved pre-School Board school, retaining intact most of its original features and early adaptations - one of the few surviving in London.

    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • Obituary. Charles Greaves, 1816-1883
    CHARLESGREAVES. 355 OBITUL4RYNOTICES. CHARLES GREAVES was born at Amwell, in Hertfordshire, on the 19th of October, 1816. He wasthe eldest son of Charles Greaves,formerly of St.Paul’s Churchyard, London, and Char- lotteMylne, daughter of RobertMylne theeminent architect, who designed old Blackfriars Bridge, and for nearly fifty years held the post of architect and surveyor to St. Paul’s Cathedral, aswell as being Resident Engineer to the NewRiver Water- works for the same period. Nr. Greaves’s early years were spent on Dartmoor, thence he went to the school of the well-known Dr. Mapat Cheam, in 1824.Remaining there for about two years, he returned to his family, who had removed to Devonport, andthere he entered the Classical andMathematical School, that llad recently come under the rule of his father’s cousin, the Rev. Henry Addington Greaves. Ilis career at school was not markedby any specialbrilliancy, butrather by steady perse- verance and unflagging industry. When only thirteen years of age, young Greaves’s father died very suddenly, and the boy, the eldest of a family of six children, at once grasped the idea that hisfirst duty was to be a stay andcomfort to his widowed mother, andfor upwards of thirty years,notwithstanding the cares and anxieties of a busy, active life, he was unremitting in hisattention and considerationfor her. He wasarticled to Mr. J. M. Rendel, Past-President Inst. C.E., at Plymouth, on the 2nd of September, 1831. Thelate Mr. Nathaniel Beardmore, M. Inst. C.E., and Sir John Coode, M. Inst.

Nos. 43-53 were rebuilt by the New River Company in 1947-48 following war damage. Nos. 31-57 Myddleton Square, a terrace of 1824-7, with Nos. 43-53 rebuilt after the Second World War, is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * Architectural interest: a well-proportioned terrace forming the north and north-east sides of Myddleton Square, possessing fine stucco and cast-iron details; * Historic Interest: a cohesive architectural language secured by the development of the Square by the New River Company, founded in 1622 by Sir Hugh Myddleton; * Alteration: Nos. 43-53 were rebuilt in the same idiom by the New River Company in 1947-48 following war damage, an early example of post-war conservation-inspired reconstruction which maintains the architectural cohesion of the group and contributes further to its historic interest; * Group Value: the terrace has a high degree of group value with the other terraces of the Square and with the Church of St Mark at its centre, all listed at Grade II, with which it forms an ensemble.
