    Draft London Plan Consultation: ref. Chapter 7 Heritage - Neglect & Destruction February 2018 The “Lillie Enclave” Fulham Within a quarter mile radius of Lillie Bridge, by West Brompton station is A microcosm of the Industrial Revolution - A part of London’s forgotten heritage The enclave runs from Lillie Bridge along Lillie Road to North End Road and includes Empress (formerly Richmond) Place to the north and Seagrave Road, SW6 to the south. The roads were named by the Fulham Board of Works in 1867 Between the Grade 1 Listed Brompton Cemetery in RBKC and its Conservation area in Earl’s Court and the Grade 2 Listed Hermitage Cottages in H&F lies an astonishing industrial and vernacular area of heritage that English Heritage deems ripe for obliteration. See for example, COIL: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1439963. (Former HQ of Piccadilly Line) The area has significantly contributed to: o Rail and motor Transport o Building crafts o Engineering o Rail, automotive and aero industries o Brewing and distilling o Art o Sport, Trade exhibitions and mass entertainment o Health services o Green corridor © Lillie Road Residents Association, February1 2018 Draft London Plan Consultation: ref.

    PROGRAMME: 2017-2018 Tuesday 26 September 2017 Talk: The dynamics of masonry arches Bill Harvey and Hamish Harvey, Bill Harvey Associates Masonry bridges are starting to show signs of distress as loads increase. (They never call them arch bridges and will explain why.) They will talk about behaviour in general, show how their measurements of live load response help understanding and how 3D modelling from photographs is about to make a massive impact on conservation of all kinds. Bill spent 23 years researching behaviour as an academic and now has 17 years of fieldwork on real bridges as a consultant. Hamish joined the company 7 years ago. Their customised analytical tools have reduced temporary works costs and shortened programmes for railway and station works, and avoided damage to the original vaults in the National Museum of Scotland.

By working in partnership with and promoting local business we keep ourselves at the heart of the community. And our range of events shows how we want to stand for all.

  • Charles Empson
    Charles Empson by David Zuck Honorary Consultant Anaesthetist, Enfield Health District, Past President, History of Anaesthesia Society. Summary Charles Empson was the uncle of John Snow. Little has been known of his life, which turns out, in his early years, to have been an adventurous one. This paper gives an account of him, set in the history of his times, and of his relationship to John Snow. Charles Empson is of interest to several groups of people; to those concerned with the history and exploration of South America; or with its pre-Columbian artefacts; or with the history of Bath; or to anaesthetists, because he was the uncle of John Snow. But Charles Empson has remained a shadowy figure in the life of his nephew, although their relationship was very close, and Snow is described as having been devotedly attached to him. 1 However, recent research into Snow’s family and background has revealed also something about Empson, who is now seen to be an interesting person in his own right, and who perhaps had more of an influence on Snow than has previously been perceived. John Empson = Mary Askham (or Ascomb) * ——————————————-------- * * * * * William Snow = Frances Hannah Charles John William * John and eight brothers and sisters Fig 1. The Empson and Snow Families The family lived in Yorkshire. As regards their kinship, (Fig 1) it is known that John Snow’s mother, Frances, or Fanny, was the base born or illegitimate daughter of Mary Askham. Her baptism, on 15th February 1789, is recorded in the Ledsham parish register. There were Askhams in Ledsham from at least the 1660s, spelled variously as Askham, Askam, and Ascomb, and both Francesca and Francis were family names.

  • Royal Parks: 1 Root and Branch Restorations
    Royal Parks: 1 Root and branch restorations The Royal Parks cares for eight of London’s most spectacular and significant green spaces, covering over 5,000 acres of historic parkland. 2 3 LDA Design’s relationship with The Royal Parks spans decades, and is award winning. Together, we have restored historic landscapes based on archaeological investigations and furthered sensitive designs that appeal to new audiences, within Grade I registered landscapes. For Kensington Gardens, we redesigned the North Flower Walk, first established by William Forsyth in the 18th century after his demolition of George II’s ‘Breakfasting House’. We also led the reconstruction of Bridgeman’s three-hectare Round Pond, west of Kensington Palace. The restoration was based on archaeological investigations with modifications to improve safety and make it more appealing to modern park goers. Access improvements and alterations were also made to the Grade II listed Black Lion and Palace Gates, north and south of The Broadwalk.

  • Open Days AU2012 0808 V8 Cft.Qxp Layout 1
    Independent school open days Central London, Autumn Term 2012 Most schools have open days this term, whilst others like to arrange individual tours. We recommend parents visit schools and register at least 2 years prior to the intended year date entry. Wetherby School in W1 (boys 7-13yrs) is the only prep school that still requires registration at birth. Pembridge Hall, W2 (girls 4-11yrs) also requires registration prior to the 1st birthday. NB. Radley School, nr Oxford (boys 13-18yrs) is the only senior boarding school that requires registra- tion at birth and places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. What do we mean by 4+ or 7+? These age groups are the main intake years (ie 7+ means children will start in the year they are 7 turning 8). The equivalent would be Yr3 - or Juniors - in the state sector. Some open days are only relevant for specific year groups. There may be occasional spaces for children in other year groups so it is always worth asking.

  • MGLA260719-8697 Date
    Our ref: MGLA260719-8697 Date: 22 August 2018 Dear Thank you for your request for information which the GLA received on 26 June 2019. Your request has been dealt with under the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004. Our response to your request is as follows: 1. Please provide the precise number and list of locations/names of primary and secondary schools in London where air pollution breaches legal limit, according to your most recent data (I believe the same metric has been used across the years, of annual mean limit of 40ug/m3 NO2, but please clarify). If you are able to provide more recent data without breaching the s12 time limit please do. If not, please provide underlying data from May 2018 (see below). Please provide as a spreadsheet with school name, pollution level, and any location information such as borough. This data is available on the London datastore. The most recent available data is from the London Atmospheric Emission Inventory (LAEI) 2016 and was published in April 2019. The data used for the 2018 report is LAEI 2013. Please find attached a list and a summary of all Educational Establishments in London and NO2 levels based on both the LAEI 2013 update and LAEI 2016. The list has been taken from the register of educational establishments in England and Wales, maintained by the Department for Education, and provides information on establishments providing compulsory, higher and further education. It was downloaded on 21/03/2019, just before the release of the LAEI 2016. The attached spreadsheet has recently been published as part of the LAEI 2016 stats on Datastore here.
