  • Walworth Town Hall Hoarding
    Walworth Town Hall hoarding Drawing out Walworth by Kerry Lemon Are you wondering why there is a giraffe in the middle of Walworth Square? You have come to the right place to find out. The images on the Walworth Town Hall hoarding celebrate some of the plants, animals and architecture that have special meaning within the Walworth area. You can find a brief explanation below of everything that is represented and discover something new and interesting about Walworth. The PLANTS In 1086 the Domesday book described the village life in Waleorde (Walworth) with corn growing and cows grazing. The peaches, apples and grapes grew locally in orchards and market gardens and reference the history of the area 'feeding London' from Roman times into the 1700s. They also link to the produce sold on East Street Market stalls today. Tulips were grown by James Maddock (1718-1786) in Walworth and at one time he had more than 800 different varieties in his fields. The poppy is a symbol of remembrance and hope and relates to those that signed up to join the armed forces during WW1 at the Walworth Town Hall. Echinacea is a reference to London’s oldest herbalist, Baldwin’s of Walworth Road, which has been in business since 1844. The dahlias date from 1797 when botanist Samuel Curtis issued the ‘Beauties of Flora’ a series of two floral engravings including two plates of dahlias from his own collection grown in Walworth. The ANIMALS, birds and insects An elephant, giraffe and lion were part of the attractions at the historical Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens, which rivalled the Regent’s Park Zoo.

  • Rothesay March 13Th Word Count: 568 Visual Attention 1 2 Given That Our
    Rothesay March 13th Word count: 568 1 Visual Attention 2 3 Given that our visual attention has limited resources, we selectively attend to areas that 4 contain salient stimuli (Wolfe & Horowitz, 2004) or that match our internal goals (Hopfinger, 5 Buonocore, & Mangun, 2000). At the same time, other areas in the visual display are often 6 overlooked. Thus, a designer should carefully consider drawing viewers’ attention to important 7 information and reducing viewers’ attentional load on unimportant information. 8 Web designers recently tend to present all the information on a long page, and the 9 viewers need to scroll down to see different blocks of information. This new trend is probably 10 due to frequent mobile device use in our daily life, and we become more familiar with scrolling. 11 A critical piece of information on this type of webpage is to notify people to scroll down. 12 Otherwise, this design would be a complete failure. To successfully deliver this message, 13 designers can use preattentive features, such as motion, to draw people’s attention. For example, 14 on Google Drive’s webpage, the down arrow at the bottom of page informs people to scroll 15 down. Although the color makes the down arrow to stand out from the background, the 16 additional movement of the arrow is the key factor that draws people’s attention. Thus, dynamic 17 arrows can be useful to draw people’s attention to scroll down. 18 If a webpage is filled with dynamic objects, it will create competition between 19 information. To avoid this issue, other methods should be used to draw viewers’ attention.

Everyone is welcome to the park, to discover its history, wildlife, trees and plants, to exercise and play. Myatt’s Fields Park should be an urban park of the highest quality which preserves its historic character while providing a safe, peaceful and varied environment for relaxation and recreation, and enhancing the wellbeing of all sections of the community Welcome to Myatt’s Fields Park” 2 Myatt’s Fields Park Management Plan 2016 - 2021 Foreword In Lambeth we have over 60 parks, commons, cemeteries and other open spaces, which enrich all of our lives and make Lambeth a better place to live, visit, and work. From major and local events, casual and competitive sports, reflection and contemplation, through to outdoor play spaces for children, we know that parks and open spaces are necessities in the modern world. Lambeth’s open spaces have experienced a renaissance in recent years, and we have seen our many active parks groups rise to become champions for green spaces, including exploring new models in how to manage and maintain them. We now have 16 Green Flag Award winning parks and cemeteries, the highest number we’ve ever had, and the latest Residents Survey revealed 76% of local people judged Lambeth’s parks and open spaces to be good or excellent.

  • V4 21-23 Parkhouse Street
    21-23 Parkhouse Street - FOBP response to Planning Application 19/AP/0469 FOBP object to 21-23 Parkhouse Street on the following grounds: - The height of the building is not appropriate it is not in line with current policy and is not appropriate for the character and townscape next to Burgess Park. - The design does not take into account and give sufficient weight to the planning policies on environment and wildlife - The design does not consider the adverse effect of the development on Burgess Park and the likely significant effect of the loss of sunshine and impact of shade. - Does not mitigate the effect and put in place environmentally friendly design such as e lighting, bat, bird nesting sites, green roofs, green walls or other green/environmentally friendly design features - The design does not consider the impact on the park users and the wider impact on local people’s health and well-being and the need for quality green spaces for the additional people and young people who will reply on Burgess Park for play and public amenity space and green space. - The tall buildings along the edge of the Burgess Park does not meet the character and context of the area. - Provision of playspace is inadequate 1. Negative effects on Burgess Park Visual impact – the 10 storey development is overbearing on the park, it rises above the treeline and is over-bearing and out of scale to the height of dwellings in the immediate area. FOBP disagree with the design and impact statement (5.47) that the view of the 10 storey block is barely noticeable.
