By the end of 1941 the worst of the air-raids were deemed to be over and Britain and the Allied nations, now aided by the entry of the United States into the war, began to go “on the offensive”. It was a good time for Winston Churchill to go around personally and see for himself Britain’s mili- tary developments and new weaponry, and often to be seen in the media for good morale - or propa- ganda - reasons.

Lord High Chancellor Henry Peter Brougham &. Vaux — he of the 1832 Reform Bill, and “The Greatest Reformer of All”. This First Lord Brougham, and his greatest achieve- ment, were the very inspiration for the Reform Club . Michael Brougham, C.B.E., the current, Fifth, Lord Brougham &. Vaux, will officially open the exhibition to his illustrious forebear next Tuesday, the 28th., and Mr. Terry will give his much-anticipated talk, to a gathering of the Thac keray Society there, on Thursday, 30th.. The Reform Club was founded in Pall Mall - London’s traditional “Clubland” - in 1836, and its membership was limited to those who had pledged their support for the Reform Act four years earlier. They commissioned the noted architect Sir. Charles Barry to build their “imposing and palatial Clubhouse” on the lines of a Roman Palace — which, their website says, is “as splendid today as it was when it opened in 1841”. The Thackeray Society ‘honours’ William Makepeace Thackeray, the Nineteenth- Century novelist, of Vanity Fair fame, in the plural.

ARTS OF The Flood-Stricken Brougham Old P Bridge may need to be brought down before being painstakingly rebuilt — assuming it doesn’t fall down first Bridging the Fact Gap? - to be replaced with only a footbridge — building specialists * In February 1822 the Carlisle appointed by Cumbria County Council believe. Patriot reported that a “Bridge by Using the same system as adopted for the Brougham Brougham Castle” was just one of the Hall-to-Chapel Bridge in 1991, and now underway on the many to fall during huge floods. That was perhaps wrong. It is Pele Tower at the Hall, all the structure around where there dated to 1812 by the British Listed Buildings Website - and this is damage would be dismantled, with cracked or otherwise is also backed -up now by recent mention of an 1813 dateplaque. compromised stonework removed and wholly replaced in the rebuilding work. Brougham Old Bridge which, we hear, bears an 1813 date-stone, but was erroneously thought in Hall N ews to be later, from reading an old news report *, was extensively undermined by the floodwaters six months ago, as these dramatic scenes by Christopher Terry readily show. Materials and machinery needed for a rebuild were despatched there before Easter, and ‘pontoon footpaths’ — which also appear to act as barriers to calm the waters — have been erected on either side of the Bridge. In an e-Mail to Hall News on Thursday, 19th. May, Mr. Terry wrote: “[This] selection of photographs [show] the extent of the damage to one of the buttresses at Brougham Bridge. From the photographs it would appear that some effort is being made to save this listed bridge.” The photographs in the opposite column were all taken by Mr. Terry on his way home on the evening of Wednesday 18th. May. He continues his message: — “The contractors have erected two pontoon footpaths either side of the bridge and they are extremely lucky with very low water on account of our not having had much rain for the last three or four weeks [mostly during May].

This paper presents an engineer’s account of the appraisal, investigation, assessment of structural action and the design and execution of repairs for stabilising the structure. The analytical tool employed to interpret the flow of force was a thrust-line graphical equilibrium analysis. It will be demonstrated that this analytical approach accords with the observed structural pathology, thus giving a clear understanding as to where the loads are going, that they may be effectively grappled with. Through thrust-line analysis, continued stability could be demonstrated despite substantial changes in the foundation conditions. It seems fitting that this efficient, robust and confidence-building tool is the same used by the engineers who originally designed many of these bridges.

Just before the pandemic struck, as we submitted our bid for a grant to finance our project ‘Managing Archives’, we felt after a lot of hard work that we could see light at the end of our tunnel. Unfortunately, as you know, it turned out to be a train coming in the opposite direction. Though something of a shock at the time, we are now philosophical about this. The N.H.L. Fund felt that they should cancel all current applications in order to conserve resources for dealing with the crisis then facing existing projects. None of this reflected badly on our submission and there are valuable results from it that, given the chance, we can return to.
