Stonehouse Voice Summer 2019 How to save the Expert analysis of live music scene why truth and lies after demise of impact your mental The Hub Page 14 health Page 12 Welcome to your new neighbourhood newspaper We’ve launched this newspaper for Stonehouse residents and businesses because there are lots of good things happening in our neighbourhood and we plan to make sure you know about them. The main aim of the Stonehouse Voice is to celebrate all of the good stu going on from art, music and creativity to local business and social enterprise and encourage you to report and write about them. We’ll print the stories about us that most other media ignore. In fact, we’re starting a local media revolution because our stories and features are written for our community, by people who live among us. At rst, we will be appearing twice a year, but the plan is that we’ll eventually be published quarterly, and monthly after that. And as we go along, we’ll transfer the ownership of the Voice to yourselves, the community, in the form of a non-pro t Community Bene t Society. So, we’re on the lookout for a team of community journalists and designers, who live on our patch and would like to celebrate it. If you want to take a part in developing the paper through writing, design, publishing or managing just email to [email protected] or lookout for the regular workshops Above: Crafting with the Make it Up project at the Union Street Party.

  • Trojans at Totnes and Giants on the Hoe: Geoffrey of Monmouth, Historical Fiction and Geographical Reality
    Rep. Trans. Devon. Ass. Advmt Sci., 148, 89−130 © The Devonshire Association, June 2016 (Figures 1–8) Trojans at Totnes and Giants on the Hoe: Geoffrey of Monmouth, Historical Fiction and Geographical Reality John Clark MA, FSA, FMA Curator Emeritus, Museum of London, and Honorary Reader, University College London Institute of Archaeology Geoffrey of Monmouth’s largely fi ctional History of the Kings of Britain, written in the 1130s, set the landing place of his legendary Trojan colonists of Britain with their leader Brutus on ‘the coast of Totnes’ – or rather, on ‘the Totnesian coast’. This paper considers, in the context of Geoffrey’s own time and the local topography, what he meant by this phrase, which may refl ect the authority the Norman lords of Totnes held over the River Dart or more widely in the south of Devon. We speculate about the location of ‘Goemagot’s Leap’, the place where Brutus’s comrade Corineus hurled the giant Goemagot or Gogmagog to his death, and consider the giant fi gure ‘Gogmagog’ carved in the turf of Plymouth Hoe, the discovery of ‘giants’ bones’ in the seventeenth century, and the possible signifi cance of Salcombe’s red-stained rocks. THE TROJANS – AND OTHERS – IN DEVON Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Historia Regum Britanniae (History of the Kings of Britain) was completed in about 1136, and quickly became, in medieval terms, a best-seller. To all appearance it comprised what ear- lier English historians had said did not exist – a detailed history of 89 DDTRTR 1148.indb48.indb 8899 004/01/174/01/17 111:131:13 AAMM 90 Trojans at Totnes Britain and its people from their beginnings right up to the decisive vic- tory of the invading Anglo-Saxons in the seventh century AD.

  • Regeneration & Renewal of Devonport, Plymouth
    Regeneration & renewal of Devonport, Plymouth redrow.co.uk In summary: During my time as the Conservative MP for Plymouth Sutton & Devonport, Redrow was responsible for some significant redevelopment in Devonport. They went out of their way to ensure that I was kept fully informed of their plans to regenerate one of the most deprived parts of my constituency. They worked hard with the local community, including providing apprentices and materials to replace a very tired kitchen for the Devonport boxing club. Oliver Colvile Former MP 6 COMMERCIAL EXTRA42 CARE UNITS APARTMENTS 464 NEW HOMES RESTORED MARKET HALL, £3.7M NOW A DIGITAL COMMUNITY HUB CONTRIBUTIONS 2 Few housing-led projects can claim to have the level of impact on a neighbourhood that Redrow’s Vision development has had on the Devonport area of Plymouth. The decade-long, £70million redevelopment of the former Royal Navy South Yard, began in 2007 and has since transformed the area and its fortunes to create a vibrant, attractive and prosperous place to live and work. Redrow’s mixed-used Vision development includes a total of 464 homes, alongside six commercial units, 42 extra care apartments and a host of other community facilities, including a restored historic market hall, which is now set to become a digital community hub, and a central garden. Vision has contributed to major improvements throughout the area which, collectively, have made Devonport a more prosperous place where people now want to live. Indeed, according to Land Registry prices paid figures, house prices in PL1 4 - which stretches across all of Devonport – increased by 20 per cent between 2016 and 2017.
