  • The David Attenborough Building Pembroke St, Cambridge CB2 3QY
    Venue The David Attenborough Building Pembroke St, Cambridge CB2 3QY http://www.conservation.cam.ac.uk/ Cambridge Cambridge is a university city and the county town of Cambridgeshire, England, on the River Cam about 50 miles (80 km) north of London. At the United Kingdom Census 2011, its population was 123,867, including 24,488 students. There is archaeological evidence of settlement in the area in the Bronze Age and in Roman Britain; under Viking rule, Cambridge became an important trading centre. The first town charters were granted in the 12th century, although city status was not conferred until 1951. Cambridge is the home of the University of Cambridge, founded in 1209 and one of the top five universities in the world. The university includes the Cavendish Laboratory, King's College Chapel, and the Cambridge University Library. The Cambridge skyline is dominated by the last two buildings, along with the spire of the Our Lady and the English Martyrs Church, the chimney of Addenbrooke's Hospital and St John's College Chapel tower. Cambridge is at the heart of the high-technology Silicon Fen with industries such as software and bioscience and many start-up companies spun out of the university. Over 40% of the workforce have a higher education qualification, more than twice the national average. Cambridge is also home to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, one of the largest biomedical research clusters in the world, soon to be home to AstraZeneca, a hotel and relocated Papworth Hospital. Parker's Piece hosted the first ever game of Association football. The Strawberry Fair music and arts festival and Midsummer Fairs are held on Midsummer Common, and the annual Cambridge Beer Festival takes place on Jesus Green.

    Cambridge and Peterborough ICS Development Plan 31st March 2021 NHS England and NHS Improvement Contents Section Page Executive summary 3 System overview 4-9 Cambridge and Peterborough ICS development plan 10-22 Gap analysis 23-30 Next steps 31-32 2 | Executive summary Cambridge and Peterborough have recently been successful in our application for ICS designation. Whilst this is a significant step in our journey as a system, we also acknowledge that there is much work to be done to make the C&P ICS a success. Our ambition is to launch our ICS in shadow form during Q4 of 2021/22 before the new ICS establishment is formalised in Q1 2022/23. There are a significant number of development steps that we need to take in order to meet this ambition, which have been grouped thematically to include: • System roles and capabilities • System leadership and accountability • System oversight and quality improvement • Leadership and people development • Financial framework and use of resources • System and digital transformation Each of these themes requires a significant amount of engagement, design work, implementation work, and throughout we must ensure that we continue to deliver business as usual activities and meet our operational and strategic targets. As a result, we have developed the following plan to set out how we aim to deliver the spectrum of activities required to ensure we progress towards our future vision whilst meeting the current needs of our local population and stakeholders. Whilst developing the plan, we have ensured it will deliver against five key development areas highlighted to us by the regional team including: finance, regional clinical leadership, workforce, provider collaboration and Local Authority engagement.

  • An Introduction to the 1801 Cabinet & Chair Makers' Norwich Book of Prices
    An Introduction to the 1801 Cabinet & Chair Makers’ Norwich Book of Prices robert williams I Norwich at the beginning of the eighteenth century was the largest provincial town in England and was also an inland port, connected to Yarmouth by the river Yare. By 1801, when the second edition of the Cabinet & Chair Makers’ Norwich Book of Prices was published, it had fallen behind as the focus of economic growth had shifted to the new and developing centres in the North and Midlands. Without the mineral resources and water power that many of these centres possessed Norwich had slipped to ninth place and was now behind the main manufacturing centres and ports, which in order of size were, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Shefeld, Plymouth and Newcastle/Gateshead.1 Norwich’s prosperity had been based on weaving of worsted fabric, which had developed into a wide range of quality fabrics in bright colours, and by the middle of the eighteenth century perhaps up to half of the population was employed in cloth production. As machine made cottons captured the home market and with the advent of machine spun yarn from the north of England, the cottage industry of hand spinning on which Norwich relied went into a slow decline. The manufacturers became increasingly dependent on their export trade which sufered particularly during the wars against France of 1793–1815. By 1801 Norwich was still primarily an industrial town but the weaving trade was soon to be surpassed by leather making, brewing and agricultural products as well as banking and the beginnings of the insurance business.
