  • Prison Education in England and Wales. (2Nd Revised Edition)
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 388 842 CE 070 238 AUTHOR Ripley, Paul TITLE Prison Education in England and Wales. (2nd Revised Edition). Mendip Papers MP 022. INSTITUTION Staff Coll., Bristol (England). PUB DATE 93 NOTE 30p. AVAILABLE FROMStaff College, Coombe Lodge, Blagdon, Bristol BS18 6RG, England, United Kingdom (2.50 British pounds).

DESCRIPTORS Adult Basic Education; *Correctional Education; *Correctional Institutions; Correctional Rehabilitation; Criminals; *Educational History; Foreign Countries; Postsecondary Education; Prisoners; Prison Libraries; Rehabilitation Programs; Secondary Education; Vocational Rehabilitation IDENTIFIERS *England; *Wales ABSTRACT In response to prison disturbances in England and Wales in the late 1980s, the education program for prisoners was improved and more prisoners were given access to educational services. Although education is a relatively new phenomenon in the English and Welsh penal system, by the 20th century, education had become an integral part of prison life. It served partly as a control mechanism and partly for more altruistic needs. Until 1993 the management and delivery of education and training in prisons was carried out by local education authority staff. Since that time, the education responsibility has been contracted out to organizations such as the Staff College, other universities, and private training organizations. Various policy implications were resolved in order to allow these organizations to provide prison education. Today, prison education programs are probably the most comprehensive of any found in the country. They may range from literacy education to postgraduate study, with students ranging in age from 15 to over 65. The curriculum focuses on social and life skills.

  • World War One: the Deaths of Those Associated with Battle and District
    WORLD WAR ONE: THE DEATHS OF THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH BATTLE AND DISTRICT This article cannot be more than a simple series of statements, and sometimes speculations, about each member of the forces listed. The Society would very much appreciate having more information, including photographs, particularly from their families. CONTENTS Page Introduction 1 The western front 3 1914 3 1915 8 1916 15 1917 38 1918 59 Post-Armistice 82 Gallipoli and Greece 83 Mesopotamia and the Middle East 85 India 88 Africa 88 At sea 89 In the air 94 Home or unknown theatre 95 Unknown as to identity and place 100 Sources and methodology 101 Appendix: numbers by month and theatre 102 Index 104 INTRODUCTION This article gives as much relevant information as can be found on each man (and one woman) who died in service in the First World War. To go into detail on the various campaigns that led to the deaths would extend an article into a history of the war, and this is avoided here. Here we attempt to identify and to locate the 407 people who died, who are known to have been associated in some way with Battle and its nearby parishes: Ashburnham, Bodiam, Brede, Brightling, Catsfield, Dallington, Ewhurst, Mountfield, Netherfield, Ninfield, Penhurst, Robertsbridge and Salehurst, Sedlescombe, Westfield and Whatlington. Those who died are listed by date of death within each theatre of war. Due note should be taken of the dates of death particularly in the last ten days of March 1918, where several are notional. Home dates may be based on registration data, which means that the year in 1 question may be earlier than that given.

  • Roads in the Battle District: an Introduction and an Essay On
    ROADS IN THE BATTLE DISTRICT: AN INTRODUCTION AND AN ESSAY ON TURNPIKES In historic times travel outside one’s own parish was difficult, and yet people did so, moving from place to place in search of work or after marriage. They did so on foot, on horseback or in vehicles drawn by horses, or by water. In some areas, such as almost all of the Battle district, water transport was unavailable. This remained the position until the coming of the railways, which were developed from about 1800, at first very cautiously and in very few districts and then, after proof that steam traction worked well, at an increasing pace. A railway reached the Battle area at the beginning of 1852. Steam and the horse ruled the road shortly before the First World War, when petrol vehicles began to appear; from then on the story was one of increasing road use. In so far as a road differed from a mere track, the first roads were built by the Roman occupiers after 55 AD. In the first place roads were needed for military purposes, to ensure that Roman dominance was unchallenged (as it sometimes was); commercial traffic naturally used them too. A road connected Beauport with Brede bridge and ran further north and east from there, and there may have been a road from Beauport to Pevensey by way of Boreham Street. A Roman road ran from Ore to Westfield and on to Sedlescombe, going north past Cripps Corner. There must have been more. BEFORE THE TURNPIKE It appears that little was done to improve roads for many centuries after the Romans left.

  • 349 Sunday Bus – Latest (Good!) News (A Message from Campaign for Better Transport East Sussex): the Sunday Bus Linking Hastin
    349 Sunday Bus – latest (good!) news (A message from Campaign for Better Transport East Sussex): The Sunday bus linking Hastings – Sedlescombe – Staplecross – Bodiam – Sandhurst – Hawkhurst and Cranbrook will continue to run ‘through to the end of September’. This good news was confirmed last week by Stagecoach. The ‘summer’ Sunday service re-started in March 2017 after a gap of three years and the passenger numbers through last summer were ‘encouraging’. A much longer period had elapsed since the last winter service ran.To the credit of all parties, following last summer’s service reintroduction, the 349 has run right through this winter (as I write, temperatures have dived from spring levels in mid February to sub-arctic conditions as we reach March!). Users have been hugely grateful. Passengers on the Sunday bus have included individuals and small groups of all ages, making journeys for a whole range of purposes: going to work, for walks, lunches, to visitor attractions, church, visiting friends and families – with a good sprinkling of domestic and international tourists. There are clearly ‘two way flows’ – both within the urban area of Hastings, and to, from and within the country areas right to the High Weald villages and towns of East Sussex and Kent. In all seasons, there were some passengers who took advantage of the connection in Cranbrook with Arriva service 5 to travel on towards Maidstone. The numbers of trips taken evidence the usefulness of the route to many, especially those who do not or cannot drive. Clearly, the main attractor on the route is Bodiam Castle (National Trust), while Bodiam station on the Kent and East Sussex Steam Railway is also a draw: these two between them attract around 300,000 visitors a year.

THE WALDEN LANDSCAPE IN THE EARLY SEVENTEENTH CENTERS AND ITS ANTECELENTS Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London by John Louis Mnkk Gulley 1960 ABSTRACT This study attempts to describe the historical geography of a confined region, the Weald, before 1650 on the basis of factual research; it is also a methodological experiment, since the results are organised in a consistently retrospective sequence. After defining the region and surveying its regional geography at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the antecedents and origins of various elements in the landscape-woodlands, parks, settlement and field patterns, industry and towns - are sought by retrospective enquiry. At two stages in this sequence the regional geography at a particular period (the early fourteenth century, 1086) is , outlined, so that the interconnections between the different elements in the region should not be forgotten.

    ROYAL WARRANT HOLDERS ASSOCIATION MEMBERS’ DIRECTORY 2019–2020 SECRETARY’S FOREWORD 3 WELCOME Dear Reader, The Royal Warrant Holders Association represents one of the most diverse groups of companies in the world in terms of size and sector, from traditional craftspeople to global multinationals operating at the cutting edge of technology. The Members’ Directory lists companies by broad categories that further underline the range of skills, products and services that exist within the membership. Also included is a section dedicated to our principal charitable arm, the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust (QEST), of which HRH The Prince of Wales is Patron. The section profiles the most recent alumni of scholars and apprentices to have benefited from funding, who have each developed their skills and promoted excellence in British craftsmanship. As ever, Royal Warrant holders and QEST are united in our dedication to service, quality and excellence as symbolised by the Royal Warrant of Appointment. We hope you find this printed directory of use when thinking of manufacturers and suppliers of products and services. An online version – which is regularly updated with company information and has enhanced search facilities – can be viewed on our website, www.royalwarrant.org “UNITED IN OUR DEDICATION TO Richard Peck SERVICE, QUALITY CEO & Secretary AND EXCELLENCE” The Royal Warrant Holders Association CONTENTS Directory of members Agriculture & Animal Welfare ...............................................................................................5
