The City Surveyor London’s Lost Jewels are an amazing treasure chest of gems, the biggest cache of its kind in the world. They were probably a jeweller’s stock and were buried between 1640 and 1666, a few hundred yards from the modern museum. They lay there for almost 300 years, and the builders who found them took the gems, not to the Goldsmiths’ Company but to a Wandsworth pawnbroker and antique dealer called George Fabian Lawrence. ‘Stony Jack’, as he was known, was also employed by new London Museum and he was keen to secure the treasure for it. The navvies were rewarded for their find and the hoard was eventually granted to the museum. Apart from a showing in 1914, it has not been seen in its entirety since then.

    Brief Synopsis of economic impact of slavery in USA 1619 – 1863-> 244 years. [Followed by Slavery Time line.VM] The First shipment of 94 involuntary migrants from Africa arrived in Jamestown, VA in 1619 94 healthy men, women and children were bought and sold like chattel. By 1860's there were 4 million contributing to the wealth and power of the USA e.g. 4 million bales of cotton were produced annually. About the time the Constitution was adopted in the final state Rhode Island in 1790 about 4,000 bales of cotton were produced and 700,000 involuntary migrants from Africa were being bought and sold like one of the bales of cotton. VM Slavery Timeline 1901-2003 A Chronology of Slavery, Abolition, and Emancipation WARNING! Page under Construction! Some useful information may be available, but there are large gaps This page will, over time, develop into a detailed timeline of the main historical, literary, and cultural events connected with British slavery, abolition, and emancipation between 1901 and the present day. It also includes references to the most significant events taking place outside of the British zone of influence. At the start of the twentieth century Britain, despite being the world's largest empire, was officially opposed to slavery wherever it could be found. In reality, other forms of coerced labour had emerged around the world. In many areas slavery remained - and remains to this day - a serious problem.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.

  • Black Georgians
    Subject Guide Black Georgians Ref. Wong/6/98 Ref. AN/3 Ref. EPHEMERA/292 Background The Georgian period covers the years 1714 to 1837, from the reign of King George I, the great grandson of King James I, through to the end of King William IV’s reign. For some, the Georgian period extends only until 1830, finishing with the death of King George IV. This subject guide, however, recognises the regency of King George IV’s brother, King William IV, which ended with his death in 1837. In 1837, Queen Victoria ascends to the throne, ending the Georgian period and introducing the Victorian period. The Georgian period was a time of immense growth and change in Britain, a pivotal point in British history. The emergence of Industrialisation during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries changed the landscape and economy of Britain forever, through the introduction of steam engines, large-scale production factories, and the development of a new network of canals.1 During the eighteenth century, there were a number of pioneering individuals who worked relentlessly as abolitionists, poets, political leaders, and radicals. They actively challenged prevailing notions of white supremacy and the system of enslavement that, until then, was dominating British consciousness. A number of these individuals published first- person testimonies relating the horrors of enslavement. These forcefully drew attention to a trade that many in Georgian society were unable to fully comprehend. These prevailing notions of white supremacy were challenged in all aspects of British society, through the arts, politics and sports. Whilst there were a number of prominent figures leading and shaping the campaign for racial equality in Georgian Britain, there were a larger number of more “everyday” Black Georgians, working particularly as domestic servants.

It includes 682 buildings and sites known to be at risk from Tneglect, decay or inappropriate development - everything from an early 18th century church designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor, to a boathouse built during WWI on an island in the Thames. These are sites that need imagination and investment. In London the scale of this challenge has grown. There are 12 more assets on the Heritage at Risk Register this year compared to 2015. We also know that it’s becoming more expensive to repair many of our buildings at risk. In the face of these challenges we’re grateful for the help and support of all those who continue to champion our historic environment.

  • 'The Extraordinary Negro': Ignatius Sancho, Joseph Jekyll, and the Problem of Biography
    L 'The extraordinary Negro': Ignatius Sancho, Joseph Jekyll, and the Problem of Biography BRYCCHAN CAREY For much of the past two hundred years, The Letters of the Late Ignatius Sancho, An African, where they have been considered at all, have normally been read as a footnote to Joseph Jekyll's Life of Ignatius Sancho.I This short biography, which has prefaced every edition of the Letters to appear so far, tells the story of the 'extraordinary Negro' who, though born on a slave ship, died comfortably in London, a well-known figure in the literary and artistic circles of the late eighteenth century. It is a story that has fascinated historians and critics alike. Eighteenth-century abolitionists viewed it as proof positive of the humanity and intellectual capacity of Africans.2 In the twentieth century, Sancho's life provided a reminder that black people had been making a positive contribution to English society for centuries. 3 Yet until relatively recently, most critics and historians who wrote about Sancho followed the lead set by the eighteenth-century review magazines, merely quoting from Jekyll, and in some cases reproducing the entire biography verbatim.4 Although in the last twenty years Sancho's life story has been explored with increasing frequency and critical sophistication, the letters themselves, with one or two notable exceptions, are still discussed only infrequently. This approach is deeply problematic since, while the Letters at least represent Sancho's own idea of himself, Jekyll's biography is unverifiable at best and in places directly contradicts Sancho's own self• representation.

  • TREC Section 4: Acton Town Station/Gunnersbury Park to Boston Manor Station (Optional Extension to Ealing Broadway)
    TREC Section 4: Acton Town Station/Gunnersbury Park to Boston Manor Station (optional extension to Ealing Broadway). Distance: 8.4 km (5.4 miles). Public Transport: Section 4 starts at Acton Town Underground Station (District and Piccadilly lines), finishing at Boston Manor Underground Station (Piccadilly Line). There is an optional exit en route at Brentford Station or an optional 3.7 km (2.3 miles) extension from Boston Manor to Ealing Broadway Station (using part of the TREC Section 1 route). Surface and Terrain: The first half of the route is along level paths, including through parks: Gunnersbury and Carville Hall Park South; however the section along the Thames Path and the River Brent/Grand Union Canal Walk does involve some steps (an alternative route avoiding the steps is suggested); the route eventually reaches Boston Manor Park and Station. Refreshments: Acton Town Station; Gunnersbury Park Café; Brentford High Street (near Brentford Lock); Boston Manor Park Café (seasonal), Boston Manor Station and shops nearby. Covid-19 restrictions: Check availability of refreshments and toilets before your walk. Public Toilets: Acton Town Station (charge); Gunnersbury Park; Boston Manor Park Café (seasonal). The route starts from south-west Acton, one of the seven towns of the London Borough of Ealing, Acton means "oak farm" or "farm by oak trees". This final section of TREC does stray into the north east of the London Borough of Hounslow going through parts of old Brentford, however as this was historically part of the Parish of Ealing when it did extend to the River Thames we think it’s appropriate to include in TREC.

    Traffic noise maps of public parks in Hounslow May 2018 This document shows traffic noise maps for parks in the borough. The noise maps are taken from http://www.extrium.co.uk/noiseviewer.html. Occasionally, google earth or google map images are included to help the reader identify where the park is located. Similar documents are available for all London Boroughs. These were created as part of research into the impact of traffic noise in London’s parks. They should be read in conjunction with the main report and data analysis which are available at http://www.cprelondon.org.uk/resources/item/2390-noiseinparks. The key to the traffic noise maps is shown here to the right. Orange denotes noise of 55 decibels (dB). Louder noises are denoted by reds and blues with dark blue showing the loudest. Where the maps appear with no colour and are just grey, this means there is no traffic noise of 55dB or above. London Borough of Hounslow 1 1. Beaversfield Park 2. Bedfont Lake Country Park 3.
