  • Home Guard: the Forces to Meet the Expected French Invasions / 1
    The Napoleon Series Home Guard: 1805 HOME GUARD: THE FORCES TO MEET THE EXPECTED FRENCH INVASION / 1 SEPTEMBER 1805 The Peace of Amiens lasted 14 months, until Britain declared war on France on 18 May 1803. Napoleon turned his attention to invading England, saying: "All my thoughts are directed towards England. I want only for a favourable wind to plant the Imperial Eagle on the Tower of London." He started to assemble an expeditionary force at Boulogne. The invasion scare started in the middle of 1803. In the next six months, the British government's call for volunteers to resist an invasion was met with a massive response; within a few weeks 280,000 men had volunteered, and the government was unprepared for this numbers of volunteers. The Invasion Scare lasted for roughly two years. Britain’s ‘Home Guard’ of an earlier era watched the coast of France nervously as the Emperor Napoleon assembled a vast armed camp centred on Boulogne, and named them the ‘Army of England’. On 26 August 1805, in response to dramatically changing political events in the east, the Emperor Napoleon ordered Marechal Berthier to send the newly-christened Grande Armèe on a line of march eastwards, ultimately towards Ulm, Vienna and the foggy hills of Austerlitz. Some 180,000 French troops left Boulogne. The Invasion Scare was over. The British Army to repel such an invasion, had it come, was as follows. Many of the General Officers were tasked with commanding the numerous Militia and Volunteer units, and seemingly often held multiple commands. This article, drawn from wide variety of articles and not all of a common date, presents as close a picture as can be discovered of the organisation and location of the regulars, militia and volunteers in the week Napoleon turned east.

W.C. 1862. PREFACE. TIIE Proprietors, in submitting to their Subscribers and the Public the present (being the Fifth) Edition of the Six HOME COUNTIES DIRECTORY, trust that it may • be found to be equal in accuracy to the previous Editions. Several additions have been made to the present volume : lists of Hundreds and Poor Law Unions have been included in the Topography of each County; it is stated under each Parish in what Hundred, Union and County Court District it is situate, as well as the Diocese, Archdeaconry and Rural Deanery; and the College and University of every Beneficed Clergyman have been given. The Post Office Savings Banks have been noticed; the names of the Parish Clerks are given under each Parish ; and lists of Farm Bailiffs of gentlemen farming their own land have been added. / The bulk of the Directory has again increased considerably: the Third Edition consisted of 1,420 pages; the Fourth had increased to 1,752 pages; and the present contains 1,986 pages. The value of the Directory, however, will depend principally on the fact that it has been most carefully corrected, every parish having been personally visited by the Agents during the last six months. The Proprietors have again to return their thanks to the Clergymen, Clerks of the Peace, Magistrates' Clerks, Registrars, and other Gentlemen who have assisted the Agents while collecting the information.

  • Queen Elizabeth's Visit to Tilbury in 1588
    1919 43 Queen Elizabeth's Visit to Tilbury in 1588 Downloaded from N June and July 1588, just before the Spanish Armada sailed up I the English Channel, an army was assembled at West Tilbury, on the north bank of the Thames. The object was to ensure the defence of London, by blocking access thereto, both by road and by river, in the event of the Armada attempting to land a force, http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ as was expected, in the estuary of the Thames. It is well known that the queen visited Tilbury to review the troops assembled there, and that she addressed to them (' like another Boadicea ', as Morant, the Essex historian says) a famous exhortation to valour. But no one has hitherto traced in any detail the events connected with the visit—probably because local knowledge is necessary in order to follow the somewhat slight at University of Arizona on May 27, 2015 contemporary accounts of what took place. Indeed, the prepara- tions made on land for the defence of the country have been extremely little studied, though the preparations made for its defence by sea have been treated exhaustively. The Armada, we must remember, after one false start and other delays, due chiefly to bad weather, set sail finally from Corufia on 12 July, under the duke of Medina-Sidonia. On the 20th, it was sighted near the western entrance to the Channel by the English fleet, which had put out from Plymouth, under Lord Howard of Effingham. As the Armada sailed up the Channel, it was engaged by the English fleet in a running fight, during which several of the largest Spanish ships were either captured or destroyed.

  • Transfer of Eastern National Grays Area Services to London Transport
    TRANSFER OF EASTERN NATIONAL GRAYS AREA SERVICES TO LONDON TRANSPORT 1933-1951 By Alan Osborne THE EASTERN NATIONAL ENTHUSIASTS GROUP TRANSFER OF EASTERN NATIONAL GRAYS AREA SERVICES TO LONOON TRANSPORT 1933 • 1951 By Alan Osborne The Eastern National Enthusiasts Group 1980 INTRODUCTION This book replaces our fo:rmer Publication E.P.14 and is in essence a complete history of bus services in the Grays area from the early days until 1952. Some notes on the 1979 exchange have also been included to finish the story. This is the first major production by the Eastern National Enthusiasts Group following the re-organisation and expansion of the committee institu.ted in 1979. The present author then assumed his new role as Cba.irma.n & Founder, with a lesser administrative workload, which allowed more time to be devoted to historical research for publications such as the present study. Area route maps have been included, but since the central areas of Grays and Tilbury appear ver:y small, enlarged street plans (as at 1951/2) of the two towns, with the streets, timing points and terminals referred to in the tex.t all located, are appended. on page 39. Many friends and colleagues have offered assistance and I am especially grateful to Frank Simpson, Nick Agnew, John Smith, Bob Palmer and Martin Weyell for helpful discussions and loan of material. Much information was also gleaned from material in the Omnibus Society library through the kind auspices of Brian Walter. Special tribute must also be made to Bob Beaumont of F.astern National for providing.

Achievements so far PART ONE: Making Connections PART TWO: Delivering Change PART THREE: Celebrating Thurrock THE DELIVERY PLAN Executive Summary Thurrock's Vision is set out in the Community Strategy. "A place of opportunity, enterprise and excellence, where individuals, communities and businesses flourish" This is supported by five objectives. 1 Create a great place for learning and opportunity 2 Encourage and promote job creation and economic prosperity 3 Build pride, responsibility and respect to create safer communities 4 Improve health and well-being 5 Protect and promote our clean and green environment The environment is a key priority and Riverscapes is one of the plans that support the delivery of this. Over the last decade Thurrock has seen the delivery of world class environment sites spanning the borough from the RSPB Rainham Marshes to EWT Thurrock Thameside Nature Park. These have transformed the visual and natural environment of their local area, provided social, leisure and recreation opportunities for local people, contributed to the economy, and have helped improve the image of Thurrock. However individual sites are not enough to make the environment function for the long term, help us adapt to climate change, enable species to thrive or maximise the environments economic value.

  • Correlation of English and German Middle Pleistocene Fluvial Sequences Based on Mammalian Biostratigraphy
    Netherlands Journal of Geosciences / Geologie en Mijnbouw 81 (3-4): 357-373 (2002) Correlation of English and German Middle Pleistocene fluvial sequences based on mammalian biostratigraphy D.C. Schreve1* & D.R. Bridgland2 1 Department of Geography, Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham, Surrey, TW20 OEX, UK; e-mail: [email protected]. Corresponding author. 2 Department of Geography, University of Durham, South Road, Durham, DH1 3LE, UK; e-mail: [email protected] Manuscript received: March 2001; accepted: February 2002 Abstract In this paper interglacial mammalian assemblages from key Middle Pleistocene fluvial sites in Germany are compared to Mammal Assemblage-Zones (MAZs) recently established in the post-Anglian/Elsterian sequence of the Lower Thames, UK. It is believed that four separate interglacials are represented by the Lower Thames MAZs, correlated with oxygen isotope stages (OIS) 11, 9, 7 and substage 5e (although the last of these is Late Pleistocene). Nowhere in Germany can a full se­ quence of these interglacials be identified from mammalian evidence in a single terrace staircase, as is the case in the Lower Thames, although further research on the Wipper terraces at Bilzingsleben may identify such a sequence. It is also possible that the sequence of overlapping fluvial channels in the lignite mine at Schoningen will eventually produce a comparable mammalian story. Excellent correspondence has been recognized between the mammalian assemblages at Steinheim an der Murr and Bilzingsleben II and the Swanscombe MAZ from the Thames. These three sites are attributed to the Hoxnian/Hol- steinian interglacial and are thought to correlate with OIS 11.
