  • The Industrial Revolution: 18-19Th C
    The Industrial Revolution: 18-19th c. Displaced from their farms by technological developments, the industrial laborers - many of them women and children – suffered miserable living and working conditions. Romanticism: late 18th c. - mid. 19th c. During the Industrial Revolution an intellectual and artistic hostility towards the new industrialization developed. This was known as the Romantic movement. The movement stressed the importance of nature in art and language, in contrast to machines and factories. • Interest in folk culture, national and ethnic cultural origins, and the medieval era; and a predilection for the exotic, the remote and the mysterious.

  • A Geotrail in Richmond Park
    A Geotrail in Richmond Park 1 Richmond Park Geotrail In an urban environment it is often difficult to ‘see’ the geology beneath our feet. This is also true within our open spaces. In Richmond Park there is not much in the way of actual rocks to be seen but it is an interesting area geologically as several different rock types occur there. It is for this reason that the southwest corner has been put forward as a Locally Important Geological Site. We will take clues from the landscape to see what lies beneath. Richmond Park affords fine views to both west and east which will throw a wider perspective on the geology of London. Richmond Park is underlain by London Clay, about 51 million years old. This includes the sandier layers at the top, known as the Claygate beds. The high ground near Kingston Gate includes the Claygate beds but faulting along a line linking Pen Ponds to Ham Gate has allowed erosion on the high ground around Pembroke Lodge. Both high points are capped by the much younger Black Park Gravel, which is only about 400,000 years old, the earliest of the Thames series of terraces formed after the great Anglian glaciation. Younger Thames terrace gravels are also to be found in Richmond Park. Useful maps and guide books The Royal Parks have a printable pdf map of Richmond Park on their website: www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/richmond-park/map-of-richmond-park.

  • Twickenham Plantation
    Twickenham Plantation A Historical Timeline 1663 King Charles II signed the Charter creating the colony of Carolina in 1663. The colony then included what is now present day North Carolina and South Carolina. Initially, the colony was administered by eight Lord Proprietors who were granted very liberal authority until 1729 when the proprietors surrendered to the Crown their rights and interests in the colony. At that time, the colony was divided into the colony of North Carolina and the colony of South Carolina, each having its own governor under the Crown of England. 1685 It is believed rice was first brought to Charleston harbor about 1685 on a ship from the island of Madagascar off the east coast of Africa. At this time, a limited rice culture existed on Madagascar and on the coastal areas of West Africa. According to legend, the ship encountered a raging storm in the Atlantic and sought the safety of Charleston harbor. During its dockage in Charleston, the ship’s captain gave rice to Dr. Henry Woodward, one of the first European settlers in the area. Following some experimentation with its growing, Dr. Woodward and others found the tidal rivers near Charleston were well suited for the growing of rice. Not only did early colonist survive, they soon profited greatly from this newly found cash crop. Many planters in and around Charleston later sought additional lands including tidal river lands along the Ashapoo, Combahee and Edisto rivers which now comprise the ACE Basin. The ACE Bain is the second largest estuary on the east coast, as the Chesapeake area is the largest.

She was one of three steam ships built to the same design. Her sister ships were named Hampton Ferry and Shepperton Ferry. If any of our readers know why these three ships were named after our local areas, I would love to know, so do feel free to drop a line to the letters page. Jointly owned by the Southern Railway & Angleterre-Lorraine-Alsace, she was built on the Tyne shipyards for ferry service on the Dover – Dunquerque route, but initially operated out of Southampton as the new facilities at Dover were not ready.

  • The Hydrography & Cartography of a Great
    THE HYDROGRAPHY & CARTOGRAPHY OF A GREAT SEAPORT by C o m m a n d e r E. C. SHANKLAHD, R. H. R., F. R . S. E., R i v e r S uperintendent a n d H ydrographic S u r v e y o r , P o r t o f L o n d o n A u t h o r i t y . The Port of London Authority exercises jurisdiction over that part of the Thames which flows from Teddington Lock (approximately) to a line joining Havengore Creek in Essex and Warden Point in Sheppey, Kent. To depict the changes in the hydrography of the channels, creeks, whar­ ves, bridges and dock entrances the survey of the river requires continuous attention. CARTOGRAPHY. Within the dock system a regular watch is kept to maintain depth, as a considerable amount of silt in suspension finds its way inside the tidal gates. The triangulation and surveyor’s working sheets are connected with those of the Ordnance Survey and are divided up into convenient lengths of river, more or less identified with the Reaches so well known to mariners. The survey sheets and the scales on which they are projected are enumerated in the following table. LIST OF SURVEYS — RIVER THAMES TIDEWAY Chxvt Section of River.
