    History Study 2020

    History Study 2020 January 2020: BLUE PLAQUES This month, once again, we had a diverse offering of short talks under the umbrella of Blue Plaques. We had the brief history of some well-known people – Shackleton, Louis Napoleon (nephew of Bonaparte) and Arthur Mee the author of the children’s encyclopaedias. Known to some, but not to others, was Cosy Powell a drummer who had worked with bands such as Black Sabbath. Scary that one of our contemporaries already has a Blue Plaque! Another talk was of Richard Oastler, the Factory King who was moved by pity at the long hours worked by young children in factories and was a tireless champion of the Ten Hours Factory Bill in the mid 1800s. Baron (name not title) Webster contributed to the successful setting up of the trans-Atlantic cable enabling Queen Victoria and President Buchanan to communicate directly for the first time. The most local plaque was for General Ireton from Attenborough. He was an English general in the Parliamentary army during the English Civil War and the son-in-law of Oliver Cromwell. One plaque, also local, had been put up by the National Chemical Landmark scheme at BioCity to mark the achievements of chemists researching and creating the anti-inflammatory drug Ibuprofen which Boots, for whom they worked, patented in 1962. Eclipsing all of these talks was a presentation about the ISOKON building in Hampstead. There are three plaques posted there, but wider interest is in the community of people living in and visiting the 32 minimalistic flats in the 1930s – a community of Avant-garde artists.
