En cierto sentido, siempre ha sido así: la sede del poder político en Westminster y el centro financiero de la City se Lestablecieron allí desde la Edad Media. Tuvo que hacer frente al desafío que supuso, hasta cierto punto, la aparición de grandes conurbaciones fabriles en las Midlands y el norte de Inglaterra, en Escocia y en el sur de Gales desde principios del siglo xix, pero el eclipse del poder industrial británico desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial ha reforzado la preemi- nencia de Londres. Los límites de la ciudad albergan casi 9 millones de habitantes, un récord histórico, sin incluir una enorme área metro- politana que abarca aproximadamente 14 millones de personas que trabajan en la capital, lo que supone alrededor de cinco veces el tamaño de sus rivales más cercanas en el Reino Unido (el Gran Manchester, Birmingham y Glasgow).

    APPENDIX A2a Comments on Lewisham Gateway Note: Comments in Italics refer to comments were made by visitors to the LPA Exhibition 88 Adelaide Avenue Concerned that the road system will not work and the scheme will worsen traffic. The objector also feels that the proposals to move the Quaggy and take away Charlottenburg Gardens will be detrimental to the environment. There must be other ways to improve the roundabout without damaging the area in a way that the proposed scheme will inevitably do. 6 Algernon Road He objects as the site is not suitable for the density of development proposed along with the traffic and pollution problems the development will caused. The plans are not in keeping with London policy in terms of treatment of rivers, care in proposing high rise solutions, loss of green space, alignment of development plans and transport capacity etc. A very low proportion of the housing units are to be made available as affordable housing and he questions the suitability of the site for hou sing. Also questions the business case for a mass of office space when there are large expanses of empty offices close by. The development is being driven by the developer’s business/profit model. The changes to the road system have not been proven to i mprove the situation and it is possible that the new arrangements would make the situation significantly worse. 107 Algernon Road The objector sees no proof that the proposed road system will work and fears that traffic will get worse, especially given all the other developments proposed.

The Pepys Estate was a monolithic concentration of public housing and it makes sense to break that up a bit and bring in a different mix of incomes and people with spending power.’ Pat Hayes, LB Lewisham, Director of Regeneration You have castrated communities. You have colonies of low income people, living in houses provided by the local authorities, and you have the higher income groups living in their own colonies. This segregation of the different income groups is a wholly evil thing, from a civilised point of view… We should try to introduce what was always the lovely feature of English and Welsh villages, where the doctor, the grocer, the butcher and the farm labourer all lived in the same street – the living tapestry of a mixed community.

  • Mediacide: the Press's Role in the Abdication Crisis of Edward VIII
    ___________________________________________________________ Mediacide: the Press’s Role in the Abdication Crisis of Edward VIII Joel Grissom ___________________________________________________________ On December 10, 1936, a group of men entered the ornate drawing room of Fort Belvedere, the private get-away of His Majesty, King Edward VIII. The mood of the room was informal as the King sat at his desk. Fifteen documents lay before him ready for his signature. Briefly scanning them, he quickly affixed, Edward, RI, to the documents. He then relinquished his chair to his brother, Albert, Duke of York, who did the same. The process was repeated twice more as Henry, Duke of Gloucester, and George, Duke of Kent, also signed the documents. The King stepped outside and inhaled the fresh morning air.1 To the King it smelled of freedom. After months of battling with his Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin, and the Prime Minister’s allies in the establishment and the press, Edward was laying down the crown in order to marry the woman he loved, an American divorcee named Wallis Simpson. The next day the newspaper headlines across the world would broadcast the news of the King’s unprecedented decision. With the signing of the Instrument of Abdication, Edward had signed away his throne. The newspapers in both the United States and the United Kingdom that would report the abdication had played a major role in bringing about the fall of the King. While the British media had observed a blackout during most of the crisis, the media in the United States had reported the story of the King and Mrs.

  • The Skidmore and Scudamore Families of Frampton Cotterell, Gloucestershire 1650-1915
    Skidmore (Scudamore) Families of Frampton Cotterell Linda Moffatt © 2015 THE SKIDMORE AND SCUDAMORE FAMILIES OF FRAMPTON COTTERELL, GLOUCESTERSHIRE 1650-1915 by Linda Moffatt © 2015 1st edition 2012, published at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com 2nd edition 2015, published at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com This is a work in progress. The author is pleased to be informed of errors and to receive additional information for consideration for future updates at [email protected] This file was last updated by Linda Moffatt on 26 September 2015. DATES Prior to 1752 the year began on 25 March (Lady Day). In order to avoid confusion, a date which in the modern calendar would be written 2 February 1714 is written 2 February 1713/4 - i.e. the baptism, marriage or burial occurred in the 3 months (January, February and the first 3 weeks of March) of 1713 which 'rolled over' into what in a modern calendar would be 1714. Civil registration was introduced in England and Wales in 1837 and records were archived quarterly; hence, for example, 'born in 1840Q1' the author here uses to mean that the birth took place in January, February or March of 1840. Where only a baptism date is given for an individual born after 1837, assume the birth was registered in the same quarter. BIRTHS, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS Databases of all known Skidmore and Scudamore bmds can be found at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com PROBATE A list of all known Skidmore and Scudamore wills - many with full transcription or an abstract of its contents - can be found at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com in the file Skidmore/Scudamore One-Name Study Probate.
