Historic Context Historic context Historical context Development of the site over time The proposals provide an opportunity to enhance the character and appearance of the area, and to preserve important views along Borough High Street. This area has experienced significant change over time, with particularly dramatic periods of development following the Great Fire of Southwark in 1676, the foundation of Guy’s Hospital in 1721, and the arrival of the railway at London Bridge in 1836. Today, the area’s rich history is poorly represented on this site by a collection of later buildings, most of which have no heritage value. In bringing forward these proposals, we are seeking to: • Reinforce the historic urban grain, creating a series of intimate and attractive spaces enclosed by architecture of the highest quality • Offer a considered and contextual response to the area’s established built form and palette of materials • Preserve the setting of the Grade I listed George Inn • Enhance public views through Borough High Street Conservation Area; including glimpsed views through the site The scheme has been informed by a detailed historical appraisal to ensure the proposals relate successfully to the historic environment and preserve the setting of heritage assets in the surrounding area.

  • The Canterbury Tales
    0 The Canterbury Tales by GEOFFREY CHAUCER A READER-FRIENDLY EDITION Put into modern spelling by MICHAEL MURPHY GENERAL PROLOGUE 1 GENERAL PROLOGUE The opening is a long, elaborate sentence about the effects of Spring on the vegetable and animal world, and on people. The style of the rest of the Prologue and Tales is much simpler than this opening. A close paraphrase of the opening sentence is offered at the bottom of this page.1 When that April with his showers soote its showers sweet The drought of March hath pierc•d to the root And bath•d every vein in such liquor rootlet / liquid Of which virtúe engendered is the flower;2 5 When Zephyrus eke with his sweet• breath West Wind also Inspir•d hath in every holt and heath grove & field The tender cropp•s, and the young• sun young shoots / Spring sun Hath in the Ram his half• course y-run,3 in Aries / has run And small• fowl•s maken melody little birds 10 That sleepen all the night with open eye Who sleep (So pricketh them Natúre in their couráges), spurs / spirits Then longen folk to go on pilgrimáges, people long And palmers for to seeken strang• strands pilgrims / shores To fern• hallows couth in sundry lands,4 distant shrines known 15 And specially from every shir•'s end county's Of Eng•land to Canterbury they wend go The holy blissful martyr for to seek, St. Thomas Becket That them hath holpen when that they were sick. Who has helped them 1 When April with its sweet showers has pierced the drought of March to the root and bathed every rootlet in the liquid by which the flower is engendered; when the west wind also, with its sweet breath, has brought forth young shoots in every grove and field; when the early sun of spring has run half his course in the sign of Aries, and when small birds make melody, birds that sleep all night with eyes open, (as Nature inspires them to) --THEN people have a strong desire to go on pilgrimages, and pilgrims long to go to foreign shores to distant shrines known in various countries.
