Victoria Embankment Foreshore Hoarding Commission
Victoria Embankment Foreshore Hoarding Commission 1 Introduction ‘The Thames Wunderkammer: Tales from Victoria Embankment in Two Parts’, 2017, by Simon Roberts, commissioned by Tideway This is a temporary commission located on the Thames Tideway Tunnel construction site hoardings at Victoria Embankment, 2017-19. Responding to the rich heritage of the Victoria Embankment, Simon Roberts has created a metaphorical ‘cabinet of curiosities’ along two 25- metre foreshore hoardings. Roberts describes his approach as an ‘aesthetic excavation of the area’, creating an artwork that reflects the literal and metaphorical layering of the landscape, in which objects from the past and present are juxtaposed to evoke new meanings. Monumental statues are placed alongside items that are more ordinary; diverse elements, both man-made and natural, co-exist in new ways. All these components symbolise the landscape’s complex history, culture, geology, and development.

Waterloo Bridge, London Pastel
Claude MONET (Paris 1840 - Giverny 1926) Waterloo Bridge, London Pastel. Signed Claude Monet in pencil at the lower right. 294 x 463 mm. (11 1/2 x 18 1/4 in.) This previously unknown study of Waterloo Bridge is a significant addition to the small corpus of pastels produced by Monet during his third and final stay in London in 1901. This group of pastels may be dated to the end of January and the first few days of February 1901. In all, twenty-six pastels from Monet’s third visit to London in 1901 are known, including sixteen views of Waterloo Bridge, and to these may now be added the present sheet. Like many of the London pastels, the artist has here used a pale oatmeal paper, which sets off the cool blues of the pastel, though other examples are on grey or bluish paper. In its looseness of handling and the delicate, almost vaporous quality of the pastel itself, this pastel may be compared stylistically with a pastel drawing of Waterloo Bridge in the Villa Flora in Winterthur in Switzerland and another in the collection of the Triton Foundation in Holland, as well as a pastel study of Waterloo Bridge in the Musée d’Orsay. The present sheet, signed in full by the artist, was almost certainly regarded by Monet as a finished work of art, to be sold to a collector or given as a gift to a friend. This is true of almost all of the London pastels, and it is interesting to note that, despite having been produced simply to occupy his time while waiting for his painting materials to arrive, these works on paper appear to have been held in high regard by the artist.

Victoria Embankment Between Waterloo and Westminster Bridges 177
20 River Prospect: Victoria Embankment 175 between Waterloo and Westminster Bridges 341 This River Prospect is a continual experience from Westminster Bridge to Waterloo Bridge. Sir Joseph Bazalgette, the Victorian engineer, embanked the Thames here in 1864-70 providing for the London Underground and upgraded sewers. A broad thoroughfare for vehicles and pedestrians was also created. Gardens were established on the landward side and avenues of trees planted. The Viewing Place provides a promenade when walking between the Palace of Westminster and Somerset House and via Waterloo Bridge to the cultural attractions of the South Bank. 176 London View Management Framework 342 There are two Viewing Locations between Waterloo Bridge and Westminster Bridge. The first of these, 20A, is located between Westminster Bridge and the Golden Jubilee/Hungerford Footbridges.

William Tierney Clark Civil Engineer
William Tierney Clark civil engineer (1783 -1852) and Hammersmith Tierney Clark, one of the most distinguished if not widely-known civil engineers in the first half of the 19 th century, spent all of his professional life in Hammersmith. He was born in Somerset, Sion House, in 1783. His father, a distiller, died when Clark was still young and so he was apprenticed age only twelve to a Bristol millwright. From there he made his way to the Colebrookdale Ironworks then the best place to learn the mechanics of cast and wrought iron fabrication for structural use. Clark must have been a talented, ambitious and diligent worker for when John Rennie, the famed builder of the Second London Bridge and Waterloo Bridge, came to visit invited him to his Blackfriars works. There, Clark continued his hand-on education and did not disappoint his mentor. In 1811 the position of Engineer became vacant at the moribund West Middlesex Waterworks in Hammersmith. Rennie recommended Clark who was duly chosen after an interview session. He moved to the works premises and lived there for the rest of his life. Clark made important contributions to the development of Hammersmith’s infrastructure. First, by turning around the Waterworks with the installation of more powerful pumps substantially increasing its capacity. In 1838 the Company acquired 110 acres at Barn Elms on the other side of the Thames for the building, according to TWC’s designs, of settling and storage reservoirs. After the reorganisation of the waterworks Clark’s duties became routine and he wished to taken on a range of civil engineering commissions.

William Arrol and Peter Lind: Demolition, Construction and Workmanship on London’S Waterloo Bridges (1934–46)

(Eds) © 2018 6ICCH, Brussels, Belgium, ISBN 978-1-138-33235-5 William Arrol and Peter Lind: Demolition, construction and workmanship on London’s Waterloo Bridges (1934–46) Christine Wall University of Westminster, London, UK ABSTRACT: In 1924 when serious settlement to the piers of John Rennie’s Waterloo Bridge rendered it unsafe for traffic William Arrol and Company erected a temporary steel bridge. The company was later tasked with demolition of the old bridge in 1934, the process revealing high levels of workmanship in its construction. The New Waterloo Bridge, 1937–45, engineered by Rendel, Palmer and Tritton, designed in collaboration with Giles Gilbert Scott and in association with London County Council engineers was built by contractor Peter Lind. The result was a modern, functional, concrete bridge but which required precise and skilled work to the steel reinforcement. This paper, using documentary and photographic evidence from a number of archives, together with personal testimonies, considers the changing labour force, from demolition of the old bridge and as the new bridge progressed. Questions of skill and labour, conditions of work, and workmanship are examined in the context of both war and peacetime Keywords: 1930–50, UK, Bridge, Labour, Workmanship 1 INTRODUCTION two contracting firms.

RCEWA – Charing Cross Bridge by Claude Monet Statement of The
RCEWA – Charing Cross Bridge by Claude Monet Statement of the Expert Adviser to the Secretary of State that the painting meets Waverley criteria one, two and three. Further Information The ‘Applicant’s statement’ and the ‘Note of Case History’ are available on the Arts Council Website: www.artscouncil.org.uk/reviewing-committee-case-hearings EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Claude Monet (1840-1926) Charing Cross Bridge, 1904 Oil on canvas 65 x 94 cm Charing Cross Bridge is one of the series of paintings of the Thames that Claude Monet made during and after his visits to London in 1899-1901. It shows the railway bridge with the sun reflected on the river and filtered through the smog which partially conceals the Houses of Parliament on the right. Waterloo Bridge, Charing Cross Bridge, and The Palace of Westminster were the motifs that drew Monet back over three successive years. At an early stage he was preparing a series to be shown together and, while he was assiduous in resolving each of the paintings, his process involved continuous comparison and adjustment. He worked on at least ninety-four canvases which have survived the subsequent process of excising and destroying others, and he eventually selecting thirty-seven to exhibit in Vues de la Tamise à Londres at the Galerie Durand-Ruel in Paris in May 1904. Of the three Thames subseries that constituted the whole, thirty-four paintings depicting Charing Cross Bridge are recorded in the catalogue raisonné. As it was his practice to begin in front of the motif, it has been assumed that the present canvas was started in London in 1901.

HISTORY of WARNER (Extracts Taken from the Original Written in the “Red Book” in 1885) by FRED MYRON COLBY
HISTORY OF WARNER (Extracts taken from the original written in the “Red Book” in 1885) BY FRED MYRON COLBY CHAPTER I The Grant and the Settlement.—The township of Warner is situated in the western portion of Merrimack County and is bounded as follows: North, by Sutton, Wilmot, Andover and Salisbury; east, by Salisbury and Webster; south, by Hopkinton and Henniker; west, by Bradford and Sutton. The area of the town comprises thirty-one thousand eight hundred and fifty-one acres; the number of acres of improved land is about twenty-one thousand. The centre of the town is eighteen miles from the State House at Concord in a northwesterly direction. The territory now embraced in the present limits of the town of Warner was granted in 1735, by the General Court of Massachusetts, to Thomas Stevens and sixty other inhabitants of Amesbury and Salisbury of that province, under the name of “Number One.” The terms of this grant were that each grantee should, within three years, clear and fence in five acres of land and build a house thereon, erect a church and “settle a learned orthodox minister;” otherwise it would revert to the province of Massachusetts. In April 1737, the several grantees met. The township was rechristened “New Amesbury,” in honor of the home of the larger number of the proprietors, and by June of the following year the allotments had been made and sixty-three house-lots, containing about five acres each, had been laid out. These lots were near the extreme southeast part of the town, at what is now called Davisville, where are located several excellent mill privileges.
