The Following Is a List of Museums MUSEUMS WITH INTEREST IN TOBACCO Compiled by Ben Rapaport (Fall 2006) The following is a list of museums (and other places) around the globe having a few...to many tobacco-related relics, artifacts, and antiques, based on research to date. I do not guarantee that (1) the museum is still open to the public or (2) items once cited as "tobacco" are still current holdings. Where specific information has been provided to me by the museum's curator or by visitors, I have noted the holdings. For German museums, I have extracted Billerbeck, Mit Rauchern lässt sich reden, published in 1993, a book that surveys German museums emphasizing tobacco-related artifacts. In many cases, the address is not complete, so if you have corrections (or additions), I would certainly appreciate your input. Keep this list and I hope it proves useful in your global travels.

  • Eadweard Muybridge 1 Eadweard Muybridge
    Eadweard Muybridge 1 Eadweard Muybridge Eadweard Muybridge Born Edward James Muggeridge9 April 1830Kingston upon Thames, England Died 8 May 1904 (aged 74)Kingston upon Thames, England Resting place Woking, Surrey, England Nationality [1] British Ethnicity English Occupation Photographer Eadweard J. Muybridge ( /ˌɛdwərdˈmaɪbrɪdʒ/; 9 April 1830 – 8 May 1904) was an English photographer who spent much of his life in the United States. He is known for his pioneering work on animal locomotion which used multiple cameras to capture motion, and his zoopraxiscope, a device for projecting motion pictures that pre-dated the flexible perforated film strip.[2] Names Born Edward James Muggeridge, he changed his name several times early in his US career. First he changed his forenames to the Spanish equivalent Eduardo Santiago, perhaps because of the Spanish influence on Californian place names. His surname appears at times as Muggridge and Muygridge (possibly due to misspellings), and Muybridge from the 1860s. In the 1870s he changed his first name again to Eadweard, to match the spelling of King Edward shown on the plinth of the Kingston coronation stone, which was re-erected in Kingston in 1850. His name remained Eadweard Muybridge for the rest of his career.[3] However, his gravestone bears a further variant, Eadweard Maybridge. He used the pseudonym Helios (Greek god of the sun) on many of his photographs, and also as the name of his studio and his son's middle name.[4] Eadweard Muybridge 2 Early life and career He was born at Kingston-on-Thames, England on April 9, 1830. He emigrated to the US, arriving in San Francisco in 1855, where he started a career as a publisher's agent and bookseller.

  • History Policy
    History Policy NB: Throughout this document Latchmere Academy Trust may be abbreviated to “LAT” Reasons for studying History “If you would understand anything, observe its beginning and its development.” Aristotle “Whoever wishes to foresee the future must consult the past; for human events ever resemble those of preceding times. This arises from the fact that they are produced by men and women who ever have been, and ever shall be, animated by the same passions, and thus they necessarily have the same results.” Machiavelli In teaching history, we encourage pupils to understand more about themselves as individuals and as members of society. They learn to find evidence, weigh it up and reach their own conclusions. Our children enjoy a hands-on approach to history, using a range of artefacts and other information sources to investigate the past. Our focus for enquiry spans from investigating our own lives and past in the Foundation Stage to World War II in Year Six. In all our historical studies, we aim to bring to life characters from the past in order to motivate pupils and stimulate their imagination. Aims Our principal aim in the study of history is to stimulate pupils’ curiosity and interest in both the past and the present and to explore the relationship between them. We aim to help pupils to: . Build up an understanding of themselves and their place in society . Develop an interest in the past and an appreciation of human achievements and aspirations . Develop knowledge of chronology so they can organise their understanding of the past . Understand the values of their society and others .

    1 INTRODUCTION Site Location There is currently a proposal for a housing development on land off Simpson's Lane, Legge's Hill, Broseley (Fig. 1). The site in question is a 0.2ha area of open ground to the rear of Broseley Wood House; the eastern half of site is at present covered by graded spoil, and the western half is occupied by a level yard surface and concrete slab, creating a terrace on the steep hillside on the west side of King Street. History of the Site There is a long and well-documented tradition of clay tobacco pipemaking in Broseley. Legge's Hill probably derives its name from the Legg family, who were producing clay tobacco pipes in Broseley in the mid to late 17th century (Oswald, 1975, 32, 33, and 191) and it is likely that their pipeworks lay in close proximity to this site. The site is, however, also known to be the site of the William Southorn & Co. Tobacco Pipeworks (the Legge's Hill pipeworks), established by William Southorn probably in 1823 (Higgins et al, 1988), and in use as a pipeworks until the 1930s. This pipeworks is thought to have been the first purpose-built clay tobacco pipe factory, making this a site of potential national importance (Ironbridge Institute Research Paper No. 53). Following the transferring of the Southorn's pipemaking business to their King Street site in the 1930s, the site appears to have been used by a gate manufacturing business, still run by a member of the Southorn family (Higgins et al, 1988).

  • Kingston Upon Thames Revisited July 2018
    © Robert J S Briggs 2018 – http://surreymedieval.wordpress.com – email [email protected] KINGSTON UPON THAMES REVISITED: FURTHER THOUGHTS ON ITS ORIGINS AND EARLY MEDIEVAL DEVELOPMENT Rob Briggs The June 2017 Medieval Studies Forum visit to Kingston upon Thames allowed those present to focus on one of the most important places in medieval Surrey. If anything, its importance was greater in the period before the Norman Conquest than after, given its sta- tus as the coronation site for at least two tenth-century kings and the named promulgation place of half a dozen known charters. The visit was also timely as 2017 saw the publica- tion of perhaps the most in-depth examination of the origin of the place-name, and by ex- tension of the early medieval settlement that first bore it. Jill Bourne’s book, The Place- name Kingston and Royal Power in Middle Anglo-Saxon England, brings to a conclusion a lengthy period of research that has previously generated a journal article (Bourne 1987-88) and a book chapter (Bourne 2012), in addition to the 2011 Nottingham PhD the- sis of which the new monograph is an updated version. In between these publications, other name-studies scholars proffered useful new contributions to the debate (Hough 1997; Probert 2008). That Bourne has been able to develop a thesis subsection into a whole book chapter dedi- cated to contemplating why Kingston upon Thames is such an anomaly among English place-names of the “Kingston”-type says something about the volume and complexity of the available evidence. Nevertheless, there are aspects of her argument that do not con- vince, and the purpose of this essay is to evaluate these and, by adding some new per- spectives into the debate, advance a new reading of the knotty body of evidence for Anglo- Saxon Kingston.
