The building is surrounded by Margery Street to the north Amwell Street to the east Wilmington Street to the west and Merlin Street to the South. The internal court yard within offers bike cycle storage communal gardens and areas of seating, entrance to the court yard is from Margery Street and Merlin Street. It is a Grade II listed building and therefore the flat falls under the curtilage. Significance The building is within the New River Conservation area. Charles Rowan House was built as part of the development of Amwell Street in 1928 to 1930, built in the 1920s as married quarters for Metropolitan policemen to the designs of Gilbert McKenzie Trench, the Met’s architect. Sir Charles Rowan was one of the first Commissioners of the force when it was formed in the 1820s. Stylistically the building is unusual for the United Kingdom and exhibits a powerful Expressionist manner most often associated with continental design of this period. The eye-catching red brick building, between Amwell Street and Wilmington Square, became a Council estate in 1974, and is listed for its architectural interest by English Heritage (Grade II), which describes it as “massive and austere”; listing description below. When Islington Council took over Charles Rowan House it became run-down and “hard to let” block with its own housing list. In 2000 the courtyard was re-landscaped (largely with s.106 “planning gain” funds secured by CRH residents) and “Decent Homes” work done by the Council. Listing and Description Valued historic features; Charles Rowan House Margery Street; Charles Rowan House and Attached Iron Railings was Grade II listed in September 1994. The listing text is as follows; TQ3182NW 635-1/68/1031 GVII Includes: Charles Rowan House WILMINGTON STREET Finsbury. Includes: Charles Rowan House AMWELL STREET Finsbury. Includes: Charles Rowan House MERLIN STREET Finsbury. Former flats for married policemen, now council flats, on a steeply sloping site bounded by roads on all four sides. 1928-1930. G Mackenzie Trench architect and surveyor for the Metropolitan Police Authority. Red brick laid in Flemish and English bonds with moulded brick dressings to street elevations, and multi-coloured stock bricks to courtyard elevations; roofs obscured; projecting, picturesque red-brick stacks demarcate breaks in the roofline where the blocks step up the hill. Expressionist style. Four massive facades parallel to four roads: great arches lead into the central courtyard from Merlin and Margery Streets. Five storeys with David Gibson Architects 35 Britannia Row London N1 8QH (fax 020 7704 6946) 020 7226 2207 1315 / 130514 | | | basement; 6 bays (each of 3-window range to Amwell Street) and (2:3:4:4:3:2 to Wilmington Street); 8 bays (2:3:3:2:2:3:3:2 to Margery and Merlin Streets). Powerful, rhythmic street elevations with bays articulated by full-height moulded brick stacks treated as pilasters that create strong skyline. Decorative extradoses and dressings to great arched entrances. Metal casement sashes separated by narrow full-height moulded brick pilasters that become a decorative feature to brick parapets; decorative brickwork above top floor sashes. Stacks and intervening parapets read as battlements. Attached iron railings to exterior elevations. INTERIOR: : 96 two and three- bedroomed flats were originally provided on five floors, with a covered playground in the basement. Minor alterations have occurred. History: Nos. 22-24 Wilmington Square, formerly on this site, was demolished in order to build the austerely impressive Charles Ronan House Police Flats block. As early as 1904 the Metropolitan Police Authority planned housing for 500 married policemen. Records indicate that this early goal was not reached; a concerted effort at building police accommodation did not occur until the 1950s. Plans for those in Wilmington Square survive in the Public Records Office but they appear to be the only ones. At least three other police flats by Trench are extant: Crawford Street, Marylebone, 1925;Kintyre House, New Park Road, Lambeth, and Cornwall Street, Waterloo, but Charles Ronan House is the least altered and most architecturally assured of the group. Stylistically it is also unusual for this country and exhibits a powerful, Expressionist manner most often associated with continental design of this period.

Listing NGR: TQ3118982659 Condition Charles Rowan House is an early 20th century five-storey building with basement in red brick. The structure of the building is brick and concrete. The building is of architectural distinction and is in a good state of repair. All the windows have single glazing and are metal framed. Internally the some windows have had secondary glazing fitted to guard against heat loss. The concrete wall structure to the flat is in good repair. There are original features on show which include skirting, fireplace, down stand beams, doors and windows. The interior spaces do have a quality that is noteworthy and generous. The highest point of the room measures at 2.4m floor to ceiling and the interiors gain natural light from the windows. The quality of day lighting is noticeable. The special quality of this space calls for an architectural intervention that will not compromise its spatiality but preserve it as much as possible. The condition of the flat was run-down and totally out of character with the surrounding well-kept flats. The revamping is seen beneficial for the flat itself, the building and local area. David Gibson Architects 35 Britannia Row London N1 8QH (fax 020 7704 6946) 020 7226 2207 1315 / 130514 | | | Objectives and Strategy The new owners of No18 CRH intend to live in the flat and will use it as their home. A suitable owner whose requirements are in tune with the building and who is in possession of sufficient funds to attend to essential maintenance and refurbishment is regarded as the best assurance for a sustainable future for the flat. The work proposed consists of the renewal of the existing flat, it must be clearly understood that this proposal requires limited intervention to provide the basic necessities of modern living. Interventions are required to equip the flat with safe efficient services to current standards. These proposals demonstrate that this is to be achieved unobtrusively and with minimal damage to elements of the existing fabric. The flat has been provided with new kitchen and sanitary facilities suitable for modern use. To maintain the historical continuity of the building, these facilities were upgraded in the planned locations that were originally designated for these uses. Refurbishment of No 18 CRH will follow the main objectives. Interventions will generally be governed by the principles of minimum interference, reversibility, transparency and discernibility. A) Maintenance To restore the maintenance deficit where there has been neglect. ● internal walls have been repaired, plastered and decorated. ● paintwork has been done to timberwork; doors, architrave and skirting boards. ● recently fitted kitchen units and bathroom furniture. B) Installation of modern services and features To install services capable of delivering amenities in line with modern standards ● hot and cold water delivery to washing machine. ● recently lowered hallway ceiling and recessed light fittings. ● recently laid timber flooring. C) Installation of restored utility rooms To provide modern facilities suitable for kitchen, bathroom. ● kitchen lowered ceiling, new raised section proposed ● bathroom lowered ceiling, new raised section, secondary glazing and ventilation proposed. The individual elements of proposed alterations and interventions are annotated in detail on the submitted drawings. David Gibson Architects 35 Britannia Row London N1 8QH (fax 020 7704 6946) 020 7226 2207 1315 / 130514 | | | Design and Layout Proposals The proposal is to refurbish the existing neglected flat into a family unit. In order to achieve this we will need to keep as much as possible the special qualities of the spaces, the intent is to provide accommodation by introducing specific bathroom, washing and kitchen facilities and amendments; 1) The newly formed lowered ceilings to bathroom and kitchen rooms will be undone at the window areas, forming a section/well exposing the existing ceiling. The rooms will be refurbished to preserve the quality of its present condition. 2) The recently formed lower ceiling to the hallway is to be maintained. 3) It is proposed to affix a new secondary glazing system within the bathroom, which will allow for warmer facilities and reduce condensation, ventilation is prosed in the form of extraction fan and ducting. 4) The hall cupboard holds storage for a new washing machine which requires holes to be drilled within the walls to gain pipe access. Alterations; Retained features such as the floor to ceiling height, metal windows and timber and wall finishes, will continue the narrative of the original building enterprise. New timber flooring has now been placed, at the same height as original so to benefit the reinstating of the original skirting boards and existing ceiling height. Another works completed include; new kitchen and bathroom furniture, facilities and decoration, internal walls of the flat recently plastered throughout.

    Young People's Gatherings Ref 066 in the Urban Public Realm enhancement of or distraction from its liveability Reem Zako University College London, London, United Kingdom [email protected] Keywords spatial configuration; social structures; urban space; public realm; young people Abstract This paper focuses on where young people gather in the urban public realm, and the effect that this may have on the perceived liveability of an area. Gatherings of young people have become very topical in the UK in recent years, especially because of the way that the public perceives this activity as intimidating and potentially aggressive. This has resulted in much concern by the public and interest by the press about the consequential antisocial nature of these gatherings, leading to government debate and legislation to control the antisocial behaviour of young children and adolescents in public space. The study is based on a questionnaire/survey distributed to residents in twenty housing estates and residential developments in London's city fringe district of Clerkenwell. The aim of the study was to capture the residents' perceptions about the liveability of their locality through an assessment of twenty-four different types of criteria relating to the built environment, including the condition of the urban fabric, the effects of traffic, and the prevalence of anti-social activities and behaviour. The dominant factor affecting the perceived liveability of an area was found to be the extent to which the public realm was blighted by the threatening nature

  • Ireland and the Waterloo Campaign of 1815 Peter Molloy
    Journal of Military History and Defence Studies Volume 1. Issue 1. (January 2020) Ireland and the Waterloo campaign of 1815 Peter Molloy Abstract Ireland’s experience of the Waterloo campaign has been consistently under- explored, despite the degree of attention paid to the campaign by historians. This paper shows that that experience was far more significant and multi-faceted than has generally been recognised. Irish people played an important practical role in the events of 1815. Irish soldiers saw service in their thousands during the campaign, at every rank from private to general. These men represented a comprehensive cross-section of contemporary Ireland, coming from every county on the island and from every kind of socio-economic background. Some Irish soldiers and military units earned distinction for their actions on the battlefield and a number of participants from the country left valuable primary testimony. Civilian Irish women and children were also caught up in events in Belgium. Domestically, Ireland was a centre of activity as hostilities against Napoleon developed and analysis of contemporary media coverage and private correspondence makes it clear that ongoing events on the Continent had a keenly engaged Irish audience. Waterloo also left a distinctive legacy for Ireland and for Irish people. This paper explores all of these issues in detail, providing a thorough examination based on primary sources to address the impact of Waterloo on Ireland, and of the Irish on Waterloo. This paper is a reproduction of an MA thesis submitted for the MA in Military History and Strategic Studies at Maynooth University in 2011 and published online via the Maynooth University Research Archive Library MURAL in 2012.

Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/64986 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au Confidence in the police: balancing public image with community safety – a comparative review of the literature Examining the evolution of British and Australian policing, this comparative review of the literature considers the impact of community legitimacy derived from early concepts of policing by consent against contemporary policing challenges. Using the August 2011 disorder in Britain as a lens, this paper considers whether, in striving to maintain community confidence, undue emphasis is placed on the police’s public image at the expense of community safety. Examining the path of policing reform, the impact of bureaucracy on policing and the evolving debate surrounding police performance, this review suggests that, while largely delivering on the ideal of an ethical and strong police force, a preoccupation with self-image may in fact result in tarnishing the very thing British and Australian police forces strive to achieve – their standing with the public. This paper advocates for a more realistic goal of gaining public respect rather than affection in order to achieve the difficult balance between maintaining trust and respect as an approachable, ethical entity providing firm, confident policing in this ever-evolving, modern society.

  • The Contribution of the Irish Soldier to the British Army During the Peninsula Campaign 1808 – 1814
    The Journal of Military History and Defence Studies Volume 1 Issue 1 (January 2020) The contribution of the Irish soldier to the British Army during the Peninsula campaign 1808 – 1814 James Deery The majority of the historiography concerning the Irish contribution to the British army during their campaign on the Iberian Peninsula (1808 -1814) has focused on the Irish regiments and their service with Wellington in Portugal, Spain and France. While the significance of research into these regiments is undeniable it has unintentionally resulted in an under appreciation of the true extent of the Irish soldier’s contribution. The purpose of this paper is to add to the existing historiography by examining the wider Irish contribution in order to arrive at an empirical based assessment as to the criticality of the Irish soldier to Wellington’s victory during the Peninsula war. The majority of Irish soldiers who served in the Peninsula did so in English and Scottish infantry regiments. Their abilities and crucially their integration into the British army were key success factors for Wellington during the Peninsula campaign. An examination of how this was achieved forms a key part of this paper which finds that the capabilities of the Irish soldier and the British army organisational structure and system mutually supported each other. Furthermore, the Irish officer’s contribution has only been assessed based on individual accounts and narratives in the absence of any in-depth evaluation of their actual numbers. With over 30 per cent of Wellington’s officers being Irish an analysis of their levels of command was undertaken to demonstrate their significance to the overall conduct and operation of the Peninsula army.

  • “Peel's” Principles of Policing
    Notes on “Peel’s” Principles of Policing Professor Peter Moskos Robert Peel, the creator of the first modern police force in 1829 London, and the first commissioners, Charles Rowan and Richard Mayne, wrote the original Patrol Guide: “Instructions to Police Officers.”1 It emphasized the prevention of crime, regular foot patrol, police discretion, and a professional demeanor. The following general instructions [do not apply] to every circumstance... something must necessarily be left to the intelligence and discretion of individuals. The principal object to be attained is “the prevention of crime.” To this great end every effort of the police is to be directed rather than by the detection and punishment of the offender after he has succeeded in committing the crime. When in any area offenses are frequently committed, there must be reason to suspect that the police are not in the area properly conducted. The absence of crime is the best proof of the efficiency of the police. He should be able to see every part of his beat, at least once in ten minutes or a quarter of an hour. It is indispensably necessary, that he should make himself perfectly acquainted with all the parts of his beat or section, with the streets, thoroughfares, courts, and houses. He will be expected to possess such a knowledge of the inhabitants of each house, as will enable him to recognize their persons. ... He will keep in mind that prevention of crime will be best attained by making it evident, that they are known and strictly watched, and that certain detection will follow any attempt to commit a crime.
