ENCOURAGING DEVELOPMENT CONSERVING AND ENHANCING PROMOTING THE IMPROVEMENT THAT IS A SOURCE OF PRIDE THE HERITAGE OF LEEDS OF PUBLIC AMENITIES 2 APRIL 2020 A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR A message from Trust Director, Martin, regarding the Trust’s response to Covid-19. It doesn’t need me to tell you that these are extraordinary times. Back in January we were looking forward to a full year here at the Trust. Events were being finalised, a full schedule of blue plaque unveilings scheduled, our spring season of corporate lunches with a new caterer booked and plans to implement our five year Vision were progressing. We now have the proofs for the much- anticipated second Blue Plaques book, and we were looking forward to launch this in late Spring. A few short weeks later, and much of what we had planned is either impossible, impractical or will have to be done in a very different way. Whilst the work we do is important, we cannot class the Trust as an essential service. This has meant that Although our committees cannot The current situation also gives us for the moment we cannot have a meet physically, discussions continue the opportunity for some virtual presence at our Wharf Street Offices via email – and in the case of the spring cleaning.

WWW.LEEDSCIVICTRUST.ORG.UK 4 APRIL 2020 PLANNING NEWS Planning applications submitted to the Council move soley online, but our Committee are still meeting to review them. Last month it was Storm Dennis that dominated the news but it’s all different now. The Trust has had to close down almost all of its activities due to Covid-19 so this will be the last report on ‘live’ planning committee meetings for some time. However, we are looking to meet virtually (if not virtuously) through the means of teleconferencing. But back to early March and our only presentation to the full committee. This related to the proposal to construct a new terminal at Leeds Bradford Airport. We all appreciate that the existing building is unattractive, not fit for purpose and a poor entry point for the region. We thought the overall plans for the building were good but, while we had concerns about some of the layout details, we felt there were some fundamental issues to be addressed: • the long-term future of the airport: will the climate emergency, changing public attitudes to flying and high- speed rail services (direct or to hubs SANTANDER MERRION STREET such as Manchester or Heathrow) lead to a change in national policy which might make the airport the site of the Santander offices such a situation arises but here ‘redundant’? in Merrion Street.

    A Writer's Calendar

    A WRITER’S CALENDAR Compiled by J. L. Herrera for my mother and with special thanks to Rose Brown, Peter Jones, Eve Masterman, Yvonne Stadler, Marie-France Sagot, Jo Cauffman, Tom Errey and Gianni Ferrara INTRODUCTION I began the original calendar simply as a present for my mother, thinking it would be an easy matter to fill up 365 spaces. Instead it turned into an ongoing habit. Every time I did some tidying up out would flutter more grubby little notes to myself, written on the backs of envelopes, bank withdrawal forms, anything, and containing yet more names and dates. It seemed, then, a small step from filling in blank squares to letting myself run wild with the myriad little interesting snippets picked up in my hunting and adding the occasional opinion or memory. The beginning and the end were obvious enough. The trouble was the middle; the book was like a concertina — infinitely expandable. And I found, so much fun had the exercise become, that I was reluctant to say to myself, no more. Understandably, I’ve been dependent on other people’s memories and record- keeping and have learnt that even the weightiest of tomes do not always agree on such basic ‘facts’ as people’s birthdays. So my apologies for the discrepancies which may have crept in. In the meantime — Many Happy Returns! Jennie Herrera 1995 2 A Writer’s Calendar January 1st: Ouida J. D. Salinger Maria Edgeworth E. M.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced info the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on untii complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

KH: This is an interview on the 21st of November with Colin George. Can I just confirm that I've got your permission to put this into the archive? CG: You have. KH: Brilliant, I'd just like to start by asking about how you began working in the theatre? CG: Yes, I began straight from Oxford. I'd been… I suppose inspired by Laurence Olivier principally and his film Henry V, but also I saw him as a boy, in his first Richard III, his first great performance, at the New Theatre, with Olivier, with Richardson and those great seasons they had, Hotspur, you know and so on and decided I'd go into the theatre. And my mother, God bless her, said, ‘Well, get a degree first darling, then you'll always have something to fall back on’, which proved absolutely right, because when I was middle aged - not middle aged, but getting on, three kids and that and no money having left Sheffield and all that - I went to Australia to set up a drama department and later worked for twelve years in Hong Kong, was head of acting at the drama… and that saved my life.

    From Real Time to Reel Time: the Films of John Schlesinger

    From Real Time to Reel Time: The Films of John Schlesinger A study of the change from objective realism to subjective reality in British cinema in the 1960s By Desmond Michael Fleming Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2011 School of Culture and Communication Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne Produced on Archival Quality Paper Declaration This is to certify that: (i) the thesis comprises only my original work towards the PhD, (ii) due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used, (iii) the thesis is fewer than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies and appendices. Abstract The 1960s was a period of change for the British cinema, as it was for so much else. The six feature films directed by John Schlesinger in that decade stand as an exemplar of what those changes were. They also demonstrate a fundamental change in the narrative form used by mainstream cinema. Through a close analysis of these films, A Kind of Loving, Billy Liar, Darling, Far From the Madding Crowd, Midnight Cowboy and Sunday Bloody Sunday, this thesis examines the changes as they took hold in mainstream cinema. In effect, the thesis establishes that the principal mode of narrative moved from one based on objective realism in the tradition of the documentary movement to one which took a subjective mode of narrative wherein the image on the screen, and the sounds attached, were not necessarily a record of the external world. The world of memory, the subjective world of the mind, became an integral part of the narrative.
