  • “Accompt of Writing Belonging to Me Pet. Burrell” Notes on Marriage, Birth and Death 1687 - 1704
    “Accompt of Writing belonging to me Pet. Burrell” Notes on marriage, birth and death 1687 - 1704 Introduction During a research visit to the Kent History and Library Centre in October 2019, the bundle “MANORIAL DOCUMENTS AND DEEDS (1250-1927)” was ordered. The documents related to the Burrell family of Beckenham, Kent. My role was “research assistant” to my husband, Keith, who was working on deeds and leases relating to Shortlands House and Estate in the 17th and 18th centuries (see “Shortlands House and Estate 14th – 21st Century”). Peter Burrell 1649/50 – 1718 ©Kent Archives Ref: U36/F1 Reproduced by kind permission ©Burrell Family Collection/Knepp Castle One of the items in the bundle was U36/F1 “Burrell family – account book of Peter Burrell, including account of rents 1687-1694, repairs at Beckenham (no details) 1692; lands purchased 1698-1704, notes on birth and death of children 1687-1701”. It was a small notebook containing an inscription stating that it was the property of Peter Burrell. The first 61 “folios” (double pages), neatly detailed the who, when and what of financial and land transactions. These I duly transcribed to confirm the dates and names of owners and tenants detailed various purchases, sales and exchanges of fields, houses, farms and estates. This appeared to be the end of the accounts and there was a handy index of names at the back of the book. However, leafing past the blank pages, I came to pages crowded with less carefully penned writing, with continuations in margins and marks indicating where, having run out of room on one folio, Peter had continued an entry on another page.

  • Call for Entries from Architects, Designers and Artists to Improve Culture Mile’S Pedestrian Experience Along Its North-South Route
    Call for entries from architects, designers and artists to improve Culture Mile’s pedestrian experience along its North-South route The City of London Corporation is delighted to announce a call for entries to improve wayfinding, walkability and the pedestrian experience along Culture Mile’s ‘North-South route’ between the Millennium Bridge and Barbican. The City of London Corporation is seeking an innovative design concept and proposal for the ‘Culture Mile North-South Route’, between the Millennium Bridge, St Paul’s Cathedral, Aldersgate Street and St Martin’s-le-Grand, to be included as part of the Culture Mile 2019-2020 public programme. The City is looking for inspiring designs that will improve the wayfinding, walkability, appearance and vitality of this key thoroughfare, which links the Southbank to the Culture Mile area. This busy route incorporates entrances to several landmarks, such as St Paul’s Cathedral, the Museum of London and the Barbican estate. It includes the Barbican and St Paul’s underground stations, which collectively provide over 28 million passenger entrances/exits annually. We are inviting architects, designers and artists to submit a concept design that will elevate and enhance the look and feel of this area, providing visual cues, increased wayfinding and a deeper sense of connection between St Paul’s and Barbican underground stations. Following the shortlist of entries in July, the winning team will be revealed and commissioned to develop a fully costed, feasible design that can be installed in a section of the route, subject to planning permission and other relevant City authorisations. The design will remain in situ between Autumn 2019 and Spring 2020.

  • Redemptive Landscape in Rose Macaulay's the World My Wilderness
    Redemptive Landscape in Rose Macaulay’s The World My Wilderness Lauren Smith Dickey A Senior Thesis submitted to the English Department of Haverford College April 8, 2010 Advisor: Professor Stephen Finley The cover shows St Giles Church, Cripplegate by David Tindle, RA, 1955. 1 On September 7, 1940, the skies over London filled with nearly a thousand German planes. Of those, 348 held the explosives that would fall on the capital city for the next two hours. This was the beginning of the London Blitz, a series of air bombings that lasted day and night until May 11, 1941.1 London was attacked from the air again “between June and September 1944 and again from September to March 1945.”2 During these fearful months, 20,000 people were killed, while over a million homes in the city were either destroyed or sustained some damage brought on by the Blitz.3 In 1946, though the Blitz was over and the bombings ceased, the ruins of bombed buildings remained. The last of the ruined buildings was restored as late as 1989. Thus, for more than forty years, the city’s landscape was marked with the remnants of war, fear, and violence. The city of London and its inhabitants have had no choice but to remember. To many people, the ruins took on the quality of a memorial, imbued with special significance because of the people who once lived and worked in the now destroyed buildings. Ruins, however, are not static memorials. They are subject to change, more so than buildings that remain intact.

  • City of London Spatial Classification
    LONDON ELECTORAL HISTORY – STEPS TOWARDS DEMOCRACY 7.8 LONDON AND SPATIAL CLASSIFICATION Note: Following the LEH website conventions, ‘London’ refers to the parliamentary constituency. ‘City of London’ is the spatial entity O! [London’s] Lamps of a night! Her rich goldsmiths, print shops, toy shops, mercers, hardwaremen, pastry cooks! – St. Paul’s churchyard, the Strand! Exeter Change! – Charing Cross, with the man upon a black horse! – These are thy Gods O London – … All the streets and pavements are pure gold, I warrant you. – At least I know an Alchemy that turns her mud into that metal – a mind that loves to be at home in Crowds... .1 ‘London’ has long meant different things to different people. As Charles Lamb’s enthusiastic commentary indicated, it catered well for those who could cope with its crowds and diversity. Administrative London, the centre of national government, overlapped with the legal and legislative centres of the nation, while the West End became the seasonal playground of the well-to-do and the home of smart shops, with poor areas providing cheap labour tucked among the grandeur. Eastwards, commercial and financial London focused on the port and the City of London itself. It had a different appearance: of wharves and warehouses riverwards, and dwelling-places and nearby counting-houses. To take one literary example, Elizabeth Bennet’s uncle Gardiner was a City wholesaler, living, as Jane Austen specified, ‘by trade and within view of his own warehouses.’2 But over time, the City’s business premises were increasingly supplanting residential properties within the inner city, as the march of London into Middlesex provided accommodation for the teeming masses of the metropolis.
