Rambling Away from the Smoke RAMBLING AWAY FROM THE SMOKE APPENDIX A (Version 5) (front cover) 1 RAMBLING AWAY FROM THE SMOKE APPENDIX 1 : Excursion dates and destinations NOTES 1 This appendix only shows the information for which we have evidence, e.g handbills, itinerary sheets. Anyone with further information is requested to contact the authors. 2 The first column shows the excursion dates, which are all Sundays unless shown otherwise. The second column shows the train operator (see abbreviations below), or ‘C’ = coach. The third column shows the (sometimes approximate) number of people attending (where known). The fourth column shows the destinations, plus in brackets the fare (where known, from the central London starting point; reduced fares were usually offered from suburban pick-up points). In some cases where there is a differential, the fare to the furthest destination is shown. 3 Below this in blue is the organiser’s name (where known) and any other comments of interest. 4 Names of known leaders (with their rearguards in brackets) are shown on the right-hand side after their party numbers. Rearguard names were not routinely disclosed until the Autumn programme of 1960. 5 All these excursions started from the appropriate central London terminus unless shown otherwise. 6 Dates for which no details are available are shown in green. It is hoped that further information will come to light in due course.

  • LACEY GREEN SCHOOL Joan West 2000
    LACEY GREEN SCHOOL My idea was to write about the school, but found the teachers’ log and the Inspectors’ reports told the story by themselves. I have resisted the temptation to add my own thoughts. “Step back with me and be caught up in the struggle to climb the educational ladder”. Feel for the teacher who asks “How can I teach 60 children in one small classroom all on my own, with ages from three to fourteen”. Some children walk over two miles to school. They arrive soaking wet but there is nowhere to hang their things let alone dry them. It is cold and dark. How can we succeed?” But this is a success story. It is social history. You will have to imagine the curriculum, heavy on religion. Just a taste on the first page for some swashbuckling stories. Although this is about Lacey Green it could be any little village. These teachers and children have me enthralled so that sometimes 1900 A.D. seems more real than the year 2000. -ooOoo- This booklet is dedicated to all who laid the foundations, against such odds, of the modern school that we know today as St. John’s Combined Church of England School, Lacey Green. Joan West 2000 Lacey Green School - Against all odds CONTENTS Lacey Green School History Lacey Green School and the Old Chapel, by Dennis Claydon The Old Chapel by Teresa Foster Lacey Green School Log Book 1874 – 1930, including Coronation Festivities June 1911 Scholars who fought in the First World War Census 1851 The Name “Lacey"! Lacey Green School Conveyance 1875 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I must acknowledge the help given to me by Teresa Foster and Dennis Claydon, both of whom have written for the book, not to mention spending hours pondering over all the possibilities and encouraging me when the see-saw of enthusiasm had got me at the low end.

  • The 2005 Striped Lychnis
    BUTTERFLY CONSERVATION UPPER THAMES BRANCH The 2005 Striped Lychnis (Shargacucullia lychnitis) Report for Buckinghamshire by Peter Hall On behalf of Butterfly Conservation and Buckinghamshire County Council Countryside Services. A special thank you goes to the following people who gave up their time and in some cases, annual leave, to help with surveying for this special moth. As more sites are discovered, and the number of known plants increases, full scale surveying becomes quite an onerous task. Weather conditions this year were also very mixed and surveying in full waterproofs is not the most comfortable of occupations.
