PDF-119-2 Page 2 John Fishwick & Sons 1907-2015 After a spell working with the Leyland Steam Motor Company in Leyland, John Fishwick decided to start his own haulage business. In 1907 he purchased a steam wagon from his former employers and began hauling rubber from the local works to Liverpool and Manchester. In 1910 he purchased another Leyland vehicle - this time a Leyland X-type with petrol engine that was used as a lorry but could be fitted with a very basic style of wagonette body seating 30 passengers for a Saturday only service to Leyland market from Eccleston, that commenced in 1911. More vehicles followed, most of which had interchangeable bodies for use as a lorry as well as a bus. Soon John Fishwick was operating a number of routes serving Preston, Chorley and Ormskirk.
2020 Book News Welcome to Our 2020 Book News

2020 Book News Welcome to our 2020 Book News. It’s hard to believe another year has gone by already and what a challenging year it’s been on many fronts. We finally got the Hallmark book launched at Showbus. The Red & White volume is now out on final proof and we hope to have copies available in time for Santa to drop under your tree this Christmas. Sorry this has taken so long but there have been many hurdles to overcome and it’s been a much bigger project than we had anticipated. Several other long term projects that have been stuck behind Red & White are now close to release and you’ll see details of these on the next couple of pages. Whilst mentioning bigger projects and hurdles to overcome, thank you to everyone who has supported my latest charity fund raiser in aid of the Christie Hospital. The Walk for Life challenge saw me trekking across Greater Manchester to 11 cricket grounds, covering over 160 miles in all weathers, and has so far raised almost £6,000 for the Christie.

Wanstead Flats

WANSTEAD FLATS Individual Site Plan Date 08/01/2020 Version Number V4 Review Date Author Fiona Martin/Geoff Sinclair Land Area 187 ha Compartment Number 38 Designations Epping Forest Land (1878 Act) Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) Registered Park and Garden Archaeological Priority Area Site of Metropolitan Importance Locally Important Geological Site Green Belt Wanstead Flats Wanstead Flats INDIVIDUAL SITE PLAN SUMMARY Wanstead Flats forms the largest of the thirty-eight management compartments that comprise Epping Forest. It is an area of open acid grassland, sports pitches, heath, scrub, woodland, scattered trees and waterbodies, located at the southern end of Epping Forest; owned and managed by the City of London Corporation (COL). Wanstead Flats has a number of statutory designations and is a hugely important resource for the people of northeast London, both for its provision of sporting facilities and also for the opportunity to experience a natural environment within urban surroundings. It is one of the few breeding sites for Skylark (Alauda arvensis) in London and is a notable stop-off for migrating birds. It has a long and well-documented history, from the historical right of commoners to graze cattle and the inception of Epping Forest as a legal entity in 1878, through to World War II and modern times. Significant predicted housing growth is planned in the local area with consequent additional visitor pressure. This Individual Site Plan lists current management considerations but also presents a strategic work programme to ensure a sustainable future for the conservation and heritage interest of Wanstead Flats, along with its immense recreational value.

Development of Organised Transportation in London

TfL Corporate Archives Research Guides Research Guide No 10: Development of Organised Transportation in London The establishment of the Underground Electric Railways Company of London in 1902 represented the birth of organised mass transportation in London. Whilst not all of the existing rail operators were initially incorporated, this bringing together of the Metropolitan District Railway, the Baker Street and Waterloo Railway, the Charing Cross, Euston and Hampstead Railway, and the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway, constituted the foundation of the over-arching corporate body responsible for transportation as we know it. This guide charts the key dates in the management of organised transportation in London, from the earliest railway and coach companies to the current incarnation of Transport for London. It is divided into 4 sections: Section1: Companies that became part of the Underground Group prior to 1933 ........ 4 Section2: Companies which merged with other companies prior to becoming part of the Underground Group ...................................................................................................... 8 Section 3: Companies which became part of LPTB on 1/7/1933 which had never been part of the Underground Group ........................................................................................ 15 Section 4: Organisations formed within LT as subsidiaries or acquired after 1/7/1933 ............................................................................................................................................

After a brief AGM, the real business of the day was kicked off by new director Amy Graham. Amy presented findings from a project carried out as part of her Master’s degree in ‘Heritage (Contemporary Practice)', which she completed at Kingston University. The project, Bus Travel and the Heritage of Everyday Life, focussed on the number 213 bus route – her regular commuting journey from her home in Worcester Park to Kingston upon Thames for her work as a Local History Officer as well as for her studies. With outward and return journeys taking an average of one hour each way, Amy had plenty of time to observe the world in and around the bus, listen to stories from her fellow travellers, and write up her findings in a series of field notebooks (a description of some of the work in this Newly-elected Director Amy Graham “becomes” the 213 bus project appeared in our August 2014 issue). as part of her research. The overarching theme of Amy's project is that London bus route 213 connects Kingston and Sutton, transport history is everyone's history, and this feeling and first ran on the 7th of September 1921; currently is intensified on public transport, buses in particular, buses run every six to eight minutes throughout the where we are more or less forced to interact with our day, passing Kingston Hospital and then travelling fellow travellers, rather than being isolated from them through New Malden, Old Malden, Worcester Park, when travelling in private cars.
