  • NEWSLETTER National Trust Issue 107 Winter 2018 £1 (Free to Members) from the Chairman John James a Happy New Year to You All
    The Friends of Osterley Park In support of the NEWSLETTER National Trust Issue 107 Winter 2018 £1 (free to members) from the Chairman John James A Happy New Year to you all. We finished our programme for 2017 with a Christmas Lunch in the Brewhouse. It was a lovely occasion, with the café providing an excellent meal. The year also ended well for the House and Park, as they won the Running Awards 2018 for Best 10K Run in Greater London. The property have also concluded the staff and volunteer survey, with 170 completing it, an increase on last year. An innovation has been a trial allowing dogs into the gardens and to the stable café (a limited number at a time). The trial is running from 6th November 2017 to 23rd February 2018. The Halloween Pumpkin Festival was a great success. 2,000 pumpkins were sold, 11,000 individual marshmallows were packed and sold at the fire pits. It was also hugely successful for catering and retail. Another success was achieving the membership targets for the year. I mentioned in the Autumn newsletter the advert that Mike Doran was able to place on the website of Reach. It led to our finding a new Membership Secretary in Keith Rookledge. We welcome him to the Friends’ committee. Margaret Friday again arranged some very interesting London visits, to the Museum of Garden History and to the Jewel House, Westminster. Our coach trips continue to be well attended and the September visit was to the Shuttleworth Collection, Old Warden and in October to Sudeley Castle.

  • The Stones of Osterley Park House Ruth Siddall
    Urban Geology in London No. 37 The Stones of Osterley Park House Ruth Siddall Osterley Park House was designed and built by Robert Adam (1728-1792) in the late 18th Century, between 1761 and the 1780s. It was commissioned by the Child Family and superseded a Tudor Mansion on the same site. Adam had ‘total design’ control of the construction and interior decoration of the house. This assumes that Adam also had a hand in overseeing if not selecting the building materials used. This brief report summarises the building and decorative stones used in the building, as observed following a visit to Osterley Park House in June 2017. Portico and Courtyard Portland Whitbed is used for the pediment, balustrade, quoins and other stone dressings on the exterior of Osterley Park House. It is also used for paving and for the columns supporting the pediment. This stone is identified by the pale grey colour with darker fossilised shells of oysters, which now weather slightly proud of the surface. Sedimentary bedding alignment can be detected in both columns and in some flagstones due to the concentration of shell beds. Portland Whitbed is the most commonly used of three main building stones extracted from the Portland Limestone Formation which occurs in outcrop and subcrop on the Isle of Portland, a peninsula on the Dorset Coast. Whitbed contains variable fossil content, predominantly in the form of oyster shells with well-preserved, laminated shells and also fragments of the reef-forming algae Solenpora portlandica. Two other units are also extracted as building stone; the Basebed and the Roach.

  • Winchmore Hill
    Enfield Society News No. 194, Summer 2014 Enfield’s ‘mini-Holland’ project: for and against In our last issue we discussed some of the proposals in Enfield Council’s bid under the London Mayor’s “mini-Holland” scheme to make the borough more cycle-friendly. On 10th March the Mayor announced that Enfield was one of three boroughs whose bids had been selected and that we would receive up to £30 million to implement the project. This provides a great opportunity to make extensive changes and improvements which will affect everyone who uses our streets and town centres, but there is not unanimous agreement that the present proposals are the best way of spending this money. The Council has promised extensive consultations before the proposals are developed to a detailed design stage, but it is not clear whether there are conditions attached to the funds which would prevent significant departures from the proposals in the bid. The Enfield Society thinks that it would be premature to express a definitive view until the options have been fully explored, but we are keen to participate in the consultation process, in accordance with the aim in our constitution to “ensure that new developments are environmentally sound, well designed and take account of the relevant interests of all sections of the community”. We have therefore asked two of our members to write columns for and against the current proposals, in order to stimulate discussion. A third column, from the Enfield Town Conservation Area Study Group, suggests a more visionary transformation of Enfield Town. Yes to mini-Holland! Doubts about mini- Let’s start with the people of Enfield.

    Traffic noise maps of public parks in Hounslow May 2018 This document shows traffic noise maps for parks in the borough. The noise maps are taken from http://www.extrium.co.uk/noiseviewer.html. Occasionally, google earth or google map images are included to help the reader identify where the park is located. Similar documents are available for all London Boroughs. These were created as part of research into the impact of traffic noise in London’s parks. They should be read in conjunction with the main report and data analysis which are available at http://www.cprelondon.org.uk/resources/item/2390-noiseinparks. The key to the traffic noise maps is shown here to the right. Orange denotes noise of 55 decibels (dB). Louder noises are denoted by reds and blues with dark blue showing the loudest. Where the maps appear with no colour and are just grey, this means there is no traffic noise of 55dB or above. London Borough of Hounslow 1 1. Beaversfield Park 2. Bedfont Lake Country Park 3.

  • Records of Gardening, Parks and Open Spaces in LMA
    RESEARCH GUIDE 56 - Records of gardening, parks and open spaces in LMA CONTENTS Introduction Private Gardens Public Gardens Institutional gardens Amateur Gardens Council records Prints, maps and photographs Finding aids Records Inherited records Introduction London Metropolitan Archives (LMA) holds a variety of records relating to gardening and horticulture in the Greater London area. Foremost amongst these are the records of the Worshipful Company of Gardeners, one of the City Livery Companies. There is a reference to an organisation of gardeners as early as 1345. By the time of the granting of the Company's first charter in 1605, it was fully in control of its trade. By the mid 19th century the Company was in abeyance, but it revived in the 1890s. It received its grant of arms in 1905. In recent years, the Company has been notable for running a number of campaigns and competitions in the City of London. It also continues the tradition of providing bouquets and flowers for members of the Royal family and for Royal occasions. The archives held at LMA date from 1605, but early membership records are patchy, and court minutes do not begin until the second half of the 18th century. The archive is not large, but it is notable for a series of scrapbooks recording the history of the company since 1345, begun by the company in 1934 and continuing to the present day. The company's collection of printed books is deposited at Guildhall Library, Aldermanbury, London EC2V 7HH. Private Gardens Among the early records of horticulture are seventeenth-century probate inventories of gardeners in Westminster and Middlesex in the records of the church courts.
