The start of the section is served by the 18 bus route (from Euston, Baker Street and Marylebone) and is near Kensal Green station. Kensal Green was the fi rst of the Magnifi cent Seven suburban cemeteries which were opened during the nineteenth century, Harrow Road, at the when inner London had begun to run out of burial space. It was summit of the Borough of modelled on the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris, and was opened Hammersmith and Fulham in 1833. Among the 56000 who are buried in Kensal Green, there is the usual broad range of people. Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the engineer, is here with his parents, as are Charles Blondin (tightrope-walker), Charles Babbage (computer pioneer), the authors Wilkie Collins and Anthony Trollope, and two children of George III, along with one of his grandsons. There is a cenotaph to the Reformers’ Movement of Robert Owen, Elizaeth Fry, and their peers. The pioneering nurse Mary Seacole (see below) is buried in the adjoining Roman Catholic cemetery, on the west side of the main burial ground. On the cemetery side of Harrow Road, cross into the 7.2 Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham at Alma Place, and continue for 400m to reach the borough summit, 46m above sea level. This stretch of Harrow Road is replete with Brazilian and other Lusophone businesses: the summit is located near the bus stop (18 Scrapyards on Scrubs Lane route) outside the Brazilian convenience shop called Tradição de Portugal / Delicias do Brasil. Continue along Harrow Road, which bends to the left as you descend away from the railway (which runs from Kensal Rise into Willesden Junction ahead). Pass the Centro Galego de Londres (serving the local population of Galicians, from north-western Spain) on your left and, with the modern 7 – 2 London Summits Walk © 2017-21 IG Liddell yellow-brick fl ats of Brunel Court on your right, turn left down Scrubs Lane, crossing over the West Coast Main Line railway, whose trains speed to Glasgow, Manchester and more. Just past Hythe Road (over on your right), you will be grateful that our summits on the London Summits Walk are defi ned as being strictly at street level — an alp of scrap metal towers over its fence. Beyond the scrapyards, cross over to the right-hand pavement before you reach the canal: between the road and the canal lies a tiny park: this is the Mary Seacole Memorial Garden. Mary Seacole (1805-1881) was a Jamaican woman of Scots and African descent who nursed behind the lines in the Crimean War, between Balaclava and Sevastopol; at her establishment there, she was visited by the celebrated chef Alexis Soyer, who later noted favourable opinions of Seacole given by Florence Nightingale at Scutari. In later life, she suff ered fi nancially, but a fund which was set up to sustain her could boast the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh among its patrons. She died in Paddington in 1881 and is buried in the Roman Catholic cemetery in Kensal Green (not, as incorrectly noted on a local school’s interpretation board in the park, in Kensal Rise). Among many modern remembrances, Brunel, Salford, Birmingham City and De Montford universities have named facilities after her, and when a former military hospital in Surrey was drafted in as a rehabilitation centre for suff erers from Covid-19, it was renamed the Mary Seacole Centre. Follow Scrubs Lane over the Grand Union Canal and the Great Western Railway, continuing under yet another railway (the London Overground from Willesden Junction towards Shepherd’s Bush). In The Prime Minister, the fi fth of his six Palliser novels, Anthony Trollope (who is buried in Kensal Green Cemetery) sets a suicide scene at what he calls the “Tenway Junction”. This was based on Willesden Junction, where many railway lines converge. After passing under the railway line, walk to the far end of an advertising hoarding on your right. There is then a short grey security fence with a gate; at the next tree, a brick path goes off to the right. Wormwood Scrubs Park © 2017-21 IG Liddell London Summits Walk 7 – 3 Clouds gather over Take this path through a fringe of scrubland, and walk Wormwood Scrubs 7.3 out to the broad expanse of grass which is Wormwood Scrubs Park. Make straight across the park, aiming for the left-hand edge of the prominent clump of trees and bushes in the middle (negotiating the touchlines of the football fi elds, of course, if matches are in progress). This is a wide expanse, and is noted for the variety of birds and other wildlife. Continue past the clump of trees, and keep on ahead until a path veers off at about 60° to the left, making for a gap in another clump of trees. The corner of the famous prison — HMP Wormwood Scrubs in formal parlance — is farther over to the left. Go through the gap in the trees, and follow the path out to a road at a T-junction, with a school over to your left. You have reached the edge of the East Acton Estate, built up in the 1920s on what had been Acton Wells Farm. East Acton has long featured as the butt of comedy, appearing (yes, even before the estate’s construction) in the late nineteenth century in The Diary of a Nobody by George and Weedon Grossmith; the Sykes BBC television sitcom of the 1970s (with Eric Sykes and Hatt ie Jacques) Erconwald Street, was set in a (fi ctional) house in East Acton. Two decades earlier, an East Acton episode of The Goon Show on BBC radio had lamented the lack of earthquakes in East Acton. The East Acton Estate was where author Peter Ackroyd grew up: such street-names as Wulfstan and Erconwald helped, he said, generate an interest in the history of London and of Britain. This large council estate was built with a late nod to the Arts and Crafts movement, with the precise intention to give 7 – 4 London Summits Walk © 2017-21 IG Liddell an olde-worlde villagey feel to the area, but using modern materials. Continue straight ahead along the full length of Erconwald Street, passing under the Tube line at East Acton station. At the end of Erconwald Street, with the striking Roman Catholic church of St Aidan of Lindisfarne (built in 1961) ahead, bear left onto Old Oak Common Lane, keeping on its left-hand pavement to reach Claydon Gardens park, Westway, the A40. Turn left for a few metres to fi nd the (divided) Acton pedestrian crossing over to Old Oak Road. Cross over onto the right-hand pavement of Old Oak 7.4 Road: beyond the one-way system, there is one of the saddest litt le parks in London, Claydon Gardens. Unprepossessing it may be, but there might just be a link with the Mary Seacole Park met earlier. Sir Harry Verney gave over some rooms at Claydon House, in the Chilterns, as workspace for the designing of hospitals by Florence Nightingale. Just keep going on, with the park on your right, towards Uxbridge Road, passing on your way another brick-barn church similar to St Martin’s in Kensal Green. This building was constructed as St Saviour’s Anglican church, which became a prime Anglican resource for deaf people, but it has been re-purposed and was recently consecrated as the mother church of the Syriac Orthodox Church in London, as the Cathedral of St Thomas the Apostle, of the Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East (it somehow elevates the area from being called plain old Acton — or is that just another echo of the Goons’ and Grossmiths’ view of the district?). Cross Uxbridge Road, the old coach road to Oxford and beyond, now superseded in that respect by the Westway, and continue ahead into Askew Road, past houses and then through a shopping area.

  • Imperial Desire and Masculine Crisis in Early Francoist Film Representations of the Loss of the Philippines and Cuba
    IMPERIAL DESIRE AND MASCULINE CRISIS IN EARLY FRANCOIST FILM REPRESENTATIONS OF THE LOSS OF THE PHILIPPINES AND CUBA Jo Labanyi New York University It is well known that one of the prime motives triggering the Nationalist uprising against the Second Republic in 1936 was military resentment at the loss of empire, perceived by the military as the fault of inept politicians to whose orders they were subordinate. As is also well known, the 1941 film scripted by General Franco, Raza , starts in 1898 with the return of its naval-captain patriarch, Churruca, from service in the Philippines, only to be despatched immediately to Cuba, dying in battle against the US fleet. Churruca complains that the Spanish government’s ‘neglect’ of the Philippines is aggravating insurrection. The Spanish naval commander in Cuba, as he sends his captains into battle against the US fleet, tells them they are going to certain defeat but have to obey government orders. In Raza , this discourse on empire is intimately bound up with a discourse on patriarchy; past military defeats are compensated, not just by the Nationalist victory parade of April 1939 which ends the film, but by the docility with which, throughout the movie, women accept their role of “service” to men. The obverse of this is that male heroism depends on women continuing to play this instrumental role: a dependence on women that is the source of male unease. The two films discussed in this article -Los últimos de Filipinas and Bambú , both made in 1945 and set against the independence struggle in the Philippines and Cuba respectively- oscillate between stress on male bonding, which excludes women, and the dramatization of women’s power over men.

  • 1 BBC Four Biopics
    BBC Four biopics: Lessons in Trashy Respectability The broadcast of Burton and Taylor in July 2013 marked the end of a decade- long cycle of feature-length biographical dramas transmitted on BBC Four, the niche arts and culture digital channel of the public service broadcaster. The subjects treated in these biopics were various: political figures, famous cooks, authors of popular literature, comedians and singers. The dramas focused largely on the unhappy or complex personal lives of well-loved figures of British popular culture. From the lens of the 21st century, these dramas offered an opportunity for audiences to reflect on the culture and society of the 20th century, changing television’s famous function of ‘witness’ to one of ‘having witnessed’ and/or ‘remembering’ (Ellis, 2000). The programmes function as nostalgia pieces, revisiting personalities familiar to the anticipated older audience of BBC Four, working in concert with much of the archive and factual content on the digital broadcaster’s schedules. However, by revealing apparent ‘truths’ that reconfigure the public images of the figures they narrate, these programmes also undermine nostalgic impulses, presenting conflicting interpretations of the recent past. They might equally be seen as impudent incursions onto the memory of the public figures, unnecessarily exposing the real-life subjects to censure, ridicule or ex post facto critical judgement. Made thriftily on small budgets, the films were modest and spare in visual style but were generally well received critically, usually thanks to writerly screenplays and strong central performances. The dramas became an irregular but important staple of the BBC Four schedule, furnishing the channel with some of their highest ratings in a history chequered by low audience numbers.

  • HATTIE JACQUES Born Josephine Edwina Jacques on February 7" 1922 She Went on to Become a Nationally Recognised Figure in the British Cinema of the 1950S and 60S
    Hattie Jacaues Born 127 High St 1922 Chapter Twelve HATTIE JACQUES Born Josephine Edwina Jacques on February 7" 1922 she went on to become a nationally recognised figure in the British cinema of the 1950s and 60s. Her father, Robin Jacques was in the army and stationed at Shorncliffe Camp at the time of her birth. The Register of Electors shows the Jacques family residing at a house called Channel View in Sunnyside Road. (The register shows the name spelled as JAQUES, without the C. Whether Hattie changed the spelling or whether it was an error on the part of those who printed the register I don’t know) Hattie, as she was known, made her entrance into the world in the pleasant seaside village of Sandgate, mid way between Folkestone to the east and Hythe to the west. Initially Hattie trained as a hairdresser but as with many people of her generation the war caused her life to take a different course. Mandatory work saw Hattie first undertaking nursing duties and then working in North London as a welder Even in her twenties she was of a generous size and maybe as defence she honed her sense of humour after finding she had a talent for making people laugh. She first became involved in show business through her brother who had a job as the lift operator at the premises of the Little Theatre located then on the top floor of 43 Kings Street in Covent Garden. At end of the war the Little Theatre found itself in new premises under the railway arches below Charing Cross Station.

  • The Nation's Matron: Hattie Jacques and British Post-War Popular Culture
    The Nation’s Matron: Hattie Jacques and British post-war popular culture Estella Tincknell Abstract: Hattie Jacques was a key figure in British post-war popular cinema and culture, condensing a range of contradictions around power, desire, femininity and class through her performances as a comedienne, primarily in the Carry On series of films between 1958 and 1973. Her recurrent casting as ‘Matron’ in five of the hospital-set films in the series has fixed Jacques within the British popular imagination as an archetypal figure. The contested discourses around nursing and the centrality of the NHS to British post-war politics, culture and identity, are explored here in relation to Jacques’s complex star meanings as a ‘fat woman’, ‘spinster’ and authority figure within British popular comedy broadly and the Carry On films specifically. The article argues that Jacques’s star meanings have contributed to nostalgia for a supposedly more equitable society symbolised by socialised medicine and the feminine authority of the matron. Keywords: Hattie Jacques; Matron; Carry On films; ITMA; Hancock’s Half Hour; Sykes; star persona; post-war British cinema; British popular culture; transgression; carnivalesque; comedy; femininity; nursing; class; spinster. 1 Hattie Jacques (1922 – 1980) was a gifted comedienne and actor who is now largely remembered for her roles as an overweight, strict and often lovelorn ‘battle-axe’ in the British Carry On series of low- budget comedy films between 1958 and 1973. A key figure in British post-war popular cinema and culture, Hattie Jacques’s star meanings are condensed around the contradictions she articulated between power, desire, femininity and class.

  • HANCOCK's HALF HOUR COLLECTIBLES Notes To
    HANCOCK’S HALF HOUR COLLECTIBLES Notes to Accompany Volume 3 All photographs copyright (C) BBC (unless otherwise stated) The Tony Hancock Appreciation Society is delighted to have given its support to the production of this new and unique series concerning the lost works of Tony Hancock. Tony Hancock: BBC Publicity Shot for Hancock’s Half Hour, November 1956 The Tony Hancock Appreciation Society (THAS) Since its creation in 1976, the THAS has dedicated itself to preserving and promoting the works of Tony Hancock and, more crucially, to finding his broadcasts that were missing from the archives. Over the decades, these efforts have yielded a wealth of material, most notably lost episodes of his most beloved work on Hancock’s Half Hour for both television and radio. Many of these have now been located and returned to the BBC; some feature in this special series of Collectibles, now into 1 its third volume. However, many still remain lost at this time. In addition, our efforts have found other material – shows recorded before Hancock became a household name – from series such as Calling All Forces, Variety Bandbox and Star Bill. Again, examples of these can be found in this series. In the previous volumes, there was an extensive analysis of missing recordings from Hancock’s radio career, and, as ever, we remain hopeful that some of these recordings will emerge from private collections or, perhaps, the archives of the BBC or other institutions. In these notes, we will focus on a number of missing recordings and shows outside the ‘core’ work Hancock did on his eponymous series and those that preceded it.

    Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Natural England works for people, places and nature to conserve and enhance biodiversity, landscapes and wildlife in rural, urban, coastal and marine areas. We conserve and enhance the natural environment for its intrinsic value, iithe wellbeing and enjoyment of people, and the economic prosperity it brings. Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Introduction My vision for London is of a green city, and a fair city, where everyone has access to a high quality green space in which wildlife can be encountered close to where they live and work. London has some of the Ýnest parks of any capital city in the world. Yet it also has some areas lacking in green space, and many more where the quality of the green spaces could be better. This booklet provides a valuable practical guide on how to improve access to nature in parks and green spaces, complimenting my London Plan Implementation Report on Improving LondonersÔ access to nature. Appropriate design and management of our parks and green spaces will be one of the key challenges that will enable the City to adapt to climate change. Park managers need to be working now to plant the trees that will provide shade for a much warmer city in the 2080s. We also need to start thinking now how our parks can help in addressing broader environmental challenges such as Þood risk management.

  • Gb 1456 Thomas
    GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION SCOPE AND CONTENT Documents relating to the career of director GERALD THOMAS (Born Hull 10/12/1920, died Beaconsfield 9/11/1993). When Gerald Thomas died, his producer partner of 40 years Peter Rogers said: ‘His epitaph will be that he directed all the Carry On films.’ Indeed, for an intense 20-year period Thomas directed the Carry On gang through their innuendo laden exploits, and became responsible, along with Rogers, for creating one of the most enduring and endearing British film series, earning him his place in British popular culture. Thomas originally studied to become a doctor, before war service with the Royal Sussex Regiment put paid to his medical career. When demobilised in 1946, he took a job as assistant in the cutting rooms of Two Cities Films at Denham Studios, where he took Assistant Editor credits on Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet (1948) and the John Mills thriller The October Man (1947). In 1949, he received his first full credit as editor, on the Margaret Lockwood melodrama Madness of the Heart (1949). During this time Peter Rogers had been working as associate producer with his wife, producer Betty Box, on such films as It’s Not Cricket (1949) and Don’t Ever Leave Me (1949). It was Venetian Bird in 1952 that first brought Thomas and Rogers together; Thomas employed as editor by director brother Ralph, and Rogers part of the producer team with Betty Box. Rogers was keen to form a director/producer pairing (following the successful example of Box and Ralph Thomas), and so gave Gerald his first directing credit on the Circus Friends (1956), a Children’s Film Foundation production.
