  • Abercrombie's Green-Wedge Vision for London: the County of London Plan 1943 and the Greater London Plan 1944
    Abercrombie’s green-wedge vision for London: the County of London Plan 1943 and the Greater London Plan 1944 Abstract This paper analyses the role that the green wedges idea played in the main official reconstruction plans for London, namely the County of London Plan 1943 and the Greater London Plan 1944. Green wedges were theorised in the first decade of the twentieth century and discussed in multifaceted ways up to the end of the Second World War. Despite having been prominent in many plans for London, they have been largely overlooked in planning history. This paper argues that green wedges were instrumental in these plans to the formulation of a more modern, sociable, healthier and greener peacetime London. Keywords: Green wedges, green belt, reconstruction, London, planning Introduction Green wedges have been theorised as an essential part of planning debates since the beginning of the twentieth century. Their prominent position in texts and plans rivalled that of the green belt, despite the comparatively disproportionate attention given to the latter by planning historians (see, for example, Purdom, 1945, 151; Freestone, 2003, 67–98; Ward, 2002, 172; Sutcliffe, 1981a; Amati and Yokohari, 1997, 311–37). From the mid-nineteenth century, the provision of green spaces became a fundamental aspect of modern town planning (Dümpelmann, 2005, 75; Dal Co, 1980, 141–293). In this context, the green wedges idea emerged as a solution to the need to provide open spaces for growing urban areas, as well as to establish a direct 1 connection to the countryside for inner city dwellers. Green wedges would also funnel fresh air, greenery and sunlight into the urban core.

  • Being High Sheriff of Herefordshire in the 2020 Pandemic
    1 Being High Sheriff of Herefordshire in the 2020 pandemic Early in the three years of nomination, I was given some great advice by Bill Jackson: go to every event you can and meet as many people as possible. How glad I was to have followed this advice, when on 20th March 2020, exactly a year ago today, I was declared High Sheriff of Herefordshire in the office of the Under Sheriff as the Covid-19 pandemic took hold and the country went into lockdown. As for very many other people, those first weeks were a struggle. I was totally bewildered as those years of planning for the year were cast aside. I’m in business and have always been able to find someone to provide a solution if I could not find my own – but not this time. I am indebted to my regional West Midlands group of High Sheriffs, and other High Sheriffs I had met during nomination. All in the same boat, we were the only people who really understood the position of a newly declared High Sheriff in lockdown. How were we going to fulfil our duties? On Zoom and Teams we shared ideas which inspired and supported each other, and I treasure the friendships I have made. I recalled a speaker at The High Sheriff Association’s summer conference at Burghley a few years back who said, “Remember why you have been nominated and put your experience and expertise into your role”. It was a good thought to remember on days when one doubted oneself.

  • TWICE a CITIZEN Celebrating a Century of Service by the Territorial Army in London
    TWICE A CITIZEN Celebrating a century of service by the Territorial Army in London www.TA100.co.uk The Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association for Greater London Twice a Citizen “Every Territorial is twice a citizen, once when he does his ordinary job and the second time when he dons his uniform and plays his part in defence.” This booklet has been produced as a souvenir of the celebrations for the Centenary of the Territorial Field Marshal William Joseph Slim, Army in London. It should be remembered that at the time of the formation of the Rifle Volunteers 1st Viscount Slim, KG, GCB, GCMG, GCVO, GBE, DSO, MC in 1859, there was no County of London, only the City. Surrey and Kent extended to the south bank of the Thames, Middlesex lay on the north bank and Essex bordered the City on the east. Consequently, units raised in what later became the County of London bore their old county names. Readers will learn that Londoners have much to be proud of in their long history of volunteer service to the nation in its hours of need. From the Boer War in South Africa and two World Wars to the various conflicts in more recent times in The Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, London Volunteers and Territorials have stood together and fought alongside their Regular comrades. Some have won Britain’s highest award for valour - the Victoria Cross - and countless others have won gallantry awards and many have made the ultimate sacrifice in serving their country. This booklet may be recognised as a tribute to all London Territorials who have served in the past, to those who are currently serving and to those who will no doubt serve in the years to come.

The Lord Lieutenant is thus the chief executive authority in that county, through whom the policy decisions of the central government would be directed. Conversely he would represent the considerations of the county at Court and to the government. Because of these exalted duties the honour was usually given to the principal aristocratic landowner in the county. Deputy lieutenants would be appointed to carry out the directions given by him. The office also had the power to recommend, and so thus constitute, the Commission of the Peace, the body of justices of the peace or magistrates who supervised the legal and administrative systems of the county though the medium of their Quarter Sessions court. The Lord Lieutenant also had responsibility for local defence and accordingly controlled the county militia forces. This aspect of his work is dealt with in more detail in the second introduction. The collection catalogued below contains some of the working papers, mainly correspondence, of four successive Lord Lieutenants of Caernarvonshire and one future Lord Lieutenant as a Vice Lieutenant.

The current High Sheriff of Gwent is the charming and dedicated Dame Claire Clancy, who is more likely to offer you a cup of tea and a biscuit than have you hung, drawn and quartered for poaching on royal land. Dame Claire, a former chief executive and clerk to the National Assembly for Wales, a post she held for 10 years and described as “The best job ever. I loved it”, officially became the new High Sheriff of Gwent at the end of March. She was nominated by a former High Sheriff, Mr Andrew Tuggey, who is currently the chairman of the Gwent High Sheriffs’ Community Fund Panel, with the suggestion catching Dame Claire unawares, but it was an invitation she felt she couldn’t turn down. “It was a complete surprise,” said Dame Claire. “I was due to retire from the Assembly and I had been keen not to take anything on as I was very tired, but it’s one of these things you don’t say no to.
