  • National Dimensions
    ONS NATIONAL DIM NATIONAL DIMENNATIONAL DIMENSIONS NAL DIMENSIONS DIMENSIONS NATIO This report was researched and written by AEA Consulting: Magnus von Wistinghausen Keith Morgan Katharine Housden This report sets out the collaborative work undertaken by the UK’s nationally funded museums, libraries and archives with other organisations across the UK, and assesses their impact on cultural provision across the nation. It focuses on the activities in recent years of members of the National Museum Directors’ Conference (NMDC), and is largely based on discussions with these institutions and selected partner organisations, as well as on a series of discussion days hosted by the NMDC in different regional centres in July 2003. It does not make specific reference to collaborative work between NMDC organisations themselves, and focuses on activities and initiatives that have taken place in the last few years. For the sake of simplicity the term ‘national museum’ is used throughout the report to describe all NMDC member organisations, notwithstanding the fact that these also include libraries and archives. In this report the term ‘national’ is used to denote institutions established by Act of Parliament as custodians of public collections that belong to the nation. It is acknowledged that the NMDC does not include all museums and other collecting institutions which carry the term ‘national’ as part of their name. Specific reference to their activities is not contained in this report. Published in the United Kingdom by the National Museum Directors'

  • The Custom House
    THE CUSTOM HOUSE The London Custom House is a forgotten treasure, on a prime site on the Thames with glorious views of the river and Tower Bridge. The question now before the City Corporation is whether it should become a luxury hotel with limited public access or whether it should have a more public use, especially the magnificent 180 foot Long Room. The Custom House is zoned for office use and permission for a hotel requires a change of use which the City may be hesitant to give. Circumstances have changed since the Custom House was sold as part of a £370 million job lot of HMRC properties around the UK to an offshore company in Bermuda – a sale that caused considerable merriment among HM customs staff in view of the tax avoidance issues it raised. SAVE Britain’s Heritage has therefore worked with the architect John Burrell to show how this monumental public building, once thronged with people, can have a more public use again. SAVE invites public debate on the future of the Custom House. Re-connecting The City to the River Thames The Custom House is less than 200 metres from Leadenhall Market and the Lloyds Building and the Gherkin just beyond where high-rise buildings crowd out the sky. Who among the tens of thousands of City workers emerging from their offices in search of air and light make the short journey to the river? For decades it has been made virtually impossible by the traffic fumed canyon that is Lower Thames Street. Yet recently for several weeks we have seen a London free of traffic where people can move on foot or bike without being overwhelmed by noxious fumes.

  • Policing the Bridges Appendix 1.Pdf
    Appendix One NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED Policing the Bridges and allocation of costs to the Bridge House Estates OPINION Introduction 1. This Opinion considers the nature and extent of the City's obligations as to the policing of the City's bridges and the extent to which those costs may be attributed to the Bridge House Estates. It focuses on general policing responsibilities rather than any specific project, although the issue has recently received renewed attention as the result of a project to install river cameras at the bridges. Issues concerning the quantum of any contribution and a Trustee‟s general duty to act in the best interests of Trust are not dealt with in this Opinion. 2. In order to provide context and to inform interpretation, some historical constitutional background is included. This has however been confined to material which assists in deciding the extent of the obligations and sources of funding rather than providing a broader narrative. After a short account of the history of the „Watch‟, each bridge is considered in turn, concluding, in each case, with an assessment of the position under current legislation. Establishment of Watches and the Bridges 3. In what appears to be a remarkably coordinated national move, the Statute of Winchester 1285 (13 Edw. I), commanded that watch be kept in all cities and towns and that two Constables be chosen in every "Hundred" or "Franchise"; specific to the City, the Statuta Civitatis London, also passed in 1285, regularised watch arrangements so that the gates of London would be shut every night and that the City‟s twenty-four Wards, would each have six watchmen controlled by an Alderman.

It has constantly evolved and London Dock represents another proud chapter in its long and illustrious history.

By the late 18th Century, Wapping made London one of the busiest ports in the world. The building of The London Docks transformed a small riverside village into one of the liveliest districts in the Capital. Wapping was a gateway to the British Empire, a commercial centre and a mix of cultural influences. Celebrated figures made their home here, like explorer and captain of the Endeavour, James Cook. A resident of Wapping in the 1750s, he later became the first European to master the east coast of Australia. Wapping was also home to artists and writers. Charles Dickens drew inspiration from the area during visits to his godfather in nearby Limehouse. Much of what he saw of life in the docks and at the riverside became famous scenes in his books like Oliver Twist and Great Expectations.
