  • Eadweard Muybridge 1 Eadweard Muybridge
    Eadweard Muybridge 1 Eadweard Muybridge Eadweard Muybridge Born Edward James Muggeridge9 April 1830Kingston upon Thames, England Died 8 May 1904 (aged 74)Kingston upon Thames, England Resting place Woking, Surrey, England Nationality [1] British Ethnicity English Occupation Photographer Eadweard J. Muybridge ( /ˌɛdwərdˈmaɪbrɪdʒ/; 9 April 1830 – 8 May 1904) was an English photographer who spent much of his life in the United States. He is known for his pioneering work on animal locomotion which used multiple cameras to capture motion, and his zoopraxiscope, a device for projecting motion pictures that pre-dated the flexible perforated film strip.[2] Names Born Edward James Muggeridge, he changed his name several times early in his US career. First he changed his forenames to the Spanish equivalent Eduardo Santiago, perhaps because of the Spanish influence on Californian place names. His surname appears at times as Muggridge and Muygridge (possibly due to misspellings), and Muybridge from the 1860s. In the 1870s he changed his first name again to Eadweard, to match the spelling of King Edward shown on the plinth of the Kingston coronation stone, which was re-erected in Kingston in 1850. His name remained Eadweard Muybridge for the rest of his career.[3] However, his gravestone bears a further variant, Eadweard Maybridge. He used the pseudonym Helios (Greek god of the sun) on many of his photographs, and also as the name of his studio and his son's middle name.[4] Eadweard Muybridge 2 Early life and career He was born at Kingston-on-Thames, England on April 9, 1830. He emigrated to the US, arriving in San Francisco in 1855, where he started a career as a publisher's agent and bookseller.

The Portsmouth Road follows the river the length of the reach on the Surrey side. This is one of the only sections of the upstream London Thames where a road has been built alongside the river.

  • History Policy
    History Policy NB: Throughout this document Latchmere Academy Trust may be abbreviated to “LAT” Reasons for studying History “If you would understand anything, observe its beginning and its development.” Aristotle “Whoever wishes to foresee the future must consult the past; for human events ever resemble those of preceding times. This arises from the fact that they are produced by men and women who ever have been, and ever shall be, animated by the same passions, and thus they necessarily have the same results.” Machiavelli In teaching history, we encourage pupils to understand more about themselves as individuals and as members of society. They learn to find evidence, weigh it up and reach their own conclusions. Our children enjoy a hands-on approach to history, using a range of artefacts and other information sources to investigate the past. Our focus for enquiry spans from investigating our own lives and past in the Foundation Stage to World War II in Year Six. In all our historical studies, we aim to bring to life characters from the past in order to motivate pupils and stimulate their imagination. Aims Our principal aim in the study of history is to stimulate pupils’ curiosity and interest in both the past and the present and to explore the relationship between them. We aim to help pupils to: . Build up an understanding of themselves and their place in society . Develop an interest in the past and an appreciation of human achievements and aspirations . Develop knowledge of chronology so they can organise their understanding of the past . Understand the values of their society and others .
