Ever since, Camberwell has been a cradle for medical discovery and innovation, particularly in the area of mental health and well-being.

  • Joseph Grimaldi
    Joseph Grimaldi The most famous and popular of all the clowns in harlequinade and pantomime was Joseph Grimaldi. Despite his Italian name and family origins, he was born in London in 1779, dying in 1837. His style of clowning had its origins in the Italian commedia dell'arte of the sixteenth century, but in the popular Harlequinades of the early nineteenth century he emerged as the founding father of modern day clowns. To this day he is commemorated annually by clowns in their own church, Holy Trinity in Dalston, East London. Joseph Grimaldi was the original 'Clown Joey', the term 'Joey' being used to describe clowns since his day. Of his own name he punned 'I am grim all day - but I make you laugh at night!' Grimaldi became the most popular clown in pantomime, and was responsible for establishing the clown as the main character in the Harlequinade, in place of Harlequin. His career began at the age of three at the Sadler's Wells Theatre. He was later to become the mainstay of the Drury Lane Theatre before settling in at Covent Garden in 1806. His three year contract paid him one pound a week, rising to two pounds the following year, and finally three pounds a week. His debut at Covent Garden was in 'Harlequin and Mother Goose; or the Golden Egg' in 1806. Grimaldi himself had little faith in the piece, and undoubtedly it was hastily put together on a sparsely decorated stage. However, the production ran for 92 nights, and took over £20,000. The lack of great theatrical scenes allowed Grimaldi to project himself to the fore 'he shone with unimpeded brilliance' once critic wrote.

  • The Best According To
    Books | The best according to... http://books.guardian.co.uk/print/0,,329724792­99819,00.html The best according to... Interviews by Stephen Moss Friday February 23, 2007 Guardian Andrew Motion Poet laureate Choosing the greatest living writer is a harmless parlour game, but it might prove more than that if it provokes people into reading whoever gets the call. What makes a great writer? Philosophical depth, quality of writing, range, ability to move between registers, and the power to influence other writers and the age in which we live. Amis is a wonderful writer and incredibly influential. Whatever people feel about his work, they must surely be impressed by its ambition and concentration. But in terms of calling him a "great" writer, let's look again in 20 years. It would be invidious for me to choose one name, but Harold Pinter, VS Naipaul, Doris Lessing, Michael Longley, John Berger and Tom Stoppard would all be in the frame. AS Byatt Novelist Greatness lies in either (or both) saying something that nobody has said before, or saying it in a way that no one has said it. You need to be able to do something with the English language that no one else does. A great writer tells you something that appears to you to be new, but then you realise that you always knew it. Great writing should make you rethink the world, not reflect current reality. Amis writes wonderful sentences, but he writes too many wonderful sentences one after another. I met a taxi driver the other day who thought that.

  • But from the Deck of the SS Cairnrona, Charles Chaplin Couldn't Spot Much Land
    More than a day had gone by since the passengers had heard the cry of "Land Ho!," but from the deck of the SS Cairnrona, Charles Chaplin couldn't spot much land. Newfoundland was shrouded in thick fog. The gray rock formations that now and then jutted into view suggested a sparsely inhabited landscape, and the Canadian mainland, which came in sight some hours later, looked largely deserted. When the fog lifted, he saw only Québec's endless salt marshes stretching out ahead. Was this the New World, about which other performers in Fred Karno's vaudeville company had told such jaw-dropping stories? For months, Chaplin had hoped that the "guv'nor" of the English music hall would bring him along on the American tour, but now that he'd reached the last stage of the journey, he had to admit it was not as he'd imagined. Chaplin's thoughts strayed to Hetty Kelly, the girl with whom he'd spent a romantic afternoon in 1908. She had been on his mind ever since. He'd run into her by chance in London—how long ago was that? A few weeks, a month? They hadn't had much time. The next day she was leaving for France, she told him, to stay with her sister, who was married to an American multimillionaire. "Now tell me something about yourself," Hetty hastened to ask, embarrassed by Chaplin's disappointed look. "There's very little to tell," he replied. "I'm still doing the same old grind, trying to be funny.

  • Nothing Is Impossible
    Nothing is Impossible. Autobiography of William Hamilton Robertson (Known as Wullie, Scottie, Ginger, Sparks and Bill) Ballenbreich by Avonbridge, Falkirk Me my mum and Fred Explanation about Fred KARNO who I refer to in this book. Frederick John Westcott (26 March 1866 – 18 September 1941), best known by his stage name Fred Karno, was a theatre impresario of the British music hall. Karno is credited with inventing the custard-pie-in –the-face gag. During the 1890s, in order to circumvent stage censorship, Karno developed a form of sketch comedy without dialogue. Cheeky authority defying playlets such as “Jail Birds” (1896) in which prisoners play tricks on warders and “Early Birds” (1903) where a small man defeats a large ruffian in London’s East End can be seen as precursors of movie silent comedy. In fact, among the young comedians who worked for him were Charlie Chaplin and Arthur Jefferson, who later adopted the name of Stan Laurel. These were part of what was known as “Fred Karno’s Army”, a phrase still occasionally used in the U.K. to refer to a chaotic group or organisation. The phrase was also adopted by British solders into a trench song in the First World War, as a parody of, or rather to the tune of, the hymn “The Church’s One Foundation”. In the Second World War it was adapted as the anthem of “The Guinea Pig Club”, the first line becoming ”We are McIndoe’s Army”. The men, having their burnt faces etc. rebuilt, by the Famous Plastic Surgeon Mr.

  • THE VALUE of SMALL GRANTS a Review by Peter Minet Trust and United St Saviour’S Charity March 2018 INTRODUCTION
    THE VALUE OF SMALL GRANTS A review by Peter Minet Trust and United St Saviour’s Charity March 2018 INTRODUCTION United St Saviour’s Charity (UStSC) and Peter Minet Trust (Peter Minet) have been awarding small grants in South London for many years. In 2017 they joined forces to commission Rocket Science to review their grants programmes to better understand the impact that they make and to help the two organisations think about how to develop them for the future. Peter Minet supports organisations in Lambeth and Southwark with grants of up to £5,000. UStSC only works in Southwark and has two grants programmes; a ‘Community Investment’ programme’ of over £5,000 for larger strategic projects and a ‘Community Engagement’ programme of small grants. Only the latter was the subject of this review which looked back at the past three years of grant-making. Measuring the impact of small grants is inherently challenging and it was never the intention to produce a full-blown evaluation. However, both organisations set out to understand whether relatively small grants were of value to the groups and charities they fund. This document summarises the main findings of the review. In many ways it is a celebration of the two programmes and the difference that they make. 2 INVESTMENT OVER THREE YEARS COMBINED United St Saviour’s Charity 321 206 GRANTS AWARDED GRANTS £440,366 INVESTED 149 DIFFERENT ORGANISATIONS FUNDED £853,873 TOTAL INVESTMENT Peter Minet Trust 115 GRANTS AWARDED 243 £413,507 INVESTED DIFFERENT ORGANISATIONS 94 DIFFERENT ORGANISATIONS FUNDED
