The thesis examines the evidence for later Iron Age and Romano-British settlement in a landscape block of £. 330 km , incorporating the valley proper and the higher glacial deposits at its margins. The discussion utilises a comprehensive and critical gazetteer of some two hundred and twenty sites and findspots, and seven detailed site-studies present the results of the author's fieldwork or analysis of previously unpublished material assemblages.

  • South Reading Patient Voice Annual Report 2018-19
    South Reading Patient Voice Annual Report 2018-19 2018-19 has been a positive year for South Reading Patient Voice. Highlights have been the steady increase in membership to 42, the use of the Hall at Friends Meetings house for the last 3 meetings, a pair of meetings introducing Reading’s Trauma Aware approach to children’s and social services, and a meeting address by two Primary Care Network Clinical Directors, who, we are pleased to report, left ”feeling energised”. We have benfited much from regular reports by Pat Bunch of Healthwatch Reading news. We are very grateful to Reading Community Learning Centre who have accommodated us for many years and are still most supportive. 1 The External Environment 2018-19 This has been the second full year of Berkshire West CCG and we have seen more integrated working by the four localities and by the three local authorities. During the year a new plan was adopted for the structure and governance of the Berkshire West health and care area. We shall have to see how patient engagement fares in the new environment. At the start of the year the NHS England Long Term Plan (covering roughly 10 years) was published. The unnatural Sustainability and Transformation Partnership area BOB (Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West) became an Accountable Care System and it has been proposed that the constituent CCGs be merged to match - we will put forward a paper opposing this. CCGs have been told to reduce their costs by 20% at a time when innovation is growing with integrated pathways and information sharing across providers advancing.

    Hull History Centre: Papers of Colonel Rupert Alec-Smith and Family of Winestead U DAS Papers of Colonel Rupert Alec-Smith 14th cent.-1983 and Family of Winestead Accession number: 1977/07; 2005/16; 2012/27 Biographical Background: Rupert Alexander Alec-Smith was born at Elloughton, near Kingston upon Hull, in 1913. He was the grandson of Alexander Smith, a founding partner of Horsley Smith and Company, a timber importing firm whose small collection of papers dating from 1864 to 1968 is also held at the Hull University Archives (U DHS; see separate entry). Rupert Alec-Smith's parents were Alexander Alec-Smith and Adelaide Horsley. Rupert Alec-Smith was a man with an abiding interest in local and family history and he spent his life fighting to preserve both. In 1936, the demolition of the Georgian Red Hall in Winestead (originally built by the Hildyard family) left a profound impression on him and he founded the Georgian Society for East Yorkshire in 1937 (papers for Lord Derwent and the society are at U DAS/24/13; see also U DX99). He served with the Green Howards during the war and was in Cyprus and the Middle East making the rank of lieutenant colonel by 1944. On leave during the war he rescued fittings from the Georgian residences of Hull's old High Street as this was almost entirely destroyed by German bombs. After the war the Council showed no desire to restore what was left and Alec-Smith continued to salvage what he could from buildings as they were demolished (The Georgian Society for East Yorkshire).
