1 No 177 Sep 2010 No 177 Sep 2010 1 www.sihg.org.uk Reigate Heath Windmill - Historic Windmill Renovation Nearly Complete 26 August 2010 A HISTORIC windmill has had a new 30ft tail post craned into position as part of the final stage of its restoration. Reigate Heath windmill, which dates back to 1765, is thought to be the only one in the country which is a consecrated church. In 1880, the roundhouse was converted into a Chapel of Ease to St Mary's. Services are still held in the tiny church during the summer. Over the past three weeks, Reigate & Banstead Borough Council, which owns the mill, has been undertaking a range of restoration works including repairing slats to the Vestry and Crown, while the whole structure has been given two coats of tar to weatherproof it. And, as restoration works draw to a close on the Grade II-listed building, council bosses are promising the mill church will be ready for the Heritage Open Days Weekend on September 9-12, with the rest of the building opening shortly after. Councillor Mike Miller, executive Reigate Heath Windmill - Renovation. member for planning, transport and http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/632932 housing, said: © Copyright Ian Capper (Creative Commons Licence) “The old tail post was showing signs of decay. “The new one, carved from a specially selected Douglas Fir tree, has been made in the same style “and will be fitted in the same way as the old one. “The work is being carried out as part of our remit to maintain our historic buildings. “Once completed, Reigate Heath windmill will be a gleaming beacon on our skyline again.” A 6ft length of the old tail post and the original peg workings will be going to the local Holmesdale Museum in Reigate. The tail post was used by the miller to turn the windmill into the wind and then he would set the sails. The mill has not worked by wind since 1862.

Surrey Industrial History Group Half-term Visit on Thursday 28 October 2010 London Transport Museum in Covent Garden, followed, after lunch, by a visit to the Tower Bridge Exhibition. The London Transport Museum tells the story of the development of the capital’s bus, tram, trolley-bus and underground railway systems, the effect that this had on the lives of Londoners and the growth of suburbia. Tower Bridge, opened in 1894, was one of several designs to provide a new river crossing without impeding ships seeking to sail into the Pool of London. Visitors ascend the North tower by lift to the upper walk-way level where there is a video telling the history of the building of the bridge. As visitors cross the enclosed walk-ways they will find models, drawings and photographs about the bridge as well as panoramic views across London, so bring your cameras. After descending the South tower the visit continues to the plant rooms where the steam engines and hydraulic gear which operated the bascules of the bridge are excellently preserved and presented. Refreshment facilities. There is a café in the London Transport Museum and many places for lunch round Covent Garden. Travel arrangements. The coach will depart from the rear car park of the Leatherhead Leisure Centre promptly at 0900. In your timings please allow for the traffic congestion through Leatherhead at this time. The coach will then pick up passengers from near the public car park by the Sainsbury’s roundabout on the A3100 at Burpham (not Sainsbury’s own car park) before proceeding to London on the A3. After lunch the coach will transport us from Covent Garden to Tower Bridge at a time to be announced. The intention is that we should return to Leatherhead by around 1715. When approaching the Leisure Centre do not park in the first car park on your left but continue past the Centre buildings and park in the farthest section of the rear car park. It is free of charge. Cost. The cost of entry fees, the coach and driver’s gratuity will be £20, reduced to £10 for those who are enrolled on the Leatherhead SIHG Thursday course. Guests will be welcome subject to availability of seating on the coach. Further details from Ken Tythacott - [email protected], Geoff Roles - [email protected], or Robert Bryson [email protected].

Introduction 1. The Culture Network meeting raised a number important issues and concerns that need to be addressed about the implementation of the award of Borough of Culture 2023 status. This is difficult as the two planning meetings that were announced would take place in March and April are not going ahead because of the coronavirus emergency. That does not mean that debate should stop. Many people involved in the Network will have more time to think about it as their events have been cancelled. Debate can take place by email, telephone, Skype, Zoom, etc. Several of the issues and concerns relate to overall aims of being Borough of Culture, as well as practical considerations. 2. There are several tensions and contradictions within the proposals that clearly could not be ironed out at the time the bid was submitted to the Mayor of London.

  • Potential Loss of B1/B2/B8 Commercial Space Due to Proposed 2 Runway. Options at London Gatwick Airport
    Potential Loss of B1/B2/B8 Commercial nd Space Due To Proposed 2 Runway. Options At London Gatwick Airport. 4 201 May Rosemary French Executive Director Gatwick Diamond 46 Basepoint Metcalf Way Crawley West Sussex RH11 7XX BRIEF Gatwick Airport Ltd (GAL) have recently published their ‘Second Runway Option’ consultation document detailing three options for additional runway capacity ahead of the Taylor commission that is due to report its recommendation on runway capacity in the South East in July 2015. Options two and three require similar land take as identified in the copy plan attached to this report. The report identifies in terms of land take for option three some 577 hectares of additional land of which some 34.9 hectares is employment land. What the report does not identify is the quantum of commercial accommodation that would be lost. Stiles Harold Williams have been instructed by The Gatwick Diamond Initiative to provide a report detailing the loss of commercial space (B1/B2 & B8 use) should the proposed second runway at Gatwick airport go-ahead. We have sourced the indicative plans from the consultation pack of the proposed land grab and report our findings as follows. METHODOLOGY Initially we identified buildings and estates located within the proposed boundary of option three utilising plans from the consultation publications. This was then verified and checked with site visits. Once a list of all affected B1/B2 & B8 property had been identified, these were then checked against the VOA Database to source the size of each site. N.B. Area’s were taken from the most recent entry to the VOA database.

  • The Marketing of Corn in the First Half of the Eighteenth Century: North,East Ken(
    ...................... - ..................................... = .................................................................... The Marketing of Corn in the First Half of the Eighteenth Century: North,East Ken( By DENNIS BAKER I HE home market was at least six times as valuable as the overseas market during the first half of the eighteenth century. The ratio could have been T much higher and one contemporary estimate even puts it at 32 to ~. Throughout the early modern period the vast bulk of this traffic concerned agri- cultural produce, for in I75o England was still a predominantly agricultural economy. 2 Marketing, nevertheless, remains one of the most neglected aspects of agri- cultural history? There is a dearth of suitable source material. We know much about the management of crops and livestock in the field, little about their journey beyond the farm gate. A thorough exploration of the various outlets leading from farm to consumer is a rare venture. More frequently we seek shelter in some terminological cul-de-sac like 'commercialized agriculture' or 'farming for the market'. Admittedly, in some regions the market outlets were few or fraught with hazards; such, for instance, was the difficult position of those who farmed the Midland clays, ill-drained and intractable. But others, more fortunately placed, could choose from a wide range of marketing possi- bilities; this held true, for example, over much of the eastern and home counties. The farmers of north-east Kent possessed a number of competitive advan- tages, but none more valuable than proximity to the markets both local and in London. This fertile belt of Kent stretches from Rainham in the west to the eastern extremities of Thanet, a distance of about 35 miles; it averages 8 miles or more in width.
