  • Hammersmith Bridge: Proposed Temporary Walking and Cycling Bridge We’D Like Your Views on Plans for a Temporary Walking and Cycling Bridge Over the River
    Hammersmith Bridge: proposed temporary walking and cycling bridge We’d like your views on plans for a temporary walking and cycling bridge over the river. Background The existing Grade II Listed Hammersmith Bridge requires extensive repairs to protect it for the future. The bridge is currently closed to all motorised vehicles and people are choosing to walk and cycle across it. To do the repairs to the bridge quickly and safely it is likely to have to be fully closed. To maintain this link across the river during the repairs Hammersmith & Fulham Council have asked us to consider installing a temporary walking and cycling bridge. The proposal The installation of a temporary prefabricated, 7 metre wide steel bridge alongside, and at a similar height to, the existing bridge. The proposed bridge would be: • Step-free with a 5.5 metre wide carriageway. • Accessed by shallow ramps from Queen Caroline Street from the north and from close to the junction of Castelnau and Riverview Gardens from the south. • Supported by two piers, each comprising four piles, located in the river.

Chapter 7 Heritage - Neglect & Destruction February 2018 The “Lillie Enclave” Fulham Within a quarter mile radius of Lillie Bridge, by West Brompton station is A microcosm of the Industrial Revolution - A part of London’s forgotten heritage The enclave runs from Lillie Bridge along Lillie Road to North End Road and includes Empress (formerly Richmond) Place to the north and Seagrave Road, SW6 to the south. The roads were named by the Fulham Board of Works in 1867 Between the Grade 1 Listed Brompton Cemetery in RBKC and its Conservation area in Earl’s Court and the Grade 2 Listed Hermitage Cottages in H&F lies an astonishing industrial and vernacular area of heritage that English Heritage deems ripe for obliteration.

  • Victoria Embankment Foreshore Hoarding Commission
    Victoria Embankment Foreshore Hoarding Commission 1 Introduction ‘The Thames Wunderkammer: Tales from Victoria Embankment in Two Parts’, 2017, by Simon Roberts, commissioned by Tideway This is a temporary commission located on the Thames Tideway Tunnel construction site hoardings at Victoria Embankment, 2017-19. Responding to the rich heritage of the Victoria Embankment, Simon Roberts has created a metaphorical ‘cabinet of curiosities’ along two 25- metre foreshore hoardings. Roberts describes his approach as an ‘aesthetic excavation of the area’, creating an artwork that reflects the literal and metaphorical layering of the landscape, in which objects from the past and present are juxtaposed to evoke new meanings. Monumental statues are placed alongside items that are more ordinary; diverse elements, both man-made and natural, co-exist in new ways. All these components symbolise the landscape’s complex history, culture, geology, and development.

Despite our excellent friend Bro. Hubert's complimentary estimate of English Masonic Literature, we feel hound honestly to admit that there is a " little " room for an improved taste and more extensive patronage ! But yet Ave do not i Avish to seem to write in a spirit of complaint or fault, especially at the conclu- sion of our Fifth Volume !

    Revista de Estudios Extremeños, 2016, Tomo LXXII, Número II, pp. 1091-1118 1091 O corneteiro de Badajoz JACINTO J. MARABEL MATOS Doctor en Derecho Comisión Jurídica de Extremadura [email protected] RESUMEN: La presencia del ejército portugués en Extremadura, durante la mayor parte de los combates que se libraron en la Guerra de la Independencia, fue constante. Sin embargo, los escasos estudios dedicados a recoger esta partici- pación suelen estar basados en fuentes interpuestas, fundamentalmente británi- cas, y por lo tanto incompletas. Por ello, en ocasiones resulta complicado delimitar los hechos históricos de los meramente fabulados, como ocurrió en el caso del corneta del batallón de cazadores portugueses nº 7, en el asalto de Badajoz de 1812. En este trabajo tratamos de mostrar las posturas enfrentadas en torno a esta particular historia de la que, aún hoy, es difícil asegurar su veracidad. PALABRAS CLAVE:Sitio de Badajoz; Ejército Portugués; Corneteiro. ABSTRACT The presence of the Portuguese army in Extremadura, during most of the battles that were fought in the Peninsular War, was constant. However, few studies dedicated to collecting this participation are often based on filed, mainly british sources, and therefore incomplete. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to delineate the historical facts of the fabled merely, as in the case of portuguese bugle batalhão caçadores nº 7, in the assault of Badajoz in 1812. In this work we show opposing positions around this particular story that even today is difficult to ensure its accuracy. KEYWORDS: : Siege of Badajoz; Portuguese Army; Corneteiro.
