Contact email: [email protected] ___________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Henry Stopes was a prominent Victorian brewery architect and engineer with a lifelong passion for flints and fossils, and an active participant in the Eolithic debate of the late 19th century. He amassed possibly the largest ever private collection of lithic artefacts and, foreshadowing today’s conflicts between development and heritage, endeavoured to mitigate the impact of building near the key Swanscombe site of Dierden’s Pit by prior excavation. Drawing from a substantial archive of original material kindly made available by his grandson Harry Stopes-Roe, this paper introduces Stopes the man, and revisits aspects of his archaeological contribution, sadly curtailed by his early death.

This brief Henry Stopes is a minor, and to most, paper attempts to present a more rounded unknown figure in the canon of 19th century picture of Stopes the man, to review his antiquarians whose activities provided the Eolithic advocacy within the wider context foundations of today‘s Palaeolithic of his other anthropological endeavours, and archaeology. He made no seminal to consider his work not just as of historical discoveries, or at least none published interest, but for its enduring legacy. sufficiently for posterity to recognize, although he was one of the first to collect at Barnfield Pit, Swanscombe. He carried out FAMILY BACKGROUND AND no groundbreaking methodological work PROFESSIONAL LIFE acclaimed in the present day. And, worst of all, he backed the wrong horse in devoting Henry Stopes was born in Colchester, 17th the majority of his anthropological energies February 1852, youngest child of to passionate pursuit and promotion of Christopher and Maria Stopes, into an Tertiary Man and the ―Eolithic‖ cause. And affluent, professional background. yet, there is much to be gained from Christopher Stopes (a Quaker elder, born in revisiting Stopes‘ anthropological Britwell, south Oxfordshire, and from a long contribution, inevitably diminished by his line of predominantly clergy stretching back early death, which, as revealed below, to Bishop Aylmer of Tudor times) had spent 65 Great Prehistorians: 150 Years of Palaeolithic Research, 1859–2009 (Lithics 30) time in America, but returned to Colchester was also elected to the Royal Historical and prospered there, having established a Society, and thereafter he continued to brewery in 1828.

Henry was privately educated at two Colchester schools, firstly Stockwell House Stopes was a regular attendee of the annual until the age of 12–13, and subsequently late summer meeting of the British Linton House Academy, where he was a Association for the Advancement of Science very capable all-round pupil, excelling (henceforth, the British Association). He met particularly in mathematics, and developing his wife Charlotte (née Carmichael, daughter an interest in fossils and archaeological of a well-known Edinburgh painter) at the remains that would continue throughout his Plymouth meeting of 1877, and they were life. married in her home town of Edinburgh in June 1879.

Henry was family dog Daisy, but does not seem, despite evidently highly successful in this the fact of his daughters‘ birth, to have had partnership, and furthermore developed a an especially warm relationship with his complete understanding of every aspect of wife. This has been extensively dissected by the brewery process, and of the engineering others, particularly Hall (1977), since this and structural technicalities underpinning the relationship was instrumental in the equipment used and the brewery premises psychological and emotional development of themselves.

  • History from Old Site
    I n the middle of the 19th century, following the introduction of competency exams in 1851, the need for pre-sea training was recognised for potential officers in the Royal and Merchant Navy. This led to a group of London ship owners founding the 'Thames Nautical Training College' in 1862. The Admiralty was approached for the loan of a suitable ship and was allocated the 'two-decker' HMS 'Worcester', a sister ship of the 'Trincomalee' (former 'Foudroyant') now restored and preserved at Hartlepool. At the time, the Royal Navy was starting to replace their fleet of 'wooden walls' with iron clad vessels. They had a vast surplus of such vessels and the 1473 ton 50 gun 'Worcester' was then laid up in the Nore. She had been built in Deptford Yard in 1843 and nearly £1,000 was spent on her conversion to a training ship prior to her being moved to her first base in Blackwall Reach. Within a year she was moved to Erith, thence in 1869 to Southend before finally moving in 1871 to what became a base forever associated with the 'Worcester' - the village of Greenhithe on the Kent shore and where successive ships remained until 1978. I ngress Abbey. Over fifty years passed before a permanent shore base was established in 1920, with the purchase of the Ingress Abbey estate which provided space for playing fields, offices, a sanatorium, laundry and a swimming pool. Starting with just 18 cadets, the numbers grew rapidly and there was soon a waiting list for entry. Official recognition soon followed - the Board of Trade allowed two years satisfactory 'Worcester' training to count in part towards a watchkeeping certificate, and in 1867 Queen Victoria instituted a Gold Medal for presentation annually.

    THE LONDON RESORT PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION REPORT Appendix 7.2 Detailed Baseline INTRODUCTION Chapter 7: Land use and socio-economics reports the existing socio-economic and employment conditions relevant to the study areas of the London Resort, and assesses the impact of the London Resort upon those baseline conditions. However, it is important to outline the baseline conditions in more detail than Chapter 7: Land use and socio-economics. This appendix reviews the baseline conditions at a more detailed geography and presents additional metrics and industry specific data. This appendix follows the same structure as the baseline presented in the chapter, where data relevant to each effect is listed in order of the effects assessed. Chapter 7: Land use and socio-economics concludes on the sensitivity of each receptor relevant to each effect, that sensitivity is not repeated in this appendix. The study areas are consistent with that presented in the main chapter, as shown in Table 7.2.1 below. Notably, the listed study area abbreviations are used throughout the appendix. Study areas considered in the London Resort Geographical Definition Rationale Study Area The DCO Order Limits.

  • Notes from the Unpublished Papers of Dorothy Stroud
    A list of landscapes that have been attributed to ‘Capability’ Brown This list, now in its fifth edition(16th December, 2016), has been compiled by John Phibbs from the work of others, primarily Dorothy Stroud, but also David Brown, Karen Lynch, Nick Owen, Susanne Seymour, Roger Turner, Peter Willis, and, in particular, my collaborator, Steffie Shields, who has checked and added to its drafts. The lists have also been shown to and commented on by the County Gardens Trusts. Great credit is due to all parties for their help. The list of attributions to Brown has elicited a good deal of correspondence for which I am very grateful, and among many others, thanks are due to Don Josey, Surrey Gardens Trust; Terence Reeves-Smyth and Patrick Bowe from Ireland; S.V.Gregory, Staffordshire Gardens Trust; Joanna Matthews, Oxfordshire Gardens Trust; Christine Hodgetts, Warwickshire Gardens Trust; the Dorset Gardens Trust; Kate Harwood, Hertfordshire Gardens Trust; Val Bott, Susan Darling and Barbara Deason, London Parks & Gardens Trust; Janice Bennetts, Wendy Bishop, Michael Cousins, Dr Patrick Eyres, Jane Furze, Tony Matthews, Jenifer White and Min Wood. Many correspondents have written with material about what Brown might have done at various places. I have to emphasise that the attributions list attempts to include all the places where he might have offered advice. It asks neither whether that advice was acted on, nor whether he was paid. The determination of what might have been done at any of these places is a distinct process and will always be open to question. The aim of this list is to assess the likelihood of each and all of the attributions that have been made to Brown.
