  • Walworth Town Hall Hoarding
    Walworth Town Hall hoarding Drawing out Walworth by Kerry Lemon Are you wondering why there is a giraffe in the middle of Walworth Square? You have come to the right place to find out. The images on the Walworth Town Hall hoarding celebrate some of the plants, animals and architecture that have special meaning within the Walworth area. You can find a brief explanation below of everything that is represented and discover something new and interesting about Walworth. The PLANTS In 1086 the Domesday book described the village life in Waleorde (Walworth) with corn growing and cows grazing. The peaches, apples and grapes grew locally in orchards and market gardens and reference the history of the area 'feeding London' from Roman times into the 1700s. They also link to the produce sold on East Street Market stalls today. Tulips were grown by James Maddock (1718-1786) in Walworth and at one time he had more than 800 different varieties in his fields. The poppy is a symbol of remembrance and hope and relates to those that signed up to join the armed forces during WW1 at the Walworth Town Hall. Echinacea is a reference to London’s oldest herbalist, Baldwin’s of Walworth Road, which has been in business since 1844. The dahlias date from 1797 when botanist Samuel Curtis issued the ‘Beauties of Flora’ a series of two floral engravings including two plates of dahlias from his own collection grown in Walworth. The ANIMALS, birds and insects An elephant, giraffe and lion were part of the attractions at the historical Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens, which rivalled the Regent’s Park Zoo.

  • Railways List
    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

  • Harriet Harman MP
    Harriet Harman MP Are parents in Camberwell & Peckham getting the choice of secondary school they want for their child? December 2016 Research by the Office of Harriet Harman MP House of Commons London SW1A 0AA [email protected] @HarrietHarman Contents 3. Introduction 5. First preference secondary school offers in England by local authority 2015 - 2016 6. First preference applications for secondary schools serving parents in Camberwell & Peckham 7. Pupils achieving five or more A*- C grades at GCSE (including Maths and English) by school 8. Sacred Heart 9. The Charter School 10. Ark All Saints Academy 11. Ark Walworth Academy 12. Harris Girls Academy East Dulwich 13. Harris Boys Academy East Dulwich 14. St. Thomas the Apostle 15. Harris Academy Peckham 17. Analysis 19. Appendix: Published Admission Numbers 2006-16 2 Introduction In 2016 only 59% of parents in Southwark got their first preference secondary school, compared to the national average of 84.1%. That is the sixth lowest of all the local authorities in the country and means 1,157 children in Southwark were left without their first choice school. In comparison 98.7% of parents in Northumberland got their first preference1. Two schools that serve children in my constituency were oversubscribed for first preferences by Southwark residents i.e. had more first preference applications than places available, these schools were Sacred Heart and The Charter School. Six schools that serve children in my constituency were undersubscribed for first preferences i.e. had more places available than parents who made the school their first choice. These schools were Ark All Saints Academy, Ark Walworth Academy, Harris Girls Academy East Dulwich, Harris Boys Academy East Dulwich, St Thomas the Apostle and Harris Academy Peckham.

  • North Walworth Green News April/May 2018
    Peter Guy Lina Baffoe Mannes- Usma Abbott Commercial “opportunity” pitched to investors and developers Historic Walworth Town Hall, and Newington Library next door which houses the Cuming Museum, suffered significant damage in a fire in 2013. Southwark Council paused plans for redevelopment of the buildings after estimated costs rose. Evidently there was no adequate fire insurance policy in place despite both these Edwardian buildings being Grade 2 listed. Labour-run Southwark Council has published a glossy website walworthtownhall.com proclaiming an “opportunity” for “investors, developers, businesses, organisations or other consortia” to express interest in “play[ing] their part in reviving this historic gem”. The council proclaims willingness to consider “ancillary and complementary commercial uses” alongside arts and culture uses retaining “some genuine public access to... parts of the site”. Southwark Council will retain the freehold but the leasehold may run for up to 250 years. The community is concerned that with such a long lease, a community asset is in effect being sold off to a private enterprise. The council has already sold off Southwark's other town halls to private developers. Bermondsey Town Hall has had 41 luxury flats carved out of it, each selling for over £1m, while the Peckham Town Hall complex now features 149 student flats. Both contain zero affordable housing. In July 2017, the politically independent Walworth Society surveyed 265 local people about the plans for Walworth Town Hall. The majority agreed that Walworth needs these buildings to remain in public use, even if it takes a long time to raise the money. Respondents also want a library and a heritage hub included.

  • Sheppey Tech Report.P65
    Green Cluster Studies Isle of Sheppey Technical Report October 2008 Executive Summary The Green Cluster studies set out an ambitious vision for planning the Green Grid public realm and provide an Action Plan to support its delivery across north Kent. The Isle of Sheppey Cluster Study is the eighth to be completed. Each one focuses on areas of intensive regeneration and change where there are superb opportunities to create strategically sited new green infrastructures that will raise expectations, add value to existing investment and create high quality green infrastructure for future development. The Cluster Studies have adopted a partnership approach to co-ordinate discussions amongst key stakeholders in each cluster. Many are engaged in developing ideas and drawing up plans for individual sites and the Cluster Studies' workshops have provided a valuable opportunity to focus attention on the relationships between projects and the wider landscape setting. The Isle of Sheppey has a distinctive character and culture. Its identity is shaped by separation, a sense of independence and abrupt contact with nature. People and activity are concentrated at the historic ports, towns and holiday villages along the east, north and west coasts, linked by a busy cross-island road and connected to the mainland by the new Sheppey Crossing. Even subtle variations in landform are prominent and the interplay of settlements, hills and marshes suggests that there are a series of islands on Sheppey, each with views out to sea and across the marshes and each with its own heritage, stories and mind-set. Between the hills and stretching across the south of the island, the Elmley Marshes are a tranquil wilderness and a mecca for ornithologists, with internationally important nature reserves; there are no roads, no overhead power lines and (virtually) no people.
