  • Servants' Passage
    SERVANTS’ PASSAGE: Cultural identity in the architecture of service in British and American country houses 1740-1890 2 Volumes Volume 1 of 2 Aimée L Keithan PhD University of York Archaeology March 2020 Abstract Country house domestic service is a ubiquitous phenomenon in eighteenth and nineteenth century Britain and America. Whilst shared architectural and social traditions between the two countries are widely accepted, distinctive cultural identity in servant architecture remains unexplored. This thesis proposes that previously unacknowledged cultural differences between British and American domestic service can be used to rewrite narratives and re-evaluate the significance of servant spaces. It uses the service architecture itself as primary source material, relying on buildings archaeology methodologies to read the physical structures in order to determine phasing. Archival sources are mined for evidence of individuals and household structure, which is then mapped onto the architecture, putting people into their spaces over time. Spatial analysis techniques are employed to reveal a more complex service story, in both British and American houses and within Anglo-American relations. Diverse spatial relationships, building types and circulation channels highlight formerly unrecognised service system variances stemming from unique cultural experiences in areas like race, gender and class. Acknowledging the more nuanced relationship between British and American domestic service restores the cultural identity of country house servants whose lives were not only shaped by, but who themselves helped shape the architecture they inhabited. Additionally, challenging accepted narratives by re-evaluating domestic service stories provides a solid foundation for a more inclusive country house heritage in both nations. This provides new factors on which to value modern use of servant spaces in historic house museums, expanding understanding of their relevance to modern society.

  • For Our July/August 2018 Newsletter
    Brighton Area Buswatch Representing local bus users A branch of Bus Users UK Buswatch News – July/August 2018 Our greener buses can ease congestion Brighton & Hove Buses has launched an advertising campaign aimed at drawing attention to the growing problem of congestion on our roads. The adverts show spaces filled by cars and vans that spell out the words Full, Jam and Space with a strapline ‘Fill the bus, clear the road’. A full double decker bus can take 75 cars off the road, easing congestion and speeding up journeys for everyone. Congestion leads to high emissions which affects people’s health. Last month, Brighton & Hove City Council has approved plans to introduce an Ultra- Low Emission zone by 2024. This will only apply to buses, between Palmeira Square and Old Steine, so covering Western Road, Churchill Square and North Street. The Council noted that bus companies expected to achieve the Euro V standard for bus emissions in 2019, ahead of the initial 2020 deadline and had been very co-operative about the new Ultra Low Emission Zone. This reQuires buses to meet tougher Euro VI standards which represent a 95% improvement for NOx emissions compared with Euro V, as tested in real world driving conditions. People often claim buses have dirty exhausts and blame them for high pollution levels. In fact, our local buses are now some of the cleanest, least polluting vehicles on the roads. September timetable changes Brighton & Hove Buses has announced details of changes to bus timetables from Sunday 16 September. The good news is that there are a few more buses on some routes.

This brief assists that process, focusing on the Arlington site. It should be read in conjunction with a Planning Brief for the Dreamland Site approved by Council in February 2008. This brief has been prepared at the request of the Margate Renewal Board (25th April 2008), Thanet District Council’s Cabinet, (12 December 2007) and Council (21st February 2008). The brief establishes development principles applicable to the Arlington site located to the south of Margate Sands and Marine Terrace, to the east of All Saints Avenue. The site comprises a major landmark within the town and Margate seafront whose refurbishment and redevelopment form a key element of regeneration aspirations for Margate seafront.
