The problems of partnership working were a serious issue as the Local Strategic Partnerships developed in the early 2000s. A key issue was the relationship with between community and voluntary sector organisations and local authorities. This led to the Local Government Association and sector umbrella organisations preparing guidance, with a follow-up report on the lessons learnt, which I was involved in. I still have a PDF of the latter which can be obtained from me.

19 My journey started as a child and teenager as an avaricious reader, influenced by my parents interests, the shows we listened to on the radio, the people I met including those involved in culture and political campaigning, my hobbies, the range of music I listened to, some of my English literature and history teachers and my entry into bookselling. Then three years at Sheffield University studying history was complimented by student politics, bookselling, journalism, and even attempting to write poetry. Then followed working mainly for community and voluntary organisations at local and national level until retirement in 2012, as well as community and political activity in the areas I have lived. My interest in aspects of culture during that time and since has encompassed the histories of local areas like the present day Boroughs of Croydon, Lambeth, Merton and Wandsworth and the North East, trade union and labour movement organisations, friendly societies, co-operatives and other mutuals, freemasons, the Black Atlantic and British Black History, landscaping and parks, pleasure gardens, roller skating and cycling, Paul Robeson, the political and social uses of song and music, and the conflicts over who controls public space. All these have led me into various roles as researcher, speaker, walks leader, writer, sharer of information, advisor and, stints as organiser of the former Wandsworth History Workshop, member of South London Record editorial board, and the Merton Multi-Cultural History Forum, Secretary of Labour Heritage and the Black & Asian Studies Association, co-ordinator of the Lambeth Riverside Festivals in 2005 and 2006, former member of Wandsworth Heritage Partnership, and currently co-ordinator of the Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Croydon Radical History Networks and Croydon authors group, and joint co-ordinator of the Norbury History group. These apparently disparate subjects and activities are linked by the approaches relating to ‘hidden histories’, ‘public history, ‘history from below’ and the relevance of history to socio-economic and political issues today and cultural developments. They are further linked by being subject to my blog writings and my contributions to the former Croydon Citizen, as well as my publishing (as History & Social Action Publications) and continuing bookselling.

21 Ken Worple. Reading by Numbers: Contemporary Publishing and Popular Fiction. Comedia. 1984. pp. 107 & 110) This book examines the economic and cultural dynamics of the popular products of the publishing industry, such as crime, romance, comic and children’s books, and the relationship between poets and song. It includes a useful short discussion on the significance of Penguin Books (pp. 88-89), the relationship between libraries and bookshops including a useful summary of the development of organisations libraries through to public libraries in the 19thC. (pp. 95-106). The chapter Childhood dreams and stories stresses the appeal to adults of children’s books.

25 Horne Tooke was friends with William Tooke of Purley. Horne was a lawyer, a priest, a radical campaigner for radical parliamentary reform, who was blocked from taking his seat after being elected as an MP and was acquitted of treason in 1794. He often stayed at Purley. He adopted Tooke as an extra name at William’s request, and was lent money by him to buy a house on Wimbledon Common. Although he did not as he had expected receive William’s estate, he was helped financially through the will.
