Many prominent names of the time are recorded, together with descriplivt' and historical notes. The author conlidently believes thai Hun humble effort will hcilp io clear up many historical doubts, and will tend to prevent this very interesting period of the past from sinking into obscurity. It may also be the means of giving the people of this ancient 'l\)wn a furthir insight into the history of the place and its Token Issuers, together with the pari they played in the currency of that time, so often described as "in the good old days," but which happily have jKissed away and given place to this enlightened age of national progression. Mv thanks are due to several gentlemen who have greatly assisted me during the progress of this work, to Mr. S. H. Hamer, Hon. Sec. Halifax Antiquarian Societv, who has taken a deep interest in the work throughout ; to Mr. W. " J. Davis, Birmingham, Author of the 'I'oken Coinage of Warwickshire,"and "The Nineteenth Century Token Coinage," for loan of books and valuable suggestions; to Mr. Maberley Phillips, F.S.A., Knlicld, Author of " The Token Money of the Bank of Kngland," and " Banks, Bankers and Banking in Xorthumberland, Durham and North Yorkshire," for loan of plaster casts of the Spanish Counter marked Dollars ; to Mr. \V. Moore Binns, Worcester, for photograph of Porcelain Tokens, and to the Worcester Porcelain W^orks for plaster casts of same. I am indebted to Mr. E. Blocksidge, for reproductions of blocks from his book of Notes upon the " Dudley Parish Registers" and for other useful inform- ation ; also to Mr. W. H, Edwards, secretary, Worcester Victoria Institute, for loan of certain specimens from the cabinet of the late Mr. W. A. Cotton of Bromsgrove. The Second Part of this Volume is an account of the early Banks, Bankers , and Bank Notes of Dudley, the subject being so closely connected with the lirst / portion of this book, and having observed that no complete work on the subject has 3^et been published, I have decided to include it in the present volume, hence the delay in publication. I am indebted to the following gentlemen for loan of wills, documents, plates, etc., and for the ready manner in which they responded to my request for inform- ation I tender mv warmest and most grateful acknowledgements : —To Mr. John Amphlett, :M.A., ).P., Clent ; Mr. E.

  • Collegiate Churches, Ten Priories, and Six Nunneries, Whilst the Massive Remains of Fourteen Military Strongholds Are Still More Or Less Evident
    ST.AFFORDSRIR~, Collegiate Churches, ten Priories, and six Nunneries, whilst the massive remains of fourteen military strongholds are still more or less evident. The Benedictines early established themselves at Burton Abbey, in 1002, and at the Priory of Lapley a few years afterwards. 1'hey also had foundations at the Abbey of Calwich, and the Priories ofTutbury, Blythe­ bury, Can well, and Sand well, together with the Nunneries of Farewell and Blackladies. The Augustinian Canons built the Abbeys of Ronton and Roccster, and had besides the Priories of Trentham, Stone, Stafford and St. Thomas at Lichfield. The Cistercian Order boasted of the three Abbeys of Croxden, Abbey Hulton, and Dieu la Cresse and they also . had a monastery at Radmore, in the forest of Cannock. The Cluniac monks never gained a footing in the county, but the remains of Dudley Priory, founded in 1140, just outside the border line still assert their near presence. Of the various orders of Friars, the Grey Friars were repre­ sented at Lichfield and Stafford, the Austin Friars at Stafford only. 1'he Knights Templar had a Preceptory at Keele, and also lands at Stoke. In Parish Churches, however, Staffordshire was not so richly endowed as many other counties, the approximate numbers, at the time of "the Domesday Survey, amounting only to about 28 or 30, though during the later Norman period the number increased at a rapid rate. The following were formerly Collegiate Churches, viz., . ·wol verhampton, Tettenhall, Gnosall, Lichfield, Penkridge, Stafford, &c. Tho mcdimval military remains comprise the Castles of Stafford, Wednesbmy, Chartley, Dudley, Alton, 1'utbury, Eccleshall, Caverswall, Heyleigh, Lichfield, Chesterton, N ~w­ castle, Stourton, and Audley, some of which have absolutely disappeared, whilst others frown formidably even in their ruin.

  • Sedgley Maps, Plans and Documents
    Sedgley Maps, Plans and Documents A selection of historic maps, plans and documents of Sedgley. Maps photographed in Dudley Archives’ Search Room under photo licence. Other content coutesy of Carl Higgs. A page from Sedgley Manor Court Books, dated 2nd Sept. 1729, showing an inventory of the effects, goods and chattels taken on the death of widow Ann Turton (died 6th Feb. 1728). A page from Sedgley Manor Court Books, dated 2nd Sept. 1729, showing an inventory of the effects, goods and chattels taken on the death of widow Ann Turton (died 6th Feb. 1728). Inventories such as this often accompanied wills at this date, and are a window into the lives of our ancestors, as they list personal and everyday household items alongside other property. They can exist even where no last will or testament was made. The inventory itself is written in English, though at this date the rest of the wording was still in Latin. A document pertaining to a transfer of a half share in the profits arising from tolls collected for the Sedgley 'Old Line of Road' between Sarah Hall and Abel Fletcher, dated 3rd January 1856. Sarah Hall was the widow of Benjamin Hall, a wheelwright and barrow maker who died in 1851 aged just 39. They had been renting a cottage near the corner of Bilston Street and High Street from Abel Fletcher who had his steam flour mill there. Sarah evidently owned a half share in the interest from the tolls, while Mary Ann Sherwood named in the deed (a relative of Sarah's husband) owned the other half share.

  • Planning Application Number:P10/0765
    PLANNING APPLICATION NUMBER:P10/0765 Type of approval sought Conservation Area Consent Ward Castle & Priory Applicant Dudley College Location: KUDOS HOUSE, LAND AT CORNER OF PRIORY ROAD & EDNAM ROAD, DUDLEY, WEST MIDLANDS, DY1 1HL Proposal CONSERVATION AREA CONSENT FOR DEMOLITION OF KUDOS HOUSE, FORMER COACH HOUSE, SPORTS HALL AND BOUNDARY WALLS Recommendation REFUSE Summary: SITE AND SURROUNDINGS 1 The application site is 0.4 hectares in size and encompasses a Locally Listed Historic House (constructed in 1864-5 as Priory Villa but more recently re-named Kudos House) along with its extensive grounds which also contain an associated historic Coach House. These elements with their historic boundary walls all fall within the boundary of the Dudley Town Centre Conservation Area. The application site extends beyond this incorporating a part of the Priory Road Car Park and a building housing a former gymnasium at the rear of no. 2 Ednam Road. The gymnasium and boundary treatment along Priory Road (wall, railings and posts) are vestiges of the former use of this part of the site as Dudley Girls Grammar School. Priory Villa itself is in a good condition and is currently being used as council offices (electoral services office). 2 In the context of the current application for demolition the application site itself needs to be understood in the context of the historic evolution of Dudley Town Centre and of the contribution that the historic buildings and their historic layout make to local distinctiveness and the ‘sense of place’ that makes Dudley special when compared to other towns in the Black Country and beyond.

    aberdeen3-34973_1 Summary In August 2007, Mr Harry McNab of Bancon Developments Ltd, commissioned Alison Cameron of Aberdeen City Council Archaeology Unit to conduct an archaeological evaluation on the site of a proposed development at Stoneywood Terrace, Aberdeen. No archaeological features were discovered during the evaluation; however, it was not possible to evaluate the western edge of site (the area of greatest archaeological potential) due to the presence of a grove of mature beech trees. This report recommends that the clients notify Aberdeen City Council Archaeology Unit prior to any future groundworks within this area, to allow an evaluation trench to be dug (if appropriate) to determine the possible location of the Aberdeenshire canal.. 1.

  • Picaresque Picturesque
    Picaresque picturesque Dudley Zoo by Tecton and Berthold Lubetkin Karolina Szynalska May 2010 2 Walking around Dudley zoo on a fresh spring morning; I was contemplating pleasing decay. In 1825 Thomas Atkins and George Wombwell, Wild Beast Merchants , were both exhibiting their menagerie collections in London at Bartholomew fair. Wombwell had to travel from Newcastle, where he had been exhibiting prior to the fair. It took ten days of gruelling travel, which resulted in the unhappy event of Wombwell’s prize exhibit, his elephant, dying of exhaustion on arrival. Atkins responded to this by advertising the only living Elephant at the fair . Wombwell countered – the only dead Elephant at the fair! , exhibited the dead monster, and did much better business than Atkins. The lifeless creature appeared to be a greater attraction than the living one. Decay is attractive (or even cathartic). Pleasing decay is a part of the vocabulary of English romantic painting Those people who have no eye for it say that it indicates a decay of the mind to dwell on it; those who have an eye for it say that a weathered building can symbolize the whole of man’s relation to nature (Piper 1947: 85). Those who can see it and celebrate it are romantic. Piper believed that a big factor of the picturesque movement was an expression of the Romantic fuss about pleasing decay (Piper 1947: 85-87). He sought, however, to draw a firm distinction between a ruin and pleasant decay. Not all decay can be pleasing. A description opposite to pleasing is ridiculous , which the Duchess of Marlborough used to describe John Vanburgh’s (1664 – 1726) famous proposal to retain the old ruined manor as a feature in the landscape of the new Blenheim Palace.

Introit John’s1 hoary historiographical aphorism, about maintaining conclusions with doubt,2 has now evolved into his frequent response to the fragmentary observations from which what follows grew. It’s clear that the longer he’s around, the more that certainty evades him, and all he’s prepared to offer is ‘quite possibly so…’ So, in that inquisitive spirit, this material remains defiantly provisional. Six days after the notorious Shanghai massacre in which Chiang Kai-shek purged the Communists from the Kuomintang, ordering over a thousand to be arrested, 300 to be officially executed and caused another 5,000 to go missing; and just two days after the birth in his parents' home in the village of Marktl am Inn, Bavaria, of Joseph Ratzinger who later became Pope Benedict XVI, John was born on 18 April 1927, in Upper Heath, Hampstead, in London.3 1 Dr John Slater, BA (Oxon), Dip Ed (Oxon), MA (London), D Phil (Exeter), FHA.
