  • Newsletter 42 April 2018
    Newsletter 42 • April 2018 Forthcoming Meetings Wednesday 23 May 2018, 8 pm (doors open 7.30) Tudor Fashion Eleri Lynn, Curator, Hampton Court Palace Clore Centre, Hampton Court Palace, KT8 9AU Eleri Lynn is the collections curator at Historic Royal Palaces, with special responsibility for the dress collection. Her talk will tell the captivating story of Tudor dress, its construction and symbolism, and the people who made and wore it. The Tudor monarchs and their courtiers are some of the best-known figures in history. They continue, even today, to spark our curiosity and imagination. Their enduring popularity is no doubt partly due to the iconic portraits in which they are depicted in magnificent style, in farthingales and ruffs, furs and jewels, codpieces and cloaks, and vast expanses of velvet and silk. Far from being mere decoration, fashion was pivotal in the communication of status and power. It was used as a tool in securing and holding the tenuous Tudor throne and as a competitive weapon in the factions, intrigues and love-affairs of the court. Histories of Kings and Queens complement stories of unsung dressmakers, laundresses, and officials charged with maintaining and transporting the immense Tudor wardrobes from palace to palace. Refreshments will be served before the talk. Booking details are at the end of the Newsletter.

While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website.

  • TREC Section 4: Acton Town Station/Gunnersbury Park to Boston Manor Station (Optional Extension to Ealing Broadway)
    TREC Section 4: Acton Town Station/Gunnersbury Park to Boston Manor Station (optional extension to Ealing Broadway). Distance: 8.4 km (5.4 miles). Public Transport: Section 4 starts at Acton Town Underground Station (District and Piccadilly lines), finishing at Boston Manor Underground Station (Piccadilly Line). There is an optional exit en route at Brentford Station or an optional 3.7 km (2.3 miles) extension from Boston Manor to Ealing Broadway Station (using part of the TREC Section 1 route). Surface and Terrain: The first half of the route is along level paths, including through parks: Gunnersbury and Carville Hall Park South; however the section along the Thames Path and the River Brent/Grand Union Canal Walk does involve some steps (an alternative route avoiding the steps is suggested); the route eventually reaches Boston Manor Park and Station. Refreshments: Acton Town Station; Gunnersbury Park Café; Brentford High Street (near Brentford Lock); Boston Manor Park Café (seasonal), Boston Manor Station and shops nearby. Covid-19 restrictions: Check availability of refreshments and toilets before your walk. Public Toilets: Acton Town Station (charge); Gunnersbury Park; Boston Manor Park Café (seasonal). The route starts from south-west Acton, one of the seven towns of the London Borough of Ealing, Acton means "oak farm" or "farm by oak trees". This final section of TREC does stray into the north east of the London Borough of Hounslow going through parts of old Brentford, however as this was historically part of the Parish of Ealing when it did extend to the River Thames we think it’s appropriate to include in TREC.

  • Kew Shops:Then and Now
    Kew Shops:then and now CAROLINE BLOMFIELD In June 2003, after selling our bookshop by Kew Gardens Station, we set up an exhibition celebrating one hundred years of shopping in Kew. The exhibition was held in a historic venue, the old workshops of Station ROYAL Avenue. They had just undergone complete renovation as a stylish studio 'So.,.Afo..,) \<;. complex, and the owners kindly lent us a large ground floor space. The ....ls exhibition was open to the public for just two days, and to our amazement we had almost 300 visitors. In view of this unexpected response, we are publishing our findings, in the hope that others may attempt something similar - and ideally even more wide-ranging - in their own communities. For most of the 20th century there were four main shopping areas in Kew: the original Kew village around the Green and along Mortlake Terrace; the full length of Sandycombe Road; the west side of the station, known today as 'The Village'; the east side of the station at the top of North Road, part of which has now been landscaped and pedestrianised as 'Kew Plaza'. (Until 1920 there was also a further small row of shops along the Lower Richmond Road, between the south ends of North Road and Dancer Road, called North Parade: these were demolished when the A316 was widened around 1930.) We decided to research these four areas and to try to establish how shops and shopping have changed in Kew, and to what extent premises that were retail businesses one hundred years ago were still operating as shops, and to what extent the goods and services demanded, and thus provided, have changed over the years.
