Louis Le Prince Came Close to Achieving a Successful Process of Cinematography
CINEMATOGRAPHY Pioneers of Early Cinema: Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince (1841-1890?) Though he lacked the financial backing and research facilities of Thomas Edison and the Lumière brothers, the acknowledged pioneers of motion pictures and the cinema, and did not live to exploit his invention commercially, Louis Le Prince came close to achieving a successful process of cinematography. Le Prince was born in Metz on 28 August 1841. His father, a French Army officer, was a friend of the photographic inventor, Jacques Louis Mandé Daguerre, and the young Louis often visited his studio. Le Prince studied chemistry and physics at the University of Leipzig then worked as a photographer and painter. In 1866 he met and became friends with John Whitley, a young British engineer. At his invitation, Le Prince came to Britain, to the Yorkshire city of Leeds, where he joined the family engineering firm, Whitley Partners, first as a designer and then as the manager of the valve department. In 1869, Le Prince married Elizabeth Whitley. During the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871) Le Prince went to France to enlist in the French Army. In the siege of Paris, he was an officer of Volunteers. On his return to Britain, he and his wife established the Leeds Technical School of Art in Park Square, Leeds. He specialised in the tinting and firing of photographic images on enamel, ceramic and glass. Le Prince moved to New York in 1882 with his family to work on the development and promotion of the Lincrusta wallpaper process, in which John Whitley had an interest. -

3. BOROUGH WIDE ANALYSIS 3 BOROUGH WIDE ANALYSIS 3.1 TOPOGRAPHY 3.1.1 The topography of Lewisham has played a vital role in influencing the way in which the borough has developed. 3.1.2 The natural topography is principally defined by the valley of the Ravensbourne and Quaggy rivers which run north to south through the centre and join at Lewisham before flowing northwards to meet the Thames at Deptford. The north is characterised by the flat floodplain of the River Thames. 3.1.3 The topography rises on the eastern and western sides, the higher ground forming an essential Gently rising topography part of the borough's character. The highest point to the southwest of the borough is at Forest Hill (105m). The highest point to the southeast is Grove Park Cemetery (55m). Blackheath (45m) and Telegraph Hill (45m) are the highest points to the north. 3.1.4 The dramatic topography allows for elevated views from within the borough to both the city centre and its more rural hinterland. High points offer panoramas towards the city 42 Fig 18 Topography 2m 85m LEWISHAM CHARACTERISATION STUDY December 2018 43 3.2 GEOLOGY 3.2.1 The majority of the borough is underlain by the Thames Group rock type which consists mostly of the London Clay Formation. 3.2.2 To the north, the solid geology is Upper Chalk overlain by Thanet Sand. The overlying drift geology is gravel and alluvium. The alluvium has been deposited by the tidal flooding of the Thames and the River Ravensbourne. River deposits are also characteristic along the Ravensbourne. -

Louis A.A. Le Prince and the Whitley Family
From Oak Leaves, Part 3, Summer 2002 - published by Oakwood and District Historical Society [ODHS] Louis A. A. Le Prince and the Whitley Family © By Peter Kelley Did you know that the first great film mystery began in the garden of a house in Roundhay? That one of the actors was to die within a few days of her performance? That the cameraman was to disappear two years later and two of the other actors were to die as a result? The garden belonged to Roundhay Cottage, the home of Joseph Whitley. Joseph Whitley, the eldest son of Thomas and Susannah Whitley (nee Halstead), was born at Wakefield in 1816, he was christened in the Salem Independent Chapel, St.George Street, 24 November 1816. He had three younger brothers, Samuel, Charles and George, their father Thomas was an engineer working in Wakefield. Joseph became a brass founder by trade, and on 17 February 1842, at the age of 25 he was married at the Zion Chapel in Wakefield to Sarah Robinson also of Wakefield, the daughter of a stone mason. At the time of his marriage Joseph was already working in Leeds as a brass founder and living at Lilac Terrace, off Regent Street In 1844 Joseph founded his own business as:- 'Joseph Whitley, Brass Founder, 71 Byron Street, Leeds'. A year later he established a foundry at South Row, near the South Market, with lodgings at Lower Beckett Street. A Leeds directory of 1847 states:- 'Joseph Whitley Brass founder & Fitter up of mechanical brass work, 5 South Row', this foundry was later known as the 'Tablet Works' The family now lived at South Brook Street. -

As you enjoy the tour, please be aware of your surroundings and of other pedestrians, and please be careful of traffic. The tour will take roughly 1 – 1 ½ hours and is at ground level throughout. As we tour around the city centre, there are many places to stop and have a break if you wish. Let’s go and visit our first cinema! You should now be standing just inside Leeds Station entrance to the south side of City Square, next to the doors at the very end of the main concourse, by the News Theatre. At one time there were over 60 different cinemas in central Leeds. -
Excalibur Estate, Catford in the London Borough of Lewisham Planning Application No
planning report PDU/2126/01 8 February 2011 Excalibur Estate, Catford in the London Borough of Lewisham planning application no. DC/10/75973 Strategic planning application stage 1 referral (new powers) Town & Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended); Greater London Authority Acts 1999 and 2007; Town & Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order 2008 The proposal Hybrid application for the demolition of the existing buildings and provision of 371 residential units in buildings ranging from 1 to 3-storeys in height with associated car and cycle parking, highway infrastructure, landscaping and open space. The applicant The applicant is London and Quadrant Housing Group, and the architect is Hunter and Partners. Strategic issues The principle of renewing this estate is strongly supported and in the interest of good strategic planning in London. The proposal is broadly consistent with London Plan policies; however, the proposal would benefit from some design alterations. Further information and discussion is also required on access, child play space, energy and transport. Recommendation That Lewisham Council be advised that while the application is generally acceptable in strategic planning terms the application does not comply with the London Plan, for the reasons set out in paragraph 66 of this report; but that the possible remedies set out in paragraph 68 of this report could address these deficiencies. Context 1 On 13 January 2010 the Mayor of London received documents from Council notifying him of a planning application of potential strategic importance to develop the above site for the above uses. Under the provisions of The Town & Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order 2008 the Mayor has until 23 February to provide the Council with a statement setting out whether he considers that the application complies with the London Plan, and his reasons for taking that view.
