  • Prices Street Consultation Summary
    APPENDIX 4 PRICES STREET CONSULTATION SUMMARY The council is working with Better Bankside, the Kirkaldy Testing Museum and the developers of the Bankside Hilton to improve the environment in Prices Street following the completion of the construction of the new hotel. Consultation was carried out from 23 October to 28 November 2014, with proposals to landscape the highway and install planters, street trees, seating, and a special entrance treatment incorporating artwork for the grade II* listed Kirkaldy Testing Works. This note summarises the reasons for investing in the project, the method of consultation, a detailed response to comments made, and next steps for the project. Why invest in improvements at Prices Street? The proposal to make further improvements to Prices Street has arisen from several key opportunities: 1. The need to create new and improved open spaces to provide for the large numbers of new residents and workers moving into the area. By upgrading the public realm we are better able to provide for our communities and meet their expectations. Open space improvements will include street trees and planting will help contribute to improved air quality, sustainable urban drainage, and a high quality amenity and social space for the enjoyment of local residents, workers and visitors. The council has carried out extensive consultation on a programme of public realm improvement works across Bankside called the “Bankside Urban Forest”. One of the key project proposals to come out of the consultation process was to make further improvements to Great Suffolk Street as a key spine which links Bankside and the Elephant and Castle.

  • THE KIRKALDY TESTING MUSEUM a Perfectly Preserved Victorian Workshop That Changed the World
    THE KIRKALDY TESTING MUSEUM A perfectly preserved Victorian workshop that changed the world 99 Southwark Street, London SE1 0JF, UK www.testingmuseum.org.uk The Kirkaldy Testing Museum is one of the great, unsung museums of international importance operating in London today, offering a unique insight into Britain’s industrial and scientific past. Located in Southwark near major tourist attractions such as Tate Modern and Borough Market, this one‐of‐a‐kind museum hosts the preserved Victorian workshop of global engineering pioneer, David Kirkaldy, and the huge testing machine he invented that changed the world. The findings from the experiments carried out on the machine and in the still‐intact workshop changed the face of the world’s engineering and construction industries forever, as well as revolutionising air, rail and road transport. In the process, it saved untold numbers of lives. The hydraulic tensile testing machine – the first of its kind and the last remaining – formed the heart of Kirkaldy’s Testing and Experimenting Works where experiments took place on emerging industrial materials to determine their strength. Listed and still in perfect working order, the machine is housed in a beautiful and atmospheric Grade II listed building specially constructed in 1874 to accommodate it. Spread over two floors, the workshop is preserved in its original state and still features the office, and even the chair, where David Kirkaldy dreamed up his world‐changing inventions. An authentic, real‐life reminder of Britain’s Victorian industrial past, it evokes a feeling similar to that of the Sir John Soane Museum in Lincoln’s Inn Fields: that its founder has not left, he has just stepped out.
