One clause seemed directly written to me - the President was “not ex- pected to be expert in all the fields covered by the various sections." As most of you will know, unlike past Presidents who have been specialists, I am very much an ordinary member with a general interest in natural history and archaeology, but my membership over many years has widened my knowledge and kept up a spirit of inquiry. With this in mind last May I joined the general meeting exploring the ground around the glass- houses of Wight Salads, somewhere completely new to me. It proved to be two hours of continuous in- terest as we wandered by the new lakes created from the water used in the hydroponic growing system. With experts in identifying grasses, mosses, flowers, birds all to hand, and all more than willing to point out, identify and explain when I asked any question. It was a real illustration of teaching and learning in the best way.

  • Flash@Hebburn B
    Flash@Hebburn by Charles Quick Urban Art in the New Century Edited by Jonathan Vickery a flash — is the perfect way to symbolise the industrial connection to the riverside, with the spark from a welder’s torch being a regular sight from yesteryear. Contents 07 Foreword – Matthew Jarrett 08 Introduction – Tony Duggan 12 Hebburn – Charles Quick 26 The Sculptural Imagination of Charles Quick – Jon Wood 34 Working it out 44 Infrastructures: Creating FLASH@Hebburn – Jonathan Vickery 62 Testing, Making, Installing 76 FLASH@Hebburn 94 The Launch 96 Celebrating FLASH@Hebburn – Rebbeca Chesney 106 Press Coverage 108 Biography 112 Acknowledgements 113 Image Credits 05 Foreword In the early 1990s, it would have been surprising to think that the North East of England would soon become a leading region in Europe for culture, and particularly for public art. The phenomenon of Antony Gormley’s Angel of the North in Gateshead (completed in 1998) created a wave of aspiration for the North East. In South Tyneside, outstanding figurative sculptures by Juan Munoz and Irene Brown were realised as part of a longer term Arts Council lottery funded project called Art on the Riverside. Our ambition for Art on the Riverside was that in facilitating a series of both artists’ commissions and artists’ residencies, the people of the region would be reconnected to the rivers Tyne and Wear. When we first conceived the artist’s brief and then shortlisted artists for a site in Hebburn, our goal was to find a way of celebrating the local electrical engineering company Reyrolles, who have been a significant national innovator and a local employer for over 100 years.

  • Never Has So Much Been Owed…
    First published in 2005 1 TEWKESBURY HISTORICAL SOCIETY Publication No. 4 [VE75 Website Edition] “Never has so much been owed …..” Commemoration of Local War Dead in World War II Contents Introduction 2 District Role of Honour 3 Contribution of Local War Dead to World War II 5 Statistics 15 Parish Rolls of Honour: Conclusion 72 2 Tewkesbury Historical Society “Never has so much been owed …..” Commemoration of Local War Dead in World War II Introduction This book is an attempt to provide biographical information upon the 63 men and women who sacrificed their lives in this war and who are commemorated in some way in the localities of Tewkesbury,1 Twyning, Forthampton, Apperley and Tredington.2 The main sources of information are ✓ The invaluable website of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission which has so meticulously logged the data of the war dead, but which also tends so lovingly their graves all over the world. In this task, I am grateful for the CWGC permitting us to use their images and to Jade Atkinson. ✓ The Tewkesbury Register (the ancestor of the “Echo”) which is patiently researched by the late David Willavoys. We are also very grateful to John Pocock who has patiently transcribed information researched by David. We have used photographs taken with a digital camera, but the quality is inevitably variable. ✓ Sam Eedle for his superb cover design. ✓ Those families who have responded to press appeals for more information. An exhibition was mounted at the Tewkesbury Library between 9 and 21 July 2005 and we learned more information about individuals as a result of this exercise.3 There are two major innovations in commemorating the war dead of this War: ✓ Service women who lost their lives are included unlike in WWI ✓ One civilian, who lost his life in a Flying Bomb attack, is included There are, however, inconsistencies and we hope that, as a result of this exercise, those names omitted from the Memorials will be included, even though the gesture would be 60 years late.

  • The Island Tea & Coffee
    E The Island Tea & Coffee Co. Freshly roasted coffee on the Isle of Wight. Following a summer which certainly kept us on our toes weather-wise, we are now slipping into autumn with its ‘mists and mellow fruitfulness’… with its SAS-style dawn- raids on the local hedgerows - although those who have been waiting patiently for the sloes to have their first frost, may have been disappointed to find the bushes stripped bare when they turned up at the secret place only they know about!! The seasonal chill in the air also heralds the beginning of …Thermostat Wars!! Has it been suggested to you yet that you might ‘put another jumper on’ instead of the central heating??!! After a break (and how many of you knew that Bob speaks fluent Russian!!?) Focus On returns with the Qs and As of a ‘local girl made good!’ Our junior reporters, Polly and Flora, tell us what they have been doing during the summer, and we have reports and round-ups of pretty much every- thing that has been going on in the parish, along with news of forthcoming events. Steve’s stroll down the memory lane of the last ten years of the C&G News provoked much reminiscing. We would love to hear about your own ‘highlights’ from the last ten years ... I’ll start the ball rolling with some of my own personal memories … the 2010 and 2012 very successful May Days; having my photograph taken at the school, holding the 2012 Olympic Torch; how seemingly half the village turned out one evening in May 2008 to search when Daisy was missing.

  • Barton Village and the Great War 1914-1918 Anthony Ewen
    Barton Village And The Great War 1914-1918 Anthony Ewen BARTON VILLAGE & THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918 Contents Introduction and Personal Note Map Street by Street Meaning of Terms The Fallen Events Timeline The Armistice and After The Survivors Cemeteries and Memorials Acknowledgements BARTON VILLAGE & THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918 Introduction Like almost every community in the country, Barton Village felt the tragedy of the conflict. The war memorial in the church of St Paul’s Barton commemorates the names of 124 men who lost their lives, whilst the memorial for Barton School repeats the names of the 70 former pupils who died and confirms that 750 former Barton Boys took part in the hostilities, one of whom was awarded the Military Cross and six the Military Medal. Barton School Memorial St Paul’s Church Barton Memorial The early patriotic fervour that greeted the outbreak of war and the later introduction of conscription saw the young men of the community sign up for duty across the range of military services, so, along with the more expected signings to ‘local’ regiments such as The Hampshire Regiment and The Isle Of Wight Rifles we see men enlisted in battalions of the Army further afield and the Royal Navy. In some cases men are identified with overseas Regiments (Australia and Canada) and it is probably the case that, whilst being born on the Isle of Wight and attending Barton School, these emigrated prior to 1914 due to the severe local unemployment situation at home. The Isle of Wight County Press (IWCP) on 26 September 1914, under a heading of ‘The Island Roll of Honour’, began printing lists of Island men already involved in the conflict.
