Especially helpful was Susan M. Cabot, Boone County Preservation Planner, who provided assistance in countless ways. She made available a wealth of historical information and background material, helped locate out-of-the-way sites, offered many helpful suggestions, and initiated contacts with local historians and property owners. Survey assistants Christina Cloran, Kimberley Greene, Daniel Korman and Richard Lippincott took photographs, prepared site plans and maps, helped compile indices and assisted with the myriad details of the large project. Historical researcher Patricia A.T. Broberg conducted meticulous deed searches and library research with fresh insights and genuine enthusiasm. Finally, the project would not have been possible without the funding generously provided by the Kentucky Heritage Council’s survey and planning grant. Special thanks are also due to: The staff of the Boone County Property Valuation Administration office The staff of the Boone County Public Library, Florence Don Clare Martha Daugherty Mr. and Mrs. James Dollwick Mike Fletcher Alice Jarrell Tim McNeely and family Jim Poole Mary Rector The Ben Riley family The Rogers family Jack Rouse Bill and Mary Sue Rudicill James Gayle Smith Joseph Smith Wanda Sprague The Honorable Phil Trzop, Mayor of Walton METHODOLOGY This report summarizes the results of a comprehensive survey of historic resources in the county conducted between 1993 and 1996. Eight hundred sixty-nine new sites were recorded; in addition, 188 properties recorded during the previous 1976-1977 survey were resurveyed. The survey -2- documented properties at least 50 years old that retained sufficient integrity to be recognizable as a product of their time; in other words, their plan and footprint were still apparent despite alterations or additions, and their approximate age was still discernible. Farms with historic outbuildings, however, were included even if the main house was changed beyond recognition. Some heavily altered properties located in towns were recorded in recognition of their contribution to the townscape or the historical evolution of the community. Altered properties that appeared to be endangered were also documented. While the survey concentrated on pre-1945 buildings, representative buildings built after World War II were also included. Most properties, including farms and individual buildings, were recorded as individual entries using the Kentucky Heritage Council’s individual survey form: KHC 91-1. Several blocks of identical dwellings were documented on group forms (KHC 91-2), as were others of diverse plan but united by historical context. Historic farmsteads without houses present also were recorded on group forms. Properties that appeared eligible for National Register listing were documented at the intensive level using form KHC 91-3. All properties surveyed received one of four designations according to their potential for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The majority of sites surveyed were evaluated as "U," which signifies that additional information is required to make a determination about National Register eligibility. Properties of diminished integrity were labeled "S": apparently not eligible for listing. Individual resources with exceptional architectural or historical significance were designated "D," which indicates they appear eligible for listing in the Register. Resources in potential National Register districts were given a designation of "N," as potential National Register group members. While the vast majority of rural property owners permitted survey of their farms, some refused access. For planning purposes, and in the hope that these sites can be surveyed in the future, these properties were assigned site numbers and included in the survey index and on the base maps. (When possible, one or more photographs were taken from a distance.) A few owners permitted only limited survey; for example, no photographs of outbuildings. In such cases this is noted on the survey form. Documentary resources included Lake's 1883 Atlas of Boone, Kenton and Campbell Counties, Sanborn maps of Walton from 1921 and 1927, deed records, census data, newspaper articles, local historical society papers, and church histories. The Loder Diary, a series of volumes dating from the mid-19th through early 20th century, offered a fascinating glimpse of daily life in a river town and provided background information on a wide range of historical contexts. While there is no comprehensive written history of any of the northern Kentucky counties, several short monographs by the late William Conrad, based on meticulous research in primary sources, provided invaluable data. The most consistent source of information, however, was oral interviews with property owners, community members and local historians. The evaluations and ratings expressed in this report represent the opinion of the consultant involved in this survey project. Any final decisions on the eligibility of properties for the Kentucky historic inventory or the National Register of Historic Places are made by the Kentucky Heritage Council, -3- the Kentucky Historic Preservation Review Board or the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service. -4- HISTORICAL OVERVIEW Boone County is the northernmost county in Kentucky. It is bounded by the Ohio River on the north, Kenton County on the east, Grant County on the south and Gallatin County on the west. Geologically it is part of the Outer Bluegrass region. Originally part of Woodford County, Virginia, Boone County was formed from Campbell County in 1798 but was not officially established until 1799. Settlement began in 1789 when a party from Pennsylvania, led by Baptist preacher John Tanner, founded Tanner's Station (now known as Petersburg) in northwest Boone. Another early settlement along the river was Bullittsburg, which formed around the Bullittsburg Baptist Church (BE-82), the first church in the county. Settlers then moved over the hills and along creek valleys. Many interior communities incorporated or gained post offices in the 1820s, 30s and 40s, including Burlington (originally Wilmington), Florence (known under various names), Union, Verona and Walton. Burlington became the county seat, while other towns functioned as rural trading centers. Many of Boone County's settlers came from Virginia, western Pennsylvania and the Carolinas. While the earliest migrants traveled down the Ohio, most of those who came later journeyed overland. Others relocated from central Kentucky counties such as Fayette and Woodford. Several ethnic groups left their mark on the county's built environment, town development and institutions. A large group of German emigrants relocated from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia in the early 19th century, settling in the northern section of the county and in the vicinity of the present-day communities of Hebron and Hopeful Heights (now part of Florence). Irish Catholics established a community in the vicinity of Verona in the 1850s. The county's slave population, never large, began to decline before the Civil War; following emancipation, many remaining African-Americans left the county. A small community, however, formed in north Walton. Most towns developed as stringtowns, like Florence, or crossroads communities such as Idlewild or Union. The most striking example of formal town planning is the Burlington courthouse square (NR, 1978), whose geometric street pattern remains evident to this day. The river towns of Taylorsport, Belleview, McVille and Petersburg, on the other hand, were based on grid plans, placed parallel or perpendicular to the river. Walton developed as a linear-form railroad town, bound tightly by rail lines to the east and west. The history of town development in the county reflects the rise and fall of various transportation systems. While river transportation reigned, Petersburg, Belleview, McVille and Hamilton remained centers of commerce and industry, and

You will now be required to order your prescriptions directly from your GP practice. If you already order in this way, you will not be affected by the change. There will be no change to the way you collect your prescriptions. If your pharmacist currently collects your prescription and/or delivers it directly, they will continue to do this. To clarify how you notify the pharmacy that there is a prescription to collect, please contact your pharmacy to discuss their processes. It is important that NHS money is used as efficiently as possible. Over-ordering, stockpiling and unused medicines cost the NHS hundreds of millions of pounds every year. Taking control and responsibility for your own medication has proven to be safer and reduce waste, allowing money to be used to fund other services to improve the health of people in Blackpool. NHS Blackpool Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), which is the organisation that buys and organises local NHS services, is working with us on implementing this new process, which is in line with changes across the rest of Lancashire and the wider UK. Your prescription will need to be ordered using one of the following options: 1. Ordering online or via a mobile app – it is easier than you think and your GP practice will help you to set this up, meaning you can order 24/7.

  • RACE, SPACE, and PLACE: the RELATION BETWEEN ARCHITECTURAL MODERNISM, POST-MODERNISM, URBAN PLANNING, and GENTRIFICATION Keith A
    RACE, SPACE, AND PLACE: THE RELATION BETWEEN ARCHITECTURAL MODERNISM, POST-MODERNISM, URBAN PLANNING, AND GENTRIFICATION Keith Aoki * [Cite as: 20 Fordham Urb. L.J. 699 (1993)] Introduction Gentrification in United States urban housing markets of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s continues to be a controversial and complex phenomenon. [FN1] During the past twenty years, gentrification's effects on the core cities of the U.S. have been analyzed and evaluated many times over. [FN2] Descriptions of gentrification have spanned the ideological *700 spectrum, from laudatory embraces of gentrification as the solution to urban decline to denunciatory critiques of gentrification as another symptom of the widening gulf between the haves and the have- nots in America. [FN3] This Article critiques gentrification, adding an additional explanatory element to the ongoing account of the dynamics of American cities in the 1990s. The additional element is the relevance of a major aesthetic realignment in architecture and urban planning from a modernist to a post-modernist ideology in the 1970s and 1980s. This shift involved an aesthetic and economic revaluation of historical elements in older central city buildings, which accelerated the rate of gentrification, displacement, and abandonment. This Article describes how certain shifts in the aesthetic ideology [FN4] of urban planners and architects affected suburban and urban spatial distribution in the United States during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. These ideological shifts arose from deeply embedded American attitudes toward city and rural life that had emerged in American town planning and architectural theory and practice by the mid-nineteenth century. Part I of this Article examines the emergence of an anti-urban Arcadian strand in nineteenth century American town planning rhetoric.

  • Captain Thomas Jones Gregory, Guerrilla Hunter
    Captain Thomas Jones Gregory, Guerrilla Hunter Berry Craig and Dieter Ullrich Conventional historical wisdom long held that guerrilla warfare had little effect on the outcome of America's most lethal conflict. Hence, for years historians expended relatively Little ink on combat between these Confederate marauders and their foes-rear-area Union troops, state militia and Home Guards. But a handful of historians, including Daniel Sutherland, now maintain that guerrilla warfare, most brutal and persistent in border state Missouri and Kentucky, was anything but an adjunct to the wider war. "It is impossible to understand the Civil War without appreciating the scope and impact of the guerrilla conflict," Sutherland argued in A Savage Confl,ict: The Decisive Role of Guerrillas in the Civil War (2009). "That is no easy thing to do," he conceded, because guerrilla warfare was "intense and sprawling, born in controversy, and defined by all variety of contradictions, contours, and shadings." 1 Mao Zedong, the founder of the People's Republic of China, is arguably the most famous and most successful guerrilla leader in history. "Many people think it impossible for guerrillas to exist for long in the enemy's rear," he wrote in 193 7 while fighting Japanese invaders. "Such a belief reveals lack of comprehension of the relationship that should exist between the people and the troops. The former may be likened to water the latter to the fish who inhabit it. "2 Guerrilla "fish" plagued occupying Union forces in the Jackson Purchase, Kentucky's westernmost region, for most of the war because the "water" was welcoming.

  • Waterloo Road/Rock Road, Ketley - Traffic Calming Scheme
    Waterloo Road/Rock Road, Ketley - Traffic Calming Scheme Briefing Note Ref: NM20_CP08 September 2020 1.0 Background Concerns have been raised by residents with regard to the speed of vehicles travelling along Waterloo Road, in particular through the series of bends, also known as Ketley Town. This document sets out the review that has been undertaken and identifies the proposed measures to mitigate these concerns. The proposed measures would also support the current traffic calming features (speed cushions) that are already in place along the route to encourage speed limit compliance and also improve the area for those residents who live in close proximity. Concerns have also be made regarding the number of motorised vehicles using the public footpath which links Spring Terrace/Waterloo Road to Lavender Close, Lawley. This document also sets out plans on how we can mitigate these concerns and make the footpath safer for pedestrians and reduce noise levels for local residents. In addition to the proposals and as part of a maintenance scheme for the area, the current speed cushions along Rock Road will also be upgraded with rubber bolt down cushions. It is worth noting that Rock Road has recently been subject to School Safety Zone improvements which included the introduction of an advisory 20mph zone to address safety concerns raised by the school and residents; the options proposed in this report will help support this scheme. The review area being considered as part of this report is shown in Figure 1.1. Figure 1.1 – Review Area 2.0 Traffic Data Three automated traffic counts (ATC’s) was installed on 7th March – 13th 2020 along Waterloo Road, Ketley to collect vehicle traffic data.

  • Architectural Styles/Types
    Architectural Findings Summary of Architectural Trends 1940‐70 National architectural trends are evident within the survey area. The breakdown of mid‐20th‐ century styles and building types in the Architectural Findings section gives more detail about the Dayton metropolitan area’s built environment and its place within national architectural developments. In American Architecture: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, Cyril Harris defines Modern architecture as “A loosely applied term, used since the late 19th century, for buildings, in any of number of styles, in which emphasis in design is placed on functionalism, rationalism, and up‐to‐date methods of construction; in contrast with architectural styles based on historical precedents and traditional ways of building. Often includes Art Deco, Art Moderne, Bauhaus, Contemporary style, International Style, Organic architecture, and Streamline Moderne.” (Harris 217) The debate over traditional styles versus those without historic precedent had been occurring within the architectural community since the late 19th century when Louis Sullivan declared that form should follow function and Frank Lloyd Wright argued for a purely American expression of design that eschewed European influence. In 1940, as America was about to enter the middle decades of the 20th century, architects battled over the merits of traditional versus modern design. Both the traditional Period Revival, or conservative styles, and the early 20th‐century Modern styles lingered into the 1940s. Period revival styles, popular for decades, could still be found on commercial, governmental, institutional, and residential buildings. Among these styles were the Colonial Revival and its multiple variations, the Tudor Revival, and the Neo‐Classical Revival. As the century progressed, the Colonial Revival in particular would remain popular, used as ornament for Cape Cod and Ranch houses, apartment buildings, and commercial buildings.
