In 1954, he went to the Fircroft Adult Education College and from there to Keele University. He returned to dock work, but in 1960 joined the Trades Union Congress where he remained until his retirement in 1990. He became Secretary of the TUC Steel Committee, but retained his interest in the docks industry and its history. He played a major role in staging the Docklands Exhibition in Congress House in 1980 and in the establishment of the Museum of London Docklands. He was writing a history of industrial relations in the docks when he died.

    The Talent House: First-Look Images Revealed East London Dance and Ud’S Vibrant New Creative Hub in the Heart of Stratford’S Sugar House Island Opening This Autumn

    THE TALENT HOUSE: FIRST-LOOK IMAGES REVEALED EAST LONDON DANCE AND UD’S VIBRANT NEW CREATIVE HUB IN THE HEART OF STRATFORD’S SUGAR HOUSE ISLAND OPENING THIS AUTUMN Thursday 25 March 2021: To mark the lease completion and start of our fit-out, East London Dance and UD are delighted to reveal first-look images of The Talent House, a vibrant new creative hub on Sugar House Island in Stratford that will bring the two organisations together under one roof. With high-performance professional facilities spanning across three floors housed in a historic warehouse with a modern extension, The Talent House is purpose-built to facilitate and encourage the passions and aspirations of dance and music artists, supporting young people and local communities on every step of their creative journey. Designed by Waugh Thistleton with internal design by award-winning architect Katy Marks, from Citizens Design Bureau, and located within a new development by Vastint UK, the building comprises two dance studios, five music production/recording studios, a live room and two vocal booths, a large flexible rehearsal/events space and a tech lab for education and training. The design brief also includes a shared area for building users and members, including a canteen and co-working space, and a central atrium functioning as the main reception of The Talent House and as a space for dance jams and informal gigs. This new permanent home will enable East London Dance and UD, long-standing champions of the next generation of artists, entrepreneurs and creative leaders, to support even more outstanding but under-represented talent - developing their skills, nurturing confidence and helping to build careers.

In the history of Manchester, and indeed of South Lancashire as a whole, no other event or enterprise can compare with it in its far-reaching effects. The story, too, in many respects contains all the elements of a romance. It is the relation of a desperate and almost hopeless fight against opposi- tion of the most powerful and uncompromising character, and it is meet that the names and qualities of the men engaged in the strife, and the nature of the difficulties which they encountered and overcame, should find a permanent record. To rescue both individuals and incidents from oblivion, and to give a connected narrative of the course of events from the conception to the completion of the canal, is the object of the present work.

    Echelon Data Centres – LCY10 Nos 1, 2 and 4 Greenwich View Place, London E14 9NN Heat Rejection using Dock Cooling – Technical Note 4th December 2020 Rev 02 1.0 Introduction Echelon Data Centres (Echelon DC) are developing the buildings at Nos 1, 2 and 4 (known as GV1, GV2 and GV4) Greenwich View Place to become a single data centre. Previously the buildings were 3 separate units, but through planning approvals received in 2012 and 2016, they have now become a single building now termed LCY-10. Previously HDR|Hurley Palmer Flatt produced a paper on the “External Energy Options” that were available to the project at LCY-10 including the use of dock cooling for heat rejection in tandem in a resilient format with the Barkantine Energy System (similar to Option 6). This Technical Note considers the reality of being able to reject heat into the nearby Outer Millwall Dock and any implications to being able to provide the capacity required to support the overall 17MW of IT load capacity within LCY-10. 2.0 Background The LCY-10 buildings are built adjacent to the Outer Millwall Dock located in the Isle of Dogs Peninsula in East London. Figure 1 shows the location, Figure 2 shows the key side with GV3 building protruding over the top of the dock itself approx. 1m above the water level. The dock is considered a closed water body, the slipway to the Thames opposite Surrey Quays is completely close and has the West Ferry Road running over it. To the North via the Glengall Bridge, there is the Millwall Inner Dock which then connects by canal connection to the South Dock; although the South Dock can be opened to the Thames, all of the docks are effectively closed.
