First the brilliant Lockdown Learning Joint CPD Programme, then the Guide London Live Broadcasts and now the Virtual Tours (VT) CPD. I would like to say a special thank you to APTG members Pepe Martinez and Simon Whitehouse and everyone on the VT CPD Committee and, of course, Ursula Petula Barzey from Moxee Marketing for all of their hard work and wonderful efforts with this. I think it is fair to say that virtual tours are pretty much the only way we can deliver tours with the market as it is now and various UK Government guidelines in place as a result of the coronavirus. Having this CPD means that everyone taking part is now well equipped to deliver excellent, professional, outstanding and incredibly fun virtual tours. Before this CPD none of us received any training as to how to deliver them as they were not a thing before this pandemic, so this training is very much needed and appreciated. Thanks to Simon and Pepe it is being offered at the very accessible price of just £30 - an absolute bargain I am sure you will agree for a CPD that includes a half day workshop and a week of support afterwards! If you are thinking about signing up I would urge you to do so and give it a try. If you have already completed the course (or just want to boost your profile) please ensure you update your availability calendar at least once a month. If you do not do this your Guide London profile will not appear in the FindAGuide and or GuideMatch search tools used by tour operators and/or direct clients alike. Best wishes to everyone delivering virtual tours and, if you receive an enquiry for one but are unsure as to how they found you, please ask them. Fingers crossed they will tell you it was through the Guide London website!

  • Martello Towers Research Project
    Martello Towers Research Project March 2008 Jason Bolton MA MIAI IHBC www.boltonconsultancy.com Conservation Consultant [email protected] Executive Summary “Billy Pitt had them built, Buck Mulligan said, when the French were on the sea”, Ulysses, James Joyce. The „Martello Towers Research Project‟ was commissioned by Fingal County Council and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, with the support of The Heritage Council, in order to collate all known documentation relating to the Martello Towers of the Dublin area, including those in Bray, Co. Wicklow. The project was also supported by Dublin City Council and Wicklow County Council. Martello Towers are one of the most well-known fortifications in the world, with examples found throughout Ireland, the United Kingdom and along the trade routes to Africa, India and the Americas. The towers are typically squat, cylindrical, two-storey masonry towers positioned to defend a strategic section of coastline from an invading force, with a landward entrance at first-floor level defended by a machicolation, and mounting one or more cannons to the rooftop gun platform. The Dublin series of towers, built 1804-1805, is the only group constructed to defend a capital city, and is the most complete group of towers still existing in the world. The report begins with contemporary accounts of the construction and significance of the original tower at Mortella Point in Corsica from 1563-5, to the famous attack on that tower in 1794, where a single engagement involving key officers in the British military became the catalyst for a global military architectural phenomenon. However, the design of the Dublin towers is not actually based on the Mortella Point tower.

As he got higher and higher, members of the Health & Safety sub- committee carefully avoided that part of the site while he was working. Demolition of the tree was finally completed on the February working party.

Identification of the property 1.a Country/State Party: Republic of South Africa 1.b State/Province/Region: Western Cape 1.c Name: The Royal Observatory, Cape of Good Hope is the original name for the headquarters of the present-day South African Astronomical Observatory. 1.d Location: latitude 33° 56′ 4″ S, longitude 18° 28′ 39″ E, elevation 15m above MSL. 1.e Maps and Plans: Property diagrams and other maps of the Royal Observatory property exist from many epochs. See also Figs 8.1 and 8.13. 1.f Area of the property: 9 hectares 2. Description 2.a Description of the property Introduction The Royal Observatory occupies a small wooded hill about 6 km east of central Cape Town, within a conservation area known as the Two Rivers Urban Park. Its location was originally chosen to be within view of the Table Bay, the anchorage in front of the City, to permit the visual signalling of time to visiting ships. The property is one of the last remaining places close to the city centre where the original ecology of the area is preserved. Its low-lying portions are subject to occasional flooding. Some sixty or more structures occupy the site at present. Many of these date from the nineteenth century. The Greek Revival Main Building of 1825–8 still dominates the hill and faces a lawn to the south which forms an axis along which are many smaller edifices such as domes and dwelling houses, most dating from the Victorian period and forming a pleasant coherent whole.

  • Bridge Bearings – a Historical Survey
    Bridge bearings – A Historical Survey Volker Wetzk (From the German by Barthold Pelzer, Berlin) In: Dunkeld, M. et al. (Ed.): Proceedings of the 2nd International Congress on Construction History, Queens´ College, Cambridge University, March 29-April 2, 2006, vol.3, pp.3333-3355. ISBN 0-7017-0205-2 Abstract The support of early bridge constructions was an unproblematic affair. The arches and pillars of the ancient stone bridges amalgamated thus forming a homogeneous unity. In the case of timber constructions on the other hand neither the material nor the widths spanned caused substantial problems and therefore they did not require any particular solutions. With the introduction of iron, reinforced concrete and finally prestressed concrete as building materials new dimensions in bridge building were achieved. Special bearing technologies had to be employed to allow for movements due to temperature differences and impact of heavy traffic. In the course of time engineers have developed a wide variety of bridge bearings to comply with both the requirements of the design and with those of the structure. The following paper portraying the development of bridge bearings evaluates historical and contemporary research on a systematic basis. It follows the chronological evolution of bearings, commencing with wooden bearings, then deals with plane and rotating bearings made of iron and steel, and finally the employment of plastic for deformation bearings used nowadays. Only the evolution of the major forms of bearings will be presented. INTRODUCTION In the course of the past two centuries bridge bearings evolved as parts of immense sophistication and complexity in modern bridges. The ever-increasing spans went hand in hand with the rapid growth of the loads to be carried.
