Abercrombie's Green-Wedge Vision for London: the County of London Plan 1943 and the Greater London Plan 1944
Abercrombie’s green-wedge vision for London: the County of London Plan 1943 and the Greater London Plan 1944 Abstract This paper analyses the role that the green wedges idea played in the main official reconstruction plans for London, namely the County of London Plan 1943 and the Greater London Plan 1944. Green wedges were theorised in the first decade of the twentieth century and discussed in multifaceted ways up to the end of the Second World War. Despite having been prominent in many plans for London, they have been largely overlooked in planning history. This paper argues that green wedges were instrumental in these plans to the formulation of a more modern, sociable, healthier and greener peacetime London. Keywords: Green wedges, green belt, reconstruction, London, planning Introduction Green wedges have been theorised as an essential part of planning debates since the beginning of the twentieth century. Their prominent position in texts and plans rivalled that of the green belt, despite the comparatively disproportionate attention given to the latter by planning historians (see, for example, Purdom, 1945, 151; Freestone, 2003, 67–98; Ward, 2002, 172; Sutcliffe, 1981a; Amati and Yokohari, 1997, 311–37). From the mid-nineteenth century, the provision of green spaces became a fundamental aspect of modern town planning (Dümpelmann, 2005, 75; Dal Co, 1980, 141–293). In this context, the green wedges idea emerged as a solution to the need to provide open spaces for growing urban areas, as well as to establish a direct 1 connection to the countryside for inner city dwellers. Green wedges would also funnel fresh air, greenery and sunlight into the urban core. -

London and Middlesex in the 1660S Introduction: the Early Modern
London and Middlesex in the 1660s Introduction: The early modern metropolis first comes into sharp visual focus in the middle of the seventeenth century, for a number of reasons. Most obviously this is the period when Wenceslas Hollar was depicting the capital and its inhabitants, with views of Covent Garden, the Royal Exchange, London women, his great panoramic view from Milbank to Greenwich, and his vignettes of palaces and country-houses in the environs. His oblique birds-eye map- view of Drury Lane and Covent Garden around 1660 offers an extraordinary level of detail of the streetscape and architectural texture of the area, from great mansions to modest cottages, while the map of the burnt city he issued shortly after the Fire of 1666 preserves a record of the medieval street-plan, dotted with churches and public buildings, as well as giving a glimpse of the unburned areas.1 Although the Fire destroyed most of the historic core of London, the need to rebuild the burnt city generated numerous surveys, plans, and written accounts of individual properties, and stimulated the production of a new and large-scale map of the city in 1676.2 Late-seventeenth-century maps of London included more of the spreading suburbs, east and west, while outer Middlesex was covered in rather less detail by county maps such as that of 1667, published by Richard Blome [Fig. 5]. In addition to the visual representations of mid-seventeenth-century London, a wider range of documentary sources for the city and its people becomes available to the historian. -
Farringdon Road, London, EC1R 3EA
66-86 Farringdon Road, London, EC1R 3EA Independent Viability Review 28th June 2016 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 We have been instructed by Islington Borough Council (‘the Council’) to undertake an independent Viability Review of an April 2016 Viability Assessment that has been prepared by GVA Bilfinger (‘GVA’), in respect of a proposed redevelopment of 66-86 Farringdon Road, London, EC1R 3EA (‘the Site’). 1.2 Together with office agency Crossland Otter Hunt, we previously provided an “Independent Assessment of Office Market Report”, in September 2015, which concluded essentially that the office market is buoyant in the Site’s location and that there is the potential for an office-led scheme in this location to be feasible, subject to this being viability-tested and taking into account site specific circumstances. 1.3 The Site is 0.52 acres and accommodates a multi-storey car park located in the Clerkenwell area, on the eastern side of Farringdon Road. It is circa 1 mile north-west of the City of London and is close to Farringdon Underground Station. It is an ‘island site’ and is bounded by Vineyard Walk to the north, Farringdon Road to the west, Bowling Green Lane to the south, and two-storey terrace houses (known as Catherine Griffiths Court) to the east. 1.4 The current planning application has been submitted by Whitbread Group (the applicant), in collaboration with their development partner, Endurance Land, and entails the following works: “Demolition of existing multi-storey car park and redevelopment to provide a five (plus basement)/ six storey building comprising 3,647 (GEA) / 3,350 (GIA) sq m office floor space (Class B1 Use), 180 bedroom hotel (Class C1 Use) and 407 (GEA)/ 373 (GIA) sq m retail/restaurant floor space (Class A1/A3 Use) with associated facilities, plant, landscaping and servicing”. -
A JOURNAL of the PLAGUE YEAR (Revisited Classics)1
HYGEIA, Revista Brasileira de Geografia Médica e da Saúde - www.hygeia.ig.ufu.br/ ISSN: 1980-1726 A JOURNAL OF THE PLAGUE YEAR (revisited classics)1 By Daniel Defoe being observations or memorials of the most remarkable occurrences, as well public as private, which happened in London during the last great visitation in 1665. Written by a Citizen who continued all the while in London. Never made public before It was about the beginning of September, 1664, that I, among the rest of my neighbors, heard in ordinary discourse that the plague was returned again in Holland; for it had been very violent there, and particularly at Amsterdam and Rotterdam, in the year 1663, whither, they say, it was brought (some said from Italy, others from the Levant) among some goods which were brought home by their Turkey fleet; others said it was brought from Candia; others, from Cyprus. It mattered not from whence it came; but all agreed it was come into Holland again. We had no such thing as printed newspapers in those days, to spread rumors and reports of things, and to improve them by the invention of men, as I have lived to see practiced since. But such things as those were gathered from the letters of merchants and others who corresponded abroad, and from them was handed about by word of mouth only; so that things did not spread instantly over the whole nation, as they do now. But it seems that the government had a true account of it, and several counsels were held about ways to prevent its coming over; but all was kept very private. -

Geography, Background Information, Civil Parishes and Islands
Geography – Background Information – Civil Parishes and Islands Civil Parishes Geography Branch first began plotting postcode boundaries in 1973. In addition to the creation of postcode boundaries, Geography Branch also assigned each postcode to an array of Scottish boundary datasets including civil parish boundaries. From 1845 to 1930, civil parishes formed part of Scotland’s local government system. The parishes, which had their origins in the ecclesiastical parishes of the Church of Scotland, often overlapped the then existing county boundaries, largely because they reflected earlier territorial divisions. Parishes have had no direct administrative function in Scotland since 1930. In 1930, all parishes were grouped into elected district councils. These districts were abolished in 1975, and the new local authorities established in that year often cut across civil parish boundaries. In 1996, there was a further re-organisation of Scottish local government, and a number of civil parishes now lie in two or more council areas. There are 871 civil parishes in Scotland. The civil parish boundary dataset is the responsibility of Geography Branch. The initial version of the boundaries was first created in the mid-1960s. The boundaries were plotted on to Ordnance Survey 1:10,000 maps using the written descriptions of the parishes. In the late 1980s Geography Branch introduced a Geographic Information System (called ‘GenaMap’) to its working practices. At this point the manually-plotted civil parish boundaries were digitised using the GenaMap system. In 2006, GenaMap was replaced by ESRI’s ArcGIS product, and the civil parish boundaries were migrated to the new system. At this stage, the Ordnance Survey digital product MasterMap was made available as the background map for Geography Branch’s digitising requirements. -
Thanington Without Civil Parish and Council As Seen
THANINGTON WITHOUT CIVIL PARISH AND COUNCIL AS SEEN FROM THEIR MINUTE BOOKS 1894-1994 - AN INITIAL ASSESSMENT By Clive. H. Church ‘Rufflands’ 72A New House Lane, Canterbury CT 4 7BJ 01227-458437 07950-666488 [email protected] Originally posted on the website of Thanington Without Civil Parish Council on 4 April 2005 in PDF and HMTL versions. Subsequently updated and illustrated in 2014. For the original see http://www.thanington-pc.gov.uk/pchistory/history.html 1 THANINGTON WITHOUT CIVIL PARISH AND COUNCIL, AS SEEN FROM THEIR MINUTE BOOKS, 1894-1994 Tracing the development of a parish and its council is not easy. Neither constituents nor historians pay them much attention. Despite its importance in the past, local government is not now well regarded thanks to the centralization and mediaization of British political culture. Moreover, although there are many sources, including the recollections of parishioners, they are often not easily available. And memories are often fallible. However, we can get some way towards understanding them through their minute books. For, while these are far from complete records, they do allow us an insight into the organization and attitudes of a council as it emerged from the changing pattern of local government in England. For civil parishes have never been able to decide their own organization. This has been laid down by national legislation. In other words, they are creatures of Parliament. In the case of Thanington Without the minute books allow us to trace the evolution of both the original Parish Meeting and its successor and, after 1935, of the Parish Council itself. -
