His copper-alloy key gives him entry to a house that, from the copper flashings on the roof right down to the copper damp-proof course, will be a healthy,- comfortable, convenient place to live in— because of copper. Good building, plumbing, heating and lighting depend so much on copper! I t ’s m o r e t h a n l ik e l y there’s some job that copper or its alloys can do better for you. Think of the ‘plusses’ that make copper right for such a wide range of jobs-its resistance to corrosion, its thermal and electrical conductivity, its combination of toughness with ease of fabrication. If any of these qualities can serve your needs, if you have a problem to solve or an idea to develop, consult the Copper Development Association. A store of up-to-date information and practical advice is yours for the asking. LET COPPER CO-OPERATE COPPER DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION.

  • Bankside Power Station: Planning, Politics and Pollution
    BANKSIDE POWER STATION: PLANNING, POLITICS AND POLLUTION Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Stephen Andrew Murray Centre for Urban History University of Leicester 2014 Bankside Power Station ii Bankside Power Station: Planning, Politics and Pollution Stephen Andrew Murray Abstract Electricity has been a feature of the British urban landscape since the 1890s. Yet there are few accounts of urban electricity undertakings or their generating stations. This history of Bankside power station uses government and company records to analyse the supply, development and use of electricity in the City of London, and the political, economic and social contexts in which the power station was planned, designed and operated. The close-focus adopted reveals issues that are not identified in, or are qualifying or counter-examples to, the existing macro-scale accounts of the wider electricity industry. Contrary to the perceived backwardness of the industry in the inter-war period this study demonstrates that Bankside was part of an efficient and profitable private company which was increasingly subject to bureaucratic centralised control. Significant decision-making processes are examined including post-war urban planning by local and central government and technological decision-making in the electricity industry. The study contributes to the history of technology and the environment through an analysis of the technologies that were proposed or deployed at the post-war power station, including those intended to mitigate its impact, together with an examination of their long-term effectiveness. Bankside made a valuable contribution to electricity supplies in London until the 1973 Middle East oil crisis compromised its economic viability.

  • Sands End Revisited a Local History Guide
    SANDS END REvisitED A Local HISToRy GuIDE We found useful information at the Archive and Local History centre in Hammersmith. There were people that came into school and helped us with our research because they had been residents in Sands End or pupils at Langford many years ago. We also went to Elizabeth Barnes Court Old People’s home to hear more stories and memories of people who knew Sands End in the past. Some of the places in Sands End are named after people that lived here, for example Bagley’s Lane, is named after the Bagley family, locally well known for market gardening and were called the ‘Kings of Fulham’. Elaysha This local history guide about the Sands End area, has been compiled by Y6 from Langford Primary school. Working in partnership with Hammersmith and Fulham Urban Studies Centre, LBHF’s Archives and Local History Centre, and local interest group Sands End Revisited, Oak class became ‘History Detectives’ and were taken back in time to discover the stories of Sands End and the changes that have taken place over the years. By visiting local landmarks, such as the Community Centre on Broughton Road - which was once the old Sunlight laundry - examining old photos at the Archives, and sharing the memories of former local residents and pupils of Langford School, the children discovered a wealth of information, learnt about the changes that have taken place over the years and tried to uncover any secrets about the local area. The stories presented here are a mixture of fact, personal experience, and maybe a little bit of urban myth thrown in to really get you thinking! Thanks to Heritage Lottery Fund for the grant to produce the project.
