According to the organisers of the London Map Fair held at Olympia on 8•" T and 9•" June there were more visitors than last year, at least on the Friday. One of the reasons may be that lMCoS had rescheduled its programme to avoid clashing with the Friday opening hours. Our annual dinner on the evening of the 8 June had slightly fewer participants than last year but was as pleasant as ever. Tony Campbell and his award committee managed to select a most worthy recipient for the IMCoS - H elen Wallis Award in Peter Barber (head of map collections at the British Libraty). Luring him to attend the dinner was an exercise in itself but fortunately he was there to hear Tony's laudat01y speech. W c offer Peter our sincere congratulations.

OXFORD TO CRICKLADE NB: going upstream Oxford LEAVING Folly Bridge, winding along the river past the Oxford Gas-works, and passing under the line of the G.W.R., we soon come to Osney Lock (falls ft. 6 in.), close by which was the once-famous Abbey. There is nothing left to attest its former magnificence and arrest our progress, so we soon come to Botley Bridge, over which passes the western road fro Oxford to Cheltenham , Bath , &c.; and a little higher are four streams, the bathing-place of "Tumbling bay" being on the westward one. Keeping straight on, Medley Weir is reached (falls 2 ft.), and then a long stretch of shallow water succeeds, Godstow Lock until we reach Godstow Lock. Godstow Lock (falls 3 ft. 6 in., pay at Medley Weir) has been rebuilt, and the cut above deepened, the weeds and mud banks cleared out, so as to leave th river good and navigable up to King's Weir.

At this date copyright is owned by the author. Signature ……………………………………………… Date ……………………………………………… ABSTRACT During the interwar period, a radical departure from earlier traditional management practices in British department stores can be identified. Increasing trade, combined with the introduction of new systems and stock, required a dramatic increase in the number and calibre of managers employed to run the shops. Using a case study approach, this thesis will identify the reasons for the implementation of a new recruitment and employment strategy. For the John Lewis Partnership, it considers how this translated into jobs and opportunities for middle-class educated women, a group of workers whose experience of the work place has previously received little academic attention.

With this in mind Peter Carver has kindly provided the following report:- An Archaeological Excavation behind 90 High Street, Marlow . Marlow High Street has a rich heritage. We know that it was at the heart of the medieval town, that many property boundaries follow the original Medieval burgage plots, and that much may survive beneath the modern town (for more information, see Marlow Historic Town Assessment at http://www.buckscc.gov.uk/media/130576/marlow_report.pdf ).

Date………………13 October 2016 ………………… On behalf of Maidenhead Heritage Trust 1 Name of museum: Maidenhead Heritage Centre Name of governing body: Maidenhead Heritage Trust Date on which this policy was approved by governing body: 8 October 2016 Policy review procedure: The collections development policy will be published and reviewed from time to time, at least once every five years. Date at which this policy is due for review: 8 October 2020 Arts Council England will be notified of any changes to the collections development policy, and the implications of any such changes for the future of collections. 1. Relationship to other relevant policies/plans of the organisation: 1.1. The purpose of the Maidenhead Heritage Centre is to advance the formal and informal education of the public in the history of Maidenhead and district, by the collection, preservation, interpretation of, and provision of intellectual access to, relevant objects, images and archives. 1.2. The governing body will ensure that both acquisition and disposal are carried out openly and with transparency. 1.3. By definition, the museum has a long-term purpose and holds collections in trust for the benefit of the public in relation to its stated objectives. The governing body therefore accepts the principle that sound curatorial reasons must be established before consideration is given to any acquisition to the collection, or the disposal of any items in the museum’s collection. 1.4. Acquisitions outside the current stated policy will only be made in exceptional circumstances.
