Parishioners are being consulted this month over whether all roads within the Ring Road should be restricted to 20mph. At present they have a speed limit of 30mph. The St Helier Roads Committee has supported such a move but wishes to consult parishioners before asking the Minister of the Department for Infrastructure to make the necessary law change. Some additional signage would be required and both the Honorary and States of Jersey Police would need to carry out enforcement to ensure the new limits were complied with.

    NEWSLETTER OF THE THEATRE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Volume 17, Number 1/Volume 17, Number 2 SPECIAL DOUBLE ISSUE Summer/Fa111989 EXHIBITION SURVEYS MANHATTAN'S EARLY THEATRE HISTORY L An exhibition spotlighting three early New York theatres was on view in the Main I Gallery of The New York Public Library at Lincoln Center from February 13, 1990 through March 31, 1990. Focusing on the Park Theatre on Park Row, Niblo's Garden on Broadway and Prince Street, and Wal- lack's, later called the Star, on Broadway and 13th Street, the exhibition attempted to show, through the use of maps, photo- graphic blowups, programs and posters, the richness of the developing New York theatre scene as it moved northward from lower Manhattan. The Park Theatre has been called "the first important theatre in the United States." It opened on January 29, 1798, across from the Commons (the Commons is now City Hall Park-City Hall was built in 1811). The opening production, As You Like It, was presented with some of the fin- est scenery ever seen. The theatre itself, which could accommodate almost 2,000, was most favorably reviewed. It was one of the most substantial buildings erected in the city to that date- the size of the stage was a source of amazement to both cast and audience. In the early nineteenth century, to increase ticket sales, manager Stephen Price introduced the "star sys- tem" (the importation of famous English stars). This kept attendance high but to some extent discouraged the growth of in- digenous talent. In its later days the Park was home to a fine company, which, in addition to performing the classics, pre- sented the work of the emerging American playwrights.

  • Arthur Conan Doyle and London Transcript
    "A Stout Heart in the Great Cesspool": Arthur Conan Doyle and London Transcript Date: Monday, 2 July 2012 - 1:00PM Location: Museum of London 2 July 2012 Arthur Conan Doyle and London Richard Burnip An Introduction by Professor Tim Connell [PIC 1] London at the start of the Nineteenth Century was a city of superlatives. The largest population, the biggest port, the biggest concentration of industry. It had expanded rapidly in three quarters of a century from a population of one million to an unheard-of three million, forty per cent of whom had not been born in London.[i] [PIC 2] George Cruikshank’s celebrated picture of 1826 shows Islington growing out into the open country of Hampstead, creating comfortable suburbs for a growing middle class, but leaving in the centre a maelstrom of the indigent poor and downright criminal, in overcrowded and insanitary conditions.[ii] [PIC3] Oyster Day was one of the older traditions that still survived, though oysters were, of course, a standard food for the very poor. [PIC 4]Charles Booth's study was published in 1889 under the title 'Life and Labour of the People in London' and eventually ran to nine volumes. This map was included in the published work. Using a colour code, the map represents varying levels of poverty in different districts across London: for example, Dark blue stands for 'Very poor. Casual, chronic want', while Black stands for 'Lowest class. Vicious, semi criminal.'[iii] Booth's study took into account a wide variety of subjects: working conditions, education, wage levels, workhouses, religion, and police, to name a few.

  • Why a Second Sherlock Holmes Story? NOTE: My Recent Research
    Why a second Sherlock Holmes story? NOTE: My Sherlock Holmes stories were inspired by a wonderful photo of Frederick Leach (David Parr’s employer) and his assembled workers taken, in 1882, on a day out to Clayhithe. The men are arranged in rows, like a college photo. One man stands out from all the others because of his physique and his hat. The man is tall, has a Holmesian quality, and, most importantly, is the only one wearing a deerstalker. The wearer is none other than David Parr. Incredibly, both men were born in 1854. David Parr was born on 19th July 1854 and in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s story ‘His Last Bow’, set in 1914, Sherlock Holmes is described as sixty years of age - his birthday is 6th January. An illustration of Sherlock Holmes by Sidney Paget for The Strand Magazine My recent research threw up an interesting connection between Sir Arthur Conan Doyle/Sherlock Holmes and the Pre-Raphaelites – David Parr and Frederick Leach worked on several prestigious commissions for William Morris, who, together with his artistic friends from Oxford, were adopted as second generation Pre-Raphaelites. But, like all good tales, I shall start at the beginning… February 2020, I consulted Edward Burne-Jones’s (EB-J) notebook in the Fitzwilliam Museum’s collection as part of my research for the David Parr House. The notebook lists the work he produced by year. It is frustratingly brief and raises as many questions as it answers, for example, his patrons are listed only by surname. More than a hundred years after the last entry, they no longer carry the same meaning without reaching for reference books.

  • Legrand-Mastersthesis-2018
    Chapter I: Introduction For many individuals, learning about a historical figure like Queen Victoria will be through viewing visual medias like film and television miniseries. With the general public using films and television miniseries to acquire historical knowledge the means to analyze and assess this form of study is impertinent. Even after her death, Queen Victoria remains a popular figure often depicted in films and television miniseries due to her long life and her paradoxical role as sovereign. Part of this film analysis is to evaluate Queen Victoria’s agency and her intentions to make a particular effect on her family and the monarchy. Queen Victoria’s agency is analyzed through films and television miniseries because of the visual representations of how filmmakers interpret Victoria’s life and how she approaches events during her reign. By using the representa- tions of Queen Victoria in films and television miniseries, I apply historical and film analysis to examine how filmmakers have communicated a specific interpretation of Queen Victoria and her agency. Films and television miniseries also depict Queen Victoria’s relationship with her family members, politicians and subjects, which can be interpreted and analyzed to understand her agency in a boarder context. The films and television miniseries have an added historical value by depicting a wider cultural, social and political context of Queen Victoria’s life and how filmmakers interpret her agency. In this thesis, agency refers to Victoria’s actions and interventions to the social, political and cultural factors that are viewed in the films and miniseries. How Victoria asserted herself throughout her life is viewed in the films and miniseries selected for this thesis.
