  • Pepys City and South Bank Walk
    Samuel Pepys’ Walk through the western City of London and the South Bank Distance = 3 miles (5 km). Estimated duration = 3 – 4 hours • Nearest underground stations. This is planned to start from St Paul’s but is a circular route and can easily be reached instead from Bank station, Monument station and London Bridge station. • Best to go during the week – many buildings, and even most churches, and also most pubs, are closed at weekends. • We'll also visit features that have no connection with Pepys provided they are on the route. • It’s a good idea to buy a one-day bus pass or travel card if you don’t already have one, so that you needn’t walk the whole route but can jump on and off any bus going in your direction. • This is based around the Pepys Diary website at www.pepysdiary.com and your photographs could be added to the Pepys group collection here: www.flickr.com/ groups/pepysdiary • And if you aren't in London at present, perhaps you'd like to attempt a "virtual tour" through the hyperlinks, or alternatively explore London via google streetview, the various BBC London webcams or these ones, which are much more comprehensive. Best of all, zoom in and out of this fantastic photograph. London is changing all the time, so if you find anything that is out of date or can suggest any improvements to the Walk, then I’d be very grateful if you would send me an email about it to [email protected] .

Although the physical destruction was great, the coercive effect on the leadership of these states was questionable. However, in 1991, air attacks of negligible military or destructive value against cities in Israel imperiled the very existence of the allied coalition arrayed against Saddam Hussein. If large, continuous, destructive air attacks against civilian targets did not work in the past, why should small, brief, minimally destructive attacks coerce leaders now? This thesis examines three campaigns during which aerial terror raids, peripheral to the main war efforts and incapable of destroying the enemy war-making capacity, elicited disproportionate reactions from the targeted leaderships.

  • The Stour Valley Heritage Compendia the Historic Landscape Compendium
    The Stour Valley Heritage Compendia The Historic Landscape Compendium by Howard Brooks BA MIfA FSA THE HISTORIC LANDSCAPE COMPENDIUM Acknowledgements No writing is entirely a fresh creation and this less than most. The extent to which I have drawn the superb Historical Atlas of Suffolk (Dymond and Martin 1999) is evident in the list of references below, but I have also used extensively the comprehensive and detailed Stour Valley Landscape Partnership’s Historical Landscape Study (Amstutz, Blake, et al, 2008), which forms the backbone of Section 4 of this chapter of the Compendium. It would be invidious to pick out any authors whose landscape work is prominent here, but the giants tend to be visible anyway. Norman Scarfe is perhaps the grandfather of Suffolk landscape studies, and he has worthy followers in the outstanding staff of the Suffolk County Archaeology Service – County Archaeologist Stanley West, his successor Keith Wade, and Judith Plouviez. But I would particularly like to mention one man whose work underpins so much of what I have drawn on here, and that is Edward Martin. At a national level, Christopher Taylor, Tom Williamson, and more recently Stephen Rippon, are pre- eminent among landscape archaeologists. In Essex, the County Archaeologists David Buckley and Owen Bedwin oversaw a period in which much landscape archaeology was carried out, and the work of John Hunter who was then head of Environmental Services at ECC deserves wider recognition. Amateur archaeologists have always played a major role in detecting and exploring local archaeological sites. To mention a few, the Colchester Archaeological Group and the Haverhill Archaeological Groups, Mike Matthews in Cornard, and the Nayland Fieldwalking Group under John and June Wallace.
