Charter Quay, Kingston ... excavations and other archaeological w o r k 1 9 9 8 - 9 Introduction Redevelopment of a 1.65 ha site in Kingston provided a rare opportunity for large- scale excavations by Wessex Archaeology within the core of the medieval town, funded by St George West London Ltd. Earlier fieldwork between 1988 and 1990 both north and south of the Hogsmill River had revealed several medieval waterfront revetments, and a c 0.55 ha excavation south of Emms Passage between the High Street and the Thames waterfront provided evidence of industrial, commercial and domestic activity, and phases of flooding and reclamation. More recent excavations in late 1998 examined a large area south of the Hogsmill River (Trenches 1 and 2) with limited trial work north of it. After Emms Passage was closed, two further areas were investigated in January 1999 immediately adjacent to Trenches 1 and 2, and a watching brief was undertaken during the basementing for a car park south of the Hogsmill River. The latest excavations from March to June 1999 were restricted to land north of the Hogsmill River and began with two more trial trenches and a small excavation undertaken during demolition.

  • Railways List
    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

The great Ren­ aissance artist followed the convention of his time and showed the early Christian scholar not in a fifth-century setting-nor in Bethlehem, where he really lived- but in a study whose furnishings were typical of Durer's Nuremberg at the begin­ ning of the sixteenth century. We see an old man bent over his writing in the corner of a room. Light enters through a large leaded-glass window in an arched opening. A low bench stands against the wall under the window. Some tasseled cushions have been placed on it; upholstered seating, in which the cushion was an integral part of the seat, did not appear until a hundred years later. The wooden table is a medieval design-the top is separate from the underframe, and by removing a couple of pegs the whole thing can be easily disassembled when not in use. A back-stool, the precursor of the side chair, is next to the table. The tabletop is bare except for a crucifix, an inkpot, and a writing stand, but personal possessions are in evidence else­ Albrecht DUrer, St. Jerome in His where.

  • Fishers Farm
    1 Fishers Farm Listing The house is Grade II * listed, the description being as follows: House. C15 with C17 extensions to the rear, late C18 front. Timber framed core, brick cladding, red brick to the rear, yellow to front; plain tiled hipped roofs with centre ridge stack to front and large diagonal stacks with moulded tops to the rear. Main front with 2 rear wings at right angles with lobby entrance. 2 storeys, brick hand over ground floor and to base of parapet, quoined angles. 5 bays to front, glazing bar sash windows under gauged camber heads; blocked window on red brick surround with cill brackets to first floor centre. Central six panelled door, with traceried fanlight in a surround of Doric half columns supporting an open pediment. C19 single storey weatherboard addition to the right. Rear: two wings connected by arched entrance screen wall, brick bands over the ground floor. Interior: Extensive framing of substantial scantling exposed in left wing, deep brick fireplaces with wooden lintels. Fine Jacobean style staircase with turned balusters, scroll spiked newel posts and SS carving to underside of staircase arch 2 Period The listing suggests the date of the first build as being in the 15th century which would place the original house in the Medieval period. The front certainly looks to be an added 18th century one. Assuming the 15th century date to be correct, one would expect to find a hipped roof see photograph above with flatways rafters and/or flat joists plus jowled posts. Although the reported earliest known date of 1527 is in the Tudor period, there is no reason why the house should not be earlier.

  • THE START of the NECROPLOLIS Iain Wakeford 2015
    ast January, in these articles, I started to look at the history of Woking in a way that most local history newspaper columns don’t (or cannot) now do. I wanted to get away from the normal superficial ‘peep’ into history and look a bit deeper at some L of the facts. For over thirty years I have been writing books and booklets about the history and heritage of Woking, so rather than just cobble together readers’ reminiscences’, I wanted to give my column some structure – to tell a more complete history of Woking (if a subject such as history can ever be complete). Starting with the geology and geography, I moved slowly onto the prehistoric before tackling the history of the area from the ‘Dark Ages’ onwards in an almost chronological order. Arthur Locke followed a similar approach many years ago, with readers cutting out and keeping his series of articles on ‘Woking Past’. At the end of last year we reached the 1840’s and 50’s and as well as looking at local chapels and schools, I touched upon the London Necropolis Company and Brookwood Cemetery (now owned by Woking Council). Over the next few months (if not years) I intend to tackle the subject of Woking ‘Past and Present’ in even more detail, beginning this week with a more detailed look at the Necropolis and why it came to Woking. THE START OF THE NECROPLOLIS Iain Wakeford 2015 The original plan for a cemetery on the whole of Woking n the first half of the 19th century the Common used Woking Station with private halts and But these new cemeteries themselves only had population of London had increased from chapels along the main line.
