  • Town, and Had Identified a Site for the Church on His Land by 1865
    FOLKESTONE & DISTRICT LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY www.folkestonehistory.org Registered Charity No. 295994 NEWSLETTER No. 80 – Autumn 2019 CHAIRMAN’S REPORT by Alan F Taylor. At the June meeting we welcomed member speaker Hilary Tolputt who was going to take us on a Guided tour of Holy Trinity Church, but due inclement weather the light was very poor so Hilary used her power-point presentation instead. Hilary started with the early history of the church she said it was aptly known as ‘the church in the fields’. William, 3rd Earl of Radnor had ambitious plans for the development of the west end of the town, and had identified a site for the church on his land by 1865. The church was built in stages as the houses around were contracted. The 1868 building consisted of just the nave and chancel without transepts. The first vicar was the Revd Charles J. Taylor, and the curate, the Revd H. M. Roxby, officiated at the first services held by licence on 13th June 1868. The Archbishop of Canterbury consecrated the church on 29th July 1868. In addition a vicarage was constructed in 1870 at a cost of £2,056 next to the church; this site is now occupied by Cordova Court. The second phase was finished in 1882 with the building of the south aisle and transept, and the third stage in 1888 with the completion of the north aisle, north transept, the tower with spire and north porch, all to the plans of the architect Ewan Christian, and builders of the three stages were Robert Baker, Henry Clemmans, and Cornish & Gayner.

Three of them were major and two of them were minor, but the 2011 riot was by far the largest in scale. The riot originally started in Tottenham and spread to a number of other boroughs in London over the next few days. Later on, unrest appeared in other major English cities as well. For these reasons, talking about the 2011 Brixton riot is somewhat misleading, even though it is a term which was used by various media outlets for a short period of time. At the moment, the two prevalent terms used with regard to the riots are the 2011 Tottenham riot and the 2011 England riots.

Before we can answer our big question, we need to know what the position of women was like at the beginning of the 20th century. This will help us judge when the biggest change (turning point) in the position of women took place. Look at the postcard below. It was made in the early 1900s and shows what a lot of people thought about women at the time. Answer the questions in order (1, 2, 3…) filling up the boxes with as many ideas as you can.

  • Subject Guide
    Subject Guide UPRISINGS Ref. PHOTOS/57 Ref. MCKENLEY/4/1 Ref. EPHEMERA/45 Background This guide covers the uprisings of the 1980s which were primarily caused by racism and hostility towards Black and ethnic minority communities. Although there has been a Black presence in Britain for many centuries, the large numbers of Black immigrants at the end of the Second World War caused an overwhelming reaction of hostility and hatred. This culminated in an environment of open aggression and opposition by the White population towards the rights of Black and ethnic minority communities to live in Britain and enjoy the benefits of citizenship. In addition to the racism faced by many on a daily basis, there were key sources of tension which sparked the riots of the 1980s based on policing attitudes and difficult employment and economic conditions. Policing Strict policing, or over-policing, of urban areas and the use of police powers such as stop and search, which was also known as the ‘Sus Law’ became a main point of contention. These powers were granted under the 1824 Vagrancy Act and gave the police power to stop and search citizens who were considered to be ‘loitering with intent’ without any evidence. Stop and search powers disproportionately targeted young African-Caribbean men, who felt that they were being harassed and victimised by the police. The police used the tactic of high-profile, visible policing in urban areas to try and stem the threat of street crime, such as mugging, which was stereotyped as being perpetrated by young Black men, most notably in Brixton under ‘Operation Swamp’.

The Institute's mission is to develop knowledge about crime, its causes and control. Priority is given to policy-relevant research that can yield approaches and information that State and local agencies can use in preventing and reducing crime. The decisions made by criminal justice practitioners and policymakers affect millions of citizens, and crime affects almost all our public institutions and the private sector as well. Targeting resources, assuring their effective allocation, and developing new means of cooperation between the public and private sector are some of the emerging issues in law enforcement and criminal justice that research can help illuminate. Carrying out the mandate assigned by Congress in the Justice Assistance Act of 1984, the National [nstitute of JL.stice: o Sponsors research and development to improve and strengthen the criminal justice system and related civil justice aspects, with a balanced program of basic and applied research. o Evaluates the effectiveness of justice improvement programs and identifies pro­ grams that promise to be successful if continued or repeated. {} Tests 'and demonstrates new and improved approaches to strengthen the justice system, and recommends actions that can be taken by Federal, State, and local governments arid private organizations and individuals to achieve this goal.

Ready to travel back to a monumental moment in British history? Then let's start travelling back in time and learn about the time when women fought for the right to vote! WhatWhat was was a a suffragette? suffragette? A suffragette was a member of an activist women's organisations in the early 20th century The term refers in who, under the banner particular to members of "Votes for Women", the British Women's fought for the right to Social and Political vote in public elections, Union (WSPU), a known as women's women-only movement suffrage. founded in 1903 by Emmeline Pankhurst, which engaged in direct action and civil disobedience. How the suffragettes used fashion to further their cause Dress is a powerful form of communication. No-one knew this better than the media-savvy leadership of the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU). The suffragettes wanted to avoid accusations of eccentricity or spinsterish masculinity. They recognised their best chance of winning the vote was to align themselves, at least outwardly, with Edwardian ideals of femininity, even if they were engaging in defiantly unladylike activities under the radar. The WSPU was also canny enough to learn from the mistakes of previous generations. The fight for female emancipation had been going on for decades. In the 19th century, the drive for equality became closely associated with the dress reform movement, which sought to free women from the constriction of a Victorian silhouette, with its attendant corsetry and crinolines.
