  • 'We Care Not a Fig, Who Is Lord Mayor of London, Or Tory Or Whig':1 Popular Political Culture in the City of London, C.1725
    ‘We care not a Fig, who is Lord Mayor of London, or Tory or Whig’: 1 Popular Political Culture in the City of London, c.1725-46 Eleanor Bland The Georgian City of London was a site of lively political activity, as Londoners from all walks of life engaged in formal and informal ways with political events and structures. This article provides a fresh perspective by examining City politics from the grass-roots level, from the streets and alleys of the City, revealing powerful internal City dialogues. The focus is on the period between the City Elections Act of 1725, and the repeal of its most unpopular provision, the Aldermanic veto, in 1746. This corresponds to an era of intense agitation both in the City, where political events were frequently the topic of newspaper reports and pamphlets, and nationwide, with mounting opposition to Prime Minister Robert Walpole and his corrupt ‘Whig Oligarchy’. The City, as Nicholas Rogers and Henry Horwitz argue, played a vital role in the national political opposition to Walpole’s deeply unpopular Excise Bill of 1733, and his 1739 treaty with Spain; these provoked widespread opposition as affronts to City merchants’ trading interests, making this a particularly turbulent period. 2 However, this study uncovers a groundswell of citizen political activism through an analysis of the dialogues of elections to the Common Council. The Corporation of London was governed by the Lord Mayor, the Court of Aldermen and the much larger Court of Common Council, the legislative body for civic matters. Common Council

  • Discontinuance of City Walkway: Bassishaw Highwalk (Part)
    Committee: Date: Planning and Transportation 18 September 2012 Subject: Public Discontinuance of City Walkway: Bassishaw Highwalk (Part) Report of: For Decision the Director of the Built Environment Ward: Bassishaw Summary The city walkway that forms that part of Bassishaw Highwalk to the south of the city walkway bridge over London Wall needs to be discontinued in order to allow works to take place to City Place House and City Tower, in accordance with the planning permission for these works. Pedestrian access to city walkways may only be restricted or prohibited for a maximum of three months. The works to City Place House and City Tower will take substantially longer than this, with works scheduled to continue until July 2013, and therefore to allow the works to take place safely, without public rights of access through a building site, it is necessary to discontinue the city walkway. Once the façade remodelling and public realm improvement works are complete the City will declare a replacement city walkway. The City has a written undertaking from the leaseholder and developer that that company will facilitate the City’s declaration of the replacement city walkway once the works are complete. Recommendation I RECOMMEND THAT the city walkway forming the southern part of Bassishaw Highwalk be discontinued with immediate effect; and that, in order to effect this, your Committee resolves as follows:— WHEREAS the Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London acting by the Planning and Transportation Committee pursuant to the delegation

Our thoughts and condolences are with his family. As I write this, the election campaign is in full swing. Is this what any of us want to be thinking about at this time of year? Probably not. But it was inevitable with the Government hamstrung as it was. My hope is that we get a decisive result and that the Brexit uncertainty can be ended. I am sure that those of you who are of the remain persuasion think otherwise! One way or the other, a resolution must be found so that we can all move forward together.

  • City of London Spatial Classification
    LONDON ELECTORAL HISTORY – STEPS TOWARDS DEMOCRACY 7.8 LONDON AND SPATIAL CLASSIFICATION Note: Following the LEH website conventions, ‘London’ refers to the parliamentary constituency. ‘City of London’ is the spatial entity O! [London’s] Lamps of a night! Her rich goldsmiths, print shops, toy shops, mercers, hardwaremen, pastry cooks! – St. Paul’s churchyard, the Strand! Exeter Change! – Charing Cross, with the man upon a black horse! – These are thy Gods O London – … All the streets and pavements are pure gold, I warrant you. – At least I know an Alchemy that turns her mud into that metal – a mind that loves to be at home in Crowds... .1 ‘London’ has long meant different things to different people. As Charles Lamb’s enthusiastic commentary indicated, it catered well for those who could cope with its crowds and diversity. Administrative London, the centre of national government, overlapped with the legal and legislative centres of the nation, while the West End became the seasonal playground of the well-to-do and the home of smart shops, with poor areas providing cheap labour tucked among the grandeur. Eastwards, commercial and financial London focused on the port and the City of London itself. It had a different appearance: of wharves and warehouses riverwards, and dwelling-places and nearby counting-houses. To take one literary example, Elizabeth Bennet’s uncle Gardiner was a City wholesaler, living, as Jane Austen specified, ‘by trade and within view of his own warehouses.’2 But over time, the City’s business premises were increasingly supplanting residential properties within the inner city, as the march of London into Middlesex provided accommodation for the teeming masses of the metropolis.

  • London Parish Life and the Great Fire of London A
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE The Parish Exposed: London Parish Life and the Great Fire of London A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History by Stephen Arthur Teske March 2015 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Thomas Cogswell, Chairperson Dr. Randolph Head Dr. Jonathan Eacott Copyright by Stephen Arthur Teske 2015 The Dissertation of Stephen Arthur Teske is approved: __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Throughout the process of writing this dissertation I have often been asked how I cope with the solitude of academic research. Reflecting on the process now, as it nears its end, it is abundantly clear how much writing a dissertation is a team sport. None of this could have been accomplished without Dr. Thomas Cogswell, who patiently guided me through this process from start to finish. If the reader finds any part of this dissertation engaging, it is almost certainly the result of Tom’s ear for a good story, and his never-ending drive to see that story completely extracted from the source material. I owe Dr. Randolph Head a significant debt, not only for his support of this project, but also for modeling the kind of diligence and rigor that makes academic research possible. I must thank Dr. Malcolm Baker for helping me to see structure and space as primary sources, and to Dr. Kristoffer Neville, for teaching me to engage with these sources. I cannot forget to thank Professor Jonathan Eacott who provided some much need last minute support for this project.
