Kingston Library and Heritage Service Strategy Annex 1 KINGSTON LIBRARY AND HERITAGE SERVICE STRATEGY 2017-2020 0 Annex 1 KINGSTON LIBRARY AND HERITAGE SERVICE STRATEGY 2017-2020 Introduction It is a time of unprecedented change for public services with the challenges of dealing with a growing population and doing so with less money. The Leader of the Council, Cllr Kevin Davis, reflected on this in his introduction to Destination Kingston 2016-20, outlining ​ ​ ‘...three main strategic challenges facing the Council: engagement, population growth and ​ ​ ​ ​ the budget.’ ​ ​ The Council, and the way we work, needs to become ‘more human’, where it matches the needs of all residents to the services that can be provided by a greater range of private, public and voluntary sector organisations. This vision is of a Council where services are publicly organised but not necessarily publicly delivered. This programme is also indicative of the type of new ‘Kingston family of services’ where Kingston based public services start to come closer together as a single point of contact, work together and even work out of the same buildings. The Library and Heritage Service is at the heart of the new way of working. Public libraries are community spaces where residents can access a wide range of activities and information and knowledgeable staff signpost to other community networks and services. Safe, welcoming spaces which are open evenings and weekends, libraries are the physical social spaces that bring people together and connect communities with the appropriate support and services they need. The Heritage service reaches out across communities, not only providing information on the rich history of the borough but also linking into areas of growth to provide residents with a sense of place. The Heritage Service helps us to understand and interpret our surroundings whilst enabling residents to add their stories to our long history and create a shared identity. This overarching document sets out the ambition for the Library and Heritage Service 2017-2020, outlining the activity of the service for the next 3 years and demonstrating how it delivers on the 3 areas of Our Kingston - Better Lives, A Great Place enabling Growth and ​ ​ Prosperity and Promoting Independence. Beneath it sit several documents which contain the detailed plans for each service area. Library and Heritage Service Strategy 2017-2020 Library Service Plan (yearly Heritage Forward Plan (up Heritage Storage Options 1 Annex 1 up to 2020) to 2020) Plan Services Background Kingston Library Service Kingston Library Service consists of 7 public libraries, the Community Library Service and an Acquisitions team. The 7 library buildings are spread geographically across the borough and are a mix of older, listed buildings and more modern buildings. Kingston Library Kingston Library is a Grade II listed building and opened on 11th May 1903. It was designed by Alfred Cox, who had won the competition against 65 other architecture firms, and was built by Messrs Gaze of Kingston. The total cost was £8,409, funded by Scottish-American philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie. The money the Council had intended to be spent on the ​ library was subsequently spent on the museum. New Malden Library New Malden Library opened on 2nd January 1941. It was cleverly designed with a strong central core, where people could shelter in an air raid. In the shape of a book if viewed from above, the library is Grade II listed. Surbiton Library Surbiton Library was built next to the Civic Offices and Fire Station, on Ewell Road, and opened on 6th April 1932. The library is a building of landscape merit. Hook and Chessington Library Based in the south of the borough, the Hook and Chessington Library is co-located with Kingston Music Service, community spaces and a cafe in the Hook Community Centre. Opened in 2007, it won a national ‘Heart of the Community’ award in 2008. Old Malden Library In a purpose built, low level building, Old Malden library is in a residential area serving the Old Malden area. Tolworth Library Housed in a shop front on Tolworth Broadway, Tolworth Library first opened in c1960. Tudor Drive Library In a purpose built, low level building first opened in 1951, Tudor Drive library is in a residential area serving the immediate community in the north of the borough. Community Library Service Based in an annex to Surbiton Library, the Community Library Service provide a delivery service to homebound residents. Providing a range of large print books, spoken word books 2 Annex 1 and activities such as jigsaws, the service regularly delivers materials to individuals and care homes. Acquisitions Also based in the annex at Surbiton Library, the Acquisitions team support the library service to acquire stock through a range of suppliers, other boroughs and the British Library. Opening Hours All 7 libraries are open 5 days a week including a Saturday. Two libraries close on a Monday (Hook and Chessington and Tolworth) and the rest close on a Wednesday. Every library has two late nights a week till 7pm with Hook and Chessington Library open until 8pm twice a week. Staffing Sitting within the Library and Heritage Service, the Library Service is split into two distinct areas, frontline staff and strategic staff. The frontline staff work in the libraries and deliver the core library service to the public. Currently this has a staffing complement of 31 FTE, split over 7 libraries. The strategic staff includes the management team, librarians, Community Library Service, Acquisitions team and support staff. It has a staff complement of 19.3 FTE working across 7 libraries. Kingston Heritage Service Kingston Heritage Service comprises of Kingston Museum and Kingston History Centre, which together are responsible for the acquisition, care, interpretation, access, and engagement of items relating to the heritage of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames (RBK), which have been created by, and entrusted to the care of the local authority. Kingston Museum is housed in a Grade II listed purpose-built Museum and Art Gallery, which adjoins Kingston Library and has been in this Carnegie enabled building since it was founded in 1904. Kingston History Centre is based in the Grade II listed former Magistrates Court in Kingston Guildhall, which is the main administrative building for RBK. This part of the Service opened as Kingston History Centre in October 2015 following major investment in refurbishing the building. Formerly the Local History Room based at the North Kingston Centre, the Service moved out of that building which became a school. With the closure of the North Kingston Centre, a temporary storage situation was sought and most of the collection moved to commercial storage in Oxfordshire in conjunction with the National Conservation Service. The Public Records which sit within the Archives Collection are in temporary storage with Surrey History Centre, which is an approved Place of Deposit. Opening Hours Kingston Museum’s opening hours are 10am-5pm Tuesday, Friday and Saturday with a late opening (10am-7pm) on Thursday and a lively programme of evening events extending these hours further. The Kingston History Centre is open 10am-5pm Wednesday to Saturday, with a late night opening until 7pm on Thursdays. 3 Annex 1 Both sites have special arrangements in place for school and community groups, talks, workshops and private views for the museum temporary exhibition programme. Staffing Sitting within the Library and Heritage Service, the Heritage Service has the equivalent of 6.7 FTE staff working over two sites and receives administrative support from Kingston Library Service. This works out to 2.3 FTE based at Kingston Museum, and 2.4 FTE based at the History Centre. There is a 1.0 Learning and Engagement Officer for the whole service, though the post is based at the Museum. The Heritage Team Leader and Borough Archivist is a 1.0 FTE post for the whole service, and is based at Kingston History Centre. Over both sites there are 23 dedicated regular volunteers that contribute over 3000 hours per year. In addition to this the Service runs student placement programmes and tailored volunteering programmes for Young People. The Friends of Kingston Museum and Heritage Service currently has approximately 200 members and is a registered charity. The Friends provide financial support as well as acting as advocates for the service. Library and Heritage Service Performance The Library and Heritage Service is well used and valued by the community and with potential to grow and improve. Libraries in particular in Kingston are bucking the national ​ trend with an increase in visitor numbers. Residents continue to be avid book readers and borrowers and Kingston Library service is one of the few in London where loans of library material are still higher than visits.

  • Eadweard Muybridge 1 Eadweard Muybridge
    Eadweard Muybridge 1 Eadweard Muybridge Eadweard Muybridge Born Edward James Muggeridge9 April 1830Kingston upon Thames, England Died 8 May 1904 (aged 74)Kingston upon Thames, England Resting place Woking, Surrey, England Nationality [1] British Ethnicity English Occupation Photographer Eadweard J. Muybridge ( /ˌɛdwərdˈmaɪbrɪdʒ/; 9 April 1830 – 8 May 1904) was an English photographer who spent much of his life in the United States. He is known for his pioneering work on animal locomotion which used multiple cameras to capture motion, and his zoopraxiscope, a device for projecting motion pictures that pre-dated the flexible perforated film strip.[2] Names Born Edward James Muggeridge, he changed his name several times early in his US career. First he changed his forenames to the Spanish equivalent Eduardo Santiago, perhaps because of the Spanish influence on Californian place names. His surname appears at times as Muggridge and Muygridge (possibly due to misspellings), and Muybridge from the 1860s. In the 1870s he changed his first name again to Eadweard, to match the spelling of King Edward shown on the plinth of the Kingston coronation stone, which was re-erected in Kingston in 1850. His name remained Eadweard Muybridge for the rest of his career.[3] However, his gravestone bears a further variant, Eadweard Maybridge. He used the pseudonym Helios (Greek god of the sun) on many of his photographs, and also as the name of his studio and his son's middle name.[4] Eadweard Muybridge 2 Early life and career He was born at Kingston-on-Thames, England on April 9, 1830. He emigrated to the US, arriving in San Francisco in 1855, where he started a career as a publisher's agent and bookseller.

  • History Policy
    History Policy NB: Throughout this document Latchmere Academy Trust may be abbreviated to “LAT” Reasons for studying History “If you would understand anything, observe its beginning and its development.” Aristotle “Whoever wishes to foresee the future must consult the past; for human events ever resemble those of preceding times. This arises from the fact that they are produced by men and women who ever have been, and ever shall be, animated by the same passions, and thus they necessarily have the same results.” Machiavelli In teaching history, we encourage pupils to understand more about themselves as individuals and as members of society. They learn to find evidence, weigh it up and reach their own conclusions. Our children enjoy a hands-on approach to history, using a range of artefacts and other information sources to investigate the past. Our focus for enquiry spans from investigating our own lives and past in the Foundation Stage to World War II in Year Six. In all our historical studies, we aim to bring to life characters from the past in order to motivate pupils and stimulate their imagination. Aims Our principal aim in the study of history is to stimulate pupils’ curiosity and interest in both the past and the present and to explore the relationship between them. We aim to help pupils to: . Build up an understanding of themselves and their place in society . Develop an interest in the past and an appreciation of human achievements and aspirations . Develop knowledge of chronology so they can organise their understanding of the past . Understand the values of their society and others .

  • Kingston Upon Thames Revisited July 2018
    © Robert J S Briggs 2018 – http://surreymedieval.wordpress.com – email [email protected] KINGSTON UPON THAMES REVISITED: FURTHER THOUGHTS ON ITS ORIGINS AND EARLY MEDIEVAL DEVELOPMENT Rob Briggs The June 2017 Medieval Studies Forum visit to Kingston upon Thames allowed those present to focus on one of the most important places in medieval Surrey. If anything, its importance was greater in the period before the Norman Conquest than after, given its sta- tus as the coronation site for at least two tenth-century kings and the named promulgation place of half a dozen known charters. The visit was also timely as 2017 saw the publica- tion of perhaps the most in-depth examination of the origin of the place-name, and by ex- tension of the early medieval settlement that first bore it. Jill Bourne’s book, The Place- name Kingston and Royal Power in Middle Anglo-Saxon England, brings to a conclusion a lengthy period of research that has previously generated a journal article (Bourne 1987-88) and a book chapter (Bourne 2012), in addition to the 2011 Nottingham PhD the- sis of which the new monograph is an updated version. In between these publications, other name-studies scholars proffered useful new contributions to the debate (Hough 1997; Probert 2008). That Bourne has been able to develop a thesis subsection into a whole book chapter dedi- cated to contemplating why Kingston upon Thames is such an anomaly among English place-names of the “Kingston”-type says something about the volume and complexity of the available evidence. Nevertheless, there are aspects of her argument that do not con- vince, and the purpose of this essay is to evaluate these and, by adding some new per- spectives into the debate, advance a new reading of the knotty body of evidence for Anglo- Saxon Kingston.
