  • National Capital Authority
    NATIONAL CAPITAL AUTHORITY Submission to House of Representatives Standing Committee on Environment and Heritage Sustainable Cities 2025 1. INTRODUCTION The National Capital Authority has prepared this submission in response to the inquiry by the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Environment and Heritage into issues and policies related to the development of sustainable cities to the year 2025. The Authority has been guided in its response by the Terms of Reference for the Inquiry provided by the Standing Committee: Terms of Reference • The environmental and social impacts of sprawling urban development; • The major determinants of urban settlement patterns and desirable patterns of development for the growth of Australian cities; • A ‘blueprint’ for ecologically sustainable patterns of settlement, with particular reference to eco-efficiency and equity in the provision of services and infrastructure; • Measures to reduce the environmental, social and economic costs of continuing urban expansion; and • Mechanisms for the Commonwealth to bring about urban development reform and promote ecologically sustainable patterns of settlement. The Authority’s submission provides the relevant background information on the Authority's role in planning and development in the ACT, and how the Authority both addresses and influences sustainability in its role to achieve ‘a National Capital which symbolises Australia’s heritage, values and aspirations, is internationally recognised, and which Australian’s are proud’. It sets out the provisions of the National Capital Plan applicable to sustainability and identifies initiatives undertaken by the Authority to create a more sustainable environment. 2. NATIONAL CAPITAL AUTHORITY The National Capital Planning Authority was established in 1989 as part of the introduction of self-government in the ACT, with a view to securing the Federal Government’s continuing interest in the planning and development of Canberra as Australia’s National Capital.

  • Interpreting Poverty and Punishment in British Prison Museums
    Law, Crime and History (2018) 1 INCARCERATING THE POOR: INTERPRETING POVERTY AND PUNISHMENT IN BRITISH PRISON MUSEUMS Dan Johnson1 Abstract This article will seek to understand how and why many prisoners interpreted in prison museums come from lower class backgrounds, and pose questions about how these interpretations contribute to or counter stereotypes about crime and poverty in Victorian England. The article will analyse the Victorian Prison at Lincoln Castle and the York Castle Museum because both sites present the history of punishment without any substantial collections on display, thus utilising creative techniques to present their histories to their visitors. The York Castle Museum presents the history of punishment at the site from 1706 to 1829, while the Victorian Prison at Lincoln Castle showcases its history as a separate system prison from 1848 to 1878. Through primary source material the museums create prison narratives that present the historic prisoners as victims of British society before social welfare. Keywords: museum studies, Lincoln Castle, York Castle, heritage studies, Victorian prison. Introduction Former Director of the Prison Reform Trust, Juliet Lyon asserted in 2016 that, ‘for far too long, prisons have been our most neglected, least visible public service.’2 Due to the invisible nature of the penal system, society relies on cultural representations to shape their views. These representations include literature, film, television, and the news. As people consume these media representations they begin to form their own views and opinions about crime and punishment. Juliet Lyon’s comment on the invisible nature of the current prison service is also true for the history of punishment in the UK.

Lady Nichola de la Haye Early evening on Friday 19th May 2017 Lady Nichola de la Haye greets you as she looks over the battlements of the East Gate of Lincoln Castle. She is the brave sixty year old noble woman and Constable who, just last year, had offered the keys to the castle back to King John. She told him she was too old to continue and thought he would choose someone else to defend the castle in the coming siege. King John refused as he had great faith in her. This proved correct as she gained a truce with the rebel forces in Lincoln in the summer of 1216.

  • Lincoln Cathedral: Building Timeline and Significant Historic Events
    Lincoln Cathedral: Building timeline and significant historic events Pre Conquest AD 60 After the AD43 invasion and occupation of Britain by the Romans under Claudius the 9th Legion, Hispana, built a fort here as their headquarters. 90The fort and subsequent settlement becomes a Colonia, (called Lindum) with forum and other important stone-built buildings. c. 150 Lindum population estimated to be between 6000 and 8000. Around this time the earth and timber city defences were rebuilt in stone, with four gateways. One of these gateways still partially survives as Newport Arch, the oldest surviving arch across a public road in Britain. c. 4th Outline of floorplan of St Paul in the Bail exposed by excavations close to the century forum. Thought to possibly date back to the time of the Roman occupation. 407The last of the Roman soldiers left Britain, by the end of the 5th century most, or all, of the towns inhabitants had fled, leaving the Roman buildings to decay and collapse. 839Fist records of Vikings attacking Lincoln. From 876 the Danes founded a settlement within the former Roman fort. 918Edward the Elder recaptured Lincoln during his successful campaign to reclaim all lands south of the Humber. 1013 Vikings capture Lincoln from the Saxons in a series of Danish and Norse raids, submission made to King Sweyn of Denmark. After the battle of Assundun in 1016 his son Canute becomes ruler of all England. Post Conquest 1068The King moved the Diocese from Dorchester on Thames to Lincoln in 1072. The Normans found Lincoln to be a mixed Saxon and Danish town within a Roman site.
