If you have already given your email address to us but would rather not receive emails from LAMAS please let Karen Thomas know at [email protected]. If we do not hear from you, your address will be added to the list but you will be able to remove your address at any time by contacting Karen. Anyone who hasn’t already supplied an email address (usually via the application form) but would like to join the email group please also contact Karen. **************** Members for the LAMAS Local History Committee The LAMAS Local History Committee is seeking new members. The committee meets three times a year and in between times members carry forward the decisions of the committee. Whilst not essential it is useful for members to have an email address as there are often matters to discuss and agree between meetings. Members attend the committee as an individual member of LAMAS or as a representative of their affiliated Local History Society. The committee is responsible for presenting concerns specific to Local History to the LAMAS Council, and one individual member of LAMAS is delegated to attend the Council. More details of the committee are to be found on the local history pages of the LAMAS website. If you are interested in joining the committee, or know 3 of someone who might be, please get in touch with either; Eileen Bowlt, phone: 01895 638060, email: [email protected], or John Hinshelwood, phone: 020 8348 3375, email: johnhinshelwood@ btinternet.com John Hinshelwood, Local History Committee **************** Note from the Membership Secretary Many members will find a separate note about their subscription enclosed. Please note in addition: a) some members who previously paid by standing order sent us direct debits after the old standing order, at the old rate, had been paid. We have therefore only taken the difference for the year to 30.09.2013 by direct debit, in most cases on the last day of that year, that is, on 30.09.2013. b) members who gave LAMAS their direct debit mandate were charged with their subscription for 2013/14 at the current rate on 01.10.2013 as agreed. Some of the old standing orders, however, made by some members are continuing to be paid for the current year, to 30.09.2014, by their banks, as well as the direct debits. Where members think they have paid (in total) more than the correct rate for 2013/14 please kindly contact the membership secretary to ask for a refund. An agreed refund can be made by BACS or cheque as you prefer. We would be grateful if you would not ask your bank to cancel the payment which LAMAS has taken by direct debit although you are entitled to do this. This is because we incur an administration fee for refunds made in this way and we ask that you please allow us to refund you directly. Patricia Clarke, Honorary Subscriptions and Membership Secretary, 22 Malpas Drive, Pinner Middlesex HA5 1DQ (020 88661677) **************** Grants From the City of London Archaeological Trust The City of London Archaeological Trust (CoLAT) has recently redefined important aspects of its policies and rules for grant-giving. The purpose of CoLAT has always been to promote and support the archaeology of the City of London and its environs. On practical grounds, the policy in recent years has been to interpret the ‘environs’ as out to the M25. But the Trust has decided that it should concentrate on the City of London and any archaeological matter directly relating to the City’s development. Therefore the Trust will only support projects relating directly to the City. Applicants must demonstrate the significance of this link, rather than thinking any project close to London is suitable. This also means that applications from a wider area are allowed, from any 4 distance outside London. The Trust is also to consider applications for longer projects, of up to three years. The revised application guidelines and forms are available on the CoLAT website, www.colat.org.uk, John Schofield, Secretary, [email protected] **************** LAMAS Research Fund Grants 2013 It has been agreed by Council that once again the Society will not be offering a research grant this year. The money has previously been used to complete the digitisation of one hundred and fifty years of our Transactions from 1855-2005, thus making freely available all previous research published since our Society’s foundation. You can find them at www.lamas.org.uk/archives/index.html. The decision has been taken to further stabilise the funds of the council, since this digitisation project, before offering another grant. The Council plan to review this decision in the coming year, and will keep members abreast of any decision made. LAMAS Council **************** Ivor Noël Hume: the career of a Trans-Atlantic Archaeologist celebrated Ivor Noël Hume began his archaeological career as a volunteer at the City of London Guildhall Museum in 1949, where his lifelong interest in post- medieval archaeology started. Until 1957, he was the Guildhall Museum field archaeologist and managed with few resources to record numerous development sites including the Cheapside Roman baths (see LAMAS Trans 1976) and recover an important collection of Tudor metalwork from a well in Trump Street (see LAMAS Trans 2011). In 1957 Noël moved to the USA to excavate colonial Williamsburg. A tribute to his London achievements will appear in a future issue of the LAMAS Trans. Earlier this year former colleagues from England and beyond presented Noël with a festschrift entitled: ‘A Glorious Empire: archaeology and the Tudor-Stuart Atlantic World’ ed. Eric Klingelhofer, 2013, Oxbow Books (price £40) (Tel: 01865-241249). English contributions includes papers on watering pots from London, the Great Fire of London, clay tobacco pipes, North Devon Slipware, glass wine bottles, and Sir Arthur Ingram’s ring from York. Ian Blair and Bruce Watson **************** Tommy Steele becomes Local History Society’s first ever Patron The Rotherhithe & Bermondsey Local History Society on Wednesday (24th April) endorsed Tommy Steele, OBE, as its first ever Patron. At a 5 packed AGM in The Old Mortuary, Rotherhithe Village, members of the society which Tommy referred to as both ‘thoughtful and exciting’ voted unanimously in favour of the appointment. Outgoing Chairman, Michael Daniels, said “Tommy was born and bred in these parts and has often spoken of his affection for the neighbourhood in which he started out. He is an amazingly multi-talented individual who has been a household name for as long as I can remember, and I am delighted that he has agreed to become our first ever Patron.” The appointment also marks the conclusion of Michael Daniels’ six year stint as Chairman, a period which has seen the conversion of the organisation into an independent society and a near doubling of membership. Daniels goes on to become Vice President and is replaced at the helm by Claire Sexton. More information about the Rotherhithe & Bermondsey Local History Society, which organises talks and walks on the last Wednesday of the month, can be found on www.rbhistory.org.uk **************** Hornsey Historical Society World War One Centenary Hornsey Historical Society is planning a number of articles, etc.

  • John Hawkesworth Scope and Content
    JOHN HAWKESWORTH SCOPE AND CONTENT Papers relating to film and television producer, scriptwriter and designer JOHN STANLEY HAWKESWORTH. Born: London, 7 December 1920 Died: Leicester, 30 September 2003 John Hawkesworth was born the son of Lt.General Sir John Hawkesworth and educated at Rugby and Queen's College, Oxford. Between school and university he spent a year studying art at the Sorbonne in Paris, where Picasso corrected his drawings once a week. Following the military tradition of his family, Hawkesworth joined the Grenadier guards in 1940 and had a distinguished World War II record. In 1943 he married Hyacinth Gregson-Ellis and on demobilisation from the army began work in the film industry as an assistant to Vincent Korda. As art director he worked on many films for British Lion including The THIRD MAN (GB, 1949), OUTCAST OF THE ISLANDS (GB, 1951), and The SOUND BARRIER (GB, 1952). As a freelance designer he was involved with The MAN WHO NEVER WAS (GB, 1955) and The PRISONER (GB, 1955). Joining the Rank Organisation as a trainee producer, Hawkesworth worked on several films at Pinewood and was associate producer on WINDOMS WAY (GB, 1957) and TIGER BAY (GB, 1959). Hawkesworth's writing for television began with projects including HIDDEN TRUTH (tx 9/7/1964 - 6/10/1964), BLACKMAIL (Associated Rediffusion tx 1965 - 1966) and the 13 part BBC series CONAN DOYLE (tx 15/1/1967 - 23/4/1967), before embarking on the acclaimed LWT series The GOLDROBBERS (tx 6/6/1969 - 29/4/1969). It was with the latter that the Sagitta Production Company who were to produce the highly successful Edwardian series UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS (tx 1970 - 1975) for LWT, came into existence, making Hawkesworth and his long term professional partner Alfred Shaughnessy household names.

  • Material Cultures of Childhood in Second World War Britain
    Material Cultures of Childhood in Second World War Britain How do children cope when their world is transformed by war? This book draws on memory narratives to construct an historical anthropology of childhood in Second World Britain, focusing on objects and spaces such as gas masks, air raid shelters and bombed-out buildings. In their struggles to cope with the fears and upheavals of wartime, with families divided and familiar landscapes lost or transformed, children reimagined and reshaped these material traces of conflict into toys, treasures and playgrounds. This study of the material worlds of wartime childhood offers a unique viewpoint into an extraordinary period in history with powerful resonances across global conflicts into the present day. Gabriel Moshenska is Associate Professor in Public Archaeology at University College London, UK. Material Culture and Modern Conflict Series editors: Nicholas J. Saunders, University of Bristol, Paul Cornish, Imperial War Museum, London Modern warfare is a unique cultural phenomenon. While many conflicts in history have produced dramatic shifts in human behaviour, the industrialized nature of modern war possesses a material and psychological intensity that embodies the extremes of our behaviours, from the total economic mobiliza- tion of a nation state to the unbearable pain of individual loss. Fundamen- tally, war is the transformation of matter through the agency of destruction, and the character of modern technological warfare is such that it simulta- neously creates and destroys more than any previous kind of conflict. The material culture of modern wars can be small (a bullet, machine-gun or gas mask), intermediate (a tank, aeroplane, or war memorial), and large (a battleship, a museum, or an entire contested landscape).
