MONUMEN? TO THE FALLEN OF THE SEA
THE SYRACUSAN SAILORS WHO FALLEN DURING THE 2nd WORLD WAR ARE INSCRIBED IN THE STONE OF THIS MONUMENT. ALSO PRESENT ARE THE MEN OF THE CREW OF THE SYRACUSAN FISHING VESSEL "NUOVA MARGHERITA", WHICH EXPLODED DUE TO THE RECOVERY OF A TORPEDO IN THE WATERS OF THE PORT IN 1952.
In this space, which has always been dedicated to maritime activities, the ancient Congregation of Mutual Aid for Seafarers was founded and operated in 1397 with the name of "Portus Salutis" and here the church of the Madonna di Porto Salvo was built in 1596, a spiritual refuge where the sailors prayed before departure and upon returning to the port of Syracuse,
Once the Church was destroyed at the end of the 19th century and the Sailors' Society disappeared, at the end of the last century (29 June 1997) it was decided to erect this monument here as a permanent reminder of the men and history of Syracuse shipping. (Syracusan Society of Homeland History)

The George and Devonshire, originally called The George, is a Grade II listed building, and has traded as a public house since the 1650's. It is the last pub still trading in what was Chiswick Village, the others having been demolished or closed down.
The George and Devonshire has had generations of publicans over the years including John Howell Burden, the assistant purser of the Lusitania, aged 25, who was drowned when it was torpedoed by a German U-boat on 7th May 1915. Both are buried in Chiswick Graveyard.
In the 18th century, smugglers used to row up the Thames with their contraband goods of rum and spirits and at a given signal pull over towards the huddle of fisher cottages between the river and the medieval church of St Nicholas. Somewhere among those tiny houses was the opening of a tunnel which led under the church to the George and Devonshire. There the boats would be unloaded and the goods carried up a secret passage, which led into the cellar. Evidence of this passageway can be seen today in the cellar of the George and Devonshire with two steps leading up to a bricked up doorway, facing towards the river!

{top left} Sir Robert Grosvenor succeeded his father as Earl Grosvenor in 1802. Educated at Harrow and Cambridge he became a member of parliament, lord-lieutenant of the County of Flint and was a renowned and enthusiastic art collector. In 1831 he was created Marquess of Westminster and was a sword carrier at the coronation of Queen Victoria in 1837. He was made a Knight of the Garter in 1842. Sir Robert Grosvenor had a vision for a grand development of Belgravia and Pimlico and directed its progress until his death in 1845. The name Belgravia comes from a Grosvenor title of Viscount Belgrave which is taken from a village of that name on the family estate in Cheshire. The plinth on which the statue stands is made of limestone quarried at Halkyn in the County of Flint on land belonging to the family.
{top right} The Grosvenor family came to England with William the Conqueror, and have held land in Cheshire since that time. In the seventeenth century Sir Thomas Grosvenor third baronet married Mary Davies a London heiress. Her dowry was part of the manor of Ebury, the land developed by their successors as Mayfair in the eighteenth century, followed by Belgravia and Pimlico in the nineteenth century. In 1979, Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor became the sixth Duke of Westminster. He commissioned this statue in 1997. The hounds on the monument are Talbot dogs introduced to this country by the Normans as hunting dogs. Now extinct, they were the ancestral stock of the modern bloodhound. Talbot dogs were added to the Grosvenor coat of arms in the seventeenth century. The gold wheatsheaf, known in heraldry as a 'garb' appeared for the first time on the coat of arms in 1398.
{bottom left - left} Under the direction of Sir Robert Grosvenor, Thomas Cundy, the Grosvenor Estate surveyor, presented the above layout to the Grosvenor Board in 1825. From Sir Robert's vision arose the elegant buildings, grand squares and colourful gardens that are now Belgravia.
{bottom left - right} The classical terraces of Belgrave Square were designed by George Basevi architect to the Haldimand Syndicate. Most of the buildings were erected under the control of the great Victorian developer Thomas Cubitt.

In Memory Of MR. JOHN HARRISON, late of Red-Lion Square, London.
Inventor of the TIME-KEEPER for ascertaining the LONGITUDE at Sea. He was born at Foulby, in the County of York, and was the Son of a Builder at that Place, who brought him up to the same Profession. Before he attained the Age of 21, He without any Instruction, employed himself in cleaning & repairing Clocks & Watches & made a few of the former, chiefly of Wood. At the Age of 25 He employed his Whole Time in Chronometrical Improvements. He was the Inventor of the Gridiron Pendulum and the Method of preventing the Effect of Heat and Cold upon Time keepers by Two Bars of different Metals fixed together. He introduced the Secondary Spring to keep them going while winding up; and was the Inventor of most (or all) of the Improvements in Clocks & Watches during his Time.
In the Year 1735, his first Time keeper was sent to Lisbon, and in 1764 his then much Improved fourth Time keeper having been sent to Barbadoes, the Commissioners of Longitude certified that it had determined the Longitude within one Third of Half a Degree of a great Circle, having erred not more than 40 Seconds in Time.
After near fifty years close Application to the above Pursuits, he departed this Life on the 24th Day of March 1776, Aged 83.

Here rests William Hazlitt born April 10, 1778, Died 18 September 1830. He lived to see his deepest wishes gratified as he has expressed them in his Essay On The Fear Of Death: Viz: To see the downfall of the Bourbons, And some prospect of good to mankind (Charles X was driven from France 29th July 18?? "To leave some sterling work to the world" (He lived to complete his "Life of Napoleon". His desire that some friendly hand should consign him to the grave was accomplished to a limited but profound extent; on these conditions he was ready to depart and to have inscribed on his tomb "Grateful and Contented". He was the first (unanswered) Metaphysician of the age, a despiser of the merely Rich and Great, A lover of the People, Poor or Opressed, a hater of the Pride and Power of the Few, as opposed to the happiness of the Many. A man of true moral courage who sacrificed Profit and present fame to Principle. And a yearning for the good of Human Nature, who was a burning wound to an Aristocracy. That could not answer him before men and who may confront him before their Maker. He lived and died The Unconquered Champion of Truth, Liberty and Humanity. Dubitantes opera legite. This stone is raised by one whose heart is with him, in his grave.

Dear Mother & Dad, I haven't got any letters from you yet so I guess that if you wrote, they were lost. Jerry has had some from his mother so there shouldn't be any reason for them not being here unless they were lost.
Everything is going fine here. We are back in London for a few days. Then we start back on the road again for the remainder of the tour. It shouldn't be too much longer until we are back in the states again. I don't know why, but in a foreign country I get a lot more what could be called homesick than I do in the states even though it actually isn't too much further away from home. I'll sure be glad to get back where I can call home and talk for a while every few days. I guess that's really what I miss. It's pretty hard to call from over here and costs a lot too. It seems you have to reserve your call a few days in advance or something like that.
Well there's not too much else to say other than both shows tonight went real good. Almost unbelievably good because we usually do "not so good" the first show because our spirits are kind of low about that time of the evening. It's 2:00 A.M. Thur. here but it's just 8:00 P.M. Wed. there at home. Seems kinda funny doesn't it? Well, that's all for now.
Love, Buddy

Hydraulic Power Dockland's Lifeblood
History
With the advent of the industrial revolution, the exports and imports of Victorian Britain caused the rapid early nineteenth century growth of the London docklands. Muscle and then steam provided the power to do everything from opening the lock gates to loading and unloading the vast warehouses flanking both banks of the Thames. However, fire was such a great risk that the insurance companies insisted on an alternative to steam. This problem was solved largely by the hydraulic inventions of Lord Armstrong of Newcastle, amongst which was the 'jigger' preserved here, which in this case was built by the Hydraulic Engineering Co. Ltd. of Chester in 1890. Hydraulic power was the lifeblood of the docklands.
Mechanics
Widely distributed and easily controllable high-pressure water was fed into the large cylinder. This pushed the piston up, forcing the sheaves apart such that 10cm (4") of silent piston movement gave 80cm (32") of chain movement over the wall crane to unload lighters or barges in the river below. For loading boats out of the warehouse, water was exhausted from the cylinder so that the weight of the piston and load descended by gravity. Two small jiggers control slew, the horizontal semi-rotation of the crane for reaching different cargo positions and swinging the loads into the warehouse doors on each floor served by the same crane. The jigger and crane could be controlled from any floor via a reach rod running up through the building.
The refurbishment of the jigger is part of a series of improvement projects by Taylor Woodrow Property Co. Ltd., owners of St Katharine Docks, with contributory funding from the Government Office for London Single Regeneration Budget Challenge Fund through an award by the Pool of London Partnership. It can be seen going through its cycle by pressing the button once.

The Totem was the British Columbia Indians's coat of arms. Totem poles are unique to the north west coast of B.C. and lower Alaska. They were carved from western red cedar and each carving tells of a real or mythical event. They were not idols nor were the worshipped. Each carving on each pole has a meaning. The eagle represents the kingdom of the air. The whale the lordship of the sea. The wolf, the genius of the land, and the frog, the transitional link between land and sea.

The famous Courage dray horses were stabled on this site from the early nineteenth century and delivered beer around London from the brewery on Horselydown Lane by Tower Bridge. In the sixteenth century the area became known as Horselydown, which derives from 'horse-lie-down', a description of working horses resting before crossing London Bridge into the City of London.
Jacob was commissioned by Jacobs Island Company and Farlane Properties as the centrepiece of the Circle to commemorate the history of the site. He was flown over London by helicopter into Queen Elizabeth Street to launch the Circle in October 1987.

The remains of the inscription indicate that this building was once a house of study for a Torah group who conducted Talmud lessons for the adult members of the Jewish community.
The inscription within the Shields of David indicates, according to the Jewish calendar, that the group was founded in 1810 (right) and that the building was renovated in 1912 (left).
In 1773 the building was damaged by fire, and was only renovated in the first half of the 19th century. During renovation it was converted into the group's learning centre for Talmudic studies, which previously operated from 6 Esther Street, in the Jewish quarter. The building was renovated again in 1912.

{top left} In 1940 the sinister shadow of Fascism spilled across Europe and into North Africa. Malta, under the protection of Great Britain, found herself alone in a hostile Mediterranean 800 miles from her nearest allies in Gibraltar and Alexandria. Besieged by enemies Malta became a fulcrum on which the fate of the war balanced for the next three years. If Malta fell the rest of North Africa would follow, opening the door to the oil fields of the Middle East and for the Axis Powers to join in Asia and threaten India. The allies knew this. So did the Axis Powers. Malta, besieged, became and remains the most bombed place in the history of War.
Supplied only by Sea, at great cost, Malta was defended not only by her own people but by forces drawn from the whole free world. Fighter aircraft delivered by the American and Royal Navies were piloted by Britons, Canadians, Australians, and New Zealanders. Convoys crewed by British, American and Commonwealth seamen were supported by the free forces of Greece, the Netherlands, and Poland. Free Norwegians added their merchant fleet to the Allied cause. In April 1942 King George VI awarded to the People of Malta the George Cross, the highest decoration for civilian courage and heroism.
By summer 1942 only weeks of food remained and the Allies mounted operation Pedestal as a last attempt to save Malta. After a five-day running battle the Convoy's four remaining merchant vessels and the immortal Tanker Ohio, all that was left of the fourteen that set out, entered Grand Harbour. The date was 15th August, 1942, the feast of Santa Maria. The siege was broken; within months North Africa was retaken and the first steps of European liberation begun.
This stone taken from Malta, was presented by the Maltese Government on the 60th Anniversary of the end of Second World War to commemorate all who participated in the siege and defence of Malta, 1940-43.

(Note by John Mann, Historian): It says this house is on the site of the prebend which goes back to the times of Henry VIII [first half 16C]
This is wrong by two or three hundred yards and almost four centuries.
The area of the prebend was roughly the area bounded by Willesden Lane, Walm lane, and Shoot up Hill. The moated manor house was about half way between Deerhurst and Coverdale Roads with its main exit on to Willesden Lane [known until 19C as Mapes Lane]. In 19C the manor house garden extended as far as Chatsworth.
Walter Map after whom the prebend and the manor estate are named lived and flourished in the time of Henry II [ie second half of 12C] who spent most of his reign in France about half of which belonged to him or his wife. Map was an almost man in both church and state, who wrote satirical sketches about court life. H II's sons included Richard the Lion Heart and bad king John who was the one who was forced to sign Magna Carta which was really about rights for barons not rights for you and me.

And out of the proceeds of such compulsory sales these buildings with their halls, coffee-tavern club and committee rooms have been built.
Near this spot George Fox was interred in 1690, previously Edward Burrough and some ninety other martyr Friends who died in London prisons had been buried here.

Dame Cicely Saunders (1918-2005) by Nigel Boonham, 2001 Bronze
Cicely Saunders was the visionary pioneer of the hospice movement. She devoted her life to ensuring that terminally ill people could die with dignity and without pain.
Today there are about 220 hospices in the United Kingdom and more than 8,000 around the world. Dame Cicely's work helped to change society's attitude to what was regarded as the Western world's last taboo. As she said: "You matter because you are you, and you matter to the last moment of your life."

Slavery During the Republic and Early Statehood 1836-1860
Between 1836 and 1860, the slave population in Texas grew from 5,000 to 182,566. The greatest increase in the number of slaves brought to Texas occurred from 1850 to 1865.
Among the expanding slave population were children who were purchased and brought to the State, or born in captivity to enslaved parents. Enslaved children typically wore slave cloth shirts made of homespun cotton or wool and were expected to do chores until they were old enough for field work. Enslaved women were expected to bear children and take care of their home life in the slave quarters, and to help farm cotton and other crops. Cotton produced by slave labor was the most important staple in the Texas economy, but slave labor was also integral to the economic growth of Texas in the lumber and construction industries. Several iconic Texas buildings including the 1853 limestone Texas Capitol, the 1856 Governor's Mansion, and the 1853 Pease Mansion were built with Black slave labor. Most slaves showed skills in farming, animal husbandry, construction, masonry, cooking and blacksmithing.

AMPLIFIED PASSAGE Sound work by Miriam Backstrom and Carsten Holler Public commission from the City of Paris In homage to the Jewish children of France deported during the Second World War
From 1942 to 1944, 11,400 Jewish children, including 6,100 Parisians, were deported from France to the Nazi extermination camps, with the complicity of the Vichy government. Of these children, almost all murdered, all that remains is the memory that we want to keep of them. To keep this memory alive, the artists Miriam Backstrom and Carsten Holler offer here a sound work: Amplified Passage. The voices and sounds of the city are picked up by microphones and amplified, without being recorded, by being subtly modified, in such a way that, in a limited space, they seem to come from nowhere. Transformed, distanced, returned to a form of intimacy, the voices of a moment become those of a memory always to be renewed and which carries among the living the memory of the deceased.

Sigismund Bell. The bell was commissioned by King Sigismund I the Old and bears his name. It was cast in 1520 in Kraków by the master bell-founder Hans Behem from Nuremberg. It was hoisted onto the tower on July 9, 1521, in an operation that lasted nine hours, observed by the king, his family, the court, and the people of Kraków. The bell weighs approximately 11 tons, and its clapper weighs 365 kg. Its height, including the crown, is 258 cm. The circumference of the rim is about 8.4 meters, and its diameter is 250 cm. The wall thickness ranges from 7 to 21 cm. It is the largest of the old bells in Poland.
"To God, the Best and Greatest, and to the Virgin Mother of God, His holy patrons, the illustrious Sigismund, King of Poland, had this bell made, worthy of the greatness of his mind and deeds, in the year of salvation 1520."
The bell is adorned with two plaques: one depicting St. Stanislaus, Bishop and Martyr, the patron of the cathedral and all of Poland, and the other depicting King Sigismund in his majesty. On both sides of the plaques, the national emblems are visible: the Crown's coat of arms - The Eagle - and Lithuania's coat of arms - the Pahonia. The bell also features the name of the bell-founder Behem, his master mark, and the year of its creation. The bell is rung by 12 strong men and sounds on great liturgical feasts and other solemn ceremonies. Pope John Paul II wrote about Sigismund Bell: "How many emotions and memories are evoked by the sound of this royal bell! In its solemn ringing, we hear a prayer across the centuries for freedom and prosperity for the homeland, as well as a call to free the heart from all evil. Perhaps especially a call to elevate the spirit toward the values that our generation has inherited from the splendid tradition of our forefathers." In 2001, a new clapper was installed in the bell.

The bell also features the name of the bell-founder Behem, his master mark, and the year of its creation. The bell is rung by 12 strong men and sounds on great liturgical feasts and other solemn ceremonies. Pope John Paul II wrote about Sigismund Bell: "How many emotions and memories are evoked by the sound of this royal bell! In its solemn ringing, we hear a prayer across the centuries for freedom and prosperity for the homeland, as well as a call to free the heart from all evil. Perhaps especially a call to elevate the spirit toward the values that our generation has inherited from the splendid tradition of our forefathers." In 2001, a new clapper was installed in the bell.

Lines on James Thomson The Poet of Nature. . Ye who from London's smoke and turmoil fly, To seek a purer air and brighter sky, Think of the Bard who dwelt in yonder dell Who sang so sweetly what he loved so well, Think, as ye gaze on there luxuriant bowers Here Thomson loved the sunshine and the flowers. He who could paint in all their varied forms, April's young blooms. December's dreary storms, By you fair stream, which calmly glides along Pure as his life, and lovely as his song, There oft he roved, In yonder churchyard lies All of the deathless Bard that ever dies, For here his gentle spirit lingers still In yon sweet vale - on this enchanted hill; Flinging a holier int'rest o'er the grove, Stirring the heart to poetry and love, Bidding us prize the favourite scenes he trod, And view in Nature's beauties, Nature's God.

Jabez West (6th June 1810 - 13th May 1884) was a blacksmith's son from Princes Risborough, who came to Bermondsey in the 1830s. He worked in the leather trade but became best known in the area for devoting his time to political reform and the temperance movement. He also campaigned for Southwark Park. After his death, the Metropolitan Board of Works took the unusual step of agreeing to this memorial for a working-class man. The fountain is made of polished grey granite at an original cost of £120, which was paid for by public subscription.

Well Hall Pleasaunce
An 18th century house standing on this site before its demolition in 1931 was for 23 years the home of Edith Nesbit (1858 - 1924), author of The Railway Children. During her somewhat unusual married life here with husband Hubert Bland, a founder member of the Fabian Society, she wrote many other books including The Phoenix and the Carpet, Five Children and It and the Wouldbegoods.
Before Edith Nesbit took up residence here in 1899, there were other notable occupiers of this imposing three storey house.
The famous clock maker, John Arnold, lived here from 1779 to 1799, seeking an answer to longitude, and the Rev. Charles Fryer, vicar of St John's church at Eltham in the 1840s. The house was used as the boarding section of Well Hall School in the 1880s and their bell can still be seen on the nearby Tudor Barn.
However, Edith Nesbit, with her magic touch of writing children's stories which still live on today in television and film adaptations, is the name now most associated with Well Hall House. She loved living here in this part of South East London and especially enjoyed punting on the moat whilst entertaining her many literary friends, George Bernard Shaw and H.G. Wells among them.
In 1915 and 1916 the grounds were used for garden parties, held to raise funds for The Pioneer Women Campaigners (connected with the Woolwich Labour Party).
Hubert died at Well Hall in 1914. Three years later Edith married marine engineer Tommy Tucker known as 'Skipper', and in 1922 left Eltham for Jesson St. Mary, near Dymchurch Kent, where they had enjoyed numerous holidays exploring the countryside. It was here in 1924 that Edith died; she lies at rest at St. Mary-in-the-Marsh Church, Romney Marsh, Kent.

✝RIP Walenty Badylak died a tragic death by self-immolation on March 21, 1980 with his act protesting against the conspiracy of silence surrounding the Katyń massacre, the demoralization of youth, and the destruction of craftsmanship. On the 10th anniversary of his death, the people of Kraków.
Plaque Wording:
Here lie the remains of Walenty Badylak. A Polish patriot who tragically took his own life in an act of protest against historical falsehoods. On March 21, 1980, he set himself on fire in Kraków's Main Square to denounce the silence surrounding the Katyn Massacre, a crime committed by the Soviet NKVD against Polish officers in 1940. His act of self-immolation was a desperate plea for truth in an era of censorship.
This commemorative plaque honours his sacrifice and serves as a reminder of the pursuit of historical truth.

The Black Prince was a brilliant medieval war lord who lived 1330-1376. His two most famous victories were at the battles of Crecy (1346), when he was only 16, and Poitiers (1356), where King John of France was captured. As the son of Edward III the Black Prince was heir to the throne of England, but died before his father. The road has been named after him because the Black Prince owned and extended Kennington Manor, which has remained the property of the monarch's eldest son to this day.

These grounds, the site of the Foundling Hospital, established in 1739 by Captain Thomas Coram, were offered for sale as housing land in 1926 when owing to changing social conditions the old Hospital was sold and demolished.
After eight years of anxiety to its fate the site was eventually preserved for the use and welfare of the children of Central London by the generosity and vision of Harold Viscount Rothermere, by the efforts of the Foundling Site Appeal Council, by the co-operation of the governors of the Foundling Hospital and of the Education Committee of the London County Council, and by the enthusiasm of many thousands of donors, large and small, who contributed their money or their toil to the saving of these nine acres, henceforth to be known as Coram's Fields.

The Croydon Canal opened in 1809, joining the Grand Surrey Canal & New Cross. 'Frog Island' was the name given to land enclosed by the sweeping bend in the canal at South Norwood. The canal transported goods between London and Croydon until its closure in 1836.
The London & Croydon Railway Company bought the land, opening Croydon's first steam railway in 1839. The route mainly followed that of the canal, apart from at South Norwood where it cut through 'Frog Island'.
South Norwood's first station was located between what is now Manor Road and the upper part of the High Street. It was called the 'Jolly Sailor', after the nearby pub. In 1859 the station moved to its present site to allow for more connections to London, Croydon and beyond.

DACHAU Is the site near Munich in Germany where the first European camp was built by the National Socialist Party after they had seized power. It was completed on March 22, 1933. Originally, this camp was intended to imprison those German citizens opposed to Hitler's regime. Later, Resistance fighters and victims of Nazi oppression arrested in those countries annexed and occupied by Germany were deported there. More than 200,000 internees out on whom 12,000 were arrested in France, suffered from the most inhuman treatment.
In this camp, during the 12 years of its operation operation, several tens of thousands of prisoners died of starvation, exhaustion, cruelty or were executed. We, the survivors, have erected this simple monument as witness to the Faith, Courage and Hope that have ceaselessly driven and supported us throughout our ordeal
