Oamaru.Oamaru at the estuary of the Waitaki River was a major Maori settlement area where over 1,000 middens have been searched. This was a major home of the Moa hunting Maoris of the 1300s and 1400s. Whalers visited the Otago coast here in the 1830s and the first white settlers came around 1850. The town of Oamaru was declared in 1859. Local quarries provided an extremely hard form of very white limestone for many of the buildings. The town grew as a service centre for the agricultural hinterland. Its boom period was in the 1870s and 1880s when its heritage buildings were erected. Since the port closed in 1970 the town has slumped industrially but has reinvented itself as a heritage city. It contains over 70 buildings on the NZ heritage list. Some of the historic buildings, many built of white Oamaru stone along Thames Street include the Waitaki Council Chambers, the former Municipal Chambers now the Opera House 1907, the Court House 1883, the Boer War Memorial, the Queens Hotel 1884, the Mechanics Institute 1882, the Post Office 1884, the National Bank 1870 etc. There are many more buildings in nearby Tyne Street and Harbour Street. This is adjacent to the port and the railway. Oamaru was a major exporter of frozen meat and this area blossomed with beautiful classical style warehouses in the late 1870s and the early 1880s. The warehouses stored grain and wheat and wool. Many of the buildings were designed by the well-respected local architectural partnership of Forrester and Lemon. This was the heyday of growth and importance of Oamaru. After the demise of the international port in the 1970s (in favour of Christchurch and Dunedin) the warehouses closed and the area became run down. Most of the area was taken over by the Oamaru Harbour Civic Trust in the late 1980s. The wonderful old buildigns have been restored where necessary and they have been leased out to art galleries, bookshops, antiques stores, fashion houses, cafes and bed and breakfast establishments. Oamaru heritage precinct has become a major tourist draw card for the city and it is a wonderful example of what can be done with historic centres of cities to revitalise them rather than demolish them. New Zealand knows how to sensibly preserve the past.

We felt privileged to accompany Mathapelo when she went to the Township of Khayelitsha to collect the latest batch of beaded animals from her artists and to provide lunch for them. You could tell how excited and proud the ladies (and one man) were to deliver their art work. These animals are quirky, individual and fun, and there is a healthy air of rivalry amongst the ladies to create the nicest animals. Monkeybiz provides the beads and frames, and buys the animals off the artists. The ladies are allowed to let their imagination run wild, and are only guided as to which animals the shop needs most. (normally elephants!) Check out www.monkeybiz.co.za for the full, moving story of this non-profitmaking organisation. Truly inspiring.

The photo shows the now demolished Cotmanhay Community Centre ( large building at right of picture with a car park) .
The Community Centre was vandalised to such an extreme degree that it became financially unsustainable. It was demolished.
Cotmanhay is a locality within Ilkeston, which in turn is a part of Erewash Borough.
Architects: Bucks County Council Architects Department. Nearing completion in 1978. The building on left is the first of three secondary schools which was going to form the campus. The building on right contained a small muti-purpose theatre, Swimming Pool and Sports Hall, (built as enhanced accommodation) to serve the campus and the community. It still survives and serves the original brief.
The field from where photograph is taken was reserved site for a Sixth Form Centre to serve the three schools, but now houses MK College.

This view shows the 1750 "castle" built by John Adam for Lord Ogilvy of Deskford, who bought the property from the Sharp family in 1722.
The photo is taken looking a lot east and a bit north. The north side ditch and wall run parallel to the house and behind it (away off to the left). The surviving lengths of east ditch and wall run across the far end of the castle and end about where the big tree in the middle of the photograph is. The southern arm of the moat is thought to have run across the lawn I am standing on, along the line of the slight depression that is visible. Where I am standing would have been in, or just outside the moat. The west side probably ran along the line of Castle Street, and has been completely obliterated. The ditch was 44 feet wide at the top and 19 feet wide at the bottom and was probably not a moat as such, but a dry ditch.
The 1750 house was added on to the house the Sharps had previously lived in, prior to selling the property in 1722, but in 1816, the Sharp's house was pulled down.
The Sharps of Banff produced one quite notorious family member - Archbishop James Sharp, born 4 May 1618 and murdered 3 May 1679. The house/castle demolished in 1816 was built by his father. During the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, many Scottish churchmen became Covenanters, a group of Presbyterians who bound themselves by oath to protect and defend their reformed church from the introduction of bishops and other Episcopalian features. This group had split into two factions, the Resolutioners and Protesters, who differed over how much power should be given to the King in the ordering of church affairs. Sharp was a leader of the Resolutioners.
Sharp was captured in 1651 by Oliver Cromwell's Parliamentarian forces and after a short period of imprisonment, was sent to London to represent the interests of the Resolutioners, where he became involved with George Monck and his scheme for the restoration of the monarchy. By supporting the restoration of the monarchy he was betraying his former Presbyterian associates.
After the Restoration of Charles II, he returned to St Andrews and in 1661 he was appointed Archbishop of St Andrews and primate of Scotland. In the face of Presbyterian resistance, he embarked on a strategy of repressing the principles of the Covenanters that he had formerly represented.
While there is no evidence that he changed sides for his own gain, nobody likes a traitor, even one that is following his own principals. In Covenanter literature he is portrayed as the arch-enemy. After the Battle of Rullion Green in November 1666 he is reported as having condemned to death eleven prisoners who had surrendered on a promise of mercy, telling them "You were pardoned as soldiers, but you are not acquitted as subjects".
In 1679 Archbishop James Sharp was assassinated by a band of Covenanters on Magus Muir, outside St Andrews, who had in fact been waiting to kill the Sheriff of Cupar when news came to them that Sharp's coach was on the road. After intercepting the coach and shooting the postillion, the nine assassins inflicted multiple fatal sword wounds on Sharp in full view of his daughter.
Sharp was given an elaborate funeral and buried beneath an imposing black and white marble monument in the Holy Trinity Church at St Andrews. However, when the tomb was opened in 1849 it was found to be empty. It has been alleged that the body was removed when the tomb was raided in 1725. It has never been found.
The ornamental well in front of the house is believed to be the original castle well. It is 33 feet deep, lined with dressed freestone and despite being near the brow of the hill, holds water to a depth of 16 feet.
The yellow building in the distance is MacDuff Church.

Let's meet the Anti-Cuts and Disability Rights campaigners... the victims of the Bankers' unpunished crimes against the people of the World.
London Mayor Boris Johnson sneaks in and out of secret Tory Conference as activists protest at the entrance. Hammermith Town Hall, London
Thanks to a leaked email and Twitter the scores of Conservative Party delegates who turned up at Hammersmith Town Hall today for a secret London Regional Conservative Party conference had to run the gauntlet of a small-but-loud picket of protesters who were angry at the severe local funding cuts already implemented by the right-wing Conservative Hammersmith & Fulham Council which has just announced a punitive budget for the next year, slashing front line services to the elderly, the disabled, immigrant support and child protection services.
Hammermith & Fulham's Conservative councillors have gone further than Communities Secretary Eric "Jabba The Hut" Pickles' 11.5% cuts by a further 3.5%. In their last round of budget cuts the council admitted even last year that they were already putting the lives of disabled residents at risk. Last year's cuts are nothing compared to this latest round.
The cuts are already blighting poorer people's lives in the borough, with much, much more to come, yet the council is happily earmarking £35,000,000 for the construction of a 14-storey luxury apartment development for private resale on land which previously hosted a large number of Community Groups and Services.
This conference was also intended to serve as a platform for "Star Turn of the day" London Mayor Boris Johnson to launch his re-election campaign. Johnson, however, sneaked in by a side door to avoid having to listen to people's legitimate complaints and, like a cowardly thief in the night when his speech inside had finished he sneaked out of a disused Service Entrance down the side of the building on his bicycle, refusing to pose for a single photograph. In his haste to escape our cameras he crashed into the kerb, slipped off his saddle (almost crushing his infamously fertile Tory testicles in the process) and almost fell over before wobbling off into the distance like a massive, corn-fed Norman Wisdom and almost crashing into a pedestrian.
The fifty police officers (including a Metropolitan Police catering van) who had to attend this meeting cost around £15,000 for the day according to a senior police officer we spoke to, and bearing this huge cost to the taxpayers it is even more odious that Boris Johnson should sneak in and out of the building specifically to avoid any contact whatsoever with the very Londoners he frequently claims to champion. In fact from the attendees of the conference not a single Conservative politician would engage the crowd - unless you count the unknown individual who got onto the external stairs leading to the conference room and turned round to flick the "V's" at the protesters below.
The police reported that they were very happy with the behaviour of the 100 or so protesters.
