Shot on a shooting table. This was a balancing exercise between ambient light and flash light.
3 flash guns used to light the shooting table (white background)
2 x Nikon SB28@1/8 power underneath the shooting table to light the horizontal bit of the table
1 x Nikon SB24@1/4 power behind the background of the table bouncing light off a white wall
The rest was ambient light. To allow the icons to show on the display I lowered the shutter speed to 1/20.

I know, I know, I know...its a bit crazy, but I have reasons behind my madness. Down in T-town, football, cheerleaders, all of it is a big deal. I've never been a subscriber to the football bible. I've never been a cheerleader, never really been to any football games, in college or otherwise, so to get to this point, where I'm standing, no, no, buying this costume, is against every thing I belief in. It really is. However, its Halloween, or rather, it will be, and when you're in T-town, you show the pride whether you're in it or not. My aunt lives in Dallas, and her husband it a die hard fan. He's got memorabilia all over the house, and during football season, you are not allowed to speak during the games unless you are cheering on the team and speaking football jargon.
Anyway, its August, and why am I in costume...well, I bought it to motivate me (and yes I'm aware I need white boots, but I'll have to go find them closer to Halloween). I want to wear either this one or my number 2 pick this year (which I've yet to purchase because I'd literally have to stop eating to get into it which I'm not going to do). I wanted to know just HOW HARD I'd have to workout you know, and I didn't want to find out a week before Halloween, that I wouldn't be able to fit into the costume or it wouldn't look right because of whatever. Halloween is a BIG deal with my friends, and I love the whole thing. I mean, everyone was talking about it in July and planning on which night to go and what parties...crazy right, for one night so many months away, but aside from last year, I've had some pretty b*tchin' Halloweens, and this year is no different. So got the thing today, and I can get it on, lol, so that's a good sign, but I don't care what anyone says, or how anyone tries to convince me, "oh it looks fine," I know me, I've got work to do! Your true friends, you're girls, and your gays will tell you what needs work, and they were honest, and thats why I trust them. B*tches! LOL.
In other news, its a good day to be alive. Got my blood work back from the doctor today, and although I have a high platelet count, I'm negative for Lupus! Some days, are yours, you know, when the world feels just a little bit more okay...
Foundation stone 28 Jul 1850 by Bishop Augustus Short, designed by Mr Burnet, opened May 1852, bell installed in tower 1863, new chancel dedicated 20 Dec 1904, re-opened 7 Dec 1930 after renovations, closed c2015, now private. Earliest services had been in the flour mill or Horseshoe Inn.
“A Meeting of the subscribers for the erection of a Church at Noarlunga, was held on Friday last, when Messrs Bosworth, Hollins, and J. S. Clark were elected trustees. The church will be a very pretty structure of stone from the neighbouring quarries, and it is to be on an acre in the township presented by Mr Giles for the South Australian Company.” [South Australian 26 Jun 1850]
“Noarlunga — The foundation stone of the new church to be dedicated to St. Phillip and St. James, was laid on Friday, the 28th ultimo, by the Bishop of Adelaide, in the presence of a numerous, and highly respectable, concourse of the inhabitants. . . Divine service was performed for the first time on Sunday last, at the ‘Horse Shoe’ Inn. Mr Bock, the worthy landlord, fitted up the room for the occasion, and Miss Plaisted led the various hymns on a splendid organ. . . a great improvement upon the pro tempore places of worship previously used at Noarlunga.” [Adelaide Times 3 Aug 1850]
“The towered church of St. Philip and St. James, Noarlunga, perched on a hill, with the silver ribbon of the Onkaparinga winding in and out at its foot, was designed by Mr. Burnet after the model of a church in England.” [Observer 23 Dec 1905]
“St. Phillip and St. James' Anglican Church. . . When services were first held there the gospel was preached in somewhat trying circumstances. There were no window panes, strips of calico serving instead. No floor had been set down, and the congregation rested their feet on the soil. . . The name of the church is derived from the Christian names of two of the pioneer workers in the district — Messrs. James Hughes and Phillip Hollins. Before the erection of the church the former conducted a Sunday school in a flourmill nearby.” [News 16 May 1929]
“Noarlunga . . . A large bronze bell weighing 120 lbs. has been fixed in the tower of the Episcopal Church here, and will be very useful to the members of that congregation. The gentlemen who have kindly taken the trouble to procure the bell are certainly deserving of the thanks of the members of the church. It is of a good tone, but it has not yet been properly rung. Some trees and shrubs have been planted in the ground adjoining the sacred edifice, but whilst the fence is in an open and decayed state, there can be little hopes of seeing plants grow, as pigs, goats, and calves, are constantly getting into the enclosure.” [Advertiser 22 Aug 1863]
“St. Philip and St. James' Church. . . a lecture and concert was held in Mr. Holmes's wheat store in aid of the funds for plastering and ceiling the church. In the afternoon about 100 persons were present, which number was largely increased in the evening.” [Adelaide Observer 14 Apr 1866]
“The anniversary festival of the Sunday school belonging to St, Philip and St. James's Church was held on Thursday. Eighty children marched from the church to the district school room, singing hymns, were supplied with fruit, spent some time in play, and then were provided liberally with other refreshments. Between 50 and 60 adults were next regaled, and the whole company had a day of thorough enjoyment.” [Register 15 Mar 1871]
“St. Philip and St. James, Noarlunga. . . The Wardens' accounts, which were audited and passed, showed the Church to be in a very satisfactory financial position, and clear of all liabilities. . . discharging the balance of building fund, £25, and left £6 7s. 4d. in hand towards further improvement.” [Register 1 May 1873]
“St Phillip’s and St James' Church, Noarlunga. . . A committee was appointed to consider the question of building new chancel and repairing the church.” [Advertiser 19 Apr 1902]
“A new chancel will be dedicated by the Bishop of Adelaide (Dr. Harmer) at Sts. Philip and James, Noarlunga, on Sunday. The church was completed, with chancel and vestry, in 1867, and the present rector is the Rev. T. Wood.” [Advertiser 16 Dec 1903]
“Noarlunga. . . A beautiful carved blackwood reredos for the Church of St. Phillip and St. James was dedicated by Archdeacon Clampett, of St. Matthew's Church, Hawthorn, last Friday evening. The reredos is erected to commemorate the seventy-fifth birthday of the sacred edifice. . . After the service the congregation and friends met in the local hall. . . The reredos is the work of Mr. Price, of Adelaide.” [Observer 17 Oct 1925]
“Many inconveniences have been suffered by the congregation of St. Phillip and St. James' Anglican Church. . . At present the church is in a sad state of disrepair owing to lack .of funds to cope with the ravages which Time has wrought. Such a pitch has the disrepair reached that on rainy days members of the congregation dare not sit in the back rows, for dripping gutters have no respect for Sunday clothes. Recently, also, two churchgoers were rather fortunate in moving from one of the pews just before a large piece of plaster fell from the ceiling. Large cracks may be seen in various parts of the church, inside and out, and the possibility of more plaster falling presents danger. Some of the window frames has become separated partially from the stonework, and to prevent the entry of wind and rain .newspaper has been stuffed into the space. . . From time to time improvements were made to the church, which now boasts a brick floor and leadlight windows.” [News 16 May 1929]
“the third of a series of dances, arranged by Mr. Keith Maynard, for the restoration fund of St. Philip and James Church, Noarlunga.” [Advertiser 11 Jun 1929]
“Hawdon in his first overland expedition (1839) struck the Horseshoe after coming down the Onkaparinga, and from thence was able to make a beeline for Adelaide. . . Mr. Peter Giles, an octogenarian comeback, says that in his days there were only six houses, a brewery, and a flourmill in Noarlunga. Beautiful trees and shrubs, wattle, honeysuckle, silver wattle, sheaoak, tea tree, and masses of wild flowers grew in profusion and beauty along the river bank to Port Noarlunga. . . Philip Hollins was the father of Onkaparinga River navigation. The barge Appoline was built to be towed between Port Noarlunga by a horse on a tow path (1857). Hollins was also the proprietor of the Horseshoe Hotel. . . The Rev. A. Burnett held the first Anglican services in the district in its lodgeroom (1848-1853). . . In the seventies and eighties Noarlunga was the great changing place of the Yankalilla-Adelaide mail. At the Horseshoe Inn the passengers transhipped into a larger or smaller coach as the case might be.” [Advertiser 28 Oct 1929]
“To celebrate the reopening of St. Philip and St. James Anglican Church, Noarlunga, following renovations at a cost of £200, a back to Noarlunga service will be held on Sunday afternoon. It will be followed by a reunion tea. Archdeacon A. W. Clampett, M.A., will preach. There is a special corner for children in the church. It is in the form of a font presented by scholars of catechism.” [News 3 Dec 1930]
“For eighty-one years the Church of St. Phillip and St. James, Noarlunga, has been a prominent landmark on the main South-road. . . Children of the Catechism have furnished the church with a massive font and a shrine of the Blessed Virgin Mary.” [Advertiser 17 Oct 1931]
“In the Anglican Church at Noarlunga on Sunday, a memorial window to the late Mrs. Eleanor Maynard was unveiled by the rector (Rev. R. E. Saunders). Designed in a mixture of antique and opaque glass, the window shows the Star in the East shining over Bethleham. Mr. Saunders preached a memorial sermon, taking as text ‘Let your light so shine before men’. Friends of Mrs. Maynard throughout the State contributed to the cost of the window.” [Advertiser 25 Aug 1934]

“A Blossom Ball organised by members of the St. Phillip's and St. James's Church of England Guild in aid of the church centenary fund realised £36.” [Advertiser 14 Aug 1947]
“Next Sunday the centenary of St. Philip and St. James Church of England will be celebrated. . . Eucharist, with the Bishop of Adelaide. . . luncheon in Noarlunga Hall. . . Evensong at 3 p.m. . . The first rector was Rev. A. Burnett, who arrived in 1848 and lived in a tent at Willunga. During his term of office the church was contemplated. On July 25, 1850 the land was conveyed under Act 10. 1847, by Messrs. G. F. Angus, Hy. Kingscote and I. R. Todd in trust. . . From 1856 onwards the rectors were Revs. T. R. Neville, E. K. Miller, F.

In 1843 the Rev. John Turner Colman Fawcett was appointed Vicar of Kildwick, where he was to remain for the next 24 years. During that time he saw the daughter church of St John, Cononley built, and he planned to build churches at Sutton and Steeton. In 1860 he obtained a curates licence for Steeton.
On 23rd August 1869 a lease of land at Carter Royd in Steeton was granted by John Wilkins to the Rev. Henry Salwey, Vicar of Kildwick (1868-1875). A temporary wooden structure was erected on this land. The building was set apart for divine worship on the afternoon of Sunday 10th October 1869 by the Rev. H. Salwey. A Sunday School was also held in the building. On 11th October 1878 a meeting of subscribers of the Steeton Church Fund was held in the Wooden Mission Room. Those present were: Rev. William Mitchell (Curate of Steeton), John Clough, James Bairstow, William Bairstow, Walter Bairstow, Mrs Mitchell, Mrs Todd, Mr W.H. Fox, Miss Mary Bairstow and the Rev. Herbert Todd (Vicar of Kildwick). The result of this meeting was to form a Building Committee for the purpose of building a permanent church in Steeton.
The wooden building was used for church services until the present church was consecrated in April 1881. Some time after this, the wooden structure was removed to near the new church and was used as a schoolroom until the present Sunday School building was opened in December 1896. Part of this wooden church still survives and is being used as a joiner’s workshop in Crosshills. The remainder of the building was in use on a farm at Whitley Head, but was dismantled several years ago.
The Building of St. Stephen’s Church 1880-1881
In the Autumn of 1879, a piece of land called Little London adjoining Elmsley House (now known as High Hall) was bought for £500 from Mr Garforth’s Trustees. The site was ¾ of an acre in extent and was to be used for building a permanent church in Steeton. Messrs. T.H. & F. Healey of Bradford were appointed to be the Architects for the new building. The Foundation Stone was laid by the Rev. Herbert Todd, Vicar of Kildwick, on February 28th 1880. The stone can be seen inside the church at the base of the chancel arch on the south side of the church, near the lectern. The cost of building the new church, including the purchase of the land, was about £3,700. The tradesmen appointed to construct the building were as follows:
Mason: John Rhodes of Baildon.
Carpenter and Joiner: Robert Wade of Silsden.
Plumber and Glazier: T. Lambert of Haworth.
Plasterer: Thomas Riley of Sutton Mill.
Slater: Thomas Thornton and Son of Bingley.
Painter and Decorator: J. Hindle of Steeton.
Clerk of Works: G.H. Elliot of Lightcliffe.
The style of architecture is Early English, and the church is built entirely of stone, which was mostly obtained from Strikes Delf, above Sutton. The church would have accommodation for about 270 people when it was first built. The principal feature of the church is the tower and spire which together rise to a height of 96 feet, on each face of the belfry stage are two light windows. Lucarne lights are placed on the cardinal bases of the spire. The tower contains one bell, but it has been arranged so that it will hold a full peal of bells.
The edifice forms a double rectangle and consists of a nave 60 feet by 22 feet, a chancel 30 feet by 18 feet, a south transept 16 feet by 12 feet and a vestry on the north side of the chancel. The tower is situated at the south east side of the church above the organ.
Since the building of Airedale General Hospital in 1970 the vicar of St Stephen’s has also been the chaplain of the hospital chapel.

Telemarketing for the holidays - Email follow up marketing tips.
The subject line of your email is like the outer portion of an envelope.
The window is the message, and it gives a glimpse of who it is from. So it’s important to display in your subject lines the motivation your subscribers need to open your emails. Consumers are actively looking to purchase gifts, and they want to save as much as possible while doing so. Being straight to the point in your subject line about what exactly you’re offering in your email is a great way to grab attention. For example, “Christmas Blow-Out Sale,” isn’t as effective as “50% off Entire Site.”
To help your email stand out, here are a few marketing tips we have up our sleeve:
Subject Line – Just Do It.
holiday email marketing subject lines - 2
Being direct with your audience can pay off. It tells them to act now, with no fluff added to the subject line. It’s a more just do it, call to action. Try not to be pushy or over-promote, but don’t be afraid to be straight forward. The following are examples on how to be straight forward without being rude:
Don’t Miss This Sale, Ends at Midnight
Subject Line – Can I help you?
holiday email marketing subject lines - 3
A command isn’t the only way to get noticed in an inbox. Using a question in your email subject line is an easy way to get more personal with connecting to consumers. The following are examples on how to use questions in a subject line more effectively:
Struggling to find the perfect gift?
Did you already get the perfect gift for your spouse?
Subject Line – Tease…What’s inside…
holiday email marketing subject lines - 4
Consumers love anticipation. A holiday sale is no different, if teased correctly in an email subject line. It’s important that your audience becomes interested in your product, and that even those who are already valued clients will be grabbed and want to open your email. The following are examples of a holiday tease:
Holiday Shopping can be anxiety-free at (your business).
Steps on how to shop under $100 for everyone this holiday season.
Subject Line – We know you
holiday email marketing subject lines - 5
Some of the most personal emails are ones that include your clients’ names in them, which literally call them out from their inboxes. Yes, it’s possible to do this. Having a database of all your subscriber and customer information will help populate the information needed to create personalized emails for everyone it’s being sent to. The biggest tip to keep in mind is that the less generic the email subject line is, the more likely your open rates will increase.
holiday email marketing subject lines - 6
Got an announcement of some sort? It doesn’t have to get complicated. It’s important to only announce something when it’s really important. Here’s how to do it right:
Don’t Miss out on Our Christmas Friends and Family Event
We’re Open Late! Extended Store Hours for the Holidays.
Subject Line – Lists That Might Interest You
holiday email marketing subject lines - 7
Lists help people organize their thoughts and information. Consumers are usually attracted to a list that will demonstrate value or importance. These are ways to send out a list to your audience that will get their attention:
5 Must Haves for The Holidays
12 time-saving tips to Avoid the Crowds
Subject Line – Words to Use
Consumers love to hear of any discount promotions, and here are key phrases and words that have a successful open rate:
Free Shipping on us!
A Sale You Can’t Afford to Skip
Save On Your Holiday Favorites

holiday email marketing subject lines - 8It’s important to make a schedule of all your holiday marketing campaigns and track the success of all your subject lines to see what works best for your business whether it’s a teaser, question, or a command. Keep in mind that the best subject lines are descriptive, yet short.

Recently, also, two churchgoers were rather fortunate in moving from one of the pews just before a large piece of plaster fell from the ceiling. Large cracks may be seen in various parts of the church, inside and out, and the possibility of more plaster falling presents danger. Some of the window frames has become separated partially from the stonework, and to prevent the entry of wind and rain .newspaper has been stuffed into the space. . . From time to time improvements were made to the church, which now boasts a brick floor and leadlight windows.” [News 16 May 1929]

Grey's Monument is a Grade I-listed monument in the centre of Newcastle upon Tyne, England. It was built in 1838 in recognition of Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1830 to 1834. In particular, it celebrates the passing of the Great Reform Act of 1832, one of Grey's most important legislative achievements. The act reorganised the system of parliamentary constituencies and increased the number of those eligible to vote.
The monument is located at the junction of Grey, Grainger and Blackett Streets and has a total height of 133 ft (41 m). It was funded via public subscription and consists of a statue of Earl Grey on a pedestal standing on top of a Roman Doric column. The column was designed by local architect, Benjamin Green, and the statue was created by the sculptor, Edward Hodges Baily.
A contemporary report of the unveiling ceremony described the monument as "a fine imaginative work of art" and other 19th century commentators praised it as "a noble effort of genius" and as having "a most commanding appearance". However, its location, then at the centre of the city's tram infrastructure, was criticised as unsuitable, with one newspaper declaring that "in its present situation, it will be a great nuisance" and, in the 1920s, there were calls to move the column to improve traffic flow. In 1981, the nearby station on the Tyne and Wear Metro was named after the monument. The pedestrianised area around the base is a popular meeting place and is used as a speakers' corner.
History
Grey's Monument was erected in recognition of the tenure of Charles Grey as Prime Minister. Earl Grey represented Northumberland in Parliament from the age of 22. He was made First Lord of the Admiralty in 1806, and later Leader of the House of Commons. In 1830 he was invited to form a government and became Prime Minister. It was during his time as Prime Minister that he passed the Great Reform Act, which brought about constituency reform and extended the right to vote. Grey's Monument was constructed when Grey was still alive and had retired from politics.
Conception and planning
A monument to Earl Grey was first proposed by the Newcastle-based architect, John Green, in 1832. Green envisaged a statue in Northumberland Square, North Shields, depicting Grey in parliamentary robes, holding the Magna Carta. He sought public subscriptions for his scheme in the Newcastle Chronicle on 16 June 1832:[1]
Instead of expressing our grateful Joy in the childish Barbarism of wasteful and dangerous Illuminations, which blaze for an Hour and are forgotten for ever; let us erect a Monument that shall commemorate to future Ages our Gratitude to the Friend of the People! the Prince of Patriots! and the Honour of Northumberland, EARL GREY!!!
The proposal was initially met with enthusiasm, although some Reformers were hesitant to commemorate an individual, instead preferring to erect a monument to the cause of the Reform movement itself. Alternative sites for the monument were proposed, including Rimside Moor in Northumberland.
The eventual site of the monument in central Newcastle was chosen as part of a local improvement plan proposed by Richard Grainger. In his plan, Grainger proposed to erect a statue not of Grey, but of an idealised figure. However, in 1834, Earl Grey was proposed as the subject of the statue. A public meeting took place on 6 October, chaired by William Ord, "to take into consideration the propriety of entering into a subscription, for erecting in a public situation in his native county, a statue, or other memorial, to the memory of the Noble Earl". There was unanimous support for the monument and £500 was raised on the day. One of the subscribers to the final monument was Whig politician and Irish political leader Daniel O'Connell.
The final location of the monument was slow to be approved, due to indecision from the council. There was also some lack of approval of Earl Grey himself; he was not as popular as he had been around the time of the Great Reform Bill's passing, and after leaving politics in 1834 Grey had focussed on a quiet life outside of the public sphere. Plans for Grey's Monument were approved by Newcastle Town Council on 14 September 1836. In the same meeting, it was agreed that the location of the monument would be at the top of Upper Dean Street, which would be renamed "Grey Street". Councillor Charnley spoke about the location of the monument, saying: "It must be well known to most of us that great anxiety has been felt to fix upon a proper situation for the monument; and after long deliberation, the Committee have come to the resolution that the place proposed is the fittest and most appropriate in Newcastle. It will be for you to decide whether, in your judgement, the Committee have come to a proper determination".
Benjamin Green, John Green's son, designed the monument's column, which was to cost £1,600. The architects initially intended for the monument to be taller, but the height was limited by the amount of money raised via subscriptions. Edward Hodges Baily was commissioned to design the statue of the Earl which cost £700.
Joseph Welch, who had previously built the Ouseburn Viaduct and Bellingham Bridge, was in charge of building the monument. The foundation stone was laid on 6 September 1837 by both John and Benjamin Green. A time capsule was buried at the time of the monument's construction. It contained a hermetically sealed glass bottle which contained a drawing of the structure, a collection of coins, local medals and tradesmen's tokens donated by John Ralph Fenwick, and a list of the monument's subscribers
Following the completion of the column on 11 August 1838, the Earl and Countess Grey visited Newcastle and were reported to have shown "evident signs of pleasure" when viewing the structure. On 24 August 1838, the statue of Earl Grey was placed on top of the column. It was transported from London by Halcyon, a trader based in Newcastle, and moved to its base from the quay of the River Tyne by two wagons. Church bells rang throughout the day to commemorate the occasion, although Earl Grey did not attend. In November 1838, the scaffolding encasing the monument was removed.
Design
Measured from the bottom of the column to the top of the statue, Grey's Monument is 133 ft (41 m) tall. The fluted column[13] is Roman Doric in style and is 9 ft 11 in (3.02 m) in diameter.[21] The column was originally built from stone from the Pennines, later replaced with sandstone ashlar. A helical staircase with 164 steps leads to a viewing platform at the top of the monument, which is occasionally opened to the public. Four lamps were placed at the base of the monument in 1893, increasing to 12 in the 1920s. The railings and lamps have since been removed. A building survey conducted in 1995 concluded that the monument was built on shallow foundations. It also found that the column can sway up to 30 cm (12 in) in the wind.
Statue
At the top of the column there is a pedestal surrounded by railings which enclose the viewing platform. The statue of Earl Grey by E. H. Baily sits on top of the pedestal. The statue depicts a 13 ft (4.0 m) twice-life-size figure standing upright, clothed in robes of the Order of the Garter. It is made out of Portland stone and was originally coated in wax to protect it against the weather. In Public Sculpture of North-East England, the expression of Earl Grey is described as "pensive". Baily also made 30 miniatures of the statue out of plaster, possibly intended as souvenirs.
During a thunderstorm on 25 July 1941, the head of the statue, which weighed around 102 kg (225 lb), was knocked off by a bolt of lightning and fell onto the tram lines below the monument. One of the statue's arms and a portion of the cloak were also damaged. The Newcastle Estate and Property Committee agreed that the statue would not be repaired until after the Second World War, but the head would be retained and restored. In 1947, sculptor Roger Hedley created a new head based on the preserved fragments of the original.
Inscriptions
The main inscription on the south side of the pedestal was added in 1854 and was most likely written by Sydney Smith It was installed by the Red Barns Marble Works of Gibson Street, Newcastle.

Critical and public reception
After the monument was completed it received praise from contemporary artists and writers. A column in The Mirror of Literature, Amusement, and Instruction in 1838 wrote that the statue "is a faithful representation of the noble Lord,—and esteemed a fine imaginative work of art". Also in 1838, The Spectator described the statue as "equal to any of Chantry's [sic]". Writing in Bradshaw's Journal in 1842, Alex Falkner wrote that the statue, "when seen from the centre of the street, has a most commanding appearance". In 1867, the author T. Fordyce described the statue of Earl Grey as "a noble effort of genius" which reflected "the highest credit on its accomplished author, Mr. Baily".
The monument was not universally acclaimed and it received criticism which lasted into the latter half of the 19th century. After the column was erected in August 1838, The Newcastle Journal wrote "Whatever may be the character of the Column as a work of art, it is certain that in its present situation, it will be a great nuisance, and that at no distant day its removal to a less objectionable site will be called for by the public". In 1857, a writer local to Newcastle wrote "the monument to Earl Grey is, to my mind, a huge mistake; you place an aged nobleman, dressed in court costume, on a high pillar, and, without a hat upon his bald head, expose him to the pelting of every storm that Heaven sends". Public interest and awareness of Earl Grey also decreased into and during the 20th century.[1] In the 1920s, there were calls from the Durham Branch of the Surveyors' Institution to remove and relocate the monument, due to its growing obstruction of the traffic.
Grey's Monument became a Grade I listed building on 14 June 1954. In the second half of the 20th century there were multiple calls (in 1982, 1994 and 1998) for the monument to be renovated, but these were dismissed due to the estimated cost and recognition that previous repairs had led to long-term damage by pollution. The monument lends its name to Monument Metro station, on the Tyne and Wear Metro, opened in 1981 and located directly underneath the monument. The pedestrianised area around the monument is a popular meeting place and is regarded as a speakers' corner.
Edward Hodges Baily RA FRS (10 March 1788 – 22 May 1867; sometimes misspelled Bailey) was a prolific British sculptor responsible for numerous public monuments, portrait busts, statues and exhibition pieces as well as works in silver. He carved friezes for both the Marble Arch and Buckingham Palace in London. His numerous statues of public figures include that of Horatio Nelson on top of Nelson's Column and Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey on Grey's Monument in Newcastle upon Tyne. Throughout his career Baily was responsible for creating a number of monuments and memorials for British churches and cathedrals, including several in St Paul's Cathedral.
Biography
Baily was born in 1788 at Downend in Bristol to Martha Hodges (1755-1836) and William Hillier Baily (1763-1834), a woodcutter who specialised in carving ship's figureheads. At the age of fourteen he was placed as an accounts clerk in a mercantile house, where he worked for two years, though he continued to produce wax models and busts, his childhood hobby. In 1804, aged sixteen he abandoned his job and set himself up as a professional wax portraitist. Two Homeric studies, executed for a friend, were shown to the sculptor John Flaxman who was so impressed, that in 1807, he accepted Baily as a pupil in his London studio and subsequently employed him as an assistant. In 1808 Baily won the silver medal of the Society of Arts for a plaster figure of Laocoön and the next year entered the Royal Academy Schools. At the academy he won a silver medal in 1809 and in 1811 he gained their gold medal for a model of Hercules restoring Alcestis to Admetus, and soon after exhibited Apollo discharging his Arrows against the Greeks and Hercules casting Lichas into the Sea.
From 1816 to 1846 Baily was the Chief Modeller for Rundell, Bridge and Rundell, goldsmiths to the royal family, where he was responsible for creating the Doncaster Cup trophy in 1843 and the Ascot Gold Cup in 1844. Baily also produced designs for the silversmith Paul Storr. For a soup tureen commission in 1821, Baily designed a pair of ornamental handles which became the basis of his large scale marble sculpture Eve at the Fountain, which was acquired by the Bristol Literary Institute and is now in the Bristol Museum & Art Gallery. Widely reproduced at reduced sizes in both Parian ware and bronze, the work was among the most popular individual sculptures in Britain at the time. Baily returned to Eve as a subject in 1842 with the work Eve listening to the Voice. Baily was elected an Associate member of the Royal Academy in 1817 and, on the strength of Eve at the Fountain, a full Academician in 1821.
From the 1820s until 1858 Baily had a series of high-profile public commissions and was also responsible for numerous portrait busts, statues and exhibition pieces. He carved the bas-reliefs on the facade of the Masonic Hall on Park Street in Bristol and those on the south side of the Marble Arch in Hyde Park in 1826. When changes were made to the size and design of the Marble Arch, a number of friezes that Baily had carved were considered surplus to requirements but were installed on the facade of Buckingham Palace. He also designd the models of the stone figures installed on the pediment of Buckingham Palace when the building was enlarged and carved the frieze Britannia Rewarding Arts and Sciences for the Palace's throne room. He created the prominent statue of Horatio Nelson for the top of Nelson's Column, in Trafalgar Square. For the facade of the National Gallery facing onto Trafalgar Square he created a series of statues and friezes.
Baily exhibited at the Royal Academy regularly from 1810 to 1862 and at the British Institution from 1812 to 1840. His exhibition pieces often represented aspects of family life with titles such as Maternal Affection and Mother and Child. For Saint Stephen's Hall in the Palace of Westminster he created statues of Charles James Fox and Lord Mansfield. Subjects of his portrait busts included the Duke of Wellington, his mentor John Flaxman and Lord Byron. Several of his designs for monuments were cast as small scales bronzes for the domestic retail market, notably his equestrian statue of George IV.
Financial insecurity was a recurring theme in Baily's life. He was first declared bankrupt in 1831, and again in 1838. On the first occasion questions were asked in Parliament on his behalf because his financial distress had resulted from delays in receiving payment for sculptures at Buckingham Palace. Fortunately his appeals to the Royal Academy for financial assistance, were successful in the 1830s, as again in the 1860s, when they provided him with a pension of £200 a year as an honorary retired Academician. Baily's election as a fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) came in 1842. Among his final works was the design for the Turner medal in 1857, the Royal Academy's award for landscape painting.
Baily married Elizabeth Wardley (1786-1836) in Bristol during 1806 and the couple had four children. Their daughter, Caroline, married Edgar George Papworth Senior one of Baily's assistants. Among his other assistants and pupils were John Henry Foley, Musgrave Watson, Joseph Durham, Edward Bowring Stephens and William Theed. Baily's nephew was William Hellier Baily, the paleontologist.
Baily died at 99 Devonshire Road, Holloway in north London on 22 May 1867 and is buried in the city's Highgate Cemetery.
Newcastle upon Tyne, or simply Newcastle is a cathedral city and metropolitan borough in Tyne and Wear, England. It is located on the River Tyne's northern bank, opposite Gateshead to the south. It is the most populous settlement in the Tyneside conurbation and North East England.
Newcastle developed around a Roman settlement called Pons Aelius, the settlement became known as Monkchester before taking on the name of a castle built in 1080 by William the Conqueror's eldest son, Robert Curthose. It was one of the world's largest ship building and repair centres during the industrial revolution. Newcastle was part of the county of Northumberland until 1400, when it separated and formed a county of itself. In 1974, Newcastle became part of Tyne and Wear. Since 2018, the city council has been part of the North of Tyne Combined Authority.
The history of Newcastle upon Tyne dates back almost 2,000 years, during which it has been controlled by the Romans, the Angles and the Norsemen amongst others. Newcastle upon Tyne was originally known by its Roman name Pons Aelius. The name "Newcastle" has been used since the Norman conquest of England. Due to its prime location on the River Tyne, the town developed greatly during the Middle Ages and it was to play a major role in the Industrial Revolution, being granted city status in 1882. Today, the city is a major retail, commercial and cultural centre.
Roman settlement
The history of Newcastle dates from AD 122, when the Romans built the first bridge to cross the River Tyne at that point. The bridge was called Pons Aelius or 'Bridge of Aelius', Aelius being the family name of Roman Emperor Hadrian, who was responsible for the Roman wall built across northern England along the Tyne–Solway gap. Hadrian's Wall ran through present-day Newcastle, with stretches of wall and turrets visible along the West Road, and at a temple in Benwell. Traces of a milecastle were found on Westgate Road, midway between Clayton Street and Grainger Street, and it is likely that the course of the wall corresponded to present-day Westgate Road. The course of the wall can be traced eastwards to the Segedunum Roman fort at Wallsend, with the fort of Arbeia down-river at the mouth of the Tyne, on the south bank in what is now South Shields. The Tyne was then a wider, shallower river at this point and it is thought that the bridge was probably about 700 feet (210 m) long, made of wood and supported on stone piers. It is probable that it was sited near the current Swing Bridge, due to the fact that Roman artefacts were found there during the building of the latter bridge. Hadrian himself probably visited the site in 122. A shrine was set up on the completed bridge in 123 by the 6th Legion, with two altars to Neptune and Oceanus respectively. The two altars were subsequently found in the river and are on display in the Great North Museum in Newcastle.
The Romans built a stone-walled fort in 150 to protect the river crossing which was at the foot of the Tyne Gorge, and this took the name of the bridge so that the whole settlement was known as Pons Aelius. The fort was situated on a rocky outcrop overlooking the new bridge, on the site of the present Castle Keep. Pons Aelius is last mentioned in 400, in a Roman document listing all of the Roman military outposts. It is likely that nestling in the shadow of the fort would have been a small vicus, or village. Unfortunately, no buildings have been detected; only a few pieces of flagging. It is clear that there was a Roman cemetery near Clavering Place, behind the Central station, as a number of Roman coffins and sarcophagi have been unearthed there.
Despite the presence of the bridge, the settlement of Pons Aelius was not particularly important among the northern Roman settlements. The most important stations were those on the highway of Dere Street running from Eboracum (York) through Corstopitum (Corbridge) and to the lands north of the Wall. Corstopitum, being a major arsenal and supply centre, was much larger and more populous than Pons Aelius.
Anglo-Saxon development
The Angles arrived in the North-East of England in about 500 and may have landed on the Tyne. There is no evidence of an Anglo-Saxon settlement on or near the site of Pons Aelius during the Anglo-Saxon age. The bridge probably survived and there may well have been a small village at the northern end, but no evidence survives. At that time the region was dominated by two kingdoms, Bernicia, north of the Tees and ruled from Bamburgh, and Deira, south of the Tees and ruled from York. Bernicia and Deira combined to form the kingdom of Northanhymbra (Northumbria) early in the 7th century. There were three local kings who held the title of Bretwalda – 'Lord of Britain', Edwin of Deira (627–632), Oswald of Bernicia (633–641) and Oswy of Northumbria (641–658). The 7th century became known as the 'Golden Age of Northumbria', when the area was a beacon of culture and learning in Europe. The greatness of this period was based on its generally Christian culture and resulted in the Lindisfarne Gospels amongst other treasures. The Tyne valley was dotted with monasteries, with those at Monkwearmouth, Hexham and Jarrow being the most famous. Bede, who was based at Jarrow, wrote of a royal estate, known as Ad Murum, 'at the Wall', 12 miles (19 km) from the sea. It is thought that this estate may have been in what is now Newcastle. At some unknown time, the site of Newcastle came to be known as Monkchester. The reason for this title is unknown, as we are unaware of any specific monasteries at the site, and Bede made no reference to it. In 875 Halfdan Ragnarsson, the Danish Viking conqueror of York, led an army that attacked and pillaged various monasteries in the area, and it is thought that Monkchester was also pillaged at this time. Little more was heard of it until the coming of the Normans.
Norman period
After the arrival of William the Conqueror in England in 1066, the whole of England was quickly subjected to Norman rule. However, in Northumbria there was great resistance to the Normans, and in 1069 the newly appointed Norman Earl of Northumbria, Robert de Comines and 700 of his men were killed by the local population at Durham. The Northumbrians then marched on York, but William was able to suppress the uprising. That same year, a second uprising occurred when a Danish fleet landed in the Humber. The Northumbrians again attacked York and destroyed the garrison there. William was again able to suppress the uprising, but this time he took revenge. He laid waste to the whole of the Midlands and the land from York to the Tees. In 1080, William Walcher, the Norman bishop of Durham and his followers were brutally murdered at Gateshead. This time Odo, bishop of Bayeux, William's half brother, devastated the land between the Tees and the Tweed. This was known as the 'Harrying of the North'. This devastation is reflected in the Domesday Book. The destruction had such an effect that the North remained poor and backward at least until Tudor times and perhaps until the Industrial Revolution. Newcastle suffered in this respect with the rest of the North.
In 1080 William sent his eldest son, Robert Curthose, north to defend the kingdom against the Scots. After his campaign, he moved to Monkchester and began the building of a 'New Castle'. This was of the "motte-and-bailey" type of construction, a wooden tower on top of an earthen mound (motte), surrounded by a moat and wooden stockade (bailey). It was this castle that gave Newcastle its name. In 1095 the Earl of Northumbria, Robert de Mowbray, rose up against the king, William Rufus, and Rufus sent an army north to recapture the castle. From then on the castle became crown property and was an important base from which the king could control the northern barons. The Northumbrian earldom was abolished and a Sheriff of Northumberland was appointed to administer the region. In 1091 the parish church of St Nicholas was consecrated on the site of the present Anglican cathedral, close by the bailey of the new castle. The church is believed to have been a wooden building on stone footings.
Not a trace of the tower or mound of the motte and bailey castle remains now. Henry II replaced it with a rectangular stone keep, which was built between 1172 and 1177 at a cost of £1,444. A stone bailey, in the form of a triangle, replaced the previous wooden one. The great outer gateway to the castle, called 'the Black Gate', was built later, between 1247 and 1250, in the reign of Henry III. There were at that time no town walls and when attacked by the Scots, the townspeople had to crowd into the bailey for safety. It is probable that the new castle acted as a magnet for local merchants because of the safety it provided. This in turn would help to expand trade in the town. At this time wool, skins and lead were being exported, whilst alum, pepper and ginger were being imported from France and Flanders.
Middle Ages
Throughout the Middle Ages, Newcastle was England's northern fortress, the centre for assembled armies. The Border war against Scotland lasted intermittently for several centuries – possibly the longest border war ever waged. During the civil war between Stephen and Matilda, David 1st of Scotland and his son were granted Cumbria and Northumberland respectively, so that for a period from 1139 to 1157, Newcastle was effectively in Scottish hands. It is believed that during this period, King David may have built the church of St Andrew and the Benedictine nunnery in Newcastle. However, King Stephen's successor, Henry II was strong enough to take back the Earldom of Northumbria from Malcolm IV.
The Scots king William the Lion was imprisoned in Newcastle, in 1174, after being captured at the Battle of Alnwick. Edward I brought the Stone of Scone and William Wallace south through the town and Newcastle was successfully defended against the Scots three times during the 14th century.
Around 1200, stone-faced, clay-filled jetties were starting to project into the river, an indication that trade was increasing in Newcastle. As the Roman roads continued to deteriorate, sea travel was gaining in importance. By 1275 Newcastle was the sixth largest wool exporting port in England. The principal exports at this time were wool, timber, coal, millstones, dairy produce, fish, salt and hides. Much of the developing trade was with the Baltic countries and Germany. Most of the Newcastle merchants were situated near the river, below the Castle. The earliest known charter was dated 1175 in the reign of Henry II, giving the townspeople some control over their town. In 1216 King John granted Newcastle a mayor[8] and also allowed the formation of guilds (known as Mysteries). These were cartels formed within different trades, which restricted trade to guild members. There were initially twelve guilds. Coal was being exported from Newcastle by 1250, and by 1350 the burgesses received a royal licence to export coal. This licence to export coal was jealously guarded by the Newcastle burgesses, and they tried to prevent any one else on the Tyne from exporting coal except through Newcastle. The burgesses similarly tried to prevent fish from being sold anywhere else on the Tyne except Newcastle. This led to conflicts with Gateshead and South Shields.
In 1265, the town was granted permission to impose a 'Wall Tax' or Murage, to pay for the construction of a fortified wall to enclose the town and protect it from Scottish invaders. The town walls were not completed until early in the 14th century. They were two miles (3 km) long, 9 feet (2.7 m) thick and 25 feet (7.6 m) high. They had six main gates, as well as some smaller gates, and had 17 towers. The land within the walls was divided almost equally by the Lort Burn, which flowed southwards and joined the Tyne to the east of the Castle. The town began to expand north of the Castle and west of the Lort Burn with various markets being set up within the walls.
In 1400 Henry IV granted a new charter, creating a County corporate which separated the town, but not the Castle, from the county of Northumberland and recognised it as a "county of itself" with a right to have a sheriff of its own. The burgesses were now allowed to choose six aldermen who, with the mayor would be justices of the peace. The mayor and sheriff were allowed to hold borough courts in the Guildhall.
Religious houses
During the Middle Ages a number of religious houses were established within the walls: the first of these was the Benedictine nunnery of St Bartholomew founded in 1086 near the present-day Nun Street. Both David I of Scotland and Henry I of England were benefactors of the religious house. Nothing of the nunnery remains now.
The friary of Blackfriars, Newcastle (Dominican) was established in 1239. These were also known as the Preaching Friars or Shod Friars, because they wore sandals, as opposed to other orders. The friary was situated in the present-day Friars Street. In 1280 the order was granted royal permission to make a postern in the town walls to communicate with their gardens outside the walls. On 19 June 1334, Edward Balliol, claimant to be King of Scotland, did homage to King Edward III, on behalf of the kingdom of Scotland, in the church of the friary. Much of the original buildings of the friary still exist, mainly because, after the Dissolution of the Monasteries the friary of Blackfriars was rented out by the corporation to nine of the local trade guilds.
The friary of Whitefriars (Carmelite) was established in 1262. The order was originally housed on the Wall Knoll in Pandon, but in 1307 it took over the buildings of another order, which went out of existence, the Friars of the Sac. The land, which had originally been given by Robert the Bruce, was situated in the present-day Hanover Square, behind the Central station. Nothing of the friary remains now.
The friary of Austinfriars (Augustinian) was established in 1290. The friary was on the site where the Holy Jesus Hospital was built in 1682. The friary was traditionally the lodging place of English kings whenever they visited or passed through Newcastle. In 1503 Princess Margaret, eldest daughter of Henry VII of England, stayed two days at the friary on her way to join her new husband James IV of Scotland.
The friary of Greyfriars (Franciscans) was established in 1274. The friary was in the present-day area between Pilgrim Street, Grey Street, Market Street and High Chare. Nothing of the original buildings remains.
The friary of the Order of the Holy Trinity, also known as the Trinitarians, was established in 1360. The order devoted a third of its income to buying back captives of the Saracens, during the Crusades. Their house was on the Wall Knoll, in Pandon, to the east of the city, but within the walls. Wall Knoll had previously been occupied by the White Friars until they moved to new premises in 1307.
All of the above religious houses were closed in about 1540, when Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries.
An important street running through Newcastle at the time was Pilgrim Street, running northwards inside the walls and leading to the Pilgrim Gate on the north wall. The street still exists today as arguably Newcastle's main shopping street.
Tudor period
The Scottish border wars continued for much of the 16th century, so that during that time, Newcastle was often threatened with invasion by the Scots, but also remained important as a border stronghold against them.
During the Reformation begun by Henry VIII in 1536, the five Newcastle friaries and the single nunnery were dissolved and the land was sold to the Corporation and to rich merchants. At this time there were fewer than 60 inmates of the religious houses in Newcastle. The convent of Blackfriars was leased to nine craft guilds to be used as their headquarters. This probably explains why it is the only one of the religious houses whose building survives to the present day. The priories at Tynemouth and Durham were also dissolved, thus ending the long-running rivalry between Newcastle and the church for control of trade on the Tyne. A little later, the property of the nunnery of St Bartholomew and of Grey Friars were bought by Robert Anderson, who had the buildings demolished to build his grand Newe House (also known as Anderson Place).
With the gradual decline of the Scottish border wars the town walls were allowed to decline as well as the castle. By 1547, about 10,000 people were living in Newcastle. At the beginning of the 16th century exports of wool from Newcastle were more than twice the value of exports of coal, but during the century coal exports continued to increase.
Under Edward VI, John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland, sponsored an act allowing Newcastle to annexe Gateshead as its suburb. The main reason for this was to allow the Newcastle Hostmen, who controlled the export of Tyne coal, to get their hands on the Gateshead coal mines, previously controlled by the Bishop of Durham. However, when Mary I came to power, Dudley met his downfall and the decision was reversed. The Reformation allowed private access to coal mines previously owned by Tynemouth and Durham priories and as a result coal exports increase dramatically, from 15,000 tons in 1500 to 35,000 tons in 1565, and to 400,000 tons in 1625.
The plague visited Newcastle four times during the 16th century, in 1579 when 2,000 people died, in 1589 when 1700 died, in 1595 and finally in 1597.
In 1600 Elizabeth I granted Newcastle a charter for an exclusive body of electors, the right to elect the mayor and burgesses. The charter also gave the Hostmen exclusive rights to load coal at any point on the Tyne. The Hostmen developed as an exclusive group within the Merchant Adventurers who had been incorporated by a charter in 1547.
Stuart period
In 1636 there was a serious outbreak of bubonic plague in Newcastle. There had been several previous outbreaks of the disease over the years, but this was the most serious. It is thought to have arrived from the Netherlands via ships that were trading between the Tyne and that country. It first appeared in the lower part of the town near the docks but gradually spread to all parts of the town. As the disease gained hold the authorities took measures to control it by boarding up any properties that contained infected persons, meaning that whole families were locked up together with the infected family members. Other infected persons were put in huts outside the town walls and left to die. Plague pits were dug next to the town's four churches and outside the town walls to receive the bodies in mass burials. Over the course of the outbreak 5,631 deaths were recorded out of an estimated population of 12,000, a death rate of 47%.
In 1637 Charles I tried to raise money by doubling the 'voluntary' tax on coal in return for allowing the Newcastle Hostmen to regulate production and fix prices. This caused outrage amongst the London importers and the East Anglian shippers. Both groups decided to boycott Tyne coal and as a result forced Charles to reverse his decision in 1638.
In 1640 during the Second Bishops' War, the Scots successfully invaded Newcastle. The occupying army demanded £850 per day from the Corporation to billet the Scottish troops. Trade from the Tyne ground to a halt during the occupation. The Scots left in 1641 after receiving a Parliamentary pardon and a £4,000,000 loan from the town.
In 1642 the English Civil War began. King Charles realised the value of the Tyne coal trade and therefore garrisoned Newcastle. A Royalist was appointed as governor. At that time, Newcastle and King's Lynn were the only important seaports to support the crown. In 1644 Parliament blockaded the Tyne to prevent the king from receiving revenue from the Tyne coal trade. Coal exports fell from 450,000 to 3,000 tons and London suffered a hard winter without fuel. Parliament encouraged the coal trade from the Wear to try to replace that lost from Newcastle but that was not enough to make up for the lost Tyneside tonnage.
In 1644 the Scots crossed the border. Newcastle strengthened its defences in preparation. The Scottish army, with 40,000 troops, besieged Newcastle for three months until the garrison of 1,500 surrendered. During the siege, the Scots bombarded the walls with their artillery, situated in Gateshead and Castle Leazes. The Scottish commander threatened to destroy the steeple of St Nicholas's Church by gunfire if the mayor, Sir John Marley, did not surrender the town. The mayor responded by placing Scottish prisoners that they had captured in the steeple, so saving it from destruction. The town walls were finally breached by a combination of artillery and sapping. In gratitude for this defence, Charles gave Newcastle the motto 'Fortiter Defendit Triumphans' to be added to its coat of arms. The Scottish army occupied Northumberland and Durham for two years. The coal taxes had to pay for the Scottish occupation. In 1645 Charles surrendered to the Scots and was imprisoned in Newcastle for nine months. After the Civil War the coal trade on the Tyne soon picked up and exceeded its pre-war levels.
A new Guildhall was completed on the Sandhill next to the river in 1655, replacing an earlier facility damaged by fire in 1639, and became the meeting place of Newcastle Town Council. In 1681 the Hospital of the Holy Jesus was built partly on the site of the Austin Friars. The Guildhall and Holy Jesus Hospital still exist.
Charles II tried to impose a charter on Newcastle to give the king the right to appoint the mayor, sheriff, recorder and town clerk. Charles died before the charter came into effect. In 1685, James II tried to replace Corporation members with named Catholics. However, James' mandate was suspended in 1689 after the Glorious Revolution welcoming William of Orange. In 1689, after the fall of James II, the people of Newcastle tore down his bronze equestrian statue in Sandhill and tossed it into the Tyne. The bronze was later used to make bells for All Saints Church.
In 1689 the Lort Burn was covered over. At this time it was an open sewer. The channel followed by the Lort Burn became the present day Dean Street. At that time, the centre of Newcastle was still the Sandhill area, with many merchants living along the Close or on the Side. The path of the main road through Newcastle ran from the single Tyne bridge, through Sandhill to the Side, a narrow street which climbed steeply on the north-east side of the castle hill until it reached the higher ground alongside St Nicholas' Church. As Newcastle developed, the Side became lined with buildings with projecting upper stories, so that the main street through Newcastle was a narrow, congested, steep thoroughfare.
In 1701 the Keelmen's Hospital was built in the Sandgate area of the city, using funds provided by the keelmen. The building still stands today.
Eighteenth century
In the 18th century, Newcastle was the country's largest print centre after London, Oxford and Cambridge, and the Literary and Philosophical Society of 1793, with its erudite debates and large stock of books in several languages predated the London Library by half a century.
In 1715, during the Jacobite rising in favour of the Old Pretender, an army of Jacobite supporters marched on Newcastle. Many of the Northumbrian gentry joined the rebels. The citizens prepared for its arrival by arresting Jacobite supporters and accepting 700 extra recruits into the local militia. The gates of the city were closed against the rebels. This proved enough to delay an attack until reinforcements arrived forcing the rebel army to move across to the west coast. The rebels finally surrendered at Preston.
In 1745, during a second Jacobite rising in favour of the Young Pretender, a Scottish army crossed the border led by Bonnie Prince Charlie. Once again Newcastle prepared by arresting Jacobite supporters and inducting 800 volunteers into the local militia. The town walls were strengthened, most of the gates were blocked up and some 200 cannon were deployed. 20,000 regulars were billeted on the Town Moor. These preparations were enough to force the rebel army to travel south via the west coast. They were eventually defeated at Culloden in 1746.
Newcastle's actions during the 1715 rising in resisting the rebels and declaring for George I, in contrast to the rest of the region, is the most likely source of the nickname 'Geordie', applied to people from Tyneside, or more accurately Newcastle. Another theory, however, is that the name 'Geordie' came from the inventor of the Geordie lamp, George Stephenson. It was a type of safety lamp used in mining, but was not invented until 1815. Apparently the term 'German Geordie' was in common use during the 18th century.
The city's first hospital, Newcastle Infirmary opened in 1753; it was funded by public subscription. A lying-in hospital was established in Newcastle in 1760. The city's first public hospital for mentally ill patients, Wardens Close Lunatic Hospital was opened in October 1767.
In 1771 a flood swept away much of the bridge at Newcastle. The bridge had been built in 1250 and repaired after a flood in 1339. The bridge supported various houses and three towers and an old chapel. A blue stone was placed in the middle of the bridge to mark the boundary between Newcastle and the Palatinate of Durham. A temporary wooden bridge had to be built, and this remained in use until 1781, when a new stone bridge was completed. The new bridge consisted of nine arches. In 1801, because of the pressure of traffic, the bridge had to be widened.
A permanent military presence was established in the city with the completion of Fenham Barracks in 1806. The facilities at the Castle for holding assizes, which had been condemned for their inconvenience and unhealthiness, were replaced when the Moot Hall opened in August 1812.
Victorian period
Present-day Newcastle owes much of its architecture to the work of the builder Richard Grainger, aided by architects John Dobson, Thomas Oliver, John and Benjamin Green and others. In 1834 Grainger won a competition to produce a new plan for central Newcastle. He put this plan into effect using the above architects as well as architects employed in his own office. Grainger and Oliver had already built Leazes Terrace, Leazes Crescent and Leazes Place between 1829 and 1834. Grainger and Dobson had also built the Royal Arcade at the foot of Pilgrim Street between 1830 and 1832. The most ambitious project covered 12 acres 12 acres (49,000 m2) in central Newcastle, on the site of Newe House (also called Anderson Place). Grainger built three new thoroughfares, Grey Street, Grainger Street and Clayton Street with many connecting streets, as well as the Central Exchange and the Grainger Market. John Wardle and George Walker, working in Grainger's office, designed Clayton Street, Grainger Street and most of Grey Street. Dobson designed the Grainger Market and much of the east side of Grey Street. John and Benjamin Green designed the Theatre Royal at the top of Grey Street, where Grainger placed the column of Grey's Monument as a focus for the whole scheme. Grey Street is considered to be one of the finest streets in the country, with its elegant curve. Unfortunately most of old Eldon Square was demolished in the 1960s in the name of progress. The Royal Arcade met a similar fate.
In 1849 a new bridge was built across the river at Newcastle. This was the High Level Bridge, designed by Robert Stephenson, and slightly up river from the existing bridge. The bridge was designed to carry road and rail traffic across the Tyne Gorge on two decks with rail traffic on the upper deck and road traffic on the lower. The new bridge meant that traffic could pass through Newcastle without having to negotiate the steep, narrow Side, as had been necessary for centuries. The bridge was opened by Queen Victoria, who one year later opened the new Central Station, designed by John Dobson. Trains were now able to cross the river, directly into the centre of Newcastle and carry on up to Scotland. The Army Riding School was also completed in 1849.
In 1854 a large fire started on the Gateshead quayside and an explosion caused it to spread across the river to the Newcastle quayside. A huge conflagration amongst the narrow alleys, or 'chares', destroyed the homes of 800 families as well as many business premises. The narrow alleys that had been destroyed were replaced by streets containing blocks of modern offices.
In 1863 the Town Hall in St Nicholas Square replaced the Guildhall as the meeting place of Newcastle Town Council.
In 1876 the low level bridge was replaced by a new bridge known as the Swing Bridge, so called because the bridge was able to swing horizontally on a central axis and allow ships to pass on either side. This meant that for the first time sizeable ships could pass up-river beyond Newcastle. The bridge was built and paid for by William Armstrong, a local arms manufacturer, who needed to have warships access his Elswick arms factory to fit armaments to them. The Swing Bridge's rotating mechanism is adapted from the cannon mounts developed in Armstrong's arms works. In 1882 the Elswick works began to build ships as well as to arm them. The Barrack Road drill hall was completed in 1890.
Industrialisation
In the 19th century, shipbuilding and heavy engineering were central to the city's prosperity; and the city was a powerhouse of the Industrial Revolution. Newcastle's development as a major city owed most to its central role in the production and export of coal. The phrase "taking coals to Newcastle" was first recorded in 1538; it proverbially denotes bringing a particular commodity to a place that has more than enough of it already.
Innovation in Newcastle and surrounding areas included the following:
George Stephenson developed a miner's safety lamp at the same time that Humphry Davy developed a rival design. The lamp made possible the opening up of ever deeper mines to provide the coal that powered the industrial revolution.
George and his son Robert Stephenson were hugely influential figures in the development of the early railways. George developed Blücher, a locomotive working at Killingworth colliery in 1814, whilst Robert was instrumental in the design of Rocket, a revolutionary design that was the forerunner of modern locomotives. Both men were involved in planning and building railway lines, all over this country and abroad.
Joseph Swan demonstrated a working electric light bulb about a year before Thomas Edison did the same in the USA. This led to a dispute as to who had actually invented the light bulb. Eventually the two rivals agreed to form a mutual company between them, the Edison and Swan Electric Light Company, known as Ediswan.
Charles Algernon Parsons invented the steam turbine, for marine use and for power generation. He used Turbinia, a small, turbine-powered ship, to demonstrate the speed that a steam turbine could generate. Turbinia literally ran rings around the British Fleet at a review at Spithead in 1897.
William Armstrong invented a hydraulic crane that was installed in dockyards up and down the country. He then began to design light, accurate field guns for the British army. These were a vast improvement on the existing guns that were then in use.
The following major industries developed in Newcastle or its surrounding area:
Glassmaking
A small glass industry existed in Newcastle from the mid-15th century. In 1615 restrictions were put on the use of wood for manufacturing glass. It was found that glass could be manufactured using the local coal, and so a glassmaking industry grew up on Tyneside. Huguenot glassmakers came over from France as refugees from persecution and set up glasshouses in the Skinnerburn area of Newcastle. Eventually, glass production moved to the Ouseburn area of Newcastle. In 1684 the Dagnia family, Sephardic Jewish emigrants from Altare, arrived in Newcastle from Stourbridge and established glasshouses along the Close, to manufacture high quality flint glass. The glass manufacturers used sand ballast from the boats arriving in the river as the main raw material. The glassware was then exported in collier brigs. The period from 1730 to 1785 was the highpoint of Newcastle glass manufacture, when the local glassmakers produced the 'Newcastle Light Baluster'. The glassmaking industry still exists in the west end of the city with local Artist and Glassmaker Jane Charles carrying on over four hundred years of hot glass blowing in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Locomotive manufacture
In 1823 George Stephenson and his son Robert established the world's first locomotive factory near Forth Street in Newcastle. Here they built locomotives for the Stockton and Darlington Railway and the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, as well as many others. It was here that the famous locomotive Rocket was designed and manufactured in preparation for the Rainhill Trials. Apart from building locomotives for the British market, the Newcastle works also produced locomotives for Europe and America. The Forth Street works continued to build locomotives until 1960.
Shipbuilding
In 1296 a wooden, 135 ft (41 m) long galley was constructed at the mouth of the Lort Burn in Newcastle, as part of a twenty-ship order from the king. The ship cost £205, and is the earliest record of shipbuilding in Newcastle. However the rise of the Tyne as a shipbuilding area was due to the need for collier brigs for the coal export trade. These wooden sailing ships were usually built locally, establishing local expertise in building ships. As ships changed from wood to steel, and from sail to steam, the local shipbuilding industry changed to build the new ships. Although shipbuilding was carried out up and down both sides of the river, the two main areas for building ships in Newcastle were Elswick, to the west, and Walker, to the east. By 1800 Tyneside was the third largest producer of ships in Britain. Unfortunately, after the Second World War, lack of modernisation and competition from abroad gradually caused the local industry to decline and die.
Armaments
In 1847 William Armstrong established a huge factory in Elswick, west of Newcastle. This was initially used to produce hydraulic cranes but subsequently began also to produce guns for both the army and the navy. After the Swing Bridge was built in 1876 allowing ships to pass up river, warships could have their armaments fitted alongside the Elswick works. Armstrong's company took over its industrial rival, Joseph Whitworth of Manchester in 1897.
Steam turbines
Charles Algernon Parsons invented the steam turbine and, in 1889, founded his own company C. A. Parsons and Company in Heaton, Newcastle to make steam turbines. Shortly after this, he realised that steam turbines could be used to propel ships and, in 1897, he founded a second company, Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Company in Wallsend. It is there that he designed and manufactured Turbinia. Parsons turbines were initially used in warships but soon came to be used in merchant and passenger vessels, including the liner Mauretania which held the blue riband for the Atlantic crossing until 1929. Parsons' company in Heaton began to make turbo-generators for power stations and supplied power stations all over the world. The Heaton works, reduced in size, remains as part of the Siemens AG industrial giant.
Pottery
In 1762 the Maling pottery was founded in Sunderland by French Huguenots, but transferred to Newcastle in 1817. A factory was built in the Ouseburn area of the city. The factory was rebuilt twice, finally occupying a 14-acre (57,000 m2) site that was claimed to be the biggest pottery in the world and which had its own railway station. The pottery pioneered use of machines in making potteries as opposed to hand production. In the 1890s the company went up-market and employed in-house designers. The period up to the Second World War was the most profitable with a constant stream of new designs being introduced. However, after the war, production gradually declined and the company closed in 1963.
Expansion of the city
Newcastle was one of the boroughs reformed by the Municipal Corporations Act 1835: the reformed municipal borough included the parishes of Byker, Elswick, Heaton, Jesmond, Newcastle All Saints, Newcastle St Andrew, Newcastle St John, Newcastle St Nicholas, and Westgate. The urban districts of Benwell and Fenham and Walker were added in 1904. In 1935, Newcastle gained Kenton and parts of the parishes of West Brunton, East Denton, Fawdon, Longbenton. The most recent expansion in Newcastle's boundaries took place under the Local Government Act 1972 on 1 April 1974, when Newcastle became a metropolitan borough, also including the urban districts of Gosforth and Newburn, and the parishes of Brunswick, Dinnington, Hazlerigg, North Gosforth and Woolsington from the Castle Ward Rural District, and the village of Westerhope.
Meanwhile Northumberland County Council was formed under the Local Government Act 1888 and benefited from a dedicated meeting place when County Hall was completed in the Castle Garth area of Newcastle in 1910. Following the Local Government Act 1972 County Hall relocated to Morpeth in April 1981.
Twentieth century
In 1925 work began on a new high-level road bridge to span the Tyne Gorge between Newcastle and Gateshead. The capacity of the existing High-Level Bridge and Swing Bridge were being strained to the limit, and an additional bridge had been discussed for a long time. The contract was awarded to the Dorman Long Company and the bridge was finally opened by King George V in 1928. The road deck was 84 feet (26 m) above the river and was supported by a 531 feet (162 m) steel arch. The new Tyne Bridge quickly became a symbol for Newcastle and Tyneside, and remains so today.
During the Second World War, Newcastle was largely spared the horrors inflicted upon other British cities bombed during the Blitz. Although the armaments factories and shipyards along the River Tyne were targeted by the Luftwaffe, they largely escaped unscathed. Manors goods yard and railway terminal, to the east of the city centre, and the suburbs of Jesmond and Heaton suffered bombing during 1941. There were 141 deaths and 587 injuries, a relatively small figure compared to the casualties in other industrial centres of Britain.
In 1963 the city gained its own university, the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, by act of parliament. A School of Medicine and Surgery had been established in Newcastle in 1834. This eventually developed into a college of medicine attached to Durham University. A college of physical science was also founded and became Armstrong College in 1904. In 1934 the two colleges merged to become King's College, Durham. This remained as part of Durham University until the new university was created in 1963. In 1992 the city gained its second university when Newcastle Polytechnic was granted university status as Northumbria University.
Newcastle City Council moved to the new Newcastle Civic Centre in 1968.
As heavy industries declined in the second half of the 20th century, large sections of the city centre were demolished along with many areas of slum housing. The leading political figure in the city during the 1960s was T. Dan Smith who oversaw a massive building programme of highrise housing estates and authorised the demolition of a quarter of the Georgian Grainger Town to make way for Eldon Square Shopping Centre. Smith's control in Newcastle collapsed when it was exposed that he had used public contracts to advantage himself and his business associates and for a time Newcastle became a byword for civic corruption as depicted in the films Get Carter and Stormy Monday and in the television series Our Friends in the North. However, much of the historic Grainger Town area survived and was, for the most part, fully restored in the late 1990s. Northumberland Street, initially the A1, was gradually closed to traffic from the 1970s and completely pedestrianised by 1998.
In 1978 a new rapid transport system, the Metro, was built, linking the Tyneside area. The system opened in August 1980. A new bridge was built to carry the Metro across the river between Gateshead and Newcastle. This was the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge, commonly known as the Metro Bridge. Eventually the Metro system was extended to reach Newcastle Airport in 1991, and in 2002 the Metro system was extended to the nearby city of Sunderland.
As the 20th century progressed, trade on the Newcastle and Gateshead quaysides gradually declined, until by the 1980s both sides of the river were looking rather derelict. Shipping company offices had closed along with offices of firms related to shipping. There were also derelict warehouses lining the riverbank. Local government produced a master plan to re-develop the Newcastle quayside and this was begun in the 1990s. New offices, restaurants, bars and residential accommodation were built and the area has changed in the space of a few years into a vibrant area, partially returning the focus of Newcastle to the riverside, where it was in medieval times.
The Gateshead Millennium Bridge, a foot and cycle bridge, 26 feet (7.9 m) wide and 413 feet (126 m) long, was completed in 2001. The road deck is in the form of a curve and is supported by a steel arch. To allow ships to pass, the whole structure, both arch and road-deck, rotates on huge bearings at either end so that the road deck is lifted. The bridge can be said to open and shut like a human eye. It is an important addition to the re-developed quayside area, providing a vital link between the Newcastle and Gateshead quaysides.
Recent developments
Today the city is a vibrant centre for office and retail employment, but just a short distance away there are impoverished inner-city housing estates, in areas originally built to provide affordable housing for employees of the shipyards and other heavy industries that lined the River Tyne. In the 2010s Newcastle City Council began implementing plans to regenerate these depressed areas, such as those along the Ouseburn Valley.

A 1714 proposal that a new church should be erected in central Leeds foundered for lack of subscribers, but, in 1722, Lady Elizabeth Hastings of Ledston, backed by leading merchants, revived the project, and the foundation stone of Holy Trinity was laid in August 1722.
The architect of the church was for some time believed to be William Halfpenny. However, it has subsequently been discovered that his designs for the church, for which he was paid £1 11s 6d on 8 May 1723, were never executed, and that the architect was William Etty of York. A letter from William Cookson to Ralph Thoresby dated 15 May 1723, enclosed "a draught [sic], the south front of our new church"; it was drawn by Mr. Etty of York, who has also made us a wooden modell for our workmen to go by." Etty had been paid nineteen guineas in April of the same year for the model, which survived into the nineteenth century.
The west tower in Halfpenny's design was topped by a square, open colonnade with an obelisk-shaped spire. Etty did not envisage a spire, but a wooden one was later added by an unknown hand. Thomas Dunham Whitaker, Vicar of Whalley, Lancashire, in his Loidis and Elmete (1816), remarked of this spire: "unquestionably one instance among many of private interference, by which the better judgment of real architects is often overruled, and for which they are unjustly considered as responsible." When the spire blew down in 1839, it was replaced by a taller stone steeple of three diminishing stages.
“Suffer Little Children to Come Unto Me”. Window presented by the Sunday School children Oct 1899.
Church foundation stone 28 Jul 1850 by Bishop Augustus Short, designed by Mr Burnet, opened May 1852, bell installed in tower 1863, new chancel dedicated 20 Dec 1904, re-opened 7 Dec 1930 after renovations, closed c2015, now private. Earliest services had been in the flour mill or Horseshoe Inn. Town originally named “Noarlunga”, renamed “Old Noarlunga” in 1978 after Main South Road by-passed the town in 1972.
“A Meeting of the subscribers for the erection of a Church at Noarlunga, was held on Friday last, when Messrs Bosworth, Hollins, and J. S. Clark were elected trustees. The church will be a very pretty structure of stone from the neighbouring quarries, and it is to be on an acre in the township presented by Mr Giles for the South Australian Company.” [South Australian 26 Jun 1850]
“Noarlunga — The foundation stone of the new church to be dedicated to St. Phillip and St. James, was laid on Friday, the 28th ultimo, by the Bishop of Adelaide, in the presence of a numerous, and highly respectable, concourse of the inhabitants. . . Divine service was performed for the first time on Sunday last, at the ‘Horse Shoe’ Inn. Mr Bock, the worthy landlord, fitted up the room for the occasion, and Miss Plaisted led the various hymns on a splendid organ. . . a great improvement upon the pro tempore places of worship previously used at Noarlunga.” [Adelaide Times 3 Aug 1850]
“The towered church of St. Philip and St. James, Noarlunga, perched on a hill, with the silver ribbon of the Onkaparinga winding in and out at its foot, was designed by Mr. Burnet after the model of a church in England.” [Observer 23 Dec 1905]
“St. Phillip and St. James' Anglican Church. . . When services were first held there the gospel was preached in somewhat trying circumstances. There were no window panes, strips of calico serving instead. No floor had been set down, and the congregation rested their feet on the soil. . . The name of the church is derived from the Christian names of two of the pioneer workers in the district — Messrs. James Hughes and Phillip Hollins. Before the erection of the church the former conducted a Sunday school in a flourmill nearby.” [News 16 May 1929]
“Noarlunga . . . A large bronze bell weighing 120 lbs. has been fixed in the tower of the Episcopal Church here, and will be very useful to the members of that congregation. The gentlemen who have kindly taken the trouble to procure the bell are certainly deserving of the thanks of the members of the church. It is of a good tone, but it has not yet been properly rung. Some trees and shrubs have been planted in the ground adjoining the sacred edifice, but whilst the fence is in an open and decayed state, there can be little hopes of seeing plants grow, as pigs, goats, and calves, are constantly getting into the enclosure.” [Advertiser 22 Aug 1863]
“St. Philip and St. James' Church. . . a lecture and concert was held in Mr. Holmes's wheat store in aid of the funds for plastering and ceiling the church. In the afternoon about 100 persons were present, which number was largely increased in the evening.” [Adelaide Observer 14 Apr 1866]
“The anniversary festival of the Sunday school belonging to St, Philip and St. James's Church was held on Thursday. Eighty children marched from the church to the district school room, singing hymns, were supplied with fruit, spent some time in play, and then were provided liberally with other refreshments. Between 50 and 60 adults were next regaled, and the whole company had a day of thorough enjoyment.” [Register 15 Mar 1871]
“St. Philip and St. James, Noarlunga. . . The Wardens' accounts, which were audited and passed, showed the Church to be in a very satisfactory financial position, and clear of all liabilities. . . discharging the balance of building fund, £25, and left £6 7s. 4d. in hand towards further improvement.” [Register 1 May 1873]
“St Phillip’s and St James' Church, Noarlunga. . . A committee was appointed to consider the question of building new chancel and repairing the church.” [Advertiser 19 Apr 1902]
“A new chancel will be dedicated by the Bishop of Adelaide (Dr. Harmer) at Sts. Philip and James, Noarlunga, on Sunday. The church was completed, with chancel and vestry, in 1867, and the present rector is the Rev. T. Wood.” [Advertiser 16 Dec 1903]
“Noarlunga. . . A beautiful carved blackwood reredos for the Church of St. Phillip and St. James was dedicated by Archdeacon Clampett, of St. Matthew's Church, Hawthorn, last Friday evening. The reredos is erected to commemorate the seventy-fifth birthday of the sacred edifice. . . After the service the congregation and friends met in the local hall. . . The reredos is the work of Mr. Price, of Adelaide.” [Observer 17 Oct 1925]
“Many inconveniences have been suffered by the congregation of St. Phillip and St. James' Anglican Church. . . At present the church is in a sad state of disrepair owing to lack .of funds to cope with the ravages which Time has wrought. Such a pitch has the disrepair reached that on rainy days members of the congregation dare not sit in the back rows, for dripping gutters have no respect for Sunday clothes. Recently, also, two churchgoers were rather fortunate in moving from one of the pews just before a large piece of plaster fell from the ceiling. Large cracks may be seen in various parts of the church, inside and out, and the possibility of more plaster falling presents danger. Some of the window frames has become separated partially from the stonework, and to prevent the entry of wind and rain .newspaper has been stuffed into the space. . . From time to time improvements were made to the church, which now boasts a brick floor and leadlight windows.” [News 16 May 1929]
“the third of a series of dances, arranged by Mr. Keith Maynard, for the restoration fund of St. Philip and James Church, Noarlunga.” [Advertiser 11 Jun 1929]
“Hawdon in his first overland expedition (1839) struck the Horseshoe after coming down the Onkaparinga, and from thence was able to make a beeline for Adelaide. . . Mr. Peter Giles, an octogenarian comeback, says that in his days there were only six houses, a brewery, and a flourmill in Noarlunga. Beautiful trees and shrubs, wattle, honeysuckle, silver wattle, sheaoak, tea tree, and masses of wild flowers grew in profusion and beauty along the river bank to Port Noarlunga. . . Philip Hollins was the father of Onkaparinga River navigation. The barge Appoline was built to be towed between Port Noarlunga by a horse on a tow path (1857). Hollins was also the proprietor of the Horseshoe Hotel. . . The Rev. A. Burnett held the first Anglican services in the district in its lodgeroom (1848-1853). . . In the seventies and eighties Noarlunga was the great changing place of the Yankalilla-Adelaide mail. At the Horseshoe Inn the passengers transhipped into a larger or smaller coach as the case might be.” [Advertiser 28 Oct 1929]
“To celebrate the reopening of St. Philip and St. James Anglican Church, Noarlunga, following renovations at a cost of £200, a back to Noarlunga service will be held on Sunday afternoon. It will be followed by a reunion tea. Archdeacon A. W. Clampett, M.A., will preach. There is a special corner for children in the church. It is in the form of a font presented by scholars of catechism.” [News 3 Dec 1930]
“For eighty-one years the Church of St. Phillip and St. James, Noarlunga, has been a prominent landmark on the main South-road. . . Children of the Catechism have furnished the church with a massive font and a shrine of the Blessed Virgin Mary.” [Advertiser 17 Oct 1931]
“In the Anglican Church at Noarlunga on Sunday, a memorial window to the late Mrs. Eleanor Maynard was unveiled by the rector (Rev. R. E. Saunders). Designed in a mixture of antique and opaque glass, the window shows the Star in the East shining over Bethleham [sic]. Mr. Saunders preached a memorial sermon, taking as text ‘Let your light so shine before men’. Friends of Mrs. Maynard throughout the State contributed to the cost of the window.” [Advertiser 25 Aug 1934]
“Noarlunga. Last week ladles of the St. Phillip and St. James's Church of England Guild conducted a pet show in the institute in aid of the Church of England Diocesan Centenary.” [Advertiser 27 May 1947]
“A Blossom Ball organised by members of the St. Phillip's and St. James's Church of England Guild in aid of the church centenary fund realised £36.” [Advertiser 14 Aug 1947]
“Next Sunday the centenary of St. Philip and St. James Church of England will be celebrated. . . Eucharist, with the Bishop of Adelaide. . . luncheon in Noarlunga Hall. . . Evensong at 3 p.m. . . The first rector was Rev. A. Burnett, who arrived in 1848 and lived in a tent at Willunga. During his term of office the church was contemplated. On July 25, 1850 the land was conveyed under Act 10. 1847, by Messrs. G. F. Angus, Hy. Kingscote and I. R. Todd in trust. . . From 1856 onwards the rectors were Revs. T. R. Neville, E. K. Miller, F. H. Stokes, G. Griffiths, T. Wood, H. C. Thrush, R. E. Saunders and H. J. Hughes, the present rector.” [Advertiser 9 May 1950]
“Edward Giles, who was connected with the South Australian Company and had a farm on the opposite side of the river, gave the land for the church. Mrs. F. Rayner, president of the Ladies' Guild, said originally the church had a slate floor and calico windows.” [News 12 Nov 1952]

I’m a subscriber (and fan) of Ottobre magazine ever since I found it. Yet, I don't sew as much as I would like from their issues.
I’m pretty sure it's because I prefer to follow visual instructions and Ottobre instructions (despite been quite detailed) lack on images.
Even so, I have a few favorites Otto patterns that I keep coming back to. This pinafore even made it to my favorite-list before the issue landed on my mailbox.
It was a pleasure to sew (quick and easy instructions) and Miss M loved it as much as I did (she wore it right away)...
I didn't sew the front bow, which btw looks great on the issue, but probably wouldn't be such a great idea in "real life" (at least with this real life girl, heheh)
Happy *hot* Tuesday collectors! It's finally feeling like summer around here but thankfully our second guest curator, the brilliant Lesley A. Martin, publisher at Aperture Books, has selected a gorgeous set that's all about getting away. Like she said as we were chatting it up last week, wouldn't we all like "a few more sunny beautiful 'lost days' before this summer ends"?
We get into deep (deep space!) conversation about her selections—and you can read on below and check the blog for the full conversation—but first, some news of note for you dear newsletter subscribers.
[Oops! Sorry, if you didn't get full details about the discounted editions in your inbox, make sure you're signed up for the 20x200 newsletter so you'll get the scoop on list-only specials and new guest curator selections next time. Don't miss out again!]

Just enter APADV9 at checkout.
And, without further ado:
Lesley: Hola!
Jen: Hi there, long time no IM, or talk at all! How are you? I was really pleased by your selection because it was totally unexpected.
Lesley: Really?
Jen: I mean I did expect the Umbricos, of course. But I love the other selections you made and how they look together.
Lesley: I'm glad. I thought the selections might be somewhat expected but I couldn't help it—they all fell together pretty naturally and followed a nice thread—in my mind in any case.
Jen: I'm curious about the Let's Get Lost inclusion.
Lesley: That image resonates for me on several levels. First of all, I really, really wouldn't mind a few more sunny beautiful "lost days" before this summer ends. Second of all, how can I resist the Chet Baker reference? It's slightly paraphrased, but still... And well, in this case, it's a nice double layering of places where jazz and photography overlap. The Bruce Weber film, Chet Baker and a cool image that kinda brings these things together in a way that makes me think: yes, please, why DON'T we just get lost. It is the jumping off point for the rest of the selection.
Jen: You jazzy lady, you. That is true. What I really love, and what reinforces my feeling about it being a good idea for CURATORS to make selections from our archives, is the rosy glow you coaxed out of them.
............
Jen: Let's talk about the non-photo selections.
Lesley: Sure.
Jen: So Gary Petersen—who is a super nice guy by the way—and David Corbett: they're both working in/out of strong traditions, building on abstract-expressionism and minimalism. But also, there's a really clever interplay between the two and in an odd way, now that I look at it, Jeff Lewis's work is sort of alike.
Lesley: I love the way David Corbett uses the frame.
Jen: They all have that curvature in common, and yet: three totally different treatments of the surface...
Lesley: Curvy and roundness, yes—but the motion within each image pulls the eye in unique ways.
Jen: I moved ahead in my head, and started looking at all the orbs. Jeff leading me to Rachel, and back around to Penelope's and then putting Chad's piece in there.
Lesley: I got into it. Really, the theme is, in fact, escape. But yeah, the orbs were a key visual motif. This is one of those things that I had to work against, truth be told...
............
Jen: Well, this imagery is certainly celestial, literally and figuratively. But the inclusion of Chad makes it about light rather than shape, in my mind, maybe light AND shape, but when I start or end with him, it's more about that—light.
Lesley: What I like about the mix of the photos and the other mediums, is that the non-photographic material contributes movement and dynamism—the shape and motion thing. And then, for me, the photo-based work contributed an underlying narrative. It truly is about escape.
Jen: Dreamy and kinetic—all at once. You're a freaking GENIUS I say!
Lesley: Aw shucks, I just like to read the tea leaves.
Jen: Yeah, it's a little weird for me to ask people to go through what I've selected and re-sift them.
Lesley: It felt really good to me, to be able to manifest a particular mood based on the possibilities. There are a lot of possibilities for interpretation—I could have gone in several different directions. I started out thinking along the lines of a tech-driven theme—Mark Richards, for example.
Jen: Right. I like that you went for something abstract, and I like how every time I look at it, I notice some different interplay.
Lesley: Yay! I'll also add that some of my other favorites, the Rogowski and the Mann, were on the blog last week, so I didn't pick them. But they're my two favorites not within my theme of inter-planetary escape!
............
Jen: So, what do we listen to on the intergalactic Lesley Martin trip? Any particular track or album?
Lesley: Sun Ra! Sun Ra Visits Planet Earth + Interstellar Low Ways.
Jen: Nice.
Lesley: Space is The Place. Ok. Back to reality though. This was fun!

Plaque acknowledging amalgamation of Port Adelaide & Alberton Primary Schools Jan 2005.
.
Port Adelaide Grammar School opened 1862 with Rev Frank Garrett as master, closed 1868, re-opened by Allen Martin 1870. It was one of several private schools in area taken over 1876 by the government. Then named Port Adelaide Public School, later renamed Port Adelaide Primary School, closed Dec 2004. The Alberton school opened 1892 to relieve crowding in the Port district. And so the Wheel of Fortune turns. . . these 2 schools amalgamated Jan 2005. There were several private schools in Port Adelaide in 1860s; Mr Leslie’s was one (see below).
“Port Adelaide Grammar School. . . may now be considered established. . . the sum of £350 having been guaranteed for three years, they should commence operations. A Committee, consisting of Messrs. Hart, Gliddon, Marryat, Duncan, and Dempster, was appointed to write home at once respecting a master. . . to be a graduate of one of the English Universities, and in holy orders. At the same time the following regulations were agreed to for his general guidance:— That he is not to hold a cure of souls; but may engage in such occasional ministerial work as will not interfere with his scholastic engagements. The school hours, holidays, &c, to be the same as those of St. Peters College.” [Register 25 Mar 1862]
“Port Adelaide Grammar School.— The Rev. Frank Garrett, M.A., Worcester College, Oxford, who was selected by the London Committee as Head Master of this school, arrived on the 19th instant, by the Venilia. . . The subscribers have secured a house at Queenstown as a residence, and have obtained the temporary use of rooms at Port Adelaide until a schoolroom is built. It is expected that the school will open on Monday, the 2nd February, with about 30 scholars, the children of the subscribers.” [Register 27 Jan 1863]
“Port Adelaide Grammar School opens on Monday, February 2, 1863, at 9 o'clock a.m., for the present in rooms attached to the Marine Board. . . Terms for Tuition (payable in advance) £3 3s. per quarter.” [Advertiser 28 Jan 1863 advert]
“the Port Adelaide Grammar School, which has been in operation experimentally for three years, has now been permanently founded, and is about to be incorporated as one of the first endowed schools in this colony. . . to provide the elements of a liberal education by instruction in Latin, Greek, English, arithmetic, and mathematics. . . the desire of its founders is not to advance information, but education. It does not seek to teach trades or practical arts; it doubts whether such specialities can he taught to children. It believes that, if they can be, the children themselves are left as they were found, as nature made them, in the strictest sense uneducated, however much informed. It hopes to give that general training which fits a boy for all pursuits in good time.” [Adelaide Observer 6 Jan 1866]
“This valuable Property comprises a Block of Land; portion of Section 212, having a frontage to the Grand Junction Road. . . on which are erected those substantial Buildings known as the Port Adelaide Grammar School, built of Stone and Brick, and situated only a short distance from the Railway Terminus. The above is admirably adapted for a School or Public Building.” [Register 22 Oct 1868 advert]
“The Rev. Frank Garratt, M.A., Incumbent of All Saint's Church, Hindmarsh, and head master of the Port Adelaide Grammar School, who left the colony for England in the Darra, in the hope of improving his health, prior to leaving was presented with an address and purse containing more than £80.” [Express & Telegraph 4 Jan 1869]
“Port Adelaide Grammar School.—Mr. A. Martin will Open the above School on Wednesday, January 12, as a Boys' Day School, where a good English education will be taught, including algebra, geometry, and plane trigonometry. An Evening Class will be in attendance three evenings of the week, from 7 to 9. Navigation, &c., also taught. For terms apply to Mr. Martin, at the above school.” [Express & Telegraph 12 Jan 1870]
“Port Adelaide Grammar School. . . was originally conducted by the Rev. F. Garrett, under the auspices of a Committee, was closed about two years ago, but at the commencement of the present year was reopened as a private school by Mr. A. Martin, who has now about 50 pupils. . . The first examination took place on Thursday, December 8. . . The classes were carefully examined by the Principal in English history, geography, Scripture history, grammar, and geometry. . . reading and recitations. . . writing. . . [The Chairman] counselled them to be submissive to their teacher.” [Evening Journal 9 Dec 1870]
“the Council of Education have agreed to purchase the building known as the Port Adelaide Grammar School with the house adjoining for £1,300, for the purposes of a public school for the town.” [Register 13 Apr 1876]
Alberton Primary School
“Owing to the overcrowded condition of the Port Adelaide and Lefevre's Peninsula public schools the Government were compelled a few months ago to provide additional accommodation and money was voted for a building in the Alberton district. . . The contractors for the Alberton school, Messrs. Mattinson & Cleave, are making good progress with their work. The contract time will be up next month, but as the ground had to be raised 3 ft. extra precautions had to be taken with the foundations on account of the treacherous nature of the soil, and difficulty was experienced in obtaining freestone the contractors will exceed their time by a few weeks. The building is of brick with freestone dressings. The inside will be colored and divided into seven classrooms. The roof of the building is now on, and the carpenters are working at the inside fixtures. Part of the ground will be asphalted and the rest will be covered with ashes. The school is situated at Long-street, Queenstown, and when completed will accommodate 500 children.” [Advertiser 23 Jun 1892]
“The Alberton school will be opened for work on Monday next under the charge of Mr. Alfred Hardy, late headmaster of the Terowie school.” [Express & Telegraph 29 Sep 1892]
“Two new schools were authorized to be built, and one at Alberton was opened for the admission of scholars on Monday. The morning was a busy one for the teachers, and the work of getting the children into order occupied the greater part of the forenoon. When the scholars were classified the roll was taken, with the following result:— Infants, 50; 1st Class, 80; 2nd Class, 64; 3rd Class, 40; 4th Class, 42; 5th Class, 27; total, 303. About one-third of this number came from private schools in the district, while the others were drawn from tho Port and Woodville Public Schools.” [Register4 Oct 1892]
“in reference to the new school at Alberton. Evidently the school was needed, and with you I congratulate the headmaster on the favorable commencement. But why call it Alberton School when it is in the township of Queenstown? It seems to me to be misleading. There is the same misnomer in regard to the post-office here.” [Express & Telegraph 6 Oct 1892]

The room had been worn out in the service, and replaced by another room and gallery at a further cost. Without such an auxiliary it was impossible to convey that amount of instruction and learning to the number of children they had that the children are capable of receiving.

DSL
Service restored after 8 days suspension.
By: Gul Hamaad Farooqi
CHITRAL:
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) service creates problem for internet users at Chitral.
Besides it Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation (PTCL) media also jammed for
weeks. AS a result hundred of internet
users and PTCL consumers faced great hardships. Reasons behind disconnecting of
Internet services is telling fault in NERA Linko repeater at Lawari top due to
snowfall. Last year its tower had damaged by snowfall and internet (DSL) remained disconnected for
more than 2 months. Causing not only for
consumers problems but also loss for department because of remittance of
utility monthly bills for that period. Its
solar repeater has been installed on the top of Lawari pass which is usually
interrupt by snowfall in winter season. Lawari top which is known as killer
mountain is the main hurdle in the way of Chitral and communication systems
always block due to heavy snowfall on Lawari top having the altitude of 10500
feet from sea level. DSL service was
disturbed since December 28 and Chitrali faced great hardships because of
closing of main road and no other sources of communication. This scribe
contacted Dr. Riaz Inayat Executive Vice President PTCL Islamabad office regarding failure of DSL service in Chitral
EVP Dr. Riaz took immediate action and directed his staff based at Temargara
and Chitral for restoring DSL service at Lawari top. A team was detailed for
this purposes under supervision of Mujahidullah Senior Engineer of PTCL.
They
hired local people from Ziarat and Ashriat having experiences of climbing by
feet on snow bound Lawari top they were supporting a technical person of NERA
who repaired tower at Lawari top and restored DSL and media service of PTCL. It
is worth to mention here that there is great potential of DSL consumers and hundreds
of people visiting Telephone Exchange Chitral for DSL connection but they frustrated
because of limited connection. Social
and political circle of Chitral appeal high ups of PTCL for installing Optical
Fiber link for DSL Broadband service at
Chitral to redress DSL issue at Chitral. According to a survey thousands of
people are desirous for getting DSL broadband connection if Optical Fiber was installed
at Chitral.
