By adopting the strategy, the City Corporation has committed to: Alan worked in Zimbabwe’s widely known tobacco industry for five years before joining his father and ultimately taking over the family business when his father retired to the UK. Later on, Alan was involved in the travel, tourism, hotel, property, financial, and retail sectors. His service to his community took the form of Rotary International with a committed focus on the Rotary Youth Exchange Program.

I set about researching these events to see if they really did in facthappen – and the more I discovered, the more fascinated I became Map of Early Modern London: Langbourn Ward - Historical Map and Encyclopedia of Shakespeare's London (Scholarly)The plot-owners have a special responsibility to each other to maintain their gardens, as the maintenance of their gardens in good condition adds very considerably to the appearance of the Estate and so contributes to the general well-being of everyone. lt is advisable to avoid excessive areas of concrete; keeping lawns in trim lends a note of smartness. There is also a tendency to allow hedges to overgrow the footpaths, and this destroys the regularity of vistas. We would also like each plot-owner to feel some responsibility for the tree in front of his propeny, not only when new trees are planted, running the risk of vandalism, and shortage of water, but to report any general damage to a tree, broken branches and the like, with which our gardeners could help. Barton's denial of the stream thus rests on Stowe's description, which describes a route far to the west of the one proposed by Bentley. The local alderman and others involved in the project are commemorated in an inscription on the ornamental pond in the central garden area. cannot verify, so I resorted to a little imagination to allow the storyto flow in a way that I believe would have allowed certain known

There is a second possibility given by Ekwall, a derivation from either the brook name Hlōra, or the mythical Norse female name Hlóra. The brook name derived from the Old English hlōwan meaning "The roaring one". This implies a swift stream with foaming water. [7] This derivation may seem unlikely given the short length of the stream, but the watercourse was steep, and 'roaring' does correspond with Stow's description.

How we make a difference

Built as an early gated community, the estate currently has two main access roads, the upper one to Highgate West Hill closing every night until mid-morning, the lower one to Swains Lane being closed randomly with access then controlled by estate staff. This maintains the private status of the estate roads and stops a right of way being created. The 1598 Survey of London [7] records the course of the Langbourn river. The entry notes that the Langbourne had ceased to flow by the time the entry was written. I find it sad to think that a story of this magnitude could so easilyhave slipped into historical oblivion, and therefore it is my hope that

Parking charges apply during the high season only, which runs from the 1st March to the 31st October and from 9am until 6pm. Langbourn is one of 25 wards of the City of London, electing an alderman to the Court of Aldermen and three councilmen (the City equivalent of a councillor) to the Court of Common Council of the City of London Corporation. Only electors who are a freeman of the City of London are eligible to stand. On the other side of the River Esk by the Captain Cook museum is the Church Street car park. This car park has 95 spaces, 3 of which are disabled. Bentley interprets this evidence as a stream called the Lorteburn recorded east of Seething Lane in the late 13th century.

Gradually the two funds were merged; more and more the plot-owners realised the good sense behind the VMF and soon practically 100% of the plot-owners were contributing, including Camden Borough Council, the owners of the flats. Plot-owners and Camden contribute approximately 50% each to the Estate’s income, and accounts are circulated at each of the Committee’s AGMs. There was no sign remaining of the brook in Stow's time and his derivation of the name seems to be purely mythical. There is no reason to suppose that there was ever a brook or stream running in this direction in this part of the City, and the levels along the streets do not indicate the existence of the bed of a stream.

this book will piece their stories together and bring their incredible lifeinto the light of day for my readers to enjoy. Burn or Bourne is a standard name for smaller streams and river, common in the area of London, for example the nearby rivers Ravensbourne, Tyburn and Westbourne. In place names it normally means 'stream'. [7] Archaeological evidence [ edit ] A very different course is described in 1603 by John Stow, [5] [11] giving the name as 'Langborne' and describing the route as running along Fenchurch Street, Lombard Street, and Sherbourn Lane. Stow states that the river gave its name to the Langbourn ward of the City of London. The stream was either covered over or dry by his time. May have been rebuilt when the L. and N. W. Ry. Goods station and depot were erected in the neighbourhood. Lancaster, Soc. of The last trees to be mentioned are those planted on the east side of the estate against the cemetery wall. The high cemetery wall was a safeguard against grave robbing, ended by the Anatomy Act of 1832. The plane trees were planted probably as a screen against the sight of the tombs and graves, many people finding it unpleasant constantly to be reminded of their mortality It was unfortunate that the plane tree was chosen although it certainly produces a first-class summer screen, growing to an enormous size.
