Bexhill-on-Sea Through Time
Bexhill-on-Sea, often simply called Bexhill, is a seaside resort located on the south coast of England, in East Sussex. The town was transformed by the arrival of the railways in the mid-nineteenth century. Once a haunt of smugglers, Bexhill became popular, attracting many to live by the sea or visit the town. The 7th Earl De La Warr developed Bexhill as a fashionable resort, building new streets and grand houses and hotels and later generations continued this work, most famously with the 1930s’ De La Warr Pavilion. Today, the town retains a quiet and dignified appeal for its many visitors and residents.In spite of the many changes that have occurred in Bexhill-on-Sea, the town has retained its identity, with historical buildings alongside the new. This fascinating selection of old and new images of Bexhill-on-Sea will be essential reading for all those who know the area.
Scenic North Wales Bus Journeys
The scenery of North Wales is well known for its breathtaking views and historic landmarks, with towns and villages having their own unique history and modern-day function. But one thing that links them all, quite literally in many instances, is the bus, the ever-vital lifeline for communities enabling people to travel to the shops or to medical appointments, to school or college, or to work. The bus can provide journeys that rail cannot, and does so here with a backdrop of castles, lakes, forests, market towns and the stunning coastline.Travelling from east to west, Simon Ackers visits Wrexham, Flintshire, Denbighshire, Conwy and Gwynedd, with scenic sights framing the variety of bus types and operators as they go about their daily work, with each picture providing an insight into the location and the vehicle.
Nobility and Fortune
Noble Fortunes is the story of how, between 899 and 975, England was transformed from an idea into a kingdom. It is the story of the unification of a nation. It is also the story of a royal family, with a shadowy patriarch and a warrior princess and a dissolute reprobate. It is the story of a deeply principled archbishop and a deeply unprincipled archbishop. It is a story of heroic deeds and squalid misdeeds.Above all, it is the story of an ongoing contest for power: between rival candidates for the throne, between Crown and Church, between north and south, and between the English and the Norse.
London's Titans
The Titan was an integral double-decker bus built by Leyland Motors, becoming the standard double-decker produced by the company in the 1980s. The type was not as popular as its main competitor, the MCW Metrobus. As with this latter model, London Transport was Leyland’s best customer for the Titan. Leyland built one of the prototype Titans to London specification and it was used on trials from Chalk Farm garage in May 1976. The first six entered service with London Transport from Hornchurch garage in December 1978. The first 250 were built at the former AEC facility in Southall. Production then moved north to Leyland’s own factory in Workington. The last members of the fleet were delivered to London Transport in 1984, with 1,125 being built new for London. These were joined by five additional Titans from West Midlands PTE in 1984, as well as a former demonstrator, bringing the total to 1,131. At the time of privatisation, Titans passed to six of the new London operators. A number of Titans passed to London Pride and the Big Bus Company for further use as tour buses. David Beddall documents the Titan’s service in London, both in normal passenger service and as a tour bus, through a diverse selection of high-quality images.

Bradford Murders and Misdemeanours
Bradford in the century between 1850 and 1950 witnessed extraordinary growth and changes. Its wealth was based on the textile industry and the city became known as the ‘wool capital of the world’. It was a city of migrants, many from Ireland, and despite the efforts of philanthropic industrialists such as Titus Salt wealth and poverty often lived close to each other. The city was a breeding ground for crime and Bradford Borough Police Force was formed in the 1840s, dealing with the ‘high crimes’ of murder and large scale robberies and frauds, to ‘low level’ crimes such as petty theft, vagrancy and loitering. Delving into original sources, court reports and newspaper archives, the authors also look at the effects of illegal gambling on crimes before the 1960 Betting & Gaming Act and the particular involvement of young people in crimes and their punishments.This collection of true life crime stories from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries gives a vivid insight into life in Bradford in the past. This book will fascinate anyone with an interest in the history of crime as well as those who want to know more about the history of Bradford.
A History of Bus Operators in Preston
The earliest recorded operators of buses in Preston were pioneers who provided services from nearby surrounding villages in the 1910s. The local town services were initially provided by the Corporation’s tramway system with buses only being introduced in 1922. From 1919, Ribble Motor Services gradually became the dominant operator connecting the town to the rest of Lancashire and beyond. Other significant operators were J. Fishwick & Sons, Scout Motors and Viking Motors.The various out-of-town operators established their own bus stations in the town centre while the Corporation bus services used on-street stands. This situation prevailed until 1969 when a new central bus station was opened in the centre and all bus services were transferred accordingly.This book also details special services such as football and works buses and holiday traffic, which used to snake along the Arterial Road (Blackpool Road) in the postwar boom years carrying holidaymakers to the Fylde coast in their tens-of-thousands. The once-every-twenty-years Preston Guild and its impact on local services over the years is not without mention.Mike Rhodes documents the bus operators who have served Preston with many rare and unpublished photographs and informative captions.
Secret Kilmarnock
Kilmarnock is the largest town in Ayrshire. For much of its history it was a market town serving the surrounding area but during the Industrial Revolution it became a manufacturing centre. Connected to the harbour at Troon and later Glasgow by the new railway network, coal, goods and passengers were transported to and from Kilmarnock. The town grew rapidly, swallowing neighbouring villages, and became known for businesses as Johnnie Walker, Saxone Shoes, DMK Carpets and Andrew Barclay Sons & co locomotive builders. Although many of these businesses have now disappeared Kilmarnock has diversified and regenerated, and in this book local journalist, historian and author Frank Beattie explores lesser known aspects of the town’s past, highlighting its strong cultural as well as industrial heritage.With tales of remarkable characters, unusual events and tucked away or disappeared historical buildings and locations, Secret Kilmarnock will appeal to all those with an interest in the history of this town in Ayrshire.
BAE Hawk
The BAE Hawk jet trainer was first delivered to the RAF in November 1976 – fifty years ago. Since then, the aircraft has been extensively used by the RAF (and Royal Navy), still seeing service with the Red Arrows Aerobatic Team and in the advance flying training role. The Hawk has been an export success for the UK aviation industry, with worldwide sales ranging from Finland to Australia, Canada to the Middle and Far East. A major success was selling the design to the US Navy. The final Hawks produced were delivered to Qatar in 2022. This was proof of the aircraft’s original excellent design in the 1970s by a team from Hawker Siddeley. One of their aims was to produce an aircraft that could be assembled by the purchasing country’s aviation industry. Over the years the Hawk evolved to meet customer needs resulting in the development of a number of versions. As well as the original two-seat trainer, a single-seat ground-attack version was also produced.Covering the Hawk’s design, evolution and worldwide use, this book contains a number of previously unseen illustrations and highly informative text.
Kent's Pilgrim Routes
Thanks to Chaucer and his Canterbury Tales, the path along the North Downs to Thomas Becket’s shrine in Canterbury Cathedral is the most famous pilgrim route in the world. Yet there is another Canterbury pilgrim path that is 600 years older - the Augustine Camino that runs from Rochester via Canterbury to Ramsgate. It venerates St Augustine, who brought Christianity to Kent in 597AD, and takes in the place he landed as well as the two cities where he built cathedrals. In recent years St Augustine’s central place in England’s religious and cultural history has been marked formally by a new shrine dedicated in 2012 to him in St Augustine’s church in Ramsgate. Another pilgrim path is recently re-discovered Old Way, which runs to Canterbury from the south and takes in the lovely pilgrim churches of the Romney Marsh. In this book Andy Bull, who has been researching Britain’s pilgrim paths for many years explores these and many other pilgrim routes in Kent and the historic places and people associated with them.Kent''s Pilgrim Routes: A History of Paths, Places and People will appeal to all those who enjoy walking and exploring Britain’s heritage. Through this book readers and walkers today can explore the full breadth of Kent’s rich pilgrim history and the fascinating history to be discovered en route.
Land Rover Discovery 3 & 4
Ever since its first launch in 1989, the Land Rover Discovery has stood for robust durability and practicality both off and on-road. When the Discovery 3 was launched in 2004, it represented a step-change from the earlier models, with much higher levels of equipment and a higher degree of luxury as well. The Discovery 4 continued the same theme, with additional improvements and refinements. In this book, Rover expert james Taylor examines the background and development of the L319 platform, common to both models, and the different types within each range. The book also covers the G4 Challenge vehicles and special editions, including the emergency vehicles and armoured derivatives. It also covers the US models, known as the LR3 and LR4.Including a wide range of colour photographs, this is an essential expert guide to two Discovery models that are widely regarded as some of the best SUVs in the world.
Therapy Dogs in Schools
Therapy Dogs in Schools: An Evidence-Based Protocol for Best Practice outlines the Professional Application of Therapy Dogs in Schools (PATS) protocol. The PATS protocol provides K–12 school professionals with a structured sequence for planning, implementing, and evaluating a school-based therapy dog program that ensures community safety, attends to animal welfare, and maximizes program impact. Therapy dog program goals include improved emotional, behavioral, and academic outcomes and promoting a positive school culture. Leading researchers in the field of animal-assisted interventions and services cite the critical need for this type of protocol, especially as the number of dogs in schools has risen dramatically in the last decade. The PATS protocol is the first evidence-based guide to provide administrators, staff, and therapy dog handlers with tools to plan, implement, and evaluate a school-based therapy dog program. Currently, there are no laws governing the incorporation of therapy dogs in schools. The PATS protocol has the potential to increase the professionalism of therapy dog program implementation by addressing school safety, ensuring canine welfare, and maximizing program outcomes. This book is for school professionals and volunteers alike, to identify how to maintain a therapy dog program and how to support the school community when it is time to retire a therapy dog.
Churches of Lincolnshire
Lincolnshire is a large county that historically has been relatively unexplored. Yet its legacy of historic churches is as rich as any county in England. Mediaeval Lincolnshire owed its wealth – and churches - to maritime trade and wool production and the influence of a myriad of monasteries and its cathedral. However, changing economic conditions have also seen depopulation and remote churches remind us of communities which didn’t survive. As populations moved to towns and manufacturing centres during the Industrial Revolution, new churches were built and all these changes are represented in the parish churches of the Lincolnshire, which range from large Saxon structures at Barton upon Humber, tiny Norman churches like Coates by Stow, through grand wool churches at Swineshead and Gedney to a Georgian gem at Oxcombe. All these are among the selection of characteristic Lincolnshire church buildings from across the county that are described and illustrated in this book.This fascinating picture of an important part of the history of Lincolnshire over the centuries will be of interest to all those who live in or are visiting this attractive county in England.

Ilaria
One afternoon in May, 8-year-old Ilaria gets into the car with her father, expecting to go out to dinner with her mother and sister. Instead, she is taken across the border, on a whirlwind road trip around Italy with her father, from Trieste to Rome and Sicily, sleeping in roadside hotels and singing to the radio. But Ilaria's father is unpredictable, and she never knows which version of him she will get: charming and funny, or volatile and drunk. Torn between her life in Geneva with her mother and this strange shifting adventure on the road, Ilaria doesn't know who to side with in her parents' acrimonious separation. Throughout her travels, Ilaria meets a rag-tag cast of characters, learns how to light a cigarette, discovers when is best to keep quiet around her father, and finds comfort in her lovable teddy bear Birillo. Ilaria's voice is singular and powerful. Based on the author's own experience, this deeply moving novel captures the blurred lines between love and harm, memory and reality, fear and wonder. Ilaria is a haunting, intimate coming of age story about a girl who is forced to grow up too soon, and about the fragile moments of beauty she finds along the way.
