Sons, Servants and Statesmen

The origins of the maritime city of Plymouth can be traced back to Saxon times, when farmland on a small peninsula at the mouth of the river Plym developed into Sutton Harbour, the hub of medieval Plymouth. During medieval times the town established its reputation both as a centre for voyage and discovery, particularly during the Elizabethan era, and for its military importance. Maritime trade and industries based in the dockyard, coupled with a steadily growing population, led to the renaming of Plymouth Dock as Devonport in 1824. Ninety years later the three towns of Plymouth, Devonport and Stonehouse were united as the Borough of Plymouth, which was granted City status in 1928. During the Second World War Plymouth was one of the most severely bombed cities in Britain, and large areas had to be completely rebuilt in peacetime. The end of the Cold War and defence cuts has led to the development of new industries to replace those which relied heavily on the dockyard and maritime trade.

Queen Victoria's children

History

Europe

A. Sutton

Queen Victoria and Albert, the Prince Consort, had nine children who, despite their very different characters, remained a close-knit family. Inevitably, as they married into European royal families their loyalties were divided and their lives dominated by political controversy. This is not only the story of their lives in terms of world impact, but also of personal achievements in their own right, individual contributions to public life in Britain and overseas, and as the children of Queen Victoria and the Prince Consort.

David Jacobs, Alan Freeman, John Peel, Tommy Vance and Roger Scott were in their different ways five of the greatest pioneering British disc jockeys of the last sixty years. All were accomplished media personalities in their own right, and all were passionate and well-informed about the music they presented on radio and sometimes television. Jacobs, a much-respected broadcaster for over sixty years, was the face of 'Juke Box Jury' and the maestro of easy listening and songs from the shows; 'Fluff' Freeman the pop-picker, who introduced the Top 20 rundown, later championing heavy and progressive rock, followed by opera and the classics; Peel revelled in the alternative music scene generally shunned by most daytime presenters; Vance, 'the Music Vendor' the friend and lover of hard rock and New Wave of British Heavy Metal; and Scott an eclectic mix of genres in a career which sadly proved all too short. This book examines the lives and careers of each.
