Talk:Hoxton

"Yuppified"
yuppified? no one uses that word in the east end especially not in hoxton!

Gilbert and George 'live' in Spitalfields. Emin lived on Brick Lane.
 * Tracey Emin and Gilbert and George live on Fournier Street, Spitalfields. The Chapman Brothers are also based in Spitalfields (Fashion Street). This article refers to residents 'In recent years', but what is the timescale of recent? Randomdaftname 20:29, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Curtain Road was established as an artists centre earlier, atleast in the early 80s.

 * 'Fraid 'yuppified' is in use, though I try to avoid it personally. I will not speak for the trendy bit of Hoxton, but it's common enough usage in north Hackney, I hear it all the time. But this piece and Shoreditch need a lot of work anyway. In particular, disentangling Shoreditch and Hoxton needs doing. Plus there is no mention here of the non-trendy parts of Hoxton, which cover a large area, largely estates, but abutting on to the historic market with the Music Hall and all that... Tarquin Binary 16:07, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Hoxton and Shoreditch
About half this article describes 'South Shoreditch' rather than Hoxton! As far as I'm aware the southern border of Hoxton has always been Old Street. Therefore to describe the former Shakespearian theatres of Curtain road as being in Hoxton is just plain wrong. The merging of identities between Hoxton and Shoreditch either side of Old street describes a socio-cultural phenomenon (the rise of the 'Shoreditch Twat') which only started in the 90's. To retroject this identity back to the 16th century is incorrect Colin4C 20:35, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

I'd suggest you go ahead and change it! Geography gets tough, and the continuous buildings probably merged as early as Tudor times! You're damn right about Curtain Rd though ... maybe this article should have the material we spoke about earlier on the Britannia Music Hall; and of course Hoxton Hall in Hoxton High Street. I think 'our Trace' used to live on Gt Eastern - which of course is again, Shoreditch ... The article would certainly benefit from being sectioned, to make some sense of the historical and modern aspects. I prefer 'trend-settlers' to 'yuppies'! Kbthompson 13:23, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

More geography ... Hoxton was a rural part of Shoreditch until the vestry reorganisation of 1820 (damn those vestries again). Have a look at ;  (this puts the original site of the Britannia beyond Circus Space) and  is a mine of information - if a little patchy. Googling 'Hoxton Mad Houses' is also a major time distraction, but as I said somewhere else, 'the more it changes, the more it stays the same' ... I think the problem of the BritArt movement happily moving across Hoxton, Shoreditch and Tower Hamlets could be resolved by a seperate article. Kbthompson 13:44, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Replaced 'shakespeare' misinformation with genuine Hoxton history; ShoHo stuff moved to another section - where it kinda makes more sense - will revisit it. Need to revisit and extend history and put in some references. Note to self - add history of vestry power and rubbish - also found some local references to gunpowder plot, but haven't followed it up - probably those dastardly Treshams again. Your thoughts/edits welcomed Kbthompson 17:31, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Hoxton was part of the Metropolitan Borough of Shoreditch until 1965. Historically Shoreditch has until recently been the senior partner in the contested relationship between the two. Thus it is plausible to locate the Britannia Music Hall as in both Hoxton and Shoreditch. What would be wrong though would be to locate Curtain road or (say) Shoreditch High Street as in Hoxton. 'Hoxton' was a sub-species genera of 'Shoreditch' until, as mentioned before, the awesome world-shaking rise of the Shoreditch twat in the 90's gave ShoHo/Hoxditch a distinctive identity of its own. As far as I can make out the latter is an amalgam the southern part of Hoxton (north Hoxton still being off-limits for Twats and/or trend-setters) and 'South Shoreditch', though I have noticed a certain Hoxtonisation (trendy bars etc) of Shoreditch High Street lately. However, I am still puzzled as to whether there is a 'west-Hoxton' or if by going in this direction you re-enter a penumbra of a 'greater Shoreditch'. Maybe someone who lives there could tell us... Colin4C 08:58, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree with what you say, but I'm not sure we can make too much of the distinction. Historically Hoxton (rural Shoreditch)->independent parish (ie vestry committee)->Shoreditch boro->Hackney; so, there's one conflation over time. There's another in people's heads about the area. The trendy bars, the new media organisations, the artists - and what I don't think the article makes clear is that these are linked, but very different movements. I remember Hoxton in the late 70's when the Treble Cleff and Bass Cleff were in Hoxton Mkt, and at the forefront of jazz and world music; they're gone, but that's probably the first gentle spring of 'trendification'. I'm too aged to go into 'yoof' trends, so don't know about the modern clubs. I think the place for the article is probably here, linked from Shoreditch, as Hoxton Sq has some seminal importance to the trend. It certainly needs rewriting to remove the geo-confusion from people's heads, but to show it's a distinct change affecting a wide area. Wandering again, I went to see a new media organisation, on Old Street. They had a drum kit in their office, I knew there would be no major synergy here! (PS I was glad I got the madhouse reference in). West Hoxton, is surely over by Old Street roundabout, and associated with things like Jamie Oliver's restuarant? Kbthompson 09:47, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I think, that despite the creation of a Hoxton parish (plus others) out of the original parish of St Leonards, in the 19th century, that authority over the whole area was still invested in the Shoreditch vestry - whose jurisdiction was later subsumed by Shoreditch Borough Council.

As for West Hoxton/Shoreditch anomaly I was thinking particularly of the presence of Shoreditch Park NW of Hoxton. This is not in ShoHo/Hoxditch either...On a slightly different topic I find that Pimlico used to be in Hoxton, as the name of a pub or brand of ale, before migrating (by stages...) to its present position...Colin4C 10:55, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

I think I can resolve that one. The Pimlico Pleasure Gardens used to be on the site of the Britannia. From British History on-line ...

Etymology of Pimlico—

''The name Pimlico is clearly of foreign derivation, and it has not a little puzzled topographers. Gifford, in a note in his edition of Ben Jonson, tells us that "Pimlico is sometimes spoken of as a person, and may not improbably have been the master of a house once famous for ale of a particular description;" and we know, from Dodsley's "Old Plays," and from Ben Jonson's writings, that there was another Pimlico at Hoxton, or (as the place was then termed) Hogsdon, where, indeed, to the present day there is a "Pimlico Walk." It is evident, from a reference to The Alchemist of Ben Jonson, that the place so named at "Hogsdon" was a place of resort of no very good repute, and constantly frequented by all sorts of people, from knights, ladies, and gentlewomen, down to oyster-wenches:— Gallants, men, and women, And of all sorts, tag-rag, been seen to flock here, In these ten weeks, as to a second Hogsdon, In days of Pimlico.

''In another play of about the same period a worthy knight is represented as sending his daughter to Pimlico "to fetch a draught of Derby ale." It is antecedently probable, therefore, that the district lying between Chelsea and St. James's Park should have got the name from an accidental resemblance to its antipodes at Hoxton. And this supposition is confirmed by Isaac Reed, who tells us, in Dodsley's "Old Plays," how that "a place near Chelsey is still called Pimlico, and was resorted to within these few years on the same account as the former at Hogsdon." It may be added that Pimlico is still celebrated for its ales, and also that the district is not mentioned by the name of Pimlico in any existing document prior to the year 1626.''

So, Pimlico was probably a foreign person, who ran insalubrious pleasure gardens at Hoxton, and the w London version is derived from the area providing similar entertainments in later times. HTH Kbthompson 11:40, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Colin, thank you for your amendments. In particular, 'damn that passive voice'! I was particularly pleased to chase down the gunpowder plot material. Hoxton was a real cross-generational hotbed of catholics. It's actually beginning to look like quite a nice article. I answered your Huguenot question in Whitechapel, if a little belattedly ... 22:46, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Wiki not a directory ...
There's a couple of problems with this edit.
 * 1) Hoxton and Shoreditch are world famous as a centre of 'new' art.
 * 2) Prior discussion on a number of the Hackney pages has indicated that there is a demand for such a list.

While I absolutely agree that Wiki is not intended to advertise services, or to merely list local services, it does exist to reflect the nature and character of the area. But then, perhaps you didn't read the articles before committing the edits? Kbthompson 08:31, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

The following was removed from the maintext ...

Cultural Attractions in Hoxton & around
''This list includes some attractions in nearby Shoreditch, some in Bethnal Green. The Sho-Ho gallery scene is in constant flux, so the list is by no means complete, and many of the original Hoxton galleries have now moved further afield - as leases expire and gentrification takes its toll'' ''Most private galleries are free, but it is normally best to contact them first to check both the exhibition and if there is a need to make an appointment. The information here has been verified in October 2006''
 * Victoria Miro Gallery 16 Wharf Road, N1 (private gallery in converted Victorian furniture factory
 * Book Works 19 Hollywell Row, EC2 (art publishers)
 * Vertigo 62 Great Eastern Street, EC2 (private gallery in former ropeworks)
 * Bookart Bookshop 17 Pitfield Street, N1

This has now been put back in the article, see UK geography 'Places of Interest' for justification as per wiki UK policy. Kbthompson 14:53, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I have removed it again, as it is much too long, impossible to keep up to date, and there are plenty of websites that offer arts listings. There is already an overemphasis on art in the article, as galleries etc can only be really found at the south end of Hoxton and. From a quick survey, maybe two or three galleries at most on the list are even in hoxton anyway. 78.86.18.55 (talk) 12:56, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Notes and References
Just wondering why the notes and references have been placed in the body of the article, after the historical section, rather than at the end of the article. This could result in a bizarre situation unparrelled in the wikipedia if someone added notes to the text in the sections after the notes and references section. Colin4C 13:59, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

 * HiCol, I'd be surprised if people added notes and references to the sections below the article, I just noted in several places, that that section is drifting further and further away from what it references. 'Residents' shouldn't have substantive content, 'travel' shouldn't have notes, similarly 'external links'. So, I don't think it would be a problem (famous last words ...).
 * On another matter, wodja think of removing the galleries? Several people specifically said it was a good idea ... but the guy does have a point. Kbthompson 15:36, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

 * IMHO anything in the wikipedia which provides positive information about a subject is OK: including the location of art galleries (which, as you say, is what Hoxton is mostly famous for these days). Readers can then make what they want (or not) out of it. However I noticed that the guy who removed the section is an admin, so maybe it's best not to get on the wrong side of him...as we might get sucked into an edit war on the minutiae of wikipedantry and get hammered into the canvas by the masters of that arcane art.Colin4C 18:05, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I think it's a call that could go either way; that's why I didn't immediately put it back. I'll get on the wrong side of anyone, if I know I'm right, but this is indeterminate; and I'm too old to feel emotionally attached to it. I had a go at fiddling with Haggerston, but it seems uniquely placed as having the world completely pass it by (on the other side of the road). Kbthompson 18:24, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I ventured into Haggerston once: but I was young and foolish in those days. Another thing I was wondering about is the private mental asylums of Hoxton. I'm sure there is a tale to tell there: most probably a Gothic one of heiresses driven mad and locked up by their conniving relations who want to get their hands on their assets. Colin4C 19:05, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

 * You can see them on this, I thought I'd included a reference, but I guess I discarded it because it's CR - Map of Hoxton Madhouses. If you really want to go barmy - if only for the page design, try this. The story doesn't seem that Gothic - more the middle classes stockpiling their inconvenient relatives. These were paying guests, so were well treated. It's the public asylums, attached to the workhouses that are far more Gothic horror. Kbthompson 19:33, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Trying to remember where Renfield the wannabee vampire lunatic in 'Dracula' was incarcerated. I don't think it was in a public asylum, but he was rather in a private asylum run by Dr Seward, but whether that was in Hoxton I'm somewhat doubtful. I think there is a private madhouse featured in Wilkie Collins' 'The Woman in White', which however I have never read...As for the public asylums yes, I seem to recall Boris Karloff as the sadistic overseer in the film 'Bedlam', getting his charges to do a variety act at Vauxhall Gardens (as one does...). Colin4C 12:34, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Dr Seward's establishment is next to Carfax Abbey - for plot purposes; the Abbey I believe is thought to lie in the region of Purfleet ... Doesn't most of the action of Woman in White occur in Fulham? There's a section where they hide in the 'forest of houses'; but I don't think that's identified ... There were literally thousands of private asylums, many at places like Epping; just out London, but not too close! Kbthompson 13:06, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Western Boundary
The "New North Road" boundary seems a little far east to me. For example the Church of the Holy Trinity is located in Hoxton, and is some way to the west of the stated boundary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by EdwardLockhart (talk • contribs) 12:14, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

From this map it looks like the boundary in the western area would be Regents Canal / Wharf Rd / City Rd, then along Old St before turning South along Paul St. That seems plausible to me. Anyone else? EdwardLockhart (talk) 12:51, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

For that matter, Jamie Oliver's restaurant is mentioned as being in Hoxton, but is also west of the New North Road. I'm going to change this. EdwardLockhart (talk) 14:38, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Hoxton Hero
Hadouken! refers to hoxton heroes as wearing skinny fit jeans and dressed in pink. Should this be included? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Khanelias (talk • contribs) 09:46, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * It's both a bit too peripheral to the topic; and WP:TRIVIA - which is generally discouraged in articles. Notable references would be an entire novel, or film, set in Hoxton. Even then they would need references to indicate some 'cultural importance'. HTH Kbthompson (talk) 11:58, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

There's also a Girls Aloud B-side called "Hoxton Heroes" (about the indie music scene in Hoxton). Now, that's an obscure reference that certainly isn't notable!Richard Gadsden (talk) 15:02, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Bogons
Please explain this edit, and what is a "bogon"?  Ty  00:51, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Rivington Street, Curtain Road and Charlotte Road are all in Shoreditch. I know there's an overlap (among lazy verbalists and journalists), but:

 * "During this time, this happened in Shoreditch, and this happened in Shoreditch, and this happened in Shoreditch and Hoxton"

 * - is more ontopic as "this happened in Shoreditch and Hoxton". Hence the snip. The "bogon" is the unit of "bogosity" :-)

 * chocolateboy (talk) 08:56, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Unnecessarily gnomic; I wrote a lot of the history section, but left the 'today' section well alone - having little knowledge of Hoxton after the demise of the Bass Clef. I think the reason why they stuck it in was that much of art scene revolved around Hoxton Sq - but with rising rents, they spread throughout the surrounding low-rent areas of Bethnal Green and Shoreditch. Maybe there should be something about the YBAs - certainly they exhibited and arranged whatever they call 'happenings' these daze around the area. That section could do with a rewrite - with its concentration on satirising the denizens of Hoxton - not that many don't deserve it, but that section is hardly encyclopaedic. cheers Kbthompson (talk) 09:43, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

 * "Unnecessarily gnomic". Yeah, I should have gone with "trim offtopiary". What can I say? Edit summary d'escalier?

 * As for the Today section, devoting one paragraph out of five to well-known and well-documented satires of the area's denizens is hardly a "concentration".

 * chocolateboy (talk) 10:38, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The trouble with these new media fads is that they are self-referential. While they seem deprecatory, they were jokes perpetuated in the locality against themselves in order to boost their own publicity - em, maybe the galleries played that game too ... Still, if there's anyway you can improve that section, it would be appreciated. Kbthompson (talk) 11:19, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I chopped most of the crap out of that section a while back (as an IP). I don't reckon it's too bad at the moment. Brilliantine (talk) 23:27, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * There's only one gallery mentioned now. Is that how it happened, what happened to White Cube? The LUX - were they all Bogons? Oh, yeah, it represents many of the Young British Artists, so it must be. But hang on, weren't these physical buildings around Hoxton Square with actual exhibitions - with people who got mentioned in Sunday supplements rather than the satirical product of low circulation self-promoting fanzines? Kbthompson (talk) 23:46, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Probably white cube should go back in - I was trying to edit in rather a hurry at the time and maybe over-pruned slightly. But there was an awful lot of "shoho-hoxditch" gushing fawning rubbish then, I think. I will try and re-edit the section within the next day ot two, if you have no objection? Brilliantine (talk) 23:54, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Certainly, any help would be much appreciated - probably with refs to the serious sections of newspapers, rather than the thick furniture buying bits ...

East End?
The statement that '...it is often described as part of the East End' needs to be qualified & sourced. It is not supported in the body of the article. It's a long time since I lived in London, but the map shows Hoxton almost exactly central in Greater London, and the lead states it is north of the City, which is about as central as you can get. I don't doubt the statement, '...is often described...', we just need to know by whom it is or was so described. I've tagged it.

Several other articles on nearby districts (Hackney, Shoreditch, Bethnal Green etc.) make similar unreferenced 'East End' statements. Needs a London geographer/historian. , can you help? --D Anthony Patriarche (talk) 02:28, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Would also be interesting to know whether this is historical usage—when London was much smaller—or current or both. --D Anthony Patriarche (talk) 02:36, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * This is discussed in East End of London, and I've copied a couple of references from there (unfortunately without specific page numbers). Hoxton is undoubtedly widely regarded/promoted as being in the East End, albeit on the extremes of its north-western perimeter. Yes, it's north of the City, but the City isn't the same as Central London, and hasn't been for some 400 years: the notional "centre" of London is the West End (or, specifically, Charing Cross).

Talk:Isle of Dogs

Etymology
Does anyone know the etymology of the Isle of Dogs? - David Stewart 11:05 9 Jul 2003 (UTC)

This is indeed a vexed question! There are those that maintain that it got its name from the King's kennels, which, it is claimed, were handy for the royal palace at Greenwich. Unfortunately this explanation is belied by the fact that there never were any kennels on the Island. Others say that the flotsam washed up by the entrance to Poplar Gut became a regular source of food for local canines. Certainly the first reference is generally recognised as referring to the corner of the Island by Empire Wharf in a document referring to concerns that the Spanish Armada might sail up the Thames. The hope was they would be stopped before they got a chance to pillage Greenwich.

However the term I favour is that it refers to the number of dog tacks required to circumnavigate the Island. In days gone by, ships would stock up with victuals and other supplies in Deptford or Wapping before setting off on a long voyage. However sailing around the Island always proved difficult because no matter which quarter offered a fair wind, the ship would soon be sailing into the wind. Passengers would then journey to Blackwall to embark there after the boat had rounded the Island, and thus save themselves some time on board boat. Blackwall Stairs has been the kicking-off point of a number of expeditions, including that of the Virginia Invaders.
 * There never was, nor is there, a Royal Palace at Greenwich.Lion King 20:43, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Can someone tell me what the "dog tacks" are that are mentioned in the second paragraph above?

 * An editor has just added complete b*ll*cks about the name. Since there is a Jacobean play entitled The Isle of Dogs, and the docks were not built until the 19th century, can we do something a bit more credible?
 * I had heard that it was named the Isle of Doges (a la Venice), for the number of watermen that lived there, but also that it was called the Isle of Dogs for the wild dogs that roamed the marshes - since I have no certainty about this, I'm not going to change it ... for the moment! The previous version was little better, as there was no point landing cargoes there (before the docks), as there was only one road across the marsh to the ancient ferry (at Ferry Lane).

The last bullet item is written as if King Henry was mentioned previously which doesn't seem to be the case: "A later king, Henry VIII also kept deer in Greenwich Park. Again it is thought that his hunting dogs might have been kept in derelict farm buildings on the Island." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.222.37.58 (talk) 11:42, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

A rather obvious guess would be that it is a corruption of Isle of Docks. I’m surprised this possible etymology has not been proposed. — Chameleon 04:14, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The name long precedes the building of the first docks on the 'island'. Pterre (talk) 10:02, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Batman Begins?
Can anybody verify the statements about Batman Begins? I know that some of it was filmed on Canary Wharf, but to the best of my knowledge Wayne Tower was the Chicago Board of Trade building.

The scene with Bruce Wayne coming out of a building with a woman on each arm and then lying down in the water feature was filmed at Plateau restaurant in Canary Wharf. Bottom of page 6 here Ikonos45 (talk) 11:30, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

In The Media pruning?
The In The Media section is turning into a huge mess of text with no real purpose. It's longer than the main article. Perhaps it could be pruned? --Dtcdthingy 03:30, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Good idea. I was bold and shortened that section drastically. We don't need to know every single detail about each scene featuring the Isle of Dogs. This is an article about the island, not the film industry. There are so many other topics barely mentioned that are much more important (landmarks, housing, education, transport, economy, inhabitants). --84.227.51.123 20:52, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree - can we just not link to this? Ikonos45 (talk) 11:32, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Island vs Peninsula
I've removed the references to "peninsula" as that description is reserved for bits of land jutting out to sea. I believe the area was only a true island prior to its development, when the Thames was in flood and took a "shortcut" across the top of the top where Canary Wharf is now, rather than flowing around the ox-bow. In any case, the "Island" is not an island anymore - as not even the man-made shipping canals link the East and West sides of the Thames anymore. Just to clarify, there's no bridge on the West side anymore - only a pumping station next to the Cascades apartment block that circulates water between the dock and the Thames. Socrates2008 (talk) 12:29, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that, I wasn't aware that the dock entrance had been filled in. I think the reason the article got sprinkled with references to peninsula is by extension from the nearby Greenwich peninsula. That also does not fit the geographic epithet, but appears to be the official name for the area formerly covered by the gas works. As far I am aware, the Poplar meadows did not flood after drainage works in the middle ages (see BritHistory online article). The area that flooded was the area either side of Ferry Road (essentially the road that leads past Asda, cut off by the building of the docks). This again was subjected to extensive works from the middle ages onwards. Kbthompson (talk) 13:11, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

How often, if ever, is this referent ever referred to as simply "Dog" or "Dogs", without the modifier "Isle of.."? I ask because I'm thinking of removing it from the page Dog (disambiguation), but I wouldn't want to do that if there were any chance that a person might search for it by simply typing "d-o-g" or "d-o-g-s". Is there a rational expectation that no one would ever do that and therefore be helped by the fact that "Isle of Dogs" appears on that disambigation page?

Thank you for your kind attention to this matter.Chrisrus (talk) 02:40, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Verification of information?
Following section is unverified and contains a great number of exaggerations and grave inaccuracies. Can this section be marked for citation required to indicate that there is nothing in the article that suggests that these claims are supported?

"===Industry=== The Docks brought with them many associated industries, such as flour and sugar processing, and also ship building. On January 31, 1858, the largest ship of that time, the SS Great Eastern designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, was launched from the yard of Messrs Scott, Russell & Co, of Millwall. The 211 m length was too big for the river, and the ship had to be launched sideways. Due to the technical difficulties of the launch, this was the last big ship to be built on the Island, and the industry fell into a decline. The ship was doomed from the beginning, apparently when it was launched sideways it became stuck in the mud and remained there for three days. It also set up a massive wave that travelled across the river and a number of people that were watching on the opposite bank were hit by the wave and dragged into the Thames where they drowned. When it was taken out of service the remains of three ship builders were found in the hold and the bad luck of the ship was blamed on the loss of the men. "

Coincidence worth noting?
The etymology for the term "Isle of Dogs" may be uncertain, but an unrelated sourced statement on the article for Canary Wharf (which, I don't need to remind you, is located on the Isle of Dogs) indicates a clear origin for the name of the business district. According to the source, Canary Wharf was named under the request of Fruit Lines Limited, which chose the name due to their shipping activities with Canary Island. Anyone cares to take a guess at the etymology of Canary Island? You guessed it: Island of Dogs, from latin "Insula Canaria". A coincidence worth mentioning either here or on the article for Canary Wharf?

Obviously, if it were to be added, wording should be chosen carefully in order to make it clear that the names of both the Isle of Dogs and Canary Wharf have developed independently from each other, considering how, although the etymology of the Isle of Dogs is uncertain, it certainly predates the creation of Canary Wharf by decades. --ZeframCochrane (talk) 23:58, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Republic of the Isle of Dogs
The Isle of Dogs became famous all over the world in 1970 (and I remember its name since that time) when it proclaimed itself indipendent and a Republic to protest against British Government, which neglected it. I remember there were no schools and no buses for local kids. It's strange this is not mentioned in this article

Washington County, Missouri

Washington County is a county located in the southeastern part of the U.S. state of Missouri. As of the 2020 United States census, the population was 23,514. The county seat and largest city is Potosi. The county was officially organized on August 21, 1813, and was named in honor of George Washington, the first President of the United States.

History
The French explorers Renault and La Motte entered the area of present-day Potosi in 1722–23. However, no permanent settlements were made until 1763, when François Breton settled near Potosi and began to operate a mine bearing his name. The Bellview Valley, near Caledonia and Belgrade, was settled in 1802 by the families of William and Helen Watson Reed, their sons, Robert, Joseph, and Thomas Reed, William Reed's brother and nephew, Joseph and William Reed, Annanias McCoy, and Benjamin Crow. Washington County was officially organized on August 21, 1813, out of Ste. Genevieve County.

Geography
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 762 sqmi, of which 760 sqmi is land and 2.6 sqmi (0.3%) is water.

There were 9,894 housing units at an average density of 13 /mi2. The racial makeup of the county was 95.47% White, 2.48% Black or African American, 0.66% Native American, 0.15% Asian, 0.01% Pacific Islander, 0.15% from other races, and 1.08% from two or more races. Approximately 0.73% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.

There were 8,406 households, out of which 36.40% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 58.60% were married couples living together, 10.60% had a female householder with no husband present, and 25.80% were non-families. 22.00% of all households were made up of individuals, and 9.40% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.64 and the average family size was 3.05.

In the county, the population was spread out, with 26.60% under the age of 18, 9.80% from 18 to 24, 29.20% from 25 to 44, 22.70% from 45 to 64, and 11.70% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 35 years. For every 100 females there were 106.40 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 106.40 males.

Religion
According to the Association of Religion Data Archives County Membership Report (2000), Washington County is a part of the Bible Belt with evangelical Protestantism being the majority religion. The most predominant denominations among residents in Washington County who adhere to a religion are Roman Catholics (36.73%), Southern Baptists (21.74%), and Baptist Missionary Association of America (16.86%).

Local
Republicans hold a sizeable majority of the elected positions in the county.

State
Washington County is divided into three legislative districts in the Missouri House of Representatives.

 * District 118 – Currently represented by Mike McGirl (R-Potosi) and consists of the northeastern part of the county and includes Cadet, Mineral Point, Old Mines, Richwoods, Tiff, and part of Potosi.

 * District 119 – Currently represented by Nate Tate (R-St. Clair). Consists of the northwestern part of the county, including Pea Ridge.

 * District 144 – Currently represented by Chris Dinkins (R-Annapolis). Consists of the southern parts of the county including Belgrade, Caledonia, Courtois, Hopewell, Irondale, and part of Potosi.

All of Washington County is a part of Missouri's 3rd District in the Missouri Senate and is currently represented by Elaine Gannon (R-De Soto).

Federal
Washington County is included in Missouri's 8th Congressional District and is currently represented by Jason T. Smith (R-Salem) in the U.S. House of Representatives. Smith won a special election on Tuesday, June 4, 2013, to finish out the remaining term of U.S. Representative Jo Ann Emerson (R-Cape Girardeau). Emerson announced her resignation a month after being reelected with over 70 percent of the vote in the district. She resigned to become CEO of the National Rural Electric Cooperative.

Political culture
Washington County is one of only two counties, alongside Webster County, West Virginia, to be carried by Barack Obama in either of his runs and still give Donald Trump over 80% of the vote in 2020.

At the presidential level, Washington County was a fairly independent-leaning or battleground county for many years, however, it has voted increasingly more Republican in recent elections. While George W. Bush carried Washington County in 2004, he narrowly lost the county to Al Gore in 2000, and both times the margins of victory were significantly closer than in many of the other rural areas. Bill Clinton also carried Washington County both times in 1992 and 1996 by convincing double-digit margins, and unlike most of the other rural counties in Missouri, Washington County was one of only nine counties in Missouri that favored Barack Obama over John McCain. Obama won Washington County by just five votes in the 2008 election.

Like most rural areas throughout Missouri, voters in Washington County generally adhere to socially and culturally conservative principles but are more moderate or populist on economic issues, typical of the Dixiecrat philosophy. In 2004, Missourians voted on a constitutional amendment to define marriage as the union between a man and a woman—it overwhelmingly passed Washington County with 81.37 percent of the vote. The initiative passed the state with 71 percent of support from voters as Missouri became the first state to ban same-sex marriage. In 2006, Missourians voted on a constitutional amendment to fund and legalize embryonic stem cell research in the state—it failed in Washington County with 56.48 percent voting against the measure. The initiative narrowly passed the state with 51 percent of support from voters as Missouri became one of the first states in the nation to approve embryonic stem cell research. Despite Washington County's longstanding tradition of supporting socially conservative platforms, voters in the county have a penchant for advancing populist causes like increasing the minimum wage. In 2006, Missourians voted on a proposition (Proposition B) to increase the minimum wage in the state to $6.50 an hour—it passed Washington County with 81.47 percent of the vote. The proposition strongly passed every single county in Missouri with 75.94 percent voting in favor as the minimum wage was increased to $6.50 an hour in the state. In 2018, Washington County rejected Proposition A which would have made Missouri a right to work state with 82.1 percent of the vote.

Missouri presidential preference primary (2008)
In the 2008 presidential primary, voters in Washington County from both political parties supported candidates who finished in second place in the state at large and nationally.

Former U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton (D-New York) received more votes, a total of 2,345, than any candidate from either party in Washington County during the 2008 presidential primary. She also received more votes, almost double, than the total number of votes cast in the entire Republican Primary in Washington County. Washington County was Clinton's fifth strongest county in Missouri; she only did better in Dunklin, Wayne, Carter and Ripley counties.

Education
Among adults 25 years of age and older in Washington County, 62.5% possess a high school diploma or higher, while 7.5% hold a bachelor's degree or higher as their highest educational attainment.

The initiative narrowly passed the state with 51 percent of support from voters as Missouri became one of the first states in the nation to approve embryonic stem cell research. Despite Warren County's longstanding tradition of supporting socially conservative platforms, voters in the county have a penchant for advancing populist causes like increasing the minimum wage. In 2006, Missourians voted on a proposition (Proposition B) to increase the minimum wage in the state to $6.50 an hour—it passed Warren County with 77.48 percent of the vote. The proposition strongly passed every single county in Missouri with 78.99 percent voting in favor. (During the same election, voters in five other states also strongly approved increases in the minimum wage.)

Missouri presidential preference primary (2008)
Former U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-New York) received more votes, a total of 1,971, than any candidate from either party in Warren County during the 2008 presidential primary.

020 code
Inner London does not equal 020 7 and Outer London does not equal 020 8.

Numbers starting 7 and 8 are now re-issued anywhere in the 020 area and new blocks of numbers are only issued to telecom suppliers starting with a 3 now. MRSC 11:03, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Boundaries
in certain areas the town's demarcations with Hounslow and Brentford have become somewhat vague

As far as Hounslow is concerned, there never was a traditional boundary between Hounslow and Isleworth. Rather, Hounslow grew up in the medieval period as a settlement along the Bath Road, which formed the parish boundary between Heston and Isleworth, and fell into both settlements. 62.252.236.71 (talk) 19:35, 2 February 2009 (UTC) The boundary between Isleworth and Twickenham had also been slightly altered in the 1930s, to enable the western approaches of Twickenham Bridge to lie in Twickenham. Much of the (old) Isleworth-Twickenham boundary lay along a tiny waterway called Burkett's Brook, running south of the Ivybridge Estate and under Ivy Bridge (Mother Ive's Bridge) on London Road/Twickenham Road. It can be seen flowing into the Crane close to the bridge where The Avenue/A316 crosses the Crane at St Margarets. 62.252.236.71 (talk) 19:38, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Vernon County, Missouri

Vernon County is a county located in the western region of the U.S. state of Missouri, on the border with Kansas. As of the 2020 census, the population was 19,707. Its county seat is Nevada. The county was organized on February 27, 1855, considerably later than counties in the eastern part of the state. It was named for Colonel Miles Vernon (1786–1867), a state senator and veteran of the Battle of New Orleans. This area was part of the large historic territory of the Osage Nation of Native Americans.

History
The county was developed by European Americans for agriculture and is still mostly rural.

Vernon County suffered considerable damage during the American Civil War. Guerrillas and insurgents had waged raids against Union troops and carried out personal vendettas in the county. On May 23, 1863, Union Army soldiers burned the county seat of Nevada, along with the courthouse, in retaliation. The present courthouse was completed in 1907.

Vernon County was one of four Missouri counties that were wholly depopulated by Union General Thomas Ewing Jr.'s General Order No. 11 (1863), which ordered the people evacuated to end support for Confederate guerrillas operating in the area. Most of the residents were not allowed to return to their homes until after the Civil War ended in May 1865.

Geography

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 837 sqmi, of which 826 sqmi is land and 10 sqmi (1.2%) is water.

Texas County, Missouri

Texas County is a county located in the southern portion of the U.S. state of Missouri. As of the 2020 census, the population was 24,487. Its county seat is Houston. The county was organized in 1843 as Ashley County. Its name was changed in 1845 to Texas County, after the Republic of Texas. The 2010 U.S. Census indicates that the county was the center of population for the United States.

History
Texas County was created in 1843 and named for William H. Ashley, the first lieutenant governor of Missouri. It was later organized on February 14, 1845, when it was also renamed for the Republic of Texas.

A seat of justice for the county was laid out in 1846 near the center of the county on Brushy Creek and named Houston for the first president of the Texas Republic. The historic Texas County Courthouse, built in 1932, was the county's sixth and now serves as the county administrative center. It was remodeled in 1977 and again in 2007. A new justice center was completed in 2008.

Rugged hills, springs, creeks, rivers and caves abound in Texas County. There have been many Native American mounds found in the county. Their paintings remain upon various bluffs over ancient campsites. The area was part of the 1808 Osage Native American land cession.

Pioneers came to Texas County in the 1820s from Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and the Carolinas and set up sawmills along the Big Piney River. Pioneers made a nice income rafting the timber down the Piney River toward St. Louis. Some 48000 acre in the north and northwest part of the county is now part of the Mark Twain National Forest. Several acres in the southeast part of the county are part of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways Park. Small family farms are still a major part of the landscape of the county. The population of the first Federal Census of Texas County in 1850 was 2,312 citizens.

The American Civil War period was a time of turmoil in Texas County. The populace was predominantly Southern. The courthouse was occupied during the war by the Union Army as headquarters. Houston was an important point on the route from federal headquarters in Springfield to headquarters in Rolla. Some skirmishes were fought here. Confederate soldiers stormed the town, burning every building.

On February 26, 2015, a gunman shot and killed seven people in several locations across the town of Tyrone. The suspect was later found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. It was the worst mass murder in Texas County's history. Prior to the mass shooting, the county had an average of one homicide per year.

Geography
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 1179 sqmi, of which 1177 sqmi is land and 2.0 sqmi (0.2%) is water. It is the largest county in Missouri by area.

Emerson announced her resignation a month after being reelected with over 70 percent of the vote in the district. She resigned to become CEO of the National Rural Electric Cooperative.

Political culture
At the presidential level, Texas County is Republican-leaning. George W. Bush carried Texas County by two-to-one margins in 2000 and 2004. Bill Clinton was the last Democratic presidential nominee to carry Texas County, in 1992, and like many of the rural counties throughout Missouri, Texas County strongly favored John McCain over Barack Obama in 2008.

Like most rural areas throughout Southeast Missouri, voters in Texas County generally adhere to socially and culturally conservative principles which tend to influence their Republican leanings. In 2004, Missourians voted on a constitutional amendment to define marriage as the union between a man and a woman—it overwhelmingly passed Texas County with 85.63 percent of the vote. The initiative passed the state with 71 percent of support from voters as Missouri became the first state to ban same-sex marriage. In 2006, Missourians voted on a constitutional amendment to fund and legalize embryonic stem cell research in the state—it failed in Texas County with 61.13 percent voting against the measure. The initiative narrowly passed the state with 51 percent of support from voters as Missouri became one of the first states in the nation to approve embryonic stem cell research. Despite Texas County's longstanding tradition of supporting socially conservative platforms, voters in the county have a penchant for advancing populist causes like increasing the minimum wage. In 2006, Missourians voted on a proposition (Proposition B) to increase the minimum wage in the state to $6.50 an hour—it passed Texas County with 72.03 percent of the vote. The proposition strongly passed every single county in Missouri with 78.99 percent voting in favor as the minimum wage was increased to $6.50 an hour in the state. During the same election, voters in five other states also strongly approved increases in the minimum wage.

Missouri presidential preference primary (2008)
In the 2008 presidential primary, voters in Texas County from both political parties supported candidates who finished in second place in the state at large and nationally.

Former U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton (D-New York) received more votes, a total of 1,858, than any candidate from either party in Texas County during the 2008 presidential primary.

Education
Of adults 25 years of age and older in Texas County, 71.4% possesses a high school diploma or higher while 10.8% hold a bachelor's degree or higher as their highest educational attainment.

Talk:Kennington

boundaries
Is it convenient to equate Kennington with Prince's and Oval wards? See http://www.lambeth.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/BC2414A7-6E9C-4BE7-BFB9-29181615D4D0/0/wardmap_2002.gif —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.103.145 (talk) 09:28, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

I agree. This article is an example of bad local history, where because the writer(s) don't have enough information or knowledge about the area in question they lump in other neighbourhoods to bolster it all. The truse demarcation between 'Kennington' and other areas eg neighbouring manors or parishes is its boundaries. There is NO Kennington area in Southwark, it does not matter that because the road is called 'Kennington Park Road' it some includes all of that area, the road is in part a boundary with Newington. I shall alter those references. Tony S 212.139.233.11 (talk) 21:09, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

dialling code
There's no such code as 02077 nor does Kennington cover it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.103.145 (talk) 21:06, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Agreed - and removed. Tony S 212.139.238.3 (talk) 21:44, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

where it is
Wouldn't it make sense to say that Kennington was only in Lambeth? It's hard to see which bits of Southwark's Cathedrals ward are in Kennington. The population-figure is for Princes and Oval and this makes sense. Vassal-ward is in Stockwell. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.103.145 (talk) 21:11, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Agreed - but not all of Lambeth is in 'Kennington'; the originator(s) avoid defining it so as to lump in neighbouring areas because they had little to say about it. Aside from chunks of Newington/ Walworth in Southwark eg Imperial War Museum, St George's Fields and West Square; they have also 'adopted' into their self defined 'Kennington' parts which are properly Vauxhall and north Lambeth parish eg Waterloo Station etc. This is just bad local history.

Taney County, Missouri

Taney County is a county in the southwestern portion of the U.S. state of Missouri. As of the 2020 census, the population was 56,066. Its county seat is Forsyth. It is included in the Micropolitan Statistical Area.

Taney County was officially organized on January 4, 1837, and named in honor of Roger Brooke Taney, the fifth Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, best known for delivering the infamous majority opinion in Dred Scott v. Sandford. However, unlike Roger B. Taney, who pronounced his name /ˈtɔːni/, the "Taney" in Taney County is generally pronounced /ˈteɪni/.

The county includes the popular tourist destinations Branson and Table Rock, Taneycomo and Bull Shoals lakes.

History
The first Taney County Courthouse was built on the mouth of Bull Creek at the confluence of the White River by early pioneers in 1837. Its use as a courthouse ended after Forsyth became the county seat; it was destroyed in a tornado in 1963.

The county's second courthouse, in Forsyth, was destroyed in a Civil War battle on July 22, 1861. The rebuilt courthouse was destroyed by fire on December 19, 1885. A third courthouse was removed in 1952 to permit the building of Bull Shoals Lake. The fourth, and present, courthouse was occupied on August 1, 1952. An addition was completed in 1991 after two years of construction.

In 1904, the White River Railway was extended through the rugged terrain of Stone and Taney counties. By then, both counties had for years had a sundown town policy, forbidding African Americans to live there.

In 2008, a New Taney County Judicial Center was built. That Judicial Center houses the courtrooms, the Circuit Clerk, and the County Jail.

Geography
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 652 sqmi, of which 632 sqmi is land and 19 sqmi (2.9%) is water.

The county is drained by White River and its affluents.

Like most rural areas throughout the Bible Belt in Southwest Missouri, voters in Taney County traditionally adhere to socially and culturally conservative principles which tend to strongly influence their Republican leanings. In 2004, Missourians voted on a constitutional amendment to define marriage as the union between a man and a woman. It passed Taney County with 80.04 percent of the vote, and the state in general with 71 percent of support from voters, making Missouri the first state to ban same-sex marriage. In 2006, Missourians voted on a constitutional amendment to fund and legalize embryonic stem cell research in the state—it failed in Taney County with 56.64 percent voting against the measure. The initiative narrowly passed the state with 51 percent of support from voters as Missouri became one of the first states in the nation to approve embryonic stem cell research. Despite Taney County's longstanding tradition of supporting socially conservative platforms, voters in the county have a penchant for advancing populist causes like increasing the minimum wage. In 2006, Missourians voted on a proposition (Proposition B) to increase the minimum wage in the state to $6.50 an hour—it passed Taney County with 77.78 percent of the vote. The proposition strongly passed every single county in Missouri with 78.99 percent voting in favor as the minimum wage was increased to $6.50 an hour in the state. During the same election, voters in five other states also strongly approved increases in the minimum wage.
