Kenwood & Golders Hill in 1894 in a fascinating series of reproductions of old Ordnance Survey plans in the Alan Godfrey Editions, ideal for anyone interested in the history of their neighbourhood or family. The map covers an area still largely rural in 1894, stretching from Finchley Road eastward to Kenwood House. To the south is part of Hampstead Heath with The Spaniards Inn, Kenwood House itself, Ken Wood & North End. Golders Hill is covered & North End Road, but beyond this is rural Middlesex including Bishop`s Wood, Turner`s Wood & Wild Hatch. On the reverse the eastern half of the map is shown revised to 1912. This is busier, showing development north of Golders Hill Park including Golders Green station, West Heath Avenue, North End Road, Hampstead Way, Jews’ Cemetery & railway works, providing a fascinating contrast with the 1894 version. About the Alan Godfrey Editions of the 25” OS Series: Selected towns in Great Britain & Ireland are covered by maps showing the extent of urban development in the last decades of the 19th & early 20th century. The plans have been taken from the Ordnance Survey mapping & reprinted at about 15 inches to one mile (1:4, 340). On the reverse most maps have historical notes & many also include extracts from contemporary directories. Most maps cover about one mile (1.6kms) north/south, one & a half miles (2.4kms) across; adjoining sheets can be combined to provide wider coverage.FOR MORE INFORMATION & A COMPLETE LIST OF ALL AVAILABLE TITLES PLEASE CLICK ON THE SERIES LINK. ...

On December 12, 1963, people across Kenya joyfully celebrated independence from British colonial rule, anticipating a bright future of prosperity & social justice. As the nation approaches the fiftieth anniversary of its independence, however, the people`s dream remains elusive. During its first five decades Kenya has experienced assassinations, riots, coup attempts, ethnic violence, & political corruption. The ranks of the disaffected, the unemployed, & the poor have multiplied. In this authoritative & insightful account of Kenya`s history from 1963 to the present day, Daniel Branch sheds new light on the nation`s struggles & the complicated causes behind them. Branch describes how Kenya constructed itself as a state & how ethnicity has proved a powerful force in national politics from the start, as have disorder & violence. He explores such divisive political issues as the needs of the landless poor, international relations with Britain & with the Cold War superpowers, & the direction of economic development. Tracing an escalation of government corruption over time, the author brings his discussion to the present, paying particular attention to the rigged election of 2007, the subsequent compromise government, & Kenya`s prospects as a still-evolving independent state. ...
