[earhartsease]

fun bonus anecdote: when we were 16 we got cursed with a summer holiday with just us and our parents (who were Not Getting On) in a quaint yorkshire town called Richmond, for one of the longest weeks of our life (this will be relevant we promise)

several memorable things happened on that holiday - let's see

we went on a long walk in the dales with just our mum (actually a big relief), got lost, and ended up getting guns pointed at us by soldiers because the lane we were on in the middle of nowhere turned out to flank a shooting range

we played a game of chess with our dad in a tea shop and for the first time ever we beat him - and he never played with us again

we went for a meal in a pub in the hills with Daniel Day Lewis' appalling mum and all three adults were absolute cunts to the serving girl, with whom we silently bonded in the cringe of it

we took ourselves to see star wars for the first time ever in a tiny and knackered old cinema called The Zetland, so named because (and here comes the relevance) it was owned by the family of the Marquess of Zetland - and David Dundas (technically Lord David Dundas) is a son of the 3rd Marquess - anyway imagine seeing star wars one weekday afternoon in 1979, completely on your own in a tiny flea pit cinema, with a sound system that sounds like a car stereo from a fiat 500 - and still loving it

then imagine enthusing about it to your awful parents in an autistic manner and somehow persuading them to come and see it with you - and of course they hate it with a cold indifferent passion

so yeah that was some holiday and we found it deeply hilarious when we found out about the David Dundas connection

Lyrics:

I only know what a heartache pays In broken nights and wasted days I really don′t know what our love is doing to you I know you think that I don't care But I see your face everywhere Oh, another funny honeymoon Ah, sit alone in my room at night nothing else to do Lost my mind and my appetite I′m as damaged as you Sweet success don't do me no good It's such a long way to go Dirty habits destroyed my blood And it′s beginning to show I only know what a heartache pays…

Songwriter:

Ah, well it′s gone and we let it go There's no new yesterday I know we didn′t have very much to show But it's gone anyway I only know what a heartache pays…

I only know what a heartache pays…

I know you think that I don′t care…

20th December 1789 saw the birth in Edinburgh of William Burn, the architect who pioneered the Scots Baronial style.

Burn was educated at the High School in Edinburgh's Old Town. He started working in Robert Smirke's office in London , before returning to Edinburgh to work with his father, Robert Burn, the designer of the Nelson Monument on Calton Hill.

William Burn's earliest commissions were for public buildings Custom House, Greenock,as seen in the second pic, the Ledoux-like Gasworks at Tanfield, Canonmills, County Hall, Inverness and many others, but his large and phenomenally successful practice consisted mainly of commissions for country-houses. Blairquhan, Ayrshire(pic three), is an example of his Tudor Gothic style.

By c.1825 Burn was designing in a Jacobethan manner that became his speciality. Scottish vernacular architecture and tower-houses were added to his sources from 1829 Faskally, Perthshire, and Tyninghame House, East Lothian (pic four), but, from his completion of Salvin's great Harlaxton Manor, Lincs. (from 1838), his work became more ebullient, leading to his best houses, including Falkland House, Fife, Whitehill Hall, Midlothian , and Revesby Abbey in Lincs.

Although enormously prolific, it is said that Burn perhaps never quite rose to great architecture: his work was described as “competent, very often agreeable, but sometimes veered towards the dull”. He took his nephew, J. MacVicar Anderson, into partnership, who continued the practice after Burn's death. I also noticed that David MacGibbon, of MacGibbon and Ross also worked with him.

Other major works Burn designed were St John’s Princes Street, Edinburgh, (pic five) and Dundas Castle in Midlothian.(pic six), which to me are anything but dull.

The Restoration of the Royal East India Volunteers Flags

The British Library is celebrating the completion of a four-year project to conserve two unique but badly degraded silk flags dating from the 1790s.

The flags are a set of colours belonging to the Royal East India Volunteers formed by the East India Company in London during the French Wars to protect East India House and the Company warehouses ‘against hazard from insurrections and tumults’ and to assist the City government in times of disorder. 

The REIV were embodied at two separate periods, from 1796 to 1814 and then from 1820 to 1834.  The field officers were elected from Company directors, and commissioned officers were recruited from clerks and officials at East India House and the warehouses.  The supervisory grades in the warehouses became non-commissioned officers who led labourers serving as privates. By 1799 there were three regiments with about 1500 men.  A register of labourers in the REIV soldiers 1820-1832 has survived giving age, height, home address, reason for discharge from the corps.  Some men were discharged because training clashed with their warehouse duties or secondary afternoon jobs. Others were judged unfit to serve – Charles Twort was discharged for having bad feet and corns.

Each REIV regiment had a set of colours.  It appears that Lady Jane Dundas embroidered all three sets. Her husband Henry Dundas wrote to Company director David Scott on 4 November 1796 that Lady Jane had taken a fancy that she ought to work a pair of colours for the East India Corps and that she needed instructions. Lady Jane presented the colours at three public ceremonies in April 1797, July 1797, and June 1799.

One set of colours was presented to the re-embodied REIV on 14 June 1821. When the REIV was finally disbanded in 1834, these colours were deposited in the museum at East India House. Sir George Birdwood found the colours later in the 19th century at the India Store Depôt at Lambeth and placed them in the Military Committee Room at the India Office in Whitehall.  They were still on display in Whitehall as late as 1963. 

In 1895 the colours were lent to Empire of India Exhibition at Earl’s Court.  The catalogue described them as ‘tattered and torn in the most approved fashion but no tale of glory hangs thereby. Only in marches and reviews in London Fields did these colours wave to the breeze, and damp and the ravages of rats and mice are responsible for their present condition’.

The colours had become fragile, fragmentary and soiled. Large areas of silk loss made the flags very hard to interpret. Surprisingly, the complex embroideries which decorated the centre of the flags were predominately intact although structurally very weak.

The conservation treatment of these two flags included: surface cleaning; removal of the central embroideries; wet cleaning; crease removal; mounting on a padded board covered by a digitally printed image of the flag to enable interpretation and covering with a specially dyed nylon net which prevents the loss of the fragmentary silk.

The conservation will enable access, display and research by ensuring the longevity of these precious and important flags.

Lyrics:

When I wake up

In the morning light

I pull on my jeans and I feel all right

I pull my blue jeans on

I pull my old blue jeans on

I pull my blue jeans on

I pull my old blue jeans on

It′s the weekend

And I know that you're free

So pull on your jeans and come on out with me

I need to have you near me

I need to feel you close to me

I need to have you near me

I need to feel you close to me

You and me, we′ll go motorbike riding

In the sun and the wind and the rain

I got money in my pocket

Got a tiger in my tank

And I'm king of the road again

I'll meet ya in the usual place

I don′t need a thing except your pretty face

And I need to have you near me

I need to feel you close to me

I need to have you near me

I need to feel you close to me

I need to have you near me

I need to feel you close to me

You and me, we′ll go motorbike riding

In the sun and the wind and the rain

I got money in my pocket

A tiger in my tank

And I'm king of the road again

When I wake up

In the morning light

I pull on my jeans and I feel all right

I pull my blue jeans on

I pull my old blue jeans on

I pull my blue jeans on

I pull my old blue jeans on

I pull my blue jeans on

I pull my old blue jeans on

When I wake up

In the morning light

I pull on my jeans and I feel all right

I pull my blue jeans on

I pull my old blue jeans on

I pull my blue jeans on

I pull my old blue jeans on

I pull my blue jeans on

I pull my old blue jeans on

When I wake up

In the morning light

I pull on my jeans and I feel all right
