THE UK NATIONAL ARCHIVES London Kew
from Wikipedia: The National Archives (TNA) is an executive agency of the Ministry of Justice of the United Kingdom.[2] It is the UK government's official archive, containing 1,000 years of history.[3] There are separate national archives in some of the devolved parts of the United Kingdom: the National Archives of Scotland holds government and private documents relating to Scotland and the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland holds records for Northern Ireland.
TNA was formerly four separate organisations: the Public Record Office, the Historical Manuscripts Commission, the Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI) and Her Majesty's Stationery Office (HMSO).
It is institutional policy to include the definite article, with an initial capital letter, in its name (hence The National Archives, abbreviated as TNA) but this practice is rarely followed in the non-specialist media. The National Archives is based in Kew in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames in south-west London. The building was opened in 1977 as an additional home for the public records, which were held in a building on Chancery Lane. The site was originally a World War I hospital, which was later used by several government departments.[4] It is near to Kew Gardens Underground station.
Until its closure in March 2008, the Family Records Centre in Islington was run jointly by The National Archives and the General Register Office. The National Archives has an additional office in Norwich, which is primarily for former OPSI staff. There is also an additional record storage facility (DeepStore[5]) in the worked-out parts of Winsford Rock Salt Mine, Winsford, Cheshire.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The National Archives (TNA) is a non-ministerial government department. Its parent department is the Department for Culture, Media and Sport of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is the official archive of the UK government and for England and Wales; and guardian of some of the nation's most iconic documents, dating back more than 1,000 years. There are separate national archives for Scotland (the National Records of Scotland) and Northern Ireland (the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland).
TNA was formerly four separate organisations: the Public Record Office (PRO), the Historical Manuscripts Commission, the Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI) and Her Majesty's Stationery Office (HMSO). The Public Record Office still exists as a legal entity, as the enabling legislation has not been modified, and documents held by the institution thus continue to be cited by many scholars as part of the PRO. Since 2008, TNA has also hosted the former UK Statute Law Database, now known as legislation.gov.uk.
It is institutional policy to include the definite article, with an initial capital letter, in its name (hence The National Archives, abbreviated as TNA) but this practice is not always followed in the non-specialist media.

QUEEN ELIZABETH II ARRIVES AT RACES AT START OF JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS
(2 Jun 2012) It was a royal day at the races, as Queen Elizabeth II presented the winner's trophy to Joseph O'Brien who rode St. Nicholas Abbey to win the Coronation Cup at Epsom Racecourse, south of London.
The Epsom Derby is the kick-off to a four-day celebration of the British monarch's 60 years on the throne.
Diamond Jubilee festivities officially began with a 41-gun salute fired by the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery at Horse Guards Parade in central London.
The 86-year-old monarch and her husband, Prince Philip, visited Epsom racecourse south of the capital for the Derby, one of the year's biggest horse-racing meetings.
Earlier the Queen waved to the 130,000-strong crowd as she was driven down the racecourse in a Bentley bearing the Royal Standard the car's sun roof kept shut under gray skies, before settling down to watch the races from the royal box.
Dressed in a spring-like blue coat and matching hat over a blue-and-white floral dress, the Queen was accompanied by members of the royal family including her sons Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, and Andrew's daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
The monarch is a racing fan and horse breeder who has attended the Derby for decades and reads the Racing Post each day over breakfast, although unlike many of her subjects she does not gamble.
Later in the weekend the Queen will make a trip down the River Thames, and then take in a concert all accompanied by tens of thousands of her subjects, coming out to fete a monarch whose longevity has given her the status of the nation's favourite grandmother.

Photographs of the Winter of 1963 - Britain's Big Freeze.
The winter of 1962–1963 (also known as the Big Freeze of 1963) was one of the coldest winters on record in the United Kingdom. Temperatures plummeted and lakes and rivers began to freeze over.
I have a vivid memory of this climatic event. Our family had been to a pantomime on the 26th December 1962 and we came out after the show, to a heavy snowstorm. This storm lasted fully two days and was followed by a great blizzard resulting in great snow drifts and blocking several roads and railway lines.
In January 1963, the sea froze for one mile out from the shore in northern Kent and parts of the northern reaches of the River Thames froze over. Temperatures plummeted with more snow coming in February together with gale force winds.....

south west london archives old photos
hi i spend a lot of time making these small films of when the days were a lot different. most of the photos are from old books or old post cards. i love doing this to show you how life was way back then. some people can not buy books or find things to do with local history so this is why i have done this for all of you.
i do not do this to make money in any way, it is just for free so i do hope you all like the small films i do as it takes a long time to do. i did use to live in SW London but now moved to bucks where i find this is much better for me and my family.
all the best --- Jason Blackman.
