LETTERS FROM WILLIAM EDEN, 1ST BARON AUCKLAND
3 [n.d.]
Source of acquisition:
These 4 letters came to the Library from different sources. 3/1-2 were presented by Mr S. Hodgson in 1972, while 3/3-4 appear to have passed through the hands of a dealer, and were acquired at an unknown date.
Contents:
The earliest, 3/1, is published in The Journal and Correspondence of William Lord Auckland ed. G. Hogge, 2 vols, 1861
To his brother, Morton Eden, envoy extraordinary at Dresden, mostly political news: 'the strength of the Outs in every view & Consideration beyond the Closet door is most decidedly superior to the Strength of the Ins; The Former are called the Majority, the Latter the ministry'. Mentions his own resignation and the prospect of that of Lord Northington, Morton's brother-in-law. (See DNB for the careers of Morton and William Eden) 3/1 30 Dec 1783
To Mr Grey, chargé d'affaires at Berlin about Lord Henry John Spencer, late envoy extraordinary and plenipotentiary to Prussia, who had died in July. 'I have forwarded... Prince Henry's letter... to be shewn to the Duchess of Marlborough, who will suffer much under this new testimony of her late son's excellencies.' (Lord Henry (1770-1795) was the 2nd son of the 4th Duke of Marlborough, and had served as Eden's secretary when the latter was Ambassador at the Hague. Eden and Grey wound up his affairs after his death. See DNB under George Spencer, 4th Duke of Marlborough, and AL Rowse The Later Churchills esp. pp. 181-7.) 3/2 13 Oct 1795
To unknown male correspondent about family settlements. Mentions Archbishop of Canterbury (John Moore, brother-in-law) as one of the trustees of his daughter Eleanor, Lady Hobart, also brother Sir John Eden 3/3 20 Apr 1801
To unknown male correspondent (initials apparently JL) about 'a very large mansion house most compleetly furnished' near Bromley ('the purchase is highly desirable to my sister') and discussing related legal business. Mention of 'Mr Moore' suggests that the sister was Katherine, widow of John Moore, Archbishop of Canterbury. She lived for some time in Beckenham 3/4 29 Nov 1811

MINUTES OF THE COMMITTEE SET UP FOR THE PRINCE OF WALES' WEDDING FETE ON MARCH 10th 1863
7 [n.d.]
Minutes
7/1 16 Feb-17 Mar 1863
Contents:
The minutes are contained in an exercise book, inscribed 'From Wm Baxter 1921', presumably indicating that it was given to the library by him at that date. According to another note by Baxter the volume is in 'Mr S.P. Acton's writing'. (Samuel Poole Acton, a very well-known Bromley man, prominent in many spheres of local activity)
The committee was established at 'A Public Meeting of the Inhabitants of Bromley held at the Bell Inn Bromley on the 16th February, 1863'. George Ward Norman took the chair and it was firstly resolved 'that steps be taken to celebrate the marriage of the Prince of Wales with the Princess Alexandra of Denmark in a due and becoming manner' and also to make the day itself a general or half holiday in the parish. A fund in aid of the cause was started
At its first meeting, four days later, the committee decided on the form of the celebrations - an entertainment for the schoolchildren of the parish, a sack of coals for each poor family, a procession through the town, rustic sports and pastimes, and a firework display in the White Hart Field (courtesy of the Cricket Club) - were all agreed and the necessary ad hoc sub-committees organised
The committee met again four times before Fete day, dealing with problems such as finding rooms for the children, the delivery of 40 tons of coal to 633 families, police arrangements for the procession and so on. Rather surprisingly, at the meeting held on 27th February 1863, Mr Sargood carried the patriotic proposal that 'the children should be regaled with British Wine'. A last meeting on 17th March 1863 gives the accounts for the Fete, which cost £173. 0s 11d., a small surplus being re-distributed among the officials. A graphic account of the great day is given in the Bromley Record of 1st April 1863. The meal provided for the 754 children consisted of 'a very nice meat pie, warm, weighing about ten ounces..... and two slices of plum pudding.... and a glass of wine also, excepting to those who preferred lemonade instead.' The sports included flat races, a jingling match, sack race and climbing the greasy pole. The 'Record' praises the fireworks, but does not quite bear out a small pencil note at the end of the minute book, in Baxter's writing, which asserts - 'Our! (his own!) Coloured Fires eclipsed the professional ones'
Throughout the minutes the guiding hands of many well-known Bromley worthies can be seen - apart from those already mentioned the names of Latter, Pawley, Hinchcliffe, Satterthwaite and the Rev. Hellicar are all prominent, and the book gives an interesting example of the speed with which these men could organise so large an event in the town which was then beginning to change its hitherto rural character

HAYES BRANCH OF KENT COUNTY NURSING ASSOC
140 [n.d.]
Creator(s):
Hayes Branch of Kent County Nursing Association
Administrative history:
The Hayes Nursing Association was set up in 1909 to provide a cheaper health care service for the parish. It was eventually superseded by the N.H.S. The first committee meeting proposed the employment of a general nurse for a year and this was approved by a parish poll. Doctors Ilott, Blake and McArthur soon applied to participate in the scheme. Initially the Association was affiliated to the Cottage Benefit Nursing Association but in 1910 it joined the K.C.N.A. (an independent body working with the M.O.H. in Kent) and amalgamated with the Bromley Common branch. The committee met every quarter to arrange the nurse's salary and accommodation and discuss finances. Finance was arranged by annual subscription, (which varied according to income), donations, and fund raising activities.

RECORDS OF BLACKNEY'S FORGE, CHISLEHURST
173 [n.d.]
Source of acquisition:
Presented to the Library in 1973 by Mr. E. Thompson of Chislehurst, through Mr. T.A. Bushell.
Administrative history:
The Blackney family operated forges in the Chislehurst area from the late 18th century to about 1870. These two volumes are the only records of their work known to survive and were rescued from a bonfire. There are also extracts from an earlier account book (now lost) which began in 1792.
It appears that the family came originally from Berkshire, for Samuel Blackney of Chislehurst, blacksmith, stated in a settlement examination on 6 October 1783 that he had been born in Speen, near Newbury, and had served his father there in the manner of an apprentice. He was married in St Mary Cray, probably before 1780. (613/2 p.321)
The Samuel and Thomas Blackney whose accounts we have probably belonged to a later generation. Members of the family at one time or another operated three forges, in High Street and Perry Street, Chislehurst, and on St Pauls Cray Common.
Some notes on the family and their forges, with extracts from the earlier account book, were prepared by Mr Bushell, and are available in the Local Studies Library. (L 37.6)
The scope of their work ranged beyond horseshoes, harness and farm machinery to veterinary care e.g. 'bleeding horse & 1 dose of Physic 3s 6d' (173/1 F.213 r) and 'bleeding a cow 2s' (173/1 f.213r, 24 1) and a wide variety of ironwork. A few examples are :
'2 new keys, cleaning and repairing 2 locks, taking off and refixing 2s' (173/1 f. 122 r)
'Drilling out old screws. 7 new ditto and fixing on top of boiler 3s 6d' (173/1 f. 131 1)
'2 hand hooks for orange tubs 3s 6d' (173/1 f. 39r)
Mending and repaired bell wire in bedroom 2s' (173/1 f. 122 r)
'Mending 2 coffee pots 1s' (173/1 f. 213 r)
The ledger records the accounts of regular customers. It is foliated, the number, which applies to the facing right and left hand pages, being written in the top right-hand corner of each right-hand page. The volume begins with a list of customers, and the folio numbers of their accounts. They included the more prominent local residents, and among names noted were Sir Herbert Jenner, Mr Bascomb of the 'manor house', the Hon. Miss Townshend of Scadbury Park and Mrs Martin of Camden Place. Some of their other customers are listed among the Chislehurst tradesmen in Kelly's Directory of the Home Counties, 1856.
Work was also done for the Rev. Francis Dawson, rector until 1846, for the National School, and for parish officers and institutions - the surveyor, churchwardens and poorhouse.
There are notes of payment of accounts and some of the accounts were carried forward to other pages or a new book (not present) when space ran out. One account is continued to the end of 1852 (f. 178 r) but the others were apparently transferred to a new ledger by the end of 1850.
The entries in the odd job book are listed chronologically, with the name of the customer, nature of the job and the charge. Some jobs, such as paring out 8 feet, were charged as little as 2d. There are periodical notes of payment of bills, and entries transferred to 'big book' (the ledger). An example of this is a job done for Mr Francis, 5 Jan 1842: new piping for shop stove, 16s also entered in 173/1 f. 273 1.

BECKENHAM, WOMEN CITIZENS ASSOCIATION
236 [n.d.]
Creator(s):
Bromley Women Citizens Association
Administrative history:
The BWCA (1918 - 1976) was a branch of the National Women Citizens Association. The minutes cover only part of its existence as records have been lost or destroyed. The monthly meetings were held initially in members' homes, but later, as membership grew, at the Methodist hall and finally at the old council hall, Bromley Road.
The BWCA discussed contemporary social and political issues in debates and study circles and invited guest speakers to address members on these topics. Outings, with an educational emphasis, were also organised. However the association also concerned itself with local affairs. Representatives sat on various committees for community welfare. Domestic skills, such as dressmaking and millinery, were not neglected.
Activities were interrupted by the war but resumed soon after. The association remained basically unchanged until its closure in 1976, two years after the parent body.
