The windmills of your mind: Petrie Terrace in the 70s
No full textThe text of a contribution to a public event shedding light on the role played by both the site (Baroona Hall) and the suburb (Petrie Terrace) in the formation of Brisbane's punk and post-punk subcultures. Through an amalgam of recollection, photographs, music and film footage, the texture of the period is casually drawn, with an emphasis on the depth of connection in first-hand experience.\ud
\ud
Petrie Terrace is one of Brisbane’s oldest and most fascinating localities.\ud
\ud
The haunt of larrikins in the 1870s, known for its rowdyism by the 1890s—the pubs, halls and theatres of Petrie Terrace have long been popular venues for music and entertainment.\ud
By the 1970s, stately terraces had been abandoned; musicians and artists were living in rickety tin and timber share houses. Places like the heritage-listed 1880s Baroona Labor Hall (now the home of Lefty’s Old Time Music Hall) played an important role for a new and exciting music emerging out of Brisbane such as The Saints and The Go-Betweens.\ud
\ud
This talk, hosted by Brisbane Open House and the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection, explored the places of this period and beyond.\ud
\ud
Speakers included award winning Australian musician and sound designer John Willsteed, former member of The Go-Betweens; and Ritchie Yorke, internationally renowned rock journalist and author of numerous music books including acclaimed biographies on Led Zeppelin and Van Morrison
Terrace reconstruction and long profile projection: a case study from the Solent river system near Southampton, England
No full textRiver terrace sequences are important frameworks for archaeological evidence and as
such it is important to produce robust correlations between what are often fragmentary
remnants of ancient terraces. This paper examines both conceptual and practical issues
related to such correlations, using a case study from the eastern part of the former Solent
River system near Southampton, England. In this region two recent terrace schemes
have been constructed using different data to describe the terrace deposits: one based
mainly on terrace surfaces; the other on gravel thicknesses, often not recording the
terrace surface itself. The utility of each of these types of data in terrace correlation is
discussed in relation to the complexity of the record, the probability of post-depositional
alteration of surface sediments and comparison of straight-line projections with modern
river long profiles. Correlation using age estimates is also discussed, in relation to
optically-stimulated luminescence dating of sand lenses within terrace gravels in this
region during the PASHCC project. It is concluded that the need for replication at single
sites means that this approach has limited use for correlative purposes, although dating
of sediments is important for understanding wider landscape evolution and patterns of
human occupation

Cambridge Terrace
No full textTight view along the boundary wall to Regent's Park; The greatest achievements of Nash's later years lay in the sphere of urban planning. Regents Park gave him an opportunity to bring Repton's aristocratic landscape-garden ideas to the town. The effect was one of contrived informality made up of a lake, winding paths and clumps of trees interspersed with buildings, and it became a model for countless public parks in England and elsewhere. His plans for the park were approved in 1812 and, with the credit boom following the end of the Napoleonic Wars, he was able to develop the Crown land surrounding the park with profitable housing for the rich. Here, overlooking the park, he produced a series of highly inventive variations on the theme of the Georgian terrace. Park Crescent (1812), Sussex Place (1822), Chester Terrace (1825) and Cumberland Terrace (1825) are palatial-looking structures that conceal commonplace construction and planning behind a display of Roman-inspired architecture in stucco. However, as urban scenery they are second to none in London. Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.groveart.com/ (accessed 1/25/2008
