Know Your London Resource

To provide a resource of images and pdf documents, a separate Web location has been set up to allow easy access for users. It is the 'knowyourlondon' area of the 'Keep and Share' Website. To access it, just click on the link below. Before doing so, you are advised to read the following paragraphs carefully. They will guide you through what is available and how to access it.

The resource consists of two types of file - images (in their own format) and pdf documents (which can be read by Adobe Reader). Because they have different formats, they are held in separate folders.

Having explained that images and pdf documents are held separately, it should also be pointed out that there are three categories of access for the user:

(1) Public Access (free to the user). There are two 'free' sections - one holding images and one holding pdf documents. They are available to anyone who may be interested. You can view the material and, if you wish, you may download any of the images or pdf files.

(2) Member's Access. There are two 'members' sections - also consisting of folders holding images and other folders holding pdf documents. They can be reached using a password, obtainable from Adrian Prockter (by email request). This material is being built up as time goes by. The information in this part of the Website is available by subscription only (which is currently £25.00 per year). This material is unique to this Website and represents years of personal research by Adrian Prockter devoted to presenting the history of Inner London.

(3) Packs (published in paper A4 format). All of Adrian's lectures are being put into the system, in the form of Packs, published in paper A4 format. The front pages for these packs are shown as one-page pdf documents, to give some idea of how the packs look. The Packs are available at additional cost (currently £7.00 per pack) and provide the history of a particular area of Inner London.

Over the next few years the whole of Inner London will be covered (extending from Hammersmith in the east to Woolwich in the west, as far north as Hampstead and Highgate and extending as far south as Crystal Palace). It is divided un into about 50 areas. A Pack will be produced for each area (over a period of six years). These can be purchased separately. Supporting each Pack are images and pdf documents (containing maps and further information). Some of these are free (on the Public Access area) and others are on the Members Access area (which can only be accessed by annual membership as described above).

If you are new to the KYL Resource, click on the link below. It will take you to a Web-page with 'KeepandShare' as the title. Below the title line you will see 'Welcome to knowyourlondon's Shares'. Below that (in blue) are two Headings - ' Photo Albums ' and ' Documents and Files '. Clicking on these Headings will take you directly to the images or the pdf documents.

Finally, two of the most useful items to help you find you way around the information stored there are:

(a) 'Index to the KYL Resource' (found under 'Photo Albums'). These images give a visual representation of all the information (both images and pdf documents) to be found in the Public and Member's areas of the Website. They are constantly updated, as new information is added and therefore should be looked at regularly to find out out what changes and additions have been made on the Website.

(b) ''Know Your London Weblog.pdf' (found under 'Documents and Files and then go to the folder called 'aa PDF Resource'). This pdf is also constantly being updated, by adding additional paragraphs onto the end of the file. The Weblog (or Blog) will keep you up-to-date with new features being added to the Website. Where necessary, an explanation of why some of the material is added is also given. 

Having read the above explanation, just click on the link below and it will take you to the KYL Resource.
