Strawberry Hill House Reopens 2 October 2010
“An 18th century Gothic castle in Twickenham will open its doors to the public after a £9m restoration project.
Strawberry Hill House, in Waldegrave Road, will officially open to visitors on Saturday after a two-year long restoration on the first phase of the building.
The Grade I listed building was built by the writer and son of Britain’s first Prime Minister, Horace Walpole, between 1747 and 1792 as a Gothic fantasy. It is one of Britain’s finest examples of Georgian Gothic Revival architecture.”

Spring Heeled Jack
A group of girls crossing Barnes Common reported that a man dressed in a dark cloak vaulted the railings surrounding the churchyard, tore at their clothing then ran off laughing. Similar assaults took place the following month on Clapham Common. This time the cloaked assailant left footprints showing “machines or springs” built into his shoes. On October 11th a barmaid was assaulted at Blackheath Fair by a man with ‘fiery eyes who spat blues flames and smelt of sulphur’. He too ripped at her clothes with what felt like iron claws then ran off laughing. The barmaid said that “he looked like a nobleman”.

The Ghost on Richmond Green
The Richmond and Twickenham Times sold on Saturday 23rd October 1886 was the usual mix of court reports, news items from the surrounding parishes and the familiar advertisements - “Blair’s Gout Pills, the great remedy for Gout, Sciatica and Lumbago”, “Mazawatte Tea - for City Men, Brain Workers and those of weak indigestion”, “Clarke’s B41 Pills, guaranteed to cure all discharges from the urinary tract” and even more unlikely “Messrs Tomlinson, Estate Agents - for houses to be let or sold in St Margarets from £20 to £300 per annum.”

A Superhero for Our Time
The Return of Wilson
In August Dr. Sharon Lamb from the University of Massachusetts told the annual Convention of the American Psychological Association in San Diego, California, that modern superheroes may not be the best image for boys to look up to if society wants to promote kinder, less stereotypical male behaviours.
