The legacy Leslie Hore-Belisha and road safety

LESLIE HORE-BELISHA (1893–1957) will forever be remembered for instigating the ubiquitous Belisha beacon to mark a pedestrian road crossing, but his contribution as Minister for Transport in the 1930s was far greater than that. He took office in 1934, a time when members of the public were taking to the wheel in their kamikaze droves, often with more enthusiasm than skill.

Strip the willow

SOME mornings I sit and marvel at the genius of William Morris. Our downstairs lavatory is screened from prying eyes by a panel of leaded lights made from hand-cast and painted Morris & Co glass in about 1887. Sunlight treacles through the bubbles and the painted willow wands. Willows are to us what olive trees are to southern Europeans, I would suggest, from time immemorial our most prolific and most useful crop. The osier beds must have been Morris's muse, living at Kelmscott in the west Oxfordshire flatlands on the upper reaches of the Thames: withy beds characterised the Thames valley for the manufacture of all things packaging. Before he designed Willow Bough, his most celebrated wallpaper, Morris mused in poetry of 'the happy willow tree, with the river by it sighing'.

Fast living

TO visit some houses in the Devon boondocks in the 1970s was to be in Ireland with 70% of the rain and more cider. Hidden in deep folds in the landscape were families who seemed to share many of the bucolic eccentricities of the Anglo-Irish ascendancy, unconcerned by tumbling masonry or leaking roofs. It was there that I enjoyed some of the most carefree times of my youth with Robin Grant-Sturgis, one of life's great characters and a man who has prematurely joined the Turf Club after living his allotted span to the maximum on Southern Comfort and untipped Senior Service. He did a 'proper job', as they say in those parts.
