The area was host to small artistic communities which used the railway as a means of &#8216;escaping&#8217; from London. The Blewbury Artists and Long Wittenham&#8217;s connections to the Cockerel Press and Reading University will be explored.<\/p>\n<p>I will also be looking at amateur examples of early photography and the military dissemination of technology. I also hope to link the spread of early phonograph equipment and recordings based on actual examples of early 19th Century artefacts that I collected from my country step-grandfather.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stanley Kirkby: In the Woodshed.Edison Bell 8&#8243;\u00c2\u00a0Radio Shellac Disc (c.1928-31) Tracking Time: Art, Technology and Modernism in the Thames Valley 1850-1950 This proposed book is the likely outcome of a PhD which I will commence in the next few years &#8211; timing depends on how much support I get from my own or other institutions.
