Q28195085 Len Deighton's London Dossier is a guide book to London, edited by British author Len Deighton and published in 1967. It consists of a "collection of personal guides to the hidden gems and sites of London by a range of writers and raconteurs, many of them Len Deighton’s friends." Deighton himself contributes two of the 14 essays.Among the contributors are the Sunday Times columnist and editor Godfrey Smith, musician and TV presenter Steve Race, the Evening Standard critic and columnist Milton Shulman, photographer and journalist Daniel Farson, photographer Adrian Flowers, investigative reporter and crime writer Eric Clark, and photographer, journalist and foodie Adrian Bailey.The book is "styled as a 'dossier' to capitalise in part on Deighton's growing reputation at the time as a spy thriller writer, and also cashes in on his growing reputation as one of sixties London's 'names' and all-purpose man about town.The book will tell you where to hire a barrel organ; where to buy snake steaks; where to find the nearest nudist colony; and how to handle taxi drivers. It's eclectic in the extreme, but a fantastic read where the mini skirts, cigarette smoke and smell of jellied eels leaps off the page."

Q7965775 Walter Padbury (22 December 1820 – 18 April 1907) was an Australian pioneer and philanthropist.Padbury was born at Stonesfield, near Woodstock, in the English county of Oxfordshire. He arrived in Fremantle, Western Australia in the Protector with his father on 25 February 1830, but in the following July his father died. The lad was left in the care of a married couple who stole the money his father had left and absconded. Padbury then had to fend for himself. He followed various occupations and when 16 was shepherding near York for £10 a year. Later he saved enough to send for his mother and the rest of his family, took up land, was one of the first settlers to open up the north-west of Australia, by becoming a pastoral squatter on the traditional lands of the indigenous Nyamal around the De Grey River in 1863- a venture which failed after several years. In 1863 was sending stock by sailing ships to Carnarvon.He retained his interest in the north-west all his life, but he also established a general store business in Perth and other centres. Late in life he founded a successful flour-mill at Guildford. He was much interested in the Royal Agricultural Society of Western Australia and was president in 1874, 1875, 1876 and 1885.For many years he was a member of the Perth city council, for some time was chairman of the Guildford council (now the Swan), and for five years was an elected member of the Western Australian Legislative Council.

His wife, Charlotte, had died in February 1895.Padbury was a good example of the kind of man who, having no advantages and no one to help him, rises to a leading place in his community. Having got into a good financial position he not only helped his own family, he held out a helping hand to many other men less fortunate than himself. He was a generous contributor to charitable institutions and was particularly interested in orphan children. A sincerely religious man he gave largely to his church, and it was principally due to his munificence that it was found possible to establish the Anglican Diocese of Bunbury. By his will large sums of money were left to various Western Australian charitable institutions.Walter Padbury was well known for his charitable works. He sponsored an eye operation for a sandalwood farmer named Edmund Keen Byrne (1833–1904) of Bindoon. Edmund had originally arrived in Perth on the ship Orient in 1848 as a Parkhurst Lad. Walter not only paid for his trip to London in 1878 on his ship the Charlotte Padbury, but also paid for the operation (necessary because of 'Sandy Blight') and accommodation etc. whilst in London, a period of nearly six months.The northern Perth suburb of Padbury is named after him.

Since the re-organisation of New Zealand local government in 1989 it has been inside the Dunedin City Council area, but was physically separate from the contiguous suburbs until developments in the neighbouring suburb of Fairfield joined it to the city.

Mosgiel stands at the north-eastern extremity of the Taieri Plains. The Silver Stream, a tributary of the Taieri River, runs through its north end.
