The Jüdische Volkspartei was founded in August 1919 to represent and promote Jewish national interests in German communities. It therefore set itself apart from the liberal assimilationists of the Central Verein, the parties representing Jewish orthodoxy and the Zionist parties. A large part of its membership and leadership comprised eastern Jews.
Jude Hanbury and Company Limited was acquired by Whitbread and Company Limited in 1929. Jude Hanbury had originally approached Whitbread with the offer of the sale of some public houses in Kent. The company had recently moved its brewery to Canterbury and was looking for extra capital to pay for the Mackeson brewery in Hythe.
Whitbread instead proposed that Jude Hanbury along with Mackeson should merge with Leney and Sons. Whitbread provided the finance and kept a majority share with Jude Hanbury's management kept in place to run it, although they were later removed by Whitbread managing director Nevile who took control of the group himself. The merger guaranteed that the pubs would stock Whitbread beer in addition to their own brands.
At Whitbread the group were known as the Kent breweries.

A J Juby was an anaesthetic instrument maker employed by the firm A Charles King Ltd and subsequently by the British Oxygen Company Ltd. A Charles King (1888-1965) was an engineer and instrument maker who specialised in anaesthetic apparatus from the early 1920s, a period of technical development in the specialty. Following a series of financial problems King's company was taken over by Coxeter's, which subsequently became part of the British Oxygen Company (BOC). King worked with leading anaesthetists in developing instruments and amassed a collection of equipment, which he donated to the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland in 1953 and which has subsequently been augmented by further acquisitions. The collection was moved from King's premises in Devonshire Street to the Royal College of Surgeons in 1965 and to the new premises of the Association of Anaesthetists at no 9 Bedford Square in 1987.
Joyce Green Hospital, Joyce Green Lane, Dartford; previous name: Joyce Green Smallpox Hospital (1903 - 1948).
Previous locations:
Hospital ships: Dreadnought, Greenwich (1871 - 1881)
Endymion and Atlas, Greenwich (1881 - 1884)
Long Reach, Dartford (1884 - 1903)
Castalia, Long Reach, Dartford (1884 - 1903).
The Joyce Green Smallpox Hospital opened on 28 December 1903, the third of the hospitals known as the River Hospitals, along with Long Reach Hospital and The Orchard. They were built to replace the hospital ships Atlas and Endymion which had been moved in 1884 from Greenwich to an isolated situation at Long Reach near Dartford, and the twin hulled Castalia. Originally built for cross-channel services but never used as such, the Castalia was refitted to accommodate 150 smallpox patients with five ward blocks arranged on the double hulls. The hospital ships became too costly and dangerous and after the construction of the new hospital on land nearby Long Reach; they were sold for scrap in 1904.
With a massive outbreak of smallpox in 1901 the temporary Long Reach hospital with 300 beds opened in 1902. The Orchard a larger temporary hospital housing 800 beds also opened in 1902 and at the end of 1903 Joyce Green was opened. All three were administered by a Medical Superintendent, Steward and Matron and were known as The River Hospital for over 60 years until Long Reach and the Orchard closed in 1948.
Although Joyce Green opened to help ease the 1901 smallpox epidemic by the end of 1903 the epidemic was over and deaths were few. Not until the 1920's was there a repeat epidemic but this was only a minor one. Instead the hospital was used as a fever hospital to isolate infectious patients.
It was used as a fever hospital for much of the Great War, occasionally coping with the arrival of large numbers of war refuges most notably in July 1918 when at a week's notice 1000 refuges were received all of whom were vaccinated against smallpox even though only two were found to be infected. After the war, Joyce Green reverted to being a fever hospital with a major outbreak of scarlet fever.
By 1923 Joyce Green was more or less empty and surviving the threat of demolition was rebuilt and repaired taking into account modern thought to include isolation units and electric light. The Medical Superintendent at this time also turned his attention to the grounds at Joyce Green, which to his credit and that of his gardener, Henry W. Hopkins, became a centre of plant propagation for other Metropolitan Asylums Board institutions. In 1928 there was a major outbreak of smallpox so Joyce Green was finally being used for its true purpose.
With the outbreak of War, Joyce Green underwent several changes in role from smallpox hospital to fever hospital to Emergency Medical Hospital from 1939 -1941, and it saw an increase in beds from 986 to over 1500 and the setting up of specialist hospital units including three x-ray departments. The hospital survived with no major was damage but by 1945 patient numbers fell back to 428, and with the cessation of war a decline in activity.
In 1948 the NHS took control from the London County Council and Joyce Green was run by the South East Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board and Darenth and Dartford Hospital Management Committee. In 1974 after NHS reorganisation it was run by the South East Thames Regional Health Authority and the Dartford and Gravesham District Health Authority.
In 1998 Joyce Green Hospital formed part of the Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust along with West Hill Hospital, which is closed to all except outpatients. Joyce green covers Accident and Emergency, general surgery, urology, orthopaedics, paediatrics, haematology, general medicine, care of the elderly and postgraduate medical training. In September 2000 the purpose built Darenth Valley Hospital opened to replace Joyce Green Hospital, West Hill Hospitals and Gravesend maternity services.

Messrs Joshua Ashby and Sons were millers and corn merchants at Brixton Mill, Blenheim Gardens (formerly Cornwall Road), Stockwell, Lambeth.
"In 1817 John Ashby of Brixton Hill, miller, obtained a lease for 99 years from Hall of two acres of land (plot 84) on the south side of a new road to be called Cornwall Road (now Blenheim Gardens), together with a "Brick corn Mill" and other erections. The windmill was erected in 1816-17 at the south-west corner of the two acres. Save for a brief period in 1862-4, when the sails of the mill were removed and new machinery installed, the windmill was in continuous use by the firm of Ashby until 1934. It has been listed as a building of architectural and historic interest under the Town and Country Planning Act, 1947, and in 1955 the London County Council purchased the site for an open space. The mill is built of stock brick, painted over, and is surmounted by a gallery and a wooden boat-shaped cap; the gallery was added later. The ancillary buildings are of brick-nogged and weather boarded construction with pantile roofs."

The Josephine Butler Society (1962-fl.2007) was formed in 1962 when the Association for Moral and Social Hygiene was renamed. Its objectives were: To promote a high and equal standard of morality and sexual responsibility for men and women in public opinion, law and practice; To promote the principles of the International Abolitionist Federation in order to secure the abolition of state regulation of prostitution, to combat the traffic in persons and to expose and prevent any form of exploitation of prostitution by third parties; To examine any existing or proposed legislation on matters associated with prostitution or related aspects of public order and to promote social, legal and administrative reforms in furtherance of the above objectives. Its basic principles were: social justice; equality of all citizens before the law; a single moral standard for men and women. (Taken from membership and donation form 1990). The Josephine Butler Society was a pressure group not a rescue organisation. It wished to prevent the exploitation of prostitutes and marginalisation of those who could be forced into this activity by poverty and abuse, and it believed these problems should be addressed by changes in the law. It believed that more should be done to prevent young people from drifting into prostitution, to help those who wished to leave it, and to rehabilitate its victims. Its work in the early 21st century took two main forms: to make representation to various departments of the UK Government on prostitution and related issues an; to liase and network with other agencies both statutory and voluntary who worked in related areas. As at 2008 it was still active.
The origins of the Josephine Butler Society are based in the campaigns against the Contagious Diseases Acts of 1864-1869. The Acts were a series of measures aimed at reducing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases in the armed forces and applied to a number of ports and garrison towns. Police forces were granted powers to identify and register prostitutes who were then forced to undergo compulsory medical examinations. Women who refused to submit willingly could be arrested and brought before a magistrate. The campaign against the Contagious Diseases Acts brought together moralists, feminists and libertarians and included campaigners such as the parliamentarian James Stansfeld, the Sheffield radical Henry J. Wilson and the writer Harriet Martineau. It proved to be one of the largest cross-party political campaigns of the nineteenth century, comparable only to the Corn Laws agitation. The campaign was successful; the Contagious Diseases Acts were suspended in 1883 and finally repealed in 1886.
Josephine Butler (ne Grey 1828-1906) was a leading feminist, prolific writer and tireless campaigner. She was appointed President of the North of England Council for the Higher Education of Women 1867-1869 and edited the influential collection of essays Woman's work and woman's culture in 1869. Having been involved in 'rescue work' with Liverpool prostitutes she became leader of the campaign to repeal the Contagious Diseases Acts in 1869. She later campaigned with WT Stead against child prostitution in London and from 1886 was involved in opposing measures in India, under the Cantonement Acts, to establish military brothels.
The history of this collection involves the history of three different companies which came together over a period of about 70 years as a result of takeovers and buyouts by J. Lyons and Company. (The history of J. Lyons and Co. can be found in the introduction to ACC/3527)
In 1826 John Horniman had founded a tea packing business in Jersey. He was the first man to market packet tea rather than loose tea. In 1899 his sons, William Henry and Frederick John incorporated the business and established strong markets in Yorkshire. Their factory was in Wormwood Street, London. In 1918 J. Lyons and Co. purchased a controlling interest in W.H. and F.J. Horniman & Co. Ltd. to try and gain stength in the markets up North which Brooke Bond had already established. This was around the same time of the Lyons' big move to the factory site at Greenford, Middlesex in 1920. In 1968 Lyons bought out the remaining shareholders of this company, the "Overseas Trading Corporation Ltd." and it became a wholly owned subsidiary. At this point Horniman's whole operation relocated from Jersey to the UK.
Lyons did not stop their ambitions for expansion there and later took an interest in Joseph Tetley Company. Trading as tea merchants since 1837 in Huddersfield the Tetley family established Joseph Tetley & Co. when one of the brothers, Jospeh, went into partnership with Jospeh Aklan in 1856. Over the next 20 years the business continued to grow and expanded into the United States. It was these established American connections through the work of a distribution company called Wright and Graham which allowed it to grow at a faster rate. In 1913 Tetley established a base in America through Wright and Graham which became Tetley Tea Incorporated. Perhaps one of Tetley's most noted achievements was bringing the teabag to England in 1953, nearly 33 years after it had been introduced in America. This was introduced by Tetley Ironside Tetley-Jones, Joseph Tetley and Company's British Representative and became a mainstay of their business.
As the teabag market doubled packet tea was declining. Lyons wanted to raise the profile of its tea operations by purchasing the American Tetley Tea Company from Beech-Nut Incorporated in December 1972 for 23 million pounds. When the merger finished in April 1973 Tetley changed its company name to Lyons Tetley Ltd. to reflect both companies' interests and compete in the 130 million pound tea market. At this time Lyons Tetley Ltd. had a combined workforce of 3,000 with its business based at three sites; Greenford (base of Lyons Groceries), Bletchley (former Tetley UK Head Office and factory) and Eaglescliff (Tetley factory). The acquisition of Tetley brought into the Lyons group two American speciality coffee brands and opportunities in Australia. In 1976 Lyons Tetley merged with Lyons Catering Supplies to avoid duplication of produce. By 1980 the enlarged business had enabled Tetley to dominate the UK teabag market and in 1989 it introduced the world's first round teabag. By 1990 all the various tea and coffee businesses were brought together under the single company of Lyons Tetley Ltd.
1978 was the last independant trading year of Lyons as an individual company because Allied Breweries Ltd acquired J. Lyons and Co. Ltd. which became Allied-Lyons. This was the start of the breakup of the Lyons Tetley empire. In 1994 Allied-Lyons was aquired by Pedro Domecq sherry group and became Allied Domecq. The Tetley tea part of the business was the last to go. In July 1995 it was bought by a management team headed by Leon Allen and backed by Prudential Venture Managers Ltd. It eventually sold for £190 million. In 2000 The Tetley Group was sold to Tata Tea Ltd.
Joseph Preston and Sons were watch, clock and chronometer movement makers of Prescot, Lancashire.
The origins of the company are obscure, but there is evidence to suggest that the Barber family was in business as wharfingers early in the 18th century (see Aytoun-Ellis, 300 Years on London River, London, 1952). Joseph Barber was born in 1778 and first appears in London Directories in business alone, as a wharfinger at Chamberlain's Wharf, Tooley Street, Southwark, in 1815. Evidence from London Directories and miscellaneous deeds (Ms 10944A) suggests that Joseph Barber was also in business in partnership with Robert Smith prior to 1815. The freehold of Brewer's and Chester quays was purchased in 1832, although the company had acquired a leasehold interest in these and also Galley quay some years earlier.
In 1859 the style of the firm was changed to Joseph Barber & Company and in 1861 Chamberlain's quay was sold. The company also acquired warehouses and vaults on the north side of Lower Thames Street; bonded vaults in Beer Lane, George street and Tower Hill; bonded warehouses and vaults in Coopers' Row, and drug and other warehouses in Beer Lane, Savage Gardens and Cooper's Row. In 1901 the company was incorporated as a limited liability company. In 1908 Brewer's, Chester and Galley quays were sold; other warehouses and vaults were also sold and by 1920 only those at 10 Cooper's Row remained. From 1911 the registered offices of the company were: 1911-36, 40 Trinity Square; 1937-46, 41 Trinity Square; 1947-71, 61 Crutched Friars (61-2 Crutched Friars 1957-61); 1972-83, 12 America Square. The company went into liquidation in 1983.
Norman Brooke Jopson: born Leeds, 1890; educated at Cambridge University, where he obtained a first-class degree in French and German and Vienna University, where he studied Slavic languages. He then spent some time in Prague learning Czech and was in St Petersburg learning Russian when the First World War began. On returning to Britain, Jopson was recruited by the Government for work in Postal Censorship. He spent the war in this and other Government departments. This experience allowed him to widen his knowledge of languages. After the war he joined the Foreign Office. In 1922 he left Government service to become Reader in Comparative Philology at SSEES. He left SSEES in 1937 to take up an appointment as the first holder of the Professorship in Comparative Philology at Cambridge. In 1939 Jopson was recalled by the Government to work in Postal Censorship again. He became head of the Uncommon Languages Division. In 1945 he returned to Cambridge where he remained for the rest of his life. After his retirement in 1955 he gave a number of overseas lectures. Jopson published little, concentrating instead on learning languages and teaching.
Thomas Joplin was born in Newcastle upon Tyne in c 1790. He initially worked in the family business as a timber merchant but left in the early 1820s and devoted his life to studying political economy and monetary considerations, and to promoting joint-stock banking. In 1833 he co-founded the National Provincial Bank (now part of the National Westminster Bank).
Author of various works on Iceland, Icelandic language and literature, Britain, and English literature, 1923-1976.
Jones Lloyd and Company was a banking firm based in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear.
Before the Norman Conquest the manor of Ruislip was held by Wlward Wit, a thegn of King Edward, who also held the manors of Kempton and Kingsbury in Middlesex and considerable estates elsewhere. By 1086 it had passed to Ernulf of Hesdin (de Hesding), who granted it to the Abbot and Convent of the Benedictine Abbey of Bec in Normandy. Bec enjoyed possession of it until 1211 when King John sequestrated the properties of the abbey, and were fully confiscated in 1404, when Henry IV granted Ruislip manor, with reversion to the king and his heirs, jointly to his third son John, later Duke of Bedford. On his death in 1435 the manor reverted to the Crown, and although Bec petitioned the king for the restoration of their property, Henry VI in 1437 leased Ruislip manor, with a plot called Northwood, for seven years, later extended to a grant for life, to his chancellor John Somerset. In 1438 the king granted the reversion on this estate to the University of Cambridge. The University surrendered its interest in 1441, and the king granted the reversion to his new foundation, the College of St. Mary and St. Nicholas, later King's College, Cambridge. In 1451, shortly after a Commons petition requesting the dismissal of Somerset, Ruislip manor was granted outright to King's College. In 1461, however, Henry VI was defeated by Edward of York and the Lancastrian grants were declared void. King's College was not included in the list of exemptions; but in the following year Edward IV granted Ruislip manor, with Northwood, in free alms to King's College, in whose possession it remained until the break-up of the college estates in the early 20th century.

Harrow manor was owned by Archbishop Wulfred, who gave the Harrow lands to his kinsman, Werhard, a priest, for life. Werhard in 845 devised the land to the monks of Christ Church, Canterbury. Harrow was held by King Harold's brother, Earl Leofwine, in 1066, but Canterbury regained it after the Conquest. When the Canterbury lands were divided by Lanfranc between the archbishop and Christ Church, Harrow and Hayes were allotted to the former. Except sede vacante, when it was administered by the Crown, Harrow manor was held by the archbishops until Cranmer was forced to exchange it with Henry VIII on 30 December 1545. Six days later, the king sold it to Sir Edward (later Lord) North (d. 1564), Chancellor of the Court of Augmentations. Dudley (d. 1666), the 3rd baron, sold Harrow manor in 1630 to Edmund Phillips and George and Rowland Pitt. In 1636, after Phillips's death, Rowland Pitt quitclaimed his interest to George Pitt and his heirs. George Pitt's son, Edmund, was dead by 1666 and the manor descended to Edmund's daughter, Alice, and her successive husbands, Edward Palmer and Sir James Rushout. The manor remained with the Rushouts, until the 3rd baron, Sir George Rushout-Bowles, died in 1887. His widow, Lady Elizabeth Augusta, sold some of the estate but on her death in 1912 the bulk passed to her grandson, Capt. E. G. Spencer-Churchill. He sold the remaining land in the 1920s but retained the manorial rights until his death in 1964, when they passed to his executors.
'Harrow manor' described both manorial rights over the whole area and the chief demesne farm in the centre of the parish. To distinguish it from the Rectory estate at Harrow-on-the-Hill, the demesne was, from the 14th century, called Sudbury manor or Sudbury Court. Its descent followed that of Harrow manor.

Sir Francis Avery Jones was known amongst his contemporaries as the "Father of Modern Gastroenterology". Born in Briton Ferry, Carmarthenshire on 31st May 1910, he graduated from St Bartholomew's Hospital Medical school in 1934, and received his MD and MRCP in 1936. In 1940 he became Consulting Physician and Gastroenterologist at Central Middlesex Hospital, London, remaining in this position until 1974. Other positions of note include: Honorary Consulting Gastroenterologist at St Mark's Hospital, London, Emeritus Consultant in Gastroenterology to the Royal Navy and Honorary Consultant Physician at St Bartholomew's, London. Avery Jones was a pioneer in the development of the modern approach to the treatment of peptic ulcer disease, publishing a series of important papers on the subject in association with Richard Doll. Doll and Avery Jones identified a number of factors which accelerated the healing of peptic ulcers, including bed rest, cessation of smoking and use of the drug carbenoxolene.
Throughout his illustrious career, Avery Jones was actively involved with a number of medical societies, presiding over several, including the British Society of Gastroenterology, the British Digestive Foundation and the Medical Artists Association. Further honours and appointments include a seat on the council of the University Of Surrey; the presidency and gold medal of The Medical Society of London; the vice presidency and gold medal of the Royal College of Physicians; and the Mastership of the Worshipful Company of Barbers, for whom he also held the title of Barber Emeritus. He was made a CBE in 1967 and knighted in 1970. Avery Jones was a strong supporter and constructive critic of the NHS, and his many achievements include setting up the Meals on Wheels service, his involvement in the King's Fund (a medical think tank), and his strong support for nutritional studies. He was also responsible for galvanising his colleagues into official action on cigarette smoking. Towards the end of his career he arranged for the funding and building of the Avery Jones Postgraduate Medical Centre at Central Middlesex Hospital. He died in May 1998 in Chichester, West Sussex.

In 1913 an experimental research laboratory was set up, in 1914 Jones was made Reader in Phonetics and in 1921 he became the first Professor of Phonetics in a British university. During his years at University College London and after his retirement in 1949, Jones published several works.

The Joint US Public Affairs Office (JUSPAO) was an interagency organisation created in 1965 by the US Embassy, Saigon, the US Operations Mission, and the US Information Agency as part of the US Mission in South Vietnam. JUSPAO co-ordinated all US psychological and information programs in South Vietnam. These programs explained and interpreted US policies to Vietnamese audiences. JUSPAO was also responsible for providing overall policy guidance to and co-ordination of US psychological operational efforts through analyses of captured Viet Cong and North Vietnamese papers.
