The Loxley Trust


Book Description

If he were still alive today, Robin Hood would be viewed as a threat to the government – a non-violent terrorist. The historical Robin acted within the context of Norman/Saxon Britain; the Robin in this book operates internationally and sees himself as acting for global justice, fairness, and against all governments, companies and individuals who prosper from violent conflict and who violate international agreements on human rights. The Loxley Trust describes the background and actions of a UN commander who is sent to Africa to protect a village, where he is attacked by a well-armed rabble of child soldiers, high on drugs, leaving no opportunity for negotiation. Robin aims to change the world, one by one, but it won’t be quick or easy. The Loxley Trust is a political thriller that will foster debate on how we can create a one-world society based upon co-operation between all nations and communities. It identifies the forces that work to halt the creation of a harmonious society and looks at how we can fight against those forces before conflict escalates into violence. This book sheds light on some of the most pressing issues of 21st century – the arms trade, the systemic corruption of the government and the banks and financial institutions that facilitate and profit from each and every transaction. The Loxley Trust is a fascinating read for anyone interested in moving towards ‘one world’ and celebrating diversity, equality, co-operation and love.




Sheffield 6 At Home in Hillsborough, Loxley and Wadsley


Book Description

Sheffield 6 is a part of Sheffield which developed with the industrial revolution. From a few scattered rural settlements it grew to feature dense suburban housing. In the seventeenth century there were along the rivers both dwellings and small work places where knives were 'manufactured'.The water power was harnessed to turn water wheels that ran the machinery of the day. Today the suburb is largely lived in by ordinary working people but still there are the individual houses which were home to Lords of the Manor or those who were the managers of the firms which employed large numbers of those who lived in the newly built terraced housing which is such a feature of the locality. The book tells the story of some of the old houses and looks at factors which contributed to the making of the terraced and semi detached homes that line the many streets of the locality. In addition there are 'snapshots' of some of those who have lived in these homes.
