Professor John Sherwood: An appreciation ORGANIC crystalline materials are ubiquitous in our everyday life, from pharmaceuticals, fuels and soap and candles to chocolate and ice cream, crop protection products and electro-optic materials. Crystals are periodic structures of 3D ordered molecules, though they can be imperfect due to missing or misplaced molecules or the same when dimensionally extended. Such defects are highly important as they affect the material’s properties and, hence, performance. Understanding, characterising and defining the crystal growth of these materials and, in particular, the pivotal inter-relationship between their growth conditions, defect types and resulting properties owes so very much to the seminal work, spanning six decades, of Professor John N Sherwood of the University of Strathclyde, who died, aged 87, last month.
MEMORIES of Christmas past can be found in these photographs of cards and celebrations from years gone by. Dating back to at least the 1940s they show some of the much-loved traditions of the festive season which still endure to this day. The photographs, which are from the archives of Aireborough Historical Society, were taken in Guiseley, Rawdon and Yeadon - except for a wartime Christmas greeting which was sent from The Middle East. Two images of cards each feature Yeadon Town Hall, but depict eras a century or so apart. A card sent by estate agents and surveyors Ackroyd and Dent dates back to 1980 and marks the town hall’s centenary. The traditional snow scene shows the market.The building features again on an undated card showing a romanticised picture harking back to Victorian times.
