John Ruskin College

The John Ruskin Institution is a further education college located in South Croydon. It provides people with both full-time and part-time educational opportunities, including apprenticeships and full-time vocational programs.
In 2019, John Ruskin College became a member of Orbital South Colleges as a result of a merger that took place with East Surrey College, which included the incorporation of the Reigate School of Art.
Near the A212 roundabout can be found John Ruskin College, which can be found on Selsdon Park Road (A2022). In addition to being accessible by a variety of local bus routes, the College may be reached by tram through the Gravel Hill tram station.
The John Ruskin Boys' Central School was the original name of the institution that is now known as John Ruskin College. It was established in the London Borough of Croydon in 1920. Scarbrook Road in Croydon was where you could find it. It was established for business on January 12, 1920, and was given the name John Ruskin. The Lady Edridge School, which would eventually turn into a grammar school in 1951, also opened its doors on the same day as its male counterpart. Lady Edridge was the first "Lady Freeman" of the Borough of Croydon. She was also the wife of a Mayor of Croydon. In 1980, it was put out of business and eventually dismantled.
In 1935, the school relocated to its current location on Tamworth Road, and four years later, in April 1945, it was officially designated as the John Ruskin Grammar School for Boys (JRGS). The John Ruskin Selective Central School was the former occupant of this building. In 1955, it relocated to its current location on Upper Shirley Road in Shirley, and in 1971, it was renamed the John Ruskin High School. In the following years, it evolved into a 14–18 coeducational comprehensive school. 1991 was the year that saw its destruction. The Shirley Windmill, which dates back to the 19th century, was located on the property that is now known as Upper Shirley Road. To establish the current John Ruskin College in Selsdon, the upper forms were relocated there. The college now makes use of the facilities that were formerly occupied by John Newnham Secondary Selective School. This school was named after a town clerk who worked in the 20th century for the predecessor to the County Borough of Croydon.
Following a reorganization of post-16 education in Croydon in 1988, the present College was founded the following year. In February 2019, it combined with East Surrey College to form what is now known as the Orbital South Colleges group.

John S. Thorne

John S. Thorne (c.1840–1904) was called one of the "Black Kings of Edisto" because of his efforts to improve the lives of the formerly-enslaved men and women of Edisto Island during Reconstruction era.Lindsay, Nick and Cart, Julia. And I'm Glad: An Oral History of Edisto Island Arcadia Publishing: 2005.
Born a Free Person of Color in Charleston, Thorne came to Edisto after the Civil War. He organized a "co-op" in which men and women pooled their funds, and in 1871, acting as agent for that "co-op," Thorne purchased two former plantations on Edisto: Baynard's "Seaside" and "Shergould". The total acreage was around 500 acres.
Thorne then had the plantations subdivided and each of the "co-op" members received a share of land proportional to his or her investment. Thorne thereby made landowners of nearly 40 formerly-enslaved Edistonians.Spencer, Charles. Edisto Island, 1861 to 2006: Ruin, Recovery, and Rebirth History Press: 2008.
Thorne continued to purchase and resell real estate on Edisto, including keeping land for himself on which he built a thriving cotton business. He operated six cotton gins and a general store. He was also known for making advances to farmers so that they could plant their crops.
A reporter from the Charleston News and Courier reported in 1880 that Thorne was one of the richest men on Edisto, with a personal worth of over $20,000, with his cotton gins ginning more cotton than any of the White-owned cotton gins on Edisto. He also had "a comfortable house," which house is still standing."The Sea Islands" Charleston News and Courier 22 April 1880.
Thorne joined with Jim Hutchinson and several other prominent Edistonians and obtained a state corporate charter to run a ferry from Edisto to Charleston.
Always looking out for his community, Thorne headed up the Hurricane Relief Committee for Edisto in the wake of the destructive "Sea Islands Hurricane" of 1893. He would later serve as enumerator on Edisto Island for the federal census of 1900.
Thorne died at his home on Edisto in 1904. His remains were removed to Charleston to a family plot for burial.

John Samuel Browning

John Samuel Browning (1831-24 July 1909), also known as John Spence Browning, was a British-born pioneer surveyor in the South Island of New Zealand.
==Life==
John Browning was born in Norfolk, England in 1831. His family held shipping interests which lead to him travelling to the East Indies in September 1844 as a sailor. As captain of the whaling vessel Susan, Browning navigated the Pacific from 1855- 1856, finally arriving to trade in New Zealand from Australia.
In 1857, Browning entered the New Zealand Government Service as an assistant surveyor and draughtsman with the Canterbury Public Works Department. In 1862, on closure of the afore-mentioned department, he became Assistant Surveyor with the newly formed Lands and Survey Department and was employed in exploring the mountain passes between Canterbury and the West Coast. He later became District and Mining Surveyor, and set up the Survey Department in Hokitika. In 1876 he was appointed Chief Surveyor at Nelson, as well as being appointed Commissioner of Crown Lands in 1891 a position he held until his retirement on October 1, 1896.
==Wilberforce Expedition==
In 1864-65, at the commencement of the gold rush era on the West Coast, John Browning and others were sent to explore the passes over the Main Divide in the Southern Alps, with the object of finding a practicable route for a road. Browning was part of an exploring party along with Richard James Strachan Harman (after whom Harman Pass is named), and J. J. Johnstone, who in April 1865 negotiated the pass on the basis of information supplied by an elderly Maori man living in Kaiapoi. This pass (Maori: Nōti Raureka) was subsequently named Browning Pass and the small lake at the pass given the name Lake Browning (Maori Whakarewa). One of the peaks overlooking the pass was called Mt Harman (Maori: Kaniere, ) after party member Richard Harman.
