HARTLEY [ Food Manufacturer, UK ]
Sir William Pickles Hartley founded the "Hartley's Jam"
empire.
The Hartley family had lived around the Trawden area at the foot of the Pendle
Hills probably since the 16thC. They began as fairly modest local grocers in
the district.
William was born in 1846 and left school
at the age of fourteen, working at his mother's grocery shop. He started in
business for himself in Colne at the age of sixteen. As
the business grew William moved into the wholesale trade, and a chance event
in 1871 started the Hartley business rolling, as, so it is said, a supplier
failed to deliver a batch of jam and William was forced to make his own. His
jam, marmalade and jelly sold so well that he continued to make it.
Hartley began to develop his business by producing his own fruit
and packaging it in his own distinctive earthenware pots.
In 1874 the business was transferred to
Bootle, Liverpool.
In 1884 the jam-making business was incorporated
as William Hartley & Sons Limited. In 1886 Hartley moved the business to Aintree
in Liverpool, where he built Hartley Village for his workers. The factory was
self-contained and included Coopers, Joiners and Boxmakers. Millions of the
famous earthenware 'Hartley Jam Jars' were made at Melling and St. Helens. The
factory had its own railway sidings with two locomotives. In the busy season
there were six trains per day handling two hundred waggons.. William chartered
ships and had his own bonded warehouses. Two thousand boxes were made in a day,
the timber imported from Norway.
Throughout his life, he donated money for religious or philanthropic
causes in Colne, Liverpool and in London. Many buildings in Colne, built in
1911 still stand today and are known locally as Hartley Homes. In 1900 Hartley
opened a jam factory in Bermondsey, south-east London and employed over 2,000
people.
By 1908 he had been knighted by King Edward VII for his many charitable acts
and funding to Sunday Schools and for the establishment of hospitals.

HARTLEY House 
Boulevard Park, Sacramento 
Hartley House is a stunning turn-of-the-20th
century mansion with the sophisticated elegance of a small European hotel
located in historic Boulevard Park in midtown Sacramento. Built in 1906,
this Sacramento landmark combines modern comforts with the warmth and

The Hartley Institute: University of Southampton.
Highfield, Southampton, UK
The University of Southampton
established the Hartley Institute in 1993 to promote, facilitate and
encourage research associated with the University Library's extensive
holdings, both in its general stock and particularly of manuscripts,
official publications, the Parkes collections (on the relations of the
Jewish people with others) and regional collections; and to disseminate
knowledge by conferences, seminars, public lectures, publications and
exhibitions. The Institute aims to provide a framework for
collection-based work in the humanities broadly defined; to bring visiting
researchers more immediately into contact with the host academic
community; and to work closely with academic developments on the arts side
of the University.
The University of Southampton has its origins in the
Hartley Institution, founded in 1862 from the bequest of a local merchant,
Henry Robinson Hartley. The University received its royal charter
in 1952 and now has over 17,000 students, of whom more than 3,000 are
post-graduates. There are currently seven faculties: Arts; Engineering and
Applied Science; Law; Mathematical Studies; Medicine, Health and
Biological Sciences; Science; and Social Sciences. The main campus of the
University, which includes the Hartley Library, lies adjacent to
Southampton Common, a large (and ancient) area of woodland and open space,
some three miles from the centre of the city. In addition to the usual
amenities, there is a theatre, a purpose-built concert hall and an art
gallery. The University's activities are spread over several locations in
Southampton and beyond, including the Southampton Oceanography Centre and
Winchester School of Art. Southampton is about one hour from London by
train.
The University Library and its research collections: the Library
was established in 1862. The collections now number more than 1,500,000
books and periodicals, with some 6,500 current titles. The major research
collections include strengths in the humanities, in official publications
and there are important holdings of nineteenth- and twentieth-century
political, diplomatic, official and military manuscripts, together with
probably the largest collection of archive material in Western Europe
relating to the Jewish people. More information is available on this
website.

HARTLEY Platinum Mine, Zimbabwe 
Located about 80km south west of Harare, Hartley was brought into production
in 1997 at a cost of some $289 million by a joint venture between the Australian
companies BHP (67%) and Delta Gold NL (33%). In 1998, Delta spun off its holding
into Zimbabwe Platinum Mines Ltd (Zimplats), and in mid-1999, BHP sold its holding
to Zimplats. The mine, which employed around 3,100 people, was immediately mothballed.
HARTLEY Platinum Mine, South Africa When development of the Hartley Platinum Mine commenced in 1995, it was expected that full production would be achieved in the fourth quarter of calendar 1997. Full production was not achieved and mining operations were suspended on the 2nd June 1998, and the mine placed on care and maintenance

HARTLEY Village, Kent, England 
The Village of Hartley in Kent lies on the northern side of the North Downs between Sevenoaks and Dartford/Gravesend. The northern boundary is the main railway line to London and stretches some 2 miles southwards towards New Ash Green and at its widest is some 1.5 miles. Home to some 6000 people it is a mixed community and retains its rural roots. As a village it has limited street lighting and lacks many of the amenities of a town, it does though contain two beautiful historic churches one of which originates from the Norman times and the other one of the only thatched churches in Kent.
there's even a comet up there in the night sky named
... 103PHARTLEY2
Malcolm Hartley discovered this comet on plates exposed on 1988 February
19 and 22 with the U.K. Schmidt Telescope Unit at Siding Spring. He estimated
the total magnitude as 16.5 on the 19th. He added that the plate exposed on
the 22nd revealed a tail extending 10 arcmin towards the northwest. http://cometography.com/pcomets/110p.html
NASA has approved
the retargeting of the EPOXI mission for a flyby of comet Hartley 2 on Oct.
11, 2010. Hartley 2 was chosen as EPOXI's destination after the initial
target, comet Boethin, could not be found. Scientists theorize comet Boethin
may have broken up into pieces too small for detection. The EPOXI mission melds
two compelling science investigations -- the Extrasolar Planet Observation and
Characterization and the Deep Impact Extended Investigation. Both investigations
will be performed using the Deep Impact spacecraft. In addition to investigating
comet Hartley 2, the spacecraft will point the larger of its two telescopes
at nearby exosolar planetary systems in late January 2008 to observe several
previously discovered planetary systems outside our solar system. It will study
the physical properties of giant planets and search for rings, moons and planets
as small as three Earth masses. It also will look at Earth as though it were
an exosolar planet to provide data that could become the standard for characterizing
these types of planets. "The search for exosolar planetary systems is one of
the most intriguing explorations of our time," said Drake Deming, EPOXI deputy
principal investigator at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md.
"With EPOXI we have the potential to discover new worlds and even analyze the
light they emit to perhaps discover what atmospheres they possess." The mission's
closest approach to the small half-mile-wide comet will be about 620 miles.
The spacecraft will employ the same suite of two science instruments the Deep
Impact spacecraft used during its prime mission to guide an impactor into comet
Tempel 1 in July 2005. If EPOXI's observations of Hartley 2 show it is similar
to one of the other comets that have been observed, this new class of comets
will be defined for the first time. If the comet displays different characteristics,
it would deepen the mystery of cometary diversity.
