Painting by Ron Berryman.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong> Ron Berryman writes in this issue about<\/strong> <strong>a founding member of the Richmond Society. Isador Caplan<\/strong> lived on Richmond Hill and chaired the Society\u2019s Architectural subcommittee; he was also the Richmond Parish Land Charity\u2019s first chairman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On learning that the then owner of what is now The Petersham Hotel was proposing to replace it with an 18-storey point block tower, Isador Caplan set up the Richmond Hill Committee, which became an amenity group within the Richmond Society, with the actor John Mills as president. It opposed the hotel\u2019s plans, which were later withdrawn. It also scrutinised, and had some success in modifying, proposals for development of other hotels on Richmond Hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ron says &#8220;Isador Caplan\u2019s &#8230; legacy relies largely on a struggle to limit, due to commercial expansion, the consequential loss of green open space on Richmond Hill. In a last committee agenda, he imparts the adage &#8216;the price of amenity is eternal vigilance&#8217;. There is so much to admire him for.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.richmondhistory.org.uk\/wordpress\/home\/2020-journal-front-cover\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5898\"><img
