Efforts to conserve our heritage are sometimes accused of just throwing a spanner into the works. So on May 14th Alnwick Civic Society has arranged a discussion to explore how the planning system can best protect our heritage. All are welcome. St James Church. Doors open 7:00 for 7:30 start.

Tomorrow evening I'll be up in Alnwick representing The Georgian Group in a public panel alongside representatives from The Victorian Society and The CBA.

You should come along if you're in the area!

Lovely blue skies over what is probably Manchester's oldest surviving textiles mill. Medlock Mill started spinning cotton in 1794 but today stands disused and derelict under threat of major demolition works.

We are disheartened by the government's refusal to list Medlock Mill, an early Manchester cotton mill, despite Historic England's advice. This decision endangers an important piece of industrial heritage.

A monograph with my name on! 🤯 - Results of a project at Swinnow Park, Wetherby that I worked on between 2021 and 2022

Safe to say I'm pretty chuffed.
