  • Local Heritage List
    Enfield Local Heritage List May 2018 www.enfield.gov.uk Enfield Borough’s Local Heritage List Introduction The following introduction describes the purpose of the Local Heritage List, how it has been prepared and its place in the planning process. Local listing is a means for a community and a local authority to jointly identify heritage assets that are valued as distinctive elements of the local historic environment. Local heritage assets are defined as buildings, structures and sites which have special local interest, but which are not included in the national list of buildings of special architectural or historic interest, or in the national register of historic parks and gardens. The list provides clarity on the location of the asset, and its special qualities, ensuring that strategic local planning properly takes account of the desirability of their conservation. Inclusion on the list means that the conservation as a heritage asset is a material consideration when deciding on planning applications. The previous Local List was prepared in 1974 and had been added to over the years. Enfield Council in partnership with the Enfield Society and local communities has reviewed the Local List for the Borough. The list has been developed in accordance with Historic England best practice guidance. A Local Heritage Review Board, convened from stakeholders across the project (including The Enfield Society, Enfield Conservation Advisory Group, Local History Officers, Historic England and a Volunteers representative) evaluated the survey data collected by the volunteers for compliance with the agreed selection criteria. Public consultation on the draft list took place between September and November 2016 and the new list was approved by Cabinet in September 2017.

They are intended to give one an idea of the kind of entertainment to be found within.” STUDENT of the ancient and peculiarly interesting Art of Heraldry can hardly fail, at an early period in his researches, to be struck with the idea that some connection obviously exists between the various “charges,” “crests,” “badges,” and “sup- porters ” with which he is familiar, and the curious designs now to be seen upon the sign-boards of many of our roadside inns, and which were formerly displayed by most other houses of business. On first noticing this relationship when commencing the study of Heraldry, somewhere about the year 1879, it occurred to me that the subject was well worth following up. It seemed to me that much interesting information would probably be brought to light by a careful examination of the numerous signs of my native county of Essex. Still more desirable did this appear when, after careful inquiry, I found that (so systematic far as I was able to discover) no more than three treatises upon the subject had ever been published.

  • King Street (East) Conservation Area Draft Character Profile
    KING STREET (EAST) CONSERVATION AREA DRAFT CHARACTER PROFILE URBAN DESIGN AND CONSERVATION TEAM FORWARD The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham is fortunate to have 44 conservation areas covering almost half of the Borough. These have been designated in recognition of the importance of the architectural and historic interest of our Borough. As Deputy for Environment, Transport and Residents Services, I am committed to the preservation and enhancement of these areas with the help of residents and local groups, so that they continue to enhance the quality of life in the Borough and so that they survive as good examples of our heritage for future generations. This Character Profile describes the special character of the King Street (East) Conservation Area, identifying interesting historical facts, identifying notable structures, the special importance of its townscape value, and showing how buildings, open spaces and the public realm can work together to create an environment worthy of protection. I would like to thank all local groups and individuals who have helped to prepare this profile. Through the consultation process the documents have evolved to represent not only Officers’ assessment of the conservation area, but those of the local amenity societies and residents’ groups active in the area. I hope these profiles will now provide extra assistance in the stewardship and preservation of what is best in the Borough.

  • A Report on the 2016 Christmas Period
    A Report on the 2016 Christmas Period A report examining the impact of the 2016 Hammersmith Christmas programme on the town centre #digichristmas hammersmithlondon.co.uk Introduction 3 Hammersmith Movie Hub 4 Virtual Reality Cabin 7 Social Media Stats 9 Business Feedback 10 Christmas Lights 11 Visitors to Hammersmith 12 Supporting Local Charities 13 Conclusion 14 2 Introduction As 2016 was the irst Christmas following a successful renewal ballot we wanted to move away from our traditional programme and try something new. Adopting a strong digital focus we aimed to showcase new technologies and boost online engagement by delivering an interactive and innovative programme of events. As a result, we trialled different projects, such as a pop-up cinema and a virtual reality cabin, with new partners to ascertain whether there was an appetite for these types of events To do this we deviated from our familiar festive programme, excluding popular initiatives such as Christmas wrapping, but created a unique festive line-up that aimed to promote the town centre as a key shopping destination, increase footfall and provide a fun atmosphere. In this report we have evaluated our programme via our own feedback and analysed this against the behaviour of the town centre during the festive trading period in December 2016. Christmas Programme of Events For 2016 we devised a line-up that would encourage people to come into Hammersmith for an experience, something memorable that would not only complement a shopping trip but give them something to talk about.
