  • Industrial Heritage, Tourism and Old Industrial Buildings: Charting the Difficult Path from Redundancy to Heritage Attraction
    RESEARCH Cutting Edge 1997 Industrial heritage, tourism and old industrial buildings: charting the difficult path from redundancy to heritage attraction Rick Ball, Staffordshire University ISBN 0-85406-864-3 INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE, TOURISM AND OLD INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS: CHARTING THE DIFFICULT PATH FROM REDUNDANCY TO HERITAGE ATTRACTION Dr. Rick Ball Division of Geography Staffordshire University Leek Road Stoke-on-Trent ST4 2DF UK Abstract This exploratory paper considers the processes, problems and constraints involved in the transition of old industrial buildings, often those prone to vacancy, into heritage and tourism- linked uses. It discusses the heritage-property nexus with regard to industrial buildings, and builds an empirical picture of such relationships in a specific local property arena. The discussion is partly based on research projects completed in a number of localities within the British West Midlands. In particular, it draws on work on the evaluation of European Commission Community Initiatives in the West Midlands that have targetted tourism development, as well as on EPSRC funded research focused on vacant industrial buildings in Stoke-on-Trent. As such, in scene-setting style, a structure is developed for the evaluation of heritage-property links with the emphasis on the small number of specific local projects that have at least partly sought to bring buildings back into use with some, perhaps extensive, degree of heritage activity in mind. 1. Heritage and the property domain - some introductory comments The background to this paper is the apparent reassertion of industrial heritage as a flavour of tourism in the late 1990s (Goodall, 1996), a process pursued with vigour in the quest for the renaissance of the urban industrial economy (see Ball and Stobart, 1996).

    PLEASE Clubhouse Network TAKE ONE Newsletter THEY’RE FREE Hello everyone, this is the twenty-first edition of the Clubhouse Network Newsletter made by volunteers and customers of the Clubhouse Community. Thanks to everyone who made contributions to this issue. We welcome any articles or ideas from Clubhouse customers. Chinese New Year celebrations took place at the City Museum and Art Gallery on 10th February. Members went along and joined in the fun. Things to enjoy included the dancing Chinese dragon, fire- crackers, traditional music, and a children’s theatre. Dragons are of course legendary animals, but they are important to Chinese people who think of dragons as helpful, friendly creatures. They are linked to good luck, long life and wisdom. The Dragon in the dance has features of other animals such as the horns of a stag, the scales of a fish Music, craft and mask making were being and the footpads of a tiger. demonstrated by talented artisans and musicians. Have fun with this Sudoku Puzzle! 2 Recovery Assistance Dogs This month Sasha talks about her life as Vicky’s assistance dog: I am Sasha and I am a Jack Russell cross and I am nine years old. I help my owner Vicky with getting out of our home. When we are together I help my owner to not panic going out to Clubhouse or mixing with people. My owner struggles with depression and anxiety and when together I help keep her calm. I’ll soon have passed my Level 1 ‘paw test’ so I can go to many more places.

  • Companies Referred to in the Ceramic and Allied Trades Union Collection
    Companies referred to in the Ceramic and Allied Trades Union Collection Note - The following is a list of the companies which can be clearly identified in the CATU archive without any risk of confusion, the evidence coming from headed letter paper or something equally unassailable. This list is for information only. We can not retrieve documents from the collection from this list as the documents are spread throughout the collection in different files and have not been indexed. Many documents in the archive are much less clear cut (hand written notes, surveys etc) and it is not always easy to identify precisely which company is being referred to. One frequent potential source of confusion is that potbanks often had their own names, and these may sometimes look like company names. In practice, potbanks could change hands or be divided between more than one company. List of Companies in alphabetical order A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P R S T V W A Wm.

Reasons & Purpose for the Visit Healthwatch Stoke-on-Trent, in partnership with the City Council, has introduced a Dignity and Respect Charter which applies to every resident receiving care. Our visit is to assess how this is perceived by both residents and staff; The recent change in use from residential to nursing care within the Wedgwood Unit has prompted a visit so that we may meet residents and staff working here. Overview of the Wedgwood Unit The Wedgwood Unit has recently changed use and now provides beds and short stay care for residents no longer requiring a bed at the acute hospital (University Hospital of North Midlands). It is anticipated that residents here will stay for periods of between 4 and 8 weeks during which time they will undergo physiotherapy and other services to ensure they are able to go home at the end of the stay. A Quality Assurance Team based at the UHNM monitors the service to ensure that any issues relating to admission and transfer arrangements are shared and resolved. There is careful monitoring of all activity including readmissions.
