district’s historic environment will face a number of challenges, as well as great opportunities. The Local Plan seeks to promote opportunities for housing and economic growth and deliver the infrastructure necessary to achieve sustainable development. Our heritage has a central role to play in delivering these aspirations, helping to raise the standard of living, promote the district as a visitor destination and as a place to do business. This Strategy shows the role the district has played in our national story. It is crucial that historic environment considerations are at the heart of regeneration, development and management decisions. We must celebrate the district’s unique identity and character, capitalise on its rich heritage and develop the district for the benefit of generations to come. Councillor Janice Hanson Portfolio Holder for Regeneration and Planning 3 Introduction Lancaster district has an extraordinarily rich and varied historic environment. The heritage assets within the area have all played a major role in helping to shape the district’s distinctive identity and character. They also provide a unique opportunity for place-making and guiding and stimulating regeneration. Due to the inherent richness of the historic environment, many of these qualities will likely continue to contribute to the district’s ‘sense of place’, whether this be consciously and planned or fortuitously. However, it is considered that a Heritage Strategy for the district is essential to ensure that heritage plays a clear role in shaping regeneration, development and management decisions. It is crucial that the historic environment is not overlooked, and this strategy sets out ways in which the value of the district’s heritage can be maximised and how it can directly shape the environmental, economic and social future of the district. The strategy looks at these opportunities, as well as the vulnerabilities faced by the historic environment. This has resulted in a list of recommendations which it is hoped will ensure that decisions affecting heritage are based on a clear understanding of the place, its significance and its values. The findings will inform the evolving evidence base for the Local Plan but also form the basis for prioritising the work of the council’s Conservation Team. This strategy does provide a snapshot in time, and it is intended that the document will be up-dated on a five-yearly basis. The Council set out a series of strategic policies, in its Strategic Policies and Land Allocations DPD (Feb 2018), to deliver the conservation and enhancement of the historic environment. The recommendations at the end of document are looked at in terms of how they help deliver these objectives: Conserving and enhancing the district’s heritage assets and their settings in a manner appropriate to their significance, so that they can continue to be enjoyed by this and future generations; Recognising the historic environment’s potential for investment and ensuring that it informs regeneration projects in order to secure better outcomes for sustainable growth; Respecting the character and local distinctiveness of places, buildings and landscapes through careful design and siting of development, and encouraging new development to make a positive contribution, in order to retain the district’s unique character and identity; and Realising the tourism and visitor potential and economic benefits of the district’s historic environment, and ensuring that engagement with and access to it are increased. The Strategy begins by looking at the development of the district chronologically, before looking at the legislation and policy contact and the role of

  • The First 40 Years
    A HISTORY OF LANCASTER CIVIC SOCIETY THE FIRST 40 YEARS 1967 – 2007 By Malcolm B Taylor 2009 Serialization – part 7 Territorial Boundaries This may seem a superfluous title for an eponymous society, so a few words of explanation are thought necessary. The Society’s sometime reluctance to expand its interests beyond the city boundary has not prevented a more elastic approach when the situation demands it. Indeed it is not true that the Society has never been prepared to look beyond the City boundary. As early as 1971 the committee expressed a wish that the Society might be a pivotal player in the formation of amenity bodies in the surrounding districts. It was resolved to ask Sir Frank Pearson to address the Society on the issue, although there is no record that he did so. When the Society was formed, and, even before that for its predecessor, there would have been no reason to doubt that the then City boundary would also be the Society’s boundary. It was to be an urban society with urban values about an urban environment. However, such an obvious logic cannot entirely define the part of the city which over the years has dominated the Society’s attentions. This, in simple terms might be described as the city’s historic centre – comprising largely the present Conservation Areas. But the boundaries of this area must be more fluid than a simple local government boundary or the Civic Amenities Act. We may perhaps start to come to terms with definitions by mentioning some buildings of great importance to Lancaster both visually and strategically which have largely escaped the Society’s attentions.

  • The Story of a Man Called Daltone
    - The Story of a Man called Daltone - “A semi-fictional tale about my Dalton family, with history and some true facts told; or what may have been” This story starts out as a fictional piece that tries to tell about the beginnings of my Dalton family. We can never know how far back in time this Dalton line started, but I have started this when the Celtic tribes inhabited Britain many yeas ago. Later on in the narrative, you will read factual information I and other Dalton researchers have found and published with much embellishment. There also is a lot of old English history that I have copied that are in the public domain. From this fictional tale we continue down to a man by the name of le Sieur de Dalton, who is my first documented ancestor, then there is a short history about each successive descendant of my Dalton direct line, with others, down to myself, Garth Rodney Dalton; (my birth name) Most of this later material was copied from my research of my Dalton roots. If you like to read about early British history; Celtic, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Knight's, Kings, English, American and family history, then this is the book for you! Some of you will say i am full of it but remember this, “What may have been!” Give it up you knaves! Researched, complied, formated, indexed, wrote, edited, copied, copy-written, misspelled and filed by Rodney G. Dalton in the comfort of his easy chair at 1111 N – 2000 W Farr West, Utah in the United States of America in the Twenty First-Century A.D.

  • Log of Hornby School 1900-87
    Hornby School Log-Books 1900-94 The following are extracts from the school log books of Hornby, Lancs., between 1900 and 1994. They are a selection of the most interesting entries over those years. The log books were written by the Headteacher and there are four of them covering this period. The original log books are kept at the school. I am very grateful to Mr.B.G.Wood, Headteacher 1983-94, for allowing me to borrow and make extracts from them. 1900 19th November The Thermometer at 9 o'clock this morning registered only 42 degrees. Fire was lighted at 7 but during the night there had been a very severe frost. Florence Goth who has been suffering for the last few day from earache was not able to attend to her duties. The New Time Table as approved by J.G.IIes HMI was brought into use this morning. 20th November There are still 15 children absent from School on account of Whooping Cough. 26th November Florence Goth has not yet returned to her duties, and it is now known that earache referred to on the opposite page is more correctly described as Mumps. This morning I find several cases of Mumps in the School, and some are absent on that account. Jane Smith is also beginning in the Mumps and ought not to be among the children. She will report herself to Mr Kay at the Central Classes this afternoon. Dr Bone the Medical Officer of Health recommends the closing of the School again indefinitely to stamp out the Mumps and the Whooping Cough.
