“Counting Our Heritage” – an Example of How Local Authorities Can Use Volunteers “Counting our heritage” – an example of how local authorities can use volunteers Richard Tuffrey How do we assess the condition of our heritage assets? • In the order of 500,000 listed buildings in England (Historic England) • Of these, approximately 92% (460,000) are listed as Grade II (Historic England) • From 2006-2017, number of specialist heritage staff employed in local government declined from approx. 800 FTE to 500 FTE – a fall of approx. 38% (IHBC) Counting our heritage • One of 19 pilot schemes arranged by English Heritage in 2013 • Objective to test the practicality of working with non- professional volunteers to carry out a survey of all Grade II listed buildings • Project ran across the whole of High Peak and Staffordshire Moorlands (outside the National Park) Counting our heritage The process Remember: • Volunteers are acting as agents of the Council and so the same duty of care applies to both them and the public: o Act in professional manner o Health and safety • Owners of properties can be understandably suspicious: o Why is the Council undertaking the survey? o Why are volunteers being used? How: • Advertised the survey in the local press and contacted known sources of potential volunteers • Alert owners that the survey is taking place • Appoint suitably experienced consultant to act as Project Managers • Issue volunteers with: • Identifying lanyard • Letter of introduction from the Council and a point of contact back in the office • Hi vis jacket • Series of training events held: o Introduction to the project and why it is being undertaken o Introduction to ‘heritage assets’ and ‘assets at risk’ o Covered all relevant aspects of health and safety o Limitations of access for reasons of insurance cover o What to do if challenged o Volunteers allowed to choose an area to focus on o Practical example • Fieldwork o Issued with lots of 10 properties at a time o Encouraged to record everything digitally and email responses o Project team moderated results to ensure consistency between Volunteers 2 COUNTING OUR HERITAGE 1 COUNTING OUR HERITAGE 4.

WARWICKSHIRE, AND HEREFORD AND WORCESTER COMMISSION'S FINAL REPORT AND PROPOSALS INTRODUCTION 1. On 26 July 1985 we wrote to Staffordshire County Council announcing our intention to undertake a review of the County under Section 48(1) of the Local Government Act 1972. Copies of our letter were sent to all the principal local authorities and parishes in Staffordshire, and in the adjoining counties of Cheshire, Derbyshire, West Midlands, Shropshire, Warwickshire, Hereford and Worcester and Leicestershire; to the National and County Associations of Local Councils; to the Members of Parliament with constituency interests and to the headquarters of the main political parties. In addition copies were sent to those government departments with an interest; regional health authorities; public utilities in the area; the English Tourist Board; the editors of the Municipal Journal and Local Government Chronicle; and to local television and radio stations serving the area. 2. The County Councils were requested to co-operate as necessary with each other, and with the District Councils concerned, to assist us in publicising the start of the review, by inserting a notice for two successive weeks in local newspapers so as to give a wide coverage in the areas concerned.

  • Seismic Studies on the Derbyshire Dome D
    SEISMIC STUDIES ON THE DERBYSHIRE DOME DAVID EDWARD ROGERS A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Earth Sciences The University Leeds LS2 9JT February 1983 PhD Thesis February1983 SEISMIC STUDIES ON THE DERBYSHIRE DOME D. E. ROGERS Dept Earth Sciences ABSTRACT The Derbyshire Dome is thought to have been a stable uplifted area since at least Lower Carboniferous times. This project is principally concerned with four 30km seismic refraction lines which crossed the limestone outcrop of Derbyshire and N. Staffordshire in order to investigate the Dome's upper crustal structure, using quarry blasts as seismic sources. A time-term analysis of refracted arrival data defined basement structure more complicated than implied by the surface geology. The interpretation of these data was complicated by high (5.6-5.8km/s) velocity refractions from dolomitic horizons within the limestone sequence; the mean overburden velocity was determined to be about 5.2 km/s. The Dome could be divided into two pre-Carboniferous geological units separated approx- imately by the line of the NNW trending Bonsall Fault. To the north a broadly domal refractor of velocity 5.5-5.55km/s was mapped, and thought to correlate with both the shallow pre- Carboniferous volcanics encountered by the Woo Dale borehole and"the Ordovician shales encountered by the Eyam borehole below 1.8km of limestone. This refractor accordingly deepens beneath the Carboniferous sedimentary basins flanking the Dome. To the south of the Bonsall Fault zone, the Carbonifer- ous was found to be underlain by a refractor of velocity 5.63-5.7km/s, thought to be of Precambrian material similar to the rocks of Charnwood Forest, Leicestershire, some 40km south.
