  • Commerce and Exchange Buildings Listing Selection Guide Summary

    Commerce and Exchange Buildings Listing Selection Guide Summary

    Commerce and Exchange Buildings Listing Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s twenty listing selection guides help to define which historic buildings are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation and be included on the National Heritage List for England. Listing has been in place since 1947 and operates under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. If a building is felt to meet the necessary standards, it is added to the List. This decision is taken by the Government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). These selection guides were originally produced by English Heritage in 2011: slightly revised versions are now being published by its successor body, Historic England. The DCMS‘ Principles of Selection for Listing Buildings set out the over-arching criteria of special architectural or historic interest required for listing and the guides provide more detail of relevant considerations for determining such interest for particular building types. See https:// www.gov.uk/government/publications/principles-of-selection-for-listing-buildings. Each guide falls into two halves. The first defines the types of structures included in it, before going on to give a brisk overview of their characteristics and how these developed through time, with notice of the main architects and representative examples of buildings. The second half of the guide sets out the particular tests in terms of its architectural or historic interest a building has to meet if it is to be listed. A select bibliography gives suggestions for further reading. This guide treats commercial buildings. These range from small local shops to huge department stores, from corner pubs to Victorian ‘gin palaces’, from simple sets of chambers to huge speculative office blocks.

Each department has its own character and the School seeks to retain this whilst building on our interdisciplinary strengths. The Global Development Institute (GDI) is a culmination of an impressive history of development studies at The University of Manchester which has spanned more than 60 years and unites the strengths of the Institute for Development and Policy Management (IDPM) and the Brooks World Poverty Institute. IDPM was established in 1958 and became the UK’s largest University-based International Development Studies centre, with over thirty Manchester-based academic and associated staff. Its objective is to promote social and economic development, particularly within lower-income countries and for disadvantaged groups, by enhancing the capabilities of individuals and organisations through education, training, consultancy, research and policy analysis. To build on this tradition, the University created in SEED the Brooks World Poverty Institute, a multidisciplinary centre of excellence researching poverty, poverty reduction, inequality and growth.
  • UCI Track Cycling Nations Cup Newport – 22 - 25 April 2021

    UCI Track Cycling Nations Cup Newport – 22 - 25 April 2021

    Round # 1 – UCI Track Cycling Nations Cup Newport – 22 - 25 April 2021 GENERAL INFORMATION Newport is a vibrant, multi-cultural city steeped in a rich industrial heritage, where traditional industries sit alongside new electronics and financial service sectors. At the gateway of Wales, surrounded by stunning scenery and a growing international profile Newport may surprise you. Newport’s history dates back to a Celtic settlement 2000 years ago and the city's location at the mouth of the River Usk has attracted visitors for centuries. Caerleon, just a few miles from Newport, was also the site of a fortress of the 2nd (Augustan) Roman legion from the first century AD. The Normans settled in Newport and built a castle beside the river Usk in the 14th century, the remains of which you can see today. The discovery of the remains of a sea-going vessel in 2002 gives evidence of Newport as a centre of industry and trade in the medieval period. During the 19th century industrial revolution Newport expanded rapidly from a small seaport town to one of the most important places in the country for coal export and steel production and the town became known for its accessible modern docks. Newport is also home to the Newport Transporter Bridge, one of around 10 that remain is use throughout the world and one of only two operational transporter bridges in the UK. Global leaders in technology, manufacturing, distribution, financial services and public sector organisations are attracted to the city’s superb location. Over 2.69 million people visit the city annually and events are a key part of Newport having successfully delivered large global events including the Ryder Cup in 2010 and NATO summit in 2014.
  • From Coal Mining to Gold Medals

    From Coal Mining to Gold Medals

    From coal mining to gold medals The area around Philips Park has a rich industrial heritage. Former industries include coal mining, cotton mills, engineering works, coking works, power production and chemicals. Famous local industries include Bradford Colliery: coal had been mined in the area since Tudor times, and Bradford coal was used to power the very first cotton mills in Manchester. Deep mine shafts were sunk in the nineteenth century, and in the early twentieth century there was a conveyor belt that took coal to the nearby power station. Bradford Colliery finally closed in 1968. Johnson and Nephew's wire works was similarly famous, supplying wire for the first transatlantic cables and many other products exported all over the world. By the 1980s, most of these traditional industries had closed and the surrounding area was largely derelict with many social problems. East Manchester has been massively transformed and work is continuing by the work of New East Manchester and the development of SportCity. In 2002, East Manchester was the focus of the XVII Commonwealth Games, which brought a wealth of new development to the area, including: • The City of Manchester Stadium • The National Cycling Centre (Manchester Velodrome) • The English Institute of Sport • National Squash Centre • Regional Athletics Arena • Indoor Tennis Centre • For information about SportCity, please visit the SportCity Visitor Centre or check out the website at www.sportcity-manchester.com Medlock Valley Information - Industry Page 1 of 1 .
