But too many of them are suffering from neglect, decay and pressure from development. Heritage at Risk is a national project to identify these endangered places and then help secure their future. In 2008 English Heritage published its first register of Heritage at Risk – a region-by-region list of all the Grade I and II* listed buildings (and Grade II listed buildings in London), structural scheduled monuments, registered battlefields and protected wreck sites in England known to be ‘at risk’.

    Bridgewater Canal Conservation Area, Leigh

    Bridgewater Canal Conservation Area Appraisal June 2012 Conservation Area Appraisals The Council has prepared character appraisals for most of the Borough’s conservation areas. They provide a useful record of the particular architectural or historical characteristics of each conservation area, identify the buildings which are most important from a heritage point of view and are helpful guidance in determining planning applications which may affect the character of the area. They are also useful in recording change that has happened over time and for making alterations that may be necessary to the boundaries of the conservation area. The preparation of each character appraisal follows a similar format and all are subject to public consultation before being adopted by the Council. Comments are invited on this draft appraisal. They should be sent to [email protected] or by post to Planning Policy, Places Directorate, Wigan Council, PO Box 100, Wigan WN1 3DS by 5pm on Wednesday 11th July 2012. There is also an exhibition and drop in session at Leigh Library on 27th June and 2nd July 2012 from 2pm – 7pm.

  • Degraded and Restored Landscapes

    Degraded and Restored Landscapes

    AREA 5.E BICKERSHAW Description The Bickershaw area consists of the former Bickershaw Colliery workings to the west of West Leigh and to the north of Plank Lane. It comprises heavily disturbed land including subsidence flashes, flooded streams, exposed nonvegetated colliery spoil heaps, partially restored and re-graded land, together with reclaimed land potentially for agricultural use to the north and associated plantation woodland. Together they form one of the largest reclamation areas in Wigan and have been designated as a park and golf course. Photo. 103 New Park, Tamer Lane End. The resulting landscape is on a very large-scale with currently unreclaimed land exhibiting such features as colliery wash-out basins and steeply battered tip slopes. Trees and hedgerows are generally absent. A rudimentary footpath system crosses the area from north to south, together with evidence of former railway and tramways. The area also includes a serpentine like water feature, known as Fir Tree Flash, between re- graded spoil heaps. This forms a highly attractive feature within what is essentially a young and developing landscape Character Type 5 – Degraded and Wigan Council LCA Restored Landscapes 247 Key Characteristics: • Very large-scale landscape • Landscape in various stages of reclamation: o Unreclaimed colliery spoil tips devoid of vegetation o Partially re-graded and reclaimed land o Fully reclaimed land to agriculture and woodland o Introduction of footpath system • Flashes and areas of open water Character Type 5 – Degraded and Wigan Council LCA Restored Landscapes 248 Character Type 5 – Degraded and Wigan Council LCA Restored Landscapes 249 Cultural History Mineshafts at Bickershaw were sunk in the 1830s by Turner Ackers Co.
