Silverdale List of Local Heritage Assets Draft Nominations May 2016
1. Introduction Lancaster District’s Heritage Lancaster District has over 1,300 listed buildings that are recognised for their national historic and architectural importance. In addition to this, there are many other buildings and structures that contribute to the local character of the area. Lancaster City Council recognises the value of creating a list of local heritage assets because there are many buildings, structures and sites that contribute to the area’s unique history and character. University of Cumbria - Bowerham Barracks What is a Local Heritage Asset?
A Local Heritage Asset is a building, structure or designed landscape which has a degree of architectural or historic significance which does not meet the national criteria for designation as a listed building, scheduled monument or registered park and garden, but still merits consideration in planning decisions due to its interest.
Ridgeway Park in Silverdale Purpose of a Local List
Lancaster City Council’s list of local heritage assets provides an opportunity for a community and a local authority to jointly identify heritage assets which are distinctive to the local historic environment and community. The local list can also inform owners, developers and officers of the Council on important characteristics that are desirable to protect and retain.
The designation of a building or structure as a local heritage asset does not introduce any additional Main Street in Warton controls, but will better inform planning decisions.
2 2. Silverdale History
In the 11th century, it is believed Silverdale was part of a large estate held by the Earl of Northumberland, brother to the last Anglo-Saxon King of England – King Harold. During the medieval period, Silverdale became part of the Barony of Kendal and by the 16th century it became a manor in its own right. Due to the ancient system of open fields or ‘common fields’ in England, the historic settlement plan of Silverdale is characterised by dispersed enclosed isolated farmsteads for pastoral farming.
As agriculture became more capital intensive in the post-medieval period, many of the previously landless peasant labourers and farmers were able to build cottages and farmhouses with associated barns. Silverdale’s village became populated with many late 17th and 18th century traditional farmhouse and barns.
In 1857 the railway arrived at Silverdale village, as part of the Ulverston and Lancaster railway. This led to an increase in trade and visitors, but also the increase in population as Lancashire industrialists lived in Silverdale as a rural retreat. In the Victorian period, novelist Elizabeth Gaskell regularly visited Silverdale. The historic dispersed agricultural settlement plan has been infilled by late 19th and 20th century buildings to accommodate the growth in rural living. Many of the Victorian and Edwardian large houses are characterised by architectural revival styles. In 1972 Arnside and Silverdale were designated an Area of Outstanding National Beauty to protect and conserve its distinctive natural landscape.
