Conclusion and long-term future of the North-East Regional 237 Research Framework for the Historic Environment Bibliography Index Foreword The North-East is known throughout the world for Hadrian's Wall, the monasteries at Jarrow and Monkwearmouth, Durham Cathedral, its industrial heritage and much more. Yet besides these jewels there are many thousands of lesser-known archaeological monuments and standing buildings. How much do we really understand about them? What more would we like to know? And how are we going to find out? The intention of this volume, commissioned by English Heritage and Durham County Council, is to stimulate and inform discussion about past and future research into the historic environment of the North-East. This is quite a brief to live up to, especially given that environment as defined here embraces everything from archaeology and artefacts to architecture, from the flint scatters of early prehistory to Cold War early warning systems. But we must set our ideas in order if we are to justify funding for their investigation and future preservation and if we are to be consistent in our judgements. This document builds upon national frameworks such as Exploring Our Past (English Heritage 1991) and its subsequent revisions, many policy documents produced by national and regional societies and interest groups, and regional initiatives such as Archaeology in the North (Clack and Gosling 1976) and Past, Present and Future. The Archaeology of Northern England (Brooks, Daniels and Harding 2002). It is emphatically not an imposed agenda, nor one generated by individuals or parties acting out of self interest, it is an inclusive document debated and discussed by all those with heritage interests from the local region, including local societies, museums, universities, interest groups, contractors and local authorities. All told, over 150 people have been involved in the production of this volume in one way or another, freely providing data and advice over a three year period. At the start, some said we would struggle, given that the region is so large and the number of potential contributors so thinly spread, but that has not been the case, far from it. As we have travelled to meetings all over the region we have seen for ourselves individuals, some new to the region, others veterans in their fields, shake hands for the very first time and begin to talk about what the future might hold. There has been debate, there has been disagreement, but at heart there has also been a real will to create. 'Mass therapy for the heritage sector', one person called it, and at times it has genuinely seemed that way; a brief moment to pause and consider the path ahead. We think of this volume as one milestone along that path, not an end to the project. Investigations into the historic environment are continuing, even as you read these words, and the results they generate will answer some of the questions posed here and raise new ones. Over the next few years we will keep track of progress and review progress on its recommendations. Most of all we hope people will feel motivated by some of the ideas here, put together partnerships and projects, interpret and develop this framework. To encourage this process, there is a pamphlet available which describes the main results of this project in a few pages and there is also a website, found at www.durham.gov.uk/research, which contains a copy of this text. We hope you will be able to find the time to consult them and think about how you would like to explore the region's heritage. Christopher Gerrard (Durham University) David Mason (Durham County Council) Summary The North-East Regional Research Framework for the Historical Environment (NERRF) sets out a vision for the future of research into the archaeology and historic environment of North-East England (Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham and Teesside) over the next five years. The implementation of Planning Policy Guidance Note 16: Archaeology and Planning (PPG16) in 1990 integrated archaeology and heritage conservation into the planning process. This has led to a rapid increase in the volume of fieldwork carried out nationally and locally over the last fifteen years. Concerns have been expressed, however, by both individuals and by organisations, that much of this work lacks research focus. At the same time grant-providing bodies recognise the need to impose some sense of priority on research demands in order to ensure appropriate distribution of what are often limited resources. In response, the NERRF project aims to produce a series of research priorities for the region as a whole which will not only help to provide structure to commercially-driven fieldwork locally but also supply a sense of direction for all strands of on-going research. The framework described here is built on the tripartite structure first proposed by English Heritage in Frameworks of our past (1996). The Research Assessment is an overview of the current state of knowledge for all periods of the human past (Palaeolithic/Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman, early medieval, later medieval, post-medieval, 20th century), in addition to recent scientific and environmental research. Building on this knowledge, the Research Agenda then advances a series of key research questions that should be addressed by those working in archaeology and the historic environment. Finally, the Research Strategy puts forward a range of practical suggestions for the implementation of that agenda. Issues are addressed both chronologically and on a thematic basis. Three distinctive features of this volume merit special comment. First, unlike many of the other regional research frameworks that have already been completed across England, from the outset NERRF was intended to embrace all aspects of the historic environment, including standing architecture and designed landscapes. Second, special efforts were made to include the historic environment of the 20th century, a particularly interesting and visible component of the region's heritage but one which is increasingly threatened. Third, to ensure that the proposals presented in this volume were the product of consensus among all researchers, rather than representing the views of individuals, NERRF consulted as widely as possible with the heritage sector and involved local government curators, academics, commercial units, museum curators, local societies, special interest groups and independent researchers, some of them based outside the region. The result, we hope, is a project which will provide an academically sound foundation for work on the archaeology and historic environment of the North-East of England for at least the next five years, maximising the potential offered by development-driven fieldwork and ensuring the continued generation of high-quality research.

    CONTAINS PULLOUTS Spatial Adjustments in the Teesside Economy, 1851-81. I. Bullock. NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY ---------------------------- 087 12198 3 ---------------------------- A Thesis Submitted to the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of PhD, Department of Geography 1970a ABSTRACT. This study is concerned with spatial change in a reg, - ional economy during a period of industrialization and rapid growth. It focuses on two main issues : the spatial pattl-rn of economic growth, and the locational adjustments induced and required by that process in individual sectors of the economy. Conceptually, therefore, the thesis belongs to the category of economic development studies, but it also makes an empirical contribution to knowledge of Teesside in a cru- cial period of the regionts history. In the first place, it was deemed necessary to estab- lish that economic growth did occur on Teesside between 1851 and 1881. To that end, use was made of a number of indirect indices of economic performance. These included population change, net migration, urbanization and changes in the empl. oyment structure of the region. It was found that these indicators provided evidence of economic growth, and evide- nce that growth was concentrated in and around existing urban centres and in those rural areas which had substantial mineral resources. To facilitate the examination of locational change in individual sectors of the economy - in mining, agriculture, manufacturing and the tertiary industries -, the actual spa- tial patterns were compared with theoretical models based on the several branches of location theory. In general, the models proved to be useful tools for furthering understand- ing of the patterns of economic activity and for predicting the types of change likely to be experienced during industr- ial revolution.

  • A Miscellany of Bastle Houses by Tam Ward
    A Miscellany Of Bastle Houses by Tam Ward. 2017 . Further archaeological work done within the Daer Reservoir, South Lanarkshire PAGE 1 A Miscellany of Clydesdale Bastle Houses. Tam Ward With contribution by Ann Mathieson 2017 Abstract Since 1981 after the discovery that Windgate House near Coulter was a bastle house, search, survey and in some instances excavation, has revealed a series of hitherto unknown such houses in Upper Clydesdale. Research continues on the subject of Scottish bastle houses, and fieldwork, although now scaled down, continues also. This paper presents several sites which have seen less intensive research but are nevertheless important as part of the grouping of bastles and probably bastles in Upper Clydesdale, now part of South Lanarkshire. Introduction The following sites are given in this paper since they have not merited individual reports compared to those places which have been more thoroughly investigated, mainly by excavation and which are given on the BAG website (see references below). This work completes the reporting of sites which are confidently interpreted as bastle houses in Clydesdale, although other possible sites are known, and numerous localities where only historical references are now available, are also suspected as being of the bastle tradition of building and occupation in the 17th century (see Zeune 1992). Sites CARNWATH MILL Tam Ward 2015 By shear chance when visiting the late owner, Mr Tom Alison at Carnwath Mill Farm and on Biggar Museum business, the writer realised that the kitchen he was sitting in, and while having a cup of tea, was in fact part of a bastle house.

It is positioned on the C255 some twelve kilometres east of Hexham and six kilometres to the west of Prudhoe (Map 1). The village is located in Stocksfield with Mickley Ward. Its centre is at National Grid reference NZ 038601. Conservation areas are ‘areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance’.1 They are designated by the local planning authority using local criteria. Conservation areas are about character and appearance, which can derive from many factors including individual buildings, building © Crown Copyright LA100018249 groups and their relationship with open spaces, architectural Map 1: Location of Broomley detailing, materials, views, colours, landscaping and street furniture. Character can also draw on more abstract notions such as sounds, Broomley Conservation Area was designated in April 2002 in local environmental conditions and historical changes.
