Waverley Borough - Cultural Infrastructure Appendix 1 Waverley Borough - Cultural Infrastructure For a small, mostly rural, borough culture plays an important role in the and social and economic life of the community. In each of the main settlements there are a variety of professionally led and voluntary organisations creating, providing and presenting cultural and creative activities for their communities. These are complemented by the range of commercial businesses with a cultural aspect. In addition there are a number of organisations providing specialist services, networks or facilities across the borough eg the County Council, The Surrey Guild of Craftsmen and the Open studios network. Face to face consultation took place with all these organisations and the description of the organisation/project agreed with them. Organisations marked * have been identified through desk research. GODALMING Godalming Museum Situated at the top of High Street in the oldest Medieval house in Godalming, this 'Friendly Museum by the Pepperpot' was founded by the Town Council in 1921. The Museum transferred to the newly created Waverley Borough Council in 1974 and in 1985 the current Museum Trust was set up. The partnership between the Borough and the Trust remains strong with the Borough directly employing the curator and providing associated services and the Trust raising the funds for running costs, management and operations. The museum has a defined area of collection through its Living Landscape gallery [geology, archaeology and social history], People's Gallery [democratic celebration of over 400 Godalming people nominated by the public] and the Arts and Crafts Gallery with a particular focus on the work of Gertrude Jekyll and Edwin Lutyens which brings in a wider, specialist audience. The core purpose of the museum is to record and preserve the social history and heritage of the locality, everything from Palaeolithic hunter- gatherers to First and Second World War army camps. It celebrates the diverse range of businesses and activities that provided significant employment and social engagement in the town. eg Paine’s and Pitchers’ knitwear, RFD’s barrage balloons and the Sanitary Steam Laundry. The permanent gallery displays are complemented by a series of temporary exhibitions, predominantly by locally based artists and makers. From time to time the trust is able to fundraise for specific 'off site' projects such as the Keeping Memories Alive community oral history and publication project focused on Ockford Ridge and Aarons Hill Lifelong learning is an important strand of the museum's work. School visits are provided and loans boxes and sessions in school are also available. A significant proportion of the museum's collection has been digitised and is available to the public. The largest part of the museum's collection is made up of small two dimensional objects, photographs, letters etc. This is in part a consequence of the subject of the collection but is also dictated to some extent by the nature of the Museum building. 109a High Street is a fascinating building, a heritage object in its own right. Organised over several levels its architecture places a strong constraint on the mode of display and availability of storage. It is likely that in ten year's time there will be no more space for collection storage and management and this possibility requires thinking about in due time. 1 Support of, and partnership with other community based organisations is integral to the museum's ethos and operation and, in addition to holding the archives of a number of local societies, the museum hosts the visitor information point in the town and facilitates community events The trust turnover for the Year 2013/14 was £59,000 - this does not however include the costs of the curator employed by the Brough Council which has a budget book value of £71,800. The Museum has an important group of volunteers without which it would not be able to operate. This group of 75 plus provide some 6,500 hours a year which has a value of £ 59,100. The Museum expects 16,000 visits per annum and 500 plus people engage through off site activity e.g. visits by museum staff and volunteers to schools and community groups. Surrey Guild Surrey Guild of Craftsmen members are selected professional craftsmen and designer makers of contemporary and traditional applied arts. Their work is distinguished by fine craftsmanship and innovative design. The Guild has a shop in the village of Milford, just adjacent to Godalming, which is open daily. It also facilitates links to members own on-line sales through is web site. Sculpt it* Sculpt It is a community art organisation based in Waverley Borough with a commitment to running arts-based activities across the South East region. Specialising in working with adults with special needs and children, we run workshops for the whole community. Sculpt It runs a studio-based programme in the Godalming area and outside community projects with schools, day centres for people with learning disabilities, mental health groups and hospitals including arts days and weeks. The Borough Hall Located in the heart of Godalming, the historic Borough Hall is a spacious venue for public and private events. The large, fully equipped main hall and smaller function room with licensed bar makes it an ideal venue for public meetings, live performances, markets, fairs workshops and children’s parties. The Borough Hall Cinema screens films on regular basis and is popular with family audiences. CRANLEIGH Cranleigh Arts Centre Established over 30 years ago The Arts Centre is based in the Victorian School building in the heart of the village. The building contains a performance auditorium, gallery, studio and meeting room, pottery and cafe/bar facilities. The programme ranges over theatre, music of various genres, comedy, exhibitions, event cinema, film, dance and a wide range of workshops for all ages. A small venue which attracts big names including comedy from Jo Brand and Ross Noble; renowned for Blues music with sell out concerts from Patron Paul Jones with guest appearances recently from Paul Weller and Van Morrison; theatre highlights including award winning play Grounded and regular performances from Farnham Maltings house together with superb children’s theatre and recently 2 introduced event cinema which has brought performances from the National Theatre and the Royal Opera House to the screen in the 200 seat auditorium. There is strong local support for the arts centre. In the recent consultation for the Cranleigh Neighbourhood plan, 77% of responders agreed that it was important for there to be a dedicated centre for public entertainment in the village and 79% agreed that it was important for there to be a facility to enable young people to participate in the arts. Responders were divided evenly between those who defined themselves as users of the centre and those who rarely or never used the centre.1 The building, like many arts centres in similarly re-purposed buildings, faces operational challenges not the least being responsibility for the fabric of the building and ensuring its facilities fit modern expectations. Fundraising to ensure the building is kept as it should be has to take place to ensure that the management can fulfill its obligations to the leaseholder. The centre team is focused on increasing and diversifying its income streams and to manage the challenges presented by decreasing local authority support. Integral to this will be a real focus on building and increasing audiences for the centre's programme and looking to build organisational capacity to enable it to respond to the changing environment and to increase its engagement with the hard to reach and young people. The Centre director has a clear view of where the Arts Centre should be in ten years time "In 10 years we will have a unique and sustainable arts programme that drives social, cultural and artistic vibrancy and puts Cranleigh Arts Centre at the heart of Cranleigh and the surrounding village community for our diverse range of audiences. We will build capacity and create opportunities and be the place where important conversations happen, ensuring that artistic and cultural activity is integrated into the area strategy alongside environmental, social and economic activity, particularly around building and expansion, so that community development has culture at its heart. We will offer not only a central artistic hub but outreach to enhance provision and cultural impact and activity. We will continue to be the catalyst in Cranleigh, and this part of Surrey and Sussex, developing innovative activity such as Festivals which will ensure the vibrancy of Cranleigh and ensure that creativity and culture has its place in the economic development of the area. We will be in a position to contribute and to be a partner of NHS England and a provider of arts for health and wellbeing." The relationship between the Arts Centre and the Borough is through the mechanism of a Service Level Agreement. The organisation is run by a small staff supplemented by a group of 100 volunteers without which it could not operate. Turnover in 2014/15 was £ 213,300 and volunteers contributes some 7700 hours with a value of £61,600 The Brooking National Collection* The Brooking National Collection is a collection of architectural detail exemplifying architectural history of Britain, By preserving the physical detail of the UK’s built environment down to the smallest detail, it gives insights into everything from the craft of the artisan to the social layering of British society. For decades it has been used as a teaching resource by conservation professionals, universities, schools, 1 source http://cranleighnhp.org/ Survey 2 results 3 architects and their students, designers, crafts apprentices and private individuals. Part of the collection was selected to be shown at the 14th International Architecture Biennial in Venice.

Charter Quay, Kingston ... excavations and other archaeological w o r k 1 9 9 8 - 9 Introduction Redevelopment of a 1.65 ha site in Kingston provided a rare opportunity for large- scale excavations by Wessex Archaeology within the core of the medieval town, funded by St George West London Ltd. Earlier fieldwork between 1988 and 1990 both north and south of the Hogsmill River had revealed several medieval waterfront revetments, and a c 0.55 ha excavation south of Emms Passage between the High Street and the Thames waterfront provided evidence of industrial, commercial and domestic activity, and phases of flooding and reclamation. More recent excavations in late 1998 examined a large area south of the Hogsmill River (Trenches 1 and 2) with limited trial work north of it. After Emms Passage was closed, two further areas were investigated in January 1999 immediately adjacent to Trenches 1 and 2, and a watching brief was undertaken during the basementing for a car park south of the Hogsmill River. The latest excavations from March to June 1999 were restricted to land north of the Hogsmill River and began with two more trial trenches and a small excavation undertaken during demolition.

Strategy for the Historic Industrial Environment The Brewing Industry A report by the Brewery History Society for English Heritage February 2010 Text by Lynn Pearson Brewery History Society, 102 Ayelands, New Ash Green, Longfield, Kent DA3 8JW www.breweryhistory.com Foreword The Brewery History Society (BHS) was founded in 1972 to promote research into all aspects of the brewing industry, to encourage the interchange of information about breweries and brewing, and to collect photographic and other archive information about brewery history. The Society publishes a Newsletter and a quarterly journal Brewery History, which first appeared in 1972. It has also published a national directory and a series of county-wide surveys of historic breweries; the Society’s archive is held by Birmingham Central Library. Further details of BHS activities may be found at <http://www.breweryhistory.com>. The ongoing threat to the historic fabric of the English brewing industry was discussed at the conference From Grain to Glass, organised jointly by English Heritage (EH), the BHS and the Association for Industrial Archaeology (AIA), which took place at Swindon on 13 June 2003; the joint BHS and Victorian Society study day From Hop to Hostelry: the brewing and licensed trades 1837 -1914 (Young’s Ram Brewery, Wandsworth, 25 February 2006); and during the AIA Ironbridge Working Weekend (Coalbrookdale, 29 April 2006).
