Action Plan p59 Appendix: Tavistock Statement of Significance p62 Bibliography p76 Acknowledgement The author is grateful to Alex Mettler and Barry Gamble for their assistance in preparing this strategy. 1 Introduction This strategy sets out a framework and action plan for improving interpretation in Tavistock and for enabling the town to fulfil the requirements of a Key Centre within the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site (WHS). It is intended to complement the Tavistock World Heritage Site Key Centre Learning Strategy (Kell 2013) which concentrates on learning activities and people. Consequently the focus here is primarily on interpretive content and infrastructure rather than personnel. Aims and objectives The brief set by the Tavistock World Heritage Site Key Centre Steering Group was to identify a consistent, integrated approach to presenting the full range of themes arising from the Outstanding Universal Value of WHS Areas 8, 9 and 10 and to respond to the specific recommendations arising from the WHS Interpretation Strategy (WHS 2005). We were asked to: x Address interpretation priorities in the context of the Cornish Mining WHS x Identify and prioritise target audiences x Set out a clearly articulated framework and action plan for the development of interpretation provision in WHS Area 10, including recommendations which address x Product development (i.e.

  • Heritage by Jan Carpenter
    The ‘Lynher’ History. Author: Mr.Jan Carpenter written in the year 2000, all copyrights reserved. Just ahead of the limekiln at Poldrissick, inside a small man-made harbour, the faint impression of a large vessel is just discernible in the river mud, bows to north-west. This fading symbolic epitaph translates as: ‘Here, once lay the bones of the Lynher, a 19th century Tamar sailing barge.’ Although no longer a fixture of the River Lynher, the story of her construction through to abandonment and an unlikely renaissance is worthy of detailing, especially as she is aptly named and her future appears precarious once again. The impression left by the Tamar sailing barge ‘Lynher’ visible at low water in 2000. Courtesy of Mr Charlie Force The Lynher was built at Calstock between 1895 and 1896 on the Devon side of the River Tamar by James Goss and was sold on completion to a Mr Cox, presumably Captain Cox the first skipper, at a build cost of £400. She was over 50 feet in length, 17 feet at her beam and with a draft of just over 5 feet, her displacement was 19 tons, reaching up to 60 tons when fully laden. She was flat bottomed, constructed using massive timbers with an almost impenetrable double skin, enabling her, like other Tamar sailing barges to lay on a stony river bed alongside antiquated quay walls. A large skeg is formed by the hull tucking upward toward the transom, enabling her to hold steady in a following sea, a design feature for her anticipated coasting.

  • Tamar Valley Mining Heritage Project Report
    APPENDIX A Tamar Valley Mining Heritage Project Details of expenditure/commitments on the Tamar Valley Mining Heritage Project compared with the latest budget recently submitted to the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) are attached at Appendix B. Certain elements of the project have evolved and budgets amended accordingly, as the reconfiguration of the project has developed following the sale of Morwellham Quay. Throughout this process there has been close liaison with our funding partners and in particular the HLF. The main changes to the budgets are as follows: Devon Great Consols – the cost of the tip stabilisation work was £15,000 lower than budgeted Morwellham – the provision of £20,000 for the incline plain has been removed due to access difficulties and budget constraints Newquay/Maddacleave – the provision £26,000 for conservation and interpretation works has been removed following the sale of Morwellham Quay Bedford & Russell Fees – the provision for fees relating to the Orientation Building has been increased by £22,000 Staff – an increase of £15,000 has been made to allow for minimum staffing to the end of the project. Professional Fees – an additional £45,000 has been provided to cover legal and land agents fees due to the protracted nature of landowner agreements. Contingency – the provision has been reduced by £18,000 to offset the net increase in budgets and net reduction in grant funding. Grant Funding – Heritage Lottery Funding has been reduced by £26,000 due to the removal of certain budgets from Morwellham and Newquay/Maddacleave following the sale of Morwellham Quay. Additional funding of a net £11,000 is imminent from the Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE) towards the cost of the Orientation Building at Bedford.
