The funding provides an opportunity to bring much needed investment to conserve and enhance two important listed cemeteries, providing a resource and opportunities for visitors and residents alike to visit, enjoy and get involved with. The project will deliver the following (full details are set out in the Design Specification): Full 10-year management and maintenance plans for both cemeteries Interpretation plan Capital works - Warstone Lane cemetery Reinstatement of the historical boundary railings (removed in the 1950s), stone piers and entrance gates on all road frontages; Resurfacing pathways to improve access; Renovation of the catacomb stonework and installation of a safety balustrade; Creation of a new Garden of Memory and Reflection in the form of a paved seating area reinterpreting the footprint of the former (now demolished) chapel; General tree and vegetation management.

ABSTRACT Founded in 1851, the Stourbridge School of Art offered instruction in drawing, art and design to students engaged in industries, especially glass. Using social history methodology and primary sources such as Government reports, local newspapers and school records, this thesis explores the school’s development from 1850 to 1905 and explicates its relationships with the local glass industry. Within the context of political, economic, social and cultural forces, the school contributed to the town’s civic culture and was supported by gentry, clergy and industrialists. The governing Council held public meetings and art exhibitions and dealt with management issues. Working class men attended evening classes. Women from wealthy families attended morning classes.

  • Restoring the Chamberlains' Highbury
    Restoring The Chamberlains’ Highbury Contents Foreword 5 Restoring The Chamberlains’ Highbury 6-9 The Highbury Restoration Project 10-13 Historic Timelime 14-15 The Chamberlains 16-17 The Future 20-21 Further reading & Acknowledgements 22 Restoring The Chamberlains’ Highbury 3 Foreword Joseph Chamberlain (1836-1914), businessman, social reformer and controversial politician and imperialist, had an early involvement in civic leadership. He was elected mayor of Birmingham in 1873. His pioneering efforts in educational reform, slum clearance, improved housing, and municipalisation of public utilities led to Birmingham being described as the ‘best governed city in the world’ (The Harpers Monthly 1890). The house called ‘Highbury’ and its surrounding 30 acre estate form one of Birmingham’s most important heritage sites. Commissioned by Joseph Chamberlain and completed in 1880, the Grade II* listed house was Les Sparks OBE designed by the prominent Birmingham architect J. H. Chamberlain. Chair, Chamberlain Highbury Trust The grounds are listed Grade II on Historic England’s Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest. The Chamberlain legacy is still the subject of debate and rightly so. Joe Chamberlain, as Churchill commented, ‘made the weather’ politically and was both adored and hated. The Commonwealth and the rich ethnic and cultural diversity we celebrate in today’s Birmingham, is distant from his time yet connected, for good or ill, to decisions made by ‘Brummagem Joe’. If modern Birmingham is to continue to grow and prosper, then the development of purposeful and ethical leadership models will be central to the stewardship of its public and private institutions and the promotion of successful entrepreneurship across its diverse population.
