His dreams were cut off by his untimely death; Her innocence shattered by her last shallow breath. He is the voice that echoes our pride; She is the eyes, that for our freedom, cried.

  • Giving Our Past a Future Momentum
    GIVING OUR PAST A FUTURE: THE WORK OF WORLD MONUMENTS FUND BRITAIN Foreword by Kevin McCloud, Ambassador, WMF Britain Pouring money into an old building is one of the great honourable activities of the modern age. How else are we supposed to understand where we’re going unless we understand where we’ve been? How else can we give any kind of context to our children’s education if we don’t care for what we have? World Monuments Fund Britain have to be congratulated for preserving so many exceptional sites for future generations and for helping them to make that vital connection with their sense of place, community and history. Front cover: A restored Corinthian capital at Stowe House in Buckinghamshire. Inside covers: The restored Large Library ceiling at Stowe House.

  • Manchester Urban Historic Landscape Characterisation Section 7
    7 Manchester’s Historic Character – Analysis and Recommendations 7.1 Unenclosed land broad type Figure 4 The area of the former Shadow Moss is indicated by the distinctive field boundary patterns depicted on OS 6” 1 st edition mapping of c1882 Description This character type comprises areas that are currently of low economic value and where there is little or no settlement. It includes marginal land such as open mossland and marsh, and other unimproved land which may nonetheless be exploited, such as common land, pasture and moorland. Unenclosed land only occurs in Manchester district as a previous type. 7.1.1 Open moorland Description and historical context Moorland does not exist as a current type within the Manchester landscape; it appears as a previous type only in the Baguley Moor area. Some areas of the former moorland have not been developed and although their character has changed, they may still contain palaeoenvironmental and archaeological evidence. 27 For example, the playing fields associated with Brookway High School (HLC Ref HGM13548) and the playing fields east of Church Stoke Walk (HLC Ref HGM13842) have both been enclosed from farmland that was formerly moorland. 7.1.2 Mossland Description and historical context Although there is no surviving untouched mossland in Manchester, there were several mosses in the district in the past. Mossland has thus been recorded as a previous rather than a current character type. Like the upland moors, the former lowland mosses were probably enclosed at a relatively late date. The three main former mosses in Manchester are Hough Moss in the area which is now Moss Side and Whalley Range; Shadow Moss, near Moss Nook and Manchester Airport in the south of the district; and White Moss, near Charlestown in the northern part of the district.
