  • Collections Development Policy
    Collections Development Policy Harris Museum & Art Gallery Preston City Council Date approved: December 2016 Review date: By June 2018 The Harris collections development policy will be published and reviewed from time to time, currently every 12-18 months while the Re-Imagining the Harris project develops. Arts Council England will be notified of any changes to the collections development policy, and the implications of any such changes for the future of the Harris’ collections. 1. Relationship to other relevant policies/plans of the organisation: The Collections Development Policy should be read in the wider context of the Harris’ Documentation Policy and Documentation Plan, Collections Care and Conservation Policy, Access Policy Statement and the Harris Plan. 1.1. The Harris’ statement of purpose is: The Re-Imagining the Harris project builds on four key principles of creativity, democracy, animation and permeability to create an open, flexible and responsive cultural hub led by its communities and inspired by its collections. 1.2. Preston City Council will ensure that both acquisition and disposal are carried out openly and with transparency. 1.3. By definition, the Harris has a long-term purpose and holds collections in trust for the benefit of the public in relation to its stated objectives. Preston City Council therefore accepts the principle that sound curatorial reasons must be established before consideration is given to any acquisition to the collection, or the disposal of any items in the Harris’ collection. 1.4. Acquisitions outside the current stated policy will only be made in exceptional circumstances. 1.5. The Harris recognises its responsibility, when acquiring additions to its collections, to ensure that care of collections, documentation arrangements and use of collections will meet the requirements of the Museum Accreditation Standard.

  • Point: the Ferret, Fylde Road, PR2 2NH
    John Horrocks plaque Start point: The Ferret, Fylde Road, PR2 2NH. John Horrocks, a cotton manufacturer and Member of Parliament for Preston, built the city’s first steam-powered cotton mill on this site in 1796. Impressed with the cotton industry’s possibilities, John devoted himself to cotton-spinning and began selling his yarn through the Lancashire manufacturing districts. His well-earned reputation for quality resulted in him moving from Edgworth to Preston in 1791 and manufacturing cotton shirtings and long-cloths, in addition to spinning cotton yarn. Within a year of arriving in Preston, John built his first large mill on Dale Street, with the help of his business partner Richard Newsham. With demand increasing, he soon obtained monopoly over the manufacture of cottons and muslins for the Indian market from the British East India Company. As the business continued to grow, more mills were built and John made his brother a partner within the firm and invited his uncle to join the business. John Whitehead and Thomas Miller were also made partners in 1801, resulting in the business becoming Horrockses, Miller, & Co. Even after the death of John Horrocks in 1804, the business continued to move through the ages. In 1887 the company merged with Crewdson, Crosses and Co. to become Horrockses, Crewdson & Co. The 1940s saw the company launching Horrockses Fashions. Their off the peg dresses proved very popular and were famously worn by the Queen on her first Commonwealth Tour. After the brand was shelved in the 1980s, it has since been revived and released a line of clothing through the popular online clothing company ASOS.
