  • Managing Change in the Historic Environment: Structures
    Managing Change in the Historic Environment Engineering Structures October 2010 Key Issues 1. Historic structures and works of civil engineering are often of significant architectural and historic interest in their own right. Listed building consent is required for any works affecting the character of a listed building and planning permission may be required in a conservation area. Scheduled monument consent is always required for works to scheduled monuments. 2. Works to historic engineering structures must be based on a thorough understanding of their design, construction and use of materials. This is likely to require the involvement of structural engineers and others with relevant experience of dealing with such structures. 3. Where remedial or strengthening works are found necessary, they must: • be in sympathy to the way that structure performs; • restore the structural strength and extend its life. 4. Existing materials should be replaced only where essential to structural stability or other safety- related issues, and where the consequences of that intervention are understood. In general, existing material should be retained and augmented, rather than replaced, by new construction where stability or other safety-related issues are of concern. 5. Some structures may not have an obvious alternative use, but should nonetheless be retained to give a sense of place to a development. 6. Planning authorities give advice on the requirement for listed building consent, planning and other permissions. 2 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 This is one of a series of guidance notes on managing change in the historic environment for use by planning authorities and other interested parties. The series explains how to apply the policies contained in the Scottish Historic Environment Policy (2009) (SHEP, PDF 312K) and The Scottish Planning Policy (2010) (SPP, PDF 299K).

Info and Handy Links From the 19th Century History of Dundee Dundee Crest For an account of the textile manufactures of Dundee by steam-power, it is not necessary to go farther back than the beginning of the 19th century. At that time there was a considerable production of linens, chiefly OSNABURGS and sheeting ; but the yarn was wholly spun by hand, and of course the days of Dundee City Council Archives Website weaving by steam-power were yet distant. The yarn was chiefly supplied from the spinning-wheels of thrifty housewives in the country districts, who congregated in the High Street on market days for its sale. Old Dundee Painting The manufacturers bought it as it came off the reel, in small parcels varying from one to a dozen spindles. The yarn thus obtained was necessarily unequal in quality and size, which rendered the production of uniform cloth a matter of difficulty, while the precariousness of the supply restricted the operations of large manufacturers. The greater proportion of cloth was produced by individual weavers, History of Dundee in their own dwellings, who supplied themselves with sufficient yarn for a web, which, on being passed at Broughty Castle the Stamp Office, was offered from door to door until some cloth-merchant gave the price asked for it. To obviate the inconvenience and loss of time involved in this primitive mode of conducting business, a class of dealers sprang up, who moved about the country districts, bought up yarn, distributed flax to be spun on hire, and collected and acted as agents for the production of cloth.

  • The Works Brass Band – a Historical Directory of the Industrial and Corporate Patronage and Sponsorship of Brass Bands
    The works brass band – a historical directory of the industrial and corporate patronage and sponsorship of brass bands Gavin Holman, January 2020 Preston Corporation Tramways Band, c. 1910 From the earliest days of brass bands in the British Isles, they have been supported at various times and to differing extents by businesses and their owners. In some cases this support has been purely philanthropic, but there was usually a quid pro quo involved where the sponsor received benefits – e.g. advertising, income from band engagements, entertainment for business events, a “worthwhile” pastime for their employees, corporate public relations and brand awareness - who would have heard of John Foster’s Mills outside of the Bradford area if it wasn’t for the Black Dyke Band? One major sponsor and supporter of brass bands, particularly in the second half of the 19th century, was the British Army, through the Volunteer movement, with upwards of 500 bands being associated with the Volunteers at some time – a more accurate estimate of these numbers awaits some further analysis. However, I exclude these bands from this paper, to concentrate on the commercial bodies that supported brass bands. I am also excluding social, civic, religious, educational and political organisations’ sponsorship or support. In some cases it is difficult to determine whether a band, composed of workers from a particular company or industry was supported by the business or not. The “workmen’s band” was often a separate entity, supported by a local trade union or other organisation. For the purposes of this review I will be including them unless there is specific reference to a trade union or other social organisation.

  • Vernacular Building 1-3 (1975-7)
    1 VERNACULAR BUILDING 1 ED nOR GEOFFREY STELL 1975 (REPRINT OMITTING BUSINESS NOTICES 1981) 2 Alexander Fenton and Gavin Sprott THE VERNACULAR BUILDINGS SECTIONS OF THE SCOTTISH COUNTRY LIFE ARCHIVE, NATIONAL MUSEUM OF ANTIQUITIES OF SCOTLAND. The Scottish Country Life Section of the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland has been compiling, in the course of the last IS years, an Archive of information relating to all aspects of country life in Scotland. The Archive consists of 10 x 5 inch sheets and is arranged by subjects, each subject being broken down topographically by counties. At the time of writing there are approximately 50,000 entries, with an annual growth rate of 5000 - 6000 entries. About 10% of the whole Archive deals with vernacular buildings - i.e. over 5000 entries filling 33 files. This section of the Archive, like the Archive as a whole, has been built up in order to provide data on the background history and range of regional variations in Scottish vernacular buildings in the countryside and villages. It is as much concerned with social and economic history as with architectural history, and in fact its primary aim is to contextualise the buildings, to place them in their functional setting within their environment, and to see to what extent they are themselves products of their context. Material from all kinds of sources is included. The County Agricultural Surveys of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries have been searched through and extracted, and the same applied to the Statistical Accounts of the l790s and the l840s, and to the publications of local societies.

  • Dundee Heritage Trust RRS Discovery and Polar Collections Jute Collections Recognised Collection Status Review 2018
    Dundee Heritage Trust RRS Discovery and Polar Collections Jute Collections Recognised Collection Status Review 2018 1. Is the collection still eligible? RRS Discovery and Discovery Point RRS Discovery and Polar collections Before James Clark Ross’s voyage to the Antarctic in 1839-43 the continent was unknown. Even after the epic journey of his ships, the Erebus and the Terror, the continent was still a mystery. The period 1897-1930 marked the era of ‘Heroic Exploration’ and was a watershed in the expansion of our knowledge due to the huge of amount of geological, geographic, zoological and physical data that was collected by explorers to the area. As a research ship Discovery was central to this activity as she was involved in three major expeditions of the period to Antarctica. Specifically designed to carry out polar exploration and scientific work, she is at the heart of a unique and fascinating collection of artefacts held by Dundee Heritage Trust. The collection charts the explorations of Captain Scott and Ernest Shackleton but also the later, and as important, expeditions such as the Discovery Oceanographic Expedition between 1925 and 1927 and the BANZAR (British, Australian, New Zealand Antarctic Research) Expeditions between 1929 and 1931. RRS Discovery is part of the National Historic Fleet of UK ships, as defined by the National Historic Ships Committee. This is for vessels of ‘pre-eminent national significance in terms of maritime heritage, historical association or innovation of technology'. Discovery and the associated collections also fitted three categories of importance as defined in the original Recognition guidance documents - in terms of developments in science, technology and industry; central to the life and works of a person or group and have had a leading role in our understanding of the natural environment.

  • Textile Mills and Their Landscapes Therefore Depends on Promotion of Active Re-Use
    The International Context for Textile Sites This comparative study was compiled by the Textile Special Interest Section of the International Committee for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage (TICCIH). The text was discussed at meetings of the section in London, UK, in 2000, Barcelona, Spain, in 2001, in Euskirchen, Germany, in 2003 and Sedan, France, in 2007.1 The draft list was also displayed on the TICCIH website, was presented to the Association for Industrial Archaeology Conference in 2002 to the Society for Industrial Archeology in 2004 and to TICCIH in Terni in 2006. Contents 1. Preface 2. Universal Significance of Textile History 3. Definition, authenticity and protection of a textile site. 4 Typology of the functional elements of a textile mill 5. List of Known Textile Sites of International Significance 1. Preface This list is one of a series of industry-by-industry lists offered to ICOMOS for use in providing guidance to the World Heritage Committee as to sites that could be considered of international significance. This is not a sum of proposals from individual countries, neither does it make any formal nominations for World Heritage Site inscription: States Parties do that. A thematic study presents examples, and omission here does not rule out future consideration. The study attempts to arrive at a consensus of expert opinion on what might make sites, monuments and landscapes significant. This follows the Global Strategy for a representative, balanced and credible world heritage list. Industrial sites are among the types of international monuments that are at present considered to be under-represented on the World Heritage List.
