Efforts to conserve our heritage are sometimes accused of just throwing a spanner into the works. So on May 14th Alnwick Civic Society has arranged a discussion to explore how the planning system can best protect our heritage. All are welcome. St James Church. Doors open 7:00 for 7:30 start.

Tomorrow evening I'll be up in Alnwick representing The Georgian Group in a public panel alongside representatives from The Victorian Society and The CBA. You should come along if you're in the area! @alnwickcivicsoc.bsky.social @archaeologyuk.bsky.social @thevicsoc.bsky.social

Georgian Group Symposium - Architecture and Literature 1660-1840. Saturday 10th May 2025 georgiangroup.org.uk/event-direct...

Lovely blue skies over what is probably Manchester's oldest surviving textiles mill. Medlock Mill started spinning cotton in 1794 but today stands disused and derelict under threat of major demolition works.

Brilliant day yesterday representing The Georgian Group at the Bolton and Leigh Railway bicentenary celebrations!

Very distressing news to start the week! thegardenstrust.org/the-gardens-...

Reminder - applications close on Monday (10th March) at 1pm!!!

We are disheartened by the government's refusal to list Medlock Mill, an early Manchester cotton mill, despite Historic England's advice. This decision endangers an important piece of industrial heritage. 📷: © Matt Harrop (cc-by-sa/2.0)
