Historic England’s latest addition to its series of Industrial Heritage webinars is now online. Their webinars are free to register for. They provide an interactive and immersive live online learning experience on a variety of topics relevant to the wider heritage sector. 

The latest industrial heritage webinar looks at the identification, assessment, and recording of industrial heritage sites (landscapes, standing structures/buildings, archaeological remains) through the planning process in England, as well as considering potential public benefits arising from such work. The speakers were Norman Redhead (Heritage Management Director, Archaeology, Greater Manchester Archaeological Advisory Service) and Dr Mike Nevell (Industrial Heritage Support Officer and Research Fellow of University of Salford, Centre for Applied Archaeology).

They shared a series of case studies from Greater Manchester. These included excavating workers housing at Angel Meadow; recording Ancoats’ steam-powered cotton textile mills; and the excavation and conservation of the Worsley Delph canal basin on the Bridgewater Canal. The focus was on the public benefit and research value of such planning-led archaeological and industrial heritage work.
