Training Day & AGM

Exploring the funding of conservation-led regeneration in a recession, or ‘how to get more for less’!

In Cumbria’s North Pennines, robust solutions are being used to tackle intractable problems with heritage at risk in the public realm.

Find out how local people and conservation professionals are working together to tackle a collection of sites including: a Grade II* listed watermill, High Mill; the redundant Nenthead Methodist chapel; Alston Conservation Area, which is on the national Heritage At Risk register.

Join us in Alston and Nenthead for a full day to scrutinise the ideas and initiatives being pursued and be inspired to work together on endangered sites. Plus a chance to see how the remaining
structures at Nenthead Mines are being conserved by stabilisation and to discover how South Tynedale Railway’s recent HLF grant award could bring economic benefit to the area.
