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.

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.

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)
