Heritage Protection as Progressive Urbanism? Modernist Social Housing in England
Heritage protection can sometimes disrupt the remaking and reimaging of cities by prioritising and protecting alternatives based on non‐market values of architectural and historical significance. In England, the “post‐war listing” programme has positioned state heritage protection as an unlikely advocate and defender (sometimes of last resort) of the diminishing material and symbolic legacy of the architecture of the welfare state and its sociali…
The water heritage of China: The polders of Tai Lake Basin as continuing landscape
This paper examines the long history of planned water and landscape management in China, focusing on the Tai Lake Basin located in the southern part of the Yangtze River Delta. To position this polder landscape within the broad spectrum of water heritage in China, the paper examines the historical perceptions and symbolism of water and its decisive role in shaping Chinese outlooks on empire, urban settlements and landscapes. It then delineates th…
Relationality, place governance and heritage: The Lower Ouseburn Valley, Newcastle upon Tyne and ‘Ouseburnness’
A distinct collective place imaginary has developed in recent decades for the Lower Ouseburn Valley, Newcastle upon Tyne, or ‘Ouseburn’, formed by the experience of ‘rediscovery’ of this post-industrial area, as well as its longer industrial past. This has crystallized in the idea of ‘Ouseburnness’, a placeness that is used to actively frame the area’s character and future. In this paper, we examine this story in the context of a relational under…
Heritage as a Vehicle for Development: The Case of Bigg Market, Newcastle upon Tyne
In this paper we examine the way conservation-planning has changed since the global economic crisis in Newcastle upon Tyne (UK), where austerity is still an all-consuming issue. Focusing upon a recent project around the Bigg Market, a historic public space, we map the new ‘conservation-planning assemblage’ where ‘other-than-public' forms of management have taken hold. We identify impacts of austerity, deregulation and a smaller state ideology, an…
Re-using 'uncomfortable heritage: The case of the 1933 building, Shanghai
This paper opens up a discussion over the processes of forgetting and remembering that occur in the adaptive reuse of quite commonplace buildings that, nevertheless, have been classified as ‘heritage’. For most buildings survival depends upon finding a new economic use once original use has ceased. At this point decisions are also made about what stories are carried forward from the building’s past. The principal case study discussed in this pape…
Place and voluntary activity in inter-war England: Topophilia and professionalization
During the inter-war period, the formation of amenity groups marked a new phase in the way place was conceived and shaped and their establishment and relationship with newly empowered local authorities remains an under-examined aspect of the management of towns and cities at the time. Focusing on the motivations for group formation in Birmingham and Norwich, we explore how complex relationships of attachment to place, or topophilia, entered into …
The modern abattoir as a machine for killing: The municipal abattoir of the Shanghai International Settlement, 1933
The public abattoir emerged as an institution across the industrialized world in the mid-nineteenth century to centralize and control animal killing and meat processing, activities that had traditionally taken place in private slaughterhouses. The modern idea of the abattoir, however, is more than a place where animals are killed for human consumption. Designed to optimize a disassembling process that efficiently took apart the livestock into sma…
A Handbook to the Palace of Minos at Knossos: With its Dependencies
Sir Arthur Evans's excavation at the Cretan site of Knossos from 1900 onwards uncovered a previously unknown civilization. His enthusiastic (though controversial) reconstructions of the site and its fresco decorations made it an attractive destination for travellers and tourists, and Evans thought a simple guidebook for visitors would be desirable alongside his own multi-volume work, The Palace of Minos (also reissued in this series). This was pu…
Conservation values, the authorised heritage discourse and the conservation-planning assemblage
The focus of this paper is the practice of conservation applied through the English planning system, termed conservation-planning. It argues that a distinct conservation-planning social entity has developed that may be described as an ‘assemblage’ and that the values and validated practice of conservation-planning are constructed as an authorised heritage discourse (AHD). Emphasis is placed upon the way that the AHD maybe mobilised by the conserv…

The Conservation of English Cultural Built Heritage: A Force for Social Inclusion
Debates about the socially inclusionary potential of heritage have to date focused principally on heritage sites and museums. Relatively little attention has been paid to the wider Cultural Built Heritage (CBH) that surrounds us in our everyday lives. This paper starts with a brief theoretical exploration of the social role of heritage and the key policy background. Then, based on an understanding of policy and action in England, this paper sets …

Impolite landscapes? The influence of local economic and cultural factors in garden history: A case study of tyne and wear
The study of garden history derives from roots planted firmly in art history. As it has matured as a subject it has gradually begun to look more broadly at what constitutes an historic landscape and make links with other disciplines of landscape study. This paper reports on a study of parks and gardens in the metropolitan county of Tyne and Wear. It argues that to understand the garden history of this area, traditionally unfashionable and essenti…
The Archaeology of Crete: An Introduction
V. The Cave of Meskine (‘The Leper’)
This cave lies about 400 metres east of the Skaphidhia Cave. It is entered from a small flat terrace in a fold of the cliffs behind the Trapeza Plateau. From the entrace the cave runs due west for about 6 metres, then, after a quick turn north and east, continues towards the north for another 15. At the entrace the height is nearly 2 metres, but diminishes steadily until at the far end the roof is within 40 cms. of the floor. The width is fairly …
III. The Surroundings of the Cave of Trapeza
A. Some 70 metres east of the cave, close to the south-east corner of the hill, a few fragments of an undecorated Middle Minoan I pithos and a fragment of a stone axe too small to give any idea of its type were found in a shallow deposit on a small terrace. B. In a cleft in the rock 40 metres east of the cave, dignified by the name of Τοῦ Γρυμάνη τὸ σπήλαιο , were found most of the pieces of a Neolithic vase (see below p. 16 and Plate V, 1), a ha…
II. Further Objects from the Cave of Trapeza
The following objects, all said to be from the Cave of Trapeza or immediately outside, were recovered from the peasants in 1937 and 1938. 1. (Fig. 1 a ). Pedestalled cup in mottled limestone. This joins one of the fragments numbered 16 in the catalogue. Height 4·4 cms., diameter 5·3 cms.; cf. a finer example from Mokhlos, Tomb XXI, No. 7. Probably EM II but, owing to its coarser shape might be EM III. 2. (Fig. 1 a ). Small lid in brown steatite p…
I. Additional Sites
The following pages give an account of the first half of the excavations conducted on behalf of the British School in June 1937. The party consisted of Mr. J. D. S. Pendlebury, Miss M. Money-Coutts, and Miss M. Pascoe. Emmanoueles Akoumianos was again kindly lent by the School to act as foreman. Thanks to the courtesy of the authorities we had the pleasure of the assistance of Mr. Kh. N. Petrou, Assistant-Director of Candia Museum. His arrival di…
VI. The Kastellos
The Kastellos Tzermiadhon is a bold bluff which runs out from the slopes of Psarokorphe about ten minutes east of the village. It rises to a height of about 320 ft. above the plain. To west, east, and south the sides are fairly precipitous, but to the north it is connected with the cliffs behind by a kind of causeway, from the end of which a steep path reaches the summit. It can never have been of strategic importance. It dominates one route into…
IV. The Cave of Skaphidhia
A quarter of an hour north of the village of Tzermiadho runs a line of cliffs which eventually join the west end of the Trapeza plateau. They are fronted by a thick growth of ilex trees, which makes the examination of them a matter of some difficulty. Many shallow caves occur, and from the top left-hand corner of one, 2 metres above the floor, a narrow hole about 50 cms. in diameter leads to a small chamber some 4 metres by 2, with a height never…
Lasithi in Ancient Times
Recent excavations in the district of Lasithi in Crete have both raised and answered a number of historical problems which, while not suitable for inclusion in a strict excavation report, may yet properly be the subject of an essay in honour of one who did so much for the archaeology and topography of Crete in the early days. It must be remembered that the following pages are suggestions intended merely to stimulate further enquiry on a less rest…

Excavations in the Plain of Lasithi. I: The Cave of Trapeza
The plain of Lasithi (a corruption of La Sitia, a name which in Venetian days included the whole of the eastern end of Crete) lies in the centre of the Dikte massif some 2750 feet above sea-level (Fig. 1). Originally it was probably of a marshy nature, but, owing to the deforestation of the surrounding mountains and the subsequent washing down of the earth from them, a great depth of soil has collected to form a flat plain, which is now one of th…

Journeys in Crete, 1934
The following is an account of some expeditions made from Knossos by members of the British School. It is hoped in time to make a complete register of all ancient sites on the island (more than six hundred are already known). How much is still to be done is shewn by the fact that over thirty-five new sites were found during the course of the journeys here described. The names of the sites here given must be taken with reserve. Pronunciation varie…

Two Protopalatial Houses at Knossos
An interesting feature of the excavations in the West Court at Knossos in 1930 was the discovery of two more walled pits or ‘Koulouras’ lying between that already excavated and the great enceinte wall which was brought to light at the western extremity of the later Court (Fig. 1). At the bottom of each of these Koulouras appeared walls and floors belonging to houses dating from the beginning of the first Middle Minoan period, which had been cover…
