Abstract: |
Updates on five examples from Listed Buildings casework undertaken by the Council for British Archaeology (CBA) and featured in previous issues of British Archaeology. Despite opposition, most of the site of the Marconi factory in Chelmsford has now been cleared for housing development with the loss of a remarkable collection of 20th century structures. Planned restoration works on four structures at Dudley Zoo, in the grounds of Dudley Castle, have yet to commence, but the CBA are hopeful that these buildings will be restored in the coming year. Deptford Dockyard has been nominated for inclusion on the World Monuments Fund Watch List, which gives support to threatened sites. The Huddersfield and District Archaeological Society have come forward to tell the CBA about their involvement at Castle Hill, Huddersfield, further highlighting how it is valued by the local community. Penarth Pavilion, a deteriorating Grade II Listed pier near Cardiff, has been regenerated and is now thriving as a multi-functional centre with a gallery, cinema and restaurant. LD |
