    Is there a site in your area which represents an important aspect of metallurgical history? Even small and apparently mundane sites can be of regional and even national importance. If you are concerned about a particular site, then let us know.

    It will help us if you can provide the following information

    • The precise location of the site, with an Ordnance Survey Grid Reference.
    • The nature of the site, something about its history and significance.
    • What is there today that you think is important.
    • The threat to the site - is it being bulldozed? are houses being built nearby?
    • The planning status of the site - has the local authority granted permission? are Listed Buildings or Scheduled Ancient Monuments involved?
    • Please also tell us about any other campaigns or local interest groups which are concerned with the site.
    All of this information should be in the public domain. Your local authority will publish a list of planning applications which it has received, usually in the local newspaper and on its website. The Listed or Scheduled status of the site can easily be checked through the local authority Historic Environment Record (HER) or directly through English Heritage.

    Please get in touch with the Historical Metallurgy Society Conservation Officer by email initially. Leave a phone number and postal address for us to get back in touch with you.
