Recognising 20th<\/sup>-century heritage as an integrated part of historic places<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

20th<\/sup>-century heritage forms a significant layer of our history, yet despite increasing conservation interest in this period, many 20th<\/sup>-century heritage assets are at risk of neglect or lack of management, insensitive change or demolition. There is a growing need to better understand, appreciate and assess 20th<\/sup>-century heritage as an integrated part of historic places. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with any other period, the heritage of the 20th-century, reflects wider social, cultural, economic, political and technological change. These changes facilitated, amongst other things, a transformation in England\u2019s planning philosophy and culture as well as the emergence of new building types, construction techniques and materials, adding another layer of complexity to England\u2019s historic landscape character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appreciation of the importance of 20th<\/sup>-century heritage is acknowledged across the United Kingdom, Europe and many other parts of the world. This has also developed alongside a distinct philosophical and practical approach to conservation that is alive to the issues raised by themes such as the archaeology of conflict, the political sensitivity of recent heritage and the problems posed by new building techniques such as reinforced concrete.[1]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite recognition of its importance the wider contribution of \u2018everyday\u2019 20th<\/sup>-century heritage, particularly post war heritage, is often overlooked, undervalued and under-represented on Local Lists and Historic Environment Records and even though English Heritage\u2019s 1980s national resurvey extended the typological and date ranges of structures and building types recommended for listing, only a very small percentage of 20th<\/sup>-century heritage assets meet the criteria for national designation.<\/p>\n\n\n

The late 1920s filling station in Waresley, Hartlebury was noted in the 2016-2020 Parish Plan and Village Design Statement as a ‘cherished landmark’ for many parishioners. The base of British racing driver and aviator Geoff Richardson, the building had also been noted, on the county Historic Environment Record, as the ‘best-known example of an early 20th-century rural filling station in Worcestershire’, and in Morrison’s and Minnis’ (with English Heritage) 2012 book ‘Carscapes’, as ‘an example of a little altered rural filling station’. An application for the demolition of existing buildings and re-development of the site was approved in 2017 with a condition for a programme of Historic Building Recording prior to demolition<\/em>.

Identification of 20th<\/sup>-century heritage of local significance – \u2018how do we protect what we don\u2019t know what we have?\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Identification of 20th<\/sup>-century heritage is an important first step in ensuring that the most distinctive can be retained and adapted as part of future communities and places.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historic Environment Records, Local Lists and Neighborhood Development Plans are valuable mechanisms through which heritage assets, including 20th<\/sup>-century heritage assets, that make a positive contribution to local character and sense of place, can be identified by Local Planning Authorities and Communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buildings and public places dating to the 20th<\/sup>-century can make a positive contribution to a place, including its local character and distinctiveness. While not all locally interesting 20th<\/sup>-century buildings and public places can justifiably be retained, they should be considered as per any ‘non-designated heritage asset’, in planning decisions, and therefore, in those cases where retention\/managed change is not achievable, preservation by record should be supported. The National Planning Policy Framework Para 39 describes non-designated heritage assets as – ‘buildings, monuments, sites, places, areas or landscapes identified by plan-making bodies as having a degree of heritage significance meriting consideration in planning decisions but which do not meet the criteria for designated heritage assets’.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding a New Layer \u2013 20th<\/sup>-century non-domestic buildings and public places in Worcestershire<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Worcestershire\u2019s Historic Environment Record has been working to identify, record and better understand the significance of 20th<\/sup>-century non-domestic buildings and public places across the County. Many more await discovery and assessment! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funded by Historic England the multi-layered Adding a New Layer \u2013 20th<\/sup>-century non-domestic buildings and public places in Worcestershire<\/em> Project also aimed to strengthen the public\u2019s awareness and appreciation of \u2018everyday\u2019 20th<\/sup>-century heritage and celebrate the extra layer of richness it brings to both our lives and landscapes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside national and local guidance <\/em>to support professionals and communities to identify and assess 20th<\/sup>-century heritage, the project developed a strategy for future research in Worcestershire[2]<\/a>. This strategy has been divided into questions for key themes<\/strong> \u2013 which extend across and between topics and key topics.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bluebird \u2013 formally Harvino – toffee factory, in Hunnington, was designed and built in 1925-7 for Harry Vincent Limited of Birmingham. Designed by S. N. Cooke F.R.I.B.A., of Birmingham, the factory was developed as part of a larger \u2018model\u2019 scheme, which incorporated both workers housing and recreational facilities. In 2020 the administration building, welfare building, and boundary wall, railings and gates were listed for their architectural and historic interest and group value. The 20th<\/sup>-century saw a significant shift in industrial development, facilitated by the expanding road network and spread of mains electricity, with many manufacturers moving to cheaper land, with room to expand, on the urban\/rural fringe. From the late 18th<\/sup>-century philanthropic landowners and industrialists had also recognised the importance of providing materially decent conditions for their workers and the ‘value’ of a healthy, happy, ‘socialised’ workforce. This was supported, from the later 19th<\/sup>-century and particularly following the Great War, by a wide-spread shift in social attitudes towards health and welfare, community life and recreation.

Originally built as a Secondary school in the 1950s, Sion High School in Kidderminster later became a Middle School. It was built to the designs of Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the architect who completed the Grade I listed Anglican Cathedral Church of Christ in Liverpool. Designed around a grassed quadrangle, it represents a continuation of the pre-war International Style in its strong and modular horizontal form. After being derelict for approximately 10 years the site was recently demolished to make way for new housing. Photo \u00a9 Paul Collins<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
