Providing a welcome partner to the various ‘Look-up’ campaigns, The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) has launched a campaign to turn attention to the resource under our feet, and asks those finding historic floors to tweet photographs to @SPAB1877 using the hashtag #lookdown.
The SPAB writes:
SPAB believes a vital ‘step’ is being missed by many of those involved with and responsible for the care of the built historic environment. A great number of schemes are being developed without initial consideration of the beauty and interest of the materials, literally, underfoot.’
SPAB has produced a free information download based on a popular SPAB technical pamphlet written by Adela Wright (available from SPAB). The Society asks those finding historic floors to tweet photographs to @SPAB1877 using the hashtag #lookdown.
The campaign webpage includes a blog detailing SPAB’s Top 20 Floors.
