The latest issue of the IHBC’s membership journal Context is themed around the Isle of Man, combining distinctive national histories and resources with heritage and conservation challenges while offering the usual regular sector updates and takes from the IHBC and others.
Articles in the latest issue will feature in future NewsBlogs and social media posts.
The themed content in this issue includes:
- Chris Thomas on ‘Building conservation matters in the Isle of Man’;
- Edmund Southworth writing about ’10,000 years of settlement’;
- Patricia Tutt’s articles ‘From blackhouse to Baillie Scott’; and ‘A pattern of building’;
- Catriona Mackie on ‘The island in context’; and ‘Island of architecture’
- Matthew Richardson on ‘The TT Races and the landscape’
- Ashley Pettit on ‘Celebrating the Sea Terminal Building’
- Steve Blackford on ‘Bringing Peggy home’ and ‘A new view of the Quarterdeck’; and
- Peter Kelly on ‘Armitage Rigby, the overlooked architect’.
As usual this themed issue includes a range of other general conservation articles content as well as news, book reviews and reports from IHBC’s officers. These include:
- Charles Mynors writing about ‘All change for planning and historic environment law’
- Sandra Manley on ‘Saving St James’s Priory’
- Rob Lennox on ‘Parallel professions: archaeology and conservation’ and
- Stuart Bailey on ‘Local listing in Leicester’.
Reading Context helps IHBC members develop their skills across all of the IHBC’s Areas of Competence, and so is a critical baseline in addressing priorities in Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
