In July 2014 Context went to Yorkshire, as the new edition of Context, the journal of the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC), looked at this large county with so much to offer; and now, some 6 months later, it’s online for all to see and use.
Yorkshire’s cultural inheritance includes:
- the seven registered battlefields
- the distinctive landscapes of Yorkshire’s national parks
- the county’s rich industrial heritage
- the two world heritage sites at Fountains Abbey and Saltaire
- urban parks, historic gardens and parkland and
- great architecture and urban development.
As ever, themed issues of Context also include more general conservation articles as well as news, book reviews and reports from IHBC’s officers. Issues are posted online some six months after their production.
The next online editions of Context will be the September issues, which looked back at the 2014 Annual School in Edinburgh, and the November issue, commemorating the centenary of the outbreak of the Great War.
Forthcoming Context themes include a look at the retail environment, the material and technology of metal and Northern Ireland.
