Examining both the role of transport infrastructure as a driver of change and economic growth, as well as its impact on historic places, the 2017 School, entitled \u2018Transport Infrastructure: the backbone of civilisation\u2019 offers remarkable insights into how the heritage sector addresses its conservation and sustainable development, while the Day School will explore four key themes of \u2018Railways, Water, Roads and Air\u2019.<\/p>\n

Early bird booking rates are available for a limited period so be sure to book soon so you don\u2019t lose out.<\/p>\n

IHBC Chair James Caird said: \u2018The Annual School is always a stimulating and entertaining event with the added benefits of being top-quality CPD. We hope that many IHBC members will wish to attend.\u2019<\/p>\n

David McDonald IHBC President said: \u2018The IHBC\u2019s 2017 Annual School is a unique and valuable opportunity to focus on the rich legacy of transport infrastructure, exploring not only its continuing role as a future driver of change and economic growth but also its impact upon historic places. We\u2019ll provide high profile learning experience on what heritage specialists can do to help address historic and modern transport infrastructure and the historic environment\u2019.<\/p>\n

IHBC North West Branch Chair Paul Hartley said: \u2018We are thrilled to host the IHBC\u2019s 2017 Annual School and it\u2019ll be three exciting days including guided Tours, Evening Reception & Dinner and a day conference exploring four key themes on \u2018Railways, Water, Roads and Air\u2019, exploring the development and impact of transport networks to the rural and modern urban landscape in the United Kingdom.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Much of this accumulated historic transport legacy survives and remains in operation, and we will look at different ways in which they adapted to serve new needs and converted for new purposes to generate economic, social and cultural growth\u2019.<\/p>\n

The School will run from Thursday 22nd to Saturday 24th June and centre on the stand-alone Day School on Friday 23rd June.\u00a0 Full details of every aspect of the School and on line booking can be found at manchester2017@ihbc.org.uk<\/a><\/p>\n
