The 19thC Ferry Mary Anne - the last surviving rowed Windermere ferry built before the steam powered chain ferry introduced in 1870. One of the large rowed Windermere ferries that had huge oars known as sweeps and a movable ramp. It sank off Belle Isle after WW2 @windermerejetty ImageImageImageImage
Some great collections at @windermerejetty ImageImageImageImage
The boathouse has the Swallow & the Amazon, 1950s boats used in the 2016 film #SwallowsandAmazons alongside various other beauties ImageImageImageImage
Love the #ArthurRansome collection including his sketchbook @windermerejetty ImageImageImageImage
Dress up collections also a hit ImageImageImageImage
Special exhibitions this time include - A gorgeous room with the watercolour art of Barbara Nicholls inspired by the Lake District @windermerejetty ImageImageImageImage
Here’s a few more… @windermerejetty ImageImageImageImage
Outside here’s an interactive trail about sailing & wind direction @windermerejetty ImageImageImage
I already tweeted about the conservation happening on site at @windermerejetty - here also is the large vessel Raven undergoing conservation ImageImage
Also a great area for little visitors. Image
Here’s a chain on the site in 2018 while it was still in construction. Such a fantastic space. @windermerejetty

A treat to join our @Heritage_NGOs member @PSSAtweets for @MarshAwards for public sculpture. David Aaronovitch talks to begin about past art, past politics. There are some important perhaps unobserved mosaics in public buildings. 1928-33 mosaics added to floor of NG. V&A too. Image
Image
Image
We need to remember to look down at floors! Boris Anrep included many muses in mosaic art. Some private art of past is now public art. Public art piques interest - allows us to pull threads & see where they go. Defiance for eg is shape of a swastika & wears a papal crown. Why? Image
Shortlist for @MarshAwards for excellence in public sculpture Image

Good morning from Saltaire & @WorldHeritageUK Day 2 - first up this morning is Ashleigh Taylor of Blaenavon WHS talking about the Benefits of World Heritage to local communities. WHUK there to support in a centralised way to help & empower sites on this. Image
Image
Image
Image
What is local community in this context - v local… neighbourhoods, those living and working in and around the site. 6-7 weeks into a project on this. Started by looking at periodic review data. 79% reported positive impact through tourism but also 47% negative - a balance. Image
Image
41% say illegal activity an issue… 41% negative financial factors. Huge economic contribution but community data shows some way to go. Support needed to build confidence in some areas. Image

Good morning from the @WorldHeritageUK conference at Victoria Hall in WHS Saltaire. I’ll be tweeting some highlights here. We are welcomed by Chair Paul Simons, Councillor Alex Ross & Lazare Assomo of UNESCO. Image
Image
Image
Image
Lord Wallace of Saltaire outlines some of the history of why Saltaire is so special. Sir Titus Salt’s vision for workers when the child mortality in Bradford was one of the worst in the country & life expectancy of millworkers was 18. bradford.gov.uk/environment/sa…Image
Unlike most WHS Saltaire is in mixed ownership. Salts Mill preserves this important site & contributes to economy. Salts Foundation cares for public buildings. Shipley College looks after others. Also owners & tenants of homes & shops. Here - from a previous visit
