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

Good morning from @Heritage_NGOs member @RIBA for @HOLTofLondon conference on #PublicArt - a full house as Director Dr Nicola Stacey introduces the theme of breaking the barrier between heritage & art.

Let the art breathe through time, communities engage & respond. Public art is bonding & inspiring but they are vulnerable.

Care & restoration. Imaginative reuse where this is needed. This should always be possible.

Good morning from Day 3 of the #LabourConference2024 - first up a dip into the monthly @HistEnvForum meeting & now I’m at the @BritishMusicExp with our member @UNESCOUK & colleagues @BritishCouncil for a session on how culture & heritage can support a sustainable future for all.

This is an event celebrating UN Sustainable Development Goals week with @2030hub.

Discussion about locally led solutions, relational infrastructure, reduction of siloed working between orgs, reconnecting communities with their own monuments when they have been alienated in some places. Need to connect individual to global. Hearing localised voices.

Good morning from Day two of #LabourConference2024 & we are joining a discussion about government-civil partnership around culture wars with @nationaltrust and @Moreincommon_

Some fascinating material about voter profiles & views on ‘culture war’ type issues. Voters see through it.

People are interested in the “and what?” question. Unlike America we don’t have stacked issues in certain profiles. In Britain we are more issue led, issue by issue.
