Loved but ignored: New research reveals how the UK

is failing to get the most out of its heritage

‘The UK’s heritage is much-loved but its immense value is being

ignored. If leaders don’t assess heritage assets, find it hard to describe

what they are and don’t know who best to talk to about them, it’s hardly

surprising that their heart-felt enthusiasm for the history and identity of

their places is not manifest in a convincing local heritage strategy’

‘The critical issue here is identity. What does a place mean to its

population and in what way can that meaning be articulated?’

‘In the context of place shaping heritage is as much about the future as

the past. That conversation, about heritage in the future is one which

must engage with identity as it is understand and used by local people.’
