The South Yorkshire Local Heritage List relies on local knowledge and community input to identify buildings, sites and places that could be included on the list.
Before the nomination process can begin, a heritage asset must first be identified as a potential candidate. This can be done in all sorts of ways, through knowledge of a particular place, as a survey or research project with a local group, or just by visiting and taking some photos of an asset, along with a bit of historic research. Many local heritage and special interest groups, such as the civic trusts/societies, are involved with the local list project, so you may want to join up with a nearby group. Or contact us, or your council Conservation Officer, for advice on identifying candidates. Information on how to join training events and other useful tips will also be available on our Local Heritage List Blog.
