[admin]

Posted on behalf of Kerry Walmsley, SMBC:

Many thanks to those who attended the ‘Buildings of Local Interest in Marple’ presentation on Wednesday 31st August at Marple Senior Citizens Hall. The event was a great success and well attended by members of the community and local groups. Following the informative talk, those in attendance were given the opportunity to nominate buildings they would like to see on a local list of buildings of architectural and historic interest.

Over the next coming months, Kerry Walmsley, who led the presentation will be working closely with Marple Vision Partnership in compiling a local list. She is undergoing an extensive survey of the area and assessing each nomination against formally adopted criteria of Stockport MBC.

If you would like to nominate a building to go on a local list of architectural and historic interest please fill in the attached nomination form and email to kerry.walmsley@stockport.gov.uk. - It would be great if you can include a photograph of the building however this is not essential.

Alternatively nomination forms can be printed off and posted to:

Kerry Walmsley

Place Directorate
Stopford House

The project offers many opportunities for volunteers who are interested in areas such as local history, architecture and photography. You may like to take some pictures of local buildings or even look through the census records of a nominated building to find out more about the people that lived in them. However big or small your contribution it will help to promote the unique heritage that Marple has to offer.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer or would like to find out more about the project please email kerry.walmsley@stockport.gov.uk , or telephone 0161 474 4884.
