Book Review: Rural reality bites for urbanites

9 April 2004

Ah - the countryside! Lush meadows (mud); cosy country pubs (here be bigots); and log fires (beware back injury from chopping wood). Out of Your Townie Mind exposes the myths of rural living and replaces them with the uncomfortable reality: The countryside is cold and dirty, and "unless you are a white heterosexual" can be desperately unwelcoming.

Opinion: Northern way to a new economy

9 April 2004

We've had the American Way, Playschool encouraging infants to walk the Wibbly-Wobbly Way, and now the Northern Way.

9 April 2004

Barbara Roche asserts that red tape is stifling renewal (Regeneration & Renewal, 19 March, p9).

Opinion: Historical echo of Rachmanism in slum districts

9 April 2004

There was recently a sensational article in this magazine: on Tyneside, a company called Practical Property Portfolio (PPP) got more than £100 million from investors to renovate and let derelict houses, with promises of 15 per cent return a year (Regeneration & Renewal, 26 March, p22).

Economic Development News: Tile works wins funding

9 April 2004

Ironbridge Gorge Museums last week won £2 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund to complete the final phase in the restoration of the Craven Dunnill Tile Works in Jackfield, Shropshire (above). The grant means that the factory, which has been undergoing restoration work for the past two years, will reopen this summer as a working museum with what it claims will be "one of the most complete interpretations of high Victorian decorative arts in the region". In addition to the HLF money, the £3.7 million final phase was funded by the European Regional Development Fund, regional development agency Advantage West Midlands, the Owen Family Trust, and the Esmee Fairbairn, Headley and Manifold trusts.
