Researchers are aiming to create a portfolio of local heritage artefacts from the Solway Plain. These could include old photographs, farming implements, local folk culture and memories. Items could possibly go forward to an exhibition later.<\/p>\n

Fieldwork is at an early stage, with the team taking photos and documenting any items brought to their attention.<\/p>\n

The work is part of a project called the\u00a0Solway Wetlands Landscape Partnership Scheme<\/a>\u00a0which is a partnership between the\u00a0Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty<\/a>\u00a0and other organisations.<\/p>\n

Alex Kaars Sijpesteijn,\u00a0Solway Wetlands Development Officer, said: ”\u00a0If you know of anyone who has artefacts and wouldn’t mind potentially letting them be in an exhibition please let me know.<\/p>\n

“At the moment we are simply taking photos and notes so that when the time comes we know where they are.”<\/p>\n

The project area runs from Allonby to Wigton to Kirkbampton to the western tip of Carlisle and up to the coast.\u00a0It is a four year project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.<\/p>\n

If you would like more information or have an item suitable for the research team, please contact the Solway Wetlands Development Officer on 016973 33055 or email\u00a0Alexandra.Sijpesteijn@Allerdale.gov.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n
