Other ArchaeologyCheshire County Council has been awarded a £104,500 lottery grant to promote access to its Sites and Monuments Record.The Cheshire SMR is a database of all known archaeological sites and finds in the county and covers periods from prehistory to post-Medieval. It is currently being extended to include more recent industrial sites and military remains.
The heritage lottery grant will also be used to create exhibitions aimed at audiences new to the heritage and will tour museums, libraries and community venues around the county. Fact sheets will provide more detailed information on topics such as prehistoric and Roman Cheshire, Roman roads, historic towns and an introduction to Cheshire’s archaeology aimed at schools. A website will summarise the archaeology of Cheshire, as well as providing information on recent discoveries in the county. A Public Access database will provide access to individual records held in the SMR. The Project is due to start in April 2002, when a Project Officer will be appointed, and will continue until 2004.
A selection of recent finds from Cheshire will be on display at the forthcoming exhibition Finding Our Past at the Salt Museum, Northwich from 11th March 2002.
