Re: Unique Rock Art found after Fylingdales Fire by Andy B on Thursday, 23 December 2004

I've found that Neil Redfern has some 'previous' when it comes to proposing strange things to do with Rock Art:

http://www.ilkley.org/civicsociety/icivnews.htm

The Dr Little Heritage Group put an application to the Local Heritage Initiative for improving St Margaret's Park and the area around the Panorama Stones. Since the stones are a Schedule Monument, English Heritage became involved. Their representative, Neil Redfern, has suggested moving the stones to the area in front of the Manor House. This move would, however, result in the stones being descheduled.

English Heritage would also like to see replica stones put in St Margaret's Park. Additionally there would be interpretative material about these and other stones on the Moor being made available both at the Manor House and in St Margaret's Park, together with a Heritage Trail linking the Manor House to the Moor.

Initial debate in the Town shows mixed feelings about the proposed move of the stones. These are Ilkley's stones and are of national / international importance. We are told it is for Ilkley to make the final decision, so if you have strong feelings on this issue which you have not already made known to the Dr Little Heritage Group, please let us have your opinion.
