Calver Weir Audio Trail

November provides another reason for inHeritage to remember the last month of autumn. The Calver Weir Trust have asked us to create an audio trail along the River Derwent between Calver Mill and Froggatt Bridge. News of our work on the Monsal Trail project reached the Trust who contacted us about creating a trail for them.

The Trust has recently secured a Heritage Lottery Fund grant to restore the historically important Calver Weir. As part of the project they are widening access to the area around the Weir, known for its wildlife and historic interest.

More information about the project can be found on the Calver Weir website - http://www.calverweir.org.uk.

Worcester Archives Source Project

We are delighted to be working with Worcester Record Office on a major project to create an exhibition for the opening of The Hive, a new landmark multi-use building in the centre of the city. 

We have been contracted to produce the exhibition including display panels, audio-visual presentations, a children's time detective's trail and a rogue's gallery. Material for primary school children is central to the exhibition so we will be working once again with Marvin Harding, artist for the inHeritage comics. The exhibiton will tell the story of The Butts, as known through documents and archaeological excavations in advance of building The Hive. It is both a celebration of the work of WASP and the opening of the building which brings together record office, archaeology services, public library and university library in one distinctive building.

Details of WASP can be found on the project website -http://www.worcestershire.gov.uk/cms/records/projects/wasp.aspx. The exhibition is scheduled to open with the building in summer 2012.
