Derbyshire Historic Buildings Trust's approach to 17 Long Row, Belper

Derbyshire Historic Buildings Trust trustee, Barry Joyce, describes the approach the Trust took to 17 Long Row, Belper. In the 1980s the house was worked on under the supervision of Peter Knowles aided with advice and encouragement by two members of the County's conservation department (Barry Joyce and Marilyn Hallard). The completed scheme was fitted out with carpets and simple furniture and opened as a 'show home', manned by DHBT volunteers, for several weeks. This enabled the Trust to demonstrate, by example, that conservation was not only desirable in wider terms, but could be made to work and not leave people out of pocket in any way. The Trust also produced a 'how to' guide, giving advice on low-outlay conservation strategies etc. The Trust was awarded a Civic Trust commendation for their work.
