Extensive Urban Survey - Derbyshire

Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire County Councils launched a survey of small towns in the two counties in 1997 as part of the national EUS programme instigated and funded by English Heritage. In Derbyshire 22 small towns were surveyed to provide high quality data about the archaeological potential of the towns and their historical development for archaeologists and the local planning authorites. The reports utilised information from the county Historic Environment Record and a range of accessible secondary sources; no fieldwork was undertaken. The value of the reports for the identification of conservation areas and the preparation of conservation area appraisals has also been recognised. The project was carried out on behalf of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire County Councils who act as archaeological advisors and maintain the Historic Environment Records for the respective counties. The project was managed by The County Archaeological Officer for Nottinghamshire.
