Great Ayton Community Archaeology Project Part 2 (Phase 2)
Location: North Yorkshire
This project will build on the success of archaeological research carried out in the first LHI project.
The group would like now like to investigate aspects of the built industrial and social history related to 3 sites in the project area. These are Levensdale, Aireyholme and Roseberry Topping and Ayton banks. Volunteers will be able to participate in researching for example the development of agriculture, the country house at Angrove, dialect poetry, early tourist literature and mining/mineral extraction and the way of life of the workers who manned these industries. This will involve oral history projects (with training from University of Teesside) and desk top/archive research.
The project will produce data for the SMR, leaflets to interpret features along 2 heritage trails (industrial railways, 2nd world war, Captain Cook's monument) a booklet, public presentations and material for local schools,.
