Submit your Local Authority Guidance Here

Many local authorities produce their own guidance on a wide range of topics and English Heritage is keen to encourage sharing of knowledge and experience.

In 2004, English Heritage commissioned Oxford Brookes University to collate a database of local authority publications on the historic environment. An initial telephone pilot survey was followed by a comprehensive questionnaire survey. This information is now available on the HELM website, along with a summary report.

Currently Local Authority guidance is displayed as a searchable bibliography, with links to the authority website for contacts and to download guidance. We would like your opinion on this and if you believe it would be useful to download LA Guidance directly from the HELM website as well. Email us with your comments and suggestions.

To add your guidance to the HELM website. Please download and submit the LA Guidance HELM Questionnaire. We continually update this database.

London’s Historic Fire Stations
The emergence of an organised fire service in the 19th-century has resulted in a proud legacy of civic structures across London, often combining architectural elegance with functional efficiency. Instantly recognisable and highly cherished by the communities they serve, their historical and architectural interest has been recognised by many of them being designated as listed buildings. Although a number are no longer in original use, a good proportion still serve.
