About England's Heritage

Anything related to England's Heritage.

For the time being I will use a slightly editted form of the Wikipedia definition of heritage:

Heritage refers to something which is inherited from one's ancestors. It has several different senses, including:
- Cultural heritage, a nation's historic monuments, museum collections, etc.
- Natural heritage, a nation's fauna and flora, natural resources, and landscape
- Tradition, customs and practices inherited from ancestors
- Birthright, something inherited due to the place, time, or circumstances of someone's birth

I'd like to try to make this more of a celebration of England's heritage - so too many pictures of urban decay and wheely bins won't go down too well! However, things like run down rows of terraced houses and derelict factories are definitely part of our heritage - so such things aren't excluded.

Very modern / recent things are probably not appropriate - we'll only know whether or not they have become part of England's heritage at some point in the future.

I'd be interested in other people's view on the subject of what should be included - please feel free to post in the group discussions.

Lots of pictures of the same thing are probably not good - pick the best and just post that!
