Description: A pioneering social cost benefit analysis of historic building restoration.  The case study chosen was a derelict Grade 1 listed country house in Staffordshire.  Potential visit levels to the restored house were inferred on the basis of travel survey evidence at a similar Georgian house in Surrey.  The Clawson method was used to evaluate social benefits from restoration.  Costs were collected from a range of sources.  The paper was subsequently published in Contemporary Economic Analysis, ed. M.J. Artis and A.R. Nobay, London: Croom Helm, 1978.  The house has since been restored.
