Introduction This Local List of Historic Assets of Special Interest has been compiled in order to act as a planning tool. The entries within the list are the historic assets taken from the North East Lincolnshire Historic Environment Record, or HER, which require the greatest attention from developers and planning officers, among others, during the development process and regeneration schemes. Heritage assets are usually included in the list because they are the best of their kind in the authority; however some assets are included because of the contribution that they make to the character of the local area. By their very nature, buildings will make up the bulk of the list as they are the most visible of the historic assets and contribute greatly to the character of an area. Conversely, archaeological sites will be greatly under-represented on the list due to the difficulty in establishing the nature and extent of any individual assets without first excavating, particularly within the urban environment. Designed Landscapes, pieces of art and other assets are low in overall number and so will make up a minor part of the list; they are also the least likely to be affected by development. A Note on Sources The majority of the text in this document has been produced from scratch by staff in the Historic Environment Record. Where text has come from a single external source, every effort has been made to show that source in the text; however, the information on some assets, particularly archaeological sites, has been compiled from numerous sources and it would not be appropriate to list them all in a document such as this. In these cases, the reader is directed to the appropriate Historic Environment Record entries for further information and a list of the sources used to compile the information. Criteria for Listing General:
1a – The asset is rare or unique, in terms of the Borough, due to the period it represents, extent, architectural style or technological method of construction. 1b – The has the potential to contribute to our information on, understanding of, and appreciation of the Borough’s history and development. 1c – The makes a significant contribution to the historic character of an area and conforms to a Thematic criteria. 1d – The asset is part of a group of similar examples which, together, make a significant contribution to the character of an area or have the potential to provide high quality and/or quantity of historic environment data. Thematic: 2a – Assets which exemplify a previous character type in a settlement or area which retain sufficient structure to inform on the previous character. 2b – Assets which are/were essential infrastructure associated with the Docks and Railways that retain a good proportion of their original extent. 2c – Assets which form an integral part of the character of the Resort of Cleethorpes. 2d – Assets exemplify the rapid expansion, wealth or the major industrial and commercial activities of in the 19th and early 20th centuries. 2e – Assets exemplify the early development of Immingham and Cleethorpes from Villages and/or Hamlets into Towns. 2f – Post 1850s Urban Housing that retains the majority of its original structure, components and is of a high standard of design. 2g – Ecclesiastical, Manorial, Educational, Social and Agricultural assets representing the historic functions and practices of the towns and villages. Basic Requirements for Assets Buildings must retain the majority of their original fabric, external design style and character. Archaeological Sites must be definable in extent and origin and be likely to retain well preserved deposits. Designed Landscapes must be identifiable through aerial photography and at ground level. They must also be significant features in the wider landscape. Ship Wrecks and Historic must relate to the main industries of the Borough or form a group or loose association of assets. Memorials must commemorate events of national or significant significance and be of architectural or artistic interest. Complex Assets are not a category in their own right, but rather contain two or more assets of the above categories that should be considered interdependent on each other.
