| Abstract: | While the years of New Labour have been sometimes characterised as a golden age for culture, the first decade of the 21st century was a difficult time for heritage. Political policy and practice was at best indifferent and at worst hostile to the idea of English history and heritage. In this controversial lecture, Simon Thurley, who was at the helm of English Heritage through the period, looks back at what went wrong and assesses the future of the nation’s heritage. |
