Great day today at Victoria Hall in Saltaire for the Yorkshire Heritage Exhibition! We had a wonderful time meeting new people and hearing more about brilliant projects happening across Yorkshire. #YorkshireHeritageExhibition

Recognising John Carr's outstanding contributions to Yorkshire architecture, this challenge invites schools to re-design the Stable Block’s imposing central archway and clock tower at @Wentworth_House. We can't wait to celebrate John Carr's 300th birthday - watch this space! 🎂

Did you know that this week is #NationalFeetWeek? 👣So, we thought this was the perfect opportunity to highlight some fabulous Georgian footwear from @YorkMuseumTrust! Which pair is your favourite?👠🩰🤔 CC BY-SA 4.0.

After supporting proposals to redevelop Grade I listed Bootham Park Hospital, built in 1770 by John Carr, we're disappointed the scheme has been dropped due to spiraling costs, and concerned about the future of these already declining buildings. Image: @yorkpress

The start of an exciting new chapter as @YorkGeorgianSoc look forward to working with our new president @iestyn_davies. Iestyn is as passionate about 'Baroque' architecture as he is music and we cannot wait to fully embrace our role as guardians of York's living heritage!!

Snuck into The Leeds Library today, founded in 1768 and seems not to have changed since. Full set of Pevsners too! @theleedslibrary #Georgian @YorkGeorgianSoc

Georgian delights today in #Harewood. John Carr of York designed the new estate village from 1760. It was completed by his assistant Peter Atkinson by the early C19. @YorkGeorgianSoc #JohnCarr #Georgian

Amazing news that the Leaves of @SouthwMinster have won the English Cathedral treasures competition with over a fifth of the votes! Do come visit :D englishcathedrals.co.uk/latest-news/ca…

@edwardjoyner But only big institutions like CoE or universities have the funding / expertise / intent to make change. And can lead others by example. A market-led economy and developer/site-led planning system means we can't choose the least harmful places. Got to by pragmatic, you nimby :p
