Green Heritage Plaques - Mill Race High Streets Heritage Action Zone

Lancaster’s High Streets Heritage Action Zone aims to improve the appearance and appreciation of historic buildings in the Mill Race area. 

We need your help highlighting the people, buildings and stories that make this area special! We have identified 19 possible places where a green heritage plaque could be erected. We want to know which places you would prioritise, and hear your ideas for other plaques in the Mill Race area. They can celebrate people, buildings, businesses, or historical events. 

The Mill Race area has been shaped by the watercourse running through it, first providing water and powering mills in the area, and later bringing opportunities for trade, manufacturing and employment, resulting in the development of businesses and housing. 

This interactive map shows potential plaques, and the current 2 plaques which are already in the High Street Heritage Action Zone: www.lancaster.gov.uk/HAZplaques. We suggest you review this before completing the survey.
