Residents are being asked to suggest buildings and streets in part of Lancaster city centre that can be celebrated for their historical significance.
Lancaster City Council is working with Lancaster Civic Vision to identify historic buildings and streets which could be celebrated through a green heritage plaque in the Mill Race area of the city.
It’s part of the Lancaster High Streets Heritage Action Zone programme which is funded by Historic England, the city council and other local partners, the aim of which is to revitalise the Mill Race area through both building and streetscape improvements and connecting people to its history.
Nineteen possible locations have initially been identified and the eventual aim is to install in the region of 10 plaques.
After they’ve been installed a trail and further information regarding each plaque will be made available to encourage people to visit and learn more about the area.

Closing date is 31st March.
Lancaster’s High Streets Heritage Action Zone aims to improve the appearance and appreciation of historic buildings in the Mill Race area. This part of the city has been shaped by the watercourse that runs through it, first providing water and powering mills in the area, and later bringing opportunities for trade, manufacturing and employment, which led to the development of businesses and housing.
A spokesperson for Lancaster City Council said: ‘’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 plaques in the Mill Race area. They can celebrate people, buildings, businesses, or historical events.’’
