Back in the office on Monday I noticed this conversation.
So did Peter Fowler, David (or whoever) come up with a definition of
their brave new term? It was on one of the Review agendas in Y2K for
what became Power of Place, but never made the published version.
I've always thought it was relevant to what we do as a group. Google
finds no definition of `historic+environment', but the attached search
on just `environment' include some generic elements. I thought the
World Bank version (about No 8) had a lot of what would be needed.
Does anyone have a favourite def of HE? - Brian

The term 'historic environment' was around in the early 70s. I used it
as the title for the Bedfordshire Structure Plan Aspect Report ('The
Historical Environment' - January 1974); I may have got the phrase from
Peter Fowler, but I can't immediately find a reference. In April 1974
the Bedfordshire SMR began a 23 year period when it supported and
benefited from the county-wide specialist advisory service, being used
as much for listed building and Conservation Area survey and casework as
for what much later became known as PPG16 stuff. Stephen's right about
the 1992 re-baptism:
perhaps we were slow off the mark, because it had been doing what must
be an essential hall-mark of an HER (however organised in these modern
electronic
times) for the previous 18 years.

Nick,
Not sure about the first published use of the term but the first Record
to use it as far as I am aware was here in Bedfordshire in October 1992
when our then Sites, Monuments and Buildings Record was officially
renamed the Historic Environment Record.

Hello folks
can anyone point me towards the first use of the term Historic
Environment Record - I think it was first mentioned in a speech, but the
first published use would be useful. Is it Power of place? or has it
been referred to earlier elsewhere? I need to know for my MSc
dissertation
thanks in advance
best wishes
