BASA members may like to see the full list (attached) of historic sites and monuments associated with the history of the slave trade and abolition which have recently been Listed or had their Listed status upgraded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport following recommendations from English Heritage. We are grateful to all the researchers whose work has made this possible.
Previous Listings around this history can be seen on the EH website at www.english-heritage.org.uk/abolition.
You can also book for the new English Heritage walk “Equiano’s London” based on research by the blue plaques team which takes place on 28th October from this link.
English Heritage commissioned Miranda Kaufman to carry out initial scoping research on connections between the families who built properties in our care and the slave trade or abolition movement last year. The initial results are published in Conservation Bulletin no 58 pages 10-11 which can be downloaded free at http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/server/show/nav.11241 . Further in-depth research is now being planned.
