The other big problem of course is the overlap in the period dating so that if you search for Roman you get Prehistoric and Medieval etc.  As I understand it this is a wider problem with EH period list but I must admit this seems such a fundamental error I’m amazed that it remains as yet unsorted.

 

Sorry if all of this was discussed at the Swindon meeting.  My authority couldn’t afford the train fare!

Thanks for your comments. We are also planning to improve the location based searching in the NHLE and are hoping to be able to implement the CDP single text box prototype there at some point in the near future.

 

Best wishes,

I agree with this frustration!  I would also add that the same could be said for the National Heritage List for England; the Advanced Search in 'Location' presents the same problem!!!

 

Not very helpful!

Subject: Heritage Gateway: problems with District/Borough/Unitary Authority list

I spent around 5 minutes looking for Wolverhampton on the District/Borough/Unitary authority list on Heritage Gateway before remembering that it was under C for City.  If the HER Officer for the area can’t remember this, what chance has anyone else got?  Can I ask when this will be rectified?  It seems to me that this is the biggest current problem with Heritage Gateway and at a time when I am trying to demonstrate usage to my managers in order to ensure that they continue to pay the maintenance fee I feel that I am doing so with one hand tied behind my back.  Anyone from (the Cities of) Bristol, Derby, Kingston-on-Hull, Leicester, Nottingham, Peterborough, Plymouth, Portsmouth, Southampton, Stoke-on-Trent and Westminster agree?

 

Regards,

 

Mike
