Over the last 8 months, the South Yorkshire Local Heritage List has had some really interesting nominations come in. It’s worth registering as a user on the site, if you haven’t already, so you can have a look them all! Although the majority are buildings, we’ve also had quite a few archaeological sites, commemorative monuments and parks, gardens & designed landscapes nominated as well, so there’s a great cross section of the heritage of South Yorkshire represented already. Despite this, there are still lots of places left to nominate and there’s no limit to the number we can have on the local list!

To give you a taster of a group of assets that has emerged from the nominations we have received recently, this blog focuses on Carnegie Libraries. These buildings can be found across the region and although they are connected by the circumstances of their construction, they represent the variation that can be found in a single category of public buildings.
