Listed Building
In the United Kingdom, a listed building or listed structure is one that has been placed on one of the four statutory lists maintained by Historic England in England, Historic Environment Scotland in Scotland, in Wales, and the Northern Ireland Environment Agency in Northern Ireland. The term has also been used in the Republic of Ireland, where buildings are protected under the Planning and Development Act 2000. The statutory term in Ireland is " protected structure". A listed building may not be demolished, extended, or altered without special permission from the local planning authority, which typically consults the relevant central government agency, particularly for significant alterations to the more notable listed buildings. In England and Wales, a national amenity society must be notified of any work to a listed building which involves any element of demolition. Exemption from secular listed building control is provided for some buildings in current use for worship, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Burgh
A burgh is an autonomous municipal corporation in Scotland and Northern England, usually a city, town, or toun in Scots. This type of administrative division existed from the 12th century, when King David I created the first royal burghs. Burgh status was broadly analogous to borough status, found in the rest of the United Kingdom. Following local government reorganisation in 1975, the title of "royal burgh" remains in use in many towns, but now has little more than ceremonial value. History The first burgh was Berwick. By 1130, David I (r. 1124–53) had established other burghs including Edinburgh, Stirling, Dunfermline, Haddington, Perth, Dumfries, Jedburgh, Montrose and Lanark. Most of the burghs granted charters in his reign probably already existed as settlements. Charters were copied almost verbatim from those used in England, and early burgesses usually invited English and Flemish settlers.A.

Angus, Scotland
Angus ( sco, Angus; gd, Aonghas) is one of the 32 local government council areas of Scotland, a registration county and a lieutenancy area. The council area borders Aberdeenshire, Dundee City and Perth and Kinross. Main industries include agriculture and fishing. Global pharmaceuticals company GSK has a significant presence in Montrose in the north of the county. Angus was historically a province, and later a sheriffdom and county (known officially as Forfarshire from the 18th century until 1928), bordering Kincardineshire to the north-east, Aberdeenshire to the north and Perthshire to the west; southwards it faced Fife across the Firth of Tay; these remain the borders of Angus, minus Dundee which now forms its own small separate council area. Angus remains a registration county and a lieutenancy area. In 1975 some of its administrative functions were transferred to the council district of the Tayside Region, and in 1995 further reform resulted in the establishment of the un ...

Arbroath Town House
Arbroath Town House is a municipal building in the High Street, Arbroath, Scotland. The town house, which was the headquarters of Arbroath Burgh Council, is a Category B listed building. History The first municipal building in the town was the tolbooth which was built on the east side of the High Street using stones from Arbroath Abbey in 1686. It was rebuilt, after becoming dilapidated, in 1779. In the early 19th century, in the context of the growing importance of the town as a coastal port, civic leaders decided to procure a town house for the royal burgh on the west side of the High Street. Work started on the new building in 1803. It was designed by a local architect, David Logan, in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar stone and completed in 1808. It was altered and extended to the rear to a design by David Smith of Dundee in 1844. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with three bays facing onto the High Street; the central bay, which slightly projected for ...

Corn Exchange, Arbroath
The Corn Exchange is a commercial building in the Market Place, Arbroath, Angus, Scotland. The structure, which is now used as a public house, is a Category B listed building. History In the early 19th century, corn merchants conducted their trade in the open air in front of the Town House. However, as time went on, they were asked to remove their business to the rear of the Town House. The first market hall was a very basic structure consisting of a roof supported by iron pillars. By the mid-19th century, this arrangement was deemed inadequate, and civic leaders decided to commission a dedicated corn exchange on the same site. The new building was designed by Charles Edward of Dundee in the Renaissance style, built in ashlar stone and was completed in 1856. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of nine bays facing onto the Market Place. The central section of three bays, which was slightly projected forward, featured a round headed opening with voussoirs and a key ...
