Stourport Civic Society - Unlocking Stourport's Past
This is a two and a half year project managed by Stourport Civic Society and funded by The Heritage Lottery Fund, Nationwide, The Countryside Agency and the Local Heritage Initiative. The Civic Society are acting in partnership with Worcestershire Historic Environment and Archaeology Service.
"Forgotten Stourport" has been made the theme of our Project which seeks to help update the historic record of the town by documenting and recording non-listed buildings and structures in the hope that this will give them some form of protection.
