	For this neglect and lack of appreciation, responsibility lay entirely with the times. Urban property needs loving and looking after, impossible without resources, materials and labour, skilled and otherwise. For the state of our historic areas no one was to blame; but the issue increasingly became one of public conscience. A major opportunity was open, but no one felt sure how to take it, or how to secure effective action. Or, indeed, whether the scale of such an obvious need could really and in practice be faced, tackled and met.		For this neglect and lack of appreciation, responsibility lay entirely with the times.

	It was in these circumstances that the four famous Historic Town Reports (on Bath, Chester, Chichester and York) were commissioned, with clearly expressed terms of reference to examine, recommend and inspire positive conservation and indeed (a magic new word) ‘enhancement’. For it was seen that continuing urban change is an irresistible force which one can not aim to stop, yet can positively guide.

	As in the other cities under observation, moving and static traffic and (just as important) pedestrian circulation were meanwhile analysed, inspired by the then-recent Traffic in Towns exercise, so influential at this period. Vehicle standing and parking were assessed, it being found that any attempt to provide the total desired facilities would remove the entire fabric and facilities which their drivers had travelled to enjoy. A particular urban-planning bane was recognised in the dubious priority given to traffic sight-lines at corners, all based on assumptions of un-stopping vehicles, but in effect also eroding some of the best and finest buildings.

	A major principle of the survey was always to consider the whole in relation to the part. With this in mind, the trading and commercial success of this and neighbouring settlements were set into perspective, both as they existed and might be expected to develop. Traffic movement similarly was studied in its relation to current and changing routes, first nationally, then regionally and then locally within the city. Throughout the exercise, the team was assiduous in testing out and benefiting from local people’s knowledge and opinion. Before any area and its buildings were surveyed in detail by perhaps alarming observers, good notice was given and the project explained by an advance secretarial scout. Public meetings were held, recorded and minuted, at which some very pertinent ideas were advanced and acted on.

	The conservation consultants were reappointed and made a recommendation – acted on by a responsibly minded city council – to appoint a contact person between public and planners. He was to become the forerunner of an entire new profession – the conservation officer (1). He was given a particular hearing in considering any public financial investment and assistance. Together with him, the consultants ran a regular weekly surgery as a source of ready information and public help. In addition, a series of regular progress meetings, chaired by Cyril Morris, the city’s director of technical services, was set up to give impetus and direction.
