This publication is particularly relevant if you are involved in agricultural buildings - and barn conversions in particular.

It is an excellent publication from English Heritage, 'Conversion of Traditional Farm Buildings: A Guide to Good Practice' by David Pickles, Senior Architect, English Heritage. The main issues are covered in detail, with good illustration of sensitive barn conversions.

If you are about to embark on a barn conversion project you could do no better than to consult this recently published guide

In the next issue of 'Enlighten' we will be including a slightly abbreviated downloadable C1/SfB file structure which Peter King RIBA (Chairman of the Rooflight Company) has developed to assist in the filing of PDFs and other product information in his own computer-based product library.

It is simply a structured place to put the product information you find useful - so you can find it reasonably quickly when you need it. It has word search facility also - to help in finding information when you cannot remember where you put it! 'I have found the structure useful and I hope you will too'. Peter King.
