Abstract: In the current economic climate, with the uncertainty of Brexit looming (at time of writing), it seems appropriate to consider the effect of economics on heritage — in particular, to consider how heritage can, in fact, create value for developers in an age where the cost of owning a heritage asset falls on the shoulders of private individuals. This paper uses two case studies, the Bedminster Gym and the Miners’ Cottages, to illustrate how heritage can be used to create economic value, ensuring the long-term viability of the assets.
