Due to urbanisation, energy conversion and the need for new roads and railways, our landscape of today continues to undergo profound changes. These changes increase the demand for real knowledge of the factors that gave that landscape its character. It is only when we are familiar with the site's history that we can make the right decision for the landscape’s future and wider social interest.
