Falkland is very rich in historic and interesting buildings, many of them
Listed Buildings –
listed by HES for their special architectural or historic interest.
But it's not easy to find out about the listed buildings or even where they are.
The listing was mainly done in the early 1970s,
and many of the HES records refer to buildings by names that bear no relation to their current addresses;
one of the aims of this site is to locate our listed buildings and relate them to the current names and addresses.
This site was created to preserve and display the outcome of The Falkland Listed Buildings Survey,
launched in 2020 to capture information about our listed buildings, and Falkland's other historic buildings and structures.
During August 2020 volunteers from the Falkland Society delivered a leaflet to every listed property
within the Falkland Conservation area, and other buildings of interest, asking residents to tell us about their house,
giving details such as any previous names the building was known by, and who lived there before 1970
(a 50-year cut-off to protect the privacy of current residents).
The survey also aimed to cover special features of the building, for instance date stone, marriage stone,
original doors or windows, bread ovens, etc., and any other buildings or structures in the curtilage.
Starting on World Photography Day, 19 August 2020, volunteers have been taking photographs
(as seen from the street) of buildings throughout the town.
This site is a Wiki - that is, it uses the same software, and much of the same approach, as Wikipedia, but it's entirely independent.
As with Wikipedia, there are several ways to find information on this site.
