As the Government
announce the headlines in the Comprehensive Spending Review, Rescue have launched the first version of their tool to map how these cuts are affecting your local heritage.
So visit the Rescue: heritage cuts map and remember to tell us about cuts near you. All posts will appear on this website, so keep following

Here is the link for the map... the link to inform of cuts is in the top right

OR... if you are feeling technophobe.... tell us here... and we will add it

The map shows that Grantham Museum is to close in 2011. Making this suggestion from the local MP particularly tasteless

I agree 'Good work Rescue' i will contact some local museums to see what there posistion is, I t will be really interseting to see what the spread looks like when the map filled in more, North south devided??
Archaeology is the peeping Tom of the sciences It is the sandbox of men who care not where they are going; they merely want to know where everyone else has been.

So is "Rescue" saying that there are grounds that these museums should not close down?

not sure that it has much to do with archaeology possibly some heritage something. I would have thought that anything with the slightest association to thacher would make you want to close it down. Why did she have to sell the council houses. If it had been me I would have given them away
