Asking them what they think would constitute a 'heritage asset' might get them thinking - its certainly been challenging minds here! e.g. if a garden wall has traditionally been used for 70 years+ as the backdrop for institutional group photos (which have incidentally provided a marvellous photographic archive for the wall!), has it therefore in consequence developed a heritage value? It would also give them an insight into the more subjective aspects of the legislation, like the 'artistic' value', group value, rarity value, local/regional (so how big's the region?)/national importance, how long is a piece of string etc etc
[oh, the wall used as an example above is Listed Grade II anyway, but it might come up again]
