Having contacted Sandwell HER for data today, I can report that the archive services person, who is responsible now for all HER data, does not seem to be up to speed (clearly through no fault of their own). If they are not able to talk to me about what I want from the existing database, the question has to be asked whether they will be able to augment it following work carried out in the borough.
I get the feeling that the view was all old stuff can be dealt with by archive services, regardless of the nature of the information. We will be relying I suspect more and more on the NMR for some parts of the country. Perhaps it is time for EH to take over HERs and run them, with monitoring at a district and county level continuing until that too is deemed unnecessary.
While it will probably continue to work where it already works, in those places where there is a desire to get shot of heritage bunnies BANG!!!
