Edwin Heathcote’s excellent article on new towns (The Weekend Essay, Life & Arts, September 28) omits the earliest new town project in England.
Established to support a massive infrastructure investment, which was paid for by a careful mix of state and private funds, it was a truly greenfield site project. Skilled craftsmen were hired from across the UK and overseas, training local people and leaving a legacy of key skills for future phases of development. The grid-format street system includes a large market square to provide a focus for retail and entertainment activities, a wide range of residential and living and workplaces which are all a few minutes’ walk from the commercial areas, and social housing projects for the sick and elderly.
The generous layout of the road system deliberately left large spaces inside the grid for leisure and kitchen gardens, storage, and future infill developments, and has been adapted to support many changes in transportation habits over the years.
Founded in 1220, New Sarum is now known as the city of Salisbury and the infrastructure centrepiece, its cathedral, is among England’s finest buildings.

I enjoyed reading the lunch with David Olusoga (Life & Arts, October 19), which left me with a far more balanced and comfortable feeling about racial perspectives in the UK and globally.
Picking up on his OBE, it’s surprising that such an award survives given its imperial echoes — Order of the British Empire. But why not change it to the Order of Great Britain (OGB)? Britain after all has become such a (relatively) harmonious multicultural and tolerant society, at peace with itself, despite its all too prevalent political inadequacies!

In David Olusoga’s Lunch with the FT, he argues that the search for “perfect figures creates this tension between what historians do and what politicians are offended that historians do” (Life & Arts, October 19).
Yes, and it’s the same in the sciences and medicine. Professor Anne Glover, then chief scientific adviser to the European Commission, reminded audiences that while scientists love uncertainty, politicians hate it.

The Clifton Suspension Bridge Trust are celebrating the prestigious award of Accredited Museum status by Arts Council England, a UK-wide benchmark recognising that the Trust meets the highest standards of management, education, care and access to their historic collections.
To celebrate the new Museum Accreditation status, the Trust is relaunching the Visitor Centre located on the Leigh Woods side of the bridge as the ‘Clifton Suspension Bridge Museum’ and unveiling a new brand.
Open to the public 7 days a week, the museum welcomes tens of thousands of visitors each year. Inside, visitors can discover objects from the museum collections and learn how the bridge was constructed and is maintained today. Free and ticketed tours run throughout the year, in addition to children’s activities for families and school groups.
The Museum Accreditation application process took approximately three years, during which time the Trust’s Archivist worked to ensure important documents, drawings, photographs and objects were properly catalogued, preserved and made accessible to the public. Many of the items can already be viewed online, with more exciting projects to follow before Christmas.
Bridge Master Trish Johnson said, “We are thrilled to announce Museum Accreditation for our heritage site. This award represents our commitment to preserving the rich heritage of our bridge. Ultimately, we aim to continue sharing captivating stories for present and future generations.”
Museum Archivist Dr Hannah Little added, “We are really pleased to achieve Museum Accreditation. While Clifton Suspension Bridge is familiar to many, our museum and its collections are less well known – these tell us how the bridge was seen, built and used in the past, enabling people to see Bristol’s famous landmark in new and different ways. It is important to preserve and share these objects and stories for the benefit of the public.”
