Social heritage
While the historic environment is formed by the interaction of humans with the landscape, the social heritage arises from the interactions of humans with each other. Central to the formation of this is the way we communicate, either using language or through music, art and literature. It includes the social history of people at work and at play, the importance of story telling and the development of an understanding of man's place in the world.
Much of the Dales' social heritage has been formed in the communities, both large and small, that are found throughout the Dales. As such, the image shows the Queen's Head public house in Litton - a hub of the community in the dale.
