All boards will need to include acknowledgement of the funders involved. The aim of the Interpretation Boards is to enable the heritage of the building and the Town to be identified and explained and these will be expected to include four discovery routes which connect the past with life in Ross today: 1. Market pathway, centred on the Market House, telling the story of Ross as a market town from its origins in the 12th century to market trading today 2. Tourism pathway, telling the story of Ross as the birthplace of British tourism from the first organised tour in the 18th century to the present day 3. Hedgehog pathway, telling the story of the town's historic emblem and connecting to the plight of the hedgehog in the 21st century 4. Civil War / Monarchy pathway, telling the story of this Royalist stronghold during the Civil War We are open to creative and innovative ways of achieving this and welcome your suggestions. Suggested content for the interpretation boards will be provided. We would like you to specify the methodology you plan to use to meet the aims and objectives of the work. The Town Council would favour materials that are local/ethically sourced/recycled but that are durable and fade resistant.
