Keeping warm without costing the earth
SARAH Lonsdale, reporter for the Telegraph, asks if it is possible for an average Victorian terrace to half its energy bills.
Architect Susan Venner’s has set out to prove she can reduce the environmental impact of her Victorian terrace home without compromising its style. Energy-efficient measures that Mrs Venner has introduced include underfloor insulation and newly fitted reclaimed flooring, laid on top of the original wooden floorboards to increase the installation. The reclaimed boards were from a gym at Loughborough University and found on an ad on SalvoWEB!!

New trendy Ashmolean and old-fashioned Pitt Rivers
Above: Pitt Rivers does look similar to how it did in the 1901 photo. Now the display cases are chock-full and the spacious-looking hall is crammed to the gunwales with stuff.
Above: Architectural spaces have been created at the Ashmolean but these are slightly disconnected from the exhibits. Here a load of unlabelled Chantrey plaster busts have been used as decorator items in a stairwell. Is that wrong? It is the modern way that salvage is used.
