List of Houses and Buildings of historic interest in Arnside:
A Register of Historical Interests is compiled by communities to protect important historical assets. In almost every case the asset is something man-made. As well as buildings, this can include archaeological sites and industrial sites, like the quarry at Trowbarrow in Silverdale, where the first tarmac in the world was manufactured.
