The story of establishing the Edinburgh New Town Conservation Committee (ENTCC) is one of shared interests, growing technical skills, friendship and leadership which over the last 40 years saved Edinburgh's New Town from creeping decay. In this paper, Desmond Hodges, the first director of ENTCC, describes the setting-up of the body and how it operated until amalgamation as part of Edinburgh World Heritage in 1999; and John Knight, founder of the Fettes Row Association, tells the story of how the first major ENTCC project in that street was tackled and accorded a royal seal of approval.
