From Functional to Fantastic: new entrants for 2021 to SAVE's Buildings at Risk Register

Join SAVE Britain's Heritage for a special Buildings at Risk event. Liz Fuller, SAVE's Buildings at Risk Officer will reveal the highlights of our new entrants for 2021 to our national Buildings at Risk Register.

Over 50 new buildings suggested by conservation officers or brought to our attention by members of the public across the UK will be added to the register and we showcased the highlights at this online event.

The list contains a rich selection of historic buildings including a workers cottage in the industrial heart of Sheffield, a forsaken farmhouse in rural Lincolnshire, a charming sewage pumping station in Norwich, a half-timbered Neo-Tudor house in Cheshire and twin water towers in Somerset: our latest round-up of buildings in need covers everything from the functional to the fantastic.

Access to the full online register is available to Saviours and Friends of SAVE.

SAVE was the first organisation to launch a buildings at risk register in 1989, highlighting the many wonderful listed and unlisted buildings around the country in need of new owners and new uses. Our online register has grown to nearly 1,400 entries since it was launched in 1998. It is a vital resource for anyone interested in Britain's heritage and is an essential tool for prospective restorers. Please click here to go to the register.

LATEST CAMPAIGNS

Building of the Month November 2024: Ivy Cottage, Kelvin Grove, Liverpool

Ivy Cottage is a locally loved landmark building within the already famous ‘Welsh Streets’. Following SAVE’s major campaign in 2015 to revive the Welsh Streets, the streets were transferred to Manchester-based house builders, Placefirst, who have since undertaken the restoration of the neighbourhood with their heritage-led regeneration scheme. However, Ivy Cottage remains vacant and deteriorating having not yet joined the ranks of its surrounding neighbourhood as a restoration success.
