Historic England has published the 2017 Heritage at Risk Register.
The world’s oldest gasholder, a Hawksmoor church and ‘Little Dorrit’s church’, an 18th century Smock Mill and Brighton’s Royal Pavilion gardens designed by John Nash have now been classed as ‘at risk’
Bedlam Furnaces at Ironbridge, a former atomic bomb store, a bombed out church, J M W Turner’s retreat, and an entire conservation area have been removed from the list.
A total of 387 entries have been removed from the Register this year – at least one entry per day. 328 new entries were made, meaning a ‘net saving’ of important historic sites this year
In their 50th anniversary year, more than twice as many Conservation Areas were added (47) to the Register than removed (22).
