The Victorian Society (Vic Soc) is inviting nominations for the ‘Top Ten Endangered Victorian and Edwardian Buildings in England and Wales’ for 2016, with a closing date of 1 July.
Appearing in the ‘Top Ten’ focuses attention on neglected and threatened buildings and can help save them with benefits to the wider communities in which they are situated.
The Vic Soc writes:
Once again we are asking the public to nominate the Top Ten endangered Victorian and Edwardian buildings in England and Wales for 2016. Appearing in the Top Ten focuses attention on buildings and can help save them.
All the buildings or structures nominated will be considered by the Society’s architecture and conservation experts before the 2016 list of the Top Ten Endangered Buildings in England and Wales is announced on 14 September. Nominated buildings could be threatened by demolition, neglect or inappropriate redevelopment. The only criteria are that the buildings are in England or Wales and were built between 1837 and 1914. Please share our call for nominations on social media to help us hear about as many endangered buildings as possible. An updated campaigning guide accompanies this year’s search to encourage people to fight for the buildings they are concerned about.
To nominate a building contact the Victorian Society via email (media@victoriansociety.org.uk) or post (1 Priory Gardens, London W4 1TT) with brief details of the building(s) on or before Friday 1 July.
