By listing buildings and protecting wrecks, battlefields and monuments, we can safeguard our history for future generations to enjoy as well. With an extra 240 places added to the list this year, I’m pleased to join Historic England in encouraging everyone to get out and explore our shared heritage this Christmas.\u201d<\/p>\n Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay <\/p>\n \u201cThe variety of listings this year illustrates the rich diversity of our shared heritage and the importance of everyday places \u2013 from an Edwardian Bank to a London cab shelter, to a 19th century watermill \u2013 that make up the fascinating fabric of our past. Places like these create distinctiveness and make us proud of where we live. Listing recognises their value so they are protected for the future and everyone can continue to enjoy them. In England, 99% of us live less than a mile from a listed site and the festive season is a great time to find out more about the historic places on our doorsteps. We\u2019re inviting everyone to help Enrich the List, by sharing their knowledge and pictures of listed places to help expand our shared understanding and perhaps even unlock some of the secrets of the past.\u201d<\/p>\n
