PEOPLE in Hampshire are being asked to nominate their Top Ten endangered Victorian and Edwardian buildings in England and Wales.

According to the Victorian Society, appearing in the list focuses attention on buildings and can help save them. Nominations close on Friday, July 1.

The Society has also published an updated campaigning guide to encourage people to fight for the buildings they are concerned about.

Last year’s list included the Tolly Cobbold Brewery in Ipswich, Ladywell Baths in Lewisham, St Luke’s Church in Wolverhampton, Madeira Terrace in Brighton, Birnbeck Pier in Weston-super-Mare, and Kinmel Hall in Wales.

Christopher Costelloe, a director of the Victorian Society, said: “We had a phenomenal response to last year’s top 10, no doubt helped by the support of our vice-president, Griff Rhys Jones. The future now looks much brighter for many of the buildings we featured.

“I hope people will once again scour their local areas to nominate buildings for our 2016 list. Focusing attention on neglected buildings, whether by inclusion in the top 10 or by using our new campaigning guide, can help save them, which in turn, benefits the wider community.”

To nominate a building, e-mail [email protected] or write to 1 Priory Gardens, London W4 1TT, with brief details of the building(s) on or before July 1.

All the buildings or structures nominated will be considered by the Society’s architecture and conservation experts before the 2016 list of the Top 10 Endangered Buildings in England and Wales is announced on September 14.

Nominated buildings could be threatened by demolition, neglect or inappropriate redevelopment.
