Don't Leave Me This Way: Buildings at Risk Catalogue 2019-2020
£10.00 (£8.00 Friends Price)
978-0-905978-79-6
SAVE has published a special 30th anniversary edition of its national buildings at risk catalogue for 2019-2020, Don’t Leave Me This Way. It marks 30 years since SAVE began issuing its annual reports on historic buildings in need. Still vitally important as a means of highlighting neglected buildings which are standing empty all around the country needing a use to be brought back to life, this year’s catalogue features over 100 forgotten buildings.
Read about a 16th century cruck-frame cottage in Gloucestershire, a tiny Georgian lighthouse in Lancashire, an Arts and Crafts library in Liverpool, a 1930s pub in Great Yarmouth, an abandoned farmhouse in Shropshire, a sports pavilion in Essex and a Cornish manor house with Poldark connections: some spectacular, some modest, all fascinating and in need. To inspire potential saviours, we also include a number of successful cases of restoration and we have articles focusing on the heroic work of Building Preservation Trusts, conservation work in the Greater Manchester area and the story of how unique coastal buildings in Jersey were converted to holiday accommodation.
