A HERITAGE charity is asking residents in the North-East to nominate endangered buildings in the region.

The Victorian Society’s biggest annual campaign encourages people to name Victorian buildings in their area they feel are under threat, whether from neglect, insensitive redevelopment or even demolition.

Buildings placed on the shortlist list are given valuable publicity would could help save them.

Griff Rhys Jones, President of the Victorian Society, said: “Every day we walk past at-risk Victorian and Edwardian buildings and regret their unfortunate state, wishing there was something we could do to help.

"The Top 10 campaign is the perfect opportunity to do so. Nominated buildings which make the final list get valuable publicity which, as previous examples show every day, can be just the push they need towards salvation. So send in your nominations today.”

The Former Easington Colliery Junior School in Durham, which appeared on the 2007 list, is still standing despite many demolition attempts, though it is still falling into disrepair.

The Wesley Chapel in Hartlepool appeared on our 2014 list and despite successfully gaining planning permission to convert it into a hotel in 2009 and again in 2013, work has still not progressed and at the end of last year it was the victim of an arson attack that destroyed the roof.

Send your nominations either by email to media@victoriansociety.org.uk or by post to The Victorian Society, 1 Priory Gardens, London W4 1TT by Friday July 13.
