It's the time of year when SAVE updates/compiles the Buildings at Risk Register of mainly Grade II and or Conservation Area status Buildings at Risk in England and Wales.
Grade I and II* buildings are covered by EH, and grade II in London, although there are some I and II* on the SAVE BaR Register too.
A wide variety of threatened listed and unlisted buildings of historic and/or architectural interest is included on the SAVE list - mills, factories, a pithead baths, historic warehouses, churches, chapels, barns, cottages, stately homes, even the 1960's Gateshead 'Get Carter' carpark - the idea is to try to find a new owner and a new future for these buildings. It's not always an easy task, but compiling the register, giving these buildings publicity, at times pays off.
SAVE is particularly keen at the moment to find new buildings to appear in the 2006 printed BaR book, which will contain additional information, case studies of rescues etc which isn't in the on-line version (available to all Friends of SAVE).
CO's will be contacted as usual by SAVE. However. obviously they cannot be aware of all BaR in their areas, and so this is where some help would be appreciated.
If anyone knows of derelict, abandoned, needy or threatened interesting buildings which they feel could be included on the BaR, please do contact the SAVE office with as much information as possible (a picture would be useful, too).
Any information will be trated in confidence, attempts made to find more about the building via the local authority, and hopefully the Register can be increased in this way and needy buildings can be mated with potential rescuers!
