Campaigning for New Life for Threatened Buildings
Join SAVE’s Conservation Officer, Lydia Franklin, for an insight into our campaigns both past and present to bring new life to threatened historic buildings of all types and ages across the UK, including Norfolk and Norwich.
This year, SAVE Britain’s Heritage celebrates its 50th anniversary. Join SAVE’s Conservation Officer, Lydia Franklin, for an insight into our campaigns both past and present to bring new life to threatened historic buildings of all types and ages across the UK.
This talk will reflect on some of our biggest victories including the rescue of the mighty Wentworth Woodhouse in South Yorkshire to saving 400 Victorian terraced houses in Liverpool’s Welsh Streets where Beatles drummer Ringo Starr once lived. It will offer a behind-the-scenes look into SAVE’s recent cases from the fight to save threatened mill buildings which could once again become a thriving part of their communities, to department stores now in need of new uses.
From Norfolk to Northern Ireland, this talk will consider in a national context the overwhelming benefits of reusing historic buildings, rather than bulldozing them.
