Tees Transporter Bridge and a former working men’s club in Barrow-in-Furness among sites at risk of decay or neglect
Teesside’s Transporter Bridge, a disinfecting station in Hackney and a former working men’s club in Barrow-in-Furness have been included on a list ringing alarm bells for Victorian and Edwardian heritage.
The Victorian Society has published its annual top 10 endangered buildings list, intended as a way of drawing national attention to at-risk places in England and Wales.
Also on the list is a secluded mausoleum in north Wales and an Essex house containing remarkable, little-known painted interiors by the artist Elizabeth Arkwright.
Griff Rhys Jones, the president of the Victorian Society, said it was a “desolation” that all 10 were Grade II-listed, with two at Grade II*, meaning they already have protection. They were all “under threat from decay or neglect”, he said.
