Several Peterborough landmarks are at risk of being lost forever, according to Historic England’s Heritage at Risk register.
The annual register provides a snapshot of the health of England’s valued historic buildings and places to ensure they can be protected for future generations to enjoy.
The first National Buildings at Risk survey covering the whole of England was published in 1998 and, since then, the programme has been widened to include other types of historic places and sites.
The Register identifies sites that are most at risk of being lost as a result of neglect, decay or inappropriate development.
Unfortunately, several Peterborough landmarks are included on the latest edition of the Register, released in November last year.
We’ve taken a look at six historic buildings in and around Peterborough that are at risk of being lost forever:
