ForewordSince the end of the 1980s Nottinghamshire County Council has been carrying outcondition surveys of all listed buildings in the county. For the first time the details ofbuildings known to be at risk are published in the form of a catalogue available to thepublic. Parallel to this printed version, an online Buildings at Risk Register is beingdeveloped whose launch on the NCC website is expected in May 2005.The purpose of the Register is to raise awareness of the deteriorating condition ofmany listed buildings and to generate interest among members of the public andpotential restorers or investors. Nottinghamshire County Council has followed anapproach which has been successfully used by other counties and nationalorganisations like English Heritage, SAVE Britain’s Heritage and the Society for theProtection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB). The enthusiastic response to the 2003 and2004 BBC2 series ‘Restoration’ also highlighted the great public interest in historicbuildings and the practical problems relating to their funding and conservation, andplanning for their future.Nottinghamshire’s County Council Register has been compiled in close consultationwith the planning and conservation officers of the relevant local authorities, and everyattempt has been made to ensure that the details are up-to-date. We hope thathighlighting these vulnerable buildings can start or speed up the process of findingsolutions to secure their future. Many of the buildings featured have served a series ofuses over a long period of time. Appropriately maintained and sensitively occupied,most of them are capable of further long and useful lives for the benefit of present andfuture generations.April 2005Peter WebsterDirector of Environment

1. IntroductionNottinghamshire has over 4,500 listed buildings, structures and monuments. Whilst the greatmajority are in good condition, there are a number of buildings that have fallen into disuse,dereliction and disrepair, commonly referred to as ‘Buildings at Risk’ (BaR). To identify BaRand to monitor their condition Nottinghamshire County Council has been carrying out regularcondition surveys since the end of the 1980s. This publication compiles the results of thelatest survey carried out between 2000 and 2003 (with updates from 2004).The following pages give an introduction into how BaR are identified and how this Registerhas been compiled. It is outlined which and why historic buildings are at risk in Nottinghamshireand how they can be tackled. This is followed by a catalogue, which features properties at riskin order by district and location. For the sake of completeness we have included buildings atrisk in the city of Nottingham although their conservation is outside the remit of this authorityand subject to Nottingham City Council. Each entry specifies a possible use for the propertyfeatured. Indicated is the best possible use with regard to the preservation of the building.This does not mean that the building in question cannot be converted to other uses but thiswill depend on the scheme and will have to be decided on a case-to-case basis by the relevantlocal authority.The third part of the Register is concerned with the county’s monuments and structures at risk.Their conservation poses different questions to that of buildings. This section contains athematic overview introducing the different types of monuments and structures and the relatedconservation issues, followed by a list of structures known to be at risk. The publicationconcludes with some examples of buildings that have been successfully repaired in recentyears and examples of buildings, which sadly, have been lost.What is a Building at Risk?A Building at Risk (BaR) is a historic building that is vacant or under-used and suffering fromneglect and decay. The term usually refers to listed buildings or buildings that are part of aConservation Area.Listed buildings in NottinghamshireA listed building is a historic building that has been recognised for its special architectural andhistoric interest and included in a list of such buildings, which the Government compiles. As aconsequence of inclusion the building is statutorily protected, which means it cannot bedemolished or any alterations to it made without listed building consent from the local authority.Not only buildings are listed but any structure ‘artificially erected, constructed, put together, ofa certain degree of size or permanence’ can be protected. A listed building therefore can beanything from a large country house to a small bollard. It should be noted that a building orstructure that is attached to or within the curtilage of a listed building will, in most cases, alsobe protected.Listed buildings are classified into three different grades, which indicate their relativeimportance: Grade I (one), Grade II* (two star) and Grade II (two). Buildings of Grade I are themost important, nationally significant examples. Grade II* are the next most important and willoften have some element of national significance. Grade II listed buildings make up the majorityof listings; they are of exceptional local importance but, individually, they are not of nationalsignificance. If a historic building is not listed this does not mean that it has no merit whatsoever.- 1 ­

It might be of local importance. Nottinghamshire County Council along with some localauthorities do compile lists of ‘Buildings of Local Interest’.Fig. 1 Two examples oflisted buildings inNottinghamshire: Thelarge 19th century countryhouse Thoresby Hall andthe late 18th century castironmile post at theGrantham Canal nearKinoulton.In total there are 4,535 list entries for Nottinghamshire (including Nottingham City), of which150 are Grade I, 200 are Grade II* and 4185 are Grade II. This number is by no meanscomprehensive since it relates to entries in the list rather than to individual properties. Anentry might comprise a single house, a terrace of cottages, a farmstead with severaloutbuildings, or a pair of gatepiers. Nottinghamshire County Council holds a database whichlists properties and buildings individually, including many ancillary and curtilage buildings.From this, the total number of buildings that enjoy statutory protection in Nottinghamshire canbe estimated close to 6,000. In addition to that there are 255 buildings recorded to be of localinterest. These numbers were correct at the time of going to print, but are subject to slightchanges either when buildings are added to the list, re-graded or removed.District Grade I Grade II* Grade II Total by DistrictAshfield 2 3 75 80Bassetlaw 42 53 968 1063Broxtowe 5 10 129 144Gedling 7 14 164 185Mansfield 3 10 231 244Newark &Sherwood45 57 1283 1385Nottingham 11 30 747 788Rushcliffe 35 23 588 646Total 150 200 4185 4535Table 1 Number of listed buildings for Notts by local authority and listing gradeWhy produce a Register?The aim of this Register is to raise awareness of the problems relating to historic buildings atrisk and to prompt the owner or members of the public to take action to get these buildingsrepaired and secure their long-term future. In some cases the fate of a building could simplybe turned around by changing ownership and, where appropriate, the Register might help tofind new owners able to repair a BaR. For this purpose we distinguish between buildings thatare habitable, potentially habitable, or which could have some other beneficial use, andmonuments and structures, which cannot be occupied. The latter are dealt with separately ina Thematic Overview (pp. 167-177).- 2 ­

The Register will help Local Authorities, English Heritage and Building Preservation Trusts toset priorities for planning and financing building work. It is also the intention to use the Registerto persuade funders to make money available at the county and local level.What buildings are included in the Register?The Register includes buildings that have been identified as being ‘at risk’ by using a set ofnational criteria devised by English Heritage, the government’s advisory body on heritage inEngland. A risk level is determined by assessing the condition of a building and whether it isoccupied, or in use (see Fig. 2). Only the risk level 1 – 3 indicate buildings to be ‘at risk’ andin need of some immediate action to prevent further deterioration or collapse. Also includedare some buildings considered to be ‘vulnerable’ but not yet ‘at risk’ (risk level 4). Usuallythese buildings are in a fair but deteriorating condition, and are either vacant or only partiallyoccupied.ConditionOccupancyRisk Level1. Very Bad0.

The letter ‘A’ refers tostructures and monuments, which cannot be occupied. Their Risk Level is calculatedaccording to condition only.Most of the properties featured are primary listed buildings – that is to say they are clearlyidentified in the listing description. In addition, we have also included buildings that are attachedto, or within the curtilage of, a listed building. For example, Oaks Farm barns and sheds inGreasley (Broxtowe) are ancillary buildings to the Grade II listed farmhouse (Fig. 3). Number11 Eldon Street in Tuxford (see p. 58) is not a listed building but it occupies a prominentposition within a conservation area and is also a building of local interest. An exceptionalentry is the site of the former Annesley Colliery (p. 18), where half of an entire conservationarea has become at risk.- 3 ­

Fig. 4 Oaks Farm in Greasleyshowing the relation of the listedfarmhouse and the curtilagebuildings that are at risk.Every effort has been made to produce a comprehensive list of all buildings at risk in thecounty. Exceptionally a building was omitted from the Register because publicity might affectcurrent negotiations with the owner over its repair. However, these cases are kept underannual review and, if negotiations are unsuccessful, might be included in the online registerat a later point in time.When is a building taken off the Register?Buildings will be removed from the Register once they have been repaired and are occupiedor occupation is imminent. Buildings that are in the process of conversion and repair aretechnically still considered to be at risk and be kept on the Register.What are the reasons for historic buildings being at risk?There are some typical causes why buildings can become neglected and disused, and oftenmore than one factor is involved:• Redundancy - The building may no longer be suited to the function for which it wasoriginally designed or is currently used for.• Ownership - The owner lacks the means to keep the building in good repair. Someowners choose not to keep their building into a good state of repair, others refuse tosell it at a price that reflects its actual condition.• Location - The building lies within the curtilage of a larger building and/or accessproblems prevent a change of ownership. A building might also be seriously blightedby its surroundings, for example, if it lies within an abandoned industrial area, or aneconomical deprived area.• Economic - There is a disparity between the cost of repair and the end value of abuilding once repaired.- 4 ­

How can districts/boroughs ensure that buildings are being repaired?Listed building owners have, by implication, a responsibility to keep a building in a reasonablestate of repair. There are a number of statutory powers available to the local planning authorityto enforce the undertaking of works if a building falls into disrepair. These powers are usuallyemployed as a last resort when attemps to encourage and to work in co-operation with theowner have failed.Where there is an immediate danger to a building the local authority can carry out emergencyrepairs following an ‘Urgent Works Notice’. The costs of these repairs can be re-covered fromthe owner. Urgent works are usually just a temporary measure, for example, to make thebuilding secure against the elements or vandals, or to prevent it from collapsing. Where abuilding is left to deteriorate the local authority can serve a ‘Repairs Notice’. These identifythe work required to ensure a building’s survival and also specify a timescale within whichthese repairs have to be carried out. After two months if the owner has not taken any actiontowards the building’s preservation the local authority, The Secretary of State or EnglishHeritage have the powers to compulsory purchase the building following the serving of a‘Compulsory Purchase Order’. The owner will be forced to sell at a price that reflects theactual condition agreed by the district surveyor. The authority can then repair the buildingthemselves. In most cases, however, the building doesn’t remain in public ownership but ishanded on to a private individual or body, which has the funds to carry out the necessaryrepairs.What help is available for owners of buildings at risk?The full implication of the listing grade of a building becomes obvious when it comes to grantaid.Only Grade I and Grade II* buildings and Scheduled Ancient Monuments may qualify forfunding from English Heritage. Thus the great majority of BaR in Nottinghamshire are inelegibleas they are only Grade II. However, some of the districts run their own schemes for the repairof listed buildings or townscape improvements, and within these BaR are usually given priorityfor funding. For further information on existing grant schemes see Appendix 2.2. Historic buildings at risk in NottinghamshireThe 2001/2004 condition survey of historic buildingsBetween 2001 and 2004, Nottinghamshire County Council conducted a condition and alterationsurvey of all listed buildings in the county. The aim was to update the records produced in1991 and 1995, so that any listed building in a poor state of repair could be identified, and theoverall situation compared with the results of previous surveys. The BaR survey was conductedusing a form based on a format introduced by English Heritage in the 1980’s. This has beenadapted through the years to meet the requirements of the Council’s conservation staff, andconsists of a single sided form that is used to record:• The building use and type;• The building’s condition, occupancy and risk status;• Alterations to the building’s features.The assessment of each building was based on a visual external inspection only. Due tologistic practicalities inspections were usually not prior arranged with the property owners.- 5 ­

Where no owner or tenant was present to provide access and permission, the survey wascarried out only by viewing from public land if possible. In these cases the status of theproperty during the previous survey was taken into account when assessing the risk grade.The survey attempts to be as extensive as possible and to include any structure which iscovered by the listing status of a property, including ancillary or curtilage buildings. Due to thescattered location and access difficulties, however, some of these might inevitably have beenmissed. In cases where a single listing covers more than one built structure or property, forexample a terrace row, each unit was assessed individually. Also included in the survey werebuildings of local interest and buildings of merit within a conservation area. The results of thisextended survey, comprising 5980 records (in comparison to the 4535 primary listed buildings)are compiled in Table 4, which details the number of buildings, monuments and structures atrisk by type of use.Of the 4535 listed buildings in Nottinghamshire 333, that is 7.3%, were identified as being atrisk. Comparing the results by district, Bassetlaw followed by Newark & Sherwood have thehighest number of BaR (27.3% and 24.3%; see Table 2). This reflects the fact that these arethe two largest districts with the highest number of listed buildings. Comparing the number ofBaR with the number of listed buildings of each individual district it is in fact the smallerdistricts, that have the highest rate of BaR. In Broxtowe 16% of the Borough’s listed buildingsare under threat, followed by Ashfield (13.8%) and then Gedling and Bassetlaw, both with8.6%.Analysing the records of the Notts County Council BaR database (see Table 4), which alsocomprises ancillary and curtilage structures, the situation for the county can be summarisedas follows:• Ancillary structures, i.e. walls, gates & railings, outbuildings, make up 26% of all buildingsand structures at risk. One in every ten is at risk.• Agricultural buildings i.e. barns, stables, cartsheds, make up nearly 25% of buildingsand structures at risk. Over a third of this building type is at risk.DistrictNo of ListedBuildingsNo of BaR% to No ofListed Buildings% to overall Noof BaRAshfield 80 11 13.8% 3.3%Bassetlaw 1063 91 8.6% 27.3%Broxtowe 144 23 16.0% 6.9%Gedling 185 16 8.6% 4.8%Mansfield 244 16 6.6% 4.8%Newark &Sherwood1385 81 5.8% 24.3%Nottingham 788 51 6.5% 15.3%Rushcliffe 646 44 6.8% 13.2%Total 4535 333 7.3% 100Table 2 Number and percentages of BaR by district- 6 ­

• Due to the large number of listed dwellings domestic records i.e. cottages, lodges,houses make up 14.2% of the BaR but as a type they have one of the lowest rates ofBaR (i.e. 2.1%).• Over one fifth of garden landscape features e.g. urns, garden terraces, fountains, areat risk. They make up nearly 10% of all listed buildings and structures at risk.• Commemorative records i.e headstones, tombs, statues, make up 7.7% of the buildingsand structures at risk.• Although there are only two industrial extraction buildings at risk, this accounts for100% of this listed building type in the county (i.e. Bestwood Winding Engine & ClipstoneHeadstocks).• Nearly 44% of Nottinghamshire’s power related buildings (i.e. windmills, watermills)are at risk.• 33% of buildings used for storage are at risk.• Nearly a third of Nottinghamshire’s manufacture and processing statutorily protectedbuildings are at risk.• Nearly a quarter of all utility buildings (such as Victorian water and sewage pumpingstations) are at risk.• One in every nine transport related listed buildings are at risk.How does the latest survey compare to previous surveys?Two previous surveys of the listed buildings in the county have taken place, one published in1987 and the other in 1993. They provide the opportunity to compare the situation regardingbuildings at risk in the county over the last 20 years or so. Table 5 below shows that generallythere were fewer buildings at risk across the county in 1983 (293) compared to 1993 (474)and 2004 (333). This is largely due to the fact that at that time there were far fewer listedDistrict No of BaR in 1987 No of BaR in 1993 No of BaR in 2004Ashfield 19 10 11Bassetlaw 78 126 81Broxtowe 13 18 21Gedling 6 16 14Mansfield 26 30 42Newark &Sherwood65 122 79Nottingham 63 110 51Rushcliffe 23 42 44Total 239 474 333Table 5 Number of BaR in 1987, 1993 and 2004 by district- 8 ­

uildings. Many buildings only became listed during the late 1980’s when the whole countrywas re-surveyed.It is also clear that today there are fewer listed buildings recorded at risk than there were 10years ago. Since 1993 half of the districts show a reduction in the number of BaR (Bassetlaw,Mansfield, Newark and Sherwood and Nottingham), one area has remained static (Gedling)and three districts have seen an increase in numbers (Ashfield, Broxtowe and Rushcliffe).Even though the number of listed buildings has stayed almost constant since 1993, at justover 4500, there are now 100 fewer BaR than there were then. This represents an improvementin real terms of a reduction from over 10% of the listed buildings of the county being at risk in1993 to 7.3% at risk in 2004.How does Nottinghamshire compare with the BaR situation nationally and regionally?There are no nationally available figures covering all listed buildings. English Heritagepublishes a register annually but this covers Grade I and II* listed buildings only. The 2004register indicates that the East Midlands region has an average percentage of 4.3% GradesI and II* BaR. The figure for Nottinghamshire is 5.7% while the national average is 3.5%.The only other county in the region which publishes a BaR Register is Derbyshire (seewww.derbyshirehistoricbuildings.org.uk). It has 282 BaR recorded representing 5.9% of thetotal stock of 5,933 listed building. Nottinghamshire has 7.3% of its 4,535 at risk, so then,against our immediate neighbour to the west, Nottinghamshire does not compare well.What are the main threats to buildings in Nottinghamshire?Historic Buildings become at risk for a variety of reasons. In essence, the situation inNottinghamshire reflects the BaR situation both regionally and country wide. In general terms,an inhabitable or usable building is less likely to become at risk than a monument or structurewhich is not capable of occupation. Of those that have been identified as being at risk 52%are monuments and structures and 48% are buildings capable of economic or beneficial use.Looking at BaR by type the number of commercial or domestic properties that are at risk isvery low (0.9% and 2.1% respectively of all listed buildings of this type).Redundancy accounts for most buildings becoming at risk. It is usually not this factor alonebut also neglect that affects a building once it has become vacant. Agricultural buildingsmake up the highest numbers of buildings under threat in the county. Changes in farm practiceshave caused traditional farmbuildings all over the country to become under-used or whollyredundant and uneconomical to maintain. Of the 245 recorded agricultural buildings 87 are atrisk, that is 35.5% of this type. To this, a great number of outbuildings belonging to farmsteadshave to be added, which have been recorded within the category of ‘Ancillary Buildings’. Thiscategory makes up a further 26% of all BaR.In the 19 th and 20 th centuries Nottinghamshire’s economy was dominated by the textile andcoal mining industries, which left a rich built heritage. Today, most textile mills and extractionsites are redundant, many of which are of social, cultural and historic significance. Despitethe importance and extent of coal mining in Nottinghamshire its building heritage is greatlyundervalued. Many of the sites have been reclaimed with the headstocks, powerhouses andancillary buildings demolished. All the three colliery sites in Nottinghamshire that enjoy statutory- 9 ­

protection are at risk, two of them are under threat of immediate demolition (i.e. AnnesleyColliery, p. 18 and Clipstone Colliery, p. 100).In Nottingham City over the recent years a considerable number of former lace factories andwarehouses have been converted to other uses, some of them very successfully. For example,the restoration and conversion of the Adams Building, a former textile factory, lace warehouseand salesroom, to a college, has been a starting point for the regeneration of the Lace Marketarea in the heart of the city (see Fig. 5). For another large mill site, the former Anglo-ScotianMills in Beeston (pp. 67/68), a long-term solution has been agreed. Some buildings howeverremain at risk even though the fate of others in the near vicinity has been turned around. TheGreat Northern Warehouse within the Boots Island site off London Road in Nottingham (p.140) has been at risk since 1983 and remains so despite the fact that the nearby Low LevelStation, which was also a long term at risk building, has been succesfully converted to a newuse as a commercial gym. Elsewhere in the county there are other large scale problems suchas Bath Mill in Mansfield (p. 88), which has changed hands on a regular basis over the past20 years and its condition progressively worsened throughout this time.Even for domestic properties scale can become a risk factor. Some of the county’s greatcountry houses and associated outbuildings have been persistent problem buildings, such asAnnesley Hall, Ollerton Hall, Berry Hill Hall and Debdale Hall outbuildings in MansfieldWoodhouse. The threat of redundancy and dereliction to this building type has been anationwide problem since the 1940s.Long-term neglect is not isolated to large buildings where scale is the major hurdle, the tinypair of Gatehouses at Drakeholes in North Nottinghamshire (p. 26) have equally evadedsolution for over twenty years even though they could be repaired at a reasonable cost. TheRegister highlights a great number of buildings which, due to their small footprint, do not lendthemselves easily to conversion. An important part of the early industrial heritage ofNottinghamshire are the many framework knitters workshops; relics of a once thriving frameworkknitting industry in the East Midlands. Located mostly to the back of houses they are nowredundant, and it has proven to be difficult to find any viable use for them.In a rural context there are a great number of windmills and dovecotes under threat of whichthe catalogue features several examples each. Of the latter, 32% of this building type areunder threat. Dovecotes were built from medieval times as a way of breeding pigeons for thepurpose of supplementing the diet, especially in the winter. They are small, often two-storeystructures of various shapes. Some of them are located free-standing in a field. To give theman economic use they would need to be extended, which can hardly be achieved withoutseriously compromising their character.Things are far from perfect. Despite considerable efforts on the part of conservation officersthere are some high profile and particularly difficult buildings at risk that continue to avoidsolution. In all these cases of long-term at risk buildings, the solutions are invariably hamperedby a determined and un-cooperative owner, the impracticalities of reuse, planning constraintson new uses and a general reluctance of those with influence and power to give priority tosaving buildings at risk.- 10 ­

3. Tackling buildings at riskConservation lead regenerationIt is clearly good news that there are now fewer buildings at risk in Nottinghamshire than therewere 10 years ago. However, it is not so positive to see that the county fairs badly againstnational, regional and local indicators. But statistics alone do not fairly illustrate the truepicture. In fact the positive affects that historic building conservation has had in Nottinghamshireover the past decade are obvious for all to see. Accordingly to English Heritage there hasbeen a ‘revolution’.It is true that Heritage lead funding in key areas such as the Lace Market and Canal Side inNottingham and the Riverside in Newark has produced clear evidence of the positive outcomesof conservation lead regeneration. By the end of the 1980’s these high profile areas containeda number of the county’s long term buildings at risk, including key landmarks like the BritishWaterways Buildings (one on the Riverside in Newark, the other alongside Nottingham Canal)and the Adams Building in the Lace Market. In each of these cases it was the repair,refurbishment and reuse of these ‘problematic’ buildings at risk that proved to be one of themajor catalysts in creating confidence in the potential of these areas. The hundreds of millionspounds of developer money subsequently invested into the surrounding areas was a directresult of this initial injection that came through key conservation projects.Fig. 4 The Grade II* listed Maltings at Newark Riverside before and after repair andconversion. These are mid 19th century mass concrete buildings, one of the earliestexample of this construction type. Fire damaged and long-term BaR they were convertedby British Waterways in the late 1990s to become their regional offices. Therestoration of these buildings has acted as starting point for further regeneration of theriverside.The Heritage Lottery Fund, English Heritage and Local PartnershipsHeritage funding has pump-primed the regeneration of many important historic areas overthe years through area based grant aid programmes. These are run by local authorities withpartnership funding from the County Council, English Heritage and the Heritage Lottery Fund.All of the lottery funded schemes have had an end use with specific community value and assuch the voluntary sector has been the major partner in many high profile schemes. In additionthe economic value of undertaking the refurbishment and repairs has injected much neededrevenue directly into the local economy through direct employment of contractors. This andwider economic benefit through the attraction of new businesses into an area are not easy tocalculate but English Heritage research has shown that for every 10,000 pounds of heritagefunding a further 45,000 pounds of private investment is generated directly 1 .- 11 ­

The Heritage Lottery Fund has over the past 10 years invested over 16.5 million pounds InNottinghamshire districts plus a further 21.7 million pounds into Nottingham based projects 2 .This money alone has benefited the county to the tune of 305 million pounds over the past 10years, add to this the economic value of other heritage grant aid from English Heritage, localauthorities and partners, the financial benefits are in the region of 320 million pounds forNottinghamshire. Recent research from America by their Bureau of Economic Analysis hascreated calculators for establishing the real impact of conservation activity on the local economyin the US. There is a growing view that this type of monitoring is also applicable in the UK. Inwhich case if we apply the US calculators to the known financial investment in conservationactivity in this county (as a rough guide only) the results indicate that the total economicactivity that comes from the 320 million pounds invested is in excess of 2.5 billion pounds.This may sound like an unrealistic claim, however, this figure is based on the evidence thatevery penny invested in conservation projects generates economic impact in the followingways:• New jobs – the restoration and repair of historic buildings has generated many new jobsto fulfill the need for certain skills. Craft and trade skills are still in short supply but businessesare being encouraged to take on apprentices with renovation projects in mind.• Improved individual household income – the refurbishment of buildings is labourintensive with more of the overall cost of a project being spent on labour than materials.The evidence shows that conservation projects are more labour intensive than new builddevelopment or even the manufacturing industry. Restoration tends to employ localcontractors who subsequently provide local shops and businesses with revenue.• Tourism – heritage tourism is big business, some of the most successful heritage attractionsin the region are in Nottinghamshire (Newstead Abbey, Clumber Park, Ruffford Abbey,Southwell, Nottingham). The East Midlands region attracted more than 3.4 million visitorslast year who generated over 10 million pounds worth of revenue.Fig. 5 The Adams Building is one ofthe most impressive buildings inNottingham’s Lace Market. It was builtin 1855 to designs by the Victorianarchitect Thomas Chambers Hine andnamed after its owner Thomas Adams.The monumental building started lifeas a textile factory, lace warehouse andsalesroom and the layout incorporateda library, classroom, tearoom andchapel for the workers. By 1995 thegrade II* listed building, along withmany other buildings in the area, hadfallen into serious disrepair.In 1996 a £7.75 million Heritage LotteryFund grant was secured enablingrestoration work to begin. The factory now serves as a popular college campusfor New College Nottingham. The project is seen by many as the catalyst forurban regeneration in the Lace Market district, now a desireable place to bothlive and work.- 12 ­

• Encouraging small businesses and enterprise - the fastest growth area in business isIT and these tend to be small businesses of 20 or fewer employees. In total, smallbusinesses make up a substantial part of the country’s GDP. Converted historic buildingsprovide the type of floor space that these businesses require. Historic building conversionstherefore encourage small businesses into the area and these then generate and bringadditional revenue with them.• Creating capital assets – repaired historic buildings represent an enormous asset.. Theynot only account for much of the added value that surrounding areas experience whenregeneration occurs but they also have their own intrinsic value. In addition, they providelong-term revenue through their maintenance and management requirements. This revenuegoes to local trade’s people and generates local economic activity and buoyancy.(For source material see www.ihbc.org.uk/context_archive/84/rypkema/economic.html)Working for a sustainable futureThe economic benefits of conservation lead regeneration are considerable, but there areother non-financial outcomes. These include instilling a sense of pride in our local places,improving security, providing education and information about our past and, more often thannot, engendering a feeling of community spirit.Re-using the historic building stock is also inherently sustainable. It requires considerablyless investment of environmentally costly new materials to convert an old building than itdoes to knock it down and replace it with a new one. As we try and halt global warming, thereis an increasing awareness that retaining and reusing the existing stock of buildings makesgood sense. Instead of throwing away a building by demolishing it we should consider all ofthe embodied energy they contain and try and save and reuse it. Embodied energy includesall of the environmental impacts that creating the materials and transporting them to siteinvolves. Throwing this away and replacing it with new is equivalent of using at least twice asmuch energy as for refurbishing.3In need of a little helpWith all of these things in mind some local authorities have in the past run their own historicbuilding grant schemes for owners of listed and historic buildings. Newark and SherwoodDistrict local authority are the only area presently offering this type of grant. The funding hasoften meant the difference between a building being properly repaired and becoming, orremaining, at risk. Outside of these special conservation run grant schemes the owners ofthe majority of listed buildings have nowhere to turn to for financial aid. Despite this, for manylisted building owners there is a strong sense of belief in, and commitment to, doing their partfor our nation’s heritage by keeping their buildings in a good state of repair. There is a shortsection later in this Register showing some of the success stories of the past decade whichillustrate the power of conservation focused investment by owners (with and without grantaid) to make a positive difference to the historic environment.Facing the challengeIt is clear that a great deal of very positive conservation has been undertaken in the countywith visible results and this will continue so long as the Heritage Lottery Fund, English Heritageand public and private financiers provide the financial input it needs. However, it is fair to say- 13 ­

that despite the successes of the last decade the contribution of listed and historic buildingsin the local scene is all too often taken for granted. It is an unfortunate fact that the localauthorities charged with monitoring and enforcing legal responsibilities to ensure the properup-keep of listed buildings find it difficult to do so and there continues to be owners withoutthe desire or capacity to maintain their buildings. It is unsurprising then that despite the powerexisting to enforce repairs to listed buildings, as well as unlisted buildings of importance inconservation areas, this is rarely enacted.There are many locally important historic buildings, which could technically have been includedin this list, had time and resources allowed. Instead the thousands of unlisted historic buildings,monuments and features that contribute so much to the county’s historic villages and townshave been left out of this register.Those who believe in the importance of retaining the built heritage of their area in a fit andproper state should take the opportunity of the publication of this register to raise the issuewith their parish council and local elected members. Inevitably a lack of resources results inprioritising, but it is quite clear that the successful conservation of historic buildings hasenormous potential to save, transform and enhance the places where we live, work and visit.So in answer to anyone who might wonder ‘what can I do about it?’ we suggest the following:• Adopt a building at risk today;• Organise, or get involved in, a campaign to save a building at risk or other heritageassets;• Show support for conservation, encourage your local officer and vote for moreresources to enable more to be done.1English Heritage ‘Heritage Counts - State of Englands Historic Environment 2004’, p. 92English Heritage ‘Heritage Counts – State of the East Midlands Historic Environment 2004’,p. 193Notts County Council ‘Sustainable Developer Guide 2004- 14 ­

Monuments and Structuresat RiskThematic OverviewThe vulnerability of a building tobecoming at risk has much to do withits function. This section of the reporttakes a look at Nottinghamshire’slisted structures and monuments thatare at risk, highlighting some of theissues faced by the different types.Image above: Pair of chest tombs at St Michaels (Bramcote); image opposite:Bracebridge Pumping Station (Worksop) before repairs were carried out in 2004; imageoverleaf: Ruinous church tower (South Wheatley).- 167 ­

Religious Ruins and Medieval MasonrySome of the most difficult Buildings at Risk to deal with are ruinous structures, whichwere already in a state of ruin when listed. In Nottinghamshire many of these areformer church buildings, former monastic buildings went out of use during thedissolution (such as the cloister remains at Worksop Priory) or the remains of parishchurches that were abandoned due to falling population (St Mary’s Colston Bassett).Ruinous structures are usually unsuitable for re-use. Often the amount of alterationwork needed to bring a ruin back to being a functioning building would be damagingto its character not to mention incredibly expensive. The most sensible course ofaction is therefore often to maintain the structure as a ruin. In these cases it isessential to put into place a management strategy, which helps with the maintenanceand continuous monitoring of the condition .Water ingress also poses a large threat to ruinous structures. When water finds its wayinto masonry it may freeze in cold weather, and this expansion then puts pressure onthe structure. In some cases it may be necessary to cap the vulnerable sections toprevent this.Of the sixteen structures in Nottinghamshire that are listed as ruins, ten are classed asbeing at risk. Two more are seen as being vulnerable. Only four are not at risk, theseare all sites maintained to some degree as visitor attractions. This means that only aquarter of all listed ruins are being properly maintained.Images clockwise from top left: St Mary’s (Colston Bassett), Haughton Chapel, Detail ofChurch Tower (South Wheatley), Remains of Beauvale Priory (Greasley), Cloister Remains(Worksop), Remains of Triple Lancet Window (Thorney).- 169 ­

Tombs, HeadstonesTombs, headstones and memorials account for732 of the 6172 individual records onNottinghamshire’s Buildings at Risk Database. Insome cases one record has been allocated to alarge collection of graves. Most of the listedheadstones are found in Rushcliffe, where thecrafting of slate headstones was a local industry.• 30 list entries highlight tombs, headstonesand memorials to be at risk. Of thesethe entry for the site at Kinoulton alone inlcudes35 headstones which are considered tobe at risk.• A further 115 are recorded as beingvulnerable.• In total, nearly 20% of these structures areconsidered to be at risk or vulnerable.Tombs and memorials make up the majority ofthose at risk in this category. Problems range froma lack of regular vegetation clearance tovandalism. As some of the pictures show,subsidence can also have an effect, on chesttombs the uneven pressure causes the structure todistort. These maintenance issues all lead todeterioration of the masonry, which is expensive torepair.When it comes to repairs there is a question ofresponsibility. Up until the late 1970s graves werebought in perpetuity. They remain in ownership ofthe family of the deceased whose permission isneeded to carry out any repairs. Simple- 170 ­

and Memorialsmaintenance measures are exempt from this andwhere health and safety is at risk, for examplewhen a gravestone becomes unstable, the LocalAuthorities can take immediate action.Often, however, permission for repairs is difficultto get, simply because the relatives of thedeceased cannot be tracked down. They might bedead or have moved away. As a result of thissituation the number of gravestones, tombs ormemorials that are neglected is high.For the Authorities the next issue is funding. In thecase of the classical revival mausoleum atMansfield Cemetery, Nottingham Road, forexample, the works needed to repair the structureand to re-instate the dislodged pediment wouldcost more than is provided for in the budget for therepair and maintenance for the whole site.Images in anti-clockwise order from top left: Fragmentof a slate headstone found in grass, chest tomb withmissing panels (Langar), ivy clad chest tomb(Cotgrave), damaged slate headstone, two views ofleaning and damaged headstones (Kinoulton),memorial with missing urn (Holme Pierrepont), row ofchest tombs at St Oswald’s (East Stoke), mausoleumat Mansfield Cemetery, overgrown railed tomb(Darlton).- 171 ­

Garden LandscapeAlthough many of the great country houses ofNottinghamshire have been lost (Clumber) or leftin ruin (Rufford) many of the parks and gardensassociated with these houses still exist. In the areaknown as the Dukeries into the North of the county,which includes Clumber, Rufford, Welbeck,Thoresby and Worksop Manor, there are a wealthof listed garden structures. To these we can addAnnesley Hall, Newstead Abbey and a host ofsmaller country houses.The range of garden structures across thecounty includes ornamental items such as urnsand hard landscaping such as garden terraces.Due to the trend for creating follyies, that becamepopular in the mid 18th century, parks andgardens are also dotted with architecturaloddities. Garden structures presented theopportunity for architects to experiment, away fromthe popular style of the day. Examples include thecommemorative pyramid at Thoresby or theclassical temples which are to be found atClumber, Norwood Park and Wollaton.Unfortunately a large proportion of theseimportant structures are indicated as being atrisk. In the cases of the large estates priority isoften given to the repair and maintenance of themain buildings. But the problem does not seemisolated to anyone particular ownership type.Garden structures at risk within Nottinghamshireinclude some owned by the council and theNational Trust as well as many in privateownership.- 172 ­

and Street FurnitureThe items of street furniture that are at risk, suchas historic lamp posts and guard stones are in acommon situation to garden structures. Wherethey are on a private estate with many other listedbuildings they are given lesser funding priority. Theitems that are not on estates, for example, milestones, and the village crosses in North Muskhamand Holme all seem to be at risk due to thecomplexity of ownership and identifyingresponsibility.• In all there are 38 listed garden structuresclassed as being at risk which makes up21.5% of the structure type.• A further 67 listed garden structures areconsidered to be vulnerable, 38% of thestructure type• There are ten items of listed street furnitureand utilities at risk. This makes up 6.3% ofthe structure type.• There are 35 items of listed street furnitureand utilities that are considered to bevulnerable, this makes up a further 44% ofthe structure type.Images in anticlockwise order: Circular garden building(Oxton), monumental base for missing urn (Thoresby),monumental well (Ossingon), base for missing sundial(Ossington), garden terrace (Annesley), damaged castiron lamp post (Perlethorpe), urn in three pieces(Rufford), remains of water pump (Upton), erodedgarden urn (Rufford), 14th century spire top (BurtonJoyce) , village cross (North Muskham).- 173 ­

IcehousesIcehouses were developed in the 18th century and were built by the wealthy to storeice for refrigeration. They usually consist of a tunnelled entrance leading to a deep pit.This chamber is covered by a brick dome with earth piled above. Ice cut from a nearbypond or lake in the winter would be placed, wrapped in an insulating layer of straw tobe stored for use in warmer seasons. Some were still in use well into the early 20thcentury.Out of the seventeen listed icehouses in the county nine are recorded as being at riskand a further 8 are considered vulnerable. Only two are in a good state of repair, bothof which now serve new uses.As these buildings are of such as specific, utilitarian design, it is not always feasible tocreate a new use. Of the two in use one has been maintained and is involved in theinterpretative scheme at Rufford Country Park (The Major Icehouse), the other hasbeen transformed into a garden building by suspending a floor over the pit.Icehouses are usually to be found in the grounds of country houses and problems aregenerally caused by encroaching vegetation, especially root damage from treesgrowing above.Images clockwise from top left: Debdale Hall Icehouse (Mansfield Woodhouse), icehouse torear of Gateford Farmhouse (Worksop), Minor Icehouse at Rufford Abbey, icehouse atWiseton Hall, icehouse at Thoresby Park.- 174 ­

BridgesOut of 116 listed bridge structures in the county 11 are classed as being at risk.Generally these fall into one of the following categories: disused railway bridges(Bennerley Viaduct, Awsworth), canal/towpath overbridges (Clarkes Bridge,Kinoulton), or mill footbridges (Rolleston). As with many other countiesNottinghamshire suffered from closure of local rail routes, but also with the closure ofpits many mineral lines are now redundant. This is a similar story to the canals ofwhich there are three notable routes running through the county: The Grantham andChesterfield Canals and the Nottingham Canal. The development of railway networksin the 19th century saw a fall in the usage of canals for transporting goods, leading to avirtual abandonment of many stretches.The Chesterfield and Grantham Canals have in recent years seen investment fromBritish Waterways to bring them back into use as a leisure facility. These canals runthrough some of Nottinghamshire’s most pleasant scenery and have become popularlocal amenities. British Waterways has its own Buildings at Risk program with ongoingmaintenance and repair works on the listed structures.The Bennerley and Torksey Viaducts are two of the most impressive listed bridges inthe county. In fact, the Bennerley Viaduct only survived prior to its listing because of theimmense cost involved to dismantle it; the structure was therefore left to remain. Thesetwo bridges may also have a future in the leisure market. They are now managed bySustran (Sustainable Transport) , who would like to include them in the National cyclenetwork.Images clockwise from top left: Clarks Bridge (Kinoulton), Bennerley Viaduct (Awsworth),Footbridge at School Lane (East Stoke), Lady’s Bridge (Wiseton), Swansea Bridge (Trowell).- 175 ­

Boundary Walls and GatewaysDuring the course of the survey it became apparent that walls, gateways and railingswere constituting a significant number of the listed structures at risk.Walls and gateways are problematic as they can require considerable levels of costlyrepair while they do not represent any economic benefit for their owners. This isapparent by the fact that out of 555 structures covered by listing 77 are classed asbeing at risk. This makes up about 14% of the stock.Generally, there seems to be a lack of awareness that walls, gates and railings can becovered by the listing. This may be contributing to the lack of maintenance in somecases. Conservation problems tend to stem from un-renewed pointing leading towater ingress and inappropriately carried out repointing causing deterioration ofstonework and spalling of bricks. In these cases an owner has invested considerablesums of money only to make the problems worse.Several areas have been identified from the survey results as having a large amountof boundary walls in need of attention, amongst them Southwell. The red brick andstone walls that line the streets make a large contribution to the character of the town.A separate survey of all these walls in Southwell’s Conservation Area, some of themindividually listed, some of them curtilage structures and others unlisted, indicated that29 boundary structures were at risk or considered to be vulnerable.Images clockwise from top left: Medieval Gateway (Rampton), railings at North Road House(North Muskham), detail of Medieval Gateway (Rampton), wall at Honing House (Southwell)and wall at Rampton Prebend (Southwell).- 176 ­

PinfoldsPinfolds are walled enclosures for holding straying livestock. They are a type ofNottinghamshire’s vernacular built heritage that due to changes in farm and village lifehas become entirely redundant. Whereas in the past nearly every village would havehad one, they have now mostly disappeared. Only eleven examples survived in acondition good enough to receive listing status.Pinfolds have an impact on village character as they are often located centrally. Theyare built simply and in the vernacular materials of the locality and so range from brickto various types of stone.Pinfolds were usually in ownership of the parish or manor. The fines that were givenout by the pinder for retrieval of animals or other offences would have paid for theirupkeep. Now, without grant aid or fund-raising, it is unlikely that these structures aregoing to attract the resources needed.The issues are generally the same as any other structure but the lack of directownership leads to a lack of regular care. Out of the eleven listed, two are at risk.Although only a small number, this represents 15% of the county’s finest pinfolds.Further to this only four are actually in reasonable condition, so the majority arevulnerable to becoming at risk very easily.Images clockwise from top left: Pinfold at East Leake (vulnerable), pinfold in Flintham (not atrisk), pinfold in Scarrington (vulnerable), pinfold in Grassthorpe (at grave risk), pinfold inEpperstone (at risk).- 177 ­

Saved BuildingsThe rescue of Buildings at Risk canbe a challenge, though as thefollowing pages show, most buildingshave the potential for beneficial reuse.The completion of the re-surveyprovides the opportunity to highlightsome of the buildings that have comeoff the register.Image: Manor House (North Leverton), before and after restoration.- 195 ­

Fullwood Farmhouse, Sutton in Ashfield (Ashfield)Before (above)After (below)Fullwood Farm is a double pile farmhouse dating to around 1700, this makes it one of theoldest surviving buildings in the Sutton in Ashfield area. It is built of brick with a steeply pitchedslate roof and has coped kneeler gables that are typical of this area of Nottinghamshire.In 1997 the Farm and its ancillary buildings were vacant and decaying. By the time of the2003 survey a scheme for the restoration of the house and conversion of its curtilage buildingshad been carried out.- 196 ­

New Farm, South Leverton (Bassetlaw)Before (above)After (below)The New Farm site consists of the listed farmhouse and stable, barn and pigeoncote, alldating back to circa 1790. The buildings are vernacular in style, built in red brick with pantileroofs and dentillated eaves.The site was one of a number of listed farmsteads in South Leverton that had become vacantand had deteriorated to a particularly bad condition. Parts of the barn were on the verge ofcollapse by the time of the 1991 survey.Between 1991 and 1992 a scheme was agreed to renovate the farmhouse and convert thebarn and pigeoncote to domestic use. Although conversions of this nature can radically alterthe character of agricultural buildings, the scheme has ensured the future safety of a group oflong standing buildings at risk.- 197 ­

The Old School House, Tuxford (Bassetlaw)Before (above)After (below)The Old School House is located close to the centre of Tuxford’s conservation area. Thebuilding dates to the early 19th century and is render over brick with pantile roofs and distinctivetudor arched openings and gothic glazing bars.In 1991 the building was recorded as being at risk. Having had little maintenance over theprevious years the former school house was boarded up and vacant. It had last been used asa sunday school although it had always had a domestic use as well.Negotiations on the reuse of the School House were successful and in 1997 work commencedto renovate the building as a private residence. The works included replacing the twentiethcentury casement windows in the central gable with exact reproductions of the original gothicstyle casements.- 198 ­

Villa at Anglo-Scotian Mills, Beeston (Broxtowe)Before (above)After (below)The Anglo-Scotian textile mills occupy a large site close to Beeston town centre. The site wasdeveloped in 1886 following the trend for the lace industry to move out of cramped sites in thecity of Nottingham to surrounding areas. The former factory and warehouse buildings play animportant role in the local townscape.Amongst the industrial buildings on site is also a Victorian villa, which is a rare survival fromthe site’s pre-industrial past. All of the buildings on this site have been semi-occupied andvacant for a number of years.In 2004 a scheme was agreed which will see the refurbishment of the listed factory buildingsand some of the curtilage buildings (see pp. 67/68). The developers have already createdthe site offices in the villa.- 199 ­

Bestwood Pumping Station (Gedling)Before (above)After (below)Bestwood Pumping Station was built between 1871-74 and is one of several fine examplesof this building type in Nottinghamshire. The Venetian gothic revival style building with its 172foot tower can be clearly seen from the main A 60 road making the building something of alandmark. The listed structures on site include the pump house, two lodges, the landscapedornamental cooling pond, several cast iron lamps and boundary walls.The site had been vacant and boarded up for some years before the Healthworks Co boughtthe site. Since 1997 the pumping station and grounds have undergone a £2m conversion toa restaurant and health club complex.- 200 ­

White Lion Yard, Mansfield (Mansfield)BeforeAfterWhite Lion Yard consists of a long narrow courtyard surrounded by two listed buildings ofMansfield stone. To the west is the building known as the White Lion Inn (last used as an innin 1904), which had suffered extensive damage when the rockface at the rear collapsed in1994. To the east side is a two storey building where roof timbers have been dated backto1584. Both buildings were vacant or semi occupied and were considered to be at risk.A feasibility study commissioned by Mansfield District Council recommended a scheme toinclude public access through the yard, an exhibition space promoting a heritage trail andoffices, as well as cafe or restaurant facilities to encourage further public access to the caveson site.After an investment of around £610,000 works were completed, which saw therecommendations of the study fulfilled, and the buildings are now fully renovated and in avariety of use. The reinstatement of a stone staircase, the remains of which had beendiscovered during the project, was also included.- 201 ­

Boughton Pumping Station (Newark and Sherwood)Before (above)After (below)Boughton Pumping Station comprises a collection of fine Edwardian buildings built by theNottingham Water Company and located close to Sherwood Forest on the NorthNottinghamshire Coalfield. By 1980 the Monumental ‘Blackburn’ Engine House had becomeobsolete and the site was suffering from long-term lack of maintenance. This was exacerbatedin 1988 by mining subsidence.After an Urgent Works Notice was served in 1990 by the district council on the owners, SevernTrent Water, a working party was formed by the district and local parish councils, SevernTrent Water and the Rural Community Council. A scheme was eventually found to convert thesite into a business centre, comprising function and conference suites, high quality officespace and workshops as well as visitor facilities.The cocktail of funding secured included a ‘Rural Challenge Prize’, money from the EuropeanUnion and a grant from the National Lottery. By the 2002 survey the pumping station workswere complete and the site was being run by a charitable trust.- 202 ­

Greet House, Upton (Newark and Sherwood)Before (above)After (below)The imposing facade of Greet House can be seen on the road between Southwell and Upton.Formerly a Workhouse, this building at risk was saved by the National Trust. The Grade II*house, built in 1824, is a building of national importance, yet by 1997 the site was vacant anddecaying. During the 20th century buildings that were important to the original design andplan of the workhouse had been demolished.The National Trust purchased the building just weeks before it was likely to be sold forredevelopment as luxury apartments. Building restoration began in early 2000 with repairs tothe roof and windows. Since then a full restoration has been carried out including the reinstatementof demolished buildings, walls and privies.This major project cost a total of £4.5m, £2.25m of which came from the Heritage LotteryFund, the rest from donations and fundraising. The Workhouse recently topped a regionalvisitor attraction award.- 203 ­

Bunny Hall, Bunny (Rushcliffe)Before (above)After (below)Bunny Hall is a large country house rebuilt in 1720 by its owner, Thomas Parkyns, to his owndesigns. Thomas Parkyns was an eccentric figure known as The Wrestling Baronnet and thisis reflected in the unusual style of the Grade I listed building.The building had stood empty for many years and had featured on the English Heritage BaRregister. By the time the current owner purchased it many of the windows were broken, someinternal features had been stolen and there were some structural issues caused by excessivedamp.The building is now coming to the end of its restoration and has been taken off the listaccordingly. This has been partially funded by using some of the land for an enablingdevelopment of six detached houses, but means the Hall stays intact as a large family home.- 204 ­

Stable Block and Animal Pen at Easthorpe House,Ruddington (Rushcliffe)Before (above)After (below)Formerly the stable block serving Easthorpe House including a circular animal pen datingback to the early 19th century.These ancillary buildings had been vacant for some time and both the stable block and animalpen were in a state of disrepair.A scheme to convert the stables to domestic use was carried out successfully in 2004. Therepair and preservation of the animal pen was included in the scheme.- 205 ­

Lost BuildingsThe Buildings at Risk survey provides thenatural opportunity to take a look at changesto the fabric of Nottinghamshire’s BuiltHeritage. Unfortunatley some of thesechanges include the loss of a number of thecounty’s historic buildings. The followingpages show a selection of these andillustrate the reasons for loss.Image: A former shed at Annesley Colliery (Annesley), vandalised and illegally demolishedin 2004; image opposite: Detail of Colwick Manor Farm (Colwick), see also p.85.- 207 ­

Annesley Colliery Buildings, AnnesleyThis collection of pit buildings at the site of Annesley Colliery (some of which date to the late19th century) have recently been illegally demolished. Annesley was the oldest working pit inthe county when it closed in 2000 and the site was subsequently designated a conservationarea. Not all buildings were individually of architectural interest but as a group they had ahigh heritage value in industrial archaeology terms.Stable at Grange Farm, MarnhamThis red brick and pantile stable range datesfrom the early 19th century. They are part ofa listed range that includes two unusualcovered crewyards.In the resurvey the crewyard was noted asbeing at risk. In the course of repairs beingcarried out it was discovered that the stablerange behind had been partially demolishedafter the roof structure had given in after astorm.Sundial in Churchyard at OssingtonThis Ashlar sundial dated 1812 consistedof a vase baluster stem on moulded baseand bronze dial.In the re-survey it was noted that only themoulded base was in situ. Furtherinvestigations unfortunately revealed thatthe object had been stolen. Structures inisolated positions, like this, are extremelyvulnerable.- 208 ­

Service wing at Dalestorth House, SkegbyThis late 18th century wing to DalestorthHouse had been at risk since its listingdate. The building was demolished by thetime of the first Buildings at Risk survey inthe county.As the picture shows, there were somestructural issues and the building waspartially unroofed.Although the demolition was carried outlegally it is highly unlikely that a building likethis would gain consent for demolition today.Summerhouse at Dunham House, SouthwellThe early 19th century gothick summerhouseat Dunham House had been at riskin 1991 (date of photos).Lack of use and maintenance had contributedto the structures vulnerability and onrevisiting the property in 2002 it was foundto have collapsed following a storm.61 - 65 High Street, Sutton on TrentThis late 18th century group of cottages wasa long standing problem. It was awkwardlylocated to the rear of a late 20th centuryshop building, restricting its potential forreuse. The building was deemed to be adangerous structure.No scheme was found to secure its futureand in 2004 permission was granted for anapplication to demolish.- 209 ­
