Victorian Society wants to hear your nominations for historic buildings, like the Sheerness Boat Store

History enthusiasts are being asked to nominate their favourite endangered buildings across the county as part of a campaign to save them.

Every year The Victorian Society assembles a list of the top 10 endangered buildings in England and Wales, shortlisted by architecture and conservation experts.

If a building appears on the list, the publicity generated could help save it.

In 2015, the Grade I-listed Sheerness Boat Store was included on the list but still lies empty.

The disused building is the world’s earliest surviving example of the use of an all-metal frame and panel structure, following the demolition of Crystal Palace and the first Kensington Museum.

To nominate, contact media@victoriansociety.org.uk with brief details of the buildings and at least one photo on or before Friday, July 7. The new top 10 will be announced on Wednesday, September 13.
