Victorian Society releases their annual list revealing Victorian
and Edwardian buildings crying out to be saved. Marc Stchedroff,
Managing Director for OLBC comments on the issues faced by these
neglected buildings. “It is always sad to see such beautiful building
and extensive craftsmanship being allowed to decay. Unfortunately the
sheer scale and location of some of these Victorian masterpieces makes
them hard to repurpose. Added to that the complexity of the replicating
and restoring most of the architectural and interior detailing on such a
vast scale. However, any of them would make excellent training for a new
generation of traditional craftsmen and craftswomen for the Heritage
sector.”
