Bristol's vulnerable buildings have been put on a list designed
to protect them.
The
Bristol 'Buildings at Risk Register' brings together information
on all Grade I and II* buildings and structures in the city
known to be 'at risk' through neglect and decay. |
| Stokes
Croft carriage works is still on Bristol's at-risk list |

The
register should help council planners define and monitor the
scale of the problem of neglected historic buildings and monuments
in the city.
It contains details of 88 buildings or structures at risk
- some 2.2% of the total 4229 listed buildings in the city.
Of the 88 entries, 68 are buildings and 20 are structures
(monuments, walls, railings, tombs etc).
They include:
St Pauls Church, Portland Square (Grade I)
Arnos Vale Mortuary Chapel, Bath Road (Grade II*)
Clifton Observatory, Clifton Down (Grade II*)
Carriage Works, 104 Stokes Croft (Grade II*)
Since
the last survey, 10 properties have been restored or reassessed
as not at risk.
They include 51 Broad Street which has been restored into
new flats and a hairdressing salon and 14 Portland Square
which has been converted to flats and fully restored.
The
risk grade for each entry in the register is based upon the
English Heritage method of assessment.
The council stresses that inclusion in the register implies
no criticism of the owners of the building or the monuments
concerned, in fact many owners are actively seeking ways to
bring about their restoration.
The BBC's Restoration series for 2004 is launched on 30
April 2004.
