The work continues: July 2003 saw the publication by English Heritage of the thirteenth Register of Buildings at Risk in Greater London. There is one difference from the records of earlier centuries, however.The London BAR Register, like its twelve predecessors, records those listed buildings and scheduled ancient monuments known to be at risk from neglect, decay, under-use or redundancy with the specific intention of bringing their plight to public notice. Its success is undeniable: 90% of the buildings on the 1991 Register have since been repaired. Its track record in bringing historic buildings back from the brink is established – but the dereliction and under-use continue. This third edition of Changing London explores ‘Steadily, we are shifting the some of the success stories and the outstanding challenges in this important aspect of London life. focus of Buildings At Risk to It also looks beyond conservation and restoration preventing –rather than to active regeneration initiatives. rescuing – ruins.’ Delcia Keate Regional Adviser for Buildings at Risk.

  • Custodians for Covid, Theatres Press Release
    Oxford-based photographer Joanna Vestey and collaborator Tara Rowse have set up a bold fundraising initiative, Custodians for Covid, to raise funds for threatened arts institutions. Its first edition focuses on raising money for theatres currently in crisis due to the Covid-imposed lockdown. This includes world renowned theatres such as the National Theatre, the Roundhouse and the Young Vic. (L) Deborah McGhee, Head of Building Operations, The Globe. London, June 2020 © Joanna Vestey (R) Charlie Jones, Building Services Manager, The Royal Albert Hall. London, June 2020 © Joanna Vestey Vestey has produced a collection of 20 photographs, each featuring an affected London theatre, portraying the custodian who is charged with its care during this time of crisis. The photographs are being sold in limited editions to raise funds for each theatre. The target is to raise £1million in charitable donations for the 20 London theatres, amounting to £50,000 per theatre. Each image in the series features an iconic theatre space in which Vestey has highlighted a custodian. The custodian’s presence brings the setting to life and celebrates the often-unknown role of the guardians who continue to maintain these institutions. The series explores themes such as heritage, stewardship, identity and preservation, which feel even more poignant given the isolation so many are currently experiencing and the uncertainties so many face. The images are for sale through Joanna Vestey's website and build on her widely acclaimed series custodians, the first of which focused on the hallowed institutions of Oxford, together with the custodians responsible for them. The series was exhibited at the Venice Biennale, Oxford Biennale as well as published by and exhibited at The Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.
