Calderdale's historic buildings and heritage under threat
A total of 29 places could be lost due to “neglect, decay or inappropriate development” according to Historic England who published its annual ‘Heritage at Risk’ register.
The programme is designed to paint a picture of the overall state of England’s historic places and identify those most in need of safeguarding for the future.

Hide AdDuncan Wilson, Chief Executive of Historic England, said: “The Heritage at Risk Register is an annual health-check of the country’s most special and vulnerable historic places.
"We can celebrate the fact that 387 historic sites have been saved this year across England by organisations and communities working with Historic England and want to thank all those who have cared for at-risk places, bringing them back into life and into use.
"From the volunteer bracken-bashers at prehistoric sites to the apprentices learning and applying traditional craft-skills to medieval buildings, this is a huge, collective labour of love and it is well worth it.
“But across England, thousands of fascinating buildings and places full of history are still at risk and in need of rescue.
