"Griff Rhys Jones, the president of the Victorian Society, stated that it is a desolation that all 10 buildings are Grade II-listed, with two at Grade II*, meaning they already have protection. He emphasized the need to address the threats of decay and neglect to these structures."
"James Hughes, director of the society, remarked that the Tees Transporter Bridge is one of Britain's most remarkable feats of engineering and a defining landmark of the north-east. He stressed that its future cannot be left to uncertainty and a clear strategy is urgently needed."
The Victorian Society's annual top 10 endangered buildings list highlights structures at risk, including the Tees Transporter Bridge, a disinfecting station in Hackney, and a former working men's club in Barrow-in-Furness. All listed buildings are Grade II or II*, indicating they have some protection. The Tees Transporter Bridge, closed since 2019 due to structural issues, requires a £60 million repair bill. The society calls for a national strategy to secure the future of these historic sites and prevent further decay or arson attacks.
