THE Victorian Society is asking the public to nominate threatened Victorian and Edwardian buildings for their list of Top 10 Endangered Buildings to be announced in 2025.

The Society’s Top 10 Endangered Buildings campaign highlights dilapidated and neglected buildings around England and Wales that are in desperate need of saving.

Griff Rhys Jones, president of the Victorian Society said: “The Top 10 Endangered Buildings list is coming up again. I urge you to consider nominating a building.

“We get publicity and genuine help for threatened heritage from it. We get attention. And we tend to get increased membership too.

“We have seen some extraordinary cases over the years. Some amazing buildings. The fight has to go on.

“We need in these straitened times of emergency growth to make an ever more cogent case for the value of heritage and the importance of informed recycling.”

In 2023, Carlisle’s Turkish Baths was included on the list of the most endangered buildings.

In September it was announced that the Turkish Baths will be handed over to a community group after a lengthy campaign.

The Turkish Baths, which first opened in 1909, closed their doors on November 12, 2022 after executive members of the former Carlisle City Council voted to close them.

Up until their closure, Carlisle Turkish Baths were the last still operating in the north west and one of only 12 left in the UK from hundreds built during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Conceived at the end of the Victorian era and built in the early Edwardian period, the interior of the Turkish Baths is decorated in a striking oriental style using coloured tiling and glazed faience by Minton Hollins of Stoke, with terrazzo flooring and marble bench tops.
