The aim of the register, according to Historic England, is to ‘focus attention on those places in greatest need’, and help owners, heritage groups and stakeholders to come up with ways to save or repair the buildings. Here are some of the Lancashire landmarks on this year’s list...

Preston's Harris Institute, on Avenham Walk, is on the Historic England At-Risk Register.
