Historic England released its annual Heritage at Risk Register in November 2023, marking the 25th anniversary of publicly recording neglected or imperilled heritage sites. In total, there are 4,871 entries on the 2023 register, 44 fewer than in 2022. However, heritage sites continue to be added to the Register every year. In 2023 there were 159 new entries, made up of 44 buildings and structures, 53 places of worship, 55 archaeology entries, 3 parks and gardens and 4 conservation areas.

    Hi, just a note that the Stockton and Darlington Railway aren’t additions to the at risk register. The section in Durham County has been on the at risk register for some time it just that we have split the old single scheduled area into 4 new ones. We are making significant investment to the scheduled area over the next 12 months so hopefully this will help us with removal from the at risk register in the future.
