Historic pubs are not simply commercial buildings. They are part of the social infrastructure of towns and cities, places where memory, association and community life accumulate over generations. Our latest article examines how communities across Britain have protected pubs like the Railway Bell through heritage campaigns, cooperative ownership, grant funding and organised civic action. Featuring reflections on the work of Jane Jacobs, Lewis Mumford and Anne Minton alongside real examples of successful preservation movements. conserveconnect.news/saving-… #Heritage #PubPreservation #RailwayBell #BuildingConservation #CommunityOwnership #HistoricPubs #UrbanHeritage #JaneJacobs #LewisMumford #Conservation

Major roof repairs completed on a Grade II* listed property — including structural works, new coverings, parapet walls, lead gutters, and dormer cheeks. Carefully conserving historic buildings for future generations. #BuildingConservation #ListedBuildings #owlsworthconservation

For more than four years, F&T has represented adjoining owners with various leasehold and freehold interests for Party Wall Matters at 21 Arlington Street, during major redevelopment works at the iconic Ritz Hotel. The project included the demolition of a 1970s office building which stood at 22 Arlington Street, followed by the construction of a substantial hotel extension featuring six levels of basements. Our role has involved collaboration with the project’s design team and specialist consultants to ensure the protection of the neighbouring Grade II* listed building. This process has included negotiating multiple Party Wall Awards in line with each development phase, advising on licences, assisting with the redrafting of a development deed, and agreeing means-of-escape arrangements. With the majority of the works associated with the Party Wall Awards now finalised, only a few remaining matters are scheduled for completion later this year as the Ritz Hotel works draw closer to conclusion. #fandt #buildingconsultancy #charteredsurveyors #architects #partywallmatters #dilapidations #rca #cdm #bsa #projectmanagers #contractadmin #buildingconservation #ppm

An enriching and insightful Day 2 of the ongoing course on Saving Modernism unfolded with a detailed focus on the deterioration, evaluation, and corrosion of concrete in modernist structures. Experts Mr. Sandeep Sikka, Ms. Pamela Jerome, and Ms. Gina Crevello shared detailed insights on the causes of concrete degradation and the critical importance of timely assessment and maintenance. Case studies and best practices were presented to help recognize early distress signs and apply effective preventive measures. Participants gained hands-on experience at the Chandigarh University physics lab, evaluating physical and mechanical properties of concrete. Specialized Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) techniques—such as ultrasonic pulse velocity, rebound hammer tests, and corrosion potential testing—were demonstrated by Ms. Gina Crevello (Achem) and Mr. Manish Bharti (Cortex), offering practical exposure to real-time concrete condition assessment. A big thank you to all speakers, trainers, and participants for making Day 2 highly productive and technically enriching! #SavingModernism #HandsOnLearning #UIA #ArchitecturalHeritage #BuildingConservation #ChandigarhUniversity #ConcreteTechnology #SustainableStructures #ChandigarhUniversity

🧱 Rebuilding with Purpose | @conserveconnect.com At ConserveConnect, we’re building a national platform that champions the people, practices, and projects at the heart of the UK’s heritage restoration and building conservation movement. Our mission is simple but vital: To connect those who care for historic buildings with the specialists who know how to repair them—from lime plasterers to conservation architects, from building owners to master craftspeople. We believe that protecting the built environment means supporting the craft economy, upholding conservation ethics, and ensuring access to the skills and services needed to do the job properly. Join us in promoting conservation-led regeneration: 🌐 conserveconnect.com Now welcoming professionals, tradespeople, and property stewards #BuildingConservation #HeritageRegeneration #TraditionalCrafts #ConserveConnect #HistoricBuildings #IHBC #SPAB #ListedBuildings #UKHeritage

conserveconnect.news/clifton… #Cliftonville #Margate #BuildingConservation #ListedBuildings #CulturalHeritage Cliftonville offers a model for heritage-led regeneration that does not displace but includes. It is not a museum piece, but a living district—one where restoration must consider memory as much as mortar.

We are thrilled to be sponsoring the Saturday tours at the IHBC Annual School which is taking place in Shrewsbury this year.

A new sash box to replace a badly damaged original Victorian one. Slow grown larch and oak cill match very well to original. #buildingconservation #sashwindow

This wrought iron bar seemed a good idea in 1887 when this place was built. As it’s rusted it’s blown both stone and wooden cills apart like a wedge. Timber cill no longer sheds water the nose has risen so much. #buildingconservation #traditionaljoinery #architecturaljoinery

I also had to replicate the large moulding on the ground floor that’s what the large moulding cutters were for a few weeks ago. All the photos of the fitted sections were taken by Oakley Frame Buildings. #carving #joinery #carpentry #buildingconservation #craftskills

The mouldings I produced a few weeks ago have been fitted into place in Bridgenorth by the talented team at Oakley Framed Buildings. Really pleased with how these look. The string of scollops was hand carved to match the originals. #carving #buildingconservation #craftskills

If we wish to get rid of damaging buddleja from Glasgow's historic buildings, we first need to eliminate the buddleja factories on the city's unused plots. Why? Just look at the numbers. Cont./ #glasgow #buddelja #builtheritage #glasgowbuildings #buildingconservation

It’s great that Growth Lancashire are involved in the repair, refurbishment and repurposing of the impressive Accrington Market Hall. What a fantastic internal space #buildingconservation #heritage #lancashireheritage

A once beautiful earth mortared chimney stack ground out to repoint in cement. This should be classed as criminal damage. #buildingconservation #getiitdownbeforeitfallsdown. #bodgethebuilder

Despite the renaissance of interest in the city's architecture in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Glasgow seem to be once again back in the same position as it was 50 years ago. Cont./ #glasgow #architecture #listedbuilding #urbandevelopment #buildingconservation

This beautiful new lead hopper forms part of a major ongoing project to a grade I building. The attention to detail is fantastic. #owlsworthconservation #listedbuildings #buildingconservation
