Join Henrietta Billings for a special online talk celebrating 50 years of SAVE Britain’s Heritage – the national campaigning charity dedicated to saving historic buildings from demolition and finding new, sustainable uses for them.
Since 1975, SAVE has been at the forefront of the fight for our architectural heritage, from landmark court cases and headline-making rescue campaigns to behind-the-scenes negotiations that have changed the fate of hundreds of buildings across the UK.
In this illustrated talk, Henrietta will share inspiring stories from SAVE’s archives and recent campaigns – from Victorian textile mills to whole streets of terraced houses – showing how determined action, creative thinking, and public support can turn the tide for endangered heritage. She will also look ahead to the challenges and opportunities of the next 50 years, including climate change, urban regeneration, and the power of communities to shape their places.
Whether you are a heritage enthusiast or new to our work, this is a chance to see the history of Britain’s built environment through the lens of one of the country’s most influential heritage charities – and to discover how you can get involved in writing the next chapter.
