Turkish baths in Carlisle, Warwickshire church and London’s Liverpool Street Station feature on 2023 risk list

Campaign group the Victorian Society has identified its 10 most at-risk buildings in the UK, with London’s Liverpool Street Station the most high-profile – and arguably the best-maintained – of them all.

The list also features a Turkish baths in Carlisle, an Italianate country house in Devon, a Warwickshire church, a pub in North Tyneside and a sewage works in Norwich. All entries are listed at grade II or above.
