Kate Dickson of Creative Heritage gave a talk to BCA Members titled "Rescuing Ruins - the challenges and opportunities of the creative reuse of old buildings" to watch the talk again please click on the link below or go to our You tube channel by following the link at the end of this post

Rescuing Ruins

As those who followed the Buxton Crescent project will recall, historic building projects take a long time and cost a lot of money. Why is that? Is it all about the funding, or the location, or technical problems, or is there something else? With 25 years’ experience of working on difficult historic buildings projects, as a project manager engaged by charitable organisations, a Trustee of the Architectural Heritage Fund and a mentor with The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Kate will share some insights in an inspiring talk, illustrated with photographs of projects ranging from industrial dereliction to chocolate box cottages.
