Shared Interest: Celebrating Investment in the Historic Environment

The case studies in Shared Interest are a celebration of England’s best heritage-led development schemes. Each shows that with imagination and skill, old buildings can be given a new and positive future.

Even before the good response to Capital Solutions (2004) – the London-focused forerunner to this publication – the constructive, collaborative way of working that characterises English Heritage’s modern approach to conservation, had been widely welcomed. Greater pre-application consultation is resulting in more successful schemes. Investors are seeing heritage as an asset and are uniting the finest old and new architecture to leave a legacy that will inspire generations to come.

London’s Historic Fire Stations
The emergence of an organised fire service in the 19th-century has resulted in a proud legacy of civic structures across London, often combining architectural elegance with functional efficiency. Instantly recognisable and highly cherished by the communities they serve, their historical and architectural interest has been recognised by many of them being designated as listed buildings. Although a number are no longer in original use, a good proportion still serve.
