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.

What's New?

  • Heritage Champions Conference 2010
    The date and location of the next national Heritage Champion conference has now been confirmed. It will take place on 15 November at the Foundling Museum in central London.
  • Street Clutter
    Communities Secretary Eric Pickles and Transport Secretary Philip Hammond are concerned that the character of the country's urban spaces is being damaged and have urged local authorities to reduce the number of signs and other 'street clutter'. English Heritage shares this concern. We have produced detailed regional guidance and a series of practical case studies help promote the restoration of the character of our streets.
