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.
