This morning we had our introductory meeting with Heritage Minister @fionatwycross @DCMS in our new role as Co-CEOs of @HistoricEngland. Great opportunity to discuss and test our refreshed priorities for HE - focusing on growth, strong places, and supporting the sector.

This is a great example of the policy promoted by @HistoricEngland to restore heritage buildings to homes. The heritage body estimates that between 560,000 & 670,000 homes can be created in England by repairing and repurposing existing historic buildings. That also saves carbon.
2021-2025 - Just to show it can be done, thanks to CHM Developments and Barham Glen Architects, with a wee bit of funding from @GlasgowHeritage, this is an impressive transformation of the ‘B’ listed former Potato and Grain Merchant’s warehouse on Glasgow’s Hunter Street from a vacant and derelict building at risk to sustainable reuse as new homes for rent.
ALT This is the ‘B’ listed former Potato and Grain Merchant’s warehouse on Glasgow’s Hunter Street when it was a vacant and derelict building at risk in 2021. The building’s slate roof has partially collapsed, the walls are infested with buddleja and the site is surrounded by saplings.

The building now has a new slate roof and repointed walls and the overgrown vegetation and trees has been cut right back.
Yesterday at @HistoricEngland's #HeritageAtRisk drop-in session for MPs and peers at the Houses of Parliament. It was great to have so many MPs and peers drop by to discuss plans for sites on this year's register. We're very grateful to @BayoAlaba MP for sponsoring the event.
Great visit to Chester with @catherine_dewar to meet @LGAcomms Chair Cllr Louise Gittins. Many shared priorities between @HistoricEngland & @LGAcomms - housing, growth, pride, neighbourhoods & local reform. Exciting opportunities to work together supporting local authorities.
The best way to protect our buildings is to reuse them, turning them into places of local connection and joy. The sites saved and removed from @HistoricEngland's Heritage at Risk Register this year show how partnership and community action can create positive, sustainable change.
Today, we've published our 2025 Heritage at Risk Register, an annual snapshot of the health of England’s valued historic buildings and places.
👏 129 sites have been saved.
🏰 138 sites have been added.

We are delighted to start today as Co-CEOs of @HistoricEngland. We feel privileged to be in this role in a brilliant organisation. Heritage is central to our national identity and prosperity and we're here to unlock its potential.
Tomorrow I retire as Chief Executive of @HistoricEngland. I’m so proud of all that we have achieved over the past 10 years.
This account will now be run by @SquireKenyatta, and I’m confident that under Emma and Claudia’s leadership, the organisation will continue to thrive.

At Visit Britain annual report launch. Heritage so important to international and domestic tourism, and tourism to heritage. Good to see this message highlighted.
Today, we will unveil a national blue plaque to the Reverend Awdry, the creator of Thomas the Tank Engine, at his former home in Stroud.
Loved around the world, it’s an honour to remember him and the happiness he brought to so many childhoods.
I am delighted that the @nationaltrust is stepping up, with support from @DCMS, to take on Ironbridge, the cradle of the industrial revolution, with many remarkable survivals from the late eighteenth century onwards.
We are very grateful to the @IronbridgeGMT for all the work and care they have put into keeping the site safe for the nation over the years, and look forward to helping play our part in helping it to thrive in the future.
