  SAVE Britain's Heritage was founded in 1975 to campaign publicly for the protection of threatened historic buildings. This book explains how the organization goes about its campaigns and looks at ways in which architectural conservation can be be actively promoted through schemes such as tax incentives and grants. It includes detailed case histories of some of SAVE's most notable successes in protecting a wide range of historic buildings, including country houses, churches, railway stations, cinemas and Billingsgate Fish Market. The book also shows how buildings can be converted to other uses without damaging the character of the original, and gives practical advice on how to campaign to save Britain's unique architectural heritage.
