The government has awarded almost £1m of grants to 25 projects to regenerate coastal communities.
The awards have been made through the Coastal Revival Fund, which has been running for three years.
It provides grants to coastal heritage sites to fund repairs and restoration and supports large-scale projects.
Six of the winning projects include grants for sites which are classed as ‘at risk’ by Historic England including Northwood House Rotunda on the Isle of Wight, a former ice factory in Grimsby, an Elizabethan house in Plymouth, an historic artillery fort in Essex, a miners’ chapel in St. Just, Penwith, and the Rock Gardens of Ramsgate.
Coastal Communities Minister, Jake Berry MP, said: “From Whitehaven to Weymouth, we’re saving some of the nation’s most cherished coastal heritage assets and landmarks from falling into disrepair.”
