Whilst looking up the phone number for the local History Society on their website today (in response to Zetec’s query about a button he found in his garden) I noticed an interesting entry.
“The Isle of Wight Council’s Conservation & Design Team are inviting nominations for inclusion in the Island’s first ‘Local List of Buildings of Architectural or Historic Interest’
The list will be supplementary to the National Statutory Listed Buildings list (which includes 119 buildings in Ventnor) and as well as including Buildings and Structures may include Parks and Gardens and places of social, cultural and religious interest etc”.
Anyone can make a nomination for a building to be included, criteria and full details are available on the Council Website.
I am sure there are plenty of buildings in Ventnor that are worth nominating (if they aren’t already protected).
