From 2004 to 2005 I participated in an ambitious project to ensure a photographic record of England’s heritage sites and buildings: a visual ‘Doomsday Book’.
“The List is the only official, up to date, register of all nationally protected historic buildings and sites in England.
“The National Heritage List for England (NHLE) is the only official, up to date, register of all nationally protected historic buildings and sites in England – listed buildings, scheduled monuments, protected wrecks, registered parks and gardens, and battlefields.
“Images of England was a photographic record of every listed building in England, created as a snap shot of listed buildings at the turn of the millennium. These photographs of the exterior of listed buildings were taken by volunteers between 1999 and 2008. The project was supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.”
