Welcome to the Essex County Council Historic Buildings at Risk Register (BARR) Website. Since 1986, Essex County Council, working closely with local planning authorities, has produced an annual register which collates information on historic buildings at risk. It is hoped that by raising public awareness and involvement in their conservation the Register will help accelerate the processes needed to secure the future of these vulnerable buildings. We are sure that this Register, like its predecessors, will continue to aid this work by making a positive contribution to the conservation and enhancement of the heritage of Essex for the benefit of present and future generations.

Please use the clickable BARR map to find details of all the buildings on the Register.
