Ludlow landmarks on English Heritage 'at risk' register
Two landmarks in Ludlow have been named on the English Heritage "at risk" register.
The watchdog for historic places publishes a list of structures throughout the UK that it considers to be at risk.
Its latest list, just released, includes the Ludlow Town Walls and the Buttercross.
English Heritage is most concerned about the town walls, which have been downgraded from category D to C in the latest listing.
The condition of the wall is described as "poor" and English Heritage say there are "serious concerns" because the walls have many different owners and in some cases responsibility is disputed.
A section of the wall near St Laurence's Church had to be repaired this year when a partial collapse resulted in residents being asked to move out of their homes.
In 2012, Shropshire Council repaired a stretch along the back of the Market Street car park.
But English Heritage is more hopeful about the Buttercross.
It says: "External repairs were completed with the help of an English Heritage grant."
