In this series, The Past in the Present, we explore how the historic urban character of a city can be part of a dynamic and continually evolving contemporary society, with an aim to spark debate on the topic of conservation and heritage in our cities and further afield.
Series curated by Ailish Killilea and Anna Skoura.
The 2012 Watch List has been recently announced by the World Monuments Fund. Every two years since 1996, the World Monuments Watch calls international attention to cultural heritage around the globe that is at risk from the forces of nature and the impact of social, political, and economic change. It is worth mentioning that the Carlilsle Memorial Methodist church in Belfast was included in the 2010 List.
This year, four sites in the UK are part of the Watch:
British Brutalism in Birmingham, Preston, and London, England

Newstead Abbey in Ravenshead, Nottinghamshire
