THESE areas and buildings in Trafford are some of almost 5,000 at risk of loss across the country, according to Historic England.

The body's Heritage at Risk Register includes 4,985 areas and buildings in England which are at risk as a result of deterioration or inappropriate development.

They include the Church of St Clement in Urmston, as well as conservation areas in Altrincham, Old Trafford and Trafford Park.

Historic England works with owners and communities to come up with solutions to save the areas and buildings.

The Heritage at Risk Register indicates their condition, as well as the imminence with which a solution is needed.
