Darlaston, like most towns, has its fair share of
old and interesting buildings. Luckily a number of them
are listed, either on the Statutory List or the
Council's Local List, to give them a degree of
protection and hopefully ensure that they will remain
for future generations to see and enjoy. Listed
buildings are buildings or structures that are included
in the “Statutory List of Buildings of Special
Architectural or Historic Interest”, which is compiled
by the Secretary of State. Items in the list are
considered to be of national importance and are
protected against inappropriate alteration or
demolition.
Locally listed buildings are buildings or structures
that do not meet the national criteria for inclusion in
the Statutory List and are still worthy of protection
and conservation in their own right. The Council has
compiled a list of these buildings in order to provide a
measure of protection.
The following section includes photographs and
details of the town's listed buildings. To view a
building of your choice, either select it on one of the
maps below, or from the list at the bottom of the page: |
