Heritage battle

Article Abstract:

The UK Ministry of Defence is selling 140 properties following cuts in finance. Many properties could be sympathetically redeveloped as museums or tourism centres. However, organisation Save Britain's Heritage (SAVE) fears most will be demolished for new housing. Its exhibition 'Deserted Bastions' at the Heinz Gallery, London, England aims to alert the public to the threat to wartime heritage before it is too late.
