A town's crumbling conservation area has been included in Historic England's Heritage at Risk Register. A large part of Middleton's town centre has been added to the list.

It receives about £90m in grants and funding from the government's Department of Culture Media and Sport. It provides grants for repairs and research and carries clout when intervening over planning issues.
Working with Rochdale Council Historic England is now funding a combined grant of £35,000 which will build on this work by exploring how some of the other buildings, still in need of support, can be brought back into use. It is hoped this will help further regenerate the area and encourage improvements to other local buildings.
Other sites added to the at risk list include St Alphonsa of The Immaculate Conception Cathedral in St Ignatius Square, Preston, which is a Grade II* listed building constructed in 1833-36. It is suffering from rot and movement in high level masonry. Although some may have thought it was beyond repair, the hard work of the Church, the community and the expertise of their professional team and insurers has resulted in the total restoration of the building. An award-winning scheme, this project has successfully used traditional materials and techniques, married with innovation to restore lost or damaged elements.
