Submit your local places, spaces and things

Each year the National Trust selects places for its Heritage@Risk list. However, there are many places at risk all over NSW that most people might not know about. We would like you to show us these places, spaces and things that are special to you. It could be almost anything – your local corner store, a childhood playground, an old movie theatre, or even your neighbour’s artwork collection – anything that you feel captures the spirit of your community today or in days gone by, and should be conserved for future generations.

 

We invite you to submit photographs and words about these local places, spaces and things that are special to you and are in danger of being forgotten forever. Tell us in 100 words why it is at risk and why it should be saved. The best entries will be featured on our website, allowing everyone to see what you cherish the most in your community.

Here are some places in the community people have told us about.

Places that the community have told us about

Roxy, Glen Innes NSWRoxy, Glen Innes NSW

… As the pressure to ‘move with the times’ sees this building demolished for a McDonalds drive-in I appreciate even more the generous though human scale and quality of detail which make up the unique character of the town we've inherited from our industrious forebears. Add surrounding natural landscape it would take a lifetime to explore, a climate with four distinct seasons in the year and spectacular skies night and day and it could almost be perfect.

Catherine Hill Bay, NSW

Catherine Hill Bay is a unique mining village situated on the NSW coast between Sydney and Newcastle. The village is a collection of simple nineteenth century miners’ cottages overlooking a magnificent beach. I love the way the old timber cottages compliment the natural beauty of this place, providing an insight into a way of life that no longer exists. I love the way the village has been preserved by its residents and I love the dedication of the community which is fighting to save this magical place from unsympathetic developers.
