Derelict Victorian hotel on most endangered list

A Grade II listed hotel has been placed on a list of the 10 most endangered buildings in the UK.

Marine Hotel in Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan, dated back to about 1865 as part of the Mercantile Marine Offices and played a central role in the town's industrial, maritime, and social history.

Despite the surrounding area's transformation into a thriving marina and past proposals for redevelopment, the hotel remains derelict.

Now on sale for £2.25m, the Victorian Society, which compiled the list, said it may be the "final opportunity to restore a vital piece of Penarth's maritime and architectural heritage".
