An early 20th century former cinema, lighthouses and a former atomic bomb inspection shed are just some of the East Anglian landmarks to be added to or removed from a register of at-risk historic sites.
Historic England has revealed the historic buildings it says are most in danger of being lost forever through neglect, decay or inappropriate development with its annual Heritage at Risk register 2019.
This year a total of 42 buildings in the east of England have been added to the register.
They include the Electric Palace Cinema in Harwich, one of the oldest purpose-built cinemas to survive.
Opened in 1911, it still has the screen which showed silent movies and the original projection room, its original plaster ceiling and its ornamental frontage still relatively intact.
A National Lottery Heritage Fund grant-aided project is on-going although it was put at risk when asbestos dust was discovered on the top of the fibrous plaster ceiling.
Also added to the list are the Dovercourt lighthouses and causeway in Harwich, and the Harwich treadwheel crane.
The Dovercourt lighthouses are 19th century prefabricated structures but a survey in 2018 found their fabric was deteriorating.
Historic England say they were a milestone in the history of lighthouse design and in the sequence of navigational aids.
The Harwich Treadwheel Crane is thought to have been erected in 1667 on the orders of the Duke of York and is believed to be the earliest surviving example of its type in England.
It is now the sole visible element of the 17th century naval dockyards which developed as a supply base during the Spanish and French wars of the 15th and 16th centuries.
However a total of 39 buildings have been removed from the list, including Building 58 at the former RAF Barnham atomic bomb store at what is now the Gorse industrial estate at Barnham, near Thetford.
It was used as a bomb inspection shed during the 1950s and has now been preserved thanks to an on-going maintenance and repair programme with English Heritage.
The register provides an annual snapshot of the critical health of England's most valued historic places and those most at risk of being lost.
'Our heritage needs to be saved'
Tony Calladine, regional director for Historic England in the East of England said: "The message is clear - our heritage needs to be saved and investing in heritage pays.
"It helps to transform the places where we live, work and visit, creating successful and distinctive places for us and for future generations to enjoy, but there is more work to do.
"There are buildings still on the Heritage at Risk Register that are ideal for rescue and capable of being brought back into meaningful use and generating an income, contributing to the local community and economy.
"Historic England's experience shows that with the right partners, imaginative thinking and robust business planning, we can be confident in finding creative solutions for these complex sites."
Over the past year, Historic England has spent £1,637,473 in grants across the east of England.
