Industrial, transport and maritime heritage

The Heritage Lottery Fund is making huge contributions to help save our industrial, transport and maritime heritage. In an area that has often been overlooked by other types of public funding, we are continuing to make grants to help communities buy, repair, conserve and restore things and places relating to this heritage. These include buildings, sites, items and collections. We also want people to have better access to their industrial, transport and maritime heritage and to understand more about it.

Rather than supporting major new developments, or the funding of replicas, we want to address the major conservation needs of our industrial, transport and maritime heritage. We give the highest priority to projects that bring collections under weatherproof cover. This helps to ensure that these are preserved for future generations as well as our own.

The good news is that we have already awarded nearly  £458 million on over 732 projects for industrial, transport and maritime heritage.
