Watsons Hotel, Mumbai, is the worlds first multistorey, habitable, iron-framed building. Designed by RM Ordish and completed in 1871, it lies severely neglected at the heart of a world heritage site. The former British Residency, Berbera, Somaliland. The Commonwealth Heritage Forum includes countries within the wider Anglosphere. The former British Residency was damaged by bombing in the civil war along with much of the town centre of this fine Red Sea trading port. Manchester House, Spanish Town, Jamaica. This outstanding late-18th-century example of Jamaican Georgian vernacular architecture, built in stone and red brick, is acutely at risk. In 2019 part of the facade collapsed into the street. The Old Silver Mint, Kolkata. One of the finest neoclassical buildings in India, designed by Major William Nairn Forbes in the 1820s and modelled on the Temple of Minerva in Athens, it has lain semi-derelict for decades.
