The SS Great Britain and Historic Dockyard, Bristol by Alec French Architects has won The Crown Estate Conservation Award 2007.
The prize is awarded to the best work of conservation which demonstrates successful restoration or adaptation of an architecturally significant building.
The award was judged by Richard Griffiths, conservation architect and RIBA Awards Group member, conservation architect Paul Velluet and Tony Chapman, RIBA Head of Awards.
The judges look to award a scheme which demonstrates one of the principal tenets of the Crown Estate and of this award: that conservation is not a dry academic discipline, it is the practical art of making yesterday’s buildings work for people today.

The Crown Estate is an estate including substantial blocks of urban property, over 120,000 hectares (300,000 acres) of agricultural land in England, Scotland and Wales, and around half the foreshore, together with the seabed out to the 12 mile territorial limit. As owners, managers and guardians of one of the world's most important and diverse urban, rural and marine property portfolios are underpinned by the three core values of commercialism, integrity and stewardship.
