Kabul, April 20 (TIWN) Some of the UK's treasured heritage could be "lost forever" after the novel coronavirus pandemic, as centuries-old skills required to safeguard them risk wipeout if craftsmen lose their jobs, an official has warned.

According to a survey carried out by Historic England, a non-departmental public body tasked with protecting the historic environment, almost 80 per cent of heritage groups have reported short-term losses and around 60 per cent said they have been forced to cancel events due to the pandemic, Xinhua news agency reported.
