I believe some of them are Streak, especially ones deemed to be of particular historical value. Trouble is that can change; the old Victorian coastal battery at Carlingnose Point, North Queensferry in Scotland was scheduled. It didn't stop vandalism, and about 10-12 years ago the entire site was de-scheduled and divided into building plots. The battery still exists, but some of it was detroyed to make a building plot. The actual underground magazines are in the process of being converted into an art gallery and offices. Bawdsey radar station in Suffolk (?) is being preserved because of its historical value though.
