Development History
August 2009: External inspection reveals that the masonry is damp in places and largely covered in vegetation. Sections of the wallhead are uncapped.
24 May 2012: Access limited, but as far as could be established, the building does not seem to have significantly changed since the previous site visit.
15 October 2014: Access to the structure is now very limited due to extensive tree growths. Masonry collapse is evident and tree growths from wallheads threaten the integrity of the overall structure.
26 November 2019: External inspection finds no significant change from previous visit, building remains largely obscured by vegetation growth. Sewerage works taking place on main road obstructed access to this area and prevented proper survey on this day.
