November 2009: External inspection reveals that the building is in a dilapidated state; the guttering is blocked and corroded, there are many loose slates on the roof and broken and boarded up windows are visible on the rear elevation.

March 2012: External inspection finds no significant change from the previous site visit.

11 September 2014: External inspection finds the building remains in much the same condition as seen previously.

15 November 2021: A member of the public advises the ground floor unit is still occupied but the rest of the building remains vacant. They advise the roof has visible moss and plant growth and some of the top floor windows are smashed and partially boarded up. The north side of the building appears damp and discoloured, which has caused the window boarding to start peeling. The guttering appears to be clogged.
