11 May 2016: External inspection finds the upper floors of the building may not be in full use. There are slipped/ missing slates to the roof and rooflights are rusty. The gutter is rusting and leaking. The leaking gutter is causing dampness and damage to sections of the masonry. A buddleia is growing out of a top floor window, which is missing its glazing unit. Pigeons can be seen entering the building. A retail unit trades from the ground floor. The rear elevation was not seen.
