Development History
September 2009: Limited external inspection possible - the site is heavily overgrown and it could not be ascertain whether any part of the building remains.
December 2009: Return site visit allows greater inspection - the greenhouses remain, albeit heavily overgrown with ivy. Where the glass is visible it appears to remain intact.
25 October 2012: External inspection finds the site entirely covered by vegetation.
