Development History
10 September 2013: External inspection finds the kennels are obscured by heavy tree growths close to the structure, but a number of defects are evident. There are signs of structural movement to the West of the roof, rainwater goods are heavily corroded and broken in places with no downpipes. Pointing to walls is poor with damp evident. The building is disused.
4 March 2024: Desk-based assessment suggests building remains At-Risk.
