Development History
February 1999: The haa is reported to be vacant and falling into disrepair. Holes are reported in the roof. Upper floor openings are not boarded up. March 2001: Local planners are unaware of any change.
September 2008: External inspection finds the building‘s condition to have deteriorated. Large areas of slates and sarking are now missing with the porch roof having collapsed.
March 2010: External inspection finds since our previous visit the building has further deteriorated. In particularly the area covered by slate on the south elevation has diminished and a hole has formed in the north roof.
23 June 2014: External inspection finds the roof has now all but collapsed leaving the building effectively a shell.
3 October 2022: External inspection finds the building to be in similar condition to previous field visit. Some remaining sections of interior lathe and plaster visible from window openings.
