Development History
16 August 2012: Inspection finds the former doorpiece, integrated into the boundary wall of 57 High Street, now separating a private and public car park, in poor condition. Vegetation growths threatened the stability of the structure, especially as its base. Its location leaves it vulnerable to accidental damage from collision.
13 July 2015: Inspection finds the doorway remains in much the same condition as seen previously.
