14 October 2013: Building may not be in full use - to be checked further. For Investigation.
27 February 2014: External inspection finds the building has been disused for some time. Some windows are broken, doors boarded up. There are some slipped slates evident, rainwater goods are missing in places and there is dampness to walls. A single storey building adjacent has a collapsing roof. The property is thought to have operated as The Dungeon Bar/ Restaurant latterly. Moved to At Risk.
