Development History
December 1996: December 1996: External inspection reveals the complex to be derelict, though in the midst of worked land.
May 2003: Local planners report no change
13 July 2012: External inspection finds on the front elevation the roof has collapsed on the east section. The West section is sagging and has lost numerous slates and the entrance section roof has been demolished. The roofs of the side and rear ranges are in poor condition with many lost slates and some large holes. A crack above the doorway in the entrance passageway gives cause for concern. Gutters are overgrown where they survive and most downpipes are broken.
20 August 2014: External inspection finds the complex remains in deteriorating condition.
