04-07-00 site visit by area architect noted: Prominent corner site – building destroyed by fire 1998; no roof or upper floors, interior filled with rubble & burnt timber, bits of furniture; part external & internal walls still standing, almost to eaves at gable & part facades, portico extant; very little fabric could be retained if restored; site overgrown & used as play/gathering area by local children; consult SCA's on way forward
10-08-00: Historic Buildings Unit concluded that insufficient structure remains for restoration; assessment is that building is no longer worthy of listing due to loss of historic fabric.
25-05-01: HBU responseded to a Listed Building consent Application ( N/2001/0300/LBC) for demolition - in view of the disastrous fire no PHB objection to retrospective consent for demolition.
