Sadly during 2019 part of the building was damaged while undergrowth and foliage was being cleared. In early 2021 it was vandalised and damaged further with the addition of graffiti inside. the building is now in a very poor state of repair and is very dangerous. Internal inspection of the building is no longer possible.
