The building also had a chimney in the form of an arch, a local landmark, which was taken down 2004 and granted retrospective permission on the grounds that it had always been unstable despite having survived for 160 years. See (S2).

Also in file is (S3) which confirms date of 1849 even though the building bears a plaque S&B AD 1838.
