THE BUILDING WAS DILAPIDATED WITH CRACKED AND SPALLED CONCRETE AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS IN THE STRUCTURAL REINFORCED CONCRETE ELEMENTS OF THE BUILDING AND WITH EVIDENCE OF DETERIORATING BRICKWORK, PARTICULARLY IN THE PARTY WALL BETWEEN NOS. 107 AND 109.
RECENT INSPECTIONS HAVE SHOWN THAT THE BUILDING HAS TILTED AWAY FROM THE ADJACENT BUILDING AT NO. 107 HIGH STREET TOWARDS THE VACANT SITE AT NO. 111 OF THE SAME STREET AND THIS MOVEMENT OF THE BUILDING HAS NOT BEEN ARRESTED.
