Michael, war, and all the thumbs - many thanks for looking and commenting.

War: this building has been in this state for well over a year now - the Smithfield area was slated for redevelopment, but I gather from a local that the council vetoed the commercial plans since it was deemed to be an area of historical interest, so the whole place is currently in limbo.

Ah - so it's part of that development, is it.  The developer wished to flatten the whole area and build a steel/glass monstrosity for purely commercial reasons. (Not that I"m against all steel/glass boxes BTW).

 

I'm not sure of the current "state of play".  I suspect there's an appeal against the decision of the local authority which will go to the Planning Inspectorate. This can take a long time!
