Description


This entry was subject to a Minor Amendment on 23 July 2024 to correction the address to Lewins Mead and added a sentence about when it was moved. The GIS triangle depiction was moved 270 metres south-west from ST5895873385 to ST5871773265, thus placing it on the structure. The grid reference was removed from the Details text.
