Abstract: |
The assessment corroborated the statement that the site was clearly of national importance and worthy of statutory protection and acknowledged that a certain amount of modernisation was required. Certain areas of the site were currently unstable, particularly in the area of the Rapid filtration building and Nos. 1-14 concrete tanks. The features dated from the 1920s period. The disused 1853 Boiler House and site engineer's house could have been vulnerable during the refurbishment programme. A more detailed technological study of the buildings and features would be an appropriate response, prior to demolition. [Au(abr)] |
