A historic building on High Pavement which is thought to have been built in the 17th century is falling into disrepair. The building is thought to have been empty since 1992 and is now in need of serious repairs.
The townhouse is directly across the road from the National Justice Museum and was rebuilt between 1728 and 1733 with an extension for judges' quarters added. It was later converted into offices in the 1920s before more extensions were added in the 1930s and 1940s.
The building is thought to be in very bad condition with beams failing in parts of the northwest wing and plasterwork coming away throughout. A staircase is also understood to be failing in part of the building.
