The building has been empty and very neglected for a good few years. In 2014 it was sold so perhaps something's going to be done with it now.

Though once started it seemed to have ground to a halt.
Also listed at Railway Hotel, Railway Station & Haughley Old Street, and at Newton Road in 1881 census.
