Description LOCKED The compound well maintained, externally the post in very good condition with all surface features intact although the hatch has been damaged by vandals. A new telephone line and poles were installed in 1997 (perhaps by mistake by BT as many local poles were replaced at the same time).

Some papers, kitchen utensils, notices & wiring. Locked when first inspected in the spring of 1997, open in July 1998 locked in September 2002
