Sadly lying derelict, this prime city site looks just as it did when Malton did his view of Essex Bridge with all its original glazing bars complete. Now badly in need of some tlc and a lick of paint, it is to be hoped that like its neighbours (recently renovated by the City Council), it will live again. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately it seemed to pass untouched through the boom years, but is now in a poor state of repair.
