There's no mention of underpinning.

It's probably settled now anyway it's the fact it was built using concrete without andy reinforcing steel in the concrete to give it strength. I though I'd read it was just concrete sheet shuttered when built so no integrated reinforcement. If it was build today it'd have steel reinforcing inside the concrete.

So without the steel I would have though it'll just crack again probably where there were no cracks before.

Sadly the blog for the redevelopment died a death last July.


But the main fencing has now come down as they're landscaping and wow, the house looks amazing. It's so lovely to see it restored to its former glory. I do hope that there will be a chance for interested locals to have a look before it gets sold on. Well done colin.s if you're still involved!

It's not being demolished! It's being renovated by Hexagon housing association. The building will be conserved and turned into flats. About time too! It's been in a state of terminal decline for over 20 years. I'm glad it's finally being turned into homes, whilst preserving it historic features.

    • That's not a bad idea, though I also want to keep the site as simple and user friendly as possibly. It's ultimately about getting a balance between being informative and being a good read. Stars are useful but I'd like people to read the reviews too. 
    • Standard places haven’t got any? Anyone seen any on sale this week? thanks
    • Sue. You really don’t have to keep saying about the electoral system    a) we all know about it b) it doesn’t matter    FPTP is the system we have always had and hopefully we will get rid of it someday but it is what it is    when anyone suggests changing the system Corbyn is right there at the front of the queue to prevent it   so its pointless him or any of supporters complaining about it    the evidence you want is the result of the elections. You can’t have clearer evidence. 
    • Has anyone from the school commented? Have they said why? Is it a fresh start? Is it that Grove in the name may have connotations of wealth and they want to attract more applicants from a wider area? Is that it currently is linked to the DKH Estate?
