It's not very good, this report.
I went with me mam, and an extremely poor torch. Couldn't see what I was taking pictures of, but I'll put them up anyway. Feel free to ignore them.
So, history.
I don't know much about it, I've read on the net that it was built in 1797, but it doesn't look that old to me but the source is pretty reliable.
My Grandmother used to work there in the 50's, it was owned by a bloke with a gammy leg after picking up shrapnel wounds in the war.
This is a picture from 1960;

The buildings next to it are all derelict and locked down, might have to have a closer look at them later in the week.
