There is an open well at the rear and people who enter at night risk injuring themselves on this. There are also several other hazards.

There are significant dangers to entering abandoned buildings. The owner, who is stripping out the property, is concerned that someone will be hurt if they persist in this action.

He is also arranging for a private security firm to board up the property and put up perimeter fencing, with night patrols.
