 ***********************

In the meantime, on 23 May 2014, we received the unwelcome news that contrary to the earlier assessment, Chimney G was actually unsafe.  Having been partially rebuilt in the past.  It is currently brick on disintegrating stonework.  A majority decision by those affected has been taken to rebuild it.
