Changes in agriculture brought its decline. Later incorporated into grounds of "Sea View". Formed foundations of pseudo-fort with clocktower, lookout, and boathouse complete with boat on davits. Recorded plaque organisation: Sid Vale Association.
An 18th-century lime kiln site transformed into an eclectic pseudo-fortification featuring a clock tower, reflecting the area's transition from agricultural industry to residential embellishment.
