Notification that the Department of the Environment has decided not to upgrade the listing status of the hotel. It is considered that 'this bold Victorian building does not meet the necessarily high standards required for Grade II* listing buildings and since the Froude experimental work had no impact on the structure, the building does not have sufficient historic grounds for upgrading'. The building remains listed at Grade II.
