The one remaining block is still in it's original state, but the other one could have been renovated by having all that horrible white plaster removed and for the sandstone to be restored.
English Heritage can only List buildings if they know they exist.

BTW.
I'm going to the Town Hall on Tuesday to object to the proposed demolition of the former Bedford Cinema in Walton.
Wish me luck.
