Questions about Eason
Is Eason on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 50010404).
Can you visit Eason?
It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.
When was Eason built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1915–1925.
Is Eason protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
