Questions about The Star
Is The Star on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 11343017).
Can you visit The Star?
Many historic buildings are private homes; this one can be seen from the street.
When was The Star built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1920–1925.
Is The Star 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.
