The location of this record has been corrected. Due to an erroneous grid reference associated with (S1) (now corrected) it was previously mapped as a point at TG 5239 0817. A similar issue occurred with the record for the adjacent building, 3 Howard Street South (NHER 48592). As a result it wasn't recognised that a combined record for these two buildings had previously been created at the correct location (NHER 34422). This has now been revoked and the two newer, separate records retained.
