Cannon Street Baptist Church is Grade II Listed and is in a Conservation Area, so demolition should be difficult. Grade II listing means that the inside can be hacked about as the owner pleases but the outside may not be altered without permission.

I would think that it is incumbent on HBC to ensure that the building retains some form of public usage. It would make an ideal location for a borough museum and could easily be connected to the Library in St. James's Street. There is, apparently a large body of artefacts from the history of the borough, that are seldom, if ever, seen by the public. Such a museum would present a great educational resource to the borough.
