The following is taken from the Newark Advertiser Archives, dated 20 January 1954:Stodman Street, Newark, is losing the last indication of what most of it looked like during the Civil War sieges. Demolition of the 16th Century building at the corner of Stodman Street and Middle Gate began last weekend. By yesterday, only the last traces of mud-packed wattle remained of the roof, and the interior walls were on their way down. The building, last used as two shops, belongs to the same period as the Governor's House but is more typical, representing the half-timbered peasant-type house of the late 15th and early 16th Century. Officially it was on the list for preservation but it was beyond repair and had become dangerous. The ground floor of the building behind is (in 2012) Ilkeston Coop Travel. Middle Gate junction has been extended over part of the old corner shop area. A new shop, abutting the building on the right, occupies most of the rest of the land, and is (in 2012) Orange.
