In the years since then the roof has changed; Elliot Simpson's image from September 2012 shows it still to be of corrugated metal but now coloured red - <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3152858" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3152858">Link</a> . The 'hipped' style has also changed to a gable form. The MBA website still shows the roof as depicted in Elliot's photo.
