Much has happened since I photographed the building in 2009 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1197724 . By around 2018 it was occupied by The Haunted Museum, but this closed in 2020 due to the Covid pandemic. Permanent closure was announced in 2021 due to the condition of the building, the Museum having moved to new premises. 2020 also saw the Listing (Grade II) of the building by Historic England https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1472567 which will be a constraint on any new occupier. The building remained unoccupied at the time of this visit, but this has the advantage that the frontage is free of signage, allowing the architecture to express itself.
