[4] Following inspection by a millwright in 2015, a crowdfunding appeal was launched to raise £3,000 for emergency repairs to the trestle.

Initial work to strengthen the trestle was scheduled to be completed in October 2015.

When originally built, the fantail was roof-mounted, in a similar manner to that still to be seen at Hogg Hill, Icklesham.
