Hunter Street was finally demolished at the beginning of October 2007. The pieces of masonry specified in the sale agreement were recovered and are now at Cheshire View. Unfortunately when the original foundation stones were separated the time capsule was found broken with all the contents missing. There was none of the broken glass in the cavity, and from the discolouration of the remains of the capsule, it would appear that the contents had been removed many years ago.

Chester City Council through the Heritage Centre were able to advise that the capsule originally contained copies of the London Times, the Cheshire Observer and Chester Chronicle, a plan of the building, a copy of the Lodge circulars, a copy of the circular summoning the special meeting of Provincial Grand Lodge for the day and signed by all the officers and coins of the realm.
