Notes
Built in the early 1950’s, the hut was well deteriorated but still standing in the late 1990’s. On page 72 of "Shelter from the Storm", Barnett Brown & Spearpoint, "Another hut that survived in reasonable condition until the late 1990s was Taplins Hut". On page 73 there is a 1993 photo showing an upright hut & a 2012 photo showing the hut 'collapsed & rotten'. Edit Hut

Craig Potton has published a picture of the old hut, and I believe it collapsed due to snow in 2006.
