History

I have been able to find surprisingly little about the history of this place which was once a poular country pub, hotel, function venue and was licensed to hold weddings. It has closed and reopened a number of times under different management over the past 40 years and shut its doors for the final time near the end of 2010. I did manage to find an image of the establishment which looks as though it may date from c.1900 (included).

The visit

Set off with @Brandon.ee and Matt (no 28DL account). Spent do long checking every room,ever room was different. After the bottom floor the graffiti just ends.. well after jumping the dangerous holes in the floor.
