Report - Raven Hotel - Droitwich - Dec 20

[Bikin Glynn]

​

The Raven hotel is grade 2 listed & is described as Part late C16 timber frame and plaster, 2 storeys and attics. 4 late C18 windows,
above and below. Late C18 moulded wood pediment over altered porch with later.

A decision was taken on Friday, May 7 2010 to move all business from the historic hotel in St Andrew's Street to sister hotel The Chateau Impney.
Recievers in charge of running Droitwich Spa’s iconic Raven Hotel have moved to allay fears that the building has been closed for good, station the hotel "will reopen"... 10 years on & here we are.

Failed to get many externals so heres a stolen pic.

​

Im surprised how little coverage this place has had, its trashed but still quite photogenic.

This beautiful looking wood panelling is actually fiberglass moulding!

& Finally this slightly ironic sign... Thanks for looking.

Thats rather nice. Some lovely ornate carvings there. Beautiful ceilings too. Im surprised they mentioned using C16 carcassing and moulded roof. Makes it appear built on the cheap, but it looks nothing of the sort. Wonder how old this place is.

Thanks Jane, its a nice building but another that I fear will be left until its too far gone.
