The Visit
Living nearby I had tried to access this place countless times and all seemed sealed.. a very kind soul gave us some tips and we eventually found our way in though a very tricky access point which destroyed my pants on the way out
After all the effort the place was a little disappointing and very smelly.. mushrooms growing from walls and carpets due to the level of damp!
History
The County Hotel on Alderley Road closed in November 2009 and since then the site has been derelict. The building has fallen into a sorry state of decline and has been subject to a number of incidences of vandalism and theft.
The building was originally known as 'Arden House' around the 1880s and was a semi detached residential villa set amidst several other Victorian villas within their own spacious grounds, including 'Lindow Grove' now known as The Merlin and 'Merchistown' now known as 'Yesterdays' the former nightclub.
