Report - Angel Croft Hotel, Lichfield August 2014

[mookster]

It's been a little while since I chucked something old up on here, so here is another slice of my archive nostalgia from the time I was in the sin bin.

There isn't a lot of information around about the hotel, it was originally a large house built for a wine merchane called George Adams in 1750, and was converted into a hotel in 1930 and was listed at Grade II* in 1970. It closed a few years prior to 2014 and spent some time to itself decaying rather nicely, plenty of peely paint galore to be found in the entrance hallway area. I don't tend to explore many hotels as I personally think the vast majority are just a bit boring but this one was rather nice.

Shortly after my visit work began to convert it into apartments.

I was quite a fan of the staircase in here as you may be able to tell...

Thanks for looking ​

I actually know the person working on the conversion. He took us in there a couple of times. It's a good little mooch. Not sure if it's been converted yet.

its strange to think 2014 is going to 5 years old!

I know, seems so recent haha. This was the last explore I went on before my first trip to the States and oh how my life has changed since then.

Do you know any of the bar staff who worked there in the 80s
