Report - Hope and Anchor Pub - South Wales - OCT 2016

Hope and Anchor Pub​

I'd firstly like to thank @dirge for telling me about this place and for helping me.

Couldn't find out much but a couple of posts on facebook suggest that there was planning permission to turn it into residential flats. In addition, there has been a facebook video posted in 2009 of inside the hope and anchor pub which meant it was open then. I remember driving past it boarded up back to around 2011 but I was younger then so I believe it was closed around this time. There isn't any website's which I can find info on so don't have much to say.

I visited this place with @Ethaan and @Hugh Man . This is only my second explore and thus my second report. Many of the photos might not be focused correctly as I left my camera on AF and due to the darkness and not very powerful torches they didn't come out as well as I hoped. I really should have looked at the photos as its only now that I've realised how bad some of the photos are. I used a Canon Eos 550D with the kit lens to take these.

Thanks for taking your time to look at this report!
If you do want more photos then there are some in a Flickr Album:

I'm surprised all those trophies are still there tbh. In quite good condition with little vandalism. It's a really nice place.

Yea don't think it had any reports previously.

I forgot to say that this is now being done up and is a building site.

Since I came back to this site, I thought I'd add a little update of what it's like now.
