Great report! Such a shame to see it left to rot but it’s nice to see it hasn’t been trashed very much. thanks for sharing

And some more as I realised they didn’t all load properly. And yes..some are watermarked by another name. My exploring friend Will who came with me on this explore.

We are company who have purchased this beautiful old building.
Whilst we appreciate you are only exploring, may we politely ask you to refrain from exploring in the future.
The hotel actually has some VERY SERIOUS STRUCTURAL ISSUES and could pose a threat to your safety.
We have now put in place security measures and will prosecute anyone found to be trespassing.

I use an app called photo resizer on my mobile but the quick and dirty way is to simply email the pictures to yourself and resize accordingly.

Great first report, looks a nice mooch.
I'm with you on the other people thing, you're forever jumping at the noises they are making and scared to do anything yourself. I often have a couple places in mind on a trip out so would normally move on myself, well done for sticking it out.

Done it it now! Don’t need to do it again. Thanks for your concern though. Appreciate that you care so much.

Great English there.

Being told to stay away 3 times now has just made my mind up to go visit the place. It's pristine compared to some of the places we get to so I'll take my chances on the safety side, cheers.

Too right! No good telling me not to go again. Done it already! The woodwork in there is beautiful.

What structural issues? It's perhaps the most solid building I have explored all year.

May I suggest you have a quick read of the law regarding trespass

I’ve been to so much worse. Considering it’s been empty for 4 years !

Interesting. So it’s a civil offence rather than a criminal one? Funny, something I never think about when exploring. I always think...I get caught I get caught.

I think they've put a sign up saying the only way you can get in is by breaking somthing so the best they are hoping for is agrivated trespass which they will never get to stick in a million years even if they decided to pay the money to get you to court.
I do empathise a bit but they are targeting the wrong people, were not the ones that will burn it down.
Giving these threats just waves a red rag to some people.

 

[Scoobysrt]

Yes scarlett, due to our squatters and homeless rights, trespass on its own isnt a crime, security gripping you to stop you leaving is. If you break stuff there is agrivated trespass but if they can't get ally law they won't get sensible urbexers lol.

Yeah damn right. It’s a shame people assume it’s us the burn buildings down, take stuff, break stuff. True explorers don’t do that. It’s so sad what happens to places.
