HISTORY- originally built as a small hotel in the 19th century to take advantage of clientele in the train station opposite , being in a semi rural district of cheshire bordering the borough of wirral , the pub would of been the first place for a weary passenger seeking refreshment and directions .
The hooton hotel n restaurant closed for business in late summer 2018 .
The pub occupies 1.2 acres of prime real estate immediately adjacent to hooton railway station , it is currently up for sale as a development site for £485,000 , it is rumoured that the site would either be developed as a tesco express or student accomodation .

THE EXPLORE- I received a tip off about this place off a fellow urban explorer , a couple of weeks later i paid the place a visit ! i did a quick recce ...but found no way in !....though i could see signs of previous entries to the building , but like all good urban explorers ...i would try another time ! ...eventually my regular little visits paid off ! i came back with my camera gear n torches for a dawn entry to the property , i was surprised how quickly the pub had quickly gone down hill in less than 2 years of abandonment !
as i was leaving i heard a sensor clicking away to itself ! i could,nt believe i had totally missed it !......though i must of triggered it a good hour before on my entry ! .... yet ne secca turned up to feel my collar !

Pretty cool explore. Built in an older style than it is outside. So interesting bits left. The stain glass shot is pretty cool

I'm in slight shock that this pub had ended up like this! Used to drive past on my way to work near every day! Crazy! I've added it to my map though, thank-you.

When it closed suddenly, all the lead from the roof was nicked a few weeks later so the water got in, strange it shut down because over the bridge is the Old Roften works site, all gone now but going to be a care home , and lots of huses about 1000 as far as i remember so plenty of customers there, a Tesco express would be an ideal place as theres a huge park and ride and a railway station right next to the pub.
