Report - The Hourglass Hartlepool Cleveland March 2021

[MarkusCP87]

Pub in my town that I had pinned for a while but was always sealed.
Went to see if it was open yet and all boards and the alarms had been removed. Strange. Access was a doddle luckily.
The pub still had quite a bit inside, signs of vandalism and squatting was present but as far as pubs go, it wasnt too bad considering the area.
There was still drinks and food left inside, as if they just packed up and left.

The pub closed in 2019 after new management had took over.
Described by the locals as quite a rough pub, it is yet another pub in the area that has closed. There will be a lot more of these soon, all around the country sadly.
The pub was put up for auction for 250k.

Always nice (and also very sad) to see an old pub.

Can't be much left in monkey hanging country @MarkusCP87 as you have been ripping it these last couple of years ?

Still a couple of places, got a lovely old manor here and the old bingo hall, but both are near impossible to get in, just waiting for that one day.

Surprised how good a condition this is in. All that stuff left too. I wouldn't blame any homeless person for squatting here.

People have defiantly been staying in it, better than the streets.
