The Explores

Never a problem with this one. Been twice in 2 years. First time in 2015/16, then again Sept 2017. How this place is still standing I don`t know. The small bar has a very bad and unstable floor now, very rotten. The windows now all completely boarded, but still the graffiti and decay are everywhere. On my first visit the grass had been cut, so someone is doing that. the dance floor although littered, in one piece, the lights, snooker tables all still in reasonable condition. The old till, and stools, glasses everywhere. On my second visit the place was a complete mess. None of the above was applicable anymore. So its a long over due report. As I doubt it will be here much longer.

Its definitely been a while as the memebership cards say 08, but Im sure I read some paperwork re 2010, that it finally closed completely. This place in 2014 when I first discovered it, but didnt photograph it, was spottless. A few banners on floor from a wedding. The disco ball and lights still in place etc. Didnt go back til end of 2015 beginning 2016 and the destruction was well on the way. By 2017 its falling down :(. Yep good place for noobs .
