I have passed this place on the A38 hundreds of times but never seam to have time to stop and take a look, its been like this for years and looking at some old reports I have missed its prime by a good few years.
I was heading up the track Friday evening and decided to take a detour from the normal M5 and go over the old bridge and up the A38. I parked nearby and went and was going to only have a quick look but over a hour later I got back into my car. As I said, its long passed its sale by date and I had a look in the downstairs of the hotel park and its well boarded up and very dark in there, so I went up instead and found the floor had given away in places.
The main building was a different matter and other than the very top floor was no problem, there were three places which had been cordoned off by the police (Or someone who had nicked some of their tape
) so I don't know if in the past something big had happened there (I cant find anything on the web)
My friends who used to live nearby said they used to go to the discos they held there, they said they were never that good and they closed down just over 10 years or so ago.
As it had been standing so long I was surprised it wasn't full of good graffiti, but it was just full of tags and crap

Thanks for looking
