Nikki and I nearly bricking ourselves when you opened the door! We were coming down the stairs thinking we could hear voices, then you opened the door and we nearly DIED. Great video. Shame the place has been trashed. We wanted to come earlier in the year but something called lockdown got in the way. Great to meet you guys!

I have a feeling that you will spoilt for choice finding abandoned hotels and businesses over the next couple of years. This hotel didn't seem to have been in bad condition when it was abandoned, it is a shame that those who visited before you just set about vandalising the property. This would have been an ideal purchase for the homeless, such a shame that it was allowed to fall into the standard pigeon infested state of decay. Thanks Alec, often the explore channels bring more to the attention of the public than they realise.

What a sad, sad sight to see a lovely old hotel / pub close down like that. The worst thing is the way interlopers get into the place and smash things up like buggery. Imagine having to leave those lovely carpets behind.....sad....Actually it should be against the law to shut down pubs...next thing you know the effing islamists have bought the place and turned it into a sodding mosque. Well, anyway that is what they do to pubs around Leicester..get em closed down by just sitting there never buying any drinks next they've forced the landlord to close it down. And within weeks the place has magically transformed into a poxy mosque.

One other idea is type a formal letter to your MP about all this and ask if he could step in and help. about all this really indeed you could be able to have a normal meeting with him and come into talks with your MP and having discussions with the Council on all about this what they can really do to help you here Try that wait till you get a letter back this really could be the key.
