This is the one of FOUR Urban Explore successes, I and 
I call it a ‘playground’ as every other building appears to be crumbling, falling down, contains smashed windows or has some graffiti.
The New Inn is located deep in a most dodgy area of the city. While driving to this prime piece of architecture, I was told not to look at people too closely or I might lose some teeth. The locals have a habit of swinging at you if scrutinised.
Bearing this in mind, we drew alongside ‘The New Inn’, to find that it is no longer new at all. While some property owners make a conscious attempt to keep the likes of ‘us’ out, these guys don’t seem to give a crap.
You could climb through the downstairs windows, but the upstairs ones are securely barred. Good luck on actually getting upstairs. We will come to that little fact later.
While I can find little info on this pub, it has by all accounts been closed for 20 years. There are plans to demolish it, but that can take years.
While some may think these wrecks of buildings are not ‘real Urbex’ and a waste of time, I do love having a look to see what’s left.
Not surprisingly you can just walk in to what remains of ‘The New Inn’.
Just be a tad careful of crackheads waiting to inject you with used needles, or pissheads who may want you to join them for a swig of their home made moonshine. I’m not sure which option is worse?
We were not expecting much when we walked through what would have been the side door; in fact a stable floor that was not going to collapse to the cellar would have been a bonus.
Surprisingly the floor was quite decent though parts of it were a little ‘holey’ and you could peek through to where the beer kegs were once kept.
This corner was an exception and had collapsed in to the depths of the earth. Was this where the bar used to be? They are generally in one corner but I couldn’t figure out which.
…’the roof was generally very holey. What would you expect after 20 years of being left out in the British rain?’…
If you look upward in wrecks like these, you can see what the upstairs once looked like.
Nobody is ever going up there again unless they want to lose the concession that is, ‘your neck is still attached to your body’.
These are the steps to the second floor. There are limits to what I will try and climb! The one rung left looked like it would snap if I blew on it too hard.
We did keep an eye on this window, in case local thugs decided to harbour a meeting. It is that kind of place. The exit is fortunately in the opposite direction.
...’why do people always leave their shoes behind?…. on the beach, you jettison the shoes.., but here?...’
This was about the extent of the interior graffiti. Some places have more than others; some more educational than others.
Cops are not liked in this area, it was just a hunch I picked up on by breathing in the local atmosphere.
…’is this the door to Nirvana? Sadly we found Lidl outside of it. What a bummer.’…
The New Inn was a short Urbex jaunt that your granny can visit. There’s little left but little danger to go with it, unless you count tripping over piles of debris.
Apart from the shoes there’s little left to see, not even needles.
