Dammit man each time you show one of these run-down palaces, all I can think of is fixing them up and polishing those turds!
This one does indeed look like a castle and I can only imagine what that would go for on this side of the pond even in that condition. The bars, the stage, the bones of that place just scream to be fixed and that keg pump system looks like it is not too far gone. Maybe we should team up and return it to glory and have our grand Cryptopub. How much Hive do you have again?
Do you think its slide from opulence was signaled by or caused by falling into the hands of the Irish?
Not enough HIVE yet.. sadly. It's an almost city centre location so prime location. Pubs are gone here now, there's too many and not enough business.
