History:
this pub has been in business for around 100 years, although there is very little history about the building there are pictures online from the 1940's of the building during a flood.
The Ropery inn was closed due to fire damage, when the building caught fire around 15 firemen arrived to tackle the flames but due to a shortage of equipment there was significant damaged caused to the bar resulting in the closure.
Plans are now in place to demolish the building to make room for housing accommodation.
The Exploration:
the building is in quite a sorry state, with large amounts of litter and the significant fire damage.
the basement is very smelly and has a very slimy floor, it seems there has been spillages of some kind of oil or something down there.
the upstairs has lots of missing floor boards with bedding and other items covering the floor it is very difficult to know where it is safe to walk so I would advise great caution to anyone who manages to explore here.
a few interesting items in the pub, one of which being the mechanical lift for the kegs to move from the basement to the bar but unfortunately little else is left here.
