This is my first post in a while so have got a backlog of posts to get through in the coming weeks - apologies in advance :D. Myself and Jon6D got seriously lucky stumbling onto this one..... a pub in an old building with 4 floors, a cellar, and, a roof accessible from the 2nd floor (so obviously this post is a little pic heavy!).

The building was the offices for a South Wales newspaper from 1897 until late 1960s. The rear of the building was under separate ownership and was the printing works for the newspaper. The building became a pub in the mid 90s. Closed 2012, currently there are plans to reopen the pub and convert the upper 3 floors into 10 flats.

Hope you enjoy....

Thank you Taz - so glad you enjoyed. It's nice to be back - missed being on here!
 
That is a nice boozer, Shame you owned up to planting the cash though, it'd driven the pikies nuts searching for it, I enjoyed it, Thanks
 
Great images,nice to see empty pub still intact.Lots of original features still in place upstairs and an old Rediffusion station selector, had one in my youth 1940s/50s no tv in those days !!

Thank you flyboys90 - I did not know what the Rediffusion box was at first, Jon6D had to explain it to me! But yes, always nice to see some artefact from the recent past.
 
Great report.

I can't believe the prices on the board, £1.50/£1.65 a pint!

Surprised it went out of business, they'd bite your hand off that round here, cheaper than Wetherspoons!
