Badger
Well-known member
This used to be known as the Hungry Horse Diner in the 80's.
It looks 1930's to me but I may stand corrected.
I can't find any info out about it apart from that the locals are getting excited about it being an "eyesore".
As far as I can tell it closed in 2010.....
I used to visit here with my late father in the 80's as a small child on the way back from dropping my late (half) brother off at his Mum's. We always used to have a "steakwich" but we stopped going after Dad saw the chef picking her nose one day........

Out in the sheds there was this..... Seriously, for people of a certain generation how cool would it be to have one? This one is incidentally rotten and knackered......

You can't see it on these pictures but the whole place was really damp and wet.

I did open it.... There was nothing in it.....It didn't snap shut like Arkwright's....

From what I can tell this was where they had a pool table. You can see the water on the floor. It hasn't rained for days....

Upstairs was a large flat. I assume this was desirable years ago to a Manager, but expectations have changed. Despite the views across the Fens I can't see anyone wanting this flat. This was in the front room though which was nice......

A handwritten list of cheap piss.... Class..... Does anyone actually like Worthington bitter?

The floor was bending, cracking and creaking in the corridor leading to here. Luckily this Badger is light footed and svelte.....

But not quite agile enough to get on the roof and inside that tower....It's further than it looks!
