Dover Lock Inn, Wigan - Apr '22

[Nyrian]

HISTORY: "Situated canalside to the Leigh Branch of the Leeds and Liverpool canal, the word among the boating community is that this pub was worth a visit." Plans have been in place for a long time now to demolish it and build six houses in the space.

EXPLORE: Found by accident while driving. We pulled over to look on the map for the abandoned place we were trying to get to in Wigan, and as we were about to pull away noticed we'd parked outside this. Only really good feature was the basement though.

Don't know, sorry. Been a while since we've been. I was just posting a few old explores I'd not reported on at the time.

Aye. We've stopped pursuing even the non-wrecked ones. We did Baby Elephant which is completely intact and still has booze. (Which is why I haven't put up a public report on it yet.) But spent a total of maybe 3 mins inside. Pubs don't seem to have anything unique about them to warrant more than a handful of visits. However, that second last photo was an amazing room. The colours of the different burnt out areas were really something. Stared at that longer than I've stared at some art pieces. Sad, but true.

Oh, one exception! Wellington rooms in Liverpool. That's a pub everyone should visit. Not sorted our photos for a report yet but just look at this back room. (Sorry about the wide angle aspect. Only had my phone.)

Yeah thats a bit different that place, dont think it was originally designed as "a pub" which is why its so interesting.
