The current building was built in the 1890s early 1900s replacing the former building.
Its also known as the Horse & Barge.
The building remains a mystery to this day to why its empty or shall I say certainly abandoned and left.
Surprisingly the building is in very good condition inside compared to other derelict/abandoned buildings i have been into and no sign of any vandalism.
There were plans in 2009 to reopen the pub/hotel but that never seemed to have went ahead.
