Title: Spooky Hotel
Post by: Canary on August 29, 2010, 06:30:48 PM: Hi all, I'm sure someone out there will be able to help me with this one.... ???

I've always been intrigued by this place (it's the deserted hotel up the lane opposite the Apsa Supemarket). My son calls it the spooky hotel as he always feels someone is watching you when you walk up to the place, especially round the back.......

I always think this could, and maybe was, a great hotel, it's in a brilliant prominent/central postion that must have sea views, at least from the top floors. Does anybody know anything about the place, when was it open, why did it close and if it may ever open again ?

Cheers

I am just off to finish packing so I don't have time today to find it.
We went there last year for a nose around - it's just like the Marie celeste - deserted as if they dropped everything and ran out!
It may have a few squatters inside somewhere, as it felt creepy indeed and weird!
It was built for the German trade and went up if I recall, not complying with building regs or with permission.
Seems a shame really, but I believe it will have to come down.

I can't believe you dared to go into the place, I wouldn't.

I'll have a hunt around to see if I can track down the previous thread, if i can't hope someone else will help guide me ?

cheers

Stockjockey will churn in his/her market. Why won't he/she go and let Tony buy him/her a drink? If I was he/she/it (decide your own title) I would go and meet Tony even if only to show I had the face to. Then again I've never been a cyber bully.
