The Wenlock Edge Inn, sitting abandoned in Shropshire.

Why is it sitting abandoned?

NIMBYs

Folk with too much time on their hands prevented the pub from being converted into suitable accommodation for tourists, fearing their AONB would be ruined

Right so a DERP really improves the area? Unbelievable!

The place has been left to rot for about 6 years now, who knows what the owners intentions are having exhausted his options.

So I know this has been visited by others,and yet it remains untouched by the hands of taggers, goons and paraknobheads. Easy access too!

The fire escape opened up between floors. I’d like to say I was greeted by a headless woman

Up or down first? I hit the bedrooms.

This was not a dark and dingy old derp,plenty of natural light flooded the rooms

It looked like housekeeping had just popped out for a fag.

The biscuits were a bit of a give away though, way past their best before date.

Down to the kitchen area, passing a relic of the past

A nice little dining area to the rear of the bar

Looks like the owners went to great lengths only to be thwarted by a bunch of miserable old gits

And this is the way the hospitality sector is going to go if we the public allow not only NIMBYs to get there own way, but also the puppets in government with their ridiculous tedious over zealous lockdowns.
