The most interesting thing about this abandoned Italian restaurant is that the very next day after we visited it was completely re-sealed.
I was pre-informed that to get inside Bella Napoli you needed to slip through some bars in one of the windows.
Fat explorers would be disappointed and I know some other dudes who came before me couldn't get in as they were too wide!
It's all a moot point now as it is off-limit and besides, I found a better access point than those skinny bars (which I did spot, and YES I would have been too FAT!).
Now if there was a stash of blow-up dolls, racks of magazines containing BBW’s or even a few odd relics from the last decade then Bella Napoli might have been interesting.
You have to understand that not everywhere we go contains items of interest, and if you missed out on your visit to this restaurant, then you are not missing much.
Almost next door to Bella Napoli was another pub, full of people enjoying the sun. I’m sure the owners were delighted when this restaurant went bust and closed.
The thing is the closure is nothing new, and I spotted the place around February 2019 while passing by.
Some digging tells me the property is a lot older than it looks, was built in 1734, and has been recently been listed for sale at £500,000.
Once inside we found ourselves in the kitchen area. A slightly collapsing ceiling and an old microwave oven were all that was left.
Open fires and slightly garish wallpaper; there was nothing behind the bar.
For a large looking place it didn’t seem so big inside, and that Christina with her cleaning list might have been a nightmare to work with.
The upstairs area was quite stable with no fear of falling through the floor for once, that is if you have eyes.
The did like their open fireplaces at Bella Napoli, almost every room contained one, as well as more horrible wallpaper.
Just above this corridor was a loft, but with no way to access it. I mean you can’t jump up into big holes in the roof?
A handy chair placed below it helped and I managed to get my upper body in the small hole.
Getting any farther was a struggle with me wiggling my legs into fresh air and @dizzydiscovery falling over with laughter, bastard!
It had better be worth it, I was thinking.
Someone had made an office out of it, but there little to see besides an old insurance quote. Ten years ago and one of those micro-cars.
If I got one good snap from the place, it is this. Maybe the red bucket should have been placed better. The floor was creaky as hell up there.
This is looking down into the corridor from the small attic. Getting down was a whole lot easier... with me gaining just a few scrapes.
I figure @grindle knows about this one as it is in his locale. It was an explore, but nothing compared to the next one we did that day.
