HISTORY: Another one I never posted at the time because access was so easy with doors wide open. Sadly it ended up on Youtube and a month later was arson-ed:

The small house looking bit on the side was originally Skelmersdale Hall, a farmhouse built in 1712 and now a Grade II listed building. After an extensive refurbishment The Old Toby Inn was then split into a restaurant, music bar, a Wacky Warehouse and a sports bar. It struggled and shut down before Covid happened. From what I saw of the reviews, the service there just really sucked.
EXPLORE: Easy access and some nice bits and pieces we'd not seen before from a restaurant. Didn't seem to be a theme. Felt like they'd asked a dozen different people to design each section. Huge though. Such a waste. These were early days of me photographing so forgive the bad angles and light choices.
