Jolly Colliers Pub, Waingroves, Derbyshire - March 09

[james.s]

Hi folks,
Another Pub exploration, not too far from my house. This pub closed recently, I believe it was another Miner's welfare club, and now shows signs of being converted to housing. I visited with LIO112 and a non member guy from school (Michael) It is quite a nice pub, relatively untouched inside with all of the stuff still there.

Some damn FOOL has nicked the customer's toilet!

Thanks for looking!

Nice set James, did you have to wait long to be served,

For the bleach or beer?

Quite a nice pub but it will probably be houses soon, there is planning permission, that is a shame. Quick reply too, ricasso

My Aunt had some similar turquoise tiles in her bathroom until the mid 1990s.

Bit of a seventies thing I think

'youve got mail'

'youve got mail'

And some!

Like the bar area...it looks quite snug.
Pubs should never be turned into housing...it's extremely rude!!!

The picture does not show how deep the mail really was, it was at least a foot deep, and covered several square feet. People do not go in here often obviously, even the chavs have let it alone, and trust me, this is the main route from my (chav ridden) school so I have no idea why they have not touched it. There were some dicey looking homemade alcoholic beverages in the beer store though.

Yes, the sink & bath were the same colour too.

I remember that one of my relatives had some similar bathroom arrangement, might have been my grandparents. No, actually their bathroom was brown, proper seventies

Nice find and good pics, you find the best stuff !
Maybe you have a knack of getting into places that the chavs haven't got ! (brains?)

It seems like it This is on a chav migration route though, they had got into the outbuilding, but the pub was untouched, imagine if chavs saw all that mail, it would be on fire!
