Red House Drinking Rats!

Red House Pub - Tonbridge Feb 2012

New to all this urbexing but decided to give it a go, as I have alot of free time and love exploring.
I have really become addicted recently researching places and areas for anything in the kent area.
Come across this pub, as its local to me in Tonbridge.

I explored early in the morning, checked the area out, then decided a few days later to check inside.
Seems to me the builders have had a field day with the drinks on offer and of course the wig and wine...

Anyways hope you enjoy

Sorry I couldnt get right into the cellar, seemed to be filled with rats everywhere! :icon_evil

Thanks alot!
yep loads of stuff inside, most intact aswel, I think its going to be demolished in a month or so, if I get chance I shall go back and get the cellar and some better shots inside

Good first report fella, love the "Grab what you can" blackboard, I can almost imagine being there that night!!!

Glad you have the bug, cos you know what you have to do? Get back for the cellar shots!!!

Go on!!!

Thanks alot.
It actually closed on new years eve, I was there haha (dont remember anyone writing on the blackboard though)
Shame the pool table isnt inside anymore.

Well now the pressure is on me, I shall try too in the next few days, if the rats play nice

Same here.

haha
I had to look twice at the wig and drink on the floor, I walked into the bar area torch in hand and backed up abit haha
as I said think the workmen have been playing around in here.
Walked past the pub today and it looked like it has been targeted by fire at the front...may have to wait for the cellar shots.
Thanks for looking though guys, got my eye on another pub recently closed up, stay tuned.

[craigc1985]

Ps the pub wasn't that much different when it was open it was run down to death

 

[abel101]

no doubt people will start setting fire to it again, it used to be such a brilliant pub back in the day
