Woodpecker Inn, Ivybridge, June 08

[Scotty]

3 out of 4 explores with scrub.

This place has been closed since i've move down here.
Dont know why or when.

i've recced this site a couple of times and was all ways put off by its location, right next to the A38.
any one who has travelled or will travel down to Plymouth will see this place.

couple of months ago it got boarded up, bout a week later it there was graffiti over the pub and on the boards.
it was time to stop and find away in and way in we found.

this is the only site that me and scrub has done that has almost made us vomit, there is fridges and frezers of left over food that is rotting. i'm surprised it can't get up and walk around. the smell from the chest freezers made us gag. rotting food, flys and out of date beer. great

enjoy the pics.

Its a huddadadada

Someone worked at this place with a bad BO problem, there is tins of linx every where.

The only thing that is really left is kiddies toys.

Stella?

This is where it starts to get gross

Yup, thats a pie!!

Power any one?

 

[Atomager]

LOL.
I love old pubs, but if I get round your way pub grub is off the menu.
Looks like an eviction, so I wouldnt clean up either. It looks like there wont be many 'pubs' left at all soon.
However, some of the explores on various sites show what dumps some of these places really are, and the scratters that run them.
If anybody knows a decent pub in North Leeds please let me know.

Office with the usual paperwork strewn about the place, including about 8 cans of Lynx BO Basher (other deoderants are available).

Cutting edge console

Scotty

Fairy

Nice shower curtain

Mess

Gordon Ramsey would be proud to work here

The stink was getting bad by the time we ventured down to the kitchen below

Nice colours in the pipework

This was reaking - the stench was hard core

We spent about 5 mins trying to get a pic of the insides - in between holding our breath!
Plenty of flies about

Afters anyone?

Scotty and I

Thanks,

[tonyque2]

Looking at the state of the kitchens its just as well it is closed !!
Interesting pics Thanks

 

[thompski]

I think that's the first games console i've seen on here, in which case well found.

Who could leave such a thing behind

 

[lycos]

Another good one boys, glad to see so much still intact in there, the fridges etc remind me of the ones in Millennium, they hummed too!

nice pictures fellas i like old pubs too
but why do they always stink when i did the county arms in leicester it was really bad
almost made me sick

 

[Richard Davies]

My parents have woven place mats just like the ones on the bar, & my Aunt & Unlce have chairs like the curved back ones.

Fridges & freezers should really be stored open & empty, if air & moisture gets trapped in it can really cause things to get unpleasent. My Gran found this when she left the fridge in her caravan & found it looking like somethinf from Alexander Flemming's lab.

It really does look like it was closed with no warning, I guess due to an eviction.

There's a pub near me where the landlord has nearly gone bankrupt (due to gamling debts, rather than a fall off in trade) but at least the pub is brewery owned so it will stay open.

Nice work chaps, had often wondered what it was like inside. pretty disgucting it would seem. Nice one

 

[Silverfox]

Another great explore, well done lads

 

[double-six]

Cool explore although I think I would have ended up vomiting everywhere with the smell! lol

 

[spacepunk]

:swoon: Yuk.
Well done guys.

 

[thestig]

nice explore guys! years ago I used to meet up with our area sales manager there for meetings, was quite convenient being close to the a38.

That kitchen looks rotten though!

 

[The_Revolution]

out of date beer. great

Apparently beer doesn't really go out of date - it loses its taste a bit and gets stronger with age

 

[OSPA]

Nice find guys. It looks as if everyone just disappeared one day and left everything behind! Id love to visit and old pub.

Sit tight OSPA - I've got a fresh one lined up for us.

I met someone at this pub recently(purely as a meeting point, nowt to do with urbex) & had chance to have a wander around the outside. There is a sign up about the proposed plan to delmolish it sometime soon. So if anyone wants to take a gander - you better move fast!

Incidently, if anyone has that pic of a few of us stood around the bar could they PM me. Ta

 

[lost]

I've been in a few disused hotels, but none with food left behind.

I wish I'd had a pop at these though, only a year out of date.
