A day at the Dormy

A vast complex of abandoned buildings covering an extensive plot of land; a huge hotel, a leisure center and spa, bars and ballrooms and all associated maintenance and staff buildings, are all that remains of one of the areas premier hotels. I can remember going there in the 1990's, at the time it had the deserved reputation of being rather swanky. In the early 2000's it ran into financial trouble and soon after by left vacant, youth and such like took their toll culminating with a fire in the main building. The site is now fenced off, though access can be achieved and it's still popular with the youth.  A great, and I must say in places scary, time was spent creeping about the ruined buildings and investigating; still more left for another visit.
