Thread: Dunrobin Hotel, Longton, SoT

Named after Dunrobin castle in Scotland, the home of the Duke of Sutherland who owned the land on which this late 19th century hotel was built.

Closed in 2005 and bought with plans to convert into flats, however this "fell through" as the building wasn't structurally sound enough. So left empty it suffered the usual anti-social behaviour & fly tipping, and even a spell as a cannabis factory, before the inevitable happened. Yes demolished, with the land ready for more houses or whatever!

As it was
