Do you remember this old Pub? If so please leave a comment.
END.
It’s not necessarily an eye sore, sometimes adding something to the area that supports the character of such buildings really transform them in to a local treasure. For example, this would really have suited a local baseball park in my opinion.
Although I understand, with it’s deterioration and sitting isolated like a bad smell why this building met it’s fate. Still, it’s good to imagine all the potentially positive outcomes.
The (run-down) Comet was featured in the music video for Robson and Jerome’s 1996 ‘What Becomes of the Broken Hearted’
