Swing Doors
Into town today for a haircut. I parked in a side street nearby and walked through a couple of the alleys looking for a blip. There were a couple of choices, but then I came across this ghost sign.
The Queen Hotel. It is actually still called the same, except people refer to it locally as ‘swing doors’. It claims to be a private club now rather than a hotel but I’m not entirely sure.
Not much about it online but my trusty neighbour, who knows such things assured me there was a small queens bar that used to be part of the hotel, accessed by some swing doors, hence the nickname.
I think he said that bit is now an Indian take away!
He also gave me about three other has-been type establishments to find for blipping.
This afternoon we put together a new small shed to go at the back of the garage. It said allow three hours. We started at 2 and had run out of puff by half five. The door will be finished tomorrow:-)
