Abandoned Co-Operative store in West Derby Village, only closed sometime last year, strange to wonder why it was closed.

The Wild Wild West Bar over in Pefkos, Greece, was a bar that gave you a good ol' Texa's feeling even though you were on an island in Greece! :ROFL: According to a report on TripAdvisor, a couple visited the bar on their first night in 2010, and the bar was shut for the rest of their visit the night after their visit. So it makes me believe it shut for good in 2010. Apparently, the reason why it shut was because the owner of the bar "Yianni" moved with his wife to England.

However in 2014, a man that worked down the road in bar called Pane Di Capo called "Tasos" reopened the bar. It did kick off the bars popularity again. But some TripAdvisor people that posted on the report claiming that when they walked past the bar it was always very quiet, or at some times deserted. A report on the bar in August 2014 not too long before it closed for good again that year said that the reporters friends visited the bar and didn't like it because "The beer was flat, and the cocktails were made really poorly" Eventually, the bar shut for good again that same year and since then its had all its furniture and stuff placed inside the bar and closed up. When i head back in October i'll see if i can take some pictures.

Who knows were Tasos is these days, hes probably working back at Pane Di Capo.

Looks like someone could easily steal his stuff.
Sorry for the unnecessary quotation, considering i'm heading over to Pefkos tomorrow, i should try and get some photos if i plan on going on a walk.
The only problem is that i'm not gonna get there until midnight tomorrow. So i'll have to get photos when i have time.

Abandoned school in Epping.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.69923 ... 312!8i6656
This school closed in 2009 after a new school was built down the road, the building has remained vacant ever since and has became a magnet for trespassers and urban explorers, the future of the building is uncertain.

Child Welfare Center.
Opened in 1890 as a girls home, became a air raid precautions center in 1939, and then became a child welfare center after the war, it closed in 2005. This building has now been converted into an art gallery.

Abandoned takeaway in Blackpool.
https://www.google.com/maps/@53.7901082 ... 6656?hl=en
I ate here in August 2012, and it was pretty quiet, i think its demise was the lack of people that ate there. Or it was closed down due to bad food hygiene rating.

It closed down sometime between 2013 or 2014. I returned to Blackpool for a couple of days in July 2014.

If you ignore how cars are driving on the left instead of the right, it kinda looks like a modern(ish) road from a former Eastern Bloc country!

That sign looks much newer than it really is. Makes me wonder if someone is still maintaining/preserving the signage there.
