Thanks Alan, the photos were taken the same year the business was sold. The new owner wanted to make it into flats as the hotel wasn't viable. He didn't get planning permission so has left it.

This is heart breaking to watch! I was born and breed in Tweedsmuir, and The Crook was the heart of the community. I had a Saturday job as a kp when i was at School, when i left school i became head chef. I work right up to the day it closed it was my 21st birthday, the last owner run it to the ground because he wanted to turn it into flats. So much history being lost, the original bar is over 400years old. Robert Burns drank there, and all the wonderful 30s fixtures were beautiful. I no longer live in the Borders, but I am glad i have my memories of socialising and working there.

Wow thanks for sharing your fond memories. The building has a lovley long history an from what I gather had many returning visitors. I think the current owner is still complaining about the amount of money agreed by the local community project to buy it from him. Some people think they can do what they want to make lots of money an not care about the community's they are destroying. It's obvious it was a thriving business until he took it over, thus the local council decision not to grant planning permission. Thanks again for watching an sharing your lovley piece of history 😊

Thanks 🙂 it was a great explore. It was nice to see all the old fixtures. I'm pleased I managed to get photos of how it looked before it was sold and neglected.

Brilliant! Love your take on the day. Really emotion evoking music. Makes you really think about how sad it is to see it in such a state.

Thanks Fiona, the music is the hardest part for me. I have to find something that allows people to feel how I feel when watching it. I'm not as gifted as Macey when it comes to composing 😁

Thanks Wade, a lot of the locals feel the same. It's gone from a community meeting place to neglect just because the new owner wanted to turn it into flats an didn't get planning permission. Hop you have a good new year too 🙂

Great video and interesting abandoned place. Best regards and happy New Year. 👍

Pass this alot when I'm out on my motorbike, never seen it functional, it looked stunning when it was open in this vid, so so sad, think there would be a market for it now, I know the area well and with all the staycation ppl now it might be able to survive, but it would take alot of money to bring it back now ☹️

Thanks I'm pleased you enjoyed it, I agree it's a waste of a building an with everyone having stay cations or would have been a great place to stay. I've not been past recently but I hear its started to be restored/converted for community use. As far as I'm aware they have knocked down the small out building. There was a big sign with the plans for it. Fingers crossed it finally get finished this time 🙂

Thanks Jay, from what I hear it was a really good place. Unfortunately some people just want to make lots of money from places by turning into something else instead of what the community needs. An I agree this virus has caused a lot of businesses to close, it's a shame really but that means lots more to explore 😁
