I think that declaring "open house" on 2353 is actually a clue - not an invitation to chuck another one up :)) Had me bloody confused!

Hydro Grand Hotel, late of Timaru NZ. (Demolished a couple of years ago).

I believe Fins offering is still open.

I suspect further north, Scottish Islands perhaps, or Ireland.

Well done Cpt P. Do not think that there is much doubt in that. Good challenge Fin.

Tis indeed, Capt P. Stunning place, Rather grim tale re tower. People were dropped in from the top and left there permanently.

The ruins of Swansea castle and the modern British Telecom Tower behind the waterfall and leaf boat in Castle Square in Swansea City, South Wales, UK.

A pub we used to frequent years ago. Very well known so should be a short challenge.

Some stories about this pub are probably exaggerated.

Had to look that up Wodders, never heard of it. I know now.

The upper floor of this pub was apparently used as a court room for thieves and it is alleged that they would hang them there so you are definitely along the right lines.
