done this site 3 or 4 times as of recent, its not a bad explore in the centre of lancaster, done with various different people over the last month or so. not go an external as the place was covered in scaffolding.

designed by W A Deighton in 1901, Mitchell's of Lancaster is a well established family owned pub and hotel company. Established for over 140 years, the company was founded by William Mitchell and is now run by the founder's great-great-grandchildren. The story goes that a chance meeting with a friend provided the money William needed to build his own brewery. Once the brewery was built, William went on to build a number of large hotels and inns, strategically sited within the Lancaster and Morecambe area. The company no longer brews its own beer.

Awesome, lots of brewery goodness, that ghetto blaster is one hell f an example, never seen one that swallows vinyl though, bit of a rarity, those castle at night shots are pretty cool too, thanks for sharing !
