 |  |  | Braces Pub, Ramsgate UK - DEC 2011
< on 1/1/2012 6:36 PM >
|  | | | Final explore of the year, visited with a non-member.
This pub has been derelict for quite a while now. History is a bit scarce, but according to local people, it was originally called the Duke of Kent, then the Swiss Cottage, before finally becoming Braces. I was quite surprised, as I imagined this site to be quite uninspiring and completely trashed. It has been vandalized far less than I expected - some of the pint glasses are still stacked neatly on the shelves! I also found the interior design quite unique, certain parts, such as the staircase, resemble something you might find in a large manor house, rather than a pub.

On the other hand, I think any place charging extra for admission to a "VIP" area should fail.
Thanks for the photos. It's a pretty cool structure, at what looks to be a good location, so hopefully it'll re-open as something soon.
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people. |

I agree with you, it is a very nice building. The area has had a period of economic depression, but a lot of new businesses are opening up. So I am hoping to see this place reopened!
