Three stainless steel beer kegs sit on a concrete floor. Two rest on a wooden pallet against the far wall. The third stands alone beside a coiled length of hose and a steel wheel rim. A timber chute leans into the corner, its steps buried under dried leaves and thick cobwebs. Plaster peels from the walls in wide, damp patches, exposing bare render beneath. A thin blade of daylight enters from above, catching the dust in the air. The Terminus Hotel operated as a regional pub for over a century before closing its doors. The cellar served as the keg store, receiving deliveries through the chute from street level. By 2016, the building had stood vacant for years. The kegs never left.
