Sunlight streams into the Terminus Hotel's abandoned beer garden. Peeling paint and graffiti cover the walls lining this thoroughfare. Empty tables and chairs stand, silent within the decaying urban environment.

03 THE STORY

About this print

A passage runs through the back of the Terminus Hotel from the rear of the public bar out to the beer garden, a short corridor with a half-glazed door at each end. The walls of the passage are plastered, painted in the institutional dark green of the pub's working areas. The floor is timber, scuffed and stained where decades of glasses, ash, and rainwater were tracked through. A row of coat hooks runs along one wall. The far door, leading to the beer garden, is boarded over from outside; the inner side of the door carries the original timber frame and brass handle. The light reaches the passage from the bar end and from a high glazed panel above the boarded door.

The beer-garden passage was the route from the public bar to the outdoor drinking area at the back of the pub, used heavily on summer afternoons through the working life of the building. The visible building is the 1917 Tooth and Co. demolition and rebuild, and the beer garden was part of the original layout. The pub closed in 1983 and the back door was boarded over to keep the garden secure during the 33 years of vacancy. The 2018 restoration reopened the passage and brought the beer garden back into service.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

Corrugated sheeting leans across the doorframe, held in place by a makeshift lattice of timber braces.
