I am also one of the family that lived there from 1976 to 1982 and it was a brilliant pub. The flat upstairs was lovely, really cosy and even then the floors were a bit wobbly!! My heart was in my mouth when you went upstairs. Your filming brought back many memories, thank you.
I lived here from 1976 to 1982 my dad was the landlord there. You were spot on with all your ideas on what the rooms were. That was the cellar and opposite that was indeed the kitchen. Upstairs the rooms past the lounge to the left which were covered in Spider webs was the bathroom opposite that and my folks' bedroom which was huge. This brought back lots of memories.
The pub closed initially due to storm damage to the gable end which made it unsafe not bankrupcy. I worked there for many years for different landlords. The land was not used as a campsite but rallies were held there with bands playing. Plans were put in to convert the building into living accommodation with a shop/post office on the ground level. The locals objected although I am not sure why. It was a good pub with fantastic locals and situated on a busy road during the summer months. Such a shame to see it fall in such disrepair with contractors using the land to store materials and machinery
I remember as a child they had steam and traction engine rallies there . I went to them ( family from St. Ive, still there). yes, there was a cattle market and yes, it did close when the end of the pub fell down. The lounge bar was used as a restaurant. I remember eating there after my now hubby and I had gone to see the Rector over the road to arrange our wedding. Too late to want to cook at home 🙂 The public bar did have a pool table and as I recall a juke box. It was noisy in there anyway! Hence we went to the lounge. I remember, more latterly, before it closed, they also did take away fish and chips on Thursday(?) nights. I think objections to the shops and flats were largely about the fact we all knew that shops do not work in St. Ive anymore. The post office and shop ( where Gimlets is) closed as well as the petrol station. People just dont use them. Back in the old days, when Mrs Libby had her shop ( opposite up the road) and when the Co op had a place on the cross, but that was back in the 1950's. Modern St. Ive is above local shops and a bit of a dormitory village I think. Shame, but things change and the plans for shops would just have left the place derelict again in a couple of years I think.
Unfortunately you’re very wrong…. It’s not trespassing!!!! Google the law and it’s very clear to all. These guys do not break in, do not damage anything and are documenting bits of crumbling historical & buildings of interest for educational purposes for present and future generations. I guarantee that 90% of what you looking at here will be new build flats in the next 10 years. Keep your sympathetic and respectful explorations up guys. Great job again ❤

What you just very obviously did, was trespass. And I am pretty sure that door was secure before.
Chill out did you see them break in ???? No, did you see them damage anything? NO
Your name does suit you KAREN
Thankyou for your support, we don't break in, we don't damage and we don't steal and we record everything. Have an amazing day
