- Public Meeting on future of RAVEN HOTEL
• The Raven Hotel, Droit...
The listed Raven Hotel in Droitwich would be party demolished to make way for 51 new homes, preserving the long-term future of the building.
The central part of the St Andrews Road hotel which is grade II-listed - and dates back to the late 16th century - will be kept as well as some of the later buildings.
A plan to build up to 51 homes, which included a mix of flats, terraced, detached and semi-detached homes, as well as space for a bar and restaurant was backed in 2018 by the council.
The new plan would now see only homes built on the site including nine two-and-three-bed flats, 22 terraced houses and 20 two-to-four-bed homes.
The hotel had fallen into a shocking state of disrepair and pictures emerged on social media late last year showing the extent of the damage.
Many people were left angry and disappointed that the historic building had been left to fall into such a bad state.

I love English buildings. My grandmother's family was the Nottingham family. I still have distant cousins in England.mi love history in general. It's unfortunate that idiots think they have a right to destroy beautiful old buildings and relics. Thank you for recording history, preserving a piece of historical masterpiece.
My home of 30 years , was a beautiful hotel. But purposely left to rot “legally “ the chalets were staff accommodation , such a beautiful place like the old Worcestershire hotel and the chateau impney x
Wait people permanently lived there?
Wow! So much left behind! Amazing! Rotten flooring, copper thieves and holes in the floor! Better than the last few videos! But always a pleasure to watch your videos! From San Francisco CA Dsoulda
Great explore Matt,this place wash massive,lovely in it's day,looking forward to part 2
Great vid Matt laughed at the Jimmy saville chair best out there keep it up great entertainment now then now then great explore Look forward 2nd part👍👍👍
Hi Matt, Dan and flex, cool explore lads, Matt Dan said bricks where first used in building in the 17th century I think bricks where used earlier in the 14th or the 15th century in the Tudor times plus the ancient Egyptians used mud bricks and the Romans where the inventors of concrete. Wow this hotel is massive I wonder how many rooms where in this place. Thanks lads .
Tried to do this one today and they’ve blocked up the way you guys got in through the hedges from the care home. As we were in the bushes someone came through the gate looking at us 😂
Theres another way in now we made a way around
Any hints? Maybe message me on Instagram?
Yo pal go thru the road across from the lido thru the gates and in the car park theres 2 trees without branches you can climb to get through the roof by the entrance
Hi matt, I think the first building you were in was probably staff accommodation, the bottle you found is angostura bitters it's something that's added to cocktails, I thinkit was actually poisonous and they had to change the ingredients at some point in the past.
These multiple part videos are good. Thank you for these.
grew up in that town - sad to see it like that
What a shame, that last room with the fireplace (near the grand piano) looks like it was an amazing space at one time.
1st class video to watch thank you take care kind regards from me kenneth
Crazy history, I’ve just been reading about it. Kings have stayed there. Looks like the owners Malvern Homes are still in business and it still has planning permission to be turned into 51 homes, work was supposed to commence in 2020, I guess pandemic delayed everything? Or they just gave up! Hope they save it soon or it’s just going to not be worth their while, probably already isn’t given the state of it 😔 It’s previously had lottery grants and all sorts to preserve it’s listed status and it still ends up like this 😫
The use of red brick in Britain starting back in the 1190 Construction on this began in the 11th century, reusing materials from the Roman British town Verulamium. The earliest known use of brick manufactured in the UK after the Romans left is widely regarded as being Coggeshall Abbey in Essex, the oldest parts of the monastic buildings dating to 1190.
I appreciate everything and everywhere you guys go. I understand that there will be some weeks you all can't explore the best places, travel or finding a place you all didn't explore already or even finding one at all. Sometimes the places are dumps and not worth the film or you all get caught and even the police are involved. Plus you all got to be safe in questionable places as well. So if a video isn't uploaded in a week or more, I'll watch some of your older videos or go to your buddies videos or older ones of theirs. There is always something to watch on your and the crew's channel's.
Gonna watch this and the other part later tonight quite allot to see I’d imagine inside.
I worked there as a trainee manager (turned out to be a glorified poter) in 1986 to Jan 1987. As said the chalets you first went in were for staff I saw my old room. I thought it was a bit run down then! Bit weird seeing it again after all these years. Thanks for making the video 👍
I also caught the habit of saying "Folks", darn it.
destroyers of Heritage 😣 I wish it was for the elderly it would off been a lovey place were you would be happy to live and have them butlers getting there tea and dinner.
Crikey..... imagine being the local painter and decorator and getting the call... "hi its The Raven here. Could you come give us a quote to paint all the outside windows, black timber beams and white panels. It might need a couple of you"
The first building you got into is the staff hostel, they put the pay machine in when it closed you used to be able to park there then they stopped that it was used for event parking when they had something on in the town for the people who had stalls and now it’s not used at all x
Really enjoyed 1st part huge building see u on part 2
Thanks Matt Another good one Back To Watch The Other Part!!!
Yes podiatry it is now. I always knew it as Chiropodist until about 25 years ago, when my eldest son had to see someone about his feet.
Trying to knock Dan & Flex out with your toxic farts I see 💨🤣😂
The inside of the hotel is awesome, I bet it looked beautiful in its day..
Good explore Matt good to see you with Flex and Dan
Great explore, what a gem love matts inuendos and sarcastic jokes, it's not hard it's like a black man on a nudist beach!!😂😂😂
The bottle looks like Angostura Bitters used in cocktails etc,,,
What a shame I bet in it’s time it was an amazing place x
Can’t believe you were in my town yesterday,been interested in what the Raven hotel looks like inside,we also been to an abandoned house by Robin Hood pub that we could take you too hit us up
Hey Matt hope ur feeling better now. 🙏❤️🙏. And this ….. It’s so sickening …. It’s happening all over the country these buildings should be cherished and restored…. But no they throw these plastic houses up like there’s no tomorrow ooh I’m so angry 😤 😳😤
I fell through the floor here also was inside watching the security lol great place thou
Back in the 70's football players used to stay there if they had to go to the Brine baths for treatmenton muscle injures,
ashtrays.. from when public houses were for the public.. not just fascists and their pet sheep.

When The Raven Calls, Do You Answer?

Great explore 👍
Bricks are, without a doubt, one of the oldest known building materials. They date back to 7000 BC where they were first found in southern Turkey and around the city of Jericho. The first bricks were sun-dried and made from mud. 7000 BC Not far off Dan lol.
I wonder what the future holds for this once grand old building? Turned into expensive flats?, or god forbid, the building being demolished. I just cannot imagine a modern housing complex standing in the footprint of that once proud building. Sadly, with the spread of cheap travel lodges, and air b and b cropping up everywhere, places like this are bound to carry on closing down.
It's been left to rot on purpose so they can knock parts down and build on it
@@Creedmc85 It would not surprise me if it mysteriously burnt down. Here in North Devon that seems to happen a lot to old hotels where the developers cannot get permission to knock it down. So it mysteriously burns down instead.
I remember someone flew a drone over and you could see lots of roof tiles were taken off and stacked up, it was obviously done to allow the weather in to help speed up the deterioration of the place. Low and behold they have no other option but to pull down what they can and put nice new accommodation there. Where you see the new looking flats in the video, that used to be a old hotel called the Worcestershire, that was pulled down and as you can see flats were put there. Soon there will only be the château left but again that's closed down recently so who knows what will happen there.
At time stamp 44.44 I could hear a woman's voice don't know if anyone else hear it ?
two thumbs up
Jordan is fab ..
Staff Quarters
It may be a water meter
Sounds like old cue balls on a pool table ,48:12-48:16 , thought about it being a bar so i thought it sounded like someone still playing pool.🥰
Awesome!!
👍👍😎
they were making mud bricks in Egypt how long ago ?
Inn the UK 11th Century what we now see as bricks started to be used. Yeah I was interested in what Dan said so had to look... im going to have to check with him further what he was referring to.
Looks like a nice old fashioned village
U could say that iv lived in droitwich all my life and all down are high street by the raven is all from back in the day just a shame are raven hotel wasnt taken better care of

@@jimmyelliott7473 😁
@@jimmyelliott7473 read my comment above if you want to know about that topic! 🤣
@@jimmyelliott7473 Its called idle banter before we get in... keep em entertained and educate lol
@@TheSecretVault love it 😁👍❤
Hi Matt giving Dan the benefit of your farts really you needed Jordan to get your own back on him or Taffy . Stay Safe x
Mine make sound but dont smell too bad because I dont eat meat 99% of the time.
Ear plugs in the pink bogs..lol
@@kennethgardner3310 please dont post locations here, email me.
Dan drink tonic water for your hay fever.
Omg lmao Matthew, I didn’t think you would leave in the story of the Rabbi named Keith! 🤣 too bloody funny! 😂 epic explore this was.
Cheers 🍻 mate! 😎👍
Edit: For this who are wondering…
If you don’t want to know then don’t read beyond here!!
The Limerick of The Rabbi named Keith
There once was a Rabbi named Keith
Like to circumcise boy with his teeth
It wasn’t for leisure or sexual pleasure
But just to get to the cheese underneath!
😂 sorry folks, I did warn you! 😎👍
LOL... boom boom.
@@TheSecretVault don’t ask me about Farther Fred., or Brother Nelson, I got plenty more where that came from 🤣👍
think you mean podiatrist for sorting feet lol :)
"So what exactly is a chiropodist and what’s the difference between podiatrist and chiropodist work? Simply put, there is actually no technical difference between a chiropodist and a podiatrist in how they work; “chiropodist” and “chiropody” are the outdated terms for doctors that specialize in foot problems. The terms were respectively replaced by “podiatrist” and “podiatry” around the second half of the 20th century." (essexunionpodiatrydotcom)
Podiatry is just a newer term. means the same thing ;-) Also Podiatry is more a USA term and Chiropodist (pod meaning foot - chiro meaning hand... so basically someone who hands/manipulates feet) is more a UK term.
@@TheSecretVault well you learn something new every day, wouldn’t think the other half is at university studying podiatry or should I now say chiropodistry 😂
No idea what the difference is I think it’s the same thing
that sign has been there as long as I can remember, there are couple of other chiropodists in town x
Them farts that you can chew on..u already know dan
