That is what i used to like about going over there.
Walk into a public place, or private, and go..its still standing.
Tell you what though. Not for people who have allergies. Some of those places are musty as hell.
I went to a small town near York for work. They put me in a hotel built in 1750. Top floor room with sloped roof. Only heater was a small radiant heater in the bathroom. NE england can be very cold in late December. Couple of nights I slept in my clothes to stay warm. North sea air is chilling.
