The Gunrunners retreat is a former 'lockup' from a no longer plant hire firm....Measuring 32ft long by 8ft high by 8ft wide it has totally been constructed inside totally by myself from predominantly redundant and recycled materials.It has a full 8ft long bar that was totally hand constructed complete with a bank of 3 hand pumps....It has 2 distinct areas the bar area being piratically themed and the lounge area having a Route 66 feel....It has amazing charm throughout and even has its own library section.
The 18mm panels used to line the bar out were destined for a skip when a kitchen firm closed down....The windows and doors were also destined for a skip and have been recycled. The bar is named in honour of my father who passed away from cancer in 1991 and also my brother who sadly passed away from the same cancer in 2016......Sadly neither of them will be able to have a pint here but we have a beautifully handcrafted memory bench in situ for them...
