I am fascinated by urban and architectural decay. Sometimes crumbling buildings lie untouched by demolishers and developers for years, and often serve as time capsules of times now passed. There have been several abandoned hotels scarring the promenades of Newquay Cornwall UK in recent years. In this video I gain access to an abandoned seaside hotel and explore the relics left inside. I also uncover a shocking discovery as I venture further into the hotel.

Thank you Wendell for this video I’ve spent many a year going to the California Hotel with kids birthday party’s bowling and work dos..I really do hope that this hotel does not fall to the same fate as The Edgcumbe hotel. I was so shocked when I heard it had shut its doors… 😔

Its a tragedy when buildings are left to rack and ruin. But also sit empty when there are so many homeless. You were definately brave going up those stairs.

A great video . I go down every summer & have noticed how the Edgumbe has deteriorated. When I first used to go , it was a really busy hotel . They even had a Chevrolet minibus , that they used to ferry guests into town .

I had my wedding reception in the hotel california 27 years ago, sad to see that its going to be demolished. I also worked in the Edgecumbe around the same time. The first part that you thought was some sort of reception area (before you went in to the kitchen) was actually a serving table where guests would go to get their desserts in the evening. Where you first went through the window was my station! So heartbreaking to see it has been allowed to fall in to that state, it was one of thw better hotels back in the day!

Thanks for sharing this video. I started my professional DJ career around the hotel circuit in 1976 which included the Edgecumbe. Really sad to see the progressive decline of not only this hotel but the whole hospitality industry in the uk! We all flocked abroad for guaranteed sun with cheap flights and hotels,sadly we now see the results. It will probably get redeveloped into apartments for those who can afford.

Theres no nightlife any more so who wants to use the hotels, so many of the good venues have closed/never open, and the town is full of tiny little cafe/bars that one goes in. Yes Newquay had problems with anti social behavior back in the day but that happens everywhere, the NIMBYS moaning have caused the town to be dead on a weekend! Its only busy a few weeks in summer now. There's hardly anything left that will attract crowds.

Yes, sad to see buildings like these becoming derelict rather than housing homeless people properly. Shows that our failure to get rid of homelessness is purely due to the govt and other authorities not giving a toss. Asylum seekers, if anything, keep hotels open and stop many going the same way & when "processed" and if allowed to stay, generally make a very positive contribution to our country.
