Its walls collapsing and roof gone, this historic hotel on the Midlands Highway, near Jericho, is disappearing fast.

Alongside it are the ruined stables where generations ago coach horses were changed.

The building has been vacant for two years. Since then it looks as though Nature has been trying to carve it into a brick and mortar “mushroom” (note shape).
