Inside ghostly Victorian Station Hotel as haunting images show state of crumbling venue

Fresh images have revealed the shocking state of inside Ayr’s crumbling Station Hotel.

Pictures have emerged this week showing the vast internal damage inside the ghost Victorian building.

Eerie images show the abandoned reception, former hotel bar and function room.

Bizarrely a packet of condoms was found underneath a single bed in the hotel’s attic.

The grim discoveries were made by urban explorer group Urbex Outlaws who snuck in to capture footage.

The group posted in excess of 50 photos, capturing rooms left to rot, with chairs still propped up at the bar and drink glasses left deserted.

Some pictures show the extent of mould in the former hotel, with an old cash till from the hotel's nightclub caked in mould and an abandoned Henry Hoover also covered in spores.

Some images of hallow corridors show the roofs completely caved in with cables hanging down and wallpaper shedding off.

The pictures were shared on Urbex Outlaws Facebook with onlookers shocked at the state of the building.

A post of Urbex Outlaws said: “The Station Hotel, opened in 1885 and closed in 2011. With over 300 rooms, 3 bars and a dance hall this once beautiful hotel now lies in disrepair slowly crumbling from the inside."

Some were saddened with the state of disrepair to the beautiful building, whilst others felt the damning pictures were enough evidence to see the ruin torn down.

The building is still encased in scaffolding after a four year saga between council chiefs and the hotel’s absentee Malaysian owner Eng Huat Ung.

Earlier this month we told how more giant holes had appeared again in the scaffolding of the south side of the B-listed building.

The protective white tarpaulin which surrounding the crumbled building was breached for the second time in 12 months as council crews scrambled to repair the gaping craters.

It comes as a Station Hotel pressure group claimed that the building still has a future and CAN be saved.

The group called on officials at both local and national level to get around the table for talks aimed at finally breaking the stalemate.
