Spooky pictures show abandoned nightclub and spa left to rot

Spooky pictures capture an abandoned nightclub and spa that have been left to decay.

The former Pinetops health and beauty club in Formby - which had an adjoining country club called Shorrocks Hill, which had function suites, restaurants, bars and a nightclub - has been left to rot, the Liverpool Echo reports.

The building used to play host to people wanting to relax and take time out.

The spa had heated pools, sauna rooms and a nightclub attached.

The venue was used by celebrities and footballers.

Closed in 2015, the venue now sits empty and abandoned, in scenic surroundings.

Explorer and Instagrammer Daniel Sims toured the old venue in March with friends in a video posted to his Youtube channel.

Pictures taken in March by Instagrammer and explorer Daniel Sims (Bearded Reality) show the decaying areas in and around the country club and spa.

An outside pool is captured filled with rubbish and debris built up since the venue's closure in 2015.

The abandoned nightclub floor is covered with DVDs- one of the more unusual discoveries.

There is smashed glass and a lot of damage to the room but reminders of the past are seen- with shot glasses and pumps.

Speaking to the Echo about his visit to the venue in Formby, Daniel said: "The place itself feels like you're in another country on holiday, with the palm trees and all the other stuff.

"It is generally not something you expect to see.

"First of all it is very rare that you will find an abandoned spa especially in the UK, so that threw me off a bit."

For their own safety, individuals are not advised to enter private and derelict premises under any circumstances.
