The Bungalow Inn was a thriving family pub famed for its friendly atmosphere and live music where people would stop before jetting off on their holidays.
Today, the Redhill pub lies empty and abandoned near Bristol Airport made all the eerier by its colourful sign out the front promoting its ‘fun zone’ inside. Urban explorer and Youtuber, The Secret Vault has explored the derelict building which is now significantly rundown and has been left to rot since closing in 2016.
Upon entering the premises through a smashed window, Secret Vault was greeted by the fun zone and it’s clear that the area was true to its name once upon a time. The colourful children’s play area is complete with a climbing frame, ball pit and twisting slide - a dream for any kid visiting the pub and parent trying to enjoy a pint in peace. Shards of glass and broken chairs and various other pieces of debris can be found scattered around the fun zone.
Further investigation showed the extent to which this once popular destination has disintegrated and here are 12 images showing what it looks like now.
