I worked here for a years. The whole situation sounds fishy. Kicking out dwp before the lease expires without warning. Now its up in flames. I wonder what the landlord's intentions are now... Land for housing?

Quick question. Was this hotel formerly called The Ruskin Arms Hotel before New Hacketts? The reason I’m asking is because the building looks exactly the same and as I went back to view my Stag weekend footage back in 2016 and it was on the exact location on the exact corner on the same street?

Interesting. Normally with land like that, they will set fire to it so burns low. The Heli maybe being used to drop water on certain areas to control fire. THATS JUST A GUESS THOUGH.
@Goldie6449 ай бұрын
After the amount of rain we've had recently I very much doubt that the ground needed any more water - the problem would be to get a fire going in the first place. My guess is some kind of fertiliser to encourage growth to prevent erosion

It's a shame so many old style British buildings like this are going and being replaced with soulless student flats, retirement homes and retail blocks. Places like this had a lot of character right down to the quirky bay windows and grand staircases. Things felt unique and not cloned over and over. I'd take an avacado bathroom suite and and old pattered carpet over the ultra modern stuff anyday.

I am an historian and preservationist. It sounds like you and I hold the same love and sentiments regarding vintage buildings. However, in many instances like this, the heat of the fire actually weakens or compromises the structure of the individual bricks or stones themselves. In these cases, even the masonry 'shell' walls (even though the blaze didn't bring them down) can't be saved to become historic facades with new construction behind. It's common for people to find this perplexing because, in the mind, masonry construction is connected with the idea of being 'fire proof.'

@@milels6917 I have the impression that, in this case, no investigation was even done regarding whether the historic, brick 'shell' of the building could be preserved. Maybe it was salvageable (excluding the rear wall) and could've been made safe and sound by infilling the shell with new construction. Or maybe not. Sadly, we'll never know because it was a rush to 'rid the city' of a structure that local government was biased against as it saw only a long string of code violations.
