Blackpool Hotel Fire 🔥 Aftermath: Day 3

[@tomsmith7110]

What a professional report this man is doing

[@JohnHughes2002]

Better than the MSM, no doubt!

[@JAJL667]

Town Council should be ashamed of themselves allowing a hotel like Hacketts to fall into disrepair. It was always going to "spontaneously combust"! Great update Stephen.

[@moonagedaydream4489]

Fantastic coverage of this story Stephen, delivered with the professionalism that other Blackpool KZbinrs lack. Exceptional camera work, and the style of reporting that makes viewers hungry for more xxx

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Moonage xx

[@Mrs_Em]

I despair of some Blackpool KZbinrs, Moonage! 😂

[@sharonnewton3760]

Thanks for all the coverage you're doing on this, very good content 😊

[@davidnm21]

Very professional finish and quality video vlog Stephen. The superb footage, the general visuals, intros, audio and production felt slick and informative a true pro at your game. No wonder you’ve been given the title “Mr Blackpool” and indeed the town’s top KZbinr.

Probably over 1,000 of degrees heat and the 'New Hackets' sign still didn't burn or melt, or get damaged. Wowser!

[@sonny2004]

Once again many thanks 😀

[@iap-ug3oy]

It is all very sad ..Blackpool is a complete mess …..If you go down the side streets most of the small hotels are closed and the houses look such. a Mess ..The Golden summer days have long gone for Blackpool…. Just look at all the boarded up hotels.SAD,SAD,

[@robinharrison3907]

Thanks Stephen 👍Nice to keep people in the loop 👍Very interesting video 👍👍

[@annette7449]

Hi such a shame, I stayed at the Berkeley apartments last Oct with my family which is very near the hotel that was damaged . 😮

[@neilwatcham8932]

Hiya, what a shame that is... I'm from Essex, my wife and I where staying at the norbreck castle not to far away from there only 2 weeks ago.. we really enjoyed our time in blackpool and will be re visiting in October to see the lights.... maybe see u vlogging..

[@racheljohnson9687]

Thanks for the updates. Its such a shame what theyve done to that place & i hope they get caught its such a beautiful art deco building gone to waste im just pleased it didnt take the whole row out ❤😢

[@SteveW139]

They were very quick to get a demolition contractor on site. It’s almost as if they were on standby.

[@juliepownall1063]

Hi stephen thanks for the info you make a great reporter thanks for letting us know whats going on 👍

[@garythomason9724]

Evening Stephen another brilliant report

[@mikestraveldiary]

We are not just seeing you once tonight but twice tonight. How awesome 👌 👏

You can’t get away from me lol 😂

[@mikestraveldiary]

@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool Not tonight 😆 😂

[@stephenkelly1887]

I see what you mean about the Cliffs canopy. Never thought about it before. The only time i was i a planetarium was in London for a laser show set to Genisis music. I fell asleep!

[@Taraking12345]

Love your videos very profetional and creative too you should be on tv with your videos your dedication and work you put into every video for everybody is amazing and your knowledge of blackpool is incredible keep doing what your doing your doing your brillent

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks you 🙏

Great video thanks for the update stephen top man

[@mandyrayner5881]

Hiya Stephen your doing a fantastic job with this video 👍

[@frothe42]

Terrible that the hotel will be knocked down. In its current state it is very unsafe. I doubt they will find the culprit who started the fire. Thank you for the update!

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks for watching 🙏

[@prettyseasider1]

I used to work there 25 years

[@frothe42]

@@prettyseasider1 It must break your heart that the place where you once worked is being demolished.

[@prettyseasider1]

They have it was two teenagers 17 and 18 lads have been charged with arson

[@tinniswood2577]

Top reporting from the scene.

[@nickw7273]

Another amazing video, its really sad to see so many of these hotels dissappearing.

[@uk-martin4905]

It is tragic to see the decline of King Edward Avenue. It used to be a rather select avenue with many well-appointed guest houses. It appears to have entered the spiral of decline which has affected the rest of the town. Tragic.

[@jeanwalker3752]

Great video as usual Stephen.xxxx

[@stuartandrews4344]

There was also a porch fire in Elizabeth Street same day, just 10 minutes apart, 3 pumps from Blackpool, Bispham and South Shore attended...

[@anoshya]

The New Hacketts advert says they have a friendly relaxing atmosphere in the hotel..until you smell the smoke drifting up the corridor

[@robmorton4560]

Thanks for the brilliant updates Stephen.Your videos are very professional J.D. Yung. Chinese demolition company.....

Thanks Stephen Yet again for the excellent ongoing report on this latest “Mystery 🔥” Should get a double dose of everything with this one eh 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@terrycraddock9265]

Thank You.

[@jacquelinemccann1493]

Great video once again Stephen thank you take care 👍

[@clivelight6059]

Another great video, many thanks 61 owners - wow. I assume they will all receive a bill from the Council to pay for the emergency demolition etc ?

[@X-GamerPro-HD]

They must’ve used something really really flammable. Maybe they must’ve put a few propane tanks in there. Who knows. But must’ve been really really flammable and used a lot to make it that big. Really big well done to the fire crew.

[@Lazer_Media]

That's a gorgeous lens.

[@mikebridge.679]

It will start to come down tomorrow, but will it all come down. Looking from the front the left side could be saved, I would who makes that decision. Another great report, thank you,

[@theculturedthug6609]

A drone footage would be ace!!!

[@stuartandrews4344]

There some excellent drone footage over at Connors World YT channel. Great coverage & reporting yet again Stephen.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

It’s the one thing missing.

[@stuartandrews4344]

@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool You don't realise the size of the hotel site until you see the drone footage, Fire service did an amazing job stopping it spreading & taking out the whole site.

[@dazmc7744]

Fantastic coverage mate👍🏻 sad site tho😮

[@jamesdraycott]

Had a feeling the trams would be on a go so said that in the live the other night

[@lindahughes4409]

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Hi Janette.

[@winklepicking3202]

Never been so invested in what’s going to happen to this hotel lol, not been to Blackpool in years, used to go regular and we’d either stay on Hull Road or in the Hilton, before it was called the Hilton, I’m sure it started with a P back then. Please keep us up to date, drone footage would be interesting to see the full extent of the damage.

[@cpmeadows]

It was called The Pembroke Hotel.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Pembroke, Stakis, Hilton & now The Grand.

[@wendyjones2351]

Hi Stephen thank you for another great video as always well that is certainly going to have to be demolished what a shame should never had happened in the first place have a great day xx

[@graemenicol6377]

I'm just hoping when it needs to be demolished it doesn't effect any other Hotels on that block like The New Chelvedon.

[@booth2710]

Blimey. Blackpool is having better weather than London!

[@barryrathbone]

We had a new tram that looks like a police car! Amazed the sign survived as very little else did. Have they sorted out the old vans yet?

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Still there, but maybe not tomorrow

[@ronpollitt1070]

well dun ste for doing 3 day up date

[@Sylvia-Storm]

I really had a great urge to wave at the tram driver.

[@paulmaclachlan6960]

Thanks for the update Mr Blackpool :)

[@rachellunn4843]

Why are the trams running slow,if anything I thought they wasn't running till its demolished,Stephen I seen on news other day mr Basras all u can eat was giving 0 ratings and been told need to make urgent changes,maybe you could do a video on it,I booked a table there for when in Blackpool in September but don't think will bother now unless it changes 😢

[@AudiophileTommy]

Chris is going to build his mega -new 1 pound burger mall on the site opening Easter 2024

[@Fortbox324]

It is ashame it is going to be destroyed 😢

[@booth2710]

That whole row will probably have to come down - the heat alone would have damaged the rest of the brick work even if untouched by fire.

[@EmmaJones925]

Was wondering the other day is there any history why it was called New Hacketts

[@uk-martin4905]

This was for many years the York Hotel . It was a a single property which then was subsequently purchased in the late 1980s by a Mr Dale Hackett who had, according to the local evening paper at the time, interests in the local nightclub and / or music business if I remember correctly. He very quickly had new signage adding his name - i..e. Hacketts York House hotel which remained in place a number of years. In the early 1990s whilst I was living in Bispham I remember he seemed to embark on a huge programme of expansion - hs name regularly appeared in the Evening Gazette in connection with his businesses - taking in the adjoining two or three hotels. 😅At that time, the 'York' name disappeared and was replaced with his own. I left Blackpool in 1997 as the town spiralled into decline; I assume that, like other hotels, his business, too, started to struggle.

[@dianeblackburn6700]

Well if that's not deliberate, I'll eat the cat !

[@theculturedthug6609]

I wonder who owns those vans, they must be scarp because if they were worth anything I'm sure they would be collected.

[@MarkJones-sf4cn]

Sad for this Hotel to go Stephen.... Stayed in Cliffs.

[@RB-jq6gh]

They are still taking bookings...said that the stag,hen party crowd wouldn't notice.🤪💃🕺

[@jamiesmith8042]

Superb video that....

[@StaffordshireTravelAdventures]

i wonder if it is an insuranse job. so they can get some money back. is this the same hotel you did a few months ago with no front door on?

[@ScottishNSRailFan]

When I arrive in Blackpool in five weeks for five days, probably will see a gap site.

[@francesjbutterworth5083]

T update Stephen love your vlogs stay safe .

[@Gordon669]

Failing business on fire? Noooo , no way 🙂

[@Kiinell]

The hotel next door (The Welbeck) closed down a few years before The Hacketts.

[@georgesmellie8717]

Stephen i can see you reading the news soon

[@francesjbutterworth5083]

What's going to happen with the Van's parked at the side of the building they should be moved before they demolish it.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

I should think so.

[@JulieJackson-gw2vh]

Can't wait to arrive on the 23rd of may such a shame about the hotel 😢

I bet the people round the corner at number 1 were a bit worried when the fire was at its worst ,do you think they had been evacuated ?

Not sure.

..never mind..it was an eye sore anyway...left there to rot..not a nice view 4 holiday folk..🤔

Wat was the hotel called a long time ago till now m8 cos my mam and dad wants to know if you can please thank you

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

York House, I think.

[@lynnjackson8664]

Yes, York House Hotel. Run by my family from 1925-1984. Then new owners took over the Holborn Hotel next door and the White Lodge on the corner. Devastating to see it today.

[@ronpollitt1070]

should be the old Hackett's

Looking to rehome the traders hopefully to another part of town we need to find a new home 4 the joke shop too
