Hacketts Hotel - Demolition day 2

[@jobsworthism]

Definitely the best footage of this on KZbin by country mile

[@nickthomas181]

Yes for the drone but other KZbinrs have there own spin which cant be taken away from them.

[@binarybox.binarybox]

Excellent photography showing the extent of the damage....impressive Grab operator and the drone footage.,,,subbed.

[@knottyal2428]

Not the first rodeo for the operator of the big machine! Excellent drone footage of this site, gives everyone the best view.

[@berylmaynard4103]

Love the drone footage much better than "on the floor" you can see exactly what's going on. Keep droning!!!!

[@terrylynch1259]

Brilliant!....Very Good Coverages...

[@X-GamerPro-HD]

Stephen from walk on the wild side said it’s not insured.

[@Goldie644]

Yes - someone ( sorry, can't remember who ) was speaking to the owner, who bought it from the Receiver

[@mrroderick6110]

That was Visit Fylde Coast KZbinr

[@X-GamerPro-HD]

Well we know who might’ve started it. 16yr old and 18yr old was arrested….

[@Scuzzie59]

Great watching from above as well as at ground level thanks for awesome video coverage.

[@anthonynickson3667]

Very nice work - and editing - Many thanks

[@mrroderick6110]

Brilliant footage Goldie644. Looks incredible on a large Samsung Television screen. Iike the way you hold the drone in position like a true professional.😊

[@brucedavenport1324]

I bet there are a few old ghosts looking for new digs .

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

Fascinating watching this speeded up drone footage. It made me laugh when both machines were pulling the metal frame apart, looked like two dinosaurs fighting over a carcass.

[@adamwibiza]

😂😂

[@kenpickles7705]

Not insured correct. The two lads wats done all this. Should be locked up throw away key. Blackpool for you young roughnecks

[@kkrispy2009P]

[@hudsonrobert49]

[@JinSeonMiSamJang]

That little digger is really having problems picking stuff up .. Great footage!!

[@anthonycrompton6922]

Super when are you taking her up next ?

[@muckle8]

Is the plan to rebuild the damaged/ demolished area only and infill or demo the whole block?

[@marimurphy3856]

Ace.👍

[@bettyprice6316]

I love watching this, so exciting.

[@carolined5923]

Great drone footage. Was this whole building the hotel or just the part currently removed ? Does anyone live in the rest of the building.

[@uk-martin4905]

From the front, the fire-damaged block on the right was, in the 1980s, the York House hotel. Local businessman Dale Hackett who had interests in Blackpool nightclubs I believe, bought the hotel and renamed it Hackett's York House Hotel. In the early 1990s he expanded considerably, buying the three neighbouring hotels (up to King Edward Avenue) renaming the four hotels New Hacketts Hotel. In the years it has been empty, there have been several small fires there but sadly this was the big one from which no recovery is possible. A sad end to an imposing terrace built about 100 years ago.

[@teamidris]

You really get to see how a 30t machine is as strong as a 15t machine twice as far away. It was ripping those floor beams out :o) the driver is ace at decontaminating the site as he goes.

[@carolined5923]

👍 they have kept it really tidy too, the demolition company are doing a great job with the site etc.

[@Predators--cz2fb]

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?

[@juliebrooke6099]

Is there sound on this video? I don’t have any.

[@Goldie644]

No, no sound

[@markgrzywacz5642]

Looking at the footage it looks like the fire was started in different areas to me very suspicious

[@brianwillson9567]

What a fun job operating that wrecker.

[@reciprocating]

Who is paying for the demolition work?

[@arfabarmcake2776]

Best way to view is by a drone, really good vid 👍👍

[@ashpal-1]

great video excellent work on the drone operation.see the orange and white vans escaped any misfortune

[@angeleyes2163]

Back in the day,that was some big hotel with memories for people,such as a shame.

[@douglastodd1947]

Be as well knocking the lot down from the slated roof on the right side off screen to the adjoining street on the left. FIRE & WATERS WEAKENED THE REST. building a complete new building from adjoining street to tiled building would be easier to build & faster than trying to tie into 2 dodgy weakened walls 1 on either side.

[@ARCHSTANTON61]

superb, much better footage than blackpool biker.., keep up the good work..

[@apennell3575]

a LOT Rats will be seeking a new home.

[@chaseshadow]

FOLLOW THE MONEY . . . . .

[@sppenceslice300]
