Lesley Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I've been watching it on BBC news.....it has gone while I was watching it such a shame Weston is our nearest seaside - but I've only been a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 It's our nearest seaside too and we go at least once a year often combined with a trip to Ikea in Bristol. The one thing I don't like about living in Cheltenham is it's distance from the sea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagazer Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Its awful isn't it. We went years ago. Apparently it had just been refurbished as well. Such a shame when old places catch fire, so much history involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenlass Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Tragic isn't it?? Do they know how the fire started yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 I don't think so but it looks like the cafe in the right hand tower was probably where it started. It only took 2 hours to be totally destroyed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 It only took 2 hours to be totally destroyed I think that is because most of the structure is made of wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
