radfordred 6,284 Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 When was this Nick? Last night Nobody was hurt when the fire ripped through buildings on The Parade, including nightclubs, amusement arcades and restaurants. The blaze centred on the Lucky Strike arcade and Buster's Fun Pub. Millions of pounds worth of damage has been caused to premises, including the Grand Hotel, which sits behind the modern arcade and is one of the town's oldest buildings. A spokesman for Lincolnshire Police said roads have been closed off and people are advised to avoid the area. "Enquiries will be continuing to establish the cause of the fire," the spokesman added. A spokesman for Lincolnshire County Council said the popular family resort is still open for tourists despite the road closures and traffic restrictions. Up to 200 firefighters attended the blaze and water had to be pumped from two nearby swimming pools when supplies from fire appliances ran low. "Members of the public have been asked to avoid the area around the clock tower as there are traffic restrictions, but with many popular attractions in the town, Skegness is still open for business," the spokesman said. © Independent Television News Limited 2007.

Why the swimming pools, ain't there a few billion gallons nearby (or was the tide out?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Caz 25 Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Oh I think that's really sad Red. It will take a long time for Skeggy to recover from that fire,luckily the winter is fast approaching, at least if they get a wiggle on they might be able to rebuild some of it before next summer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
