Blackpool Hotel Fire 🔥 Aftermath: The New Hacketts
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 кві 2023
- I visited the New Hacketts Hotel on Queen's Promenade in Blackpool to film the aftermath of the fire, which had ravaged the building after starting the day before. The hotel has suffered fires before, since it became empty around 5 years ago.

It's really sad to see such a beautiful old building lost like this. My thoughts are with all of the fire fighters, they have worked tirelessly since the fire broke out. A huge thank you to you Stephen for bringing the best coverage of the story xxx
Agree, Moonage, such a tough job! X
Thanks Moonage xx
@Sheila HM It is very tough Sheila, and they are extremely brave xx
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool Wow 42.5k 😘 xx
@@shm1270 "such a tough job!" I noticed a number of female firefighters. Let's hope the fire brigade aren't ticking too many boxes 💪
Would not be surprised if it was started deliberately with the intention of burning it to a shell, so its demolished and the land can then be bought for cheap. Property developers would love the prime site.
not seen that happen before ;)
Most likely an insurance job plus the fact the hotel was to be turned into flats i believe people put some money down and those people have now lost there s Stephen said so I guess someone who bought the hotel deliberately set fire to it and not bother paying back those people a nasty way conning people

Stayed at the Savoy & the Cliffs, many times in the past. Both were sadly tired.
Blackpool appears to have a high ratio of Hotel fires!!
Thanks for the update Stephen best thing is to knock it down doesn't look safe
Looks like it Julie.
Oh what a mess. TBH it looked bad last night as you ended the live stream. Hope you got a good rest overnight Stephen. Thanks for your amazing and dedicated coverage.
I did, thanks Neil.

Hi Janette.
I remember jubilee Gardens had a stream running start from the top all way to bottom
Very badly damaged indeed. I would have thought they would have to determine the cause before they demolish it, unless it is obvious! I liked your presentation style in this one, Stephen!👍
Thanks Sheila.
No accident was it . . . . . . . All pre-arranged. LOGIC.
Thanks for the update 👍
Thanks Stephen, for the update and all the information that goes with the hotel, just stay safe. 😘💚
We have been to Blackpool many many times and love it. Always watch your videos, and was shocked to see the state of this hotel. Have sat outside here with a drink loads of times, and there’s hardly anything left.
Love your videos, thanks for making them
Thanks for the update mate great video once again Stephen
It's a sad day to see a hotel in that situation .
Great view to the lake district looks amazing..
Thanks for the videos you do' your doing a great job for all of us thank you.
That hotel was a big fire 🔥 it made the national news .
Fantastic video as always Stephen.
I just hope that no-one has been hurt.
Your account of its recent history does make me wonder about the cause of the fire.....
Great video steven thank you for keeping up-to-date
Thanks for the update Stephen 👍
Thanks for the update Stephen
Amazing video as always. Thanks for updating us 😊
Thanks for the update Stephen i hope you're well
No probs George.
Wow that looks really bad there is no way they could leave that up thank you for both blogs stephen see you on the next one x
Was great to see you yesterday morning ( I’m the one who was filming on iPhone) 😀 great vid too ⭐️👍
Such a shame what a lovely building think they will probably have to demolish part of it were fire destroyed the new Hacketts firefighters have done a great job need to be careful of asbestos in the airthanks for the update Stephen😊😊
All that asbestos in the air.Scary
Crackin video, and thanks for the shout out mate
No probs pal.
Top updates Mr C over @ the weekend Stephen I’ll check it out
Hi Stephen, thanks for the update on this. I hope you enjoyed the stones we were last there on 1st January 2000 early morning, big thumbs up
Thanks Peter.
hi steve, i hope nobody was in there. fires dont start on there own.
You never know David, but it seems it was deliberately started.
Great video mate thanks for the information on all this
Hi Stephen thank you for another great video as always wow well that's had it needs to be demolished I hate people that feel like they have to do such a dreadful thing have a great evening xx
What a shame beautiful building, round of applause 👏 to all the firemen there last night x😊
Agreed Julie 👏👏👏
Well said Julie C👏👏
@@davidnm21 ty David its very true 😊
Great update Stephen
It's good the local council made sure the building was empty before the fire. God only knows what could have happened?
Hi Stephen thanks for the update 👍
🙏
Hi stephen the fire seemed more concentrated in the core centre of the building looks really unsafe yes demolition will be needed for sure love jubilee gardens the sea looked lovely too the cliffs hotel is a majestic building really nice thanks again Stephen 👍
Thanks Julie.
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool your welcome it is sad though such a shame
The vans have been there years as they are shown on Google maps. I’ve seen a demolition sign outside Hackets now. Hopefully Maple and Berkeley will be safe. Coming up in November to stay at the Savoy lucky me!
Thanks for the update Stephen I think you’re coverage was probably better than some of the news channels 😂 but again so very sad to see a lovely old building being destroyed due to neglect 😢and I do hope it doesn’t affect the homes of the people who live behind in the houses! again you did a great job keeping us informed Thanks again and can’t wait until June till we visit , until next time Pauline from Blackpool living in Canada 🍁
Thanks for the kind compliment Pauline 🙏
No doubt the building will now be levelled. It's about time that the council started coming down on these landowners and started fining them for not looking after their buildings. I'm fed up seeing these beautiful old buildings being allowed to crumble. R.I.P Hacketts. 😢
Hello Steve how are you thank you for the update of the hacttled hotel fire at least nobody was hurt I think the trams just go to north pier but no further best wishes take care stay safe xx ❤
welldone for covering it.
The idea of turning large unused hotels into apartments is a sound idea, if it can be legally achieved.
Hi Stephen....whilst watching the McMaster channel I was surprised to hear you say it was 42 years since last time you was up the tower...surprised that you haven't made a vlog about the Tower...All the best...
Watch this space Martin!
Those vans are screaming to me insurance job 😬 they may have been hoping they’d have gone up too, such a shame to see this happen to an old building.
An Insurance Job?…….No surly not.😉
Hi there and have a great video like always keep up the good work. It is a pity about the fire. I can’t wait to be back in Blackpool later on in the year. I do love Blackpool I love visiting another great video from you and I just like to say I did enjoy your videos on the Mac Meister channel very interesting. Keep up the good work
Use to be a great hotel with good bands on and bingo every night. Food was fabulous. Such a shame to see this happening
Hello again Stephen
More Than likely now that hotel will definitely have to be demolished
Thanks for the update
That will be a big loss to Blackpool!
I enjoyed staying at the Elgin many years ago!
can now be advertised by an estate agent as 'fully open-plan'
Thank you
Stephen lucky the fire was contained and hopefully other hotels are not affected Stephen trust you are keeping well
If I remember rightly the new hackets Hotel had a fire before I really enjoy your videos
The vans are weird - you'd have thought they'd have been in the way - and/or an additional fire risk! Presumably they've not been able to identify the owners...
Walked past Sunday and wondered what was happening with the hotel and those vans. Strange that this kicked off 24 hours later🤤
Demolishing company had it's advertising hoardings up this evening. Probably will be gone within a week?
All praise to the fire service for not letting it spread along the whole terrace.
That fire engine is called the alps arterial platform ladders the reseaon I know this because I go to my fire station open days in summer in essex
Glad they managed to bring the fire under control it looked bad last night I was watching your live stream I hope the fire fighters get paid extra in their wage for last night they worked hard through the night and this morning but the main thing is that they stopped it spreading to other near by buildings and it was sorted very quick they work very quick and make sure it's fully out I could see they were being refuled during the night to keep the vehicles going which was good thing the main thing is nobody was hurt and hopefully now the building can come down safely after they have assed the damage that sometimes takes a few days they can rebuild again with a newer hotel for Blackpool sea front
Hopefully it won't turn into a car park!
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool no hopefully they won't make it another car park I hope they re build a new hotel and create new jobs and attract more visitors to Blackpool over the summer and through the Xmas periods
that place was doomed I think? feel sorry for the people who lost their money . love your videos Stephen
I can see half the building that has been damaged by the fire being demolished and then in its place a car park
It's definitely being demolished It's been on bbc radio Lancashire confirmed.
The cliff hotel is nice I stayed there in 1994
An insurance job, a high possibility anyway. I'm surprised the Kimberley on the South Promenade hasn't suffered the same fate.
Them VANS have 4ever been
Parked outside of the building on the left handside.
Good quality pic on Stephens new camera.. hope no one got hurt in or near the burning building 😔
Thanks Sarah.
I've been in construction for years and I know developers pay to have them destroyed so they can get to buy up the land
Great video, as always Stephen, just heard its being demolished, well thats not really news 😅, expected, another big gap on Blackpool prom
Hopefully not another car park Carol!
It’s chaos here!….. pans out to real 1 police van & a road closed sign Lol! That did make me chuckle!
Hope you film some of the demolition
"Ma'yan I must be a nerd", I watched the video in HD on my computer and then again in 4K just to compare it. There's NO way The New Hackett was/is staying up, that's a pile o'bricks just waiting to happen. Can't see that ever getting repaired as is, put it that way.
Watching from auckland. What a mess
I use to stay at the maples to the left of the Berkeley apartments when it was called the mount hotel - the maples is the oldest hotel on the north shore , that’s what the owner at the time told us - I think the hotel next to the Hackets was called the Wellbeck - it closed about 10-15 years ago , I hope the maples and Berkeley apartments are unaffected from the fire - the maples is lovely inside
Thanks for the update Stephen, i guess this is going to getting a lot of vlogger coverage over the next few weeks till the site is cleared.
I was looking at your opening piece to camera and the image quality is excellent, the level of detail is very high, is this the new camera ?
Thanks sir. yes, I was using the Panasonic Lumix S5II. I had a few focusing issues, but I put it down to being new to it.
If u watch Granada reports tonight 11.30pm
Looks suss to me ....interesting to find out the strory they will go with on this one.
What a shame 😢 xx
Is there any talk about how the fire started? I can imagine the gas and electricity have been switched off for some time. Questions will be asked and theories put forward no doubt. Thanks for the update.
No idea Marian.
Looks terrible Steven , definitely a demolition job , thank you for showing it .
Hi Stephen will you be filming the demolition for everyone to watch along with you ,well done on all the subscibers watching with you last night i was one lol :)
2 teenagers currently in custody on suspicion of arson
Probably Hackets and the empty building next door will be demolished. For safety reasons if nothing else. Hopefully the other establishments will be unaffected. Thanks for the update Stephen.
somebody wanted that building gone. its always the same, it happened in ilkeston, when a new railway station was built in the same place as a previous station that had closed and been demolished about 60 years ago. however there was one building left, and locals had been trying to get it restored and included in the new station. but the company building the station did not want this, so one night very conveniently teenagers got onto the land and set this building on fire, and it was then classed as a dangerous structure and had to be demolished.
Hope no one was hurt xxx
Top update Stephen, great filming.
Can you get around the back?
I'll have a look tomorrow if I get chance Tony.
Is it a coincidence that a demolition company is on site the very next day after the fire?
Something smells fishy about this, and it's not Fleetwood Fish Market!
This building is now suitable accommodation for dinghy divers.
I think that whole block will have to be pulled down
I bet you were gutted not being at home when this fire started.. never mind, you're making up for it now..take care.
What's causing it to burn for so long? A real mess, hope no one was hurt😢
Nicejob stephen long as nobody's hurt that's main thing, building can be replaced people cannot. Fly home tomorrow not looking forward to the 15degree temperature drop at home!!😂😂😂
Hi, Steve Hope no-one got hurt. Don't they have to find the source of the fire before they demolish it tho'? Seems a bit dodgy to me. Great footage of the land that you can see from Blackpool seafront; that new camera is bang on.
Keep up the top work, pal 👍.
strange the fire started in the middle of the building. someone wanted it to spread to each end of the building.
Omg terrible 😢😢
This is the last thing blackpool needs probably deliberate but who knows
Why do I get the impression that there is more to this than meets the eye might be wrong and hope I am but no doubt it will all come out in the days and weeks to come.
Very sad the NEW HACKETTS has burned down many people have stopped there for holidays it will be all Demolished now.
Has someone took their revenge. 🤔
