  • 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

    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.

      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

    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

    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.
