THRILLER Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 There was a building near to Ballamona many years ago, I think it was called the Mannin infirmary, well i dont know why but that was set on fire 3 times whilst it was waiting to be demolished, The 3rd fire finished it off....strange eh. I heard it had been done on purpose because as it was cheaper to be burnt down than be knocked down, i dont know if its true or not. Its strange how these places go on fire when waiting to be knocked down hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celt Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Not a very good Health and Safety set up for Dandara then. First it was the Douglas Bay Hotel, then the Falcon Cliff, then the Majestic and now this. All, apart from the Falcon Cliff, at the demolision stage too. Makes you wonder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Legend Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Yeah, seems odd they go on fire when they are listed buildings. Once they have been on fire, they are unsafe so have to come down, giving the developers what they want. The front wall of the crescent is listed but the developers have been trying to get permission to knock it down. Keep getting told no, so OOPS, its accidently gone on fire... Strange Eh?

localyokel Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Amusement arcade fire? I believe Dandara have witness statements claiming that it was a clumsy team of Italian Plumbers who did it. Police are looking for two men, believed to be brothers, last seen wearing red coats and red hats. Both are believed to be sporting bushy moustashes and were seen leaving the scene in a Fiat 500.
