Silentbob Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Very Sad indeed, lived there for a while when I was a kid, many very happy memories of sliding down the spiral bannister, excellent views of the Red Arrows from the rooftop as well. If it was arson, the perp is an utter scumbag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 What a shame, it is one of those quirky buildings that abound over here. Apparently it has quite some history attached to it as well. I really feel sorry for the owner who has made doing it up something of a labour of love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silentbob Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I think considering the sheer thickness of the walls etc, it would take more than a small fire to write it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
