Disgusting disregard of our heritage.
"The Crooked House", famed as being Britain's wonkiest pub has now been demolished without local authority consent following a fire that gutted it a few days ago. The fire follows a few days after the brewery that owned it had sold it to a "mystery" buyer.
Why it was never made a listed structure I don't know! https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-b2389606.html |

There’s a spate of old buildings in Glasgow that mysteriously burn down. Including the Art School, twice!

If it was supposed to be the mounds of earth that blocked the fire brigade, why wouldn't the gate also have blocked them? Proves that earth moving equipment was needed before any fire. |

Re: Disgusting disregard of our heritage.
We had a situation a few years ago on a new development in our town. A big complex was built along with a cinema & two night clubs. There was also supposed to be a hotel built on the sight, but the deal fell through & it remained scrub land.
A while later twenty caravans illegally entered the site, whence things started disappearing out of locals gardens & sheds. Then came the weekend, with hoards of youngsters tipping out from the nightclubs at 2 & 3am. The caravan occupants got into a confrontation with them & ended up being pelted with empty beer bottles & anything else that was to hand. Needless to say the local council needed to take no action to evict them. The caravans had mysteriously gone by the following morning. |

Some years ago a couple of my team met a developer on site to do some background noise measurements. He told them the owner of the derelict house adjacent to the site they wanted to develop wasn't for selling but it wouldn't be an issue 'in a couple of weeks' and as if by magic it burned down soon after.
I think this sort of thing goes on pretty often, the number of old mills that've burned down in Bradford over the years. I think some owners see it as a victimless crime as fire insurance is often the last thing they stop paying. |
