It was fierce and indeed they have demolished it as you would have thought.Frog wrote:After seeing the fire it looks like the building is doomed.
Here is a video of the Savoy building in Southwick being pulled down.
What a crying shame.

Ah it's such a shame to see a landmark building being demolished but it was inevitable after such a fire.

Re: Former Savoy bingo hall in Southwick - severe fire
This was a particularly nasty fire in an area that is well used.
The building has now gone which is such a shame.
Hopefully, it will be replaced with something that the people of Southwick can be proud of.
I am surprised that people and traffic was allowed to get close to the front of it especially since it looked as if it would all collapse.
Traffic was allowed to drive passed it on The Green.
The Savoy bingo was a place my mother used to go to back in the day.
Anyway, a man and woman were arrested on suspicion of arson.
Let's hope the police get to the bottom of this story.
