Still smoldering with lingering hot spots, the site remains off-limits for full inspection as police and fire investigators race to determine the cause, complicated by ongoing construction work. Fire crews successfully contained the blaze from spreading to neighboring businesses, but road closures and tram diversions have left the area in chaos. Plans for a major refurbishment and new hotel are now on hold, as the community mourns the loss of a piece of architectural history. The official cause remains unknown, pending the investigation’s findings. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
