Yes Tom, it was.

Talking to the firefighter's on scene this afternoon. On there way to the incident they could see the flames roaring through the roof, it was well alight by then, say around 1.30am. I would say the building may be demolished for safety reasons.

Gie strange, and lucky! that the lightning picked one of the few uninhabited buildings in the toon..........one that did not really matter to anyone........one that there was next to no chance of any poor soul being inside.....one where the fire could not spread to any other building.

I think Ninja Mania might be on to something..........

Tis a shame such a fine building should be pulled down, and its mighty suspicious that this, of all the buildings in Campbeltoon should be the one to suffer.

Has been a while since I last had opportunity to walk around it but even then there were clear signs that people were getting in and perhaps using it for nefarious purposes.

Does anyone know if the owners had it insured?
