Re: Newquay Hotel fire
It was a very old building. The floorboards creaked everywhere. There were wooden sash windows and wood partitioned rooms. The room I had was on the side, top floor and was a very poky single. It was in the part which has totally collapsed.The sash window was rather stiff to open. I am glad I was not there last night. I doubt that I could have got out from my room. When I was there I would describe it as 'shabby'. It is so very tragic that many of the people who go there are elderly disabled and would have been struggling using fire escapes and stairs.
Because I have been there I have been very shocked by what has happened
