Clayton Con Club Fire
 

Last night some idiotic loony set fire to the upstairs kitchen of Clayton Con Club whilst the downstairs was full of people. The place was thankfully evacuated without any body being injured.
The water damage is apparently very extensive downstairs and it will be quite some time before the club opens again. :(

Is that the building on Whalley Rd., just before the bridge over the canal?

Re: Clayton Con Club Fire
 

Yep, sure is.

Re: Clayton Con Club Fire
 

They got the guy who did it ?

Re: Clayton Con Club Fire
 

Not that I know but there was a known someone seen lurking in the vicinity a couple of times but of course that would be pure conjecture!!

Re: Clayton Con Club Fire
 

hope they get it sorted out soon, I am suppose to be going to a 70th birthday party there next month

Re: Clayton Con Club Fire
 

You should be ok vicky, 'erindoors works there and through communication with the Stewardess we have discovered that they are hoping to re-open by next weekend!! :eek:
The upstairs kitchen is completely gutted and the rest of the upstairs is smoke damaged. The water damage was mainly confined to the bar end of downstairs. Until tomorrow there is no water or electric.
Really very lucky that it wasn't more serious although that doesn't detract from the fact that it must be one deranged person who sets fire to a building with people in it :mad:

Re: Clayton Con Club Fire
 

I can't belive someone could do such a thing whilse there were still people in the building.

Re: Clayton Con Club Fire

Re: Clayton Con Club Fire
 

No outward signs of damage, however, was a van there which specialised in cleaning up fire and flood damage, so the stewards/committee have been quick off the mark getting it sorted.

Re: Clayton Con Club Fire
 

The window for the kitchen had been completely burnt out but as it is on the canal side of the building you wouldn't have seen it from the road Katex.

Deffo arson as there was a pile of papers screwed up in the kitchen that were set on fire and the lock to access the upstairs had been jemmied/broken off.

I wander if the character who did this left for Weston-Super-Mare for his holidays?

Re: Clayton Con Club Fire

:theband:
wammy playing royal oak c.l.m. 16 aug be warned LOL:D:D:D

Re: Clayton Con Club Fire
 

Wammy seems to get everywhere, doesn't he? I once came across him while walking down a street in Benidorm, entertaining a group of holidaymakers outside a bar. When he saw my Stanley shirt, he invited me up for an inpromptu "Accy-Accy-Accy Stanley" chant before extolling the virtues of our local football team to the assembled masses. Mrs H, meanwhile, had crossed the street and was busily pretending to be an ordinary Spanish houswife with no actual connection with the lunatic over the road, while Wammy's audience looked on in bemused wonder...

sorry for the thread wander.

Re: Clayton Con Club Fire
 

There is still a 70th birthday party going ahead on the 15th, (this Fri comeing), It will be in the downstairs bar. I will be working on that night so do come and say hi to me.

If it's the 70th birthday party in October, then the upstairs bar will be finished by then, I will be working then too. That bar upstairs is MY baby!! :D

The fire there was really upsetting for me, I've been brought up with my dad being the steward there for years. The new stewardess, Hazel, is fantastic and really turning the place around. She's worked damned hard to get it back up and running after the fire.
Was working last night, and it as a good night too, (bingo and all!! considering Phil won!!!!). The artist was fab too.
