The nursery has been empty for some time since the new building was finished on the main site so it shouldn't impact on the

children too much, though a horrible thing for them to see. Jessie, you're right it may not be vandals, especially in this weather. However, I was talking to a teacher from Bessemer recently (my kids went there some years ago) and she was pretty much expecting it to be destroyed as there had already been so much damage done to the empty building.

Oh, KalamityKel! How waspish you become when the bottle is left within your reach! I did survive, and I am happy that I did, so that I might receive your just rebuke.


uncleglen, yes; consensus on the St Francis estate was that someone had set tyres alight. Of course the consensus was wrong, but the dark, thick character of the smoke brought that possibility to the fore for observers here.

The roof of the old Bessemer building was flat and was covered in asphalt and bitumen for as long as I can remember (I was taught in this building and my own three children) so that probably explains the reason for the thick black smoke.


Husband saw the flames yesterday which were so intense. I was there after Police had taped it off.


Some photos taken after the fire and yesterday.

Hi All,


These photos may be distressing.


I Noticed that none of you have actual photos of the fire itself so for anyone who wanted to see the damage the pictures are attached. I noticed the thick black smoke as my partners nan lives on Dylways and the stench was horrific, we decided to drive down and the heat was so much you could feel it in the car. We got there just after the fire fighters arrived at the beginning of the fire. Its such a shame and we hear that police are investigating what started it as it was a Saturday afternoon/evening and only one key holder was in the area at the time.

    • EVs don't have to be huge, nor do ICE vechicles, but sadly many owners and drivers do choose heavy vehicles, egged on no doubt by manufacturers, influencers and the like, and a misguided view on road safety. As regards to 'safer' vehicles, the increase in weight goes back decades and is not a sudden thing.ย  Again 'safer' vehicles do not need to be huge.ย 
    • EVs don't have to be huge. I used to work for Th!nk in Norway. We put the battery under the seat & had a 2 + 2. It was also 98% recyclable & the first car that could communicate to with a phone. Sadly went into receivership in 2012. Note that we were developing a battery with Tesla in the early days but they pulled out as they didn't have the funding. Musk wasn't as much of an upstart in those days but we still thought he was a *fill this space with your own version* Crumple zones also don't have to be that big either, there are several small cars that meet the Euro N Cap rating. There is more danger in larger cars for pedestrian impact as they can damage vital organs or head injuries due to the height of the impact.
    • Hi all, We have some last-minute availability coming up in the next 1โ€“2 months, as one of our larger projects has experienced unexpected delays. We came across this recommendation thread, which dates back to around 2011/12 and doesnโ€™t seem to be easily searchable on the forum anymore, so we thought weโ€™d add to it to keep it active and hopefully stop it from disappearing again. ย  Thanks very much, Atanas Big Small Building Solutions 07809 776638 https://www.bigsmallbuildingsolutions.co.uk/ ย 
    • I've had the strangest PO email about my parcel. To quote 'We've received a request not to deliver mail to the property your item is addressed to today' Who from? Who would request such a thing!
