Reason it stood empty for so long is because blackpool council insist on it staying as a hotel and not be developed into flats...I think homes are needed more than hotels in blackpool nowadays to be honest
Yes, I think Rene might have mentioned that. If the council were a bit more relaxed about turning it into apartments, it might have been transformed for the better.
I agree there, more social housing is needed, and Blackpool isn't the holiday Mecca it used to be, there just isn't the people staying in them in enough numbers to sustain the big hotels, repurpose them and keep their imposing grandeur, the architecture more enlightened individuals from future generations can have something to appreciate 👍

Hi Stephen, another great video, what a surprise, endless fires in Blackpool lol, just sad to see and in a hotel I had stayed in and had great memories in
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool I stayed in the Welbek next door on the left, we had a great time there for a week , weather wasn the best for us though, the owner of the new hacketts hotel had the welbek as well
Hi stephen thanks for the footage really bad fire there you must be knackered quite sad really think they will be there all night kudos to the fire fighters 👍
Hi Stephen l bet you were and congrats for 42K subs 👍 end of an era and end of hacketts hotel jane did a video they were still dampening down this morning had demolition company there also bet local folk will glad it's gone it was a magnet for anti social behaviour etc and an eyesore 👍
Congratulations on over 2000 watching this livestream amazing. Just sad news another hotel has been burnt to the ground. This will no doubt need to be demolished now.
" A nice " Arson " job...fires started in different parts of the building simultaneously to ensure complete destruction !...." Follow the " Money " trail ! "
Talking about Fire’s on the Prom. I was there the night Tussaud’s burnt Down. Was in the Arcade when the Alarm went off, I was about 5. Were down on Holiday from Glasgow.
Developers paying arson money, or more probability of druggies and vandals. More likely to be replaced by something like box Hampton by Hilton Hotel. Plus council's stubbornness insisting on hotel.
If most of the floors have burnt out, you have a very precarious shell left ,so a high risk of full/partial collapse, & the strong wind isn't helping things.
I do own a drone, but I don’t use it enough. However, the fire service would have put up a temporary no fly zone in the area whilst this situation was occurring.
Hi Stephen thank you for another great live as always well it was only a matter of time after the last fire they should of secured it to stop people going in there it definitely will have to come down have a great evening xx
Blackpool Council have shot themselves in the foot here. There's too many of these derelict buildings being left to rot in Blackpool. Big waste of taxpayers money & the emergency services valuable time.
Why would an insurance company provide cover on a run down building that’s been empty for years and is unsellable? The only way out is a can of petrol and a match.
....I always admired the elegant looking Savoy AND 'The Cliffs' too.....but have just spent an hour on Trip Advisor which gave both mainly awful reviews .'tired , scruffy , sticky, tiny toilets , rude staff , dirty windows ....etc. Do you recommend any hotels in Blackpool as I'd love a 5 day break sometime this year .
Hampton by Hilton as it's new build and far enough from racket of pleasure Beach and has trams going into town on the promenade. That's were I would stay.
@@juliepownall1063 ....was this the one from 'Four In A Bed' .....the posh lady and her son ? It looked lovely but so do a lot of B and B's on St. Chads Road.....I was watching a lad's videos and reviews last night ....
Not The New Hackett's AGAIN !!!!!! Made a good job of it this time .🤣 Has anyone taken photos of the back of it?.They could make a film of it ,THE CURSE OF NEW HACKETTS.😂
Stephen I bet this was not the idea you had in mind. Get home, putting your feet up and relaxing. Back to work as usual. Amazing how a lot of these large, grand old hotels, keep getting set on fire? (numerous attempts). Hope you get some rest today Stephen.
I think these fires are insurance job this has been happening four years one on new south promenade the pet shop on talbot road a ciu club on central drive near where the greyhound track youst to and its a cinema now

It's amazing how it keeps burning with all the water being sprayed in to the building what a great job the fire service men and women are doing.

Yes, I think Rene might have mentioned that. If the council were a bit more relaxed about turning it into apartments, it might have been transformed for the better.
I agree, not every building on the promenade needs to be a hotel these days, I’d love to live right on the seafront

Agree 💯 with you.👍
Wait for the eyesaw the council will approve to replace it!,

Thanks Moonage xx
Blackpool hotels are the only things more flamable than west yorkshire mills that have been refused planning permission.
lancshire mills too
BETTER COVERAGE THAN ITV - BBC - CH4 - SKY - CH5 - WELL DONE!!
Thanks
Thank you 🙏
Sad how so many Hotels are shut down in the area"! The Moorlands at the side of the New Hacketts is also Boarded up too, So sad of bad times ahead,
Great video again, I watch all of yours and they are the best for Blackpool by a mile, the others are so amateur and always in the same place 😅😅
Thanks Jimmy.
Our roving reporter Stephen Cheatley on the scene🎥👍 Glad no one was hurt!
Thanks Sheila.
Brilliant video from jim fae scotland
Now its burnt down,it'll have to come down and be redeveloped for houses/flats, quite fortunate for the owners really.
Bit of luck that
Our man on the scene, ace reporter Stephen, always has the latest news from Blackpool.
I drove 200+ miles for it!
I wonder if Blackpool Council will be inventive and build yet another car park?
What a great idea 👍
Don't be giving them ideas! 💡
Steven your report was well documented and excellent.
@@maureenwhiteley2052 🙏🙏🙏
just watcehed you video on the fire at the New Hacketts hotel. How sad that it has been abandoned for so long and ends up like that.
Just a car park now.
Thanks so much for that shout out Stephen, I suddenly went up by about 30 subs!
Oh wow, great to hear pal. I have such an influence!
Hi Stephen, another great video, what a surprise, endless fires in Blackpool lol, just sad to see and in a hotel I had stayed in and had great memories in

This is so sad to see, all these empty hotels could be made into nice apartments, shame on the council 😤
Congratulations on over 2000 watching this livestream amazing. Just sad news another hotel has been burnt to the ground. This will no doubt need to be demolished now.
That's a record for a livestream David.
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool nice one👍
Hi Stephen thanks for another great video x ❤
Thanks Tracy.
That fire appliance is an AT-Stinger and it was deployed from Blackburn. It has a large spike on the end and can pierce roofs and walls.
" A nice " Arson " job...fires started in different parts of the building simultaneously to ensure complete destruction !...." Follow the " Money " trail ! "
Thanks Stephen for the live video. And Alsop thanks for the mention ♥️🙏

Hi Stephen
Great live coverage looks like a shell of its former self shame think need to get the bulldozers in be careful of the fumes😢
Talking about Fire’s on the Prom. I was there the night Tussaud’s burnt Down. Was in the Arcade when the Alarm went off, I was about 5. Were down on Holiday from Glasgow.
Tussauds didn’t burn down, it’s still there.
Wow.
I hope they’re using sea water instead of using our precious drinkable stuff.
Hi Stephen thanks for sharing .
No probs Elaine.
Another good video stephen I am down on holiday in blackpool I am not that far from the fire
Plenty of drama for your holiday Fiona!
Your sound & picture is great pal.😊

Another nice hotel in Blackpool is Chadberry house hotel brilliant

Its such a same.
I’ve just been watching some drone footage of the fire, and wondered if a drone may be of any use to you.
I do own a drone, but I don’t use it enough. However, the fire service would have put up a temporary no fly zone in the area whilst this situation was occurring.
Well done from David The Rhonda Valley 😂
Hope all ok
This will be funny if an Ice-Cream Van shamelessly pulls up next to the Fire Engines to sell Ice-Cream's at full price.
Higgits on his way with the £1 burger van
Another Fire
Hi Stephen thank you for another great live as always well it was only a matter of time after the last fire they should of secured it to stop people going in there it definitely will have to come down have a great evening xx
I think this might be the last fire Wendy x
Hello Blackpool hope your okay safe
insurance job !!!!!
Blackpool Council have shot themselves in the foot here. There's too many of these derelict buildings being left to rot in Blackpool. Big waste of taxpayers money & the emergency services valuable time.
It's been abandoned since 2018 Stephen
Hi Stephen the fire engines are still there and will be until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest
Looked like a big fire, smoke very visible from Cleveleys.
It was.
Hi From Niagara Falls.
Hi Michael. Which side?
Maybe, got something to do with the people who got conned
Why would an insurance company provide cover on a run down building that’s been empty for years and is unsellable?
The only way out is a can of petrol and a match.
Stand near the fire you will get a heat!
were they growing in there again ?
It's a strong possibility.
Think you may be right about knocking it down as it does look unsafe.
Blackpool is on the way up. There is plenty of bldg work going on. If they would have got the planning permission for a casino. The city would boom.
WHAT NAME WAS IT, I am from Cheshunt Herts
It started at 14 30 people Facebook accounts was posting vids the flames was huge they could see it as far as lytham.
....I always admired the elegant looking Savoy AND 'The Cliffs' too.....but have just spent an hour on Trip Advisor which gave both mainly awful reviews .'tired , scruffy , sticky, tiny toilets , rude staff , dirty windows ....etc. Do you recommend any hotels in Blackpool as I'd love a 5 day break sometime this year .

What Mo said.
Hotel Sheraton...very nice
@@juliepownall1063 ....was this the one from 'Four In A Bed' .....the posh lady and her son ? It looked lovely but so do a lot of B and B's on St. Chads Road.....I was watching a lad's videos and reviews last night ....
@@StevesHornet900 yes that's the one lovely hotel.
Not The New Hackett's AGAIN !!!!!! Made a good job of it this time .🤣 Has anyone taken photos of the back of it?.They could make a film of it ,THE CURSE OF NEW HACKETTS.😂
I'll see if I can get round the back next time, but access was restricted during the fire.
Why are no adjacent fire alarms working
that place looks absolutely gutted. given how long it's been empty, and abused, dozering it is the kindest thing to happen to it.
I think so too.
Sad to see this, hope it's not an insurance job
Stephen I bet this was not the idea you had in mind. Get home, putting your feet up and relaxing. Back to work as usual.
Amazing how a lot of these large, grand old hotels, keep getting set on fire? (numerous attempts).
Hope you get some rest today Stephen.
Thanks Clara. It has been a bit hectic lately Clara, so hopefully I can chill for a bit on Tuesday.
This was deliberate arson imo. xx
I really hate this. Wish the guys who set these fires would get trapped.
So its finally gone then,after about 3-4 attempts...couldnt believe after the last one the fire brigade didnt get it secured..
I think these fires are insurance job this has been happening four years one on new south promenade the pet shop on talbot road a ciu club on central drive near where the greyhound track youst to and its a cinema now
I predict a future video entitled new hacketts hotel demolition 👍
The hotel required very expensive asbestos removal work carrying out on it then all of a sudden it catches fire??? Very suspicious
Spends half the time explaining why he was not in Blackpool when the fire started. Hmmmmmm.
There has been one or 2 fires in blackpool lately lol
Yes.
one more hotel bite the bites the dust
Live from Derbyshire
Another hotel fire
Hi from Stockport 😊
Bernie Suresparani (tightest man on the planet) was the owner who lost 1.3 mill on the building when last sold
Oh wow. Still, I bet he's still well off.
Probably from the apartment con and bitcoin fraud.
They pumped water from the sea at least constantly water supply
Feel sorry for all the Smoke that's gone into other Hotels and Houses.
Omg
I feel sorry for the firemen who risk there lives just because some idiot lights a fire ,
On what date this happen
Steve your our roving reporter on the ground when are you going to do cheap flats video
Only 5 star luxury flats good enough for me!
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool yes and the Irish prime minister and richi
just a little bit of blackpool stocktaking
Turn off the GAS MAINS on the FOOT Path
Arson! to get it to a unsafe state so they can build on it . £££££
Where ever you and your camera go theres trouble lol
Looks like another case of person or persons arson about ?
Hi Stephen
Its such a shame theirs some right crooks around steven.
