Yes The Clarence is gone. It was quite a building though the sort of place I couldn't get over the threshold without being fielded back out the door again. I've heard the the owner owns many such hotels outright and the place was insured for 29 million, not sure if that's right though. Number 18 above the gallery where the fire started was a stunning set of rooms. The owners there had put in numerous applications over the years, all of which had been rejected so it could have been a burn it down and build it up again as luxury apartments scheme, no way of proving it though, but it does happen a lot. Hope all good there with you.
Cheers and thanks Reem. It was a nice walk in a place I've never been to but just looking for places to walk near Axminster, and it turned out to be a lovely quiet hill and well worth a look. Autumn is in the middle of being a bit spectacular at the moment, so I'm trying to get out and see as much as I can of it. Hope all good there.
