    **** me, you still here?


    As regards the Hotel, the Ferensway site is only one being looked at by Hilton. It's not cast in stone yet.....or concrete <whistle>

    They could go for something more European sounding. Perhaps to reflect some negative locals 'Les miserables' or if they want their brand in it, what about 'Les Hilton'?

    Hilton as a modern chain isnt posh at all.

    I bet there are some UXB's in that area, hope they have done a proper scan (next to Deep)

    Yeah I had a little look too.

    Seems like it took most time to flatten the site out, once the foundations are in I suppose it's just like a giant flat pack!

    The Cornmill got torched last night...

    FIREFIGHTERS have tackled a suspected arson attack at the old Cornmill Hotel in Holderness Road.

    Fire crews were called to the derelict east Hull hotel shortly after 8.30pm on Monday following reports of a fire inside the building.

    The cause of the fire is believed to have been deliberate.

    A Humberside Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: "The fire started from a significant amount of discarded rubbish on the third floor of the building.

    Who owns it? Look like a classic insurance job a la The Majestic in Leeds recently. It was redeveloped to such a high standard that nobody took any of the units as they were too expensive. Next thing you know, miraculously a local homeless man has been charged with arson. Hmmm......

    The people that owned it went bust, so I assume it's being sold by a bank, that being the case it's not an insurance job, more likely just kids.

    According to the agents handling it's sale, it's under offer anyway.

    I went passed The Cornmill last night at the time of the fire - didn't look too bad, but there was a lot of thick smoke - all coming from the top of the stone tower at the back.

    My mum went to Keep Fit there when I was a kid.

    Shame it had plans that now, I would strongly imagine, are scuppered.

    The Hull Hilton already exists - it is what the residents call William Booth house.

    Sadly, it looks like much, if not all, of this place is going to have to be demolished...
