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.

    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....
