'Severe damage'

'Severe damage'

Station manager Mike Cotton said: "Firefighters worked hard in very challenging conditions to bring the fire under control. We expect to be at the scene working throughout the day today (1 May) to extinguish remaining deep seated pockets of fire.


"The fire was in an annexe building and had been producing a lot of smoke. Local road closures remain in place so we would advise drivers to avoid the area if possible and to check their journey before travelling."


The nearby Richmond Hill Hotel tweeted on Wednesday morning the leisure club at the Harbour Hotel had suffered “severe damage”.


“We can confirm that a fire broke out last night in Richmond Harbour Hotel and Spa and the leisure club at the Harbour Hotel has been severely damaged. Richmond Hill Hotel is undamaged and we are welcoming guests back to retrieve their belongings.”
