I can remember when it was the Manhatern bar and the Parade hotel and they used to say it was the only hotel on Grand Parade.What a shame for this to happen to it after all of the money that has been spent on it in the last few months. At least no one got hurt at the end of the day. I wonder what they will build in its place.

I was also reminiscing earlier about the Manhattan Bar and the Jolly Fisherman/Callow pub. I went to have a nosey this afternoon and it made me sad to see the Parade in such a sorry state, after all it was one of the first to be built on the seafront all those years ago. It’s another piece of our local history disappearing. It is good though that the places were evacuated so quickly, hats off to the quick thinking staff and also to the emergency services. And fingers crossed for a quick recovery for Skegness.

just to add to my previous comment, best wishes to TK Bola and his family, they must be devastated, particularly if what is being said on the news is accurate. My husband and myself think he has made an impact on the town which should be congratulated.

Email received from Mr Herbert N Crawshaw, grandson of Joseph Crawshaw who was a member of the first Local Board (1884) in Skegness, and son of Joseph Crawshaw, four times Mayor of Skegness:
We were very sorry indeed to hear, and later see on BBC TV, the terrible fire that has occurred on North Parade, we wish the Town well, with typical Lincolnshire grit and determination we trust it will quickly overcome this disaster; the Fire Service and Police are to be congratulated on an excellent job in avoiding fatalities.
Regards Bert Crawshaw

Email received from Patrick Draper of our neighbouring seaside resort of Cleethorpes:
So sorry to hear and see the news today about the fire. It is a shame that it has happened at this time of year, not that there is a good time. Your fire fighters deserve a lot of credit for their praiseworthy efforts. I shall still keep visiting Skegness and am sure it will be even better when rebuilt. We in Cleethorpes have lost one of our great facilities this year too, the winter gardens, but this was due to developers and the council.
Best wishes to all
Patrick and Isobel Draper

It’s about time someone added something good to our town. Yet they’ve had it ripped away so soon, lets hope they find it in them to re-build and stay with our town……. We are so, so sorry – Tk & Bola Family

A sad sight to see,my late father and me always enjoyed a jar at the “Legion” on the parade there,and in later years my fiancee and I always remarked on how different a place skeggy must have been when these first original buildings went up.A sad loss to local heritage,to local people,and to the reminiscent visitor too.

THE PARADE: i was gutted if you excuse the pun that this fine old building was reduced to rubble, it had stood the test of time and seen alot of changes in skegness to finely became a victim itself,i had worked at the parade as 15 years old for two seasons when in them days fat louis was a self service restruant and had weekend dances up stairs it had character and style,and the bolas made a good job of retoring the building to fit in to the modern world without losing its identity .iam glad there is photos around of of this once proud old building that was an icon of skegness and the bygone days.
