At 9am this morning (22nd Nov 2019), the Claremont Hotel on Eastbourne's seafront was devastated by fire. The Grade II listed building has been gutted as the fire raged all day. One hundred and thirty guests were safely evacuated by the staff and displaced to other hotels. The staff and owners have lost their livelihood and anyone living in the hotel will have lost all their possessions. Let's help them with something towards replacing belongings and/or to have a better Christmas. Our thoughts are with them all.
