Little more than the facade of a hotel in Exeter thought to be the oldest in England remains following a huge fire that continues to burn more than 48hours after it broke out.

Many staff were employed at the hotel and rely on the income to pay bills etc.

Coming up to Christmas this couldn't have come at a worse time.

I am trying to raise what I can to help all those affected by this and would appreciate any donations you can make, however small.

All donations received here will be presented to Devon Community Foundation to add to their fundraising efforts

Thankyou in advance for your help.
