Shame. That doesn't leave much for the tourist trade down there, when you consider they still haven't got permission for the Tropicana development and the tide left some years ago.

I hear its caused millions of pounds of improvements to the area.

A struggling, run-down attraction burnt to the ground.

I bet it was insured....

Well I am usually as sceptical as the rest, but:

"He is absolutely devastated. Mr Michael bought the pier in February and spent around £1m - he's installed a go-kart track, a climbing wall and fitted a bar for the first time.
"His whole plan was to turn it into a premier tourist attraction, in fact he already had. "

That makes it sound like it wasn't an insurance job. Definitely not the right way to go about it anyway!
