KINGSDOWN HOTEL BLAZE

The Links Hotel on the cliffs at Kingsdown, near Deal, adjoining Kingsdown golf club and overlooking the Channel, was extensively damaged by fire early on Saturday. The hotel, a three storey building, with 14 bedrooms, had been bought by Councellor Captain E. H. Symonds, and re-decorated and refurnished and was to have been re-opened in about a fortnight. The alarm was given by people returning from a dance in Deal, who saw the glow of flames in the sky from the sea-front. The fireman had to run their hoses over the cliff face to a roadway beneath to reach a hydrant near the coastguard station, which is over half a mile from the hotel.
