One fine morning in April
Sunday, January 06, 2008
Tony Bugler told us of his experience one fine morning in April as he looked to the south towards the pavilion he saw a column of smoke rising from the roof of the Ritz. Taking a rowing boat, he rowed across the bay to investigate. By the time he reached the Ritz the whole building was fully ablaze. He could not get very close because of the great heat. It was a tragic sight that this lovely building should disappear before my very eyes. A friend from the Isle of Wight told him that she had heard the news on the radio. An hour later the Ritz was completly gutted only the frontage and foyer suvived.
