The Bell Hotel stood derelict since the 1950s: that is, until the last week of November 2015 when it began quite literally to collapse. By then it had become a dangerous structure which needed to be completely demolished. By the time this picture was taken the demolition process was well underway. See Image for how the site looked in 2008.
