Bournemouth: demolition of the Wessex Hotel

One of Bournemouth's best known hotels, the Wessex on West Cliff Road, closed in early January 2018 and is now undergoing demolition. It is due to be replaced by a 100-bed hotel and around 80 residential apartments. Despite being relatively well known, it appears to have been photographed on Geograph only once while operating: Image
