Another casualty along Torrs Park
Some of the fine brick buildings along this road have suffered loss. Next door were a couple of similar-looking buildings that are now demolished. This one was Glen Tor, a large hotel built in Victorian times, gutted by a fire - thought to be arson - in April, 2022. It had been left derelict for some time and was empty, although the flats in the adjoining part were also damaged badly in places.
In previous times it served as a convent and the story persists that it was this building where celebrities Joan and Jackie Collins stayed after they were evacuated in WWII.
