Brighton hotel fire: Partial demolition of Royal Albion Hotel underway

Demolition has begun at the site of a 200-year-old hotel in Brighton, which was damaged by a fire.

The fire at the Regency-style Royal Albion Hotel - which overlooks Brighton Pier - broke out on Saturday evening.

Brighton and Hove City Council said parts of the building were "no longer structurally safe" and demolition work would take two to three weeks.
