Jul 16,2023 3:30 am

Strong winds hampered firefighters as they tackled a blaze at a 200-year-old Hotel in Brighton.

The Fire at the regency-style Royal Albion Hotel - which overlooks Brighton Pier - Broke out on Saturday evening.

East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service said no-one was injured but " difficult conditions" meant people had to be evacuated from nearby buildings.

The Old Steine and Kings Road were shut with people told to stay away due to " significant smoke" made worse by wind.

Brighton and Hove City Council opened a rest centre to provide support for people evacuated from their homes.

On Sunday Morning , The Fire service said it was " scaling back operations" from The Blaze , which at its height had 15 fire engines at The Scene .

'Heart of our city'

Council leader Bella Sankey said on Saturday Night : " These are very sad scenes in our city this evening.

" On behalf of The City council I want to give my thanks to The Emergency services for attending The Fire at the historic Royal Albion Hotel in The Heart of our city.

" We urge everyone to continue following advice from emergency services and to please Keep Away from the area. "

The 219-bedroom Hotel , which was built in 1826, is run by Britannia Hotels .

Part of The Building was Grade II*-listed by English Heritage and suffered a previous fire in November 1998.
