Posted: Thu Dec 11, 2008 9:47 pmThe building at the back of Lancaster Fried Chicken and the The Friary collapsed. I think it was a tyre shop. There were a lot of fire engines and police and the crane in the road didn't help.

Posted: Fri Dec 12, 2008 9:32 amWord on the news this morning was that the Warehouse nightclub building had colapsed. comming back to lancaster from salt ayre last night at about 9.30pm the traffic was still backed up to scale hall lights. The police had closed the one way round Kingsway and were redirecting all traffic round Bulk road. 1/2 hour to get from Salt Ayre to Lancaster at 9.30 on a Thursday night!
