Ryde Castle to re-open soon

PictureRyde Castle Hotel minus covers.
Following the devastating fire in March 2012 which destroyed most of the grade II listed building, Ryde Castle Hotel is due to re-open in mid October according to owners, Greene King. 

We have watched recently the covers surrounding the upper parts of the structure being removed and as our picture shows, the tower (which partially collapsed in the fire) is taking shape.

The fire followed a firework display taking place on the roof of the building to celebrate a wedding. Fortunately no one was seriously injured as all the guests and staff were evacuated quickly when the fire was discovered about 20 minutes following the display.

During the re-construction, improvements have been added to the 18 bedroom sea front hotel providing better access to the reception area and bar. Click on the image for a larger view.
