Demolition is underway at UK’s only floating hotel.
Demolition work started this week on Northwich’s iconic Floatel, the UK’s only floating hotel which stood on the banks of the River Weaver in Northwich, Cheshire.
Fences have been put up and workmen have moved in to clear the structure, which became an eyesore after closing in January when owners Real Hotel Group went into administration.
Vandals have badly damaged the building, while emergency services and environmental health officers agreed it should be removed as soon as possible.
British Waterways is funding the demolition, which will be completed in time for Christmas.
Mike Coates, of British Waterways, said: “The hotel was put into place in prefabricated segments and will be demolished in the same way.
