.......and i can think of at least 6 members of my friends and close family who wont be shedding too many tears I'm afraid.:Blush:
Thankfully, I've never had the dubious pleasure of dealing with them myself but from waht I've heard from sooooooooooo many different people, i count my lucky stars!

I thought exactly the same thing as a lot of people as i bought my van from glossop caravans and had nothing but trouble.Then i realised it is the service centre which is completely different site to the sales pitch and all the vans belong to customers.:Sad:

Glossop caravans fire

Some photos Link Removed.

Seems the main A57 is closed as a result so there won't be much moving in or out of Glossop today.

Graham

Yep, hubby just tried to go that way. Smoke still rising from the building apparently and the investigators are going in.

So is it the new service centre at Woolley Bridge and not the main sales area at Brookfield?

I've seen that posted on another forum but I'm not sure. According to the BBC Here the A%7 is closed between Shaw Lane and Wooley Bridge, which suggests it is the sales area.

Also, some of those photos I referred to earlier are apparently taken from Cottage Lane and the Trans Pennine Trail on the Gamesley side of Glossop Brook.

Graham

P.S. Marie you got Fun a mention on the Virtual Glossop web site

I'm getting confused Graham! There's mention of Woolley Bridge being affected but that's a bit far from the sales area and Anthony McKeown's photos do look like the sales area!

All will be revealed!

There is a notice on the Glossop caravans web site which refers to the location being their "seven acre site in the heart of Glossop". Apart from teh fact they are nowhere near the heart of Glossop I think that suggests it is the main site rather than the new service centre.

According to the Advertiser web site "Initial reports were that a warehouse was alight, but crews also discovered that an adjacent shop was also ablaze", so that points to the accessory shop and warehouse next to it.

At least David Jones won't have to scrat around for his lead story in the Chron this week :Smile:

Just seen on another forum that "the buildings that have gone up include the service centre that services caravans that people are in the process of purchasing, the awning sales room and the spares shop".

The separate service centre for tourers at Wooley Bridge roundabout isn't affected.
