Welcome to Skegness On The Internet - The Parade Complex Fire 2007

The Parade complex was devastated by fire in August 2007 - the buildings that hosted several popular night spots and arcades was totally destroyed over night. Located in the heart of Skegness, the town lost one of its most government land marks and popular venues within hours.

The premises at one time was "The Parade Hotel"

The fire was a great loss to the resort, not only due to the loss of a popular attraction, but also due to the appearance of a boarded area in the immediate heart of the tourist centre, remaining as such for two holiday seasons.

Latest (Feb.. 2008) Plans to re-develop the properties have been submitted for consultation and approval.
