Took these shots around 5.45pm from the top of Mill Lane car park looking west. The fire appears to have started around 5pm. Three snorkels on site, a large section of the track seems to have burnt and collapsed, but it also appeared to be on fire in two other places. The whole town smells like one of those wood-burning ovens you get in pizza restaurants. Looked to be pretty much under control when I left around 6pm, though.So, that's the second major fire in Margate in little more than a week. It seems that whatever's not boarded up, the morons are determined to burn down. When will it all end?

Grrrrrrr.
There feels like a certain sense of inevitability about this.
This is really sad, bad, news!

Corruption in Margate, nay, Thanet is rife! It seems the way to get what you want in that pissy small minded place is to burn it down, then act all upset about it! I wouldn't be shocked if we leart that the Council, or the Margate Town Development company who own the site had something to do with this! As with Camden Market (although this is still yet to be proved), the Council wanted to get rid of it, so burn it down. Same here. You'll see the land turned into flats or a shopping arcade or some such now.
Small minded bastards in an inbred little community. It's a shame that such a national treasure has been drawn into this now. I know the kids in Thanet are shits, but I doubt any of them are clever enough to burn something down.
What a tragedy for Dreamland's owner Jimmy Godden. Didn't his Pleasurama complex mysteriously burn down in Ramsgate just a few years ago after efforts were made by others to preserve it?
