That sounds intentional. It was bought, then it caught fire, the lane was blocked so firetrucks couldn’t gain direct access to it leading what looks like a total loss (minus the brickwork), and then it was suddenly demolished without anyone hearing about it? Sounds staged as hell to me; like the new owner knew people would be pissed if it got torn down, so they set it on fire and then used that as an excuse to demolish it.

We have precedent for things like this. Let’s hope the same happens here.
