Police today appealed for witnesses and information about a suspected arson at the former Kimberley Hotel in Harrogate.

Eight fire engines were called to the derelict 90-bed hotel on King's Road at about 11pm on Tuesday last week when smoke was seen pouring out of the front and rear of the building.

Half of the main building was damaged by smoke and an annex was destroyed.

A subsequent investigation by firefighters concluded the fire is believed to have been caused deliberately.

Fire crews outside the Kimberley Hotel last week.



Six days on, North Yorkshire Police said in a statement:

"As part of the ongoing police investigation, we are appealing people to come forward about any suspicious activity at the location and particularly on the evening of Tuesday March 7."


You can email ellie.paul@northyorkshire.police.uk or call 101, select option 2, and ask for Ellie Paul or pass information on anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Quote the North Yorkshire Police reference number 12230042171 when providing details.
