[font=Arial, sans-serif]A VICTORIAN mansion which is part of Coventry’s industrial heritage faces demolition after it was ravaged by a blaze in a suspected arson attack.Copsewood Grange house was engulfed by flames and huge plumes of smoke billowed from the building yesterday.



Last used as a social club, the empty building dates back to the 1870s when it was the home of the wealthy ribbon manufacturer James Hart.



The GEC bought the house and its parkland as part of its huge telephone works factory in 1921 and used the Grange as a staff clubhouse, which was once recognised as one of the finest staff clubs in the entire country.

I know the person who set fire to it in September and this is location where I took these: http://offtopix.com/topic/10909-first-of-2011/ I hope it isn't knocked down, I might need to go back and take some photos again one day.

Did the person you know who did this in September get caught? Shame you can't go back there now, Chris, as I bet they are going to knock this down.

idk
 
I'd be scared to go back there. That place is creepy and now with this happening, who knows if someone is hanging out there. Could be crazy squatters or homeless people who started a fire to keep warm. XD
 
Did you go alone? I don't think you could even pay me to go there! I'd be hearing things that weren't there and scare myself half to death.

Yeah, I was very creeped out when I was there D:



You have a peculiar habit of going into sketchy places that you might not come back out of to get a few pictures. Hardcore.

My mum gave me a lift in her car but she just sat in it and waited for me XD

If you love doing something, then you'll do anything for it.
