[font=Arial, sans-serif]A VICTORIAN mansion which is part of Coventryââ¬â¢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.
