- Sunday June 6, 1993: A wing of the Holbeck Hall Hotel on Britain's east coast collapses into the sea as the cliff wall beneath it gives way. It happens at the exact moment Yorkshire TV's Calendar programme goes on the air, with the presenter, the great Richard Whiteley, positioned in front of the building. The first part of the clip, recorded from the studio feed before it went on air and with director Dave Behrens heard on gallery talkback, is from a documentary screened shortly after Richard's death.
30 years on and a hotel that no longer exists because it collapsed into the sea is still better than The Grand Hotel in Scarborough!
RIP to Richard Whiteley a regional and national legend.
I still miss Richard Whitley. Nowadays, there are so few gentlemen (and ladies) presenting on TV.
I lived for years in Scarborough at what used to be the Army Barracks, it was a beautiful place to live. I know those who owned and worked in that hotel would've been devastated.
Drama in Sheffield. Looks like a drama in Scarborough Christa.
Title should be "Holbeck Hall Hotel, Scarborough, chimney collapses on live TV"
I remember this being broadcast like it was yesterday. Such a lovely hotel, so very sad.
instablaster.
LOLLLLL
@@ruthlessuk6313 What's so funny?
Could only happen to twice nightly, this kind of thing only happens once yearly nearly. Big love Richard.
it didn't all fall over the edge they demolished the remaining structure after half went
Thanks for this upload
I remember delivering to that hotel many years ago. Also met that presenter richard whitley once. I had to voice my opinion of his driving skills (or lack of) after he almost ran me over because he wasn't looking where he was going. Looking to his right at some young women whilst turning left where I was crossing the road. Pillock
Crazy Brit - Nasa Fan 👏👏👏👏
lol
That be a good news Headline Crazy Brit Nasa Fan nearly get run over by Richard Whitely. lol
Why didn't you look to see if there was any traffic coming before looking
@@stevecampbell7589 I was already crossing the road before he turned onto it, he was at fault. As stated in the Highway code, pedestrians already crossing the road have right of way. He was looking to his right, and not left where he was stearing to enter the road. The road I was crossing (Kirkstall Road, opposite the YTV studios) is quite wide and he was stearing from a side road.
From the reporters glasses frames I would have put this at late 70's.
1993
Those big-lens glasses were fashionable in the early 90s. Even the then-Prime Minister John Major had them!
That's something you sure don't see every day.
But people do see it. They see it and know it is happening every day. They have known for decades about the crumbling dissapearing shoreline. But the problems are more than just superficial. Suggest some sea defensers and you could have ten thousand crazed enviromentalists on you case. Try and change what is classed as an area of out standing natural beauty and you need a stronger case than a mere Hotel falling in to the sea (Possibly). Then there is the problem or reality of who owns the shoreline or that specific piece of shore line and whose responsibility it is. Further along the coast there is the dispute over a section where all the private owners at risk want help from the local council but the local coundil designated them all as private owers (Landlords) and therefore the responsibility is upon the private owners. So the erosian continues. You could check out what is now the English/French Channel. It used to me all land. Now it is a gapping channel 20 to 50 miles across with strong sea currants eroding more and more. Part of the bigger picture is English Heritage who have responsibility for large sections of the English shoreline. Problem is they are marketing those areas as areas of outstanding natural beauty. But nether-the-less English Heritage are seen as those responsible for those coast lines. Teeth as clean white as the White Cliffs of Dover may be areas of out standing natural beauty. But then you have the dark crubling cavity ridden stumps and roots in the mouths of some whores, drug users or owners of neglect which happen to also be reguarded as if also areas of out standing natural beauty or deserving of the same or similar treatment. Those teeth are certainly not reguarded as the responsibility of Dentists who earn their living as managers of teeth as they are only responsible up to how much they are paid. Otherwise they need the service of The national Health which pulls teeth out or does cheap temporary services and was using poisinous mercury amalgam fillings. My unwitting father trusted dentists and took me there in my youth pre teens often when ever any pain occured or anything. As a result I am very sorry that most of my teeth were drilled out before I was ten years of age. As if dentists in the sixties had only drills and mercury fillings. My poor teeth seemed to have no chance. So as an example those managers of areas of out standing Natural beauty are or were as devastating a problem as the natural forces which caused the minior erosion in the first place. So there is a need to manage your own but then others want others to manage their lives for them. So the erosion continues. It's the management who need to be told and they will tell the owners it is their responsibility in many cases. A circle. Happens every day. Oh yes people see it every day.
I remember watching this at the time! It was a big story
We were in Scarborough that very weekend and saw it happen. We collected a brick from the shoreline later and still have it.
Ratio
@@ruthlessuk6313 eh?
What the hell do you want with a brick?
@@leej70 it props their door open.
@@leej70I imagine it’s souvenir from seeing something you don’t see everyday.
Which was the longest word made out of all that?
Sad to think that this a fate that might await s good chunk of Britain...
We stayed there in 1988 (my daughter was conceived there). It was very upmarket but they couldn't understand why we went out for breakfast.
Drama in Sheffield? It’s Scarborough 🤣
Well that was a minute I'll never get back.
Nobody asked you to watch it.
I don't know what you expected, it's not going to collapse all at once, it's not that kind of structural failure, it's gradual collapse due to subsidence.
Well done Sherlock.
Wonderful observation Sherlock.
You got exactly what you clicked to see. The title is as accurate as can be.
Christa, ya sacked...
I was there the next day.
Came to my recommended, I watched.
I was going to spend my wedding night there back in 93
You would have felt the earth move!!
@@endurance-adventures hahaha we thought they did after seeing this video.
FRAUDULENT click bait title, obviously the only thing that collapsed on camera was a chimney - THUMBS DOWN
Jet Gardner I totally agree it’s unacceptable TH-cam BANN ITTTT
Falling into the sea. That's what cliffs do!
Back in the day wasn't it Charles Loughtons house
Sheffield is not on the coast but Scarborough is.
Just a matter of time.
I thought the whole thing was gonna go in this video. Dissapointed.
What happened to all the gear in there??recokon that must be in Seattle....
They got it all out because they knew it was gonna happen
Little bit of hotel falls into the sea disappointing viewers who expected from the description the whole thing to go.
got to love live tv
i remember that being built like it was yesterday
@@morechloepopsmspgaming3861So you’re old enough to remember Holbeck Hall being built in 1879, eh?
i hope Bazil and Cybil got out ok
I wonder if they informed the guests?
Of course they did!
Wow, it's not just the British EMPIRE that's falling apart, now their hotels are going down too!
The British Empire? Time to catch up with current events.
1997 was the end of the British Empire
Count down clock comes to mind hear ( i mean here )
At least he wore his saftey goggles
Am I the only one who noticed the face Richard pulled before they faded him out?
That's the "Wow, that was really impressive, I wasn't expecting that" look. He really was a legend, was Richard.
Kind of a clickbaity title.
I just don't undetstand.... if they saw the cliff was eroding, why didn't they try and do something alot earlier to save this beautiful old structure ? Once a piece of history is gone, you can never get it back..... what a shame this had to happen............
“Why didn’t they do something?” Like what?
That's Scarborough, not Sheffield, you silly woman
What about all the stuff in the hotel
What about it? It’s just stuff.
SPECIAL EFFECTS WERE BETTER IN THE 80'S :P
I'll not complain..just block anything from this site!
my left ear enjoyed this
I live here
It should be, "small piece of.....
It’s twice night whitely!!
That was pretty much a waste.
I loved that 🏨
Falty Towers, Basiiiiiil...............
Fawlty.
reporting live at the scene we have holbeck hall hotel falling into the sea, i am mr burrito and we will see you later tonight
edit: i am litrally writing this at 00:00 on 15th december 2020 good night from me
cuckoo brains
A video that shows a chimney fall off a hotel.
Yea but now the hotel is gone, the title is click bait. The hotel collapsed later on.
Looks like elton john
Jeez
it was a chimney, not a fckn hotel
Does not collapse ...
Boring. I wanted the whole thing to fall over.
Yeah, the video's exaggerating title misleadingly implies that that's what happened. Disappointing when only a small part on the far side of the building fell.
The chimney fell off that’s all
Must have been some overweight Americans in that tower
Hotel Paradiso !
Drama in Sheffield 😂😂😂😂😂 oh dear Christa .
All that hype over a fucking chimney?? Geez man, what a total waste of cellular data!
Gosh, was it managed by Basil Fawlty?
Managed? No. Mismanaged..... 🤣
Holey
But what happened to the sextuplets?
lalaalalaa
Click bait
W hat a shame
CLICKBAIT! Never fell!
Thanks for your lame click bait. More like a small portion collapses👎🙄
hahaha my god talk about overly dramatic
Not that dramatic
Can't stand calendar
They should have played the Countdown music.
