This pub was called The Windmill as it stood near the site of a windmill. Demolished by Billy Butlin for an amusement park, was about where the wave swinger chairoplane is. I think they should build a new restaurant with a mock brick windmill incorporated. There are a few, such as in Milton Keynes and Lincoln. It wouldn't look much like the front of the theatre, and would look more like the original one.
I remember we had a huge fire in Basingstoke called The Portsmouth Arms that too was virtually burnt to the Ground as it had a thatched roof and that was rebuilt so hopefully this will get rebuilt

Very sad, went to see it today. Hopefully it will be rebuilt, thanks for the vid.
It really was sad
Sad to see hope all the staff are ok and that it can be rebuilt
It was lovely in there and the food was always good. Please rebuild. Hope the staff are ok and get housed and sorted out. Truly awful to see.
It was always a good eating place
Well said 👏 ❤️ xx

Drop the music, it's not a Pathe newsreel.

@@nickturner6249 devastatingly bad...
I live here, me and my friend was there, it was so scary and heartbreaking to watch 😢
Thanks for your comments
By any chance did any engines come from Billingshurst?😊
Sorry, I do not have an answer to your question!
I am sad the windmil Caught fire
FYI it spelled "hydrants"
They are demolished
I'm betting a hood fire. Very common in restaurants.
I believe it started in the kitchen.
Had to switch off the sound, terrible soundtrack, no need for it!!!
