Thanks to Laura for alerting me to this, I got to the scene around 12.30pm and the guards informed me I had missed the iconic clocktower crashing through to the basement by 15 minutes. I spoke to the fire crews who got their call at 8.45am and supposedly arrived on scene to a fire that had started in the basement.
The entire centre of the admin building is gutted, the right hand side is mostly gutted with a small section left and the left hand side survived unscathed. Fire crews went up into the left hand side of the building and doused the flames from upstairs which was more effort than I was expecting for a derelict building.
