RMweb Premium Simon Lee Posted February 7, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 7, 2021 Just seen this on the BBC website, hopefully smoke/water damage will not cause to many problems, as it appears to be the property adjoining the Emporium. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-55971786 Fortunately casualties seem minimal 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) That probably accounts for the "phones being down" message. We have experienced a power cut over night which has left us with no Phone system until the power is restored. Please bear with us this morning , we hope to have power back in the next few hours Jason Edited February 7, 2021 by Steamport Southport Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm reasonably sure that their postal dept is not in the main shop but elsewhere. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Oliver Rails Posted February 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2021 Many thanks for everyones well wishes. I am pleased to report that all is well at Rails. The fire was in the property adjoining the Emporium. Minor damaged was caused to both the Emporium and flat above. The majority if this damaged was made by the Firemen who had to break into both the shop and flat to check for occupants and spreading of the fire. Luckily the fire hadn't spread to us and all residents were safe and well. So we have a little bit of water and smoke damage in the flat and require a couple of new doors and a shutter. A full emporium deep clean is also taking place. All new mail order stock is held off site so is unaffected. The business continues to function as normal. We would like to thank the South Yorkshire Fire Department for all their efforts on Sunday, as things could have been a lot worse! Our thoughts go out to the victim of the fire who I hear is still critical in hospital. Oliver @ Rails. 5 42 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
