Oh crap!

We've just been past the Yim Wah (the Chinese Restaurant at Caxton Gibbet that we, [livejournal.com profile] furrfu and [livejournal.com profile] bslsimes have been to). And the fire engines are still there, still spraying water on the building, gone midnight. It's still smoking, and the roof has gone.

It caught alight sometime during the day, according to the earlier BBC report.

Yep - the back area seems full of building materials.

It's a real shame: the place has obviously had a decent amount of money spent on it, and it showed.

I'm assuming it wasn't an insurance job, because they didn't seem short of customers on the occasions we visited, despite their distance from any housing. With Cambourne swelling, and being the only decent Chinese establishment within sensible reach of that town, their future should have been assured.
