Fire Engulfs Manchester’s Historic Hotspur Press, Days After Demolition Plans Rejected
Script:
The video shared by Valerie Smith (@pottycow1629) captures the dramatic fire that broke out at the historic Hotspur Press building in Manchester, near Oxford Road Station, on June 23, 2025. Thick smoke can be seen billowing from the former cotton mill as emergency services rush to the scene while onlookers gather nearby, underscoring the scale and seriousness of the incident.
Built in 1801, the Hotspur Press is a cherished part of Manchester’s industrial heritage. The fire comes just days after a planning application to demolish the building was rejected, adding a layer of irony and intensifying the ongoing debate about preserving versus redeveloping the city’s historical structures.
The blaze led to the temporary closure of Manchester Oxford Road station and caused significant disruption to train services, impacting thousands of commuters. The incident highlights the challenges of protecting historic buildings in modern urban landscapes and raises questions about fire safety and infrastructure resilience in densely populated areas.
