Hotel home to Ukrainian refugees - including children - has been destroyed in a blaze overnight
Photos and video taken by Mr Holloway, who lives opposite the hotel, showed the spread of the fire from an adjoining building to the roof of the Angel Inn."Over 30 people have been evacuated from the building and firefighters are working hard to bring the fire under control," West Sussex Fire and Rescue Services said.
Ten fire engines, an aerial ladder platform, water carrier and off-road vehicle responded to the incident, though a number of these were stood down later on Thursday morning. Sussex Police, which sent officers to the scene, warned road closures would be in place in the local area.
