Many thanks! The fire my father was involved in was the one that destroyed the Ballroom, at the base of the Tower. I was quite young at the time, but clearly remember seeing it before and immediately after the fire, and being quite upset that such a beautiful place had been destroyed. I subsequently worked there, and in the roof gardens, as a general helper and icecream seller! I had to park my bike in the basement, where the circus animals were caged. The insurance company could hardly believe my claim for a new back wheel - "an elephant stood on it"....honest. Cheers Bob
