09/08/2010
. (Gibson) BBC News reports today that the building where Ringo Starr made his Beatles debut has been damaged by fire. Firefighters spent several hours attempting to stop the blaze at the disused Southport nightclub.

The club, formerly the Kingsway on Coronation Walk, was burning when fire crews arrived on Monday night.

Eyewitness Andrew Brown told the BBC: "The fire really took hold of the top floor and the third floor wall collapsed on to the road outside, [drawing] a lot of gasps from the crowd. It was very dramatic. The fire was really ripping through the building." - more on this story
