The fire, which started at around 5.15pm on Friday, 28th October saw over 150 firefighers at the scene during the height of the incident.
Starting in ‘The Galleries’ building, the fire then spread to the roof of The Royal Clarence Hotel, later tearing through the building which collapsed internally.
The area is quiet today, with a sense of sadness.
Shoppers are being diverted down the back roads in order to reach guildhall shopping centre which remains open.
Aerial footage from a Police drone has shown the extent of the devastation.
