Beauty Queen Shop Demolished After Major Fire in Leicester

Demolition work has begun on the former Beauty Queen Cosmetics shop in Leicester, which was destroyed in a major fire last week. The blaze broke out on Thursday, October 26, and took more than 36 hours to bring under control. Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service said that the building was structurally unsound and would have to be demolished.

Contractors began demolishing the building over the weekend, and work is expected to continue for several days. The demolition site has been cordoned off to the public, and motorists are advised to avoid the area.

The fire at the Beauty Queen shop caused significant damage to the building and its contents. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but no injuries have been reported.
