Contractors have arrived on site this morning (August 19) to set up and prepare for an eight-week-long demolition process in Runswick Bay at the Cliffemount Hotel.
Official communications confirm that the demolition of the building itself is expected to commence during the second week of September.
The entire process, which is being led by Stainforth Construction, has been given an expected completion date of October 11.
Cliffemount Hotel was once a popular destination for tourists to stay when visiting the area.
In 2022 the hotel closed and was sold to the Fojt family, who have strong links to Runswick Bay.
In 2023, it was announced that the family intended to demolish the old hotel and rebuild Cliffemount as a new 20 sea-view room hotel, pub and restaurant.
