The part-demolition of the Royal Albion Hotel has revealed a painting which somehow survived the inferno.
The west wing of the seafront hotel is being pulled down after flames ripped through it just over a week ago.
The painting, which appears to have hung in a third floor bedroom, features sailing boats in the sea.
Another, less artistic picture, which also appears untouched, hanging on a wall on the floor below asks people to switch off lights to save energy.

There’s no way that picture survived the blaze. It’s been hung on the scorched wall afterwards.
Someone with very long arms maybe? If you look at the wall surrounding the picture, it is scorched in places but not around the picture. Things quite often survive a fire despite the odds – look at the pictures of the Windsor Castle fire, for example.
And who might have done that I wonder
It does seem to show signs of smoke damage? Why would anyone think otherwise? No sense to it…
