'We don’t know what is going to happen but we will try to rebuild somehow'
In a post on Facebook Quirky Interiors expressed their complete devastation over the fire:
"I am shaking as I write this. Everything has gone. Those of you that know us and have followed James will understand that this building and this business was everything to him. He literally put blood, sweat and tears into his work. He came here to work, to escape, to toil and to create. He is always experimenting, collecting and trialling new things. 30 years of his favourite antiques, tools, new machines - everything is beyond destroyed. "
The business explained the unit was about to be transformed into a creative space for workshops and new projects:
"We had a real excitement for the future. .
"We don’t know what is going to happen but we will try to rebuild somehow."
