This is the moment a council street sweeper crashed into a 190-year-old Grade 2 star listed hotel causing up to £10,000 pounds worth of structural damage. The incident at the Lowther Hotel in Goole, East Yorks., is the first time damage has been caused to the age-old portico - which has remained intact since 1824, even surviving a World War One Zeppelin bombing raid. But it was no match for the street sweeper which was trying to fit through a gap between the pillar and a nearby 4x4 car. A structural engineer who has been inspecting the damaged portico estimated the cost of fixing it to be between a whopping £5,000 and £10,000 pounds.
