A car sustained major damages after a wall collapsed at a former hotel on top of Langton Hill in Pembroke when Hurricane Imelda passed on Wednesday night.

Neighbours ventured out in the morning to the sight of scattered stone debris from the wall at an abandoned section of the former Hamiltonian Hotel and Island Club, which had toppled onto the vehicle.

“We went to the top there and were surprised to see all the bricks on the car,” a neighbour recalled. “It looks like it got major damage.”

The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, said that at about 10am on Thursday she walked up a stairway to the site where she saw others looking at the damaged car.

She said no one lived at the section of the former hotel where the damage occurred.

She said she did not know who owned the car but she noted that people who rent apartments at the former hotel would, on occasion, park their vehicles close to the wall.

At the site yesterday, the car was parked in front of another building on the property.

The woman said the son of the owner managed the property.

He was not present but she noted that he would occasionally visit the site.

The former hotel closed more than a decade ago after it faced financial problems amid court battles which ran for several years.
