A FORMER pub is being dismantled brick by brick by specialist demolition workers after the derelict building started to collapse. The property in Normacot Road, Longton, once operated as the American Hotel, and is known locally as The American although it is thought to have stood empty for about 40 years. Engineers from Stoke-on-Trent City Council assessed the building after part of the roof collapsed. They ruled the property was in such a dangerous state that the roads surrounding the site have been closed off. The authority is now dismantling it one brick at a time because the building is in a conservation area. The roof and top floor are currently being taken apart but the ground floor may remain in place if the council deems it to be safe.
