Backing on to Boscombe Chine Gardens, it traded as the Cliff End Hotel from the 1930s until it closed c2002, although it appears to have been inhabited in one form or another until 2005 when it was boarded up and fenced off.
Unsurprisingly it soon fell into disrepair and started to attract squatters and fly tippers.
In December 2012 a lightening strike started a fire that further damaged the structure.
The building, rather unsympathetically extended in the past, stands within a conservation area meaning it can't just be demolished and replaced by flats, rather any scheme would probably have to incorporate the original centre section, or at least the facade.
Either way, the longer the building stands unused, the more it deteriorates and the more difficult and expensive the job of redeveloping it becomes.

It is believed the main part of the building dates back to 1887, and the hotel was the first in Bournemouth to get colour television in 1968.
By the 1980s, it had 40 bedrooms and a restaurant that could seat 120 diners.
The Boscombe Partnership has been trying to get planning permission for a new build after buying the leasehold to the hotel in August 2010.
But the freeholder, the Meyrick Estate, has alleged that the building was not being well maintained, and has not given approval.
Councillors and residents said the hotel had become a “death trap” in the summer of 2011 after a teenage boy fell through the rotting floorboards, but was luckily unhurt.
Update July 2013.
A recent report in the Echo stated that the Meyrick Estate were planning to submit plans for the site that would include a building that residents "can be proud of......."

Musical legend Sir Cliff Richard joined Simon to talk about his autobiography 'My Life, My Way' and his new single 'Thank You for a Lifetime'.
We walked south along the Cliffs so that we could take a photo right back up the well lit cliffs when we turned around and shot the north side. I love this photo.
If you really want to test your photo skills, try tracking these guys in flight (hand-holding a 600mm lens). These guys move like bullets.
A few more images from our regular trip to north Norfolk last summer, to lighten the winter gloom. This is a somewhat dilapedated house on the clifftop at Weybourne.

Three Cliffs Bay, otherwise known as Three Cliff Bay, is a bay on the south coast of the Gower Peninsula in the City and County of Swansea, Wales. The bay takes its name from the three sea cliffs that jut out into the bay. Pennard Pill, a large stream, flows into the sea in the middle of the bay.
L'un des 5 phares visités sur la Côte-Nord fut celui de l'île aux perroquets. Nous avons eu la chance d'être les premiers clients de la nouvelle Auberge de l'île aux Perroquets. C'est un terrain de jeu incroyable pour un photographe. Tout y est magnifique.

the cliffs at the mouth of Drakes Bay, as seen from the very end of Limantour Spit, in the rain saturday
if you look verrrry closely, you can just see a thin line of bright yellow stretched across the water -- that's an oil containment boom, trying to keep any oil from the big spill in SF Bay from getting into the estuary behind it
have to say, it was an incredibly uncordinated effort -- they'd anchored the thing improperly, so that the outgoing tide broke the chain, and there were lots of guys in crappy raingear standing around in the cold, unsure of what the next step was going to be...
