Fire damages Dimsdale flats

Two flats in Fore Street have suffered serious damage following a fire during the early hours.

Six fire crews were called to the overnight blaze during which four people were led to safety. The blaze was brought under control and fully extinguished by around 6am.

The flats are part of the former Dimsdale Arms, which was converted for residential use around 20 years ago.

Pizza Express and Baroosh also suffered damage in the blaze. Whilst Pizza Express is now partially open, Baroosh is closed for the day.
