The scene inside the building

Firefighters wore breathing apparatus and used hoses to tackle the flames before ventilating the smoke-logged building.

Simon Roberts, watch manager with blue watch at Shrewsbury fire station, said: “It was a small fire in part of the building but there was nobody inside.

“We put the fire out and fire investigators will be taking a look.

“At this stage we believe a possible cause of the fire was some clothing left drying by a fire.”

The roof space, insulation and ceiling were damaged.

    I’ll see what I can do – if young Spencer ever brings my Box Brownie back (while he’s at it he can tell me who this Robert Capa-Esque is – sounds like some foreigner to me).
