Firefighters have identified the cause of a fire that ripped through a former children's home.
The blaze broke out at St Gabriel's Convent on Church Road in Woolton just after 6pm on Saturday, October 8. Firefighters worked through the night to fight the fire as flames tore through the first floor and roof space of the derelict building.
Crews continued to work to tame the blaze until firefighting activity concluded at 5.30am on Sunday, leaving the scene shortly after. One fire engine returned to the scene later on Sunday morning to check for hotspots.
