Chilwell community in mourning as woman who 'loved minding her garden' dies in house fire

Neighbours have paid tribute to a 'lovely' and 'very pleasant' elderly woman who died in a house fire in Chilwell. At around 12.30pm on Sunday (July 10), emergency services were called to a house fire in Cator Lane.

A police cordon was put in place between Clumber Avenue and Bramcote Avenue while the incident was dealt with. At the time, neighbours outside of the cordon described hearing sirens and the smell of smoke.

Nottinghamshire Police have since confirmed an 88-year-old woman died in the property. And neighbours living in Cator Lane have paid tribute to her, describing how "she loved minding her garden".
