Dramatic scenes were pictured on Thursday night as fire crews blocked off a road as they tackled a huge fire at a derelict nightclub. Stamford Street Central, in Ashton-under-Lyne, was closed off by emergency services as the fire service attempted to bring the blaze under control.
Multiple fire crews raced to the scene, as clouds of black smoke could been seen escaping from the windows of the former Hudson Bay nightclub building. It has been confirmed that the site is derelict with an investigation underway into the cause.
Adjoining Booth Street was also closed off, with fire crews remaining at the scene for around two hours. The emergency services were called just after 6.15pm.
