A fire tore through a derelict former nightclub near Newcastle Quayside which has already been ravaged by multiple fires.
Emergency crews attended the scene at the former Stereo nightclub, also previously known as the Barley Mow on City Road in Newcastle on Thursday evening. The road was subsequently closed off as traffic was diverted from the vicinity while the blaze was tackled.
Smoke drifted over Newcastle's Quayside and could be seen from Gateshead. Flames shot out from the building before firefighters arrived to dampen the fire down.
