Fire crews from both Merseyside and Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service were deployed to the abandoned mansion Hale Road, Widnes at around 8.30pm last night, Tuesday, November 1.

Fire crews worked through the night battling the blaze - and remained at the scene this morning. Hale Road was also closed while fire crews dealt with the incident.
