Firefighters have thanked the local community for their help into an investigation into a blaze at a century-old building in Gateshead earlier this month.
Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service received a call reporting the locally listed bowling clubhouse was on fire at 8.05pm on Sunday March 13th.
Two crews from Gateshead Community Fire Station were on the scene in a matter of minutes to bring it under control but sadly the 100-year-old clubhouse has been severely damaged by the fire.
