Peaky Blinders film set hit by huge fire

A huge fire has engulfed a building that has been used for filming on the popular Peaky Blinders TV series. Dalton Mills, in Dalton Lane, Keighley, was reported as being on fire at around midday.

YorkshireLive reports that flames and smoke can be seen from miles around and more than 100 firefighters have been battling the inferno. Once the largest textile mill in Yorkshire, employing 2,000 workers, the site is now a well-used location for filming period dramas, with Downton Abbey also having shot there.

A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service (WYFRS) said: "We were called at 12.03 to reports of a fire at Dalton Mills on Dalton Lane in Keighley. We currently have twenty crews there."
