Residents have shared their shock after a building caught fire in the town centre. On Tuesday, May 30, Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue crews were called to a former school site in Newark after recieving reports of a fire.
The fire broke out at around 5pm at the Lilley and Stone site on London Road. It has been reported that the fire broke out in an unused building at the back of the site, which has been destroyed by the blaze.
The incident comes after the police have warned youths in the area that the site is "not a playground" following instances of trespassing. Inquiries are still taking place to help establish the cause of the fire.
