The fire started in the top floor flat of the taller white building (above shops) and spread to the neighbouring listed building. Holes in the roof were created by the fire crew to vent the building and allow access for the fire hoses. Though described as a major fire attended by 80 fire crew, little damage can be seen externally, particularly from the High Street. The majority of the fire damage was to the rear of the roof.
