During the night of the 30th to the 31st of March these two historic buildings in the Market Square were extremely badly damaged by fire. Compare this picture with Image taken by Trish Steel a day after it happened and we can see that, apart from scaffolding added to the Costa Coffee shop, very little has happened. They are probably waiting for the insurance companies to pay out.
