Video shows stark aftermath of manor house blaze
A significant fire erupted at Woolton Hall, a Grade I-listed manor house in Liverpool, on Tuesday evening. Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service was called shortly after 8pm, deploying up to nine fire engines to tackle the blaze, with residents advised to keep windows and doors closed. Firefighters were unable to enter the three-storey stone-built property due to safety concerns, as assessed by a building surveyor. In the above video, you can watch crews continue to work at the scene, damping down and checking for hot spots. The privately owned hall, built in 1704, sustained a collapsed roof, and has been the subject of preservation efforts by local campaigners, having also faced a suspected arson attack in 2019.
