At around 4am this morning a fire broke out on the Fleetwood Pier, Lancashire.

The beach resort in Fleetwood has had this 492ft pier since it opened originally in 1910 and which was subsequently rebuilt in 1952 following another fire.

Up to 10 fire engines were called up to tackle the fire which had spread through two-thirds of the Lancashire Pier.

Early indications are that nobody was injured in the fire.
