A former brewery in Bury was destroyed last night in a suspected arson attack.
About 30 fire fighters battled to bring the blaze under control at the old Walmerlsey Brewery in Walmersley Road.
Half of the building, more recently used by oil company Spur Petrolium, was destroyed.
Walmersley Road was closed to traffic at the height of the fire.
Fire crews will remain at the scene throughout today.
