CROWDS have gathered in Walmersley as fire crews tackle a blaze believed to have been caused by a pile of rubbish.
Pictures show firefighters near an outbuilding in Peter Street, just behind the former Salisbury Club.
Eyewitness John Millar, 36, of Manchester Road, Bury, said: "It looked like firefighters have prevented the blaze, which I think involved a pile of rubbish, from spreading to a nearby club premises."
Residents have reported smelling smoke all the way over in Bury town centre.
Local fire stations have been contacted for further comment.
