A fire which broke out at a former Accrington night club is believed to have started deliberately.

Crews from Hyndburn were called to the derelict Churchill's club on Cannon Street to put out the blaze on the first floor.

Watch manager Rob Birtwistle said it was only a small fire near the bar area at the top of the stairs.

The incident happened just before 11pm on Friday, November 15 and an investigation is under way.
