Show Notes
A historic mill in Leek, Staffordshire, was devastated by a fire late Friday, leaving it structurally unsound and under a cordon. An eighteen-year-old suspect is in custody, but no injuries reported. Firefighters battled windy conditions, evacuating nearby homes. The mill, derelict since 2007, was once a silk yarn and pine product factory. The owner, who planned to convert it into flats, is heartbroken. The community mourns the loss, but local spirit remains strong as a nearby cafe supported emergency crews.
