Dalton Mills fire: Shocking moment blaze rips through 150-year-old building used in Peaky Blinders and Downton Abbey
A HUGE fire has ripped through a historic 150-year-old building which was used in Peaky Blinders and Downton Abbey.
More than 20 fire crews are currently fighting the blaze at the Dalton Mills in Keighley, West Yorkshire – with 100 per cent of the building now in flames.
It's thought the fire began at midday today in the building that was built in 1869.
Shocking pictures and video show the colossal flames tearing through the landmark building as thick black smoke fills the air.
The building was once the largest textile mill in Yorkshire – but most recently has been used as a film set for hit TV shows such as Peaky Blinders.
A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "We are currently in attendance at a fire at Dalton Mills, Keighley.
"There is a lot of smoke in the area & residents are advised to keep doors/windows closed. Please avoid traveling through the area."
