Blaze at the Beaufort Arms

The crews arrived just after 2am and it took until 5am to get the fire under control.

 

Firefighters could not pinpoint a reason that caused the blaze, although arson is strongly suspected.

 

A building inspector will now decide whether it is safe for investigators to enter the building.

 

The pub, located adjacent to the platform of the former Wootton Bassett railway station, closed in 2008.
