What caused the Liverpool Littlewoods fire and where is the Pools building?
LIVERPOOL's famous Littlewoods Pools building has been partly destroyed by a "heartbreaking" fire. Fire crews battled to stop the huge inferno from engulfing the rest of the landmark Art Deco structure. Here's what we know. Where is the Littlewoods Pools building?

News / UK and world by Press Association September 3, 2018, 3:25 pm FacebookTwitterLinkedInWhatsAppEmail Sign up to our Daily newsletter A blaze at the former Littlewoods building will not “hamper” the ambitions for the landmark site in Liverpool, say its developers. The roof and flooring at the building was badly damaged as flames took hold on Sunday evening. Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service (MFRS) said crews were confronted with a “significant” fire that at one point saw an area measuring 200m x 100m alight. However, firefighters were able to prevent the whole site being engulfed and the 1930s Art-Deco structure’s integrity is thought to have withstood the blaze. The fire in Edge Lane was brought under control at about 1.30am on Monday as crews spent the rest of the day damping down at the scene. The former Littlewoods Pools building has been empty since 2003, although a £50 million scheme to transform the site had recently … [Read more...] about Fire at Littlewoods building will not hamper site ambitions, say developers
