Fire in the Southgate Centre Bath

Tuesday’s fire and explosion in the New Southgate Shopping Centre
caused mass disruption in the town.

Most of the good pictures were taken by amateurs or professionals
who were lucky enough to be in Bath
before the town was shut down. 

Large crowds gather in open spaces around the town.

Traffic backs up as the Churchill Bridge is closed for hours.   

Passengers are left on the station as the trains 

go straight through without stopping.

Workers are left waiting to return to the site.

Fire fighters cool the gas bottles.   

The town was closed late into the evening; in fact I 

walked three and a half miles to get around the centre for these pictures!
