There's been another fire at Keighley's Dalton Mills, the second in under a week.

Fire crews were called out at 10:35pm last night to a blaze on the top floor of the derelict mill, with around half of the floor on fire.

Six crews and an aerial ladder were involved in fighting the flames.

It's thought the blaze was started deliberately, with crews also being called out last Wednesday to flames on the fourth and fifth floors - again a suspected arson.

The Grade II listed mill complex has stood mostly in ruins since 2022, after another blaze destroyed a large part of it.
